AW: BRF

[Griffiths, Mark]

Hello All,

Just working on SRM 7 and getting to grips with the BRF.

It is difficult to initially get your head around but basically you create a load of expressions which can call code, constants and include conditions on other expressions (there are lots delivered as standard).  The good news is that there is an adaptor to call Business Object Attributes and many of the SAP delivered expressions do just this.  For ABAP class fans you can also call these.  You then reference your expressions with events and use these to decide which process you want to start and how many levels you want.  Very interesting indeed!

Regards,


Mark

Dale,

In SRM 7.0 you choose between Application-controlled Workflow and Process-controlled Workflow when developing, one or the other.  Application-controlled is our existing and beloved Workflow functionality known to all (okay, some).

Process-controlled Workflow is implemented using configuration, BRF Workbench (rules, expressions, events, actions, rule sets, groups) and Badi’s for agent resolution.  Process-controlled configuration consists of schemas, process levels and is integrated with BRF functionality.  The BRF events and expressions are used to evaluate process schemas and to validate process steps.  It is totally and radically different, a shock to the system.  Imagine developing a Workflow without every editing a template or modifying a Business Object (it brings a tear to my eye).

Regards,
Thomas Maue

Hello Mike!
Hello Dale!

Yes, BRF does (indirectly) interact with Workflow. In the new SAP for Insurance FS-CM module there exist the concept of business events in BRF triggering workflows.
Actually, the point is that a BRF Event may create a task, which, in turn, triggers a SAP Workflow. The so called tasks can be then found in the transperent DB table ICLACTIVITY.
For this purpose SAP has developed an own implementation class ICL.
Maybe in the more general case of using BRF outside the SAP FS-CM module, a user has to implement a custom implementation class (the equaivalent of ICL).


What SAP module are worikng interested with?

Hope this helps,

Hi Dale,

Not sure if I've missed your question, but workflow doesn't interact with BRF (yet). You would currently have to write your own class to make the appropriate calls.

Cheers,
Mike
