Suggestion required for creating sales process through workflow

[Nandakumar Alavandar]

Hi,

I have a specfic requirement to implement sales process worklow for my client .
Requirement: 
The entire sales process starting from Sales order to Shipment cost is already completed in the legacy system, and the data is later send to Process Interface as a flat file to update the staging table in SAP through proxy.
The data recieved is for the previous day transactions, in few region records can be send every 20 minutes instantly from the legacy sytem to SAP .

The client is interested in doing the entire process of creation sales order to shipment process using the workflow , advantage the client thinks is the tracking process.

Issues Identified -
1) Locking issues while creating sales orders for the same contract.(there could be 400 sales order created in the same day and contract ),the  CX_BO_TEMPORARY to handle the temporary locking issue but not a permant solution.
2) Huge volume of workflow events will be triggered in a short duration of time, 
3) Each workflow instance triggered will be involved in creation of sales order to shipment cost prcoess.
4)  Activated the event queue which distributes the load, but system performance could be affected.

Alternative solution proposed to do the entire process in schedule batch program and handle the error scenario through workflow .

Suggestion required whether the above process could be efficient through the workflow process for high voume data.
