Use

In this IMG activity, you set up the Workflow Builder such that you can use the predefined components (standard tasks and multistep tasks) that are delivered in the standard system for HCM Processes and Forms while modeling your own workflows. You can select these components and move them using drag and drop to the graphical modeling interface of the Workflow Builder to use them to model workflow templates.

Components are preconfigured steps that can be included in the modeling of the workflow. These can be steps for processing or approving forms, for example. By including components in other workflow templates, you can use identical steps in these templates without having to copy the steps. The advantage of this is that any changes you make to the components have an effect on all workflow templates containing the components.

Requirements

Standard settings

In the context of HCM Processes and Forms, SAP delivers a range of components (standard tasks and multistep tasks (workflows)) that you can use to create your own workflow template. These are part of the Components for HCM Processes and Forms task group (TG17900001). The TG17900001 task group contains the following task groups:

Interactive components (task group TG17900002)

At the runtime of a process, interactive components create work items that are then sent to specific Portal users. These users receive the work items in their universal worklist (UWL).

Task / Multistep Task    Name

TS17900100    Edit Form

TS17900101    Approve Form

TS17900102    Form Is Edited Again by Author

WS17900260    Save Form with Error Handling

Background components (task group TG17900003)

Background components are run without any interaction from the user. They create results in the workflow container and you can use these results for process modeling.

Task/Multistep Task    Name

TS17900106    Check Existence of PA Infotype

TS17900107    Check Form Data

TS17900108    Save Form Data

TS17900110    Import Form Container -> WF Container

Note

For information about the task groups and tasks, see SAP Library under SAP ERP Central Component -> Human Resources -> Personnel Management -> HR Administrative Services (PA-AS) -> HCM Processes and Forms -> Business Workflow for HCM Processes and Forms.
