In this step, you can activate workflows that are triggered from within the QM application component.

To do this, you use the SAP Business Workflow component. The settings for this are described in the Implementation Guide for the SAP Basis System (chapter Workflow Management).

Standard settings

In the standard system, certain workflow events and workflow templates are predefined for the QM component. You can use the transaction PFTC_DIS to find a complete overview of the workflow templates contained in the standard system. In this transaction, choose the task type 'workflow template' and display a structured overview of the workflow templates contained in the application components, using the F4/F8 keys in the 'Task' field. You can expand the QM component, choose and display one of the workflows.

Examples

  • Workflows for inspection lot processing
    The workflows are linked to the status management func tion for the inspection lot.
    • WS 200066 - No inspection plan assigned
      Start condition: when the inspection lot is created, no inspection plan can be explicitly assigned.
      End condition: an inspection plan is assigned to the inspection lot.
    • WS 200067 - No sample calculated
      Start condition: no sample is calculated when the inspection lot is created.
      End condition: sample calculation is carried out.
    • WS 200068 - Receipt of certificate is not confirmed
      Start condition: receipt of certificate is not confirmed when inspection lot is created.
      End condition: receipt of certificate is confirmed when usage decision is made.
    • WS 200069 - Open stock postings
      Start condition: usage decision is made, however, open stock postings still exist for the inspection lot.
      End condition: stock postings are carried out.
    • WS 200070 - Inspection not completed
      Start condition: inspection completion for the short-term inspection is set.
      End condition: inspection completion for long-term inspection is set.
    • WS 200071 - Usage decision has not been made
      Start condition: inspection completion for short-term inspection is set, even though a usage decision has not been made.
      End condition: a usage decision is made.
    • WS 200072 - Usage decision is made before inspection is completed
      Start condition: a usage decision is made, even though the inspection completion for the long-term inspection is still open.
      End condition: inspection completion for the long-term inspection is set.
  • Workflows for a quality notification
    The workflows are linked to the status management function for the quality notification. Workflow templates exist for the notification header and notification tasks.
    • WS 24500047 - Process the notification
      This workflow template consists of 3 steps:
      Step 1
      Start condition: The notification is given the status 'outstanding' or 'activated'.
      Step 2
      Start condition: The notification is given the status 'outstanding task(s) exist(s)'.
      Step 3
      Start condition: The notification is given the status 'all tasks completed'.
      End condition: The notification is given the status 'completed' or 'marked for deletion'.
    • WS 200063 - Task created
      Start condition: The task has the status 'outstanding'.
      End condition: The task is given the status 'completed'.
    • WS 200064 - Person responsible changed
      Start condition: The person responsible for the notification is changed.
      End condition: The task is given the status 'completed'.
  • Workflows for defects recording
    The worklflows are linked to the status management function for the quality notification via the defect record.
    • WS 200081 - Defect record created
      Start condition: if an inspection characteristic is rejected and the defects recording function is active, a defect class is assigned to the defect; the defect class has a workflow trigger assigned to it.
      End condition: the quality notification associated with the defect record is activated or completed.
  • Workflows for the electronic transmission of a quality certificate
    • WS 20001057 Transfer of results from an IDoc to an inspection lot
      Start condition: An electronically transferred quality certificate without a reference to a purchase order is received for processing as an IDoc.
      End condition: The Workflow must be explicitly ended (this means manually)
    • WS 03100078 Automatic transfer of results from an IDoc to an inspection lot with origin 01 (goods receipt)
      Start condition: An electronically transferred quality certificate with a reference to a purchase order is received for processing as an IDoc. An inspection lot has been created for the GR document, for which a a certificate is expected (Status CERTIFICATE).
      The Workflow transfers the data from the certificate to inspection lot results table for the GR document.
      End condition: The Workflow ends automatically.

Requirements

You are familiar with the Implementation Guide for the SAP Business Workflow and you have processed the following steps in the guide:

  1. Basic settings (workflow system)
    1. Create local destination for tRFC.
    2. Maintain workflow editor administrative data.
  2. Enterprise organization
    1. Maintain plan versions and set active plan versions.
    2. Maintain prefix number.
    3. Edit organizational plan.

Activities

  1. Determine which workflow events are needed in the QM module.
  2. Carry out the task-specific Customizing steps.
    1. Select the individuals who will responsible for processing the tasks (TS* key).
    2. Activate the event links for the workflow templates (WS* key).
      Note: Only activate the event link for workflow templates, not for standard tasks! you do not need to activate the event link for standard tasks, because these are a part of the workflow templates. If you were to activate the event link for standard tasks as well as for workflow templates, you would receive 2 workitems in your inbox.
  3. Test the workflows.
