In this IMG activity, you set up both the repeated and initial settings for the release workflow that need to be executed in the correct order.

Requirements

  1. Basis Workflow

You have to make various settings in the Basis area of the system to enable you to run and administer the workflow (IMG path: SAP NetWeaver -> SAP Web Application Server -> Business Management -> SAP Business Workflow).
For more information, see the IMG activity documentation on maintaining the standard settings for the SAP Business Workflow.

  1. Customer-Specific Adjustments to the Workflow

If you do not intend to make changes of your own, you can use the standard workflow template and standard role delivered with the SAP System. The standard role controls how users are determined for release decisions.

You can adjust the standard workflow template or standard role to suit your requirements. To do this, you have to use a special procedure. Note, however, that you are not modifying the standard template, but deviating from the SAP Standard. You should therefore discuss any changes you want to make with SAP beforehand.

Activities

   

Maintain Responsibilities for Agent Assignment

  1. Execute the IMG activity. A dialog box appears.

    Procedure:

    1. Create the required responsibilities/roles using the 'Create responsibility ' function. You can use the editing period to limit the period for which the responsibilities are valid. By selecting the responsibility you have created and the 'Change responsibility' function, you can define its technical validity according to the criteria below. These criteria are used to determine the agents when the workflow is running.

  • Release object (category), such as 'AUSZ' for disbursement
  • Steps completed (number of releases so far), for example. '0' to '3'
  • Company code
  • Other steps (number of releases still to be made), for example '1' to '4'
  • Product type
  • Release initiator (workflow initiator or user who created (changed) workflow)
  • Competence amount
  • Currency

In the case of alphanumeric parameters, you can enter replacement symbols, for example '*'.
Using the 'New row' (F5) function, you can make multiple entries for one criterion, which are linked to each other by a logical OR operation.
If no responsibility is found for the runtime because none of the criteria specified for the responsibilities entered corresponds to the parameters of the runtime object, the agent assignment is unsuccessful. In such a case, the task is assigned to all agents in the current system, provided that the task has been defined as a general task.
  1. Now define the agent assignment. Select the responsibility created and choose the 'Insert agent assignment' function. You can assign various organizational objects, for example, the user directly, or if the organizational management is maintained, a work center, a job, an organizational unit, a person or a position.

  1. When you have maintained all the responsibilities with the respective assignments, exit the screen to return to the dialog screen.

Administrative Responsibility for Incorrect Agent Assignment

Using this activity you can create one or more areas of responsibility that are used for release decisions in cases where the agent assignment for standard roles is incorrect.

Execute the activity. A dialog screen appears.

Procedure:

Make the required settings as in the activity 'Maintain Responsibilities for Agent Assignment'.

Define General Processor Assignment for Tasks

To enable the workflow task 'Release decision by user' to also be assigned to the agents from the agent assignment function, this task must be defined as a general task. You may still need to make this setting, or at least check it.

You need to follow this step once before the workflow is activated.

Execute the activity. A dialog screen appears.

Procedure:

  1. Choose 'Assign Processors to Tasks'.
  2. Make the following steps for each of the three tasks in the Loans Release Workflow:
    3. Place the cursor on the respective task and choose 'Attributes...'.
    On the screen that appears, select the field 'General Task' and confirm by choosing 'Transfer'.
  3. Choose 'Back' to return to the dialog screen. .

    4. Activate Event Linkage

    Since this workflow is triggered by an event, event linkage must be activated for the workflow you are using.

    This step needs to be carried out once after all of the other settings have been made.

    Execute the activity. A dialog screen appears.

    Procedure:

  4. Execute the activity 'Activate Event Linkage'.
  5. Expand the task 'Loans: Release Workflow' (WS 20000263.)
  6. Place the cursor on the event 'Release Loan TR LO Release Start'
  7. Choose the 'Activate/Deactivate' function (F8) so that the event is 'activated'.
  8. Leave the screen by choosing 'Back'.
