SAP WF (Business Workflow) Hints and Tips

What is SAP Business Workflow?

SAP Workflow uses the existing transactions and functions of the R/3 System and does not change the functions. You can combine the existing functions of the R/3 System to form new business processes with SAP Business Workflow. 

The workflow system takes over control of the business processes. If you are already using SAP Organizational Management, you can use the organizational structure created there to have the relevant agents carry out the individual activities. It is possible to have an activity carried out by a position. This ensures that the respective occupiers of the position can carry out the individual activities during execution of the workflow. This means that personnel changes in your organization are taken into account immediately in the execution of a workflow.

Simple Scenario :

Workflow is a process i.e for example if you want to apply for a leave in an oganisation, you will just login and send a request for number of days.  In the back end process, i.e who should approve your leave and after approval one day from your total leaves is deducted or if you are not having leaving leaves it should go to finance dept so that loss of pay leave is given.  All this is called work flow, as a developer we will configure this workflow.
