Hi Everyone,

I need your advise/help. I need to create a simple web application to do as below:

1) Enter / Edit / Delete data on web

2) Save the data in BW cube

3) E-mail to Managers for approvals

4) Click a button to approve

5) Show web reports

Which tool is best fit for this request, VC or WAD?

Thanks alot, Jin Freda

hi

I think VC is a good option for your requirement and for approvals you can use CAF .

BW system should be used for Data Archival and not Data Entry.

My recommendation for your requirements will be

1. Use VC for data entry and to trigger approval workflows

2. Store the data in some DB or Z tables in ERP system.

3. Configure Business Workflows

4. Configure UWL for users to act on Workflow items

5. Archive data stored in DB or Z tables in to BW

Hi Jin,

I think all your requirements except 2, can be achieved in VC.

Regarding 2, I am not sure.

WAD is used to develop BI reports based on BI query.

Its possible to use BI queries directly in VC and create reports as your wish.
