Hi,

how about a report running as a job, which is looking if the quantity is zero. If it is zero start your created workflow by an event.

Or is the table writing change documents. In this case you could start a workflow if the specific field is zero.

Create a WF with a single email step. Add start conditions to this WF. You may need to add a virtual attribute to check the stock level and this virtual attribute has to be check in the start conditions.

Gaurav,

Instead of starting the workflow and checking the start condition. If you can find a UserExit/Badi/Ench., use that to validate the stock and if it satisfies then go ahead and start the workflow.. If it only a mail to the concerned person, you can even send a mail using function modules(SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1 or similar one) .

Thanks,

Sudhir.
