SAP Inforecord Workflow Help Needed

[Former Member]

Hi,

My company wants to adopt a workflow scenario for info records; such as if info record is newly created it must be approved before itu2019s in use or if info record is already created and there is a change of any fields it must also be approved by management. Do you know if there is any standard way to do this, or could you please give me idea how to achieve this?

Best regards,

Melih

Hi Melih,

I am not aware of any Standard WF to do this but you can Create a Custom WF for this..!!

You can try this approach:- Its Simple:-)

Go to SWELS/SWE4 - Switch on the Event Trace

Create/Change your Info Records.

Go to SWEL and check which BO has been triggered corresponding to that INFO RECORD along with the BO Event

Now you have got the Bo to trigger WF and now you can create your own WF..!!

Hi Melih,

Find out the Business Object associated with info record.

Check if the BO had an event for creation / change of info record.

You can use this BO event as the triggering event for the workflow. Also, if no BO is found, you can manually trigger the workflow using BADI implementation on creation / change of info record.

Please check if the following links for assistance on workflows:

Hi,

Check is there any event triggering for creating info record.

Then you can create a workflow for it.
