Has somebody already done this and can share knowledge?

Hi

You can develop elaborate WD applications which make use of SAP Workflows. There is a rich API in form of RFC enabled function modules which can be consumed as RFC models in WD applications. There are function modules to start a workflow, read a workflow container, write to a workflow container, complete a workitem, forward a workitem and so on. Go to transaction SE37 to browse these. Search function modules with names starting with SAP_WAPI*.

To further this, you can actually define visualization parameters for Workflow Tasks to call WD applications to process the workitems corresponding to the workflow tasks. See transaction SWFVISU.

Hi Thomas,

Yes it is possible, you only need to know the RFC's that create the items in SAP system, then you create Adaptve RFC model in your web dynpro app, for execute those RFC's.
