workflow to trigger on change of Org unit or Position details in PPOM

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I need to send a notification on any changes made in Org unit or Profile in PPOM Transaction. We can get to know the changes made if any by executing the std report RHCDOC_DISPLAY. Can anybody let me know how to proceed further.

Couple ideas ...

1, check the SAP Help for Org management to see if there are any delivered workflow scenarios. Try various searches if it's not easily found in the Help contents.

2. the hard way:

a. First you want to see if any events are raised when the relevant changes are saved. You can do this by activating the workflow event trace - transaction SWELS; then perform the change and save it; then check the event trace in SWEL.

b. Since there's an infotype involved you may be able to configure transactions SWEHR1 / SWEHR2 / SWEHR3 to raise the event.

c. If you don't have an event and can't find a configuation that activates events for the relevant changes, then you may need a workflow developer to create an enhancement to the transaction that raises an event. (I think step b. should work for org objects, though, so you shouldn't have to resort to c.)

Once you have an event raised you can use the event to trigger a workflow that sends the notification and/or work items you need.

Alternatively, is this really a workflow scenario? If you are only notifying people of changes that they need to know about, you could just run the report as a batch job and send the results, right? (How soon does the person need to know, and do they need to take any action?)

Hope this helps!
