What's the difference between ACW and PCW?

Hi Gurus,

What's the difference between ACW (Application Controlled Workflow) and PCW (Process Controlled Workflow) ?

I read that SRM 4.0 uses ACW and SRM 7.0 uses PCW.

My current system is SRM 4.0 but I'm upgrading to SRM 7.0.

What is the difference? What are the implications of migrating from ACW to PCW?

Do I have to develop something different?

Thanks in advance

Hi Juan,

If you are in SRM previous version , then ACW (Application Controlled Workflow) is option in SRM 7.0 when you go for upgrade to SRM 7.0 and if you going for new implementation then PCW is the only option.. Of course id you planning to upgrade to SRM 7.0 and planning to use PCW with custom workflow business process.. you should have a Workflow consultant to migrate to PCW from ACW..Below is the SAP help will give more details
