Hi,
Our organization is looking to implement Peoplesoft for HR and SAP ERP for other business processes. Business users would ues UWL for their approval tasks. The SAP Business workflow or SAP NW BPM would be the tool for the approval process. Question: is there best practice for this scenario? I.e. the business process is designed and implemented via SAP ERP or SAP NW BPM and the HR maintains the organizational structure in Peoplesoft (or a non-SAP ERP) environment.
To my knowledge, the following options are available for SAP Business Workflow for agent determination (approval process):
1. Implement a realtime design (e.g. RFC) to connect to the non-SAP ERP: the non-SAP ERP would implement agent determination rules that can be called by SAP, since the Org. structure is maintained in that environment
2. Share the Org. structure and HR data with SAP: not preferred option, I guess, due to sync problems (not realtime)
Your input is much appreciated.
Thanks.
