SAP Business Workflow can be used to define business processes
that are not yet mapped in the R/3 System. These may be simple release
or approval procedures, or more complex business processes such as creating
a material master and the associated coordination of the departments involved.
SAP Business Workflow is particularly suitable for situations in which work
processes have to be run through repeatedly, or situations in which the business
process requires the involvement of a large number of agents in a specific sequence.
SAP provides several workflows that map predefined business processes.It also provides
all the tools needed to develop and implement a custom workflow solution. SAP
Business Workflow uses the existing transactions and functions of the R/3 System
and does not change the functions. This enables us to implement additional
functionality not currently available in the system.
SAP Workflow integrates seamlessly with the Web and HCM Forms and Processes.
In combination with HCM forms and processes, it allows the companies to design
custom adobe forms for simple functions like leave applications, request for
transfer etc and integrate them with the approval and update processes using the SAP Business workflow.
