Tasks to be completed when documenting an SAP Transaction, Report or Message code.

1. Title of the page = SAP Transaction code, SAP Report or SAP Message

2. Add the following Labels, respectively:

    • SAP Transaction => "sap_transaction", Transaction code "xxxx"

    • SAP Report => "sap_report"

    • SAP Message => "sap_msg"

3. On the left section, describe the steps. On the right section, insert respective print screens and additional guidelines, if needed (e.g. Main selections of the transaction...)


STEP 1

On business workplace (transaction SBWP), the following alternatives will appear:

Use transaction code: 


SCMA - Workflows: Initial Screen

A flow definition consists of individual flow steps. These steps might include validation workflows (in case of VWF) and/or a sequence of programs (having a variant predefined).

By releasing a Flow Definition SAP System will:

1) Interact with a Distribution List by e-mail (in case of Validation WFs – e.g. below);

On business workplace (transaction SBWP), the following alternatives will appear:


AlternativesDescription
Start Next TaskThe workflow will be released and the workflow will continue run.
Cancel Whole ProcedureIt will stop the workflow.
Cancel and keep work item in inboxIt will cancel only the line that is requesting in the question, however the rest of the workflow will keep continuing.


2) Interact with the user which releases the EWF (in case of error in a program’s sequence) by express work items boxes (e.g. below for FR Partial Capitalization).


As behind a Program there is a Job creation, the operator needs to verify the outcome of the Program run in the monitoring option in SCMA or in SM37. After analyzing the errors and correct them, the operator must request the user which had Scheduled and Released the SAP SM in order to enter in the SBWP inbox and validate the task (Inbox button – outcome below) in order to update the status accordingly.

Note

In case of a canceled job, the system takes around 30m to send a message to the user and only in SM37 you will be able to check the problem.


AlternativesDescription
Continue flow with the next taskIt will start to do the next task.
Reschedule jobIt will go back to the tasks that gives the error message.
Cancel and keep work item in inbox

It will cancel only the line that is requesting in the question, however the rest of the workflow will keep continuing.

In both cases SAP Business Workplace (transaction SBWP or icon  available in SAP Main screen Access) is the basis for this interaction.




STEP 2

Request IS the creation of a workflow

The creation of workflows can only be done by IS .

There are two types of workflows:

  • Validation: a validation is given to start a certain task (by e-mail):

    A Freshdesk must be sent to IS with the following information:

    • Description Name of the workflow.

    • Distribution list (names of the people that should receive the e-mail).

  • Execution: SAP will automatically launch a task or group of tasks.

    A Freshdesk must be sent to IS with the following information:

    • Description Name of the workflow.

    • List of the programs (+ variants) and/or Validation WFs needed.
