Local Workflow in Sap Workflow

This document explains how to create and test a local workflow in Transaction SWDD. Key steps include: 1) Creating a new workflow definition and defining a local event. 2) Adding steps to trigger the local event, run the local workflow, and send an email. 3) Activating and testing the workflow, which may require adding a user decision step to ensure the main workflow waits for the local workflow to complete.

Understanding "Local Workflow"

In this tutorial, we would explain creating and working with a local workflow. Go to Transaction SWDD. Create a new workflow definition.

Go to Basic data (hat symbol) as shown in above screenshot.

Fill-in the Abbreviation and Description and click on the tab Version-Dependent (Current Workflow Version).

Enter a name for a local event.

Go back to the main screen and create a new step.

Select the step Event Creator. Provide the Step Name and Outcome Name. Also select Trigger Local Event in the Event Creator.

Enter the name of the event we defined earlier.

Go back to the main screen and create a new step (See the screenshot below)

Select the step Local Workflow

In the screen shown below, enter the step name and also event name we created earlier.

Go back to the main screen. In the local workflow definition, right click and click on Create.

Create a new step Mail.

Go back to the main screen. The workflow definition would look as follows:

Activate your workflow and test your workflow definition. You might not be able to find the email in your SAP inbox. Follow is the screenshot from the workflow log.

When the main workflow is ended, the local workflow would automatically end with a status Logically deleted. The workflow would continue further after the step Event creator without waiting for the local workflow to complete. So let us create a step User Decision after the step Event Creator in the workflow definition.

Activate and test run your workflow definition. You would now observe an email and also work item regarding the user decision step in your SAP Inbox (see the screenshot below)
