Dear Ruthvik, many thanks for your clear introduction. I have a critical question, normally for the management team who approve these PRs in Fiori, do you also need PR authorization in Fiori? Thanks in advance.
Hi Ruthvik, Thanks for detail explained for Flexible workflow. Question-If we set substitutes for HOD. How I can stop email notifications to my HOD for PR PO approval for that duration. Please explain if you have any steps.
Good demo, but I have couple of queries? 1) in approval screen, why "forward" button is there to send the notification to other user if that user is already added in user list? he must have received the notification in his in box, Am I right? 2) What is the button" suspend" used for ? thanks
For example if you want to delete workflow for Purchase order you can open Manage Workflow for Purchase order and deactivate / delete from there Prerequisite is to approve the PO's first and then you can delete
Hello Rutwik, Can we configure FWF for business partner approval. How can we do that. Sap has given some configuration guide but that is very difficult to understand. Do you have any simple documents for it
Hi Ruthvik, thanks for the great video, i did all the same configurations, but ended up with a message: "Workflow Instance Not Found" I would be immensely grateful for your help on this.
Hi Mohan, Check the Binding at Event-> Workflow level. Go to workflow header (cap icon)-> Triggering events->Check bindings. Ensure that events objects are passed to the workflow
Hello Ruthvik, Hope you are doing good , I have one query after final approval of PO system still allow to change the PO, can you please guide how i can restrict the system not let allow to change the PO after Approval.
Hi Ruthvik, could you please advise how can we set the hierarchy here, for ex: if PO value is 100 - 10,000 USD, there needs to be 2 approvers and if the PO value is greater than 10,000 USD there needs to be 3 approvers
Dear ruthvik..i just followed your steps and created the flexible workflows for purchase order..but after creation of PO ..i didn't get the approval or reject fields in fiori.. could you please help me .. where i made a mistake
Hello, Thank you very much for this presentation, it's so helpful I have just one wuestion if you may, about the choice between Role based, or User Based : i sae that User based requieres HR module mandatory What about Role ?? How is it set up ?? Does it need HR too ??
Very nice & complete explanation Ruthvik. It will be very much useful in implementing flexible workflows. If I have any doubt can I call you over phone.
Hello great video. Thanks a lot for this. I have a question: what if we have two active workflows that contradict each other? E.g. for exactly the same settings we use one with automatic approval and one with fw approval. Example: Start Condition --> Document type = NB for both workflow. In step sequence we say for one workflow "Auto release of PO" and for the other one "Release of PO"
In sequence the system will trigger Workflow as per your example Auto Release if PO is in sequence 1 and other one with sequence 2 then as per 1st it will get auto approval it all depends on the sequence
@@RuthvikChowdary thanks for your reply! Now I understand. I have one more question: if the PR is released/rejected. Will the requisitioner get any notification in his inbox like the approver. For example „Your request 10002383 was rejected“
We are unable to see User Ids in Manage workflow template fiori app for one of the Workflow scenario related to Change Records. For other workflow scenario we are able to see user Ids. Please assist.
Hello Ruthvik, would like to connect on linkedin to discuss a scenario related to flexible workflow, but i'm unable to. Can you please confirm if i don't have S4 HANA HCM in project scope, can i still use the flexible workflow using assignment through roles. as through my research i have understood that user that'll be assigned the role of Workflow approver needs to be an employee business partner.
I might missed the important therefore requesting some clarification. Do we have to configure this on DEV , QAS & PRD? It is understood that initial configuration will be done at DEV but how about working on FIORI app. thanks in advance
Hi Ruthvik I have a question: Where and how should the requester upload the document in PR so that approver checks the added attachment in MY inbox in the Attachment. The Flexible Workflow is Configured for the release of PR item, not the overall release.
fpr PR we have overall and line item, while creating PR only in app or GUI we can add attachment so in my inbox while approving can verify the attachment
Hi Ruthvik, I have one doubt. We are already using release strategy scenario. If we implement flexible workflow scenario, definitely new PO's will fall under new workflow. But if there are few old documents are left in unrealsed status with release strategy tab in them, can I approve them using Me29n even if flexible workflow is activated.
Yes because those PO's are created with release strategy so those can be approved in ME29N. once you activate FWF and from that point all PO's will come to my Inbox for approval
Hello Ruthvik, we have a scenario like business requirement say At 1 level we have 5 approvers to release PO, in that case any possibility or scenario do you come across or any other solution from your end, thanks
Hi Ruthvik Chowdary, Is SAP certification must for start carrer in associate level? And how certification helps to start the career in SAP? If you give your opninion, it would be helpful to me.
After creating PO with FWF, in case I need to make some changes before getting the approval or after getting the approval what are the steps? while we have this message (Purchase order 45XXXXXXXXX is in approval. You can only display it, not edit it. )
Good video Ruthvik, but as a IT guy I still cannot believe how SAP manages to mess up every single process they try to streamline. Enable FWF config...Create HR data in PA30...create BP...error...go back to config to integrate HCM...back...error...I mean how overly complicated do these guys have to make everything?
with HR process is one way, if you feel this is a lengthy process and you cant do we have security option as well, where security roles to be created and assigned to user. Always there will be plan A and Plan B its matter of using it with capable team
Hi Ruthvik Would you explain how serial and parallel approval scenario can be maintained in flexible workflow? Eg: For a PO,initially it should go to user 1 then user 2 etc based on PO price,account assignment category used etc.
In the App Manage workflow for PO we can maintain different approvals based on business requirements we can maintain in serial which has to Triger first and so on so accordingly we can maintain our selection parameters

I have just one wuestion if you may, about the choice between Role based, or User Based : i sae that User based requieres HR module mandatory
What about Role ?? How is it set up ?? Does it need HR too ??
Very nice & complete explanation Ruthvik. It will be very much useful in implementing flexible workflows. If I have any doubt can I call you over phone.
If we go with user then HR module is required
if we go with role then security team will create a role and assign to authorized id so it will be used

Do you know how to trigger mail for verify journal entry workflow?? Tried email templates not working.. any idea?
Email Template will be working fine for Cloud for On-premises for few objects Email part need to be enhanced
good explaination.
I might missed the important therefore requesting some clarification.
Do we have to configure this on DEV , QAS & PRD? It is understood that initial configuration will be done at DEV but how about working on FIORI app.
thanks in advance
SPRO activation of FWF will be done in Dev and maintenance of approval in Fiori need to maintain in individual systems
Is required to activate this functionality of flexible workflow. As I'm not able to see under release strategy S4HANA 1610
Flexible workflow is available from 1709 version
