Finance Workflow : How it works Flexible approach: Number of steps can vary depending on the workflow attributes Two to Five approvers. If only one approver is needed, the workflow can skip the intermediate steps The workflow is based on several attributes: Document type Routing Location Business area Fund Fund center Commitment item Amount Validity 11
Finance Workflow : How it works For Finance Workflow to function, SAP maintains two tables in the background Group Determination table (GDT) This table should maintained centrally like configuration Agent Determination table (ADT) A tool will assist to easily maintain, create users in this table. This tool will be integrated with user provisioning in a second phase This table can be maintained locally. 12
Finance Workflow : How it works A document is always sent to the inbox of the group of agents created in the role. Once an agent has selected the document, this document will disappear from the inbox of the other agents (If an agent opened the document which is not meant for him/her, it must be closed and replaced back in workflow) Each user can define several substitutes (OICs). The list of items sent to the agent will be available in the inbox of the substitutes 13

SRM Workflow - Features SRM documents can be routed to more than one approver The creator and the approvers of the SRM document can add adhoc approvers Funds Pre-Commitment for shopping carts / Funds Commitment for POs is updated only after the document is completed approved SRM document that is in the approval process can be changed by the Requisitioner / buyer. If it is changed, the document would be removed from the Inbox of the approvers and will be rerouted into Approval Workflow 28
SRM Workflow - Features Possible to maintain substitutes if an approver is on leave during a particular period. Workflow administrators can assign the documents from one approver to another if required. The SRM system sends the tasks for approvers to the Worklist of the SAP SRM Portal as well as the email inbox of the approvers. The document initiator will also receive an email notification when the document is approved or rejected 29

Real Estate Workflow Features (Lease Contract Approval) Approval of RE lease contracts are for operational purposes only. This means that negotiations take place outside of the system before lease contract is created in SAP. Once lease-out (external, internal, sales-based) contracts are approved, they are active for financial postings and invoicing. The processor and approver for each lease contract are assigned to the lease contract at the time when the lease contract is recorded in SAP. Workflow is triggered when status of the lease contract is changed by the Lease Processor to requested 33
Real Estate Workflow Features (Lease Contract Approval) Real Estate Lease Contracts can only be routed to one approver It would be possible to maintain substitutes if an approver is on leave during a particular period by editing the lease contract and adding the substitutes relevant information. Notification to the lease approver via email, as well as SAP inbox. The lease processor notified when the approver approves or rejects the lease contract. 34
