SAP ABAP Online Training 

SAP ABAP WORKFLOW Online Training
Did you know SAP has one of the world's most powerful workflow engines built into its
core basis system?
SAP Workflow is a set of tools used to design, develop and implement workflows in SAP
based on events that occur on various business objects. Based on an object oriented concept
of Objects (Business Objects) SAP Workflow can fully automate all Enterprise workflow
requirements.

PRACTICAL EXAMPLES DONE IN CLASS


First we learn handling Business Scenario with standard object Type for Business
Partner Creation



Business scenario handling terminating events, asynchronous method, building
relationships between different object types, Binding Matrix, suppressing possible
step outcomes with custom object type. This one example will make sure any
development in workflow you can complete easily without any trouble. This is a
complete custom application

Business Scenario with Standard Object type and delegation of subtype using
deadline monitoring
