Context:

As we already know SAP came up with new predefined  Flexible workflow template in  S4Hana which is completely different from normal ECC workflow.  From Flexible Workflow customer  can directly assign  work dynamically based on  condition to different layer of persons or do different activity.  Customer will get  high benefit using Flexible Workflow in terms of  save Time for determination of approver  and also in terms of automation of their business  process or easily assign work overload to others  .

 

Development:

In this blog I am showing the simple  custom demonstration which will block Sales order after  change without any  printing.

 

There have a custom flexible  workflow developed .



 

But to developed a Flexible workflow lots of  custom objects need to developed including cross client objects. Snapshots of some objects summary showing below.

 



 

Configuration:

 

Now Configure the flexible workflow like below.  Agent will  be determine based on Badi.

 



 

In the Badi,  users  are populated   for approval.

 

 



 

Business Process:

NOW start the Sales order change or create process.



 

 

Now Approver will get their  workitem in their  Fiori inbox for approval or rejection.



 

 

After approval it is visible that,  Delivery Block set for No Printing.  You have done .



 

 

Conclusion:

Though in this document simple process shown, but the developments need lots of efforts including cross system development. Though SAP might come up with new Flexible workflow scenario every  new  release.    Customer can easily configure it as per their requirement to feel the power of dynamic automation .  So it is always  desirable to use standard scenario  .
