SAP Finance Workflow Support for Message Processing

Use

If you use this function, the system automatically forwards messages issued during an automatic commitment creation run (commitment run) to a person responsible (who can be determined individually).

Prerequisites

The IMG activities of the section Settings for Workflow must be edited in Customizing of Position Budgeting and Control.

Features

SAP delivers four areas of responsibility for which the workflow can be activated separately.

● Run administrator for commitment creation

Ensures that the commitment processor runs perfectly from the technical side. The run administrator is informed, for example, if a commitment run is terminated due to technical reasons.

● Person Responsible for Financing

Responsible for the settings required from the Human Resources Department side (such as cost distribution, planned compensation).

● Processor for Payroll

Responsible for questions in connection to payroll simulation or the transfer of payroll results.

● Person Responsible for Accounting

Deals with problems that occur in Accounting, for example if the financing requirement exceeds the existing budget or the FM account assignment is not found in the system.

Depending on the area of responsibility the error occurs, the system determines the possible processors and automatically sends them a detailed message log. For more information, see the implementation guide (IMG) ofPosition Budgeting and Control under Automatic Commitment /Budget Creation ® Settings for Automatic Commitment/Budget Creation® Settings for Individual Modules ® Error Handling ® Workflow ® Role Definition.

Activities

You can find the message log in the SAP Business Workplace under Inbox ® Workflow.
