In this tutorial we will try understand what are different types of task in SAP Workflow.
Basically there are two categories of task
- Single-step Task
- Multistep Task
Types of Tasks are
Task Type | Task Category | Prefix | Cross Client | Client Specific | Validity period |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Standard Task | Single Step | TS | X | No/Unrestricted validity period | |
Customer Task | Single Step | T | X | Validity period exists | |
Workflow Template | Multi-Step | WS | X | No/Unrestricted validity period | |
Workflow Task | Multi-Step | WF | X | Validity period exists |
Task Groups : We create Task Group to collect tasks or simply a repository of tasks.
Within SAP Workflow we create only cross client, single-step task (Standard Task) and multistep task(Workflow Templates).
Definition of a Task : Task is an activity that can execute independently or within in workflow.Activity can be SAP system transaction code like ME54N,QM02 etc.. and this activity is performed by the users/agents. The agents for a particular task can be determined using rules.
Transaction code related to Tasks are PFTC, PFTC_INS, PFTC_DIS, PFTC_CHG and PFTC_DEL.
