https://blogs.sap.com/2019/12/26/flexible-workflow-steps/ 2/45
Note:- TR will be generated when we activate Flexible work�ow in IMG and
remaining are non-TR based. System wise we can maintain.
3.       Only one Release strategy can be used at a time either classic or Flexible
Work�ow
4.       Need to Activate Flexible Work�ow
5.       FWF is maintained in Fiori “Manage Work�ows for Purchase Order”
FWF- Flexible Work�ow
Refer SAP S/4HANA Flexible Work�ow Overview and Comparison with SAP
Business Work�ow by Alan Rickayzen
Now let’s see �rst how to activate FWF
1.       Go to IMG → Materials Management → Purchasing → Purchase Order →
Release Procedure for Purchase Orders → Activate Flexible Work�ow for
Purchase Orders
2.       Activate which document type you want to have FWF
–         It’s based on document type for ex:- NB we can have FWF and UB we can
have Classic Work�ow

https://blogs.sap.com/2019/12/26/flexible-workflow-steps/ 3/45
3.       Once done save. Transport request will be generated
4.       Now open “Manage Work�ows for Purchase order” App
5.       Choose add
6.       Give Work�ow name and description for understanding purpose
Even we can set timelines for PO release status
7.       Go to start conditions tab
6/21/23, 10:50 PM Flexible Workflow Steps | SAP Blogs
https://blogs.sap.com/2019/12/26/flexible-workflow-steps/ 4/45
As per business requirement, we can select the precondition to start the
work�ow
Only if the condition met then only created PO will be coming to work�ow or else
it will be released automatically
We can have more conditions as per business requirements.
8.       Go to step sequence and choose add to maintain more conditions like a
responsible person, PO values etc.
9.       By default, Step type will be set to Automatic release of PO drop down and
change to release of PO
6/21/23, 10:50 PM Flexible Workflow Steps | SAP Blogs
https://blogs.sap.com/2019/12/26/flexible-workflow-steps/ 5/45
10.  Go to Recipient and select Role / User as per business
–         User means we can select speci�c user-id
–         Role means, that role has to be assigned to responsible person user-id
Note in order to have responsible persons User ID’s and there Names to be
displayed in users list means we need to create Employee and assign to Business
partner refer to https://blogs.sap.com/2019/07/17/employee-as-a-business-
partner-and-synchronization-with-hr-data/
Select a responsible person from the user’s list
If you selected multiple users for release, we have an option like one of the
recipient approval is enough or all approvals is required, we can select as per
requirement
11.  Go to step condition to add conditions like Currency, PO value, Material group,
Company Code etc,
https://blogs.sap.com/2019/07/17/employee-as-a-business-partner-and-synchronization-with-hr-data/
6/21/23, 10:50 PM Flexible Workflow Steps | SAP Blogs
https://blogs.sap.com/2019/12/26/flexible-workflow-steps/ 6/45
If wanted we can keep or else leave blank as we already maintain precondition in
the initial stage.
12.  Once done click on add
13.  And then save
14.  And then activate
Once it’s activated we can’t edit only deactivate or delete
With this, we completed all the required steps
Now, let’s check we maintained all correctly or not.
Will create PO
6/21/23, 10:50 PM Flexible Workflow Steps | SAP Blogs
https://blogs.sap.com/2019/12/26/flexible-workflow-steps/ 7/45
During Work�ow creation we maintained 2 conditions
–         Document type = NB
–         PO Value greater than 20 USD
Both conditions our PO ful�l’s
PO created
Now if I open PO in change mode will get below information
6/21/23, 10:50 PM Flexible Workflow Steps | SAP Blogs
https://blogs.sap.com/2019/12/26/flexible-workflow-steps/ 8/45
It triggered FWF.
Now let’s Approve / release PO
Open My Inbox App.
As one PO is in my bucket for approval on tile only we can see noti�cations ?
We have the following options
–         Approve
–         Reject
–         Show log
–         Claim (initiate process)
–         Forward
6/21/23, 10:50 PM Flexible Workflow Steps | SAP Blogs
https://blogs.sap.com/2019/12/26/flexible-workflow-steps/ 9/45
If you feel it must be approved by someone else, not by you, we can do it.
–         Suspend (Hold)
Now let’s Approve PO
6/21/23, 10:50 PM Flexible Workflow Steps | SAP Blogs
https://blogs.sap.com/2019/12/26/flexible-workflow-steps/ 10/45
It’s done
If you are going on vacation like how we keep out of o�ce mail with backup
contact person ? same, we can do hear as well
In my inbox app click me area and select manage my substitutes
By selecting planned leave or unplanned leave ? Click add new substitute
6/21/23, 10:50 PM Flexible Workflow Steps | SAP Blogs
https://blogs.sap.com/2019/12/26/flexible-workflow-steps/ 11/45
By selecting from date and to date
Save
6/21/23, 10:50 PM Flexible Workflow Steps | SAP Blogs
https://blogs.sap.com/2019/12/26/flexible-workflow-steps/ 12/45
Now whatever PO is create and triggered to FWF it will go to my substitute
If you want to see all the list of POs’ that you approved so far there is an app for
that as well
My Outbox
Note:- all above content doesn’t have sensitive info so don’t waste your time for
reporting
If the same My Inbox App is con�gured in mobile means, see the beauty of SAP

Hello Ruthvik,
Could you let me know, if this functionality is available in on-premise version (perhaps 1909) as well.
P.S: We are currently on 1610 SPS 0 and would be upgrading to 1909 in couple months.
Thanks,

Hi Ruthvik,
Thanks for the informative blog. I'd like to understand more about the step conditions and how do they
work. Are they di�erent from the Pre-conditions we add on the 1st screen?

Hi Mithun Kumar
Thank you

A precondition is used to initiate the work�ow
Step condition is used to determine which document will get for approval process

Mithun Kumar
April 6, 2020 at 10:08 am
Thanks Ruthvik Chowdary
During a custom development and extensive debugging, I realized a major di�erence
between how the Pre-conditions and step conditions are evaluated.
During evaluation of a step condition, the code doesn’t get the work�ow’s or the
workItem’s container at all. So as I was trying to check a “container variable = my
condition parameter” condition, it always failed, even when the container has the correct
value for that variable. Due to this my step was always 'Skipped'.
However, if the same condition is used as a pre-condition, this evaluation was successful,
as the container is being read properly.
Have you noticed the same? Or am I doing something wrong here?

Ruthvik Chowdary | Blog Post Author

Mithun Kumar
 I am not that knowledgeable in Technical stu� I'm functional
How every Precondition is the starting step for logic if the condition is matched
then only it enters into work�ow 2nd condition step condition
First of all, Precondition should match then only Work�ow will initiate

Hi Rithvik,
 
Thanks for sharing!
I have a question regarding information provided on the approve/reject message.. Up to 1909 version,does
it exist any standard setting to provide additional information or the only way is a customisation?
 
Thanks in advance,

standard price or last PO price or PO vendor

HI Rithvik,
Thanks for the document…
These conditions are standard? Cant we add any more Pre conditions..
And Existing Con�guration like Release groups, Release codes etc., are not required right?
Thanks,

Hi Paul, did you �nd a solution? I am looking for it too! Thanks Heiko

Hi Volkmer,
 
yes. As of 1909 OP you can implement your own preconditions using
custom BaDIs BADI SWF_WORKFLOW_CONDITION_DEF and BADI
SWF_WORKFLOW_CONDITION_EVAL

Hi Ruthvik,
Nice Documentation and This helped me during my On-Prem Implementation.
 
Related to the Approval process in Fiori - Do you have idea on the below;
1. As you know, Approve/Reject comments will be updated back in SAP GUI. What about Attachments ?
Any Mechanism to bring back attachments to SAP GUI
2. Manage Substitutes - Any Pre-requisite setup required in HCM . I tried Maintaining Leaves for the
Approver in PA30 - but couldn't setup any Substitutes for the same Approver
Thanks.

"work�ow instance not found". Can you please suggest.
Thanks!!

Hi Ruthvik,
Thank you for sharing the knowledge on the Flexible Work�ow. Was wondering if you could con�gure the
below scenario in Flexible Work�ow.
Requirement:
I create a Purchase Requisition for 1000$ and it should go to Approver-1 for �rst-level approval and then to
Approver-2 for second level approval and then be completely approved. If Approver-1 or Approver-2 rejects
the PR, then it must come to me so that I can correct it, and resubmit.
 
In the Exception Handling of the Manage Work�ow app, we have set ‘Restart Work�ow’.
In the system now, when the Approver-2 rejects the PR, the system is sending the PR back to Approver-1!
Regards,

Yateesh,
I don't think you should set anything in the Exception handling, for your requirement. The system is
behaving correctly as per your setting.
|
Yateesh Hoblidar
November 3, 2020 at 1:50 pm
Hi Mithun,
I attempted your suggestion, but not setting an exception handling is not an option. 'Do
Nothing - Cancel Work�ow' is the default, and we cannot remove it (only change it to
something else)!
Yateesh
|
Mithun Kumar
November 3, 2020 at 1:56 pm
Yes, "Do Nothing" is the option that'd work for you. Cancel work�ow is a separate
option that you don't want to set.
|
Yateesh Hoblidar
November 3, 2020 at 2:02 pm
Hi Mithun,
'Do Nothing' is the only option for the activity, 'Cancel Work�ow' is one of
the 4 options for the action. We need to select one of those 4.
|
Mithun Kumar
November 4, 2020 at 5:05 am
Ah yes, My mistake. I meant the Cancel Work�ow is the option that’d work
for you. Since you need the PR to come back to the creator for
modi�cation, upon rejection, the WF instance is not required at that point,
and should be cancelled.

Once the you make modi�cations and save the PR again, a new instance
of WF is triggered from the beginning.
Here's how all the work�ows at our customer is set up:

Hi Mithun,
Upon Rejection the requisition goes to the 'Held' status and cannot be
edited. One can only copy that PR and recreate a new one with the
requested changes. SAP Note - 2919925

Hello Ruthvik Chowdary,
 
Thank you for your great instruction.
 
I have a question regarding the "Withdraw from approval" function. This function is available in the Fiori in
order to "pause" the work�ow and edit the PO again. But we cannot �nd this function in the SAP GUI (t-
code ME23N).
 
Do you know, if this function is also available in the SAP GUI and not only in Fiori?
 
Many thanks in advance.
 
Best regards,
Birgit

Hi Ritwik,
Very well explained document as well as the demo. Few query regarding the FWF
1.  I would like to know whether we can set the approval sequence like the purchase Manager should
release �rst and then the Finance Manager.
2. Is it possible to track who approved or rejected the purchase order?
|
Ruthvik Chowdary | Blog Post Author
March 19, 2021 at 11:38 am
Yes for both
1. the order you assign user id will be the sequence of approval
2. in PO there will be a tab called FWF in that we can check

Hi Ruthvik,
very nice explanation for technical rookies like me.
 
My question is the following:
Can I use �exible work�ows for condition contracts? Where can i activate and setting it up?
As an example:
A  Condition Contract is created by a user and after saving a message should appear in managers inbox to
reject or accept.
 
Thank you for your time!

Hi all,
I am facing a strange problem at one of PR Flexi WFL, which i cannot reproduce.
S4 release 1909, PR �exible WFL on item level ... the problem is that randomly like in the last 3 months
around 4 PR's got fully approved ( work�ow completed ) but the PR processing status was not updated - is
still "In Release" instead of "Release completed", no errors in WFL, no dumps nothing. What can be the root
cause ? did anyone experienced something similar ? any hints what should i check ?
Thanks!

after adding a suited user role to SAP_WFRT.

Thank you for sharing your comments.
Yes, we can use both FWF & Classic but it can be used as Document type only NB can be FWF STO
Document can be Classic but not both.
Purpose type only determines whether it has to send to approval or approve it automatically

Hi Ruthvik Chowdary
Could you please state your question in more detail?
You maintain the work�ow settings via corresponding �ori app on the D system
and then transport (work�ow by work�ow) to Q and P system.
Best regards
Tom

hi Ruthvik,
Thank you for the blog.
I created a �exible work�ow for a Stock transfer order(STO) but work�ow is not getting triggered.
When I check the log for the events triggered after creating a PO, it is not triggering the class based event.
Can you please help where we need to check the setting.

Hi Prasanth Kasturi
you can go to PO and check the �exible work �ow tab to see the log of that STO PO you can
understand why its not triggered

Hello Ruthvik and Team,
We have con�gured Flexible work�ow on document type level no other speci�c conditions. Post PO
creation , it's states work�ow skipped and there is auto email stating PO approved to outlook from an email
id to user who created the PO but the sender email id is not at all linked to the PO BP Master or User pro�le
SU01. On further checking the sender email id is totally a di�erent BP Master and has no linkage like
partner function or all to the BP for which PO is created.
Please let me know if you forsee where else we can check on this....and if any further details needed on the
issue faced.
 
Regards,
Ashish Gaurav

if we add multiple user in step 10 as explained by you which user will get WF 1st how we are going to control
over that?
And if we are using Net value as step criteria and PO is created in other currency will it be auto converted in
currency set in manage work�ow step and PO Release strategy will trigger accordingly or we have to set
condition of each currency separately.
There seems all condition as And is there option to enter or conditon there?
