Purchase Requisition Workflow
A SAP system based approval which notifies business users to login to SAP and approve a particular
document or a part of it.
Purchase Requisition Release and Approval Workflow – 2 Level.
Standard Workflow Name PR Release – WS00000038
Customised PO Workflow Name – WS99400005
Object Type – BUS2009
Delegated Object Type – ZBUS2009
Custom Method Created for Delegated Object – ZPR_MTHD_BUS2009
Activity Created – Task to fetch Agent Mail ID
TCode Involved – ME51b to create / ME54b To release.
Step by step process to create workflow:-
1. Copy standard workflow – T Code to copy workflow PFTC
Name the copied workflow.
https://copycodesap.wordpress.com/2016/06/27/purchase-requisition-workflow/ 1/23
2. Once Copied Open the workflow in workflow Builder – T Code SWDD
Remove the unwanted activity and keep which ever you want.
3. Make Sure the start event is active (green).
When you click the binding you find the below screen.
4. Create a activity to fetch the agent mail ID.
Now if you double click the task it goes to the screen “Basic data” and you give the Object type and
the method.
Lets see how to find the object type and create linkage first then shall comeback to the activity.
How to find the Object type. I.e in this case BUS2012
First method – Go to tcode SWO2
You can find the Object type BUS2012.
The other method to find the object type.
Go to Tcode BAPI
Click the business object builder.
You can find the Object type BUS2012.
The third option would be to run SWELS/SWEL TCode. Execute the purchase order Tcode and find
in the SWEL about which Object type is triggered.
Since we have got the object type through the above mentioned approach now we are now going to
create the linkage by replacing the standard linkage. Go to TCode SWE2 and find the Object type
BUS2012.
Copy the standard BUS2012 and place the newly created workflow (WS99400002) in the receiver type
and mark the linkage. Now the linkage is created.
Event Name is RELEASESTEPCREATED
Now delegate the Object Type so that you can change/add methods in the standard Object type.
Choose Purchase Order.
After delegation, you can create/add a new method for your requirement in the object type
ZBUS2012.
The created method here is ZPO_MTHD_BUS2012.
How to create method –
Click create method and fill the below details.
Once the method name is created, release the method.
Next, click on the parameters. On the list shown on top.
Below screenshots show how the parameter is created.
Go back to the previous page and click program. Below is the program.

Really useful guide, thank you!
I’m doing something similar to this, for release of contract (BUS2014), everything works fine for 1
level release but for releases with more than 1 level the WF is only triggered for the first level, I
executed a trace and I can see that the event RELEASESTEPCREATED is trigger just once, is there
any customization or something I can check that could be causing the problem? any suggestion?

Not sure if you have fixed the issue or not. If not then would you mind to elaborate the issue
for my understanding.
Thanks & Regards,
