W_WB2B_0W03 - Define Business Process Steps

General Material Data   ABAP Short Reference  
This documentation is copyright by SAP AG.

You define business process steps in the TEW in this section. You can use your own business terms for the description. TEW is only a workbench; the documents are actually processed in standard system. For this reason, you must assign a document type to each TEW step. You also define the following parameters for each step:

Document Type

You assign the document type to call as the leading document.

For example, if you want to process billing documents in a step, assign the document type K: Invoice.

It is possible for several business process steps to use the same document type. For example, you can create two different steps, Goods Issue and Customer Delivery, both of which use the same document type D: Delivery.

Association/Reassociation

If you want to use association management with a business step, ensure Association is checked. This enables the association dialog box to appear in TEW. This is relevant if the TEW step involves sales documents.

If you want to adjust an associated quantity during the logistics document process, ensure the Reassociation field is checked. This flag is only relevant if the Association flag is not set, because the Association flag overrides the Reassociation flag. Setting the Reassociation flag switches on special association handling which is relevant primarily for documents in purchasing.

Logical Association Unit

This identifies the logical unit for updating the association table. This logical unit is used when deleting association records. The parameter value is defined in the node Maintain Logical Association Unit in Association Management.

Master Step

This parameter is related to the association function. It controls how the association table is updated. All association entries are written with the master step, if available.

In most processes, different steps correspond to different documents. But in some cases it is useful to have different steps for the same document. When you perform the second business step in a process, only the leading system document is changed. In this case, the WBGT entry of the leading document is updated with the new step. But this is not the case for association entries; they remain unchanged. Therefore, it is mandatory that you use the same master step for business steps, which belong to the same document. Otherwise, a mismatch could occur between step information in the association area and association entries in the WBGT extension table.

Selection by Master Step

Check this flag if you want to select documents, which belong to several steps simultaneously. This is only possible for steps that belong to the same type of leading system document. If this flag is set, then when one step is used as a preceding step in TEW, the system selects documents according to the specified master step and not the step itself.

Example

A user wants to select all delivery related documents as source documents. Assume that there are two steps with the document type "Delivery": Delivery request and Delivery completion. To do this, create a new TEW step using the same document type as the other two, but the name Delivery. Then, set the Master Step flag for the new step. Next, assign this step as a master step to the steps Delivery request and Delivery completion. As a result, when you select Delivery as a prestep in TEW, the system selects all Delivery request and Delivery completion documents as source documents.

Side

This defines the attributes of documents processed via TEW. Valid entries are:

A: Settlement Management

B: Purchasing and sales side

P: Purchasing side

S: Sales side

Z: Add-on document

Send Completion Indicator

This parameter corresponds to the final logistics indicator in the Global Trade item tab. You must assign an appropriate value in this field to display the final logistics indicator field in the document; otherwise, the field is hidden. Valid options are:

P: Send completion indicator for Purchasing

S: Send completion indicator for Sales

B: Send completion indicator for Purchasing and Sales

: Blank means you do not want to use the final logistics indicator

Assign Enhancement Class (optional)

You can use enhancement classes to fill additional fields in the source and target document data structures, which are not contained in standard system documents. The additional data is displayed in the TEW list viewer and is transferred to the action class, which performs the follow-on action.

You must already have defined possible enhancement classes in a separate Customizing activity before you maintain this setting.

Assign Filter Class (optional)

If you want to filter unnecessary documents in the source or target document list, set the filter class for the TEW step. You must already have defined possible filter classes in a separate Customizing activity before you maintain this setting.
