How do I implement SAP MDG Rule-Based Workflow using the generic template, Customizing, and BRFplus decision tables?

SAP MDG Rule-Based Workflow uses generic workflow template WS60800086 together with Change Request Customizing and three BRFplus decision-table concepts. The recommended sequence is: blueprint the process, create the Change Request Type, define Change Request steps, maintain the Single Value, User Agent, and Nonuser Agent decision tables, then run and test the process.

SAP MDG Rule-Based Workflow is built on the generic workflow template WS60800086 and shaped by Customizing plus BRFplus decision tables. The source guide says to blueprint the Change Request process first, then create the Change Request Type, define the Change Request steps, and maintain the Single Value, User Agent, and Nonuser Agent decision tables via USMD_SSW_RULE.

Process flow

  1. Blueprint the Change Request process with steps, actions, statuses, condition aliases, and roles.
  2. Create the Change Request Type.
  3. Define the Change Request steps.
  4. Maintain DT_SINGLE_VAL_<Change Request Type>.
  5. Maintain DT_USER_AGT_GRP_<Change Request Type>.
  6. Maintain DT_NON_USER_AGT_GRP_<Change Request Type>.
  7. Use WS60800086 as the generic workflow foundation.
  8. Maintain the rule content in USMD_SSW_RULE as shown in the training source.
