Release of work objects via supplier release workflows

With the introduction of work objects, the creation and updating of suppliers is not written directly and unchecked to the master data object of the supplier, but instead is first processed using the work objects.

During vendor release, these work objects, which contain information on all data to be created or changed, are released or rejected. This is done before the data is actually transferred to the vendor’s master data object. If a work object is rejected, the master data of the vendor remains unchanged.

If a supplier release workflow is set up and the organizational setting Suppliers must be released is activated, work objects are processed according to the configured release workflows:

• For workobjects for the creation of new suppliers, release workflows of the type supplier release (creation) are used according to the defined registration type.

• For work objects for updating existing vendors, release workflows of the type Vendor release (update) are used according to the defined scope (organization or organizational unit).
