The SERKEM solution in detail

The Post Processing Framework (PPF) is a component of the SAP Web Application Server and provides a unified interface for generating various actions. With the help of tools, actions can be scheduled, initiated, and monitored.

Actions, such as printing delivery notes, faxing order confirmations, or triggering approval processes, are generated when specific, predefined conditions are met. The processing can then take place immediately, at a later time, automatically, or through user interaction.

Processing types

The PPF provides processing types that can be used to perform various actions:

  • Print, fax and send e-mails with SmartForms or Adobe PDF
  • Start a workflow
  • Start a business add-in
  • Communication with other systems (e.g. SAP ERP, GTS)

The processing types can also be replaced by your own processing types or adapted to special requirements.

The PPF also provides tools with which the actions can be managed in the form of an action overview with status display, determination and processing logs.

Components

An action profile brackets several actions that are often used together.

The action definition describes the content of an action, its processing time, unauthorized processing times, finding technique, action consolidation and processing types, etc.

The action determination is used to check whether the PPF action is scheduled or not.

If there are several PPF actions, the action merging can be used to control how to deal with them.

Actions that are planned for an application document by action determination are added to an action list.

The work list contains PPF actions that can be scheduled manually.

Type of processing that is carried out at runtime, such as method call or external communication etc.

Post processing framework actions in SAP EWM make it easier to handle if tasks or actions are to be controlled automatically due to certain conditions in the company. If you have any questions or want to set up PPF actions, we will be pleased to help you.
