## Setting Up Workflow

This chapter provides overviews of workflow, workflow setup for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Human Capital Management, recipient and recipient rules setup, and the Process Master verification processes and discusses how to create a new workflow process.

### Understanding Workflow

JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Workflow Tools (workflow) is an electronic messaging system that automates tasks by using an email-based process flow across a network. For the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Human Capital Management system. Workflow can be integrated with these tasks:

- Changing an employee's salary using workflow.

  See Delivered Workflow for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Human Resources.

- Terminating an employee.

  See Terminating Employees.

- Updating the status of a requisition.

  See Updating the Status of a Requisition.

- Requesting a verification-of-employment letter.

  See Requesting a Verification-of-Employment Letter.

- Reviewing upcoming employee reviews by supervisor.

  See Reviewing Upcoming Employee Reviews by Supervisor.

- Setting up information for new employees in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Service Management 9.0 Implementation Guide

  See Setting Up Information for New Employees.

You can customize or deactivate certain workflow processes to meet your business needs. For example, if your company does not pay vacation accruals when an employee is terminated, and you are using workflow to terminate an employee, you can deactivate the workflow process that automatically pays employee vacation accruals.

### Understanding Workflow Setup for Human Capital Management

This section provides an overview of workflow setup for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Human Capital Management and lists prerequisites.

#### Workflow Setup for Human Capital Management

A system administrator can create new workflow processes to work with programs that are capable of using them. For example, you might want to create custom workflow processes that you can use outside of your annual benefits enrollment period, with programs that are normally included in that process. A system administrator can use the Object Manager Workbench program (P98220), a development tool that is included with the software, to copy the process for approving benefits enrollment and modify it to automate changes that happen throughout the year, such as an employee name or address change.

Before creating a new workflow process for a program, review the processing options for the program to see if an option already exists to enter an E-mail address. When a single notification message is required, self-service programs sometimes include this option.

### Understanding Recipients and Recipients Rules Setup

You use recipients and recipient rules determines message routing for certain workflow approvals and notifications. For example, you can set up workflow to notify one person or a list of people when you terminate an employee.

Recipient rules apply only to workflow processes that might require more than one person for approvals. For certain workflow tasks, you might only need to set a processing option to specify one recipient.

### Understanding the Process Master Verification Processes

A workflow process might include one or more subprocesses. For example, three subprocesses make up the workflow process for setting up new employees. The three processes are listed in the Process Master program (P98800) as EESETUP01-Employee setup approval, EESUTSK03-Get task approval, and EESUTSK01-Employee task setup.

As part of workflow setup, you should verify that each subprocess for a workflow process is activated.
