How to Create a new Object (formal process) referencing a Set

What to do:

When creating a new object in a formal process, a work request / work order to be referenced has to be created first. In a formal process it is required to further specify the work request / work order. In order to work through this example you must have created a new work request with the following data:

Field name	Value
Request Id	EWR-1550ssiocess
Purpose	Creation of Blue Ink
Type	New / Create

Open work request EWR-1550.
The Work Request mask is opened.

Select the Change Operations tab.

To change to insert mode click .
Create is automatically inserted to the Change Operation column.

Change to the Type field and click .

Select Item from the selection menu.

To save the entries click .

The creation of a new item is defined as a change operation of the work request EWR-1500.

Please note that with the change operation Create it is not possible to insert Specification to the Type field since this entry is not supported by the system!

Highlight the change operation Create and click the Specify button.
The change operation can be deleted by clicking the Undo button.

An Item mask is opened to create a new item.

In the Item Number field enter ART-1460.

In the Name field enter the name Blue Ink.

The work request EWR-1550 is set automatically in the Work Order field.

To save the entries click .

The item ART-1460-Blue Ink has been created and the change operation Add is added to the Change Operation column.

Please note that the change operation Add can only be undone if the change operation Create has been undone before.

When applying the formal process to create a new object, two change operations (Add and Create) will be displayed in the Change Operations tab. In contrast to the formal process, only one change operation (Add) will be displayed in the Change Operations tab when applying the ad-hoc process. Since in the ad-hoc process an object is directly created from the corresponding object mask there is no need to further specify the change operation (Add) of a work request in form of a second change operation (Create)!
