Prerequisites

Set Up Workflow Management in Cloud Cockpit.

SAP Cloud Platform Workflow Management allows you to digitize workflows, manage decisions, gain end-to-end process visibility, and configure processes in a low-code approach.

The capital expenditure (CAPEX) process automates CAPEX request approvals in a transparent way and provides end-to-end visibility across all the steps. A workflow is triggered when the capital expenditure request is submitted by the user. This workflow internally calls business rules to determine number of approval steps based on the amount of investment and other related attributes of the request.

In this tutorial, you can import a sample package with different artifacts using Process Flexibility Cockpit. For more information, see Discover and Import Packages.

Step 1: Configure destination

WM_CF_SPACE_PROVIDER destination is used in to import live process packages from SAP API Business Hub. This destination is already created upon following the prerequisite, and now you should configure the destination with your trial password.

From your global account page, choose the trial tile to access your subaccount.
Click Connectivity | Destinations from the left-hand navigation.
Choose the edit icon for the destination with name WM_CF_SPACE_PROVIDER. In the Destination Configuration section, enter your SAP Cloud Platform trial user password and save the changes.

Ensure that the credentials of the trial user that are entered in the destination do not have Two Factor Authentication enabled.
