How To Bypass WF Instance ID Generation

There might be cases where customers would not want to have the auto-versioning feature of the alternate workflow. This is the how-to guide on how we can deactivate the generation of WF Instance Number from backend.

1. Create Implicit Enhancement at the end of the FM /IQX/FAB_CREATE_WORKFLOW.

2. Implement the below ABAP logic:

  DATA: lv_changed TYPE xflag.

  CASE ls_fab_wf-zform_name.
    WHEN 'A-PARTICULAR-FORM-NAME'.
      "OVERRIDE MD5_CHECKSUM WITH THE ZFFORM_NAME
      "TO BE USED AS WF_INSTANCE
      lv_changed = abap_true.
      ls_fab_wf-md5_checksum = ls_fab_wf-zform_name.
  ENDCASE.

  IF lv_changed = abap_true.
    MODIFY /iqx/fab_wf FROM ls_fab_wf.
  ENDIF.

NOTE: In DEV environment, the enhancement could be placed in the $TMP packages to streamline the development tasks.
