• Message class: QAM - General Message Class for Quality Issue Management

• Message number: 074

• Message text: Default navigation was executed for this workflow

What causes this issue?

The default navigation in the workflow inbox by which a transaction is
opened is not optimally suited to all workflows. For example, for the
QIM workflows the web application is generally opened directly.

System Response

For the default navigation, the system uses the method NAVIGATE of the
business object SWF_WIOBN.

How to fix this error?

If the default navigation is not suitable for the current work item,
contact your system administrator.

Procedure for System Administrators

You can implement a suitable navigation for the workflow &V1& in the
method NAVIGATE of the BAdI <DS:SIMG./IAM/BADI_WORKFLOW>
/IAM/BADI_WORKFLOW</> and thus override the default navigation.
