Hi Mandy,

I f you are looking for simple scenario,just start with a simple widget application wherein you just have to develop a simple RFC and just call it in your application.Jou can start with a simple employee search or the headcount of yr company or anything you can imagine.Its very easy just drag n drop thats it...In case of any problems do revert back.

Hi Mandy,

One simple scenario, where you can implement widgets using R/3 System could be -

To display the "Curreny List" on your desktop.

The Bapi "BAPI_CURRENCY_GETLIST" displays currencies corresponding to various locations.

You can call this Bapi in your widget and the currency list will be displayed on your desktop

(You need not go to the back end every time you want to get some country's currency

details)

SAP widgets will be much more usefull if you want to monitor some backend data which keeps

changing.

Hi John/Jaideep,

I want to develop a simple appication using Widget. could you please give a description of small scenario where i can implement use of Widgets with respect of SAP R/3 system sucessfully. Like using RFC function we can display data from R/3 systems but i am not getting suitable example. what kind of data ? mean what should be my objective, Business Process invoved ?So, i just want a simple scenario description from your side which is feasible to display data from R/3 system using Widget. like what should be my function module etc?

As a blog is given on SM37 transaction to display (job Monitor) Data from r/3 to widget desktop. Similarly i want a different good possible example to monitor data from SAP R/3 system using widget. also if tell function module name which i can make use and different required things would be more helpful.

hi mandy,

you can create widget for monitoring purpose and also for specific functionality....

Ex : you can create a widget for Absence request / Approval purpose which is related to HR module..

An employee can raise a abasence request through the widget and the manager can approve it....

also refer the below articles related to widgets whihc illustrates with small business scenarios...
