When to use Promotion Request and When to use default workflow.

Hi,

I want to take a Business Object(WTDocument) through a approval process.

The Process is simple with only three stages InWork,Review,Approved.

So Which approach to prefer...?

1.Call a promotion request on Document

2. Use a Workflow in the Object LC .

Thanks,

Avinash,

PR for at least 3 reasons:

There are objects of that type that you will probably not want to promote sometimes. So don't use workflow in the LC because then it will force the object through unnecessarily.
Multiple objects can be put on a PR, reducing the need for a PR for every single object.
The system performance benefit to point #2 above.
