Contract Workflow

Hi,
I have a requirement where in when a contract is created/changed, workflow needs to be triggered. Can any one pls let me know how to work on this. I have no idea in workflow.
THanks,
Raju

HI,
In header data of your workflow definition you will find an option start events ,here you have to give the object type which is applicable for your scnario(In your case BUS2014).
If you want to check whether the event is triggering or not, Use SWELS to activate the event trace and SWEL to list out the evnts triggered.
Thanks,
Indra..

N level-Approval for contract workflow (WS14000148) in SRM

Hi SDN'rs
I want to activate N level-Approval for contract workflow (WS14000148) in SRM
When I am creating the contract in SRM I can see the approvers in the approval preview.
But when I release the contract and look at the approval privew there are no approvers
and the status of the contract is released.
We are on SRM Server 5.5 and SP 07.
Here what I did
1. I implemented the BADI 'BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI' using the sample implementation and populated the approvers.
2. I activated events SAVED,CHANGEVERSIONSAVED for WS14000148 in OOCU transaction.
3. I see event linkages for WS14000148 for both events SAVED,CHANGEVERSIONSAVED in SWE2 transaction.
4. I assigned role SAP_EC_BBP_PURCHASER to for subworkflow N step for contract WS14000147.
( User who is creating contract has this role)
5. Consistency check for WS14000148 is green and WS14000147 is yellow in SWUD
6. Event simulation for BUS2000113 and events SAVED,CHANGEVERSIONSAVED shows WS14000148 successfully started.
I see dump in ST22 with errors TSV_TNEW_PAGE_ALLOC_FAILED and SYSTEM_NO_SHM_MEMORY with WF-BATCH is this any thing to do with that?
If any one know what are the steps I am missing please let me know.
Thanks

Released Contracts workflow

Hi team,
I have a requirement in SRM 7.02. We are creating contracts and replicating to ECC system via idocs only.
In SRM we are using only Strategic sourcing and contracts only.
I just wanted to know , suppose contract is created in SRM system and for triggering Aprroval WF what are the conditions I can consider?
( customer interested on n level approval. )
Generally for SC, we will check value of SH and account assignement like that for Contracts what would be the conditions for triggering WF??
and one more question is when contract will come into "Released status" means Released contract will trigger approval WF in SRM or approved contract will come into "Released" status and replicate to MM system - Please confirm me.
Thanks,

Hi,
You can trigger contract workflow based on value and in a lot of cases its based on the document type. For example:
Start conditions:
&Purchase Contract.Transaction Type& ZSCH and
&Purchase Contract.Transaction Type& CCTR
While in the SRM application if you go to transaction SWB_COND, you then search for Business Object (in your case contract) and here you can see/maintain the start conditions for each workflow.
In relation to the released status, if the contract goes for approval only after it is completely approved then it will go into Released status.
I hope this helps,
Lisa

Conditions for contract workflow approval agent.

Y'all,
I would like to know if its possible to have conditions in the WS14000088 contract workflow to assign the approval agent/user depending on contract values, for example i mean:
"if the contract has an specific value at item level then assign the approval to the business unit manager... or if the contract has an specific value at header level then assign the approval to the category manager..." etc.. etc..
Is it possible? if yes, how do you commit it into the system?
Regards,
Gerardo.

Hi Jerry,
Yes it is possible to have a conditions to assign and determine the approval agents depending on the value of the contract.
Goto tcode SWDD and for the appropriate task in the workflow 'WS14000088' create the condition. The work item for this step can be executed when this condition for work item generation is met. If there is a requested start for this work item, this is checked separately when the condition is met.
Reward points if the answer is helpful.
Regards,
Andy.

What can be done, so that the workitem after displaying the contract disappears?
Please help us.

Contract workflow WS14000088 - BUS2000113 - No receiver entered

Hi Guys
The event trace of contract workflow shows the event status as 'cancelled' with the error 'no reciever entered'. The start conditions are set correctly for WS14000088 with event linkage activated. The responsible agent has been set to a user with contract manager role. There are no possible agents set and the task is marked as general task. The workflow goes into a 'logically deleted' status in the approve task TS14007969. Can you please let me know if any other setting is missing? Any inputs are highly appreciated.
Regards
Rajeev

Hi Rajeev,
Please state at which step of the workflow are you getting the error.
One way to analyse could be to check in the workflow log for the step in error and go to the technical details of the step. Check the point at which the error has occured.
Hope this helps!

Saumya

Central contract Workflow attributes

Hello,
As per my understanding we can activate the workflow on any contract attributes/ fields(for central contract) like prices, product category etc.
We can activate u201C1-stepu2019 standard bc set u201C/SAPSRM/C_CT_600_001_SP04u201D and can determined workflow agent based on any attributes like u201CProduct categoriesu201D ,price etc
Or we can use BADI Implementation u201CBADI /SAPSRM/BD_WF_RESP_RESOLVERu201D for Agent determined based on attribute store in customized table
Please correct me if my understanding is wrong
However we need your valuable inputs on below
1) List of central contract ( CCTR ) attributes/fields on which we can activate the workflow.
2) List of central contract ( CCTR ) attributes/fields on which we can activate the workflow without any badi implementation ( without any coding ). As a part of standard configuration.
Best Regards

HI,
I suppose you plan to use process controlled workflow.
If yes then you can check the tcode BRF and try to create a expression of type formula interpreter.
In the this expression navigate to formula editor and here you can find all the attritutes you can trigger for any business object.
For agent dertermination SAP has already delivered many agent determination method.. If a process level and click on the F4 feature available for field Resolver Name to find all the predelivered methods.
You can check the service market place http://service.sap.com for Workflow Guide SAP SRM 7.0

Is there no contract rejected task in contract release workflow ? (BUS2014)

I'm trying to trigger my workflow when a contract is rejected but I can not see any 'rejected' task or step in default contract workflow.
How can I be able to do this ?
Here is the copy of default cotract workflow (WS20000079);
And here is the tasks of BUS2014;
Thanks for any help.

Hi Mustafa
The standard WF WS20000079 uses task TS20000172 to send the decision. It has three terminating events from BUS2014 (RELEASED, RESET and SIGNIFICANTLYCHANGED).
Which event gets triggered when you "reject" a contract in your system? (check in SWEL (switch on the trace first using SWELS))

Contract after rejection is not routed to contract owner

Hi,
I am facing a very strange issue in PCW for contract . After rejection the contract is not appearing in the UWL of the contract owner and when i go and see in the worklfow log i see that its lying with WF-BATCH.
I am usng the task 40008003 for accept/adjust task for rejection in the acceptance by the contact person section in /sapsrm/wf_process for my custom schema .
It works for PO but surprisingly its not working for contract . I am not able to figure out anything from SLG1 either. I tried debugging with WF-BATCH but could not come to a conclusion. Please any suggestion.
regards
Anand

Urgent : N-Step 14000109 workflow - Unable to identify Approvers

Hi Gurus,
We are using SRM 5.0. I'm trying to configure the N-Step over value limit workflow 14000109. I've made configuration for SLApprover and Spending and approval limits in the org structure. i've activated the workflow and has mentioned the start condition.
To understand that this workflow is being triggered, i've just configured this workflow for one particular product category AK00 I.e. I didn't configure any workflow for any other product categories. When I Create shopping cart using AK00 category, and check the shopping cart i get no errors while i pick up any other product category it mentions that no workflow found. So this confirms me that N-step workflow is being triggered.
but the issue is it doesn't identify the approvers. It builds a preview without mentioning who the approvers are.
Could someone help me as to how to fix this problem. Is this anything related to Agents? I'm not sure as to how configure agents.
Please help.

Sam K

PO Workflow triggering Issue

Hi,
I have a custom workflow created for PO and Contracts and they are working fine. But the issue is, as I want them not to trigger in workflow I removed the release stratergy and till last week it was fine. Recent we found that even there is no release stratergy defined for the PO and Contract workflows, the workflow is getting triggered.
Could anyone please tell me is it possible to trigger a PO/Contract workflow without release stratergy? If yes then what will trigger this and what should I look for?
I have the Receiver FM defined for this WF and it was there earlier also. This issue is occuring recently.
Please help me.
Thanks,
Murali.

Hi ,
First of all get the workflow name. Open the workflow in SWDD and go to Basic Data start event tab.
There deactivate the workflow .
If the workflow is still getting triggered, execute the transaction SWi1 and see the triggering agent for the WORKFLOW .
Go to that program or exit and remove the code or comment the code for executing the workflow.

SAP SRM Contract : identify Creation/Release and restrict BADI call

Hi There!
I need some suggestion on one of the issue i'm having now:
The SRM contract workflow works on n-level approval for which a BADI is implemented for the approvers. Now for one of the custom sub-process i need to trigger a different workflow from this BADI which works BUT create as much of workflow items as the number of calls of the BADI. Is there way to identify the code/identifier which say it is a 'SAVE' or 'RELEASE' event and also how can i restrict some piece of code inside the approval badi to be called only at the last call of the badi?

Dont you want to show a release value to every one ?
Purchaser should know what is going on contract?
what are the POs released?
