CProject - workflow events

hiiiii all,
i got requirement to find out that can i user workflow for phases, tasks etc in cProjects.
can anybody tell me that which all are the events those are fired when you have workflow in cProjects. Can anybody give me those names of default events in workflow? And also tell me that can i write my own events in cProject workflow?
Plz reply soon.
Thank you.

Hi
Here is some information on cProjects workflow. Use
cProjects offers you a workflow function when you make certain changes to project elements.
Integration
The workflow is linked to a record change or a change in status (see Status Management).
Features
You can use the workflow function for the following project elements when the status is changed :
·        Tasks
·        Checklist items
·        Phases
·        Projects
Once the project leader releases one of these elements, or if a phase is ready to be approved, the person responsible for processing it receives a message by e-mail that the project element needs to be processed. The e-mail contains a link to the corresponding project element.
Furthermore, you receive an e-mail informing you if changes have been made to a project element for which you are responsible.
If required, your system administrator can make other workflows available.
For the rest you have to dig into business objects and find the correct objects and its events

Workflow Event Scripts

Is there a way too store a work flow events idoc script in an external location (eg. file) and call it from within the workflow event. What I am after is a way to encapsulate common workflow business rules in one place and call them. We have several repeating rules that are used in all of our offices as well as office specific rules which are all currently in separate files. We would like to factor out the common rules into a parent flow so if there is a change to the common set we only have to change it in one place instead of each file. Thank you.

Yes: use the Idoc Script function docLoadResourceIncludes.

Workflow event got deactivated?

Hi all,
I have created an workflow for Notification (IW21). When i create a notification the workflow event is getting deactivated and i am getting an error message "Workflow definition of task 'WS11111111' cannot be activated".
Can anyone please help me.
Regards,
Gautham

Hi Gautham,
Check the workflow which you are using if it is active. Could you give the workflow number (unless it is a custom built one) because WS11111111 doesn't exist in the system I have access to.
The event linkage gets deactivated because there is an error in the linkage or as in your case the workflow. The option "Behavior upon feedback" determines the behavior of the event linkage when an error occurs. In your case the event linkage gets deactivated. This has nothing to do with the error itself.

WorkFlow event

hello everybody ...
Please help me as to how to create a workflow event and how to trigger it when my me21n transaction is completed.
what are the steps involved..
Please need this quite urgently.....

Why use SAP Workflow?
SAP Workflow ensures " the right work is brought in the right sequence at the right time to the right people". It is a tool designed to facilitate and automate business processes that require tasks to be performed by people. Ideal for casual or non-SAP users, since all the work items can be performed outside of SAP by simply responding to an email, SAP workflow can be linked to Microsoft Outlook or Lotus Notes. Each step of a business transaction can be easily monitored and processes are completed from the beginning to the end. Workflow allows process owners to keep an eye on deadlines, provides statistics on the length of time to complete work processes, determine the workload with regard to individual employees and save processing time.
Since Workflow delivers work items to employees automatically via email, they do not have to wait or inquire about the status of a particular transaction. SAP Business Workflow can also be used to respond to errors and exceptions - it can start when predefined events occur. For example, an event can be triggered if particular errors are found during an automatic check of the data SAP workflow is particularly useful when there is a business process involving more than one person, when an automatic notification can replace a manual communication and when there is a defined set of individuals and/or documents implicated. It organizes one's work, alerts users and directs traffic by sending work items - once the user executes the work item, then another one can be sent to another user. For example, a Manager could use workflow to approve a vacation request from an employee. The workflow application would ensure that each person involved uses the correct online form and successfully completes their step before the planned leave was entered into SAP - either by an Administrator or automatically. By the same token, if someone registers for a training class, Workflow can act as an alert tool by notifying the supervisor in question or reminding the individual of an upcoming class.
Before implementing SAP Business Workflow, organizations should start by asking a series of questions, such as: - Which HR processes do we want to automate? - To what extent can we change current procedures and pass them over to electronic control? - What steps are these procedures made up of? - Who are the individuals involved and what are their roles? - How do we get the Workitem to go to the right people?
Even though Workflow can be implemented via user-defined tables without the Organizational Management component in place, having a pre-defined organizational structure adds tremendous value and saves time. A clear reporting structure made up of positions and position holders that is maintained by the HR department, ensures the ongoing ease-of-maintenance effort. The ability of HR personnel to add and delete users from positions as people come and go, without affecting your core workflows, is a tremendous long-term benefit. If you have Personnel Administration in place, employee's email addresses can also be maintained by the HR department in addition to employee's respective Time/HR and Payroll administrators who might be involved in the Workflow.
There are basically three options for connecting workflow to external email: Microsoft Outlook/Exchange, Lotus Notes or SAP Connect and Internet Mail. A key factor in SAP R/3 4.6 implementations and upgrades will be the use of a Web browser as the main workflow interface.
Benefits of SAP Workflow
Although the advantages gained by using workflow are not of financial nature, the time saved by optimizing processes could easily be translated into money. - The quality of your processes will be assured by sending relevant information directly to the user. Managers don't have the time to search for information. For example if an employee obtains a qualification as a result of hard work or training, their Managers can be notified immediately. - Cycle time is reduced by providing all the necessary information needed: people can check their list of pending tasks and determine which tasks can be completed the next day without any negative impact. I.e. A Payroll Administrator might be notified immediately of an employee address change via ESS that might implicate taxes. - Workflow allows to monitor deadlines.
It could be used to remind employees of upcoming performance reviews or training or to send payroll year-end tasks items to the relevant Payroll Administrators. Deadline handing ensures that users perform the tasks within the time planned. Escalation measures ensure that the failure to meet a deadline can be corrected by other means. - Users can see at a glance how the process works and who will be selected to perform the different tasks, which creates a transparent work environment. - SAP contains Workflow templates, which can be used as a reference providing more than 200 Workflow samples. - Implementing Workflow will save costs. Ask yourself how much time is spent gathering information, getting hold of people, logging into different systems and trying to understand who to give a task to? How often does this current process fail and how labor intensive is it to fix it? Workflow reduces time and effort spent and the savings in days can be considerable.
How does it work?
There are several components of a workflow: Workflow Definition, Work Items, Triggering Events and at the Receiving end the Organizational Structure. The workflow definition is created in the Workflow builder and is made up of the various steps. Each step of the workflow definition can be a task pointing to a SAP transaction or a decision. A decision might contain specifications about agents and deadline monitoring for a step. The workflow is started either manually or by the system at runtime. For the system to start a workflow, the workflow definition must contain a triggering event (for example the event "Address update by the employee"). When the event occurs, the relevant workflow is started automatically. Tasks or Work items describe the activities involved and can refer to automatically executable methods (i.e. send an email to a supervisor) or they might need a user to execute them (i.e. supervisor has to go and click on a button in his workplace to approve something). Tasks refer to business objects, which are ABAP coding. Events are activities that trigger the workflow - one or several workflows at the time. Once the workflow is triggered, the definition flowchart determines when and in what order work happens. Work items are then received and executed in MS Outlook, Lotus Notes, mySAP Workflow MiniApp or the SAP integrated inbox. Alternatively, the workflow system can transmit e-mail notifications directly to any mail system, informing the user of the need to log in to the SAP system to execute the task. A work item is always assigned to one or more users. Once the task is executed, the work item vanishes from the other users' inboxes.
Integration to Email systems
Usually executable work items are received in the Workflow inbox. But casual SAP users, especially Managers might forget to check their inbox at a regular basis and so it makes sense to set up reminder emails, informing people via a batch job that they have work items in their inbox. Alternatively, an email can be sent directly to their Lotus Notes / Outlook account with a hotlink to the Workflow inbox. All emails, whether they exists in the form of Workflow notifications, Workflow Workitems, or just a standard SAP Office memo, are sent out of SAP through SAPConnect. This provides the all in one gateway between SAP and the mail server. The transport of workflow items between SAPConnect and the mail server (whether that's Lotus Notes or Microsoft Outlook) has been facilitated by SAP provided add-ons that are fully optimized for the different protocols required for each server. Lotus Notes, for example, uses a 'pipe' called the MTA, or Message Transfer Agent. This was designed jointly between SAP and Lotus to provide full integration between the two systems.
It should be noted that the type of transport medium used is dependent on the mail server and not the mail client. In other words, if the employee uses Outlook on their computer but the mail server is a Lotus Domino server, the MTA would be the mail gateway used. Each workflow background user must have an email address stored in their user profile. It is note worthy that no approval or reply notification will be allowed from an external mail system - in other words external email systems cannot respond back to SAP for security reasons.
Looking ahead
Workflow is becoming more and more web-oriented which allows external business partners to receive notifications. Companies can adopt Workflow together with "Webflow" where workflows can be initiated via Internet transactions and where different external business partners can receive notifications sent by the workflow. The Web inbox offers access to partner companies logging on to your Web portal and it refreshes itself automatically. Any type of work item can be executed directly from a centralized list of work items, no matter what graphical user interface is needed to run it. Webflow is particularly useful when a company deals with outside partners using different software platforms.
Workflows can make an ERP system more efficient by automating situations in which work processes have to be run through repeatedly, or situations in which the business process requires the involvement of a large number of agents in a specific sequence. It is essential that the Workflow consultant is an expert in ABAP development or has access to ABAP programmers since a good deal of the work is technical. You will also need someone familiar with Lotus Notes / Outlook concepts and development in order to create the interfaces between the systems. The Workflow consultant should also have experience in installing and integrating efficient electronic archive systems.

Workflow event invoke FM

Hi,
my requirement is when a inquiry created then workflow event will trigger in BUS2030 at that time i need to invoke my FM using the Inquiry doc No:.
How can i pass the Inquiry details from workflow to my custom FM?
its urgent.............
thanks in advance
Giri

Hi,
you just have to find the correct workitem id.
Try the id of the steps and the id of the workflow in the sap_wapi function modules.
In the workflow log you can find out the exact workitem id numbers.
Kind regards, Rob Dielemans

Std Workflow events for HR Scenarios

Hi I am looking for standard workflows for the following scenarios. Can someone tell me if there are any standard workflow events or should I go for creating a new WF event.
1.Legal Name change---Is there a Wf that triggers some notification.
2.Hire Action in SAP--Is there a Wf that triggers some notification to HR team and Dept mgr.
3.Hire Action in SAP--Is there a Wf that triggers some notification to HR team and Dept mgr.
4.Leave of Absence--Sap notifying HR team.
5.Initial change(IT 105)--Payroll Admin sends notification to associate as well as security team.
6.Marital Status Change.
7.Termination(Voluntary and Involuntary)--Notification to Security team.
8.Probation--Sap reminds the HR team that date is due for employee to return.
I was thinking that for every scenario we have to create a new wf event. I may be wrong but is there a standard wf for the above.
Thanks in advance.

There are std. workflows for this, but it will depend upon your configuration. You can trace whether a workflow is getting triggered from txn: SWEL.
The better option is to use the MAIL feature of dynamic actions. Here's the process:
Enter the name of the feature which defines the characteristics of the mail.
Example
Infotype Field ..... Ind. Var.function part
0001 SACHP M M0001
A mail is sent when the field SACHP is changed. The characteristics of the mail are defined in feature M0001.
In the standard system, feature M0001 is provided as a model. The documentation on feature M0001 explains how to define the characteristics of a mail.

Where to include custo object types in workflow events?

Hi All,
One of my friend is working on HR related Workflow. He has a question about where to include the custom change document infotypes in workflow events.
To make it clear, he says there are three transactions swehr1, swehr2 and swehr3. Now, if he wants to include a custom object (Z object) which transaction should he use?
Please reply ASAP.
Regards
Swapna.

Yes, you use swehr1 to link the infotype to the object type. Then use swehr3 to create the event linkage to your function module or object type event.
I just did this with an e-recruiting project and it worked fine. For example:
swehr1 entry:
NB Requisition 5131 Persons Responsible ZERC_REQUI Job Requisition
swehr3 entry:
NB Requisition 5131 Persons Responsible INS 0 ZERC_REQUI Z_ON_MEMBER_ADD
This accomplishes the following: when a record is inserted for infotype 5131, the function module Z_ON_MEMBER_ADD runs. That function module decides if or which event should be raised. Alternatively I could have entered an event for the ZERC_REQUI object type, but then the event will always be raised on a 5131 record insertion, and for my application I didn't want that.
I hope this example is helpful.

Configuring and programming Workflow Events

Hi,
Please, I´m trying understand how to program workflow events.
After I´d configured the DAD, I´d configured the Global preferences to point the Web agent to http://dad address/wf/owa.
So now I want to program an event that starts a process at the workflow databases every time that an insert occurs at another database, but I don´t know how to configure the other SYSTEM and I don´t have any example of event.
If someone could help me I´ll be glad.
Tks,
Raquel

Hi,
Please check out the section Overview of the Workflow Business Event System to understand and create event/subscriptions. There is a seeded event system demonstration which may help you as well.
Cheers,

Custom processing for every Workflow event

Hi,
As soon as any workflow event is raised, I want to read
data from my custom Z tables and do custom processing for that event.
Thanks,
Sudheer

Hi Sudheer,
You say <i>check if that event is in our custom table</i>. No need to reinvent the wheel, the event linkage fulfils exactly this function. If you want to perform an action for an event then add the event into the event linkage (tx. SWETYPV) instead of - or as well as - your custom table. It doesn't matter if you have the same action in there for 1, 50 or 100 events.
You can have more than one linkage per event and you can start more than just workflow. The receiver function module is what 'receives' the event. It's just that: a FM to be executed when an event happens. This is the event manager's job, which is what you're trying to duplicate as I understand it. The receiver can either be a workflow or anything you choose - just follow the standard FM interface required here (have a look at any other linkage's FM for the parameters).
All that aside, it sounds like somethng I'd do in a workflow. Either as two extra steps in the beginning of my workflow or as a second workflow. (Background step to log data and a sendmail step to notify users).
Cheers
Mike

Workflow Event enabling and Linkage

Hi,
I need to enable the WF Expired Qualification from the event CREATEDWITHVALIDITY of Object BUS7019.
I go to PA30, create a Record for a PERNR in IT0024 with and ENNDA. I debug the transaction and see only Event CHANGEDSUBPROFILE of BUS7030 getting triggered.
How do I trigger the event CREATEDWITHVALIDITY of Object BUS7019?
Please suggest.
Thanks,
Suryakiran D.

Hi Suryakiran,
from sap help (http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2004/helpdata/en/c5/e4aec8453d11d189430000e829fbbd/frameset.htm):
To create events when HR master records change, carry out the following IMG activities:
·        Activate an event linkage
·        Define event types for customer-specific business objects
·        Redefine event types for SAP business objects
These IMG activities can be found in the SAP Reference IMG under Personnel Management ® Global Settings in Personnel Management ® Business Workflow Events.
Please take a look at transactions SWEHR1, SWEHR2 and SWEHR3. I think you are missing a link between the infotype being created and the event getting launched. The SWETYPV links only the event and the workflow.
Best regards,
Mikko

XK01 create vendor and workflow event

Hello all,
Is there a workflow event that is, or can be, triggered when the XK01transaction completes?
I'm not very fluent at workflow, so I hope I'm phrasing the question correctly.
Thanks
Ed Baker

Hey Ed
There is a video on ABAP e-learning on SDN for workflow that describes a workflow for the creation of a material , you can use that for ZK01 as well. I used it for HR employee creation and it was very helpful. U just need to find the right business object.
Here is the link
[https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/e0bbdb3c-d640-2a10-d3b2-e4d9b90536a6]

Can I raise cProject Task event from cProject Phase workflow?

Hi,
I need modify release logic of the cProject's task. I am developing the phase release workflow. In this workflow I want to trigger workflow to sequential release every tasks that belong this phase. I developed a Z method of BUS2173 (Phase) and call the BAPI_BUS2173_GET_TREE, then I got Task_IDs of all of the tasks, but I do not know how to get the TASK BOR reference with these TASK_IDs.
Can I get TASK BOR reference and raise its event from a method of the PHASE BOR ?
Thanks.
Arrow Yang.

Hi Barry,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to save and close the initial form when you approve/reject the task.
For a workaround, you can take steps as below:
1.Open your site using SharePoint Designer, go to Workflows, click the approval workflow.
2.On the workflow property screen, there is a Forms area should have an InfoPath form named Approval.xsn. You can click the link to open the form in InfoPath.
3.Customize the task form for displaying and editing the initial form value.
4.Customize the “Approve” button rule for setting the form value.

Workflow Event not triggering

Dear SDN,
I have created a Workflow and i am triggering through an event . For this have created ZEvent in ZBOR(Modified from Std. APPR_DOC)and attached the zevent in my screen (HR related template PHAP_CATLOG_PA) through oohap_basic.When I run in Background everything is working fine.But when I run through the Tcode(PHAP_CATLOG_PA). event itself not triggering.Problem is my event is not firing.When I check in SWEL my zevent is showing std BOR.My zevent is not catching my ZBOR.Can anyone help me out with this issue.
Regards,
Gopi.

Hi,
gopi BOR will always show the standard BOR and you can put a start condition based on that condition.
after that in first activity you can use your custom BOR and it's methods.
Hope magic Works!
