Forwarding a Work Item

HI Experts,
  I need to forward a workitem from one approver to the alternate approver while retaining the same workitem with the Initial approver, in the middle of a loop. How can I achieve the same as I am not able to get the Workitem ID at the runtime to forward the same.
Please advise.
Regards,
Raju

Hi,
  My requirement is:- My Workflow will have multiple levels of approvals and the workitem will only be a dummy workitem as the same is handled from the Portal. Based on an Action from the Enterprise Portal, a terminating event is raised and then workflow proceeds to the next level. I have used the Same task(Asynchronous) in a loop to send the Work Item in all the levels in the loop based on the Level.
    Now, when it is at a particular stage(only for that stage), when the Approver does not approve the workitem for some specified time(say 3 days), automatically the work item must be forwarded to the alternate approver whlie retaining the same with the Initial approver. This is required because, after three days work item should be available with both the approvers after 3 days and whoever approves it the workflow should continue to the next loop.
If I use deadline monitoring concept, then that would trigger for every 3 days, but I need the workitem to be forwarded only once after three days and from there normal flow is required.
Hope I am clear in my requirement.
Kindly advise.
Regards,
Raju

  • Forwarding of Work Item from Approver's Inbox

    Hi All,
    We are in SRM 5.0 SP07 Classic Scenario.
    We have a requirement of restricting forwarding of work items from approver's inbox to users who do not have a approver's role. Presently, when the system takes in a user ID who is having a requisitioner role or for that matter any role. The requistioner receives a work item but the requsitioner is not be able to approve/reject the workitem.
    We would like to ensure only the approvers are selected in search and other users are not even displayed for selection.
    Is there a way to achieve this?
    With Regards
    Sathya

    Hi,
    As per the config guide,when you try to assign the User,using the FIND button,you will get to see all the users with the role "SAP_BBP_STAL_MANAGER" who can approve.
    Else you can filter the possible selection with the BADI BBP_CHNG_AGNT_GET.
    See the foll thread for more pointers:

  • Excluding workflows from automatic mail forwarding of work items

    Hi,
    I have configured automatic email forwarding of work items by scheduling a background job that calls RSWUWFML2.
    Is there some way to exclude some workflows, meaning that work items from these workflows shall not be forwarded to the users email?
    Thanks, Oscar

    Hi,
    This you can achieve by creating the Variant
    1) In the workflow identify the Task, which you donu2019t want to send the notification
    2) In the u201CInstance Datau201D Block, in the Task there is a select option, click that.
    3) In the Select option screen you have to give the Task which you want to exclude, in the exclude options
    4) Then save the variant, schedule program using the variant
    Note : you have to give the respective Task No. in the workflow, NOT the workflow No.

  • How to forward a work item from user inbox

    Hello,

  • Adminstrator-forward of work item

    Hi Guys,
    i  have an requirement workflow,
    Super user wants foraward a workitem to some other users, whenever  user is not available ( if user missed to put substiution), that time super user wants to forward it to others.
    I tried with SWIA , but forwarding of workitem(Adminstrator-forward) is in gray mode. so i cant able forward it.
    How can i do it. please let me know if have any suggestions.
    Regards,
    Sankar.

    Hi,
    It think by now you have all of the tools to forward a workitem from another users inbox to someone else.
    1. SWIA
    2. change through workflow log
    3 RH_SUBSTITUTES_LIST for another user.
    4. change the password via SU01 and log in as the user to forward the items.
    If they do not work, then it's probably an authorization issue which you should solve first.
    Kind regards, Rob Dielemans

  • Please Help me with the Work Item agent to agent forwarding error

    hi folks ,
    This is the error I am getting when I am trying to forward the work item from agent to agent.
    "Work item 000000017188: Method SAP_WAPI_FORWARD_WORKITEM not allowed for type F "
    Please Help in this regards. its Urgent.
    thanks in advance for your help
    Krishna Chaitanya

    The F type Workitem cannot be forwarded because it represents Workflow (Also Subworkflow) workitem Id.
    You have to find out with workitem which has status W(Dialog Work Item; Represents a Single-Step Task) from SWWWIHEAD table and status should be in process and the TOP_WI_ID should be the value that you are trying to forward.
    Thanks

  • Forwarding work item

    Hi Forum,
    When we forward a workitem from Inbox of an approver..
    1)Which BADI is trigered?
    I tried puting a break point in workflow BADI but it is not trigered when i pushed the Send button.
    2)Are any mails trigered?
    Regards,
    Anubhav

    HI,
       To the best of my knowledge , there is no Specific BADI for forwarding Work Item.
    But inorder to allow forwarding the Work item, Purchasing Org structure (PPOSA_BBP) , Flag:FORWARD Work Item attribute need to be set.

  • SWIA -- Forwarding option is grayed out... can not forward Work Item

    Hi,
    When I use SWIA to forward one Work Item to another user, that option is grayed out there.
    While another use with same access is getting this option for the same work item.
    Any user specific setting preventing this?
    DA

    Usually when you try to forward an already forwarded item then the option is greyed out. Which is why one user can forward it and another cannot.

  • Forward work item that has been completed

    Can I know if there is anyway that I can forward the work item to someone even though the transaction has already completed?
    Also I would like to know if I can forward the work item to someone when it's not in a dialog step?

    Hello Shreya,
                You can forward the workitem from the transaction code SWIA.
                 You can also forward the non-dialog work item too from the same transaction code.

  • How to handle the situation to forward work item manually?

    Hi All,
    In my workflow -
    For agent determination I have some custom logic to determine agents. If custom logic donu2019t return any agents then the requirement is work item needs to send back to workflow initiator.
    My issue-
    When no agent determines
    1.Work item needs to send back to workflow initiator - and he should not able to Approve or Reject work item - He Can only forward work item to any other person manually (he determines to whom it should forward).
    2. After manually forwarding the work item it is normal process 2 level of approval from that point .
    Please let me know for the first item how to handle the situation?
    I have developed 2 section - one goes with regular agent determination -
    and the other one when no agent determines then I am assigning back to workflow initiator. Now I want to handle that - initiator should not accept or reject and he can only forward to someone. How to develop this?
    Please let me know your thoughts.
    Thanks in advance.
    Rajesh,

    Hi All,
    Thanks for the answers.. sorry for late replay.. requirement was not confirmed.
    1. As I described in my question
    After my custom conditions.. I have to send workitem back to initator ( Now initiator forwards the work item to someone else  ( need to restrict  users  based on role - )..
    While doing this process initiator should not have access to approve or reject he should only forward the workitem.
    After forwarding the work item -this person should have approve or reject options.
    My question is not answered..
    1. As Vijay told..
    Dont give Approve and Reject Options and in Description u specify like
    If I dont provide approve/reject when I am sending the work item to initiator - After initiator forwarding this work item - how do we the other approver will get options  Approve and Reject?
    2.  AS -surjith kumar
    If your Using the Rule or Expression you have to restrict via coding -  This will solve one of my problem -
    How I can restict  users with role based?
    My problem is not solved.. Initiator should not have access to approve but He should only forward the work item...
    Please let me know...

  • Forwarding 'Wait Step'work items using SWIA

    Hi,
    I need to forward work items of one user A to another user B urgently, using SWIA.
    The work items are in executed state. This is after a fork step in the workflow, where the executed work item is one branch of the fork.
    As these items are executed, we will have to forward the work items that are in ready state.
    The work item for the other branch of the fork is in ready state. However this is a wait step, and hence I am not able to forward this item.
    Kindly advise as to how should I forward these items.
    Best Regards,
    Smruthi.

    Hi Smruthi,
    Dont confuse with the wait for events and dialog work item. There is no direct link between the wait for events and the work item.
    Only dialog work items needs the user action and dialog work item's only can be forwarded to other user's.
    For this, the work item should have the status of 'Ready'. If the work item has the status 'In process' that means, the user opened the work item and still he didnt take ant action on it.
    In this case, using SWIA you can manually change the status as 'Ready' and then you can forward the work item to the other user's.
    To forward the work item use the function module 'SAP_WAPI_FORWARD_WORKITEM' or use the SWIA transaction.
    Thanks,
    Viji.

  • WORK ITEM  FORWARDING issue...................................

    MY REQUIREMENT IS THAT I don’t want user to forward the work items to other users by setting substitutes. I can think of forwarding not allowed for a task; is there a better way to do it ?

    I think the above method is the best way.
    I think you can also restrict by some Authorization. In order to set a substitute you need to have some authorization.
    Thanks
