What is 'Material Aging Workflow'?

When I am going through the 'Release Content Document' of R12 Inventory, I came across a functionality called 'Material Aging Workflow'.
I searched for this in R12 Inventory User Guide and metalink. But I am not able to find any details about this.
Can anybody explain me about this?

Dear,
You can find much info about workflows at: http://www.erpgenie.com/workflow/index.htm
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/EN/04/926f8546f311d189470000e829fbbd/frameset.htm
Workflow is a tool for automating the business process so that the process itself flows smoothly, without bottlenecks and without dead ends. Critical parts of the process can be streamlined with deadline monitoring and contingency options. Participants are informed of milestones in the process. The process definition itself is powerful enough to allow business re-engineering with re-training and to eliminate the impact of workforce changes on the basic business process.
SAP Business Workflow is the R/3 tool for handling the process automation within R/3 or between R/3 systems and other systems involved in the business process. It is flexible enough to handle ad hoc processes such as the circulation of an electronic document. It is robust enough to handle mission critical process in the production system such as the creation of a material master.
The different R/3 applications supply standard workflows for the commonly occurring processes. Once these workflow templates are activated, they are ready for immediate use. A complete set of workflow tools, including the workflow editor and workflow generation wizard, are provided to enhance these standard workflows or create new workflows. These tools are complemented with transactions for monitoring, tracking and the statistical analysis of the processes.
Because the business process often does not step at the R/3 boundary, various interfaces and third party tools are available for extending the process across systems.
Function module
Function modules are procedures that are defined in special ABAP programs only, so-called function groups, but can be called from all ABAP programs. Function groups act as containers for function modules that logically belong together. You create function groups and function modules in the ABAP Workbench using the Function Builder.
Function modules allow you to encapsulate and reuse global functions in the SAP System. They are managed in a central function library. The SAP System contains several predefined functions modules that can be called from any ABAP program. Function modules also play an important role during updating and in interaction between different SAP systems, or between SAP systems and remote systems through remote communications.
Unlike subroutines, you do not define function modules in the source code of your program. Instead, you use the Function Builder. The actual ABAP interface definition remains hidden from the programmer. You can define the input parameters of a function module as optional. You can also assign default values to them. Function modules also support exception handling. This allows you to catch certain errors while the function module is running. You can test function modules without having to include them in a program using the Function Builder.
The Function Builder also has a release process for function modules. This ensures that incompatible changes cannot be made to any function modules that have already been released. This applies particularly to the interface. Programs that use a released function module will not cease to work if the function module is changed.

Re : Material Master Workflow

Hi Friends,
           I'm in the process of creating Material Master Workflow (i.e) Basic data will be created by one person (initiator) and the workflow gets started and various views will be created by different people.
          Usine BUS1001006 methods Getmissedviews and createviews i'm sending workitems to the respective persons for creating views. The method CreateView is an asynchronous task hence the terminating event is required.
          The problem i'm facing is even if one view is created , the workitems in other's inbox is removed.
Can any one help me onthis regard.....

Material Master Workflow

Hi,
We are planning to implement the same thing. <as described in [this thread|Re : Material Master Workflow;>
Can u please provide me the valuable inputs for the same?
I have just started the preparing initial document,
so if anyone can provide me the details about this, I would be very grateful.
Initially i was planning to create one module pool program. Anyone who wants to create a material will go to that transaction and will create the basic data. Once he saves that data a chain of e-mails can be sent to other concerned persons. These people will enter the respective data and then they will send this to sap-core team. I was planning to introduce SAP-Workflow here only. We have thress level approval process.
But idea of creating / maintaining different views via sap-workflow is very appealing , so now thinking
of giving a try to this!
Waiting for any inputs and your experiences on working this.
Regards,
Vinod.

Hi Parag,
Is BUS1001 still the right object for material (I see in 46C its event ViewCreated has been flagged obsolte.
You should otherwise be able to base your next step on this event. In my system 46C, BUS1001006 would be the right object to use.
hope this helps,
cheers,

Material Master workflow - how to use a BAPI?

Hi,
I need some help with a material master workflow.
My requirement is to automate some changes to the material master as steps in the workflow, they are:
Set the Cross plant material status
Set the material deletion flag
I see that the BAPI SAVEDATA is available as a method of BOR BUS1001006. I have created a task with this method but I cannot work out how to automate the changes to the material in the workflow using it?
Has anyone used this BAPI method in a workflow before, how do I automate the changes to the material using it? or is there another way to make changes to the material as a background step in my workflow?
Many thanks,
Neil

All,
thanks ever so much for all your input... I have fixed the problem and it was obscure!
Firstly my binding was wrong... I should not have bound the clientdata and the clientdatax
since the settings I was trying to default (material status an del flag) from the master task were actually being overwritten with this binding. bit of a schoolboy error that one.
Secondly I created 1 brand new task and reused 1 old task for the purposes of setting the material status and the deletion flag respectively.
I managed to get the first one working this morning by removing the binding, the second one still errored with the message about source and target structures being different... which got me thinking, so I created a brand new task for setting the deletion flag and ... it worked!
So why? ... then I realised.
We just upgraded to EHP7 and this workflow existed prior to EHP7. I copied the workflow and edited it for my new business requirements. Reading some of the release notes it turns out the structures have changed and there were conversion routines for fixing them.
All sorted now!

Material Master workflow views

I have a material master workflow which determines the views of material number. Configuration is there for several warehouses and getting warehouse view extension for all warehouses. My question is how do I avoid workflow for certain warehouses? Please note I don't want to remove/change configuration, it is needed in near future.
Thank you,
Nagarajan

Hi,
My question is how do I avoid workflow for certain warehouses?
Please note I don't want to remove/change configuration, it is needed in near future.
So I hope you are trying to start the workflow by making use of events, if this is true then there will be an entry maintained in the txn SWE2.I think the best way to handle is to make use of the Check Function module, This is beacuse I am not sure whether you would be able to get the warehouse information in a BOR Business object,
So try to create a check function module and map this function module against the entry in the SWE2 txn. There you would be having the flexibility write your own validations, and later in future if you want to either include or exclude the validation you can do it easily...
The main purpose of the check function module is to do this kind of validations and validate the event.... IF you feel that the workflow should not receive the event then raise a exception in the check function module this makes sure that the workflow wont trigger for that specific warehouses.

Alert workflow - items of contract

Hallo,
we are using the Alert workflow for contract (we made a copy of standard WS10400022). By exceeded treshold we want to get the goods recepient for each items informed.
But we don't know, how to separate these items (which treshold was exceeded) from the contract and give them to the workflow.
I had the idea, this could be solved by the messages. But according to the standard only the body of the message (bapiret2-message) is going into the workflow, it would help me, if the importing parameter in the container would be just bapiret2.
But I don't know, how to achieve this.
Could please someone help me?
Thank you a lot.

Hi All,
I am working on Purchase contract through workflow. In that I am using business object BUS2014,
But in this business BUS2014, there is no event called create, So I take copy of business object BUS2014 to ZBUS2014.And I craeted event create & method end_date for checking the end date of contract.
The problem is, When I am using for t-code ME31k for release, If i am going to check t-code SWEL the event is not trigger on for release.
My requirement is when the contract is going to over then before 10 days the workflow event is trigger and give the remainder to creator & the vendor. And also same thing before 5 days it will give the 2nd remainder.
Please help me out regarding this.

Finding all SharePoint objects (alerts, workflows, etc) configured to send mail to a specific user

Hi all,
I'm looking at the mail traffic originating from our SharePoint instance and noticed there are a number of "delivery has failed to these recipients or groups" for people no longer with us.
Is there a means (powershell?) to discover the objects (alerts, workflows, etc...) in SharePoint that are sending mail to these people so they can be removed as part of old account housekeeping?
Thanks!
Paul

Hi
Please checkout below script to remove the alerts enabled for individual users.
http://dunxd.com/2010/12/22/delete-all-alerts-for-a-user-in-sharepoint-with-this-powershell-script/
You can verify the content of emails which will have names of users and kind of emails , if that is aa workflow approval or simple alerts. if its workflow alert you might need to contact the sharepoint administrator/designer who can find
out the source of same

Create Material master workflow

Hi I need to create a workflow that firstly creates a material with the basic data views (in the background) using passed in data, and the next step will then trigger some tasks to create material views. But I can't find a business object to do this. I have found BUS1001 but the create method is now obsolete, and I am not sure how I am meant to populate the attributes of BUS1001006?

I am not sure how I am meant to populate the attributes of BUS1001006
No worries, you are on the right path. The BOR which you found is the right one , now what you have to do is in order to pass the values when the material is created , you need to first give the START EVENTS in the workflow basic data and actiavte the binding. And before this you need to create a container element in the workflow I hope it is MATNR , for more information regarding the parameters check the event parameters of the BOR BUS1001006 and the event CREATED then you can get a idea on what all the elements that are required to create in the WF, after declaring the container elements in the workflow. the simple thig you have to do is BINDING.
Now create a material, by default the parameters are passed to the workflow that you designed.

Material Reservation Workflow(MB21)

Hi all,
   Have anybody has implemented a workflow for Material Reservation(MB21).
I have a problem in that.I want to know how to develop a item wise approval process for this.
The scenario is whenever a reservation is created the goods movement shld be blocked and should be sent for approval.The approver on executing the workitem will be taken to MB22 transaction where he have to select the items for which goods movement is allowed(enable a check box) which means those items are approved.
The problem is say if there are 5 line items in the reservation and if the approver approves only 3 then he can approve the remaining after two days or one week or he will approve only 3 items remaining he is not interested in approving .
How to control this in workflow how come we can know that the approver is interested in only 2 times and remaning is rejected or the approver will approve the items later..
Any idea Please let me know..
Regards,
sapient

Here you go:
MB21 ==>
1. Create a subtype of BUS2093. (Through SWO1 T.code)
2. Create an event "Created".   (Through SWU_EWCD T.code)
QA32 is a report for Inspection Lot. Hence I infer you probably want creation event for a inspection lot.
QA01 ==> Inspection lot
BUS2045    --> Inspection lot
Follow same steps of 1 & 2 above for the "Created" Event
