PO Workflow- multiple reminders

Hi Gurus,
Please help me with steps for below options in PO Workflow process.
i) Need to find the option to disable multiple reminder nofitications for PO Approval.
ii) Need to change timeout value for notices.
Thanks in advance.
gvk.

Thanks a lot for replying.
Sorry I need to achieve the opposite functionality.
The standard PO Approval WF(POAPPRV) is sending only one notification.
How can we enable option to send multiple reminder notifications in the Standard PO process.
regards,
gvk.

I cant get multiple reminders on calendar on iphone4

I have updated all software on my iphone4 (version 4.3.5) but the calendar still does not give me the option to set multiple reminders and will only list the one. Even leaving the calendar and coming back, there is only one option and even if i enter the reminder field again to set a second reminder, all i am left with is the original time option. Is there a setting i have not turned on. The alerts are set to on in the settings. Any help would be appreciated.

thanks mendel, it was restoring then got to a point that my phone is locked and i should unlock it first. My problem is its disabled and the screen is on iphone disabled and i should connect to itunes...any ideas??

Want to create a workflow with multiple reminders mail

Hi Gurus,
I have created a workflow,will trigger when a user status is changed.It will send a mail to next level person for approval.( I am only using a event,and send mail .because in my case it is not complesary
to go to sbwp.Sending mail itself is enough.)
So now they want reminder mail for each level.the reminder mail should go,each 2 days once till he approved.
Is there any task?
How can i send multiple reminder mail,on by one till approved.
waiting for your reply..

How to avoid triggering of a workflow multiple times at the same time?

Hello Workflow Gurus,
This is the situation.
I have a Notify requisition creator workflow. This workflow is triggered only when a PO is completely released(this Po is created with respect to a purchase req). I have implemented multiple release strategy in my PO workflow. Meaning, if a PO is created for 5 million, 4 entries are created in the release strategy(P0, P2, P3 and P4). Some approvers have authorization to approve P0 and some have authorization to release P2 etc. Before an approver can release P4, P0, P2 and P3 shuould be approved first.
My problem is when a approver has auth to release both P3 and P4, and if he hits the SAVE button, it is completely released and 2 notify req workflows are being triggered. I use the release indicator = 'C' (completely released) to trigger thos notify req creator workflow. In this case both workflows are triggered at the same time and date. I somehow have to say if this is triggered at the same date and time, complete one workflow.
BTW, I am not using any user exit to trigger this. This notify req creator WF is triggering event is "RELEASED'. When pO is completely released, 'RELEASED' event gets triggered which caused the notify req creator WF trigger.
How can I accomplish this?
Thanks
Rachana

Hi Rachana,
Another way you could acheive this is to use start conditions for your workflow. You could specify that your workflow should get triggered only for release codes = XX or release strategy = XX, etc.. This way even after 1 stage of approval, when the approver clicks on SAVE, the release codes change and because there is start conditions in the workflow that would prevent another instance of the workflow from getting triggered.
For example, in your case, I presume PO, P1, P2, etc are your release codes.
You can have a start condition in your workflow wherein you specify that the workflow should get only triggered for release code = P2 [assuming release code P2 is always the 1st stage of approval]. So, once the approver for P2 has completed and Saved, since there is a start condition, there wouldnt be any other workflow instance started. By this way, any stages of approval wouldnt cause another workflow to initiate.
Hope this is what you have been looking for ?

Lightroom 2.5 Workflow - Multiple Users

Cheers! But not so much for me. I am befuddled. Here is the scenario: I have more than one lightroom user on more than one desktop that needs to be able to work with the same set of images from a photo shoot. The images are on a network drive but I am having a devil of a time with ensuring the metadata is current for each user. So, as I understand the workflow (and I assume I have this wrong), I have set the preferences so that the metadata is written to the file each time it is updated. When a user is finished with the images in a filmstrip I am having them write the metadata to the file, and each time a user works on a different file, I am having them read the metadata from the file before starting work, and everybody is talking back and forth about who the current owner of the file is. This is sloppy and tedious at best. Can someone point me in the direction of a better way! Thank you. Travis

Hi Travis!
First and foremost you have to understand that LR is NOT a multi-user application. So, knowing that it becomes a discipline issue when multiple users are working on the same set of images.
Since the catalog cannot be located on a network drive each of them must have a copy on their local drives. The original images can reside on the network. And here is where your problems start.
The basics you outlined are good. You just need to make sure that one, and only one, user at a time works on the catalog. Reading and writing the metadata is a must. However, another thing to keep in mind is that not all the data about an image is stored in the image file. There are some items that are stored in the catalog. If each user has an independent copy they won't necessarily be in synch.
One approach to this (and yes - it's annoying) is to have the catalog on an external drive (not a network drive). Then whomever needs to work on the images connects the external drive to their computer, opens the catalog, works on the images, closes the catalog, dismounts the drive. Then the next person can have it. This works if you are all in the same location. It's not practical when you're in different cities!
There are other workarounds such as copying the catalog to the network drive. While you cannot open it from there you can download it to your local drive. Work from there then upload it back to the network. This becomes tedious, though, as the size increases.
So, since LR in not an multi-user networkable app there really isn't a great solution for this kind of workflow setup.

Best workflow: multiple documents or multiple sheets?

I'm new to spreadsheets, but growing to like them a lot. One question I have is what the best practice is for maintaining things like a finance/income spreadsheet for multiple years — is is better to have a new sheet for every year, or to create a new document? Currently I am just using multiple documents, using the previous year's as a template. But I've been wondering if you long-time users can shed some light on how you think this is best handled.

@Jerrold - thanks, this was another thing I was wondering about (bloat/speed issues over time). Currently I am doing exactly as you mentioned, pulling in sheets from the previous years, then calculating stuff based on totals -- since I don't really need most of the detailed info for year-to-year comparison.
Thanks for the counterpoint, these are the kinds of things I am trying to weigh before I make any changes in my workflow.

Workflow multiple versions in production

Hi Experts,
when i transport my work flow from development to production
multiple versions are getting created.
e.g
in development i have version 0001
and production also have version 001
i did some changes in development in version 0001
now i transported it to production
then in production new version is getting created. version 0002
I did check the SAP help which says
If a workflow definition is transported into another system,
only the active version is transported.
If the workflow definition exists in the target system with the same
version number, it is overwritten by the transported version if it has
no workflows running. Otherwise, the transported workflow definition
is saved with a free version number. The transported workflow
definition becomes the active workflow definition in the target system
but i checked the production server and work flow is not running. still multiple versions are getting created.
any clue experts
Regards,
Umesh Chaudhari.

Hi Umesh,
Yes in your scenario you would get a new version created as an instance has already been started using the older version. This state of affairs used to worry me from a QA perspective as well, but I have seen it now in many sites - both ones where I have built the workflows and ones where I have not - and I can state pretty conclusively that from an operational perspective it is not an issue.
You could generate a new version in your DEV system whenever you transport, but I would not advise this as in this case it is possible to get your versions out of synch and actually deprecate your changes. This is not only poor but proved very difficult to analyse (for my small brain anyway) at the site where this was attempted.
In this case I am firmly of the opinion that I will let the transport system manage the versions in my production system.
Kind Regards
Gareth

How can I add multiple reminders at once?

My wife often sends me a list of items for the grocery store via email. It makes sense to me I would be able to copy the text and paste it into a list in reminders. When I do this, I get a single reminder with all the items listed in one long line. Is there a way to get it to put one reminder per line in the original text?
For example:
blackberries
sweet potatoes
green pepper
zucchini
Should result in 4 new reminders, but instead I get "blackberries sweet potatoes green pepper zucchini" which isn't very helpful.

hmm....
Try this: open the folder in Finder containing the items to delete. Select (highlight) the first one to delete by clicking on it. Now select the next (random) item by holding down the shift and command and clicking on it. That should make it selected (highlighted) as well. Now you have 2 files selected. Repeat for all of the rest of them using the shift-command-click method. When finished click-hold one of them and drag then to the trash.
That work?

Workflow email reminders on calculated date column - Paused

I am having an issue in trying to setup a SP designer workflow to be able to send a notification if an approval is not met by a certain date. I was hoping someone could point out where I am going wrong with the
workflow details below?
The workflow is based off an infopath form. The form when submitted sends an email to the appropriate person that an action is required (which works fine). I
have created a calculated column (Reminder-2A) which is [Created]+20. So the approver has 20 days to approve the form. The workflow is required to send a notification to the user if the form has not been approved.
I have tried to use the "Start on item change" workflow context & paused the workflow until the ReminderDate is greater than or equal today. There are 2 steps for this approval so I have 2 approval steps based off the FormStatus when the approval
takes place.
So the issue stems from the first step not getting released from its pause state. I was hoping that once the form is approved the FormStatus field would force the workflow to complete that step (unpause) and move to the next step but how I have it currently,
it does not work that way. Can someone point me in the right direction as how I go about achieving this?
I have attached a snippet of the 2 stage approval and the workflow state on the SharePoint site
Many thanks

Hi Luca,
I think you can use event handler associated with item for item changed. Every time an item has been edited, check whether a workflow instance is still running. If so, cancel the running workflow. This link would help you. http://chrissyblanco.blogspot.com/2007/08/cancelling-running-workflow.html
If you don't want to go for coding, you can try below approach, SP designer workflows have this behavior that they do not stop when the item is updated.
Create 2 lists (parent and child) and a workflow on each (wf1 and wf2) respectively. When your condition meets in the workflow(wf1) of parent list, create an item in child list on which the wf2 workflow starts and pauses till the specified date. Once the
pause is completed, you can send the mail from workflow 1 or 2 and then delete the item in child list.
Modify your Parent list workflow to handle the below scenario. If you ever update the item in parent list, delete the corresponding item in child list that was paused/waiting and create a fresh one.
You need to store the fields Parent list Item ID, version(optional).
Parent list is your actual list. Child list is a staging one which you never expose to anyone.
Thanks Sandy

General Question re logical workflow (Multiple Products/Sales Teams)

Currently we are upgrading from a highly customized CRM environment developed in CRM 4.0. We are hoping to move to an out of the box solution with 2015.
But I have a general question. We are a service company with different sales groups for each of our products.
Currently we have customization for each service so a Sales person is assigned to a specific product for the customer.
So my question is, how is this handled out of the box. I am sure there are many many many companies in the same situation.
So say 10 products with sales group for each product.
Then a customer with multiple departments. Each sales group needs to contact the specific department.
So a customer could potentially have 10 different sales people contacting different people in the customers organization.
How do you know when someone has already made contact?
If we just look at the activities it is not very clear that contact has been made for a specific product.
Even with our customizations, there have been many situations where 2 sales people contact the same person at a clients office and we end up looking very unorganized.
Any thoughts or comments are appreciated.
If this is not the right place to post this type if discussion, please redirect me.
Thanks

As an example, for 37-minute sequence of footage (made up of multiple clips) it's taking 50 minutes to first export a non-self-contained, time-code-reader-filter-added Quicktime.
Did you render fully before you exported? That helps. But this is also a GOP format, and it takes longer to do pretty much everything, as it is a processor intensive format.
1) How much more memory would help this work flow go faster, and approx. how much faster??
None. RAM doesn't come into play here. PROCESSOR speed is all that matters. What will make it go faster is enabling QMaster to have Compressor access all cores of the processor. Or getting hardware to help with the compression, like the Compress HD from Matrox. But that only boosts encoding to H.264.
2) Has anyone else done this type of work-flow, and been able to do it more quickly? Is RAM the issue? Any suggestions for a more efficient work-flow?
RAM isn't the issue. Faster Processors, hardware boosting...converting the footage to ProRes before you begin editing...all help.
RAM isn't what is hindering you here.

Human workflow Multiple Send Addresses removal

We have configured Multiple Send Addresses by setting ASNSDrivers attribute in SOA suite 11.1.1.5 PS4 as per the Administration guide.
There are scenarios where we are required to remove/delete some of the addresses.
How do we do that?

Hi Andrew,
That's correct, you would need to know all the email addresses if you are using my above approach.
If you can use another field to populate the 30 odd email addresses in a single line in the format I mentioned in my previous post. Although, I don't see any easy way of doing that, OOD does not provide a function to replace a charcter in the expression builder.
Please let me know if you are able to get this working.
Thanks,

Workflow - Multiple dead line messages

I've got a PO ( BUS2012 ) workflow in which I want to have weekly notifications sent to the workflow initiator if the PO has not been released. I gone the route of setting up a fork, one fork looks for the PO release and the other fork does a loop and sends an email every seven days, notifying the initiator that the PO has not been released.
I'd like to have the email contain a hot link to the PO document. ( At the beginning we had a one time LATEST END notification which allowed us to link to the PO, however I could not get the LATEST END to be performed weekly.
Thanks
JB

A deadline will only occur once, so the most common solution for repeated deadlines is a loop, either a loop creating new work items (modelled latest start or end deadline) or a loop with requested start deadline in a parallel branch as you have now.
Your problem may be solved by setting up a latest start deadline of 7 days, which uses a simple notification, and a latest end deadline of e.g. 7 days 10 minutes (or any number of minutes greater than the interval between your deadline jobs) which uses a modeled deadline to loop and create a new work item.

ME91F printing multiple reminders

Hi All,
We are trying to print reminders for line items (in PO's) from ME91F. When I execute this report it displays only line items (which satifies selection criteria), but when generate message (print outputs) for selected line items It will print reminders with all the line items (including the one for which reminders have been generated earlier). What should I do to make only the selected line items are printed in the reminders (instead of old one's).
Example
I have PO 4500000030 with two line items 10 and 20. Reminder for line item 10 is already generated at earlier date and now I am generating reminder for item 20 from ME91F. When I run transaction ME91F it displays only line item 20, but after selecting item 20 and click on generate messages (in the spool I am seeing two line items 10 and 20). What should I do to print only line item 20.
Any thoughts/inputs will be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time.
Paul

Hello,
Try to debug message generation process & check the point where PO's line item selection happens again.This selection should be same as what you see on ME19F screen (if screen shows only one item ,then message processing shd also show 1 item).Check if some indicator is present to show that reminder processing done or so.& Use that to further filter data.
Thanks.

Invoking workflow multiple times - Error

Hi,
We have developed a workflow which reads the list of users from a database table and creates as many worklists(There are around 100 users).
Workflow starts when a user submits a blank form. On submit, the workflow reads a list of users from database and invokes the workflow that many times (around 100) to send the forms to each users worklist.
Our problem is that this is working fine for 70-80 users (i.e. it sends form to around 80 users). But beyond this it errors out showing the following exception. Please help.

Workflow - Multiple Plan types

How does Workflow work when there is more than one Plan Type. As the Planning Unit is made of an Entity, Scenario and Version, how does it work when the data set that needs to move along the Approval flow is across Plan Types ?

Thanks Jake ! So, as long as the Entity, Scenario and Version that are part of given Planning Unit are shared across Plan Types, ownership is passed and security is updated in relevant plan types ?
Also on a related note, is there an overlap of Security and Workflow ? In other words, Security still remains the way it was defined irrespective of Workflow, right ?
