SRM 7.0 Process Controlled Workflow-Level Type in Process level config

Hello Experts,
In SRM 7.0 for Process controlled workflow,for Level Type in Process Level configuration we have 3 different options
1) Approval with Completion
2) Approval
3) Automatic(System User)
Can you plz explain what is the difference between these 3 diffrent potion for Level Type in Process Level configuration.
Your help will be highly appreciated,
Thanks & Regards,
RKS

1. Approval with completion : This allows approvers to make any changes to document while approving. Generally you define this type for buyer in SC approval.
2. Approval :  above minus change
3. Automatic (system approval) : If no process level is determined, you need to set up a process level with automatic approval to approve the document by system.

  • SRM 7.0 - Process controlled workflow

    Hi,
    Landscape -  SRM 7.0 SP05
    Workflow - Porcess controlled
    Scenario - Self service procurement
    Problem:
    1. We have mulitple level approval workflow for the shopping cart. I am using standard workflow task- 40007953 and using /SAPSRM/BD_WF_RESP_RESOLVER badi to determine agents.
    2. All the potential approvers (managers) are determined correctly by this badi but the issue is work-item is sent to all the approvers at the same time where as the requirement is to sent the work-item to each approver in series i.e. only when the work-item is approved by the lower level manager, it should go to the higher level manager.  Currently, this workflow task sends the work-item to all potential approvers at one go who can start working on parallely which is not desired.
    Could anyone please help me to resolve this?
    Please note that adding additional process steps in the process-level configuration was the option but we could not opt for that at this point of development as we have gone too far in terms badi development for agent derterminiation
    Thanks & regards,
    Amit

    Amit,
      It is not possible to send the work item to people in sequence by configuring only one process level. If you have only one process level, the agent determination will only be applicable to that process level. If you are trying to assign multiple agents to that step, then all will get the work item at the same time.
    I recommend doing one thing, Create multiple process levels(= no of approval levels you want). For each process level you keep same event and expressions. But your agent determination badi implementation need to be tweaked. Here is how you can do that
    Use Parameters along with agent determnation badi implementation. In other words derive Agents based on the value of parameter using your badi implementation. This parameter can be configured in Process Controlled Workflow Configuration.
    Example,
    Process step 1 - WF_BADI - Parameter1
    Process step 2 - WF_BADI - parameter2
    Now write some code in the WF_BADI to pick up particular agent if parameter value is Parameter1 , pick another agent if parameter value is parameter2. Doing this way you wont ve to redesign your BADI implementation as you are able to break up the Agent logic based on parameter values.

  • Process Controlled Workflow - 1-step approval for shopping cart approval

    Hi,
    I have configured a one-level approval for SC (Process Controlled Workflow):
    Object Type: BUS2121
    Additional 1 level under schema: 3C_SC_600_000 (the last level is the automatic approval)
    Level Type: Approval with completion
    Eval ID: 0EV_SC_SL1
    RR Name: RR_SPENDING_LIMIT_APPROVER
    RR Param: USTONY.Y (I hardcoded it using my user ID, for the moment)
    Task ID: 40007953 (I have checked, it's generalized as well)
    Decision Type: Item-based decision for entire document
    For PPOMA_BBP:
    Under my org unit (Position):
    Approval Limit: 1000
    Output Limit: 1000
    I didn't do any BADI implementations yet.
    During creation of SC by other user, before "Order" the SC, the approval preview can show correctly that the Processor is as indicated in the config.
    Once the SC is ordered, the whole step is gone and the event linkage becoming delinked (because there is error, and according to the config in SWEQADM).
    However, I cannot find the workitem (no workitem generated) and SLG1 does not give any clue whatsoever.
    I tried debugging method APPROVAL_LIMIT, and it seems fine as well.
    Please help, what did I do wrong here?
    Thanks,
    Tony Y

    Hi Sahil,
    I even changed to first process level to:
    Level Type: Approval
    Eval ID: 0EV000
    RR Name: RR_MANAGER
    RR Param: (Blank)
    Task ID: 40007953 (I have checked, it's generalized as well)
    Decision Type: Decision for entire document
    Under PPOMA_BBP:
    I made myself as a head of the org unit with the role manager.
    The requester is "Exclude" the role manager.
    The agent can be determined now.
    But the workitem ID is still cannot be generated. It's always no workitem generated.
    Please everyone, any help?
    Thanks in advance,

  • Dump on screen when configuring Process controlled workflow

    Hi Experts,
    I am facing 1 problem in SAP SRM 7 ehp1.  I am configuring Process controlled workflow. Previous workflow settings was Application controlled workflow as its been upgraded from SRM 5. If i run a RFX (BUS2200) cycle in application controlled workflow environment, it works flawlessly.

    Hello Anand,
    As per standard SAP recommendations the application-controlled workflow framework is only intended to be used if you are upgrading from SAP SRM 5.0 or earlier and you need to continue using your existing work-flows.
    The default workflow framework setting is the process-controlled workflow from SRM 6.0 on-wards and the user will be provided a option to switch to the application-controlled workflow framework.  The option to switch to process-controlled workflows is available only after you have once switched to application-controlled work flows but there will be a big caution that " If you switch from the application-controlled workflow framework to the process-controlled workflow framework; once a process-controlled workflow has been run, it is not supported that you switch back to application-controlled work-flows".
    As per the details given i got a feel that we have tried executing the scenario by switching between application and process controlled workflow and hence the system have become inconsistent and its dumping.
    I suggest you to raise a OSS ticket to SAP to resolve the issue.
    Best Regards,
    Rahul

  • Approver not determined process controlled workflow in SAP SRM 7.0

    Hello all,
    I have setup process controlled workflow in SAP SRM 7.0 EHP3 for shopping cart approval.
    I have 4 approval levels.
    I have used item-based Decision for entire document because for some items i want system approval.
    In implementation of BADI /SAPSRM/BD_WF_RESP_RESOLVER, in the method /SAPSRM/IF_EX_WF_RESP_RESOLVER~GET_AREA_TO_ITEM_MAP, i am skipping the items for which i want system approval.
    Also in method /SAPSRM/IF_EX_WF_RESP_RESOLVER~GET_APPROVERS_BY_AREA_GUID of BADI implementation class, i am keeping the approver table empty for the step which i want system approval.
    For example i have 1 item in shopping cart and for 1st step, based on some accouting criteria, i want system approval for 1st level and the workitem should go directly to 2 approval step when shopping cart is ordered. This is not happening.
    But if i have multiple items, and one item should have system approval based on some criteria and the 1st approval level should be system approval and other item should go to the 1st approver. This is happening and showing 'system' approver for item1 and 'appr_xyz' for item 2.
    For shopping cart having only 1 item, If i approve the shopping cart in this state only, it doesn't go to any approver and is not usable.
    am i missing anything in BADI /SAPSRM/BD_WF_RESP_RESOLVER??
    Please let me know.
    Regards,
    Yayati Ekbote

    Hi Adrian,
    Yes it is possible to display custom workflows in the Universal Worklist,  However, I am not sure what you are trying to do with a routing table.  If the workitems are of type decision, you can use UserDecisionHandler (action handler) configured in the XML file to use the Approve/Reject functionality - we are talking about webflow connector here correct?  R/3 connector?

  • SRM Process Controlled Workflow

    Hi Exports,
    I have created a Process schema for SC object type (BUS2121)..
    Looks like my process levels are trigged before the shopping cart is actually ordered by the user..
    Is this a normal behavior? or I am missing any configuration? or I need to have a additional process level initially to check whether the SC completed?..
    Please advice..
    Thanks in advance

  • SRM Process Controlled Workflow - Re-start using FM BBP_PD_SC_UPDATE

    Hi All,
    We are upgrading from SRM4.0 to SRM7.0 SP07 in classic scenario. We switched to Process Controlled Workflow.
    We have a CUSTOM application where the requisition items are entered and a Shopping Cart is created in SRM through Function Module BBP_PD_SC_CREATE. When the Shopping Cart is created in SRM , the Process Controlled Worflow is triggered successfully.
    In the custom application , we allow users to do changes to the requisition that are awaiting approval.The changes are updated in SRM Shopping Cart through function module BBP_PD_SC_UPDATE. It is noticed that the workflow process levels are not re-started after the shopping cart is updated through FM BBP_PD_SC_UPDATE.
    However , the process levels are re-started when the change is directly done to the Shopping Cart in SRM POWL. We want the process levels to be re-started even when the changes are done through BBP_PD_SC_UPDATE. The users are used do changes to the requisition through the custom application. We also noticed that system does not go through BAdI /SAPSRM/BD_WF_PROCESS_RESTART when changes are done to the SC through BBP_PD_SC_UPDATE.
    Is there any way that we can trigger process level re-start when SC is changed through FM BBP_PD_SC_UPDATE
    Thanks
    Sukumar

    HI ,
           This is not the correct way of updating the SC. please check the below process...
           first you try to get the SC document in Edit mode and this can be done only SY-UNAME should requester of the SC or( user who are changing the SC should be in the Org structure ).  ( This point why i mentioned is you mentioned that your editing through custom application ). 
      note : use try and endtry and catch the exception when u get the SC document in Edit mode.
      DATA: lo_pdo_sc             TYPE REF TO /sapsrm/cl_pdo_bo_sc_adv.
          "Instance SC PDO Layer
          lo_pdo_sc ?= /sapsrm/cl_pdo_factory_sc_adv=>get_instance( iv_header_guid   = p_guid "ps_shopping_cart-guid
                                                                    iv_mode          = /sapsrm/if_pdo_constants_gen_c=>gc_mode_edit ).
       now you do what ever changes to the document. I mentioned points below.
            "Get Item Details
          lo_pdo_sc->/sapsrm/if_pdo_bo_sc~get_item_detail
    do changes to the items of the SC.
           "Update SC Items
          lo_pdo_sc->/sapsrm/if_pdo_bo_sc~update_items
           "Submit Update
          lo_pdo_sc->/sapsrm/if_pdo_base~submit_update
           "Save SC
          lo_pdo_sc->/sapsrm/if_pdo_base~save    
          or  order  the SC again.
          COMMIT WORK AND WAIT.

  • Complexity of using N-step BADI in SRM 7using Process controlled Workflow.

    Hi,
    Just as a big thought,
    I have a Shopping Cart requirement, Here i am asked to develop a Custom workflow for SRM 7.0.
    And the client is looking for us to use Process Control Workflows i.e(BRF integrated one).
    I need to understand the complexity of using a N-step BADI.
    How would be the complexity level if I use a N step BADI( ie Multiple approval levels on Line Item Based).
    Kindly tell me the complexity of Using it and if any one has come across some requirement like this, then explain me that how did you face the situation.
    Expecting an Earliest Response.
    Thanks,
    Shanky

    Hi,
      Is your project SRM 7.0 implementation project then you have to go for Process Controlled Workflow and if your project is upgrade then you can still go with Application Controlled Workflow but down line this has to switch to Process Controlled Workflow.

  • SRM 7.0 Process-controlled Workflow not starting

    Hi,
    I have problems with implementing an own process-controlled workflow. The "Sample BC Set for Process Level Definition" /SAPSRM/C_SC_600_001_SP04 is working fine. However I do not succeed in triggering a customer Process Schema for BUS2121.
    The (first?) problem can be duplicated as following:
    1. BC-Set /SAPSRM/C_SC_600_001_SP04 is activated
    1.1 When creating a shopping card (Web Portal) a approver ("Head of organizational unit" in OrgManagement) is displayed in the Details (Approval-Workitem is created when saving the shopping cart)
    --> OK
    2. Deactivation of Process Schema 3C_SC_600_001 (replace Eval.IDs with customer Eval.ID which contains always false expression)
    --> When creating a shopping card (Web Portal) no approval data is displayed in the Details
    --> OK
    3. Copy Process Schema 3C_SC_600_001 into ZC_SC_600_001; replace customer Eval.ID with original Eval.IDs (Boole; no process schema in expression (Eval-ID 3EV_SC_600_001_100; Expression 3B_SC_600_001_100: "Execute always"))
    --> When creating a shopping card (Web Portal) no approval data is displayed in the Details
    --> NOT OK; the same result as with 1.1 is expected
    Why is 3. not working? Any ideas would be very welcome.
    Best regards

    Hi..
       what do you see in SLG1? .. i think your process level Eval.id result is false, that is the reason workflow is not kicking of 
    1- level approval.. check your process level configure and try to use 0ev000 as a Eval.Id instead your custom Eval.Id and test..

  • Issue in Process Controlled workflow for Shopping cart in Quality system.

    Hello All,
    I ahve configured a Process controlled workflow in SRM 7.0  with custom resolver, and I am facing an issue taht the Workflow works well in Development but in Quality the approvers are dropped after SC is ordered in Quality system.
    The SC Workflow drops the approvers picked up from the Interface  method /SAPSRM/IF_EX_WF_RESP_RESOLVERGET_AREA_TO_ITEM_MAP and IF_EX_WF_RESP_RESOLVERGET_APPROVERS_BY_AREA_GUID of BADI /SAPSRM/BD_WF_RESP_RESOLVER. The approvers can be seen in the shopping cart Approval preview Tab until the SC is ordered.
    I have compared the OSS notes relevant for Workflow, all of them have been transported, Also I compared and checked general Workflow settings, BRF Config and  Process level  settings in Dev and Quality, everything is same.
    Also while debugging; the approvers can be seen in the decision set table in the create_process_forecast method of class /SAPSRM/CL_WF_PROCESS_MANAGER.
    Kindly let me know what else i can check to find the root cause.
    Thank you in advance for help!
    Regards
    Prasuna.

    Hello Vinita;
    Thanks for the input and sorry for the not so "ASAP" reply;
    From what I'm seeing in from your 2 screenshot, i strongly believe that the problem is even before the Z implementation /SAPSRM/IF_EX_WF_RESP_RESOLVER~GET_APPROVERS_BY_AREA_GUID (in which the FM i ZSRM_GET_USER_FROM_PGRP is called. I think the problem could be in the process level determination  ZSRM_WF_BRF_0EXP000_SC_APP100. Let me explain:
    In your  cases where not buyer is determined,  in the approval tab there is not even a process level for buyer approval. If the problem were indeed in the implementation  /SAPSRM/IF_EX_WF_RESP_RESOLVER~GET_APPROVERS_BY_AREA_GUID  then the process level would be there, but the system will display, instead of the name of the buyer(if the buyer determination fails) a red label with the message:  "With the strategy "Buyer determination" an approver could not be determined (or something like that..please check the image at the end of the text)".
    I can propose a way to discard this: Implement the method /SAPSRM/IF_EX_WF_RESP_RESOLVER~GET_FALLBACK_AGENTS of class ZCL_BADI_SC_WC (in case you didn't know, in this method you can specify an "default" approver in case that the determination of approver in GET_APPROVERS_BY_AREA_GUID fails). The idea is to specify an default approval and see how it behaves:
    If the user you indicated in the method GET_FALLBACK_AGENTS appears as approver, then yes, the problem is arises from implementation GET_APPROVERS_BY_AREA_GUID, in which case it could be a data problem (peharps in pposa_bbp?). You could also check in TX SU53 with the users with this problem to see if there's a missing authorization objetc.
    If, in the other hand, the "default" approver is not shown, it means that the process level buyer determination is not even called, so you should check in more detail ZSRM_WF_BRF_0EXP000_SC_APP100 and /SAPSRM/CL_WF_PROCESS_MANAGER > Determine process restart –method ----- (i have never used this method, so i could not tell if  it could be the source of the problem).
    Also, you could implement the method GET_FALLBACK_AGENTS in this way so the default approver would be the WF administrator indicated in the customizing (or you could just append directly any user you want):
    METHOD /SAPSRM/IF_EX_WF_RESP_RESOLVER~GET_FALLBACK_AGENTS.
       DATA: lv_admin_expr TYPE swd_shead-admin_expr,
             lv_admin      TYPE swd_shead-wfi_admin,
             lv_admin_type TYPE sy-input,
             ls_agent      TYPE  /sapsrm/s_wf_approver.
       CALL FUNCTION 'SWD_WF_DEFINITION_ADMIN_GET'
         IMPORTING
           default_admin_expr = lv_admin_expr
           default_admin      = lv_admin
           default_admin_type = lv_admin_type.
       ls_agent-approver_id = lv_admin.
       APPEND ls_agent TO rt_agent.
    ENDMETHOD.
    Error of agent determination:
    Please let me know the result of the test with the implementation of method GET_FALLBACK_AGENT. By doing this we could ensure if really the problem is in method GET_APPROVERS_BY_AREA_GUID or before.  I just made the test in our system and I'm almost sure that you wont get the default approver, but i could be wrong. 
    Any question please let me know.
    Best regards
    Cristian R.

    I am configuring Process Controlled Workflow in SRM 7.0 for shopping carts. As per one of the guidance documents, I activated the BC Sets for the shopping cart in order to pull in all the component parts. As none of the three standard Process Schemas created meet my requirements I am going to create my own Schema. Please could someone explain to me how I can ensure my schema will get activated, and not say  -  /SAPSRM/C_SC_600_001_SP04?
    Many Thanks
    Claire

    Hi,
    You can create custom schema definition. If you need only 1 schema, you can use constant type BRF expression.
    1. Create BRF event and Expression in transaction BRF
        BRF Event (ZEVALUATION1)
        BRF Expression (ZEXP1)  = Constant Schema name (ZSCHEMA1)
    2. Link the event and expression
    3. Customize Define Process Level
        Process Schema Evaluation = BRF Event (ZEVALUATION1)
                                                     - linked to BRF Expression (ZEXP1)  = Constant Schema name (ZSCHEMA1)
        Process Schema Definition (ZSCHEMA1)
          - based on your requirements

  • Error during approval Process flow in Process controlled workflow

    Hello Experts,
    We are in SRM 7.0 classic scenario using Process controlled workflow.WE recently connected a new backend R/3 system to our SRM system i.e we now have 2 R/3 backend system connected to SRM system
    It is regarding the two new additional account assignment categories that came into picture when we connected the new R/3 backend system to our SRM system, i.e. Asset and Network.
    There seems to be some problem with the approval workflow for those SHC, that have such Acc *** Cats.
    Please find below my obeservations:
    - if you have just one line item in the SHC, and this item is either booked on Asset or on Network, than everything goes fine. After the Acc *** approval, the PR is created in R/3
    - if you have SC with a mix between an "old" Acc *** Cat (Cost Centre, WBS and Order) and one of the "new" Acc *** Cats, than the workflow is not working as required --- the manager, that is responsible for the accounting approval of the two positions (e.g Cost Centre and Asset) gets only one work item in his approval overview --- in that work item, the two positions are there, but the Asset one is grayed out --- so, the Manager approves only the Cost Centre positions and than the SC is no longer with the approver --- if you observe the SC now from the requisitioner point of view, the status of the line items in the approval process overview of both(!) lines is "approved", but the overall status of the SC is still "in approval"
    Can you all experts plz let us know why this is happening and how this can be resolved?
    Any pointers will be highly appreciated.
    Thanks & Regards,

    Hi,
    What is Resp. Resolver Name and Decision Type in your Process Level Definition? Did you create custom agent BADI implementation?

  • Custom Expression creation in Process controlled  workflow

    Hi All,
    I am working on SRM 7.0 and utilizing process controlled workflow to model my approval workflow scenario. Below are the steps that i have done but still i have not got the desired result. May be i am missing something which the forum members can let me know.
    step 1: i have copied the standard function module  /SAPSRM/WF_BRF_0EXP001 and made chnages in the code  based on the logic to populate the ev_value.
    basically in the coding it is done this way.
    initialize
    EV_TYPE = 'B'.
      EV_LENGTH = 1.
      CLEAR EV_CURRENCY.
      EV_OUTPUT_LENGTH = 1.
      EV_DECIMALS = 0.
      EV_VALUE = ABAP_FALSE. " no processing
      EV_DATA_MISSING = 'X'.
    get event object
      LO_WF_BRF_EVENT ?= IO_EVENT.
    get Context Container from BRF event
      LO_CONTEXT_PROVIDER = LO_WF_BRF_EVENT->GET_CONTEXT_PROVIDER( ).
      CALL METHOD LO_CONTEXT_PROVIDER->GET_DOCUMENT
        IMPORTING
          EV_DOCUMENT_GUID = LV_DOCUMENT_GUID
          EV_DOCUMENT_TYPE = LV_DOCUMENT_TYPE.
      CASE LV_DOCUMENT_TYPE.
        WHEN 'BUS2121'.
    Get shopping cart instance
          LO_WF_PDO_SC ?= /SAPSRM/CL_WF_PDO_IMPL_FACTORY=>GET_INSTANCE(
            IV_DOCUMENT_GUID = LV_DOCUMENT_GUID
            IV_DOCUMENT_TYPE = LV_DOCUMENT_TYPE
            IV_PDO_EVENT_HANDLING = ABAP_FALSE
    custom logic  with the GUID of the shopping cart then populate  value accordingly
            EV_VALUE = ABAP_TRUE.
            CLEAR EV_DATA_MISSING.
    step 2: create an event ZEV_001 linked to expresion ZEX_001.
    step 3: expression ZEX_001 is of type 0FB001. and the xpression is as below.
      ZEX_002 = OB_WF_TRUE.
    step 4: ZEX_002 is of type 0CF001 and output result type is B. the attached function module is the one created above by copying /SAPSRM/WF_BRF_0EXP001
    no parameters provided .
    step 5: the process step level config completed.
    now when i am creating shopping cart  go for approval preview its gives an exception occured  error . i cant see any dump in the system. however  if  in the custom fucnction module code if i do not clear the  EV_DATA_MISSING. then i d o not get the error but my steps is not executed. Inslg1 log i see the  process level executed  but return as space.
    as per other post in the forum we have to clear EV_DATA_MISSING but that casuing  exception eror for me. in the dlg1 log howere the steps  expressin i can see executed  with return =X.
    hope i am made myself clear . feel free to ask for any more info.
    i have below question.
    1) do we need to copy  /SAPSRM/WF_BRF_0EXP001  or  /SAPSRM/WF_BRF_0EXP000 for creating a custom FM expression.
    2)what does the check box "Calculation of Parameter in Function Module/Badi/method" does
    3) how can i do debugging for such FM expression , probably saving the cart and then debugging the expression.
    Thanks in advance for any help provided.
    Cheers

    Make sure the check expression will have check as shown below
    ZEX_002= 0C_WF_B_FALSE
    FYI-
    You don't need to have expression ZEX_001 to check the result of ZEX_002, because both expressios resut is type 'B". you can directly attached the ZEX_002 to main Event ZEV_001

  • Inconstancy in Approval Workflow- Process Controlled Workflow

    Hello Experts,
    We are in SRM 7.0 classic scenario using process controlled workflow and facing an issue as described below:-
    During the approval workflow, we are observing that in
    Case 1: When approver3 is forwarding the work item to approver10, the approver10 in not getting the work item in his Inbox. However, when we see the log detail in SWI6 the status is shown as u201CREADYu201D
    Case 2: We created a shopping cart with identical details as in Case 1 and followed the same approval process i.e.Approver3 forwarding the work item to approver10, however in this case approver10 is getting the work item in his Inbox and when we see the log details in SWI6 the status is shown as u201CCOMPLETED"
    We tried this scenario for 10 times and we found that in 2 cases the approval status is showing as u201CREADYu201D while in other 7 cases the approval workflow got completed.
    Can you all experts please help us understand why this is happening and how can be find the root cause i.e why Case 1 is in u201CREADYu201D status for last 2 days.
    We seek your help in understandingroot cause so that we can eliminate any inconsistency in future.
    Any pointers to resolve this issue will be highly appreciated.
    Thank you in advance.

    Use class /SAPSRM/CL_WF_APV_FACADE. This is used by standard SAP WF Analysis.
    Methods - RETRIEVE_PROCESS_HISTORY, GET_CURRENT_PROCESS_STATE, CREATE_PROCESS_FORECAST.
    To analyze more, check the program /SAPSRM/WF_CFG_ANALYSIS_002. Check lines 209...216 (These Lines pull Previous Approved Steps, Current Process Step & Gets the approval forecast). However the REJECTED Items (Accept Decision) work little different (which is not captured by this report).
    To Identify the current approval process awaiting decision by the requester of the cart, use method GET_CURRENT_PROCESS_STATE, return parameter structure /SAPSRM/S_WF_PROCESS-PROCESS_LEVEL_LIST-DECISIONSET_LIST-ITEM_STATUS_LIST gets you the current status of the item (ACCEPTED, REJECTED, OPEN, INQUIRED). If ITEM_STATUS_LIST-ITEM_STATUS EQ 'REJECTED', then the WF is waiting for acceptance/resubmission from the requester.
    To your specific need, pass DOCUMENT_GUID to the class /SAPSRM/CL_WF_APV_FACADE=>GET_CURRENT_PROCESS_STATE get the return parameter /SAPSRM/S_WF_PROCESS. It will give you PROCESS_LEVEL_LIST. Then loop through DECISIONSET_LIST. It contains Table Types of AGENTS_LIST, ITEM_STATUS_LIST, WORKITEM_LIST. At /SAPSRM/S_WF_PROCESS level, you can get all the details of the current process level details
