Work item forward when dead line reached

Hi Every one,
I got change request to deploy the dead line monitoring for the purchase requisition workflow.
The workflow existing start with the agent determination step which will determines the approver and after that it has a custom user decision step( Dead line monitoring must be implemented for this task ) which will call the ME53N and if we say back it will give a pop-up with 3 options which are 'Approve' ,'Reject','Cancel'.The user will select one of the option and after that there is multiple decision step which have 3 branches will select one of the branch according to the user selected option and the flow continues so on.
Business Requirement:
If level 1  does not release requisition in one day, then it must go to Level 2.If level 2 does not release that requisition within three days then it must go to Level 3, escalation stops at level 3 and the work item must stay until unless level 3 make the action on the work item.
The work item forward must be happen when escalation takes place not the notification.
Please let me know the information aforesaid is not clear at any point.
Regards,
Rajesh

You can do this in many ways. This is one of them:
- Create a loop that goes around for the number of approval levels (so, 3-level approval means loop 3 times)
- Inside the loop, create a 2-branch fork with only one mandatory branch to complete: one for approval and the other waiting for "expired" event
- Set up modeled deadline monitoring for the approval step. Once the deadline is reached, you need to fire the "expired" event which will process the other fork branch.
- After the expiration branch is executed, you can add any tasks to change the status, etc.
Hope this helps,

  • Enhanced Notifications(SWNCONFIG) Vs Work-item Forward Program (RSWUWFML2)

    Is there an easy way to find out the advantages of using Enhanced Notifications SWNCONFIG configurations over scheduling the work-item forward program RSWUWFML2? We are on Ep 7.0/ECC 6.0 and configuring UWL for work-item execution and receiving notifications. For occasional users, we are planning to send email notifications to the Outlook email addresses using RSWUWFML2 and the the SCOT internet Send programs. Are there any added advatnages of configuring Advanced notifications?
    Appreciate any ideas.
    Thanks,
    Saurabh

    Yes, there are several advantages, but you may not need all of them. It takes a little extra effort to set it up, but that's a one-time effort and we are not talking weeks or days.
    However, the primary argument is that this is the standard solution for work item notification. So you are recommended to use the enhanced notification solution whether you need the advantages or not.
    One advantage is additional flexibility in which work items should be checked. You can choose to send notifications to people who don't have new work items, but have not yet completed the work items they (probably) have been notified about before.
    Another advantage is additional flexibility in message contents and the number of messages sent to the user. RSWUWFML2 lets you choose between one message and one message per work item. In the new solution you can also send one message per category, although I am not sure what a category is.
    Further advantages:
    - Multiple schedules can be set up, so you don't have to use SM37 to get an overview of your notification schedules and you can send notifications every hour from 09 to 15 and every 4 hours the rest of the day if you wish. There is a time zone field in the schedule configuration. Whether it is used just to make sure the job runs at the desired time or is even more amazingly advanced (only notifying users when their own time zone shows the same time) I don't know.
    - There's more, but since I have never set it up myself I have not read all of the <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005vp/helpdata/en/b9/2a651eb04411d2b46f006094b9ea0d/frameset.htm">documentation from SAP</a> which includes typical scenarios to help you with configuration.

  • Work Item forwarding problem

    Hi All,
    Right now we have a interesting workflow problem. we applied support pack in the month of September after that forwarded work items are getting disppered from the users inbox
    If user A forwarded the work item to User B he is getting it, But it is getting disappered after midnight, It is happening to all the forwarded work items. It didn't happen before the support pack
    If anyone come across the problem please tell me what to do?
    Thanks in advance,
    Rishik.

    Hi all,
    I have same problem. I think there is Job in the background which doing such a refresh and the forwarded work items can't be seen in the inbox. even when I  try to refresh the organizational environment or call swu_obuf the work items are still disappeared.
    have you already found a successful solution for this problem?
    many thx!

  • Work Item forwarding BADI

    Is there a BADI that can be implemented to get the list users that a work item is being forwarded to?

    The question is about getting a list of the people being forwarded to not the person actually forwarding the workitem. I could not find anything. You still can utilize the enhancement framework to enhance the functionality. Function modules SWW_WI_FORWARD could be a good spot for you as I believe it is called when you click the "Forward" button as well as when function module SAP_WAPI_FORWARD_WORKITEM is called.
    You can use function module SAP_WAPI_FORWARDING_INFO_GET to read the related forwarding information.

    But it is not reaching the USER2's inbox. Not able to trace where it is going. the USER1 has the authorizations to forward the work items.

  • Work Item Forwarding

    Hello,
    Here is the scenario:
    I have a task in a workflow. I have defined possible agents (in task definition) and responsible agents (in WF definition). The task attribute is "General Forwarding Allowed".
    In the scenario, a responsible agent receives work item in his inbox. He then forwards it to the user who is NOT a possible agent of the task. The system gives the warning message but allows the forwarding. This forwarded agent then executes the work item.
    Question
    Is there a way to ALLOW forwarding of the work item to any user who is not a possible agent. But to PREVENT that user from executing the work item.
    Any help would be appreciated and will be rewarded!
    Regards,
    Sandeep

    Hi Sandeep
    If you want to Allow general forwarding but restrict execution to only the users allowed, You need to rely on SAP's Authorizations.
    If an action is allowed or not for a specific user, should not ("<i>can not</i>") be based on your workflow design. It must be based on your SAP security design (Your SAP Roles).
    Remember that Forwarding isn't the only that another user can gain access to a workitem. If a user assigns a substitute that's not allowed to execute you will face the same problem, or even if an administrator executes the workitem from transaction SWIA.
    If you are using SAP Standard functionality, the SAP Standard authorization check, for the called functionality, would be checked. In order to find out exactly which objects has been checked, you can use the trace functionality in transaction ST01.
    If it's your own development you need to include the nescesarry checks in the ABAP code.
    Regards

  • 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

  • When time line reaches a certain frame load swf into movieclip.

    Hi,
    I need some help with some actionsscript. When the timeline reaches a certain frame, I want an swf to load into a movieclip in that particular frame. I need this to occur on level 1 as the root of the site is pre loader. Any help would be much appreciated. Cheers

    In that frame, on an actions layer, use either the loadMovie method or the MovieClipLoader.loadClip method to load the swf into the movieclip.  There should be examples of using either in the help documents and via Google.

  • SAP workflow logs for work item forwarding.

    Hi All,
    I just forwarded the workitem today to around 25 users. But I dont know where does this reflect in the logs. My workflow is waiting for approval in managers inbox.
    And the workflow logs says ready state. And no where that I can see the list of 30 users that I have forwarded it to !
    Thanks,
    AC.

    Hi,
    I just forwarded the workitem today to around 25 users. But I dont know where does this reflect in the logs. My workflow is waiting for approval in managers inbox.
    You can only forward the dialog workitem. Now go to workflow log. Clicks on agent button you will find the current agent to whom the workitme is belongs. After forwarding refresh your managers SBWP, workitem will not be there.
    Thanks and regards,

  • TFS 2010 Team Web Access Work Items not loading dropdowns and not saving

    Some of our users have lost their ability to add new work items. When they select New -> Bug the WorkItemEdit page opens, but none of the dropdowns load and required fields are no longer highlighted. When they click save it acts like
    it refreshes, but actually nothing is saved and work item numbers are not assigned. No error message is displayed. This also occurs when they try to edit existing work items. We have checked permissions and these have not changed. We have cleared cache
    and rebooted the server and local laptops. Is there anywhere else we can check to see what is going on? Anyone else have this issue before? It seems like we are loosing another person's capabilities every day.

    Thank you for your help. We have SP1 scheduled for install Monday morning. However, we have been running a lot of tests. We are testing mainly in Chrome and IE 9 browsers.
    I was able to get 2 users back up and working. Not sure what fixed them, but I had them log into the server and test there. Accessing the web portal on the server worked for them and when they went back to their laptops their full capabilities
    were working there again. I have since removed their rdp access to the server and the capabilities are still working correctly on their laptops.
    However, I have a 3rd user that I had log into the server and updating and creating new work items did not work for him. This is the error he receives when opening a work item. This user did try testing in Mozilla one day this week.

  • Single work item in the Manager's inbox for weeks times

    Hi all,
    I am sure lot of people might have faced this issue.
    Currently we are on EP 6 SP 20
    R/3 4.7
    MSS B.P 60.1
    <b>Scenario</b>: Employee enters times in ESS through CATS. MAnagers ened to approve time
    WF assigned to CATS: 20000460
    <b>Issue:</b> Every time an employee saves his time ( CATS profile set to release times on save, a work item is triggered and the manager sees 5 work item for each mployee for the 5 days. Manager sees too many work items in his inbox. The employees have been advised to save times on a daily basis.
    <b>Possible solutions</b> Define cats profile to release the times manually. In that case the employee will have to release the times every Friday. We doubt that employees might forget to release the times and hence we want to use release on save for CATS profile.
    <b>Question:</b> IS it in any way possible to trigger only one work item for week rather than 5 work items even when having release on save opition selected for the CATS profile.
    please advise

  • Attach a doc file to work item

    Hi,
    We have scenario in which we have to attach a document file to a work item of a workflow. The workflow is triggered by a Function Module (FM). The document file to be attached is place in the file system of the R/3 system. The FM provides the file name to the workflow. Please tell us how to attach a file to a work item?
    Also we are triggering the FM from an Enterprised Portal screen, so we cant use any transaction (T codes).
    We are trying to implement this using an SOFM object but no success. Please give the solution in detail as Im new to workflows.
    Regards,
    Piyush.

    Hi,
    We are triggering the FM from EP screen so no transaction screen would be available.
    Alternatively we have done the following:
    First we have placed the document file in a folder of the application server. Then an FM reads the file using OPEN DATASET and stores it in an internal table of type binary. Now using SWL__SOFM_CREATE_WITH_TABLE we are generating a key and this key is passed to the SOFM object, which is used to generate container element for attachment. The attachment is visible in the work item but when we try to open the attachment, microsoft word giving the following error:
    "the document may be corrupt or damaged. Use either the Recover Text converter or the Open and Repair feature. Both are available from the Open dialog. The Recover Text converter is in the Files of type: drop down and the Open and Repair feature is available from the Open button (select the down arrow and not the button itself)."
    We assume that  there is some problem while reading and converting the document file to binary and vise a versa. Is there any other way to keep it consistent and it works fine.
    Regards,
    Piyush.
    ps: the document files are the candidate's resume.

  • UWL work items

    Hi,
    There are UWL work items and when a user selects a workitem to process, UWL opens up a new window when you choose an item.
    It should go to the item in same window and when complete take you back to the UWL, where the item completed should no longer display in the list.
    Please advice further - Thanks
    Regards, Neeta

    Hi ,
    check the below thread.
    download standard uwl configuration xml file and check the property related to newwindow feauture and set it to false.
    then it will open in same window rather than new window
    check example code in that which used to open in new window
    UWL - open item in new window
