About Workflows, urgent

Hi all,
Can any one tell me how to create workflows? Now I have a situation where I need to pass Business partner no., contract account no., and amount rejects to customers inbox. I know a bit about triggering workflow through function module SWW_WI_START_SIMPLE, but now I need to create workflow. If you have any documentation on workflows please send it to me. Please treat this as urgent.
Thanks & Regards,
Venkat.

SAP Business Workflow can be used to define business processes that are not yet mapped in the R/3 System. These may be simple release or approval procedures, or more complex business processes such as creating a material master and the associated coordination of the departments involved. SAP Business Workflow is particularly suitable for situations in which work processes have to be run through repeatedly, or situations in which the business process requires the involvement of a large number of agents in a specific sequence.
Features
SAP Business Workflow provides a number of tools for defining and analyzing workflows as well as for monitoring operation.
The Workflow Builder is for displaying and making changes to workflows. You can make small extensions directly to the original workflows supplied by SAP, such as carrying out your own agent assignments or changing deadline monitoring.
There are several Workflow Wizards to support you in the definition of workflows, with which you can create specific parts of a workflow. The Workflow Wizard Explorer gives you an overview of the existing Workflow Wizards.
In order to make the functions of the R/3 Systems available to a workflow, you use business objects, which you can define and analyze in the Business Object Builder. These business objects are made available to the workflow in reusable tasks. The Business Wizard Explorer gives you an overview of all existing tasks.
You can also use SAP Business Workflow to respond to errors and exceptions in other, existing business processes. You can start a workflow when predefined events occur, for example an event can be triggered if particular errors are found during an automatic check.

About workflow problem in 4.6C for PR

Hello Expert:
i met a quesiton about the workflow for PR in 4.6C.
the detail is as following.
The requestor created a PR for waiting for approve, there are 3 approvor to handle the PR.
maybe the second approvor modified the quantity or amount of the PR before release, but system seems can't trigger the new workflow to go back to first approver in 4.6C. So once the second approvor released the modified PR, then the PR will go to next approver. Now my requirement is to hope the workflow can get back to start point for waiting for approval. or could i close the PR completely.
even i am cancelled the PR, the purchasing group can generate new PO with the cancelled PR as well.
Did you face the same problem in 4.6C workflow?
hope to get your help
Thanks in advance
Kevin

Hello Kevin,
you can find this setting in the customizing tree:
I assume that you're using purchase requisition item based released based on classification
MM>Purch.>Req>Rel.Proc.>with class. -->Set up procedure with classification
Push "Release indicator"
Select the release indicator that blocks your PO (e.g. X blocked)
Using the SAP Standard only you have the following two choices that makes the most sense:
- Changebility = 1 i.e. cannot be changed
- Changebility = 4 and Value change = 0,00   i.e. changeable and new release on value change
The first option locks the requisition for any changes at all, forcing your purchasing group to re-create the PR once it should be changed.
The second option allows any change, but when the value is touched in any way (+/- 0%) all previously given release codes will be reset making the release all-over again.
I tip that the second option is the one you're looking for.
If both option are not workable for your requirement, you have to create an additional event (as one of the previous contributors Aditya already mentioned), which could be restricted to the fields that you want your requisition to reset with.
Then you have to throw in an event coupling where you use as a receiver event function module a custom-made function module that runs through the release codes of the requisition to reset all releases. This is done using the function module BAPI_REQUISITION_RESET_RELEASE. If you're choosing this way, I propose that you go a bit forward and open a new thread. But I remember that I was proposing this solution a couple of months ago. So maybe searching the forum could be a good idea then.
With the very best wishes,
   Florin

Purchase order release workflow - urgent

Hi friends
When iam creating purchase order it trigger the workflow WS20000075 for releasing purchase order in that purpose what can i do..
How can i set the Agents
How can i trigger the events - i think in that purpose using pftc we trigger the workflow.. so i need clear steps from beginning onwards..
my exact requirement
once i create purchase order, the workflow will be triggered..
after that the mail goes to the approver.. if he/she click that mail purchase order release statement want to be open.. after that he/she release purchase order it will goes to the next level..anyone give the step by step procedure..for that
Thanks
Gowrishankar

yes prabakar.. but iam confused..
You can get step by step workflow for PO using standard workflow
Release of Purchase Order :WS20000075
And for two levels of approvals you have to configure in SPRO the path is
Purchase Order:
SPRO> Material Management->Purchasing->/Purchase order-->Release procedure ---> Procedure with classification ---> set up procedure with classification ---> double click on Release strategies and Workflow.
If you don't know about this configuration, you have to confirm with your MM consultant.
after finish this iam triggering events using pftc
in that pftc iam choosing business object bus 2012 for po release..
i think thats enuf..
After that it is possible to trigger workflow.. when iam create purchase order..
Thanks
Gowrishankar

Please help me about Workflow

sir/mam,i am new for workflow,will any one give me guidence for how i will start with workflow ..please help me about this topic....?

Somnath,
Your question is very vague. What do you mean by new to Workflow?
Workflow can be defined as
A workflow is a reliably repeatable pattern of activity enabled by a systematic organization of resources, defined roles and mass, energy and information flows, into a work process that can be documented and learned. Workflows are always designed to achieve processing intents of some sort, such as physical transformation, service provision, or information processing.
Workflows are closely related to other concepts used to describe organizational structure, such as silos, functions, teams, projects, policies and hierarchies. Workflows may be viewed as one primitive building block of organizations. The relationships among these concepts are described later in this entry.

High-level info about "workflow" in WLI

I'm looking for some high-level information about how WebLogic or WebLogic Integration
implements "workflow" functionality. I'm starting to pore through the WLI documentation,
but I'm having trouble finding concise high-level statements that talk about how
WLI supports or implements "workflow" functionality. Could someone point me to
a documentation roadmap that spells out these features?

You have to implement the method "applicationShouldOpenUntitledFile:" to respond "NO" in the Application delegate (see NSApplication class reference).
The MyDocument nib is loaded by the default NSDocumentController of the Application which is send a "newDocument:" message at startup.

Create Material Master using workflow (urgent)

Hello all,
We have an urgent client requirement to create material master using workflow.
Different views for the material master will be created by the relevant departments.
ex: Accouting 1, 2 will go to accounts deptt.
I have studied the workflow tutorial (20 units) on SAP help for leave of absence and have some understanding of objects, methods, bindings etc
I am however finding it very difficult to define the steps to create a workflow for material master. Are there any standard steps already defined that i can use.
Any help/inputs will be greatly appreciated.
Regards
S. Datar

Hi,
You need to speak to a workflow consultant.
You can get workflow to do many things (including creating a material master) but it takes a lot of coding and design.
For those of you who think that workflow is just used for the standard SAP workflow tasks, you have to realise that workflow is far more powerful and far more useful than many people think.
It is always referred to as "Event triggered messaging" but it is more accurate to call it "Event triggered events".
Within workflow you can chain together many different transactions and or ABAPS and so you can get it to do virtually anything you want (as long as you know how).
In this case you need the workflow to trigger an ABAP or BTCI session etc. that works through the MM01 transaction. It is relatively easy to get it to do this, but I am not technical enough to be able to help with the steps involved (sorry)

Email ID truncating during Workflow -- URGENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dear Friends,
Work flow is configured during the PO Creation. The issue is EMAIL Address is getting truncated when the address is more than 30 Characters.
Can anyone help me in solving this issue.
Thanks in Advance,
Shankar

See the <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/communityguidelines">Community Guidelines</a> for information about how you should ask a question (the section called Forum Rules of Engagement) to increase the likelihood of getting the best answers - that in turn will solve your problem sooner.
One guideline is as already mentioned by Martin that the level of urgency is not very relevant for the rest of us here. If anything you should quietly mention in the text what your deadline is. With all the exclamation marks you have used I assume it is now too late for you, but for the benefit of people who search the forum for a solution before posting a question I will still follow up the question.
Another guideline is that you must give sufficient information about your problem to increase the chance that someone recognizes, or becomes intrigued by, your problem.
Sorry, but I do not understand what your problem is. You are saying that the e-mail address is getting truncated. Which e-mail address? Which workflow?
Are you using WS20000075? That workflow does not take an e-mail address from the triggering event, or indeed in the container. It does send e-mail, but the workflow initiator is used as recipient, so no e-mail address there either. I therefore believe you must be using a different workflow, but I have no idea which one.
In general, if you are having truncation problems, you need to check the data flow (bindings and programs involved if any). Somewhere along the chain you have char(30) or equivalent data field that is used to hold the e-mail address.

Hi Sudhir J :
When I am looking for Workflow standards, that's what I do:
Maybe is not the easiest solution but it work's for me
1.- Go to the transaction SWETYPV.
In that transaction you can see all the buses and workflow that the system has.
Is the relation between the bus and WF.
You have to make a list of all the buses that you have there.
2.- in the transaction SWO1 you can check for what is each bus and then you can choose which WF is going to work.
3.- In the transaction SWDD is the transaction for building WF you can enter the standard WF and look how is build. I recommend that if you are going to make some changes make a copy of the WF and work in the copy.
If you have any question, you can ask.
Best Regards
Jessica

Can't find Expense Report process in Find Process in Workflow - Urgent

Hi,
I have a submitted expense report. I tried to search for the Expense Report number in the Find Process window in Workflow administrator responsibility.
But it did not give me any result. When I query ap_expense_report_headers_all using below query for the same Expense Report number, i got the data.
select * from ap_expense_report_headers_all where invoice_num = 'WEX308147'
Then i tried searching for the notifications recieved by the Approver of the Expense Report. Enter Approver Name in TO Field in Find Notifications window in Workflow Administrator resp. But no notifications are available in that approver list.
When i query in the APPS.wf_notifications table for notification from this process, i could find that the notification is in closed status.
Can some one help with the pointers, why the Expense Report is not displayed in Find Process window and Notification is not displayed in the Find Notifications window?
Regards
Ram

Try using the Status Monitor in the Workflow Administrator
use APEXP as the 'Type Internal Name'
change the 'Workflow Started' to 'Today'
The item Key for your workflow should be the expense report number, pick yours and drilldown in to the workflow to see where you it is waiting.
