Agent assignment & Attribute for workflow template level.

Hi Friends;
As per my understanding we maintain Agent assignment at WF template level to provide security to WF task level so that the possible agents maintained there are only authorized for that task,
and if we maintain it as general task then every one is able to execute it.
But my concern is wht will happen if we wont do agent assignment at WF level and also not make it general task.
Regards
Dev

Hi Dev,
If you do not maintain the agent assignment at WF task level ( for the task which are not general task ), those users will not receive any work item.
For example user XXX is determined by some rule but he will not receive the work item until user XXX maintained at WF task level.
Thanks

Agent assignment problem for activity in workflow

Hi Experts,
I have created an activity task for calling MM02 transaction in my workflow. I need to send this workitem to multiple people. I am using an expression in the place of agent assignment available in Control tab of the task. Now this assignment is not recognized by workflow, it shows error "Task TS90000070 has no agent assignment. Please suggest how to fix it, or if there is any other method available to send workitem to multiple people. Note: I am not using standard organizational management feature here.
Thanks,
Ashok

Hi Ashok,
It seems you have not assigned possible agent for this task. Please follow these steps.
Execute PFTC transaction and take 90000070 in change mode.
Now goto Additional Data -> Agent Assignment -> Maintain.
This will take you to another screen where you can find the task 90000070. Click on the first button (Create Agent Assignment) on the application toolbar. This way you can assign an agent if you are using organizational management.
If not, then make it as a general task. For this click on the 'Attributes' button and select the 'General task'.
Hope this is helpful.
Thanks

In a Real time project what would be the agent assignment attribute setting

Dear Experts,
I have never worked on a workflow project. I have been only practising workflow on a IDES system. I would like to know in a real live production system what settings do we use when we define the agent assignment at the task level? Do we set the attribute as GENERAL TASK always?
To be more specific as in the task attributes we have many options like
GENERAL TASK
GENERAL FORWARDING ALLOWED,
GENERAL FORWARDING NOT ALLOWED AND
FORWARDING NOT ALLOWED.
From the first three options which is most generally used in a real time projects?
AND
is it necessary to always set the attribute as GENERAL TASK before transporting the workflow definition to other systems from the development system?
appreciate your help on the same.
cheers

Hello Learner,
It depends on the requirement, but in most of the cases we assign the task as general task.
To have some more information on the various attributes,
·        General task
If you define a task as a general task, all users can execute the task. This is useful if the task is used in a workflow and you only want to define the recipients in the step definition. A recipient can forward associated work items to all users.
Work items whose tasks are defined as general tasks and for which no responsible agents or default rules are defined are offered to all users of the SAP System for execution in their Business Workplaces.
·        General forwarding allowed
A work item that represents a task with this property can be forwarded by one of its recipients to all users, even if they are not possible agents of the task.
·        General forwarding not allowed
A work item that represents a task with this property can be forwarded by one of its recipients only to the possible agents of the task.
·        Forwarding not allowed
A work item that represents a task with this property cannot be forwarded by one of its recipients.
Hope this will help.

Sam

Assignment of Travel Workflow for ESS

Hi,
If i'm using a customized workflow for travel in ess and not the standard workflow WS20000050, where do I make the assignment for it?

Hi Sandeep
After deactivating Standard workflow WS20000050,and activating your customized workflow, you have to assign agents for your custom workflow. Select agent assignement icon in the application tool bar(Red colour icon). Select the template and goto Attribute button, choose General task. After this Agent assignment only your workflow will get triggered.
Then refresh your buffer memory in SWU_OBUF.

Agent assignment for task

Hi,
I have copied the standard task TS00008267( Generic Decicion Task) into another task. But when i use the new task, it says no agent assignment.
when I looked into agent assignment mentioned for TS00008267( Generic Decicion Task), it has got "Demo workflows" and "Records Management" as 2 task groups maintained in it.
How can I add these 2 inside my own created task which is a copy of TS00008267 ?
I am new to the workflow concepts. Any help is aprreciated and rewarded.
Regds
Gautam

You don't need to add those task groups, but you should make it a generic decision task.
1) Go to PFTC, open your copied task in change mode
2) Select menu item "Additonal data", "Agent assignment", "Maintain".
3) Select the top line in the screen (there is probably only one), the one that has the ID of your task (TS 9nnnnnnn) and press the button "Attributes" (or select menu item "Edit", "Attributes")
4) Select the radio button "General Task"
5) Close dialog box, F3 out to the main menu
Done. ... Unless the task was already a general task. Then there is something else wrong.

How to find a Transport Request no for Task or Workflow Template

Hi All,
Any body tell me.
How to find a Transport Request No for Task or Workflow Template.
Thanks,
Lakhshmi.

Hi.
Next to the options already mentioned you can also try transaction SE03.
Select: Search for objects in Requests/Tasks.
Next, fill an empty line with the objectnumber you want to search (don't forget the checkbox).
For workflow tasks use the object type PDTS, for workflow templates use PDWS.
Kind regards,

Agent assignment procedure

Dear Experts,
I have made agent assignment in my workflow. But when I transport the workflow from development to quality server I see that I have to manually enable agent assignment by making tasks as general. Is this the right way to make tasks or general in each server or can it be handled via any transport request. Please let me know the best procedure for making tasks as general.
KR,
Bharath

This is because the Agent assignment is client dependent, so you have one more option to come over this try to do like below.
1. OPen Txn RE_RHMOVE30 and mention the Plan version as 01 and Object as TS/WS TS - Standard task WS - Workflow template, mention the object key as the ID's of the task and templates.
2. Select the check box Transport Objects at the botton of the screen and disable the Check boxes test and with Lock.
3. Click F8, select all the entires and then click on the button Transport then system will prompt for a customizing req. please select the request and then again select all check boxes of all the entries and then select all entires in the list and then click the button transport & Delete.
so now what you can do is yu can port this request to other system, once it is ported the agent assignment is also made general
but before doing all the aobve activities make sure in the Dev system you made all the tasks and templates as general , other wise there will no use of performing the above steps.

"Workflow Template Create" screen appears while executing the work item.

Hi,
I am learning the workflow. I have created a test workflow in which there is a user decision step and 2 mail sending steps for the outcomes of the user decision.The workflow is activated properly . When I excute the workflow the screen for "Workflow Template Create" opens everytime. When I go to the Business workpkace a mail is there in my inbox with the title as given in the user decision step. Again when i am trying to execute the work item in the inbox again the same screen for "Workflow Template create " is opening. I am totaly confused with this problem . Pls suggest what might be the reason..?

I think the Wflow Template Creation screen is not opening but your current session is getting closed so the previous session which is Wflow Create one which you have already opened is appearing. Please check your template design and act accordingly.
Thanks

SAP Workflow Template Changes

Hi Experts,
I have a custom Workflow template that needs some changes.
- Change in the BO method code of an existing standard task of this template
- Addition of elements in the main container of this template
- Changing the container bindings for email steps / edit email
How should I go about doing these changes, please advise
- Once I open the template in SWDD, is it advisable to goto Menu Workflow->Generate Version or directly edit the template and save.
Which is the best practice / difference it makes ?
- Any specific order that I need to follow while changing the different template components
- While transporting the TR for workflow templates, what should be taken care of ?
In Production system, version is 0003 and in Dev it is 0004, both with the same dates.
Also pls provide any link/document that can guide on the workflow change process, it would be great.
Thanks in advance for your time and inputs !

Mirza.

MIRO: Activate Workflow template for Price Blocking

Dear Friends,
I am in the process of configuring WF for the Price block at the time of posting of invoices.
I maintain the following setting in customizing:
Logistics Invoice Verification->Invoice Block->Activate Workflow Template->TG 20000030 Assign agents to tasks->WS 20000397 Treatment of inv. blkd for price, Log.IV->TS 20000661 At least 1 item blocked for price reas.?
Now for this task, I want to assign the PO creator. I do not want to assign Agent as a specific SAP user. It should be the generic user who creates the PO.
Business Requirement: A mail should be sent to purchaser, when the invoice is blocked for price reasons.
Please Advise.
With Kind Regards
Faisal

Friends,
I want to set a deadline monitoring for a case when the approver doesnt execute the workitem even after 2days. (so I believe I need to use "Requested Start")?
Further I understand how this is done, my question is can we do change it to the standard template or do I need to copy it and then make the changes.
Also Kindly share some information on using SRM ALERTS for the same functionality to send reminders/alets to approvers on delay of approving task.
Thank you so much.
