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.

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.

  • Agent Assignment for tasks

    Hi,
    i have created a ECM WF.
    Now i wanna do d "Agent Assignment"
    Requrement is if User A checks the ECR then User B shud approve it.
    If user X checks the ECR then User Y shud approve it and so on.
    Thus my requirement is Hierarchy based i.e. depending on the departments hierarchy.
    Can anybody tell me how to achieve this.
    Rgds & Thanks

    Hi,
    If your requirement is in such a way that....
    for user X .... user Y is the approver
    for user A..... user B is the approver,
    then you can use the concept of Rule with responsibilities where in which you can find the approver based on a particular condition. The documentation to create the same can be found from the link below from help.sap.com

  • WorfFlow Agent Assignment at Task Level...

    Hi,
    I have problem in Workflow agent assignment...
    In agent assignment at Task (MM Invoices Parked/Posted) level, I have assigned a position(Account Payable)to AC Role...
    Under this position, there are 8 users....
    In the Workflow process,At this task level the work item is going to only one person inbox not all these 8 users...
    Can you please advise me, where I was wrong...
    Warm Regards,
    Thirupathi....

    Hi Thirupathi,
    There are a couple of things you can try:
    - Agent assignment gets buffered in HR, normally refreshed at midnight. Use txn SWU_OBUF to refresh them manually.
    - Are all agents also possible agents of the task or is the task defined as a general task?
    - (just adding the obvious) make sure your task is in status READY, else it would have been reserved by someone.
    Cheers

    Hi ,
    Try assigning a new Agent Rule in the Task TS20000166.
    You will have to create a custom rule using transaction PFAC. Choose option "F - Agent dertermination function to be executed" and assign a new Z function module which will determine your agent.
    You can refer to function module ME_REL_GET_RESPONSIBLE while creating your own function module.
    Cheers!!!

    plese find my sugestion.
    1. In any of the previous steps, find the approver name.Pass that approver name from the 'METHOD' to TASK container.from TASK Container to the WORKFLOW Container
    2. Then in the current step, Bind the 'APPROVER_NAME' to the TASK, and then to the 'METHOD'.
    3. now u can use the APPROVER_NAME inside the method.
    hope u r clear, if not pls lets know.

  • Agent Assignment Missing

    Hi Experts,
    I have created a custom workflow which has a user decision step. We have used a rule for agent assignment and we have also maintained General task: can be edited by all users. We have implemented deadline monitoring for this step.
    When we moved this workflow to QA, agent assignment (General task: can be edited by all users) was not transported.
    Now when we executed the workflow, agent was not determined, but still deadline emails were triggered.
    Is this correct ? Shouldnt the workflow go into an Error state as no agent was determined ?
    Note: I know that we can transport agent assignment using RE_RHMOVE30.
    Thanks.

    Requested start states , when the workitem must be  sent to user's inbox, In Simple, it mentions after how much interval of time the workitem will in the user's inbox
    In your case after 3 Mins of.... (check it)  the workitem will be in the user's inbox,
    and coming to Latest End  , it is a grace period to user to act on the workitems, if user does not act on the workitem then this deadline is reached, in your case teh suer has give one day , if he does not act on the workitem with in one day the deadline is reached.

  • Agent Assignment showing error "Please position the cursor correctly"

    Hi Friends,
    I have a strange problem that has come up suddently in the development client. The "Agent Assignment" which was happening earlier is not working anymore. Instead it is showing an information message "Please position the cursor correctly". I am doing the agent assignment the same way i used to do it earlier but its not happening. I tried changing the agent assignment for most of the task types including the "Activity" task, "Decision" task. But nothing seems to work....
    The agent assignment is happening in Sandbox client but not in Development client.
    Is it some BASIS side settings ?? What may be the exact cause ??
    Please help.
    Thanks,
    Shashank Shirali

    You do not have the proper authorization to do the agent Assignment. Take a SU53 dump and you will find our which authorization is missing and ask the Security folks to provide the authorization.
    Thanks

  • Agent Assignment in Workflow

    If anyone had worked on customizing the WF for Changed Sub profile, WS1200124, please tell me how to configure the role for the standard task: 1200191, Abbreviation: PDVDispProfi .
    I need to use this task for two purposes, one to show to the owner of the profile and second to the manager of the owner of the profile.
    I tried giving the rules 01200025 for Employee and 01200024 for the manager in agent assignment for the tasks, but the workflow hangs at these tasks.
    If I hardcode the agent to some user, it works fine.
    Any suggestion on what would have gone wrong?
    Is something to be activated at the rule level?
    Thanks in Advance.

    Hi Mikko,
    I work on ECC5 system.
    Your answer solves half of my issue.
    I assign an Expression with &EMPLOYEE& as the agent to task and this sends the mail to the employee.
    the Work Item Subject says "Your Dev. Profile has been change".
    Now, I also need to send the same mail to the supervisor of the employee.
    Here, The workitem text should be "Dev. Profile has been changed for the Employee<b> XYZ</b>".
    So, I cloned the task TS01200191 to TS900001,
    changed the text accordingly and
    created a container element "PERSON"
    inserted this element as a variable in the text.
    I need to pass this PERSON to the task in the binding from workflow.
    This PERSON should be created in the workflow container and filled.
    Please confirm if this procedure works or if there is a better one.
    Thanks.

  • BPM User decision Agent assignment

    I am working on User decision steps in BPM. I have added Configurable Parameter in Integration Process but after importing it into ID, I am not able to assign any user in parameters. Once I put the value and save/activate, value got cleared out.

    Click workflow  log (use any of the log transactions, swi1, swi2_freq swi6 etc)
    click list with technical details, shift+F9
    find the step, click on it and tick the tab container.
    But if you could just answer my previous question about how you are sending the mail, because if you directly use email address then it is of course impossible to use that as agent assignment for the user decision.
    A user decision is ultimately sent to a user id
    Kind regards, Rob Dielemans

  • Extended Notification not working for Dialog Task with agent assignment

    Hi Friends,
    I have an issue where I have a user decision step and a sub workflow contains a dialog task with agent assignment.
    Extended notification is configured properly and is working properly for user decision step but its not working for the dialog task created as an activity.
    Batch jobs are configured to run report SWN_SELSEN.
    I was checking SDN and found this discussion handy :
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw73ehp1/helpdata/en/4f/3bed495cc018c8e10000000a42189e/content.htm
    One thing that wonders me is that notifications show up in SOST 4-5 seconds before the user decision step starts execution.
    See screenshot from SOST and WF log.
    SOST log :
    2 questions here: Why is notification not being sent for Dialog task?
                              Why is user decision notification being sent that early even before the User decision task starts execution?
    Please provide your valuable inputs.
    Regards,
    Sandip

    An activity step with agents is supported by the extended notifications if it is a decision task or not, I have used it many times and it works well just no approval/rejection links if it's not a decision task.
    From your screenshot you can see that a mail has been created and is found in SOST, usually this cases are problems with the mail server or connection to it, check the mail settings in the SMTP node in transaction SCOT, also check with mail server team if there is a block to/from the SAP server.
