Approval Workitem removed from Agent Inbox

Dear All WF Experts,
scenario:
Let say Agent A and Agent B are sent a work item.
If Agent A has executed the work item in SBWP previously, the work item is removed from Agent B's inbox (And the status is changed to 'STARTED'). However, the work item is not processed yet.
Is there anyway to make the work item stays in the inbox until either agent approved the work item?
I Know:
(As soon as any user executes a workitem the workitem get's reserved for the user irrespective of it's completion.
If the user wants to send it back to all recepients, he can select "replace" in the tool bar to redetermine the agents and put back to all recepients inbox).
I dont think usage of Fork can resolve the issue , since the users are not fixed(I mean there can be any no. of Approvers, so i cant put fixed number of steps in FORK).
Question :
Is there any way by which Reserve status(In process status)) can be changed to Ready status without enduser doing anything.
Thanks in all advances.

Hi Ronen ,
I Applied the SAP Note :1676067 - Automatic replacement of work items.
Created Table , domain and DataElements also for Manual entries Also .
While maintaining the Dialog Maintainence entries maintained are Asynchronous , 0 , 0 .
And scheduled the job.
But still it is not changing the status from Inprocess to Ready for workitems .
Can you suggest what else is supposed to be checked or maintained .
Thanks in Advance.

Incomplete Approval Work Item Removed from Agent Inbox

Dear All WF Experts,
I noticed this strange scenario:
Let say Agent A and Agent B are sent a work item.
If Agent A has executed the work item in SBWP previously, the work item is removed from Agent B's inbox (And the status is changed to 'STARTED'). However, the work item is not processed yet.

Thanks Arghadip for your response. Sorry for my blunt question.
Actually, the Agent A and Agent B are the approvers for PR approval by position (Agent A and Agent B are the users in the mentioned position).
Thus, when a PR is raised, both Agent A and Agent B received the same PR work item.
If Agent A execute the work item but does not release the PR, the work item still remains in Agent A's inbox as there is no terminating event. So, based on the logic, in Agent B's inbox, the work item should still be there because the work item is not fully processed yet (no terminating event takes place).
But, now, from what I saw, as long as any of the responsible agents executed (started) the work item, even if they do not release it, the work item is removed from all other agents' inbox and only remain in the inbox of the agent who first executed the work item.
I interpreted this as there is at least one agent already view the work item and know the existence of the PR to be approved, thus the other agents do not need to bother about the PR anymore. But, is my interpretation correct? And is there anyway to make the work item stay in the inbox of all approvers until there is one terminating event?
Thank you so much.

Workitem is not removed from User Inbox

Hi,
There is requirement, when the PR is created by user, first it has to go his department Head and then to Manager, AGM, GM, etc. There are different departments.
I'm maintaining organizational structure and giving positions in Release Strategy. Now how can i know who has created and to whom it has to go first. Shall i create different release strategy for that ?? Or is there any other way ??
And i tried to create custom workflow and using two release steps instead of one. And giving Rule in my first release step. And in second release step i'm using the strategy. When i create the PR and release, it is not removing from User Inbox.
Do anyone know what could be the problem ??

Hi,
From your requirement, its not a good idea to have all department heads assigned to a single position.
But, you can have different positons for different departments and the association between department and the corresponding position number can be maintained in ztable. Then have a custom rule based on function module which will make a call to this ztable and find the corresponding postion given the department of user, get this position out and use it as agent assignment in step. However to use above first you should be able to find the Deparment to which a given user belongs to.
the position that you are talking about in your question, is it a position with relevance to HR structure or is it just that you have created for workflow purpose. In general its a good idea to have bit strong dependency with HR structure rather than going for workflow specific positions. If your position is a HR position then probably with bit of reengineering the HR organization structure with respect to your departments would be good and with a good design of org structure you can also get rid of any new custom table to maintain the relation between department and corresponding position.
Good Luck !!

ooops !! many replies came in while drafting this mail itself, i guess rule using custom table already tried !!

Deleted message not removed from iPhone Inbox

Since updating my iPhone 3G to 4.01 I have found that when I delete messages from the inbox the messages are not completely removed from the inbox. I am left with a blank unread message. The only way I can completely delete is to turn the phone off and restart. Is anybody else having this problem? I have also found that I lose service in places I have been able to use the phone.

Launch workitems from Agent inbox with Webflow customizing

Hi all,
I am looking for a definite answer to the following:
Is it possible (in CRM 4.0) to process Workflow workitems that have a webflow linked from the Agent Inbox in the Webclient.
I have set up the customizing in the inbox and the workitems appear, but the system doesn't take the fact that there is a webservice id (linked to the webflow) linked to the workitem. The webclient tries to navigate to the Email view.
Can anyone confirm me that indeed the webflow workitems cannot be triggered from within the Agent Inbox?
Thanks
Micha

Hi Micha
Did you get this one working?
Thx,Sai

Delete emails from server when removed from phone inbox

I want my server (Verizon Yahoo) to trash and delete messages when I trash or delete them on my 5s. I have gone into my Verizon account on the phone, made sure Trash was selected rather than Archive, selected "Delete from server..."when removed from inbox"", restarted, etc. Everything else works in the account, and when I delete on the server, it is deleted on the phone. I want emails to delete from the server when I remove them from the phone's inbox. Supposed to happen, but doesn't.

Thanks for the reply. I wasn't very clear, I guess. What I want to do is Trash or Trash>Delete emails on my iPhone 5s and have them go away from the inbox on my Verizon/Yahoo server. That does not happen now, even though I have set the setting on my phone to do so. All the stuff in my inbox on the server reappears the next time my phone inquires, including the emails I've sent to Trash (on the phone) and those I've Trash>Deleted there. Not too worried about permanent, real, NSA-type deletion, because that just isn't going to happen - I am worried about the poor agent at NSA who has to read my boring, mundane emails, though. I just don't want to see stuff I've Deleted from my phone's inbox come back to the inbox. Zombiemail!

Items are not removed from Workflow Inbox

Hi all,
Im having problem with our workflow. Below are the details
SCENARIO:
User A creates a PR. The PR is then forwarded to user B for approval. Once the PR is approved by user B, it is forwarded back to user A for notification purposes. User A then executes the PR and it is automatically forwarded to user C for processing.
THE PROBLEM:
When user B approves the PR, his/her inbox should be cleared once the PR is forwarded to user A. The problem is that, out of the 45 line items present in the PR, only 38 lines were cleared from the inbox. The remaining 7 items were retained. However, when we try to view the PR from user A, there are 45 line items and they are complete.
QUESTION:
What causes the 7 line items to be retained in user A's inbox? How do we clear them?
Any output will be highly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
The user B approved the PR accessing the transaction SBWP or via PR transaction directly?
If via PR transaction directly, then your workflow needs a Wait Event step.

Remove Workitem Attachment from Outlook Inbox

Hi, Workflowers,
I would like to know, if possible can I remove 2 of the attachments. I think normally you have 3 attachments in the user's outlook inbox: for going to the SAP inbox, for displaying the work item, and for executing the work item. I would like to remove the attachment for displaying the work item and the one for the SAP inbox.
Is it possible to also customise the Missed Deadline mail subject so that it doesn't have the 'Missed Deadline...' part?
Thanks in advance.
Darlington

The text I am talking about is not the text in the Description tab of the PFTC transaction. I am fine with that. What I am concerned about is the standard text that appears in the outlook e-mail after the Description as follows:
"Open the SAP shortcut attachment in order to process the work item.
If you have any problems logging on, contact your system administrator."
And the message subject saying for example "Missed Deadline:...."
I know that when you run the report RSWUWFML2 under the block "Standard Text for Notification", there is a message class for the mail Subject "SWU_NOTIF" Message Number 2, which has &1: &2 in transaction SE91. How can I determine the text in these variables during runtime (In fact, I would like to Hard-code this text)
After I select "Collective Message" in the "Send granularity" block I have removed SWU_NOTIF_PROLOG1 for "Before Work Item Description" so that the standard text:
"Your Workflow inbox in the SAP system DEV, client 100, contains the following work item:"
does not appear in the outlook mail since I don't need it.
But I have not removed the SWU_NOTIF_EPILOG1. I would like to know how I can edit the text:
"Open the SAP shortcut attachment in order to process the work item.
If you have any problems logging on, contact your system administrator."
which I believe is the one involved with SWU_NOTIF_EPILOG1.

Darlington

Help: PReqs blocked by requestor not removed from approvers Inbox.

Hi Everyone,
We have implemented a Release Strategy with classification for PR Approval. Currently the client is complaining that PReqs that have been put into blocked status by the requestor are still appearing in the approvers WF Inbox. Is there a way to remove such PRs from the approvers inbox?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,

Yahoo mail not removed from inbox ios7

I have an iPhone 4s with ios 7.0.2. I have 2 different yahoo accounts that are showing the same issue. If I delete or move an email from my yahoo inbox on my PC either via web or mail client, they still show in the inbox on my iPhone. Even if I manually update the accounts (swipe down) they still are there. I have tried waiting 10-15 minutes with the same result. If I use the task manager to close mail and then re start it, they immediately are removed from the inbox. Has anyone else noticed this issue?

Check whether the same happens if Preferences > Accounts > Advanced > Remove copy from server is OFF, i.e. if messages aren’t supposed to be removed from the server at all. I’ve seen it reported in other cases that messages were removed from the server even with that setting OFF, but it ended up being a server issue that happened when using other mail clients as well — and IIRC it also was a Yahoo account...
Try disabling the account in Mail (i.e. turn OFF Preferences > Accounts > Advanced > Enable this account), or just don’t run Mail at all, set up the account in another mail client such as Thunderbird, and see what happens.
If you set up the account in Thunderbird, refuse to download anything when asked to do so immediately afterwards (so that you can customize the server settings first), then in the account’s Server Settings turn ON Leave messages on server if you don’t want the messages to be removed from the server as a result of downloading them with Thunderbird. If messages that you would like to have in Mail end up being removed from the server nevertheless, you may use Eudora Mailbox Cleaner to import them from Thunderbird into Mail.

Typical issue while approving workitems from SBWP.

Hello All,
I have an issue while approving workitems massivley from SBWP. I think we can approve bunch of workitems which corresponds to a single task at once.
But for me iam not able to approve all the related workitems at once. When i select and try approve , it asks me to approve one at a time ( i get screen by screen) . Where some are able to approve at once, i verified my user settings with them and every thing seems to be normal ( Parametes of SU01D).
What could be the reason, please suggest.Its very important for me.
Regards
Mahesh.

Hi,
Sometimes mass approvals are needed. At my client there is a rule that ALL refunds need to be approved by a person - they cannot go out automatically.
So we allow multiple (small-value) refunds to be selected by one user and approved en-masse. It works quite well in SBWP.
As for the problem being discussed, if it works for one user, it should work for all. Are there differences in authorizations between the users?
cheers
Paul

Unique workitem in multiple users inbox. ?

Hi,
Please help me I have a peculiar case ,
I am having a work item if deadline is reached the same work item should appear in two other users. It means 3 users should be able to view the same work item, if any one user attempts to approve the workitem remaining users should have workitem removed from their respective users inbox.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards,
Krishna Mukthineni

Hi ,
In your deadline branch put a task and use a rule for the deadline agent.
In this rule populate the three actors so all of them will get the new deadline task.
For removing the task when one of them executes, It is taken care by SAP and you dont have to do anything.

Hi,
That really doesn't sound normal behaviour at all. I think you should check if SAP has provided a new note for this. And if not, then address the question to SAP.
