Authorization to disable SAP Inbox Forward function for specific Work Items

Hi.
I recently solved a case for a customer of mine regarding authorizations for work items. They have several workflows running, but for this specific custom developed workflow, users should not be allowed to use the SAP Inbox Forward button.
I started by creating a new task classification (Z_FW) which I implemented on the workflow tasks where the forward functionality should be disabled. Now for test purposes I created a dummy user which I initially gave only authorization to the tcode SBWP, then I manually added the authorization object S_WF_WI.
For this entry I allowed all activities for work item type W and F for classification 1, 2, 3 and NO_CLASS (SAP Standard classification).
Now to my understanding this would give the test user authorization to perform all activities on Work Items and Workflows which are classified with one of the above, but also prevent me from doing anything with Workflows and Work Items with classification Z_FW.
However, to my surprise everything seems to work perfectly with just this entry. I am able to execute and forward work items with the standard classification, while I am able to execute, but not forward, work items with classification Z_FW.
My intention was to add another entry for authorization object S_WF_WI, for classification Z_FW with all activities except forwarding. But when I tried that, the only change was that forwarding was enabled for the work items with classification Z_FW, which I didnu2019t want.
Now can anyone explain to me why this is working? I am not too familiar with SAP Authorization as my area is mainly ABAP and WF, but his just does not seem logical.
Hoping someone can give me an explanation....
Thanks

Does the standard function not do what you want?
Task -> Additional data -> Agent Assignemt -> Maintain -> Attributes -> Forwarding not allowed.

Mass approval functionality for SRM work items

Hi,
We want to implement mass approval functionality for SRM workflow, so that any user is able to approve/reject multiple requests at one go through UWL.
Please guide if it is possible to implement this functinality for task id TS40007952.
Regards,
Avantika

Hi Avantika,
The mass approval functionality can be implemented for simple workflow items which have decisions to complete the work item. (User Decision Type)
In SAP Business Workflow, user can define a task as a decision task by assigning DECISION as the underlying business object type. The task definition allows user to create two or more decision options to complete the task.
The idea is to simply create a custom view/subview for the UWL item and configure it according to your needs.
Have a look at this blog:
Mass/Batch Processing of Work items in UWL
and also check the documentation:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/4e/72112bc9ea484196f2a5fdc68f5f5f/frameset.htm
Let me know if you have any questions.

Mobile wifi mouse back and forward functions don't work

I just bought the hp wifi mobile mouse model MOWFFKUL and back and forward functions don't work and it's driving me crazy. I bought it for these specific functions. At first I thought that it was a broken mouse. So I went and returned it, got back home, and the same thing. I set the side buttons to other functrion options and they work. What the hell??? just the back and forward buttons don't. I'm losing my mind big time because I REALLY NEED those buttons/functions to work!! All the regular top buttons functrion fine, it's only the back forward setting that DOESN't WORK.

I restarted my laptop, and the buttons worked! For only 2 minutes. Then nada ever again. What a POS. Come on HP, give a solution. I bought and returned it twice, which makes this my third wifi mouse. What a waste of my time. I think I'm just gonna return this mouse and forget the wifi mouse. Functionality is more important than a freed up USB port. I bought it for the forward/backward buttons specifically. HP used to make wonderful products, but this experience bring that into question now.

View Memo option for a work item

Hello,
I am trying to include the "View Memo" option for a couple of different work items in UWL under the "You can also" section.
The View Memo shows up fine for one work item and doesn't show up for the other. However I have similar UWL configuration for both items.
Can any one suggest what is needed to include the View Memo option. I thought that the following tag should do it:
<Action reference="viewMemos"/>
The View Memo does not work for the following item: (Does not show up):
<ItemType name="uwl.task.webflow.decision.TS20000131.ECCCLNT200" connector="WebFlowConnector" defaultView="DefaultView" defaultAction="com.sap.pct.erp.mss.tra.action.DisplayExpenseForm" executionMode="default">

      </Actions>
    </ItemType>
Can anyone suggest what is the difference between the above two tasks.
Thank You,
Jaya R

Hi Jaya,
The reason why you are seeing this with the first task is because you are using the action handler UserDecisionHandler, more specifically UserDecisionNote. This is what defines the memo box. You can see the other workitem is not of type decision and is not using the UserDecisionHandler, therefore you can't just add a memo box. If you want to add a memo box to the other workitem, you will need to configure it like the first and check the decisions also in the backend system through the function module: SAP_WAPI_DECISION_READ or SWK_DECISION_READ. You can find more information here:

Provision that MRP is not be considered for specific line item of Sales Ord

Is their any provision that MRP is not be considered for specific line item of Sales Order in MRP run? (Ex: Planned order is also generated for free/ADC sample quantity entered in Sales order)

Dear
Go to Sales and distribution--> Sales --> Sales Documents -->Schedule Lines --> Assign schedule line categories.
Choose the item category (eg. TAN) which is coming in the sales order and enter CN - No. Mat. Planning in the the manual schedule line category (MSL Ca) for MRP type PD.
This will enable you to choose while creating sales order in the Tab procurement column SL Ca.
Choose CN - No mat.planning for the schedule items which you don;t want MRP.

SAP inbox forward to user STATUS 'READY'

Hi Experts
I have chanllenge with workflow item from SAP Inbox in Production. I am trying to forward the workflow item to any of the users from SAP Inbox(SBWP) and when i see the forward workitems its in status "READY".
i have checked the workflow ID in TCODE : SWI1...and shows the status as READY.
i did refresh the buffer SWU_OBUF but the results are same as expliained above.
can pls know...What would be the problem...
Thank you,
pasala.

>But when the user checks his inbox he does not find the workflow item.
Which user? A) The one who sent the item, or B) the one who should have received the item?
If it is the case A, then this is normal. If you forward the work item to someone, it will disappear from sender's inbox. B) If the received doesn't receive the work item (and you are not getting any error message when forwardig), then something is seriously wrong...

Pulling Multiple Approver Names from Workflow Logs for One Work Item

I have a workflow design which requires multiple approvals per single work item. I happen to have another functional design that is also pulling data from those same workflow logs. Assuming I have multiple approvals at various levels for a single work item which table do I need to reference along with which fields to reference the different approvers per level of approval?

Hello,
The same tables. The principle is the same, just more agents.

Creating a report for linked work items...

We are using TFS 2012 and need to create a report (either excel or SSRS) that shows all the user stories under the current sprint and any linked child items across two projects. I can do this easily per project in VS and open it in excel but excel won't
let me copy/paste two projects work items in one spreadsheet. I tried searching and found a few suggestions but they don't seem to work.
TIA,
Vik

Hi Vik,
Thanks for your post.
We suggest you create a such report using TFS API. Please refer to below code snippet:
            TfsTeamProjectCollection tfs = new TfsTeamProjectCollection(new Uri("UrI"));
            tfs.EnsureAuthenticated();
            WorkItemStore workitemstore = tfs.GetService<WorkItemStore>();
            string wiql ="SELECT * FROM WorkItems WHERE [System.TeamProject] = 'TeamProject' ORDER BY [System.Id] ";
            WorkItemCollection wic = workitemstore.Query(wiql);
            foreach(WorkItem workitem in wic)
            if(workitem.Links.Count!=0)
                foreach (Link link in workitem.Links)
                    RelatedLink relatedLink = link as RelatedLink;
                    if (relatedLink != null)
                        Console.WriteLine(relatedLink.RelatedWorkItemId);
You can create your custom work item query to return all the parent work items, then save this query as a .wiq file in local path, then open this .wiq file and you will find the wiql string in it.

SSRS Report for Incidents/Work Items Created or Closed over time

I'm curious if anyone has developed a custom report based off the DWDataMart that displays the count for creation of incidents or other work items over time or work items that are closed over time.

Hi Jon,

Changing template for "email work item "

Hi,
TFS Web Access has the possibility to send the work item in an e-mail. (The enveloppe on action bar).
By clicking on this Icon, a new window opens with some basic work item information.
I suppose the content of the e-mail is based on a template.
My question is: Is it possible to update this template (red box)?
Jeppen Twitter: @DoSTHGreat

Hi Jeppen,
Thanks for your post.
As far as I know there’s no default way to change that template, please refer to the discussions in this similar post:
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/2a63b27d-4bfd-413f-bff9-825d6bdc99fe/how-do-i-change-the-ides-send-work-item-to-outlook-email-template?forum=tfsworkitemtracking.
But you can add the required column in work item query result, then select work item from query result to send email. Please refer to the workaround in this post:

Query filter for linked work items by link type

We are running TFS 2012. I am opening up my work item query in VS 2013 team explorer. I need to know how to write a query that allows me to filter OUT links of type "related" so that they don't show in the tree under the product backlog item in
the sprint. Link Type is not one of the fields present in the query editor.
Thanks.

Need help in getting proposed approvers for a work item

Hi All,
We are trying to get the proposed approvers and the actual approver details for a particular work item.
Before the work item is actioned we are able to see all the proposed agents for that particular work item.
But once that work item is actioned then only the agen who has actioned on the work item is appearing in the list. All other agents are not appearing.
For this we are using the FM BBP_WFL_DIN_APPR_WORKFLOW_GET.
We have also tried some other FM's and tables, but none of them were helpfull.
Please let us know if you know any table or FM or class which we can use to get these details.
Scenario:
Work Item: 12345
Before action on the work item
Possible(Proposed) agents: Agent 1, Agent 2, Agent 3.
Actual Agent: blank
What we want, after action on the work item if "Agent 2" acts on that item.
Possible(Proposed) agents: Agent 1, Agent 2, Agent 3.
Actual Agent: Agent 2
But what we are get is:
Possible(Proposed) agents: Agent 2.
Actual Agent: Agent 2
Thanks a lot.
Regards,
Kranthi.

Hi,
What did you draw those lines with ???? Just a drawLine() command ????
If so, it is very difficult to track the exact mouse coordinates that correspond to a click at a particular place and then place an 'X' or an 'O' there !!!!
Try implementing it with 9 Buttons placed at those specific positions. In this case, it will be very simple to track the user's input when he clicks on any of those buttons...the implementation will become really simpler.
Check it out !

How can I specify an area path for the work item created on build failure?

In our department we are working with multiple build definitions for different parts of one Team project. We heavily use the Team Project feature. Teams are defined by area path nodes, so each team can only see it's area path. No one (except the admins)
can see the root project node.
When a build breaks, TFS generates a Bug. Unfortunately, this bug is assigned to the area path root node, so nobody can see the generated bug and act on it.
We would prefer to specify the area path for the generated work item in the build definition (not template, but property of a build definition), as every build belongs exclusively to one team.
I have found that you can populate fields of the generated work item by filling the "custom fields" of the "create work item" activity. But how do I set the area path as a parameter?
Guenter

Hi Cuenter,
Thanks for your post.
You should set the value like below in that activity:
New
Dictionary(Of
String,
String)
From {{"Area
Path",
"teamprojectname\areaname"}}

SAP Inbox - Forward documents

Hello,
We're executing CATS WorkFlow and everything works ok. This WF sends a message to the user Inbox when the manager rejects the Time Sheet.
We need to forward all therejected messages to the user external email, and this must be done for all the CATS users.
Then... SO16 > Mail sy. grp > and here I click over "Send to home addresses of users". Here I understand that all the documents that will arrive to the SAP user Inbox will be forwarded to the user communication mail (SU01 > Address > E-Mail), right?
If it works fine, I need another thing... I need that just the CATS users have this functionality working; I mean, I need to forward only the CATS messages. Is it possible? Maybe some kind of filter by user in SCOT?
Thx!
Miguel.

Hi,
Create a enhancement spot in the below function module and write the logic to send mail using SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1 at the beginning of the FM.
*CATS_SAVE_CATSDB *
I have done this and working absolutely fine for me.
Check the entries in Table parameters I_CATSDBCOMM of this FM.
Check if time entries for any record is '40' and if true send a rejection notification.

Raj
