Bad workflow ? :-( document is still being processed in the background  :-(

Hi guys,
I have activated workflow without approval for PO's (saved & changed: WS14000075).
Everything was working fine.. BUT.. For some reason, now some PO documents have the status "Waiting Approval", and if I try to edit them,I got the following message: "document is still being processed in the background"
How can I fix this ?
Thanks for your help guys !
Best regards,
Diego

Hello Diego,
I've already seen this kind of pb.
You should navigate to the admin workflow runtime (menu swld) then administration --> workflow runtime, there is some usefull transactions.
First check the customizing (SWU3) and ensure that workflow runtime is ok.
Then try to restart wi in error (SWPR and/or SWPC) and check RFC transactions (SWU2).
Rgds,
Pierre

  • Document is still being processed in the background

    Hi guys.
    I receive this error when wanting to Change a purchase order in SRM. The PO is already in R/3, and the user has tried to make the GR in SRM. This GR then failed in R/3 because of incorrect accounting data, so I changed this in SRM. Then the PO changed to status Awaiting Approval, but we do not use any workflow for approving POs. Plus when trying to change the PO I get the message Document is still being processed in the background; please try again later. Well, this has been there for over a week now, and I have searched both this forum and also SAP Notes, but cannot seem to find anything that helps me.
    There are no locked entries in the BBP_WFLOCK table, just as there don't seem to be anything in the RFC queues. I have checked the SC, PO and Confirmation in the BBP_PD, but no news here.
    Something that interested me though is that in BBP_PD for the PO it seems that there are 2 active versions...?
    Any other idea as to how I can "release" this Purchase order again?
    Thanks for info.
    DM

    Hi,
    Let me know the following things.
    1. Do you see any approver in the approval preview of the purchase order , you have told that you are not using any workflows , but i wanted to make sure.
    2.When do you get the message"document is still being processed in the background" ? is it when you change the purhcase order?
    3) please have a look at the workflow log using the transaction 'SWI6', use the object type as bus2200 , use purchase order GUID and then see wether the setreleased has been run for the purchase order.
    4) if the setreleased is not done , then you have to run the setreleased method for the purchase order.

    Hi
    <u>Which SRM version are you using ?</u> <b>Please try this -></b>
    You can try to use Function Module using SE37 Transaction - BBP_PD_PO_STATUS_CHANGE_WF, enter the Header guid and IV_status =1, Then check again the Purchase order.

  • Contracts - 'Document still being processed in the background; try again la

    Hello,
    When trying to make adjustments to multiple contracts we are receiving the error message 'Document is still being processed in the background; try again later.'  We have tried again later to no effect.
    Ultimately, this means that these contracts (30 altogether) cannot be altered in anyway i.e. held, deleted, released, approved and it means that they just sit there.
    This also has implications when raising another contract to replace these contracts.  For example if you want to use the same vendor this will cause great confusion for our users when trying to select the correct correct to spend money against when raising purchase orders.  Often the result is the user selecting the wrong contract.
    Have you any suggestions on why this error message is appearing?
    Many Thanks,
    Sarah

  • Sourcing Cockpit: Document still being processed in background

    Dear experts,
    we are facing the following problem in SRM 5.0 extended classical szenario.
    In transaction Sourcing Cockpit when I click on create PO I reach the "Sourcing - Document Preview" screen, where I can click on button "Process PO".
    Everytime I click on button "Process PO" I get the error message "Document is still being processed in the background; try again later".
    PO is created but in status HELD. I have to go to transaction "Process Purchase Order (BBP_POC)" in order to create PO so that status changes to ORDERED.
    There are no entries in table BBP_WFLOCK.
    Thanks in advance and best regards
    AD

    Thanks for your answer.
    Regarding your points:
    1) It happens in almost 95% of the cases but as per now we could not figure out a rule when it happens and when not.
    2) yes, it happens also after logoff.
    For the user that is working in sourcing cockpit, the following entries are in SM12:
    100     USER1     14:06:36     X     CRMD_ORDERADM_H     10047BDCB4F6CD52BF8E1000000AC1ABC35     1     0

  • BPS/Web: 'Your previous query is still being processed'

    Hi,
    One of our users get the following message when clicking on a page link in a BPS web application we designed:
    'Your previous query is still being processed'. The user is only clicking once on the link and gets in an endless loop (when monitoring the system, no activity can be seen).
    All our other users are fine. We checked the internet explorer settings of this user and they are identical to all the other users. We know it is not linked to the user ID or the portal.
    Has anyone already seen this ? Any idea where we should look at ?
    Thanks for any help.
    David

    Hello David,
    on one hand you are saying only one user has the problem but on the other hand you write that it's not linked to the user ID?
    If the frontend settings are OK, then it might be a firewall issue. Some of them block ports or filter JavaScript.

  • Why the Sales Order is still being processed?

    Hi,
    This process is done: Sales Order (RE - Return) --> Return Delivery (Goods receipt) --> Billing
    Sold-to party wrongly entered in the Sales Order, so they wanted to close the Sales Order. They did Cancellation for Billing (VF11) and reversed the Goods receipt (VL09).
    Also, Reason for Rejection is put in the line item (VA02). However, the status of the Sales Order is still Being Processed instead of Completed.
    From the Data Flow, it states that order-related billing status is still open*. But the Billing documents and Accounting documents are Completed and Cleared respectively as seen from the Data Flow.
    How to close this Sales Order?
    Thanks.

    Dear Friend,
    If you want to close any particular order then go to order reason and give the reason and save it.
    The system will automatically close the order and would show processed and in the due lists also it would not appear.

  • Delivery status still 'Being Processed' although invoice had been created

    Dear all,
    I have a problem in production server.
    Delivery status still 'Being Processed' although invoice had been fully created and status is cleared.
    First, I get a problem when I tried to create invoice refer to this DN. Then I applied a message (execute report ZZBRE003: update table VBUK-WBSTK & VBUP-WBSTA = 'C'). Invoicing was created and status was cleared. But the delivery status still 'Being Processed'.
    Could you help me, how to make this delivery status: Completed?
    thanks,
    Fella

    Dear Fella,
    I think that you haven't posted GI (confirmation of service) for the full delivery qty. Please check GI status for each item in the delivery. If any item shows partial delivery, post GI for the balance qty.
    If any item has Partial Delivery Indicator 'D', the order can never have status 'fully delivered'. You must complete such items by entering a reason for rejection.
    If that is not the case, there is a chance that copying ctrl (Delivery->Invoice) is not configured correctly. Choose a right value for 'Update Document Flow' in the copying control for the Invoice type from the delivery type used.
    Please reward if helpful

  • Workflow task details are being retrieved from the server

    Hi,
    Using an approval workflow. when the task has been assigned to the person he is getting an email but when clicking on the edit this task button ,the pop window with the
    "workflow task details are being retrieved from the server" 
    error is getting. SharePoint site 2007 and Microsoft Outlook is 2010.

    I have a similar issue with my version of SharePoint. 
    SharePoint 2010 Enterprise.
    Outlook 2013 with MS Exchange
    Document approval workflow.
    When you open the document approval email that comes from SharePoint and click on "Open this task"  the popup window flashes across "workflow tasks details are being retrieved from the server ".
    I've tried the regedit fix and the hive fix and resetting IE that some of the other people have said that works and it doesn't. 
    When I go the site, and connect the task list to Outlook, I can complete the task that way.
    I also created a new approval workflow in SharePoint designer and it behaves the same way.
    Anything else I should try?

  • Skip an employee from being processed in the payroll

    I want to skip an employee from being processed in the payroll as the employee is given Unpaid Leave. Please can some one assist me how i can do that by using Fast Formulas ?
    Appreciate all your comments!

    The leaves taken by an employee is stored in 'per_absence_attendances' table so you can write a formula function which returns the type of leave taken by employee.
    You can then define a skip rule (Fast formula type -> 'Element Skip') and attach it to the element which u want to skip during payroll run.
    eg.
    v_leave_type = GET_LEAVE_TYPE(..) --Your Custom Function
    if v_leave_type = 'Unpaid Leave' then
    skip_flag = 'Y'
    else
    skip_flag = 'N'
    return skip_flagThis approach skips the elements from being processed but not the employee. So you have to attach this skip rule to all elements which are needed to be skipped.

  • HT4910 I can't find my notes in my iCloud account. I checked my iPhone 4, and it says that they are still being saved to the iCloud. Where did they go?

    I can't find my notes in my iCloud account. I checked my iPhone 4, and it says that they are still being saved to the iCloud. Where did they go?

    I'm not familiar with the PC end of things, but in a recent post I read about someone using notes.exe to access notes (I'm assuming they knew what they were talking about) - would your installation of icloud app(s) include a notes program?  At least do this, log into icloud.com with a computer browser and look in mail.  There should be a notes "folder" listed along with the others you may have defined.  Are you notes there?  If not, that's the problem.  Be sure notes is turned on in Settings>icloud on your device.  if they are there, then it looks like the PC end is the problem - but I can't provide help concerning that.

  • Placing an Import process in the Background

    Hello -
    I have an Import process that is currently running in the foreground on Sun Solaris, and I want to place the PID of the Imp process in the background. How do I place it in the background while it is running? Do I have to suspend, then place in the background?
    Thanks.

    Not sure. I assume unix or linux being used.
    If , for example you were editing a file in 'vi', how would you put that in the background and get a prompt?
    Do a 'man' of 'fg' and 'bg'.
    Can you put all the import parameters on the command line (or use a cmd file)and append the '&' symbol (above nummeral 7 on keyboard) to the line? Make sure to log import feedback to a file.

  • Qty Contract Issue - Completed but Status still "Being Processed"

    Hello,
    I need help with a situation I am encountering.  This is AFS specific.
    Create QTY Contract for 100.  Both the item and schedule like have completion rule "B" and the copy control between contract and order has document flow set to "2" and positive.
    Scenario 1:
    If I create a call off order for exactly 100 (same grid value), the contract is correctly set to COMPLETE.
    Scenario 2:
    If I create a call off order for 50 and another call off order for 50, the contract status is  BEING PROCESSED.
    We need the contract status in the second scenario to be changed to "COMPLETED". 
    Thank you,
    Siobhan

    Hai Siobhan,
    In our system i created similar contract and sales orders, but both are showing completed only.
    1. Can you check again with complete cycle up-to invoice.
    2. After creating 50 + 50 two orders, Check whether system is allowing to create further more orders
    Please post the updates of the issue.
    Regards,

  • Still Being Processed

    Did a return sales order and delivered goods, goods receipt, FOC delivery, picking, delivery...
    But the status in the return sales order still shows "being processed".
    (Delivery status is Fully Delivered).
    I suppose we do not bill the customer again, what would be a proper work around for this?
    Please advice. Thank you.

    Hi,
    Did a return sales order and delivered goods, goods receipt, FOC delivery, picking, delivery
    -this is wrong you should do the billing of the return order otherwise it system will nto update the status of the order.
    foc subsequent delivery is other issue then your updation issue
    *I suppose *
    please,
    be definite do not suppose
    -so first create the invoice of the return order & then do the subsequent delivery and make clear what your busibness process is asking for.
