BPM Work flow User escalation

PROBLEM SUMMARY-_
How to achieve User escalation when we have User task with one Stage, 2 Sequential Participant blocks with one user in each block.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION-_
In my user task I have a stage with 2 participant block configured sequentially. Each participant block is configured with a user-Jcooper for user in participant block 1 and Jstein for user in participant block 2.
I have set Task level expiration policy with deadlines =Never Expire
At participant/user level I have allocated duration=1 minute for User jcooper & nothing for user Jstein.
Basically I want Jcooper to wait for 1 minute, after that it should automatically go to next user in approval hierarchy-Jstein here without expiring the task. Second user-Jstein may not be 1st user's boss. But this is not happening, after a wait of 1 minute the task itself expires
Other options that I had tried-
Escalate after:This would escalate the task to the user’s boss, but I don’t want to escalate it to the boss, I just want to skip the current user
Specify skip rule:Does not provide option wherein user can wait for a stipulated time & than skip. Atleast I was unable to find such option.
Any resolutions please?

Thanks RK for your quick reply.
I was gone through the details you have provided. every thing is fine as expected.
Later i have checked workflow mailer, it was down, due to that notifications are not reached to users/customers.once it is up and running mail notifications sent to respective users successfully.
Many Thanks.

  • Work Flow Users

    How can I exclude administrators from work flow users choise list?
    Thanks

    This is not possible, simply because admin users have access to all application features (except delete the application).
    Might be worth checking with Support if an enhancement has been logged.
    I agree it would be nice to have an option you can switch on and off.

  • Work flow - user is not reciving mail,once CREDIT MEMO submits for approval

    Hi All,
    Please find the issue as below.
    User created the credit memo and submitted for approval. user is expecting the mail in his mail-box, once he submitted the credit memo for approval and same way once approver approved the credit memo, user is expecting mail such that credit memo has been approved.
    He informed that previously he is receiving the mails as expected.
    Now all of sudden he is not receiving mails.
    I have checked work flow mailer, mailer is up and running.
    I have gone through the wf_notifications table, here i can see that MAIL_STATUS column having value of "MAIL".
    even i have gone through WF_USERS table this particular user is existing and status is "ACTIVE".
    But user is not yet received any mail.
    Kindly some one help me to sort out this issue.
    Thanks in Advance.

  • Triggering a sub work flow for multiple users at same time.

    I have a scenario in which I have created sub workflow as an activity for approval process. This sub work flow should be triggered for multiple users at the same time and their decison is independent of each other.
    This is like creating multipe instance of the same sub work flow and then the sub work flow runs indepedently as a new work flow for each of the approver and the process is completeded for approver independently.
    How can this be achieved?

    Tyr to do like this,
    1. First include the subworkflow in the main workflow template.
    2. Now include standard Block Step in the main workflow template.
    3. In the block select the block type as ParForEach.
    4. Before doing the 3rd point make sure that all the agents for whom you want whom you want to initiate the workflow, populate them in a Multiline conatiner element.
    5. Once completing 3rd and 4th points open the block step under the tab ParallelProcessing  assign the multiline container element name in the   for e;g if the multi line container element name is COSTCENTER then do the binding like below. the conatiner element COSTCENTERLINE is created by default once you include the multi line conatiner element under parller processing tab.
    &COSTCENTER[&_WF_PARFOREACH_INDEX&]&   -------->     &_COSTCENTER_LINE&
    Now assign the agent of the subworkflow as COSTCENTERLINE , imean if suppose you have 3 entries in the internal table then three separate and for three different agents the workflow is instantiated.

  • Work flow in error when executed with a user decision.

    Hi,
    I am executing a workflow for notification of absence. It has a user decision step to Revise the request or to withdraw it when the absence request is rejected by the approver. When I am executing this the workflow is going into error state. User decision step is not starting at all. The first two steps create notification of absence and check notification are getting completed successfully.
    Please let me know where I am going wrong.
    Thanks & Regards,

    Hi,
    I believe the orginal poster is following the workflow tutorial in the sap help.
    http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_03/helpdata/EN/fb/135962457311d189440000e829fbbd/frameset.htm
    I'm following the instructions and pretty sure it's been followed exactly on each step but am hitting the same issue - see 'Unit 10 - third step'.
    The log is reporting two errors
    Work item 000000014093: Object FLOWITEM method EXECUTE cannot be executed
    and
    Error when processing node '0000000039' (ParForEach index 000000)
    You reject the notification and then the work flow errors.
    Can anyone help?

  • User Exit over Work flow

    hi all,
    I have requirement of creating a sales order when the work Order is flagged to completion through IW32.
    I checked for the User Exit avaiable for IW32 and its not trigerred when the SAVE button is clicked.
    so i am planning to go for a work flow approach.
    Has anyone encountered a similar situation. is there any other possible way as wrok flow would have a lot of execution time.
    Your inputs and ideas are appreciated.

    Can you just try the Badi,

    It will work at SAVE

  • Returning User Work Flow Urgent!!!

    We implemented OIM at our client side everything is working fine;
    The user creation happaens in the following.
    user manager fills the account request form OIM picks up this request once; creates the temp_userid; once the persons onboards his recorded enterend in SAP HR OIm picks up the the record and if the lastname and positioncode mathces oim links the record and create all other accounts. (AD,Exchange,OID etc)
    once the user end date comes OIM disables automatically. Our work flow is defined in such a way that if I want to enable the user I have to goto user -->resouces --> make sure all the reouces are diabled and I have to enable the Voice mail accont resouce first and goto user form change end date click enable button that will enable the user fine it is working.
    How do I do those manaul enable steps to enable user automatically based on SAP new end date.

    You could create a scheduled task that looks at this value and performs the actions based on the date to the other resources.
    You could create a trusted recon for that value to the user's OIM profile and either map it to the end date.

  • Same number of work flow entries under "Approval" link for each user

    Hi All,
    We are implementing SRM 5.0 .
    The problem we are facing is that when we test the service BBPSTART , the number of work flow entries in the inbox for all users is same .
    We created a new user on SRM and tested BBPSTART with this user...it shows the same number of work flow entries in the inbox..
    What is the problem?
    Thanks & Regards,
    Anubhav

    Hi Masa,
    SPRO->SAP Reference IMG->Supplier Relationship Management->SRM Server->Cross-Application Basic Settings->SAP Business Workflow->Activate Standard Taks
    Activate Standard Tasks
    In this activity, you start a background report that defines certain tasks within the workflows of Enterprise Buyer as standard tasks. Any user can perform standard tasks, such as "Approve User Master Record". You use the workflow definition to narrow down who can actually perform the task. For example, in the case of approval of user master records, this depends on the organizational unit to which the new user master record belongs.
    You must perform this activity during the initialization of the Enterprise Buyer system, otherwise the SAP Business Workflow cannot determine who the approver should be.
    Is it somehow related to my problem?
