Bulk Work Item

Hi Experts,
Like Bulk Mail sending mail to different ppl. Passing values from multicontainer to expression. I want the same to happen in Activity. As i have requirement where i need to send workitem to 3 ppl based on division. Each division may have more than one deciding authority, I need to send work item to all those ppl. Users i have got in one multiline container and when i pass that container to workitem expression, workitem is not been sent to thos ppl.
Plz guide me on how to send bulk mail. remember the no of users vary from division to division.
Regards,
Hari

Hi Martin,
Thanks for your reply and sorry about that short forms i was in a hurry.
I am doing credit limit check workflow. When a sales order is saved and if it exceeds the credit limit for that particular customer.Based on that sales order i need to send notifications in display mode (or) call the release screen for collesponding SAP users based on the sales division. There are 10 sales divisions and in each sales division there are atlease 3 users.
So i have maintained a ZTABLE with sap user ID and i have written a method and passed list of users as multiline container to Workflow activity expression.
I want to send work item to all 3 as we do in bulk mail.But when i pass as expression to work item in this case work item is not going to there inboxes.
Please guide me how to do this.
Regards,
Hari

Using API to run Catalog Bulk Load - Items & Price Lists concurrent prog

Hi everyone. I want to be able to run the concurrent program "Catalog Bulk Load - Items & Price Lists" for iProcurement. I have been able to run concurrent programs in the past using the fnd_request.submit_request API. But I seem to be having problems with the item loading concurrent program. for one thing, the program is stuck on phase code P (pending) status.
When I run the same concurrent program using the iProcurement Administration page it runs ok.
Has anyone been able to run this program through the backend? If so, any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Hello S.P,
Basically this is what I am trying to achieve.
1. Create a staging table. The columns available for it are category_name, item_number, item_description, supplier, supplier_site, price, uom and currency.
So basically the user can load item details into the database from an excel sheet.
2. use the utl_file api, create an xml file called item_load.xml using the data in the staging table. this will create the xml file used to load items in iprocurement and save it in the database directory /var/tmp/iprocurement This part works great.
3. use the api fnd_request.submit_request to submit the concurrent program 'Catalog Bulk Load - Items & Price Lists'. This is where I am stuck. The process simply says pending or comes up with an error saying:
oracle.apps.fnd.cp.request.FileAccessException: File /var/tmp/iprocurement is not accessable from node/machine moon1.oando-plc.com.
I'm wondering if anyone has used my approach to load items before and if so, have they been successful?
Thank you

Work item not getting displayed in the portal

Hi experts,
We are creating a protoype for one of the standard HCM form for change in working time. When we initiate the process, the workflow is supposed to identify the agent(which is the manager in this case) and push the work item in the inbox of the manager.
In our issue, we are able to see the workitem in SAP inbox, but the same work item is not getting displayed in the portal.
If we try to approve from the SAP inbox, the hard coded message u201CWork item can only be executed using the Portal and the UWLu201D comes. [this comes through the method of one of the tasks 17900101 which we are using for approving the form]
We commented the message by using a Z class. Now we donu2019t get the hardcoded message, but still the workflow does not complete from here.
Can this be aan integration issue of the workflow tasks with the portal??Can someone elaborate on this??

<ItemType name="uwl.task.webflow.TS17900101.SAP_ECC" connector="WebFlowConnector" defaultView="DefaultView" defaultAction="launchWebDynPro" executionMode="default">
      <ItemTypeCriteria systemId="SAP_ECC" externalType="TS17900101" connector="WebFlowConnector"/>
      <Actions>
        <Action name="launchWebDynPro" groupAction="" handler="SAPWebDynproLauncher" returnToDetailViewAllowed="yes" launchInNewWindow="yes" launchNewWindowFeatures="resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,status=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,directories=no">

            <Property name="WebDynproDeployableObject" value="sap.com/pa~asr~formstep"/>
            <Property name="newWindowFeatures" value="resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,status=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,directories=no"/>
            <Property name="openInNewWindow" value="yes"/>

          </Properties>
          <Descriptions default=""/>
        </Action>
      </Actions>
    </ItemType>
You have to say to your portal team to modify their XML file as above. In simple you hvae to configure the task in the portal and in the SWFVISU txn as follows with the following vizualization parameters
Task TS17900101 and visualization type is JavaWebDynpro
APPLICATION     ApproveFormApp
PACKAGE     sap.com/pa~asr~formstep

Error when starting work item

Hi
We are having SRM5.0.
Trying to create Contract. Workflow Without approval of contract(WS1400086)is activated and start conditions also no workflow activated.
Contract is created and getting message Contract created.
But when tried to release the contract it shows "Awaiting approval".
In Workflow log (SWI1)it shows error."Error when starting work item xxxx".
What could be the reason. Please let me know the solution if anyone of you come across such error.
Thanks in advance
Jagadish

Masa
It is maintained as General task already.
It seems the workflow task WS14000085 does not have definition.
When checked in SWDD for the above teask there are no steps defined for that workflow.
SAP says that we need to define and action for workflow WS14000085.
But what is the procedure to define the workflow.
I presume this is the standard workflow and it should be defined by default when it comes along with the SRM package.
Anyone of you know how to define the workflow and activate the same?
Regards
Jagadish

Work item never shows up in the approver queue

Hi All,
This is a specific issue to a particular user - approver. requisitioners are creating carts and are able to see that it is in approval queue. But the approver is not able to see the approval items in his queue.
We are in SRM 5.0 ECS SP15. This issue started all of recently. There has no changes in Org structure specifically to his attributes or workflow changes. Interestingly when workitem is forwarded to another approver, then that approver is able to view it. So, this tells me that this specific user has issues to view work items for approval.
Any suggestions is greatly appreciated and rewared.
Thanks
Rao

Hello Rao,
Did you check in SWI1 transaction if your particular user is defined as approver for concerned workitem ?
If you have user ID and password, can you see the workitem in SBWP transaction ?
If you use offline approval, has approval mail for this approver been created ? You should see it in SOST transaction.
Regards.
Laurent.

Work Item not getting logically deleted

Hi All,
We have created a custom workflow for PR approval at Item Level. I have RELEASE STEP CREATED as triggering event.
I have used a FORK with 5 branches with 4 wait events and min cond as 1. The inherited business object ZBUS2009 has been created with events CHANGE, DELETED. The business object has been delegated to Original Business object BUS2009.
To trigger the events like DELETED and CHANGED, I have used POSTED METHOD of ME_REQ_POSTED BADI.
When a PR Item is created the agents are determined successfully and work item is placed in his SAP Inbox. Later the PR Item has been deleted and saved the BADI Implementation is triggered and I can see the log in SWEL for DELETED event with success icon.
However when i go back to PR Item which i have deleted and see the workflow log the work item is still in the approver's inbox. but the graphic log shows that the DELETED branch of the fork is completed. I tried all options like Buffer synch, background job, queue admin etc with no success.
I did the same workflow at one of my previous clients and it is working perfectly for last 2yrs.
Can any one guide me on what could have gone wrong or what i am missing?
Thank you all in advance for help...
Regards,
Lakshmi Narayana

Hi Arghadip,
Thanks for your quick response.
The fork is having 5 parallel branchs and 1 necessary branch and is INDEED HAS NO EXTRA CONDITIONS.
Also as i mentioned the graphical log shows that the completion of BRANCH Beneth DELETED but the work item is still in approver's inbox.
Please let me know if I am missing something....
Rgds,
Lakshmi

Work Item Not getting Deleted

Hi
We have a starge issue.
We use the table SWWUSERWI to see all the work items in the user's inbox.
If we delete the work item in this table it will remove the same from user's inbox.
We have a problem now. Even after we deleted all the work items the SRM "Approval" link and the "Inbox" still contains Workitems( more than 200 ).
Is there anyother table or tCode to find the work items in user's inbox'
Thanks
Siva.

HI experts!!
The issue is solved!!!
The another user who is not with the company currenlty had maintained the user who had problem as substitue!!!.. we had to remove the substitute to solve the problem.

How to get all kind of GP work items for all users

Dear all:
   Basing GP implementation,we can only get the single user's work item. Is that possible to get all of the users' work items,and can filter the work item via time field?
thanks a lot.

ISearchResult result=UMFactory.getUserFactory().getUniqueIDs();
               IUser iuser;
               while(result.hasNext())
                    iuser=UMFactory.getUserFactory().getUser(result.next().toString());
The above code retrives all the users from the UME
IGPUserContext context = GPContextFactory.getContextManager().createUserContext(iuser);
IGPWorkItem[] workitems = GPProcessFactory.getRuntimeManager().getWorkItems(GPWorkItemStatus.getTypeForCode("1"), context);
You will get the WorkListItems in the workitems array. The type for code which is 1 currently, must be changed according to the requirement. It is different for Completed, Inprogress Tasks, etc.
Hope this will help you!

Can I report on the AGE of open Work Items? How? Group into Buckets?

Is there a way to report on the age of open work items?
Perhaps a bar graph that has several buckets.
a.    Over 364
b.    180 to 364
c.    90 to 179
d.    1 to 89
And then a COUNT in each bucket.
For example, if a Work Item is open longer than 364 day, it would appear in bucket "a" as a count of 1. Say there are a total of 45 Work Items that were opened older than 364 days, then "45" would appear in column "a" now say that there are 100 work items open that are 1 to 89 days old, then 100 would appear in the "d" bucket.
Make sense? How can I report like this?

Hi mrpeepers,
You can use following MDX script when you create this report that uses TfsOlapReportDS
with
member [Measures].[Age]
As
IIF([Measures].[Current Work Item Count]>0,DateDiff("d",cdate([System_CreatedDate].[Date].CurrentMember .name),Now()),null)
member [Measures].[AgeRange]
as
case
when [Measures].[Age] >70 then 70
when [Measures].[Age] >60 then 60
when [Measures].[Age] >50 then 50
when [Measures].[Age] >40 then 40
when [Measures].[Age] >30 then 30
when [Measures].[Age] >20 then 20
when [Measures].[Age] >10 then 10
when [Measures].[Age] >0 then 0
when [Measures].[Age] <0 then -1
else null
end
SELECT
non empty
{[Measures].[Current Work Item Count],[Measures].[Age] ,[Measures].[AgeRange]}
ON COLUMNS,
[System_CreatedDate].[Date].[Date].AllMembers on Rows
FROM [Current Work Item]
And then, drop a Chart to report designer, select “Current_Work_Item_Count” as datafield, AgeRange as category field.

Report to get cumulative effort based on child items related to parent work item

We have created a new work item type called 'Release'
Release -> Features -> PBI/Bugs -> Tasks/Test Case
I have requirement to create many reports that has to filtered across the Release work item been created. We usually slice it by Area/Iteration but here the requirement is different.
For ex:
Releases Overview report:
Release name| Owner as AssignedTo| Status Indicator | Completed Work | Remaining Work | Open Impediments
I can fetch all the release work items (Work Items with System_workItemType =Release) w.r.to team project for this report. But for other calculations :
Compute Open Impediments
Find all the child items belong to the parent 'Release work item'
Pick Open Impediments (Work_Item_Count with System_workItemType=Impediment and State = Open) in that list.
Is this possible by querying olap ? Or we need to go for stored procedures for querying warehouse?
please give a fair idea to start with and good resources for learning MDX.
Thanks
Divya

Hi Divya,
Thanks for your post.
To get the Release work items and all linked Impediments, you can try to create the Work item and direct links query, under Filters for lined work items section, set Type of trees = Parent/Child, work item type = Impediments and State = Open. Please refer
to the information in this document:https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd286705.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396.
For such a Release Overview report, you need create your custom report. For the MDX resource, please refer to this document:https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms144785.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396.
Or contact SQL Server Reporting Service experts for the better response
And you can also create the work item report using TFS API.

Viewing ALL Open Work Items and Corresponding Approvers in System

Is there a workflow report in ECC that displays ALL open work items in the system at any given time and their approvers that need to take action?

Hi ,
SWIA - You can give a status of the workitem ( Ready , Inprocess ...........), workitem type (dialog....)
in the selection criteria and also the time then you can find all the open workitems.
And also you can check Header table SWWIHEAD it includes all the information related to workflows
but this is a lenghty process need to process object type and need to refer so many attributes.
best way is need to create one report make use of it.

Closing Collections Work Items based on FI-CA Transactions

Hello Colleagues,
We have a requirement to close Collections Work Items when certain transactions are performed, e.g. Creation of Instalment Plan, Write-off, Payments to name just a few.
Because some of these items involve clearings, Dunning will not be triggered for the cleared items. Therefore I assume the Dunning BRF configuration cannot be used to close the Work items.
Is the only way to close work items when these FICA transactions are performed is by coding FICA Event logic that is specific to each of the transactions? (e.g. use a Write-Off Event to close work items when items are written off, an Installment Plan Event when Installment Plan is created, and so on? )
Your insights will be very helpful.
Thanks in advance,
Ivor Martin

Thanks Bill.
I understand and agree with the expectation gap about Instalment Plans.
Some good news on clearing of dunned items:
We did some more testing after un-checking the "Enforcement" Work item in the Work item category configuration.
Now the work item is closed when the document that is in dunning is cleared (i.e. via payments, write-offs, reversals, acct maintence, etc). The Work item Status turns to "G" (closed due to incoming payment).
I have logged an OSS in regards to the Instalment Plan on the request of my client - I would be surprised if they send us a fix to close the work item upon creation of an Instalment Plan. I think we will end up coding our work item closing logic in FI-CA Event 3040 (after the Instalment Plan is created).
Regards,
Ivor
