Business object for material , template workflow for materials ?

Hi,
I need to create a workflow for material master , creating material basic data, create plant views etc
Which is the appropriate workflow and is there a standard one as a template?
Thanks
Antonis

Hello,
I feel it is better that you use the standard business object BUS1001006 for your requirement related to the material management as some of the events which are obsolete in the business object BUS1001 have been redefined in BUS1001006.
Events like "Material created" and "New View for the material Created" are redefined which I think you need for your requirement.
Hope this will help.
Regards,
Samson

Business objects and start events required for CO11N and CO13 transactions

Hi,
We do production order <b>confirmation</b> and <b>cancellation</b> in CO11N and CO13 respectively. Can somebody please tell me the corresponsing business objects and the start events for them? This is a very urgent issue, I will surely rewad good points.
I guess we need to use AFVC_PM object and "finalconfirmation" event for the confirmation.
Please confirm this and kindly suggest the same for cancellation.
Thanks,
Max

Hi Max,
You will have to use the object BUS2005 - which is for Production order.
If you do not have Required events in the BO, you will have to extend object to add those custom events e.g. Cancellation event.
In this case you wil have to use Status management technique for raising events if standad transaction is not raising them.
Hope following SAP Help link might help you to start off..

Query with standard template workflow for Purshase Requisition.

Hi all
I am fresher in Workflow. I have to configure standard template workflow for Purshase Requisition.
I know the flow how to configure it(through forum only).
I have a development system where all release codes,release strategies are defined.
when i saw the standard workflows through "pftc" tx code,in workflow builder some default rules are defined.
I donno is there any oraganisational structure is defined in my system.
my question are-Is these rules are alternative to Org.structure?
By the help of rules would i configure agent id in Workflow through spro transaction.
I am not able to assign agent id which i am using to right now.how can i do that?
Is i able to do all this once i have defined org. structure.?..
Thanks in advance..

Ashwani,
Since you are new to this forum, i would suggest you to search this forum. You will get a lot of threads related to PR release workflow and even link to documentation. By going through those docs you may understand the whole process. And after that if you face some new challenges you can come back and post a new thread.
Don't forget to search before posting a new thread.
Thanks,

ECMA script for checking active workflows for an list item

Hi i am having more than 1 workflow associated with the list if there is any workflow that is active for an item then i need to prevent starting another workflow for the same item. I am using the following code to achieve the same. Can anyone please provide
me the ECMA object model equivalent for achieving the same.
//Check for any active workflows for the document
private void CheckForActiveWorkflows()
// Parameters 'List' and 'ID' will be null for site workflows.
if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(Request.Params["List"]) && !String.IsNullOrEmpty(Request.Params["ID"]))
this.workflowList = this.Web.Lists[new Guid(Request.Params["List"])];
this.workflowListItem = this.workflowList.GetItemById(Convert.ToInt32(Request.Params["ID"]));
SPWorkflowManager manager = this.Site.WorkflowManager;
SPWorkflowCollection workflowCollection = manager.GetItemActiveWorkflows(this.workflowListItem);
if (workflowCollection.Count > 0)
SPUtility.TransferToErrorPage("An workflow is already running for the document. Kindly complete it before starting a new workflow");
}

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to use ECMA script to check active workflows for an list item.
You can use the Workflow web service "/_vti_bin/workflow.asmx"
- GetWorkflowDataForItem operation in particular.
Here is a great blog for you to take a look at:
http://jamestsai.net/Blog/post/Using-JavaScript-to-check-SharePoint-list-item-workflow-status-via-Web-Service.aspx
In addition, you can use
SPServices. For more information, please refer to:

Material master workflow for changes

Hi Experts
I have a requirement to trigger multiple material workflows for all the plants that have a blocked status in MRP1 when the material gets uploaded into SAP from a third party.
I have used SWEC and created a new 'MaterialChanged' event and put a start condition for the workflow to look at the MRP1/status.
This looks to work fine as long as there is one plant and its MRP1 has blocked status. I am not able to figure out how to handle if there is a multiple plant specific data for a material and all or some of the plants are blocked, this is when multiple workflows are expected to trigger for each plant. Each plant has got different set of approvers.
Because I think the 'trigger' will happen only once for a material irrespective of how many plants the material may have.
If any of you have handled this kind of scenario, appreciate your help.
Thanks
Sasi

Hi,
I think the easiest would be to just echance the business object with an attribute if there are any plants with the blocked status.
then in your workflow, you retrieve how many plants there are with blocked status and then use that data in the other tab for multiline element in a subworkflow.
This will create all the workflows per plant.
Kind regards, Rob Dielemans

Business Objects Reports and Web Services for Dashboards

Hello!
I am writing a Business Object report against my Universe. I save the report to the CMS and then right click on the report block and click "Publish as a Web Service...". This opens up that diaglog and I am able to publish the web service. I then can import the web service into Dashboards 4.1 (Xcelsius) and am working working to figure it out further at this point.
My question is this: When I go back to the report in Business Objects, and modify the report, I would like to republish the web service. I click on Design and rework the report. Run the report. Save the report. I right click on the report block and I don't see the "Publish as a Web Service..." choice.
What am I doing wrong?
Business Objects 4.1...
Thank you.

Hi Susan,
Go to the web service publisher, expand the web service, select the block and select edit.
Select the content and prompt and select Update.

Old Version of Business Object & work flow templates

Hi,
I deleted few methods and commented some code in an existing business object for some issue.Now I want to call back the older version. How can I do this?
Similarly I did some changes to an workflow template and now want to re-call the older version .
How can I do them both.
Thanks
Kiran

Hi,
First retrive the corresponding request of those objects from SE03 or SE09 transactions
and reimport them from your PRD or QAS system.

Business Object BUS1001 - Material this is the Business object.

Hi All,
I need to activate the notification for the below .
I got the solution,However we do not have any workflow consultant,Would look forward for the step by step procedure to achieve the requirement from you.
Try by activating the workflows for material master Change. -how?
Create Change pointers, Where can i get this? so that they trigger an event or notification when there is a price change more than 40 % in the Material master....
BUS1001 - Material this is the Business object?
I would need a detailed procedure for the above.

My step plan in your case would look like this:
Step 1: Hire workflow consultant.
Step 2: Give him the requirements
Step 3: Wait for result
Step 4: Test the workflow.
Or as an alternative you can search the forum because change documents have been discussed here many times.

Asynchronous Business Object Event not triggering Workflow

Hello everybody,
I created a workflow for processing of inbound messages (IDoc). The workflow is correctly started when an IDoc arrives. Then it prepares some data and runs into a waiting step. After the user processes the messages via a custom transaction, the workflow should proceed and send some additional information to the message origin.
I created a new BO with an event ProcessComplete, which is called in the custom transaction via the following code:
INCLUDE <cntn01>.
DATA lo_zisu TYPE swc_object.
swc_container lo_container.
swc_create_container lo_container.
swc_set_element lo_container 'VAR1' lv_var.
swc_create_object lo_zisu 'ZABC' lv_object_key.
swc_raise_event lo_zisu 'ProcessComplete' lo_container.
But when I call this code, the workflow does not continue. When I use SWEL to manually create an event on this object, the workflow only continues when I set the check box "synchronous call". So in some way, the asychronous calls disappears completely.
Can anyone give me a hint, where to look for these calls? May there be a setting not active on the system for this particular workflow? Other workflows with the same method of event handling work well.
Thanks and regards,
Christoph

Hello,
I debugged deeper into the whole issue. When I call the function module for the event creation directly (not via the macro posted in my initial post), I have the option to control syncronous va. asynchronous processing:
CALL FUNCTION 'SWE_EVENT_CREATE'
EXPORTING
    objtype              = 'ZISU_MDC'
    objkey               = lv_objkey
    event                = 'ProcessComplete'
    start_recfb_synchron = 'X'
IMPORTING
    receiver_count       = lv_rcvcnt
    event_id             = lv_evtid
TABLES
    event_container      = lo_container
EXCEPTIONS
    objtype_not_found    = 1
    OTHERS               = 2.
The export parameter start_recfb_synchron controls this. In the program flow, the following is the difference between the two ways:
Synchronous:
      CALL FUNCTION im_handler->m_linkage-recfb
           DESTINATION im_handler->m_linkage-rfcdest
           EXPORTING
             sender                   = l_sibf_object_por
             event                    = l_sibf_event
             rectype                  = l_sibf_rectype
             handler                  = l_receiver_por
             exceptions_allowed       = 'X'
             xml_size                 = l_xml_size
             event_container          = lt_xml_container
           IMPORTING
             result                   = l_result
           EXCEPTIONS
             temp_error               = 1
             OTHERS                   = 99.
Asynchronous:
      CALL FUNCTION im_handler->m_linkage-recfb
           IN BACKGROUND TASK
           AS SEPARATE UNIT
           DESTINATION im_handler->m_linkage-rfcdest
           EXPORTING
             sender                   = l_sibf_object_por
             event                    = l_sibf_event
             rectype                  = l_sibf_rectype
             handler                  = l_receiver_por
             exceptions_allowed       = ' '
             xml_size                 = l_xml_size
             event_container          = lt_xml_container
      CALL FUNCTION 'ID_OF_BACKGROUNDTASK'
           IMPORTING
                tid = l_trfc_id.
The first one works fine, the event gets processed, there is an entry in SWEL, the workflow continues. The second way does not work. The second function returns a tRFC ID, but when locking tRFC in the debugger and search for the call via SM58, there is no entry.
In parallel I opened an OSS message, but did not get any (useful) response yet.
Regards,
Christoph

Table or FM to display inventory for material in plant for a specific time

Hi, is there a table or FM or transaction that can display the plant inventory for a material for certain batch/plant for a specific time? I need to trouble shoot a problem that may be related to delivery not been created on the date determined in the sales order schedule line. Need to see if there is actually sufficient stuff at the time when the delivery due list is executed.
MMBE or MB52 only gives me the inventory level as of the systems date/time. Need to pull out historical data.
Any advise is appreciated.
Thanks

hi
MB5B is one option to get stock on particular date.may be you can chedck MD05 - MRP list to get stock statement at time of MRP run.

Does Business Objects XI still support RDC for Crystal Reports?

Post Author: DLO34
CA Forum: Integrated Solutions
My company develops an application which uses Crystal Reports to present data to the user. We have been using the RDC API through our internal C code for a while now. From the documentation I have found on this site I cannot be certain that BO XI will support RDC. I have found documents discussing the new RAS API and how to migrate applications to RAS. Will BO XI still support RDC or will we be required to write to the new RAS API? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Post Author: ejthunder
CA Forum: Integrated Solutions
Hello,
The RDC is a development tool, so your post is better suited under the Development | Other category in the forums.
The RDC is still supported in CR XI (v11.0) and CR XI R2 (v11.5). The RDC has been depricated, so it's no longer receiving development focus, but it will still be supported for the lifecycle of the products it ships with. No firm retirement date has been given to anyone yet, but it's likely that the RDC will be retired in the next release or two.
The RAS API is a very powerful report design API, however it's not a true replacement for the RDC (unless you're using Report Creation API calls with the RDC now). RAS can be used with the .NET, COM (ASP), and Java SDKs.
Depending on how you actually use the RDC you'll want to consider which SDK you're going to migrate to - .NET, or Java, and then consider which API is appropriate.
I hope this helps.

Business Objects Query Builder - application server for data connections

Hi experts,
I am trying to flush out all instances where we have universes with connections pointed to the wrong application server. I was hoping to use query builder to show me the application server being used for all connections (metadata.dataconnection)
Is this possible?
Edited by: Khaled McGonnell on Nov 3, 2010 6:11 PM

Hi Srinivas,
I had tried SELECT * already : )
The application server is the server on which the BI system you are connecting to is located. You have to define this when you create the connection in Universe Designer.
You can see the application server for "connections if you use the following query:
select si_server from ci_systemobjects where si_kind = 'Connection'
However, these are not the connections used by universes. These connections are from logged in users. Any ideas?

SLoc disabled in MIGO for Material in MIGO for a PO

I am trying to create a MIGO for a PO and one of my materials is disabled and hence am not able to enter the SLoc for that material.
When I SAVE the transaction, I get an error to maintain the SLoc.
How can I maintain the SLoc for my first material now?
Thanks,
Kiran

Hi,
Can you check if the Material Master is set and a Sloc specific view and Plant specific view extist for that material.
Also, check if there are other PO with this material as Line Item and they aleast have the sloc populated in the PO..
You can try to edit the PO to append the sloc.
I have not faced this situation but of the view that , this PO might have got created with incomplete Material Master setup., if the Material Master sloc view is in place and if PO is having Sloc then this issue will not happen.
Hope this help.
Tnx
MJ
