Extended Notifications for SAP Business Workflow

Hi expert,
i need your help!!
i have configured the "Extended Notifications for SAP Business Workflow" with the tnx SWNADMIN and this was successful. I can write emails, but i can read this only on SAP GUI with the tnx SOST. I don't receive email on my email-address.
can you say me, where is the problem?
Thank you in advance
marcel

Hi Marcel
Rope in your Basis Guy!
Basically, your Extended notif part is working fine..... emails reaching SOST is proof. Going out of SAP may need basis config.
What do you see, a yellow triangle or a red light in SOST?

How to use SAP Business Workflow along with Interactive Adobe Form

Hi Experts,
I am working on SAP Business Workflow since last couple of years.
Now i have got a new Project where client wants to use SAP Business Workflow along with Interactive Adobe Form.
I am new to Interactive Adobe Form and Portal thing and i really dont know from where to start.
We have one central system and 2 local systems. when we do create a Material document using adobe form workflow should trigger and notification should go to group of users who can approve or reject it, once they approve it document gets created in central system and replicated to 2 local system through ALE.
In the Local system they do extend the document to different plants, again workflow triggers and notification will go to Managers inbox for the approval.
Once the final approval done data should go and store in SAP.
Now here i have couple of Questions.
1. In SAP R3 Business workflow when i execute the workitem from the inbox i do get the application screen ( i.e. MM01 MRP View ) , what is going to happen if the same case i have with Adobe form?? is it possible or do we have to design a adobe form and we will have to map the fields with backend application??
2. Do i have to maintained 3 separate Org Structure for 3 different system or using UWL i can manage the show
3. Untill final submit is not done, where the application data is going to be, is there any kind of buffer that we will have to keep it or its there with XML file??
Please help me out.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Manoj

Hi Manoj,
Welcome to ADOBE Forms related Workflow Development. Well, here are my answers.
1) You can go for either go for ISR based development or WD development with Adobe form. In both the cases you can achieve your requirement. Yes, you will have to design the Adobe form and bind the fields to backend.
2) Am not clear or your System landscape to advice you in these regards.
3) Until final Submit/Approval is done, the data can be stored in WORKFLOW CONTAINERS or XML FORM(If you go for ISR based Development).
Hope this helps.

Skip the Creation of Maintenance Notification

I would like to know the effect if i will skip or remove the process of creation of Maintenance notification in SAP PM. The process will start with the creation of Order, if there's an external service required the Maintenance Order will be converted into PO if no external service or material will close the Order.
Since the Creation of Maintenance Order will generate Notification, we were thinking that creation of Notification is redundant if the system allows to create order and notification in one transaction.
What would be the effect of this, thanks and God bless.

Greetings Peach,
As the experts, who had already answered observed, this is purely a business process consideration. If your (Client's) organization supports a "streamlined" process in which direct Order creation is beneficial you can go for it.
As you've written "Since the Creation of Maintenance Order will generate Notification, we were thinking that creation of Notification is redundant if the system allows to create order and notification in one transaction." I assume you are still using Notification and Order integration. But as Yogesh Dhokne mentioned, this is optional as well.
If you choose to create a Notification in the background, you can still register breakdown times for MTTF/MTBF calculations, Catalog Codes for tracking and any additional information once the Orders are created.
But consider this: How is work requested, released for execution and reported? If you only create Orders, you have only Orders to go on. Therefore, you might require more verbose User Status management, and you may find yourself with Orders that are being created unnecessarily and have to be closed, Orders being released prematurely... You have to have a very "flat" process around this immediate Order creation.
On the other hand, consider that having Notifications created prior means a more "deep" process and more overhead, but you can have a step to filter works to be released on the Notification level before Orders are created, if you have more than one Notification for the same work, you can assign it to a single Order, and you have more options when designing roles and authorizations, since you can separate access and business transactions for Notifications and Orders for your Operations and Maintenance users, if necessary.
Please ask further questions if you have any!

Rename "BPM and Workflow" forum to "SAP Business Workflow"

G'Day,
99% of posts in the [BPM and Workflow|SAP Business Workflow; forum deal with SAP Business Workflow. It was originally intended for ccBPM which - though they share some underlying architecture - is basically XI / PI.
A few ccBPM posts occasionally appear in the WF forum, but they are generally not answered and more appropriate in XI. These days I usually move them to XI when it's clear that the 'local' population won't answer it.
So to avoid confusion for people I propose to rename the forum to SAP Business Workflow or at least something that doesn't confuse it with XI.
Any input welcome.
Cheers,
Mike

Hi Mike,
Well, you probably already know what I think ;).
If there is little to no traffic for BPM, then let's call the forum what it is, SAP Business Workflow - Or Workflow and Guided Procedures?
Sidebar: I posted a question to various forums a few weeks ago, regarding 'How can SAP, and ASUG WF/BPM serve you better'. I am summarizing the responses I got below, in hopes that it helps guide you in your quest. The names have been excluded to protect the identities, but I think there is some very valuable info in here. Particularly the final point - which I will follow up on with the respondent.
Anyway, you didn't ask for it, but here it is.
> 1. Have you attended any webcasts related to SAP lately?
No. Not lately, and not ever. (I suppose I am old-fashioned...)
> 2. Are there any topics related to Workflow and BPM that you think are
> important for the 'community'?
Integrating workflows and guided procedures - e.g. enhancing existing workflows to use browser interfaces.
> 3. Looking ahead a year, what do you see as challenges in this area?
Processes that can be executed either in R/3 or in browsers, with information about the process progress etc, as in Guided Procedures. This will probably be the developers nightmare for the next few years.
1. Have you attended any webcasts related to SAP lately?
-yes I did - quite a few, but mostly on web related stuff and XI.
2. Are there any topics related to Workflow and BPM that you think are important for the 'community'?
- personally for me, I still find the guided procedure in Portals not so user friendly and limited. I think more education and influence around GP will be great. I think the community will also appreciate it.
3. Looking ahead a year, what do you see as challenges in this area?
- GP and UWL. I think the concept of "IT doing the first time and the business managing their rules" would be challenging. I have not yet seen this happen, especially on the logistics side. There is a session this year on the same topic at TechEd and I look forward to this session. Hopefully it will help us get some insight.
Right now I am struggling with even getting Workflow off the ground and getting the business to understand what Workflow is and trying to have them budget for it. Workflow is still new to the functional group and even getting them to consider Workflow verse alternatives is somewhat of a challenge. I really have had a great consultant that has taken me under his wing and taken the time to teach me. I think we would be a great story for a presentation.
My challenges for the next year, is how to get over the hump of selling workflow to the business and actually getting projects planned out. I don't know if anyone has an anwer to that one. My other challege is how to handle transfer of knowledge and maintaining workflow that has been built by consultants.
1) I have not attended many SAP webcasts (just one on Solution Manager in the past few months) I'm planning on attending one this comming Monday on BPM.
2) I think understanding UWL / SBWP differences, advantages, limitations on one vs the other, would be an important topic.   Also more information on Extended Notiications
3) Challenges: Upgrades and impact on WF, Unicode and WF and having more WF ABAP OO objects delivered by SAP, other than the "Absence Notification" sample.
1.       I havenu2019t personally attended but as a company we give a webinar once a week and weu2019ve had some great attendance
2.       Technically I think weu2019re OK. We see the need to tell C-level execs where workflow / BPM can help them in businessu2026.
_3.       Workflow is becoming more and more obscure in the SAP landscapeu2026

Integrating ECC business workflow into CRM

What is the best approach for integrating (or not) ECC business workflow into CRM?
For example, lets say you have an elaborate custom workflow built in ECC for blocked sales orders which triggers a workitem to the CSR user ID into the SAP SBWP inbox.
But now you are implementing CRM and your customer service reps want to "live" in CRM.
So you want them to be aware that they have a blocked order assigned to them in ECC SBWP inbox.
Whats the solution?
Do they have to toggle over and login to ECC, so they have to "work" 2 inboxes?
Is there some solution existing in SAP between these 2 systems that synchs the workflows, such that you can open and process and complete the workflow inside CRM?
Do you have to write some custom "notification" that sends CRM a message letting them know ECC has something?
We have order management in ECC, CRM only being used for service notifications and customer interactions, but CSRs envision "one cockpit" or one inbox for all their to-dos.
We do not use Portals, so the integrated inbox is not an option.

Hi Jason,
Did you find a solution for this ?
I have a similar requirement where i need to trigger a workflow in SAP CRM and i need the approval request to flow to ECC as my approvers work only in ECC and never in CRM !
Is this integration a valid scenario ? and can we configure this ?
It would be of great help you you can share any documents available on the same.,
Thanks & regards

Workflow in Notification

Hi,
Can any body help me in getting workflow in notification.can give path also be appreciated.
thanks
vardhan

Hi
Workflow is used to inform the people or departments responsible automatically that a series of tasks must be executed in the following order:
Processing of a newly created maintenance notification (notification status Outstanding)
Processing of a maintenance notification with outstanding tasks (notification status In process)
Completion of a maintenance notification (status of all tasks Completed)
The person(s) or department(s) responsible receive a mail (work item) in their inbox informing them of the tasks to be performed
Creation of notification/changing of status of notification or completion of notification can be taken as an event to trigger mail to various users/groups for follow up actions. You can consult a workflow consultant/ABAPers to incorporate your logic for workflow as in standard you dont have such flexibility.

Problem in creation of Maintenance Notification.

Hi All,
I have a requirement to create a maintenance notification through BAPI. When I tried to create it by bapi 'BAPI_ALM_NOTIF_CREATE' , I am having one issue.
Whenever we create a notification by T-code 'IW21' there is one flag for 'Put in Progress' which changes the phase of notification from 'Outstanding' to 'In Progress'. But whenever I am creating with the help of BAPI this notification is deirectly going to 'In progress' Phase. I have checked all the parameters of this BAPI but didn't found any such flag.
So If anybody have solution like how to create initially notification in Outstanding phase and later if we need to change it how to change it, please help me out.
Thanks in Advanced.

Deepak,
Can you please elaborate your query.
What all fields are you passing in this BAPI and what the program you are using this BAPI.

SAP Business Workflow and SAP Netweaver Gateway - Missing extensible elements

Hello,
For a mobile project we use SAP Netweaver Gateway in order to retrieve information from workflows stored into SAP Business Workflow.
We are able to retrieve standard informations for a workflow but custom fields added into "Extensible Elements" section are lost when exit SAP NG.
We have checked the configuration of SAP NG (by 4 differents person) and it seems to be OK.
Do you have an idea why the custom fields are lost during SAP NG processing ?
Thanks in advance

EPM Workflow Email Notifications

I have inherited an EPM implementation that has EPM Workflow Email Notifications. The email text is not very informative and I want to customize this text to something more meaningful. I have been told this cannot be done, but find this very hard to believe.
Does anyone know if this can be done? Many thanks, in advance.

Hi,
I am assuming these email notifications are sent when the project moves between workflow stages, approval etc.? The short answer is: yes, the text of the email notifications can be updated. However, it depends on how your workflows have been built, which
tools have been used (e.g. SharePoint Designer, Visual Studio, 3rd party tool etc.) and the project server version - 2010/2013.
If you are using project server 2013, check if the workflows have been built using SharePoint Designed (open the PWA in SharePoint designer and check the site workflows)
Hope this helps

Create event to start sap business workflow

Hi all,
I'd like to raise an event in java webdynpro which starts a business workflow.
The Workflow already exists, There is a ESS with java webdynpro, which uses floorplan manager. When an employee enters some data in the ESS and clicks on the "Save" button, an event should be raised by the appplication (to start a business workflow)
My problem is, that I don't know:
-How to raise that event in java webdynpro?
-Where to raise that event in java webdynpro?
I've already modified the view, and it works perfectly (If the user clicks on the "Save" button, the entered data transfered to the SAP system.) The application is using the floorplan manager, and I can't find the "Save" button, therefor, can't raise the event, when the user clicks on it

I've already found that description. I set up the FPM in the portal. I registered a new event :
Event type = Save
EventID = "SAVE"
Description = "Save the infotype"
I have a Business Object, in the R/3 system which has an event called ".ON_CHANGE_INFOTYPE" This event starts a workflow.
My question is: How can I start this workflow??
The process should be something like this:
User clicks "Save" on the portal -> The FPM creates the "SAVE" event -> the SAVE event invokes the ONCHANGE_INFOTYPE_ -> the ON_CHANGE_INFOTYPE starts the workflow.
So what should I do? Create the event in the embended view and catch in in the onSAVE method? How can I start the workflow int he R3 system from the java webdynpro portal?

Issue Transporting Business workflow from one System to Another

Hi All,
As there are many limitations in Import/Export of Workflow I'm going for a Transport of Workflow from one sytem to another.
There are some query's reagrding transporting of the Business Workflow through Transport Request.
1)   How can get the Transport Request no. of the Workflow to be transported? (As there are no direct versions displayed from menu).
2)   If there are any dependent objects first how to find the dependent objects lof workflow like if any data element, Domain, Table, Structure (if these objects are used in your WF definition or may be BOR method), Function module, function group BOR, Rule, WF template, task and Task assignment ?
3) How to get Transport Request no. of such dependent objects specifically The Task,Rule , WF template etc.?
4) I have object Type ZBUS2081 related to it how can i get its TR ?
Please describe as I'm new to workflow.
Please identify if there can be some issues after transporting workflow .
Regards,
Ujjwal

Hi Ujjwal,
Please find the below hint's.
1. Regarding the objects included in the Transport request check the Tables - E070*.
2. For dependent objects, you should check the workflow template. You have to check all the Task's and in the task go to
   utilities ---> Object directory entry --> Lock overview . Here you can see the request. It will show you the current request for    the Task.
3. To get the TR for Business object, Go to basic data ---> Transport data --> Here you can see the Request ID for the business object.
Thanks,
Viji.

In Business workflow outbox 2 days messages are missed

Hi All
In Business workflow outbox 2 days messages are missed, i.e in the entire January 12th and 13th dates only
what might the problem and how to solve this please help me
Thanks in advance
Jaya Naidu

First, have him go to Mail>Preferences>Accounts
Then have him locate his account and your account on the left.
Have him click and drag the .mac account below his account in the list.
This will solve the default setting of mail going out from your account when he clicks on the Inbox.
Removing the smtp server for .mac may not even work for him, especially if the account is active.
Instead click on "advanced" and there should be a check box for "enable this account", deselect the box. This disables the account without deleting any mail.

Difference between SAP Business Workflow and CRM Workflow

Hello guys,
Is there any difference between SAP Business Workflow and CRM Workflow?
Are there others workflows types in SAP?
In all SAP Workflow Courses (BIT600, BIT601, BIT603, BIT610) only was talked about SAP Business Workflow, and nothing about CRM Workflow.
Thanks a lot!
Kleber

Hello Kleber,
There is not much of the differance between CRM workflows and SAP Business workflows..
Workflows are esentially part of Basis (BC) components and hence its the same across all SAP products as all these products have components of Basis(BC) in them...
To Conclude, SAP Busines workflows and CRM workflows are the same things... However when you work on CRM, the BOR objects would be belonging to CRM and not to ECC... However conceptwise , there in no change at all.. If you learn BIT100......, you can also work on CRM workflows..

Anand
