Cancel & keep workitem in SAP inbox.

Hi Workflow Experts,
while executing a workitem , when i click on "cancel & keep in sap Inbox" , which BAPI gets called ????.
My requirement is :- if my workitem is executed (which is a module pool program )& no action is taken ( like user clicks on "back" button ) , the workitem should remain in the SAP work place.
Thanks In advance,
Ashish

As I understand what you write you have created the approval screen yourself. Then the best option is to detect that cancel or exit was pressed and then throw the exception for cancelled execution (i.e. call the macro exit_cancelled). I prefer creating the screens in function groups for this purpose, as that makes it easy to pass information back to the calling method.
Side note: I started wondering when the spell checker indicated that I had misspelled cancelled. Why is it that every spell checker insists we all misspell the same way they do in USA? Annoying, is what it is! I want to keep my English English.

Refreshing workitem in sap inbox while reverting form two parallel level.

if a user raise a request whcih is supposed to get approved /reject/revert by level1 and level2 people parellelly, if level1 perform any of the activity of approve/reject/revert in his sap inbox ,level2 sap inbox logically should get clear respectivly and vice versa if level2 perfom the same activity.
in my scenario
the request from level0 goes to level1 & level2 ,both of them are autherized to approve/reject/revert the document,
whosoever from level1 or level 2 perform the activity first in thier sap inbox..accordingly for other level sap inbox clear the work iteam as that activity has been already triggered by any 1 of them.
in this context..the approve and revert function work perfectly..if level1 person will aprrove or reject,respectively the same activity in level2 inbox get clear as it is already performed by level1 ,but in revert function. if level1 revert the document from his sap inbox thn the same activity for same document its not gettting cleard from level2 sap inbox .
as for approve and reject..the respective function will get performed and workflow get closed .but for revert ..the document will be sended to initiator for change,once the initiaotr make the changes it has to come again for level1 & level2 approve/reject/revert user decision.
please let me know for revert function how i synchronize the level1 & level2 activity.if level1 sent the document for revert thn how to clear the same work item from level2 sap inbox parellely.
how to refreshing workitem in sap inbox while reverting form two parallel authorised levels w.r.t to revert function triigerd by any of the level.

How are you sending the workflow item to level1 and level2.
The simplest way is to create a rule and assign it to the workflow item.
What the rule will do is fetch both level1 and level2 userids and pass the it to the workflow. When two userids are passed to a task the workflow item is send to their inbox. And so as anyone of them processes it, it disappears from the other person's inbox.
You dont need to use PARALLEL option.

Send Workitem from Sap inbox to outlook

Hi all,
Any one please explain how to send workitems in sap inbox to outlook.
What all configurations are needed?
Thanks in advance

First you need to be able to send an e-mail from SAP Business Workplace to your e-mail address. If that's not in place you need to configure the e-mail connector or whatever it is called. Basis people should be able to help you with that. It not only involves setting up SCOT to transmit messages with address type INT, you also need to have jobs running on your application server to pass on the SMTP messages.
Once that is working you can start thinking about e-mail notifications for workflow. If you have transaction code SWNCONFIG in your system, you should use the extended notifcations that you configure there - that is SAP's recommendation. In order to use it it seems you must have SAP Web AS running.
The other alternative (unless you are on a release < R/3 4.6C) is the report RSWUWFML2.
For assistance setting up any of these three, please post your specific questions.
In both cases you need to have a sender address defined for the user that executes the report, any user sending e-mail must have an e-mail address in the user record.

The value in LS_OBJKEY is the unique ID ...request ID in my case ....
Problem: The Workitem is not getting removed from my SAP INBOX.
Kindly share ur comments .
Thanks
Sonal

Hello,
Please don't SHOUT.
You say:
"WHEN I AM SENDING SPACE IN MY OBJKEY THE WORKITEM GETS REMOVED FROM THE SAP INBOX "
I have never tried creating an event with a blank object key, I can't see when that would be useful, but would it lead to the workflows seeing that as a terminating event? I'll have to to try that.
In the meantime, don't use SPACE as an object key, only create an event when you do have a key.

Hi Rickk ,
it is SBWP
it is intresting to see that case if one of approver reserves it for the purpose of evaluating later.
the thing is our onsite consultant asked like is it possible to keep the decision in the two approvers SAP Inbox after selecting cancel and keep workitem in the inbox.
is that possible ?

How to keep the reserve workitem in the inbox

Hi,
i am working with Two level PO approval process.
approver as an four option 1.to display the report 2. edit 3. release 4. reject .
whoever the approver chooses the option 1 &2 ( to display the report ) the report should be displayed ( custom report) to the approver and it should keep the workitem back to the inbox.
i debugged the SAP standard functionality for Cancel and keep the wokitem in the inbox.but i didn't get how to use the same in my program.
my workflow should behave as same as cancel and keep workitem in the inbox whenever approver chooses to display the report.
please can any one help in achieving this functionality.
advance thanks .

At <a href="http://help.sap.com">http://help.sap.com</a> you will find documentation for exit_cancelled. Just go to <a href="http://www.google.com">http://www.google.com</a> (or if you are using <a href="http://www.mozilla.org/firefox">Firefox</a> simply use the search function in the top right corner) and enter the following as search criteria:
site:help.sap.com exit_cancelled
You will find the documentation of the macro easily.
It is not easy for anyone here to say whats wrong with a custom report that doesn't display. There are always several possible reasons, but you (or another good ABAP-programmer) should be able to locate the problem by debugging.

Hello,
"After executing workflow , I am not getting the workitem in SAP inbox."
You are confusing workitems with emails. SENDTASKDESCRIPTION = email.

Appreciate all your help.

SAP inbox Search issue

We went live with ECC 6.0 from 4.7. a week ago. The SAP inbox used to work fine in 4.7. In ECC 6.0, The users are having trouble searching the workitems in SAP inbox. When user clicks on binocular icon, and enters the search term , even though the workitem exists in the users inbox, the search result is giving " no hits found' message.
Did anyone come across such issues ????

Workflow - Change description "Cancel and keep workitem in inbox"

Hi,
Can you please tell me whether we have a way to change the description of "Cancel and keep workitem in inbox" as "Cancel".
Thanks
Ashu

Hi Ashu,
The text is coming from the Text symbol of standard include program LSWU2F10.
Text symbol number is 301.
Check for enhansement option to change the text symbol.
But this change will affect all your decision step workflow's.
Thanks,

Cancel and Keep Workitem in Inbox

Hi,
My Workflow Step calls a Cutom Transaction which should have a button Cancel and keep Workitem in Inbox.How do i go abaout implementing this.
It should work similar to the User Decision cancel and keep work item .
My Step also has a Confirm End of processing Check.So if i click on the Cancel
the work item the screen confirm end of processin step should not appear and workitem should be in my Inbox

Hello,
Just call EXIT_CANCELLED. in your method. This cancels a WI without completing it and leaves it in the inbox.
<code to call screen/transaction>
if <your button was clicked>
exit_cancelled.
endif.
Cheers,
Mike

Correction, brain on holiday, it's exit_cancelled not exit_return.
