Change Style in task description

Hi All,
     I am using a decision step in my workflow. I want to change the default font style associated with the task. The default is Form: System and the default paragraph is '*'.
     I want to use custom style for formatting the task description. The Menu option Change style in Change editor is not allowing me to select the zstyle i have created.
    I will appreciate if anyone can provide me a solution.
Thanks & Regards,
Manikandan Ramamoorthy.
Note: All supportive answers will be rewarded

Hi Barry,
I also checked, and we are not having any options to choose the particular style.
Hope its a limitation we have in workflow.
Because when i checked the same option SO10, we have an option choose.
So workaround will be like this:
Create your desired text in SO10 with your own style and include that standard text in your task description.
Hope it solves your issue.
Thanks and Regards,
Swaminathan

Search not working on Task Description

Hi,
I am facing a strange scenario with search not working on Task Description for a particular task item. This task item has around 18 versions of itself within it.
I tried replicating the same scenario in our Test environment with following changes in the task item description:
1. Copied the task list over to Test environment.
2. Deleted all the versions of this task and put a single line description as.
3. Initiated full crawl and search results with task description were
coming up fine.
4. Made few more versions : 5 Versions and again initiated full craw. Search results are fine.
5. Made few more versions this time and again a FULL crawl, but now NO results with this task description.
So, my question here is that is there any limit by MS for multiline text limit or version limit which prevents the task description from coming up in search results.
This task description as multiple line text with links to other lists/libraries and user names who created the versions in this task item. We are not using FAST search.

I found the answer elsewhere on the forum:
Somehow the main drive was added to the privacy list in Spotlight. Search is working fine now that I've removed it.

ME21Nu2014cursor at field quotation date (PO header) top task bar systemSatatus, Note down program name(SAPLMEGUI) ,screen number (1229) and field name (IHRAN) go to SE51, input program name and screen number choose radio button u201Celement listu201D press change go to subtab u201CText/ I/O templatesu201Dchange text part in column u201CText or I/O field u201C for component name MEPO1229-IHRAN(note IHRAN is field name you took down earlier on)save and activate the changes.

How to change sold to party description

Hi all,
I want to change sold to party description to customer in VA11/ VA21/VA01 (sold to party).
Is there any possibility to change it?
Please give me solution if it is possible............
Thanks in advance
Babu

Dear Babu,
There are two ways to change the description of Sold to party:
1. XD02 / VD02 - Change the Customer description, which would be Master Data change & would effect all Documents.
2. At time of Sales Order processing (which is what you want): VA01 / VA02 - Double click on Sold-to-party code & you will go to Header - Partner Data - Here once again click on Customer Code of required partner (Sold-to-Party in your case) & make the necessary changes.
There changes would be applicable only for the particular Sales Order & the Master Data would not be changed.
Hope this helps...
Thanks,

How to pass fields in task description so that it will come in sap inbox

Hi all.
(very urgent)
I am doing one workflow on vendor payment workflow.
I want to pass some fields in the task description so that that they will come in the user decision description.
Pls help me solving this.
Please replyif more clarification is needed.
Good points will be rewrded for solution.

Hi Tapu,
You did not find your BO means in the workflow container you has not mentioned ur BO. What is the Element name for your Object that will come here.
In your workflow template container should have Expression of ur Object(BUS2081). So, Create the Element for Expression in Wf Container.
Example in User Decision:
Title: Make Sure your Decision of Sales Order
Agents:
Expression: &SALESORDER& ( F4)
Decision Option:
Approved:: Send Notification Approved
Rejected:: Send to Initiator with Reason Rejected
Thanks and Regards,

How to round value of container element in task description

I am trying to round the value of the container element from 3 decimals to 2 decimals for display purposes.
The command symbol in the task description is &_WI_Object_Id.OverallTotalCost&. I have looked at SAP Help and I have tried the suggestion of &_WI_Object_Id.OverallTotalCost(.2)& and &_WI_Object_Id.OverallTotalCost(Z.2)& with no success.
I have also searched the sap-wug mailing list and SAP ITToolBox and found no references rounding a container element in a task description. I have seen code assigning a value to a packed decimal variable to round. But I have not been able to get this to work as a command in a description for a task.

I created a new element in the container as suggested by Glauco and added the element binding in the workflow / task binding. Biggest hassle was finding a business object that had a type of 2 decimal places to use for the new container element.
The reason why the SAPScript symbol for reducing the number of decimals does not work in Task texts is because the container elment symbols are resolved first as text. Therefore only the SAPScript commands that apply to text will work like length.

Double-spacing in my Task Description?!?

Hi Guru's!
Release 4.6C
I have created a perfectly normal decision task and added some text in the task description. The only thing that I have done differently this time is use the &ULINE(xx)& command.
When this task is executed, all the text comes out double-spaced (i.e. with a blank line between each line of text). Any idea why it's doing this?
Cheers
Lyal
EDIT: When I remove the &ULINE(xx)& command, it is still double-spaced.

Hi Guys
Thanks for the suggestions. Once again I have learnt the advantages of using the normal text editor as opposed to the pretty graphical one.
As it turns out, I had cut and pasted some text from a different task. In it's wisdom, SAP made each line a new paragraph. Going into the normal editor, it was immediately obvious that each line had a * next to it instead of being continuous text or a line feed (/). D'oh!
Abhishek, you can use normal SAPScript commands in your task description.
Cheers

Print out Standard text in Task description

Hi All,
is it possible print out the standard text in the workflow task description?
I need to display some information in the business workplace, but i don't know how to print out the standard text in task description.
Regards,
Luke

Hi Luke,
Are you lloking to print Standard texts in Workitem...
You can do that... you will have to first create a method to read SO standard text using READ_TEXT and pass it on to a multiline container which you will have to mention in the Task description.
For syntax please search relevant threads...

Attach ABAP report on SELFITEM in Task description

in the workflow object type SELFITEM method SENDTASKDESCRIPTION i want to attach a ABAP report in the Task description. how do i do it.

Hello,
I think you have rightly pointed out the reason of the error. You must have maintained the logical system 'QCCCLNT703' using transaction CRMS_IC_CROSS_SYS. However you also need to maintain the same entry in transaction SM59 with name RFC destination name as 'QCCCLNT703'.
I hope this would fix the issue.
Thankx,

How to changes standard sap label description

Hi !
I heard that there is a way ton change standard sap label description.
Please tell me how to do this ?
Thanks
moshe

Hi Solman
You can do that using the method i have mentioned in
my earlier post to change the descrptions. Mostly these
will be used for Product Attributes in Material Master
to give meaningful names as per our business. You can
find the same if you go through the documentation
following the below path
IMG -> Sales & Distribution -> System Modifications ->
Create New Fields( without Condition Technique).
Here check the documentation of "Reserve Fields in the
Customer Master Record"
Hope that can help you understand better.
Kind Regards

Dynamic task description in sap inbox displaying carriage returns as an * ?

Hi All,
I have a method in my business object whereby I dynamically create the description of the task for the sap inbox, ie. the description the user sees for the task in their sap inbox .
At first I built this description into an internal table of type tline.   I would have thought that each row of the table would begin on a new line but this did not happen. The rows ran into each other but were seperated by a semi colon.
Then I included a carriage return (cl_abap_char_utilities=>cr_lf) at the end of each row. This had the same output but instead of the semi colon, it output an asteriks.
Then I concatenated all the output into a string and passed this to a FM which splits the string at the carriage return and outputs the table. While this behaved as I wanted in a test program (i.e. new line for each row) , once I put the code in the business object, all the rows ran into each other again..
So is anyone aware of a way in which you can dynamcially build the task description and maintain the formatting you require?
I'd be very grateful if anyone could shed any light as I've been trying to get this going for a day and a half now and I'm about ready to give up!!
Many thanks,
Liz.

I had same requirement of displaying mutiple lines of workitem description. I used the following method for achieving my functionality.
Suppose multilineline text to displayed in the workitem description is:-
Line 1-> This is the the test text method to display description in the user defined format
Line 2-> which i want to show on my workitem to person approving the workitem.
Line 3-> Hello ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,how are u .............................................test test hello test.
1> I stored the data in an internal table which has one field of type c length 200.
2> I appened the data line by line into the table so that data is not overlapped and my format is maintained.
i.e Data : t_text   type table of ty_text,
               w_text type ty_text.
w_text-line = Line1.
appen w_text to t_text.
clear w_text.
w_text-line = Line2.
appen w_text to t_text.
clear w_text.
w_text-line = Line3.
appen w_text to t_text.
clear w_text.
3> The internal table T_TEXT will have three lines of data.
4> Now pass this table as it is on the workitem Description.It will display text as per ur format on the workitem description dynamically
