Changes to workflow template

Hey Gurus,
What are the potential problems from changing one of the SAP Standard workflows? Being rather new I did not make a copy of WS20000075 before trying to customize it to what we needed. I see that there is a version 0000 that looks like the orginal template, is that correct? If so, would I be able to delete the other two versions and have the original back to make a copy of?
Any insight into this would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
You can check what was the last version modified by SAP in the version history( In BASIC DATA) itself revert it to that level...
... but one thing i missed last time... hope you have not changed any version independent thing related to this workflow like bindings, task definitions etc... In that case those changes won't be reverted back... you will have to check the consistency of the workflow once you revert back...
Regards
Gautam

  • Changes to Workflow Template not creating a Transport

    I have a workflow in DEV that I thought had been transported to TST, but it must have been inadvertantly overlooked.  I am now trying to create a transport to move this template to TST.  I make a minor change to the template and I am not prompte to create a new transport.
    We have checked all of the outstanding transports and this template is not found in any of them.
    Is there a way to force a transport on the workflow template so I can transport it to TST?
    Thanks.

  • How to transport changes made on Workflow Template to other cleint

    We have make changes to Workflow template via tcode PFTC_CHG (Change Task), with workflow builder screen, we make changes on the standard task, work item text etc, save the changes to workflow template WS90000XXX. However the changes we make is not save under a Transport Request number.
    How to make the changes on workflow template to save under a transport request and transport it to other client. ?

    Hi Eric,
    All development and customization of workflwo are saved in a transport request.
    If while making the changes it did not prompt you for a TR then check the TR in whcih the task was created.
    To port TRs follow the below procedure:
    1. Go to t-code SCC1.
    2. Select the transport request number and enter the source system (client)
    3. Click on 'Including Request Subtasks.
    4. Click on button 'Start immediately'
    This would port the TR.
    Please note to port workbench TRs before the customizing TRs.

  • SAP Workflow Template Changes

    Hi Experts,
    I have a custom Workflow template that needs some changes.
    - Change in the BO method code of an existing standard task of this template
    - Addition of elements in the main container of this template
    - Changing the container bindings for email steps / edit email
    How should I go about doing these changes, please advise
    - Once I open the template in SWDD, is it advisable to goto Menu Workflow->Generate Version or directly edit the template and save.
      Which is the best practice / difference it makes ?
    - Any specific order that I need to follow while changing the different template components
    - While transporting the TR for workflow templates, what should be taken care of ?
        In Production system, version is 0003 and in Dev it is 0004, both with the same dates.
    Also pls provide any link/document that can guide on the workflow change process, it would be great.
    Thanks in advance for your time and inputs !

  • MIRO: Activate Workflow template for Price Blocking

    Dear Friends,
    I am in the process of configuring WF for the Price block at the time of posting of invoices.
    I maintain the following setting in customizing:
    Logistics Invoice Verification->Invoice Block->Activate Workflow Template->TG 20000030    Assign agents to tasks->WS 20000397 Treatment of inv. blkd for price, Log.IV->TS 20000661 At least 1 item blocked for price reas.?
    Now for this task, I want to assign the PO creator. I do not want to assign Agent as a specific SAP user. It should be the generic user who creates the PO.
    Business Requirement: A mail should be sent to purchaser, when the invoice is blocked for price reasons.
    Please Advise.
    With Kind Regards
    Faisal

    Friends,
    I want to set a deadline monitoring for a case when the approver doesnt execute the workitem even after 2days. (so I believe I need to use "Requested Start")?
    Further I understand how this is  done, my question is can we do change it to the standard template or do I need to copy it and then make the changes.
    Also Kindly share some information on using SRM ALERTS for the same functionality to send reminders/alets to approvers on delay of approving task.
    Thank you so much.

  • New number for a workflow template

    Hi all,
    do you know if it's possible in 4.7 to change the number of a workflow template, for example from WS90000017 to WS90000007. After some technical problems I need this kind of operation but I've seen that after a copy the number is automatically created by the system using an ordered sequence.
    Thanks in advance, best regards.
    Angelo

    Hi Anjelo,
    Number of workflow template is generated automatically by the system based on Workflow customization settings.
    And the very intension is to have each workflow template a unique number across the system.
    By the way, what was the reason, you needed a diferent number for same template?

  • Not able to open the workflow  Template.

    Hi All,
    Recenlty we have moved the workflow templates from 4.6c to ECC 5.0. We are able to open all the workflow templates except one workflow .
    While trying to open the workflow template Via PFTC_DIS or SWDD, We are getting following error.
    "Type definition for element 'DEL_TEXT' is invalid".
    Please help me in this issue.
    Thanks in advance,
    Sarayoodharan.K

    "Type definition for element 'DEL_TEXT' is invalid".
    I feel like in the new system to which the workflow was transported, there in that system, in the workflow conatiner this element is missing and
    You can get confirmed, by using Syntax Check (CTRL + F2 ) which might help you to know a better status of the workflow template which is bothering you
    Please make a check and try to report the workflow, if there any exsists , then please Generate a version of currrent definition workflow and then make changes to it to fix the bug associated with the Workflow template

  • Urgent! Empty Workflow Template

    Hi.
    The Workflow template WS12300026 is empty in the latest SAP version... Anyone that knows why?
    SAP delivers WS12300025 and WS12300026. The difference between the two is that with *26 the budget req. can be changed if rejected.
    Best regards,
    Eli-A.

    Well I had a similar situation but that was with custom workflows.. anyways try implementing note 981295.. might be of help to you.
    check out my Workflow Transport: Definition missing

  • RE: standard workflow template for Rejecting of purchase order

    Hi,
    Workflow template for 'Rejecting of purchase order' , 65400030 is missing in SAP version 4.6c. Is there any patch to get this feature in 4.6c?
    Thanks and Regards,
    Sowmya

    Hi,
    Yes, it was posted previously. But we are getting some more problem regarding the workflow template.
    We have changed the standard template and it is getting reflected in all the clients. So i think these templates are client independent. Is there any way to retrieve back older version of these templates?
    Please go through this matter and reply at the earliest
    Thanks and Regards,

  • "There are no workflows templates available" error but actually workflow exist

    I am using SharePoint 2013 on-premise farm. The workflow manager 1.0 is installed although we do not build any workflow on that.
    On a site collection, when user try to create a workflow on "Pages" library, the error "There are no workflows templates available" occur. Checking ULS log there is nothing useful
    Microsoft.SharePoint.SPException: There are no workflows templates  available. Please contact helpdesk     at  Microsoft.SharePoint.WorkflowServices.ApplicationPages.AddWrkflPage.OnLoad(EventArgs  e)     
    at System.Web.UI.Control.LoadRecursive()      at  System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain(Boolean  includeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint, Boolean includeStagesAfterAsyncPoint)
    By using SharePoint Designer 2013 we can see the workflows "Publishing approval" exist. I clicked on "Publish" button on SharePoint Designer, the problem is fixed. User can see the workflow "Publishing approval" when he try
    to create a workflow on "Pages" library.
    However, some hours later user call and said the problem recoccur. I checked with Designer the workflow still exist and no change for "Last modified time". If I clicked on "Publish" again it will fix again.
    My question is,
    How can we check whether a workflow have been published? Any parameter?
    How can we "unpublish" a workflow?
    Any event could "unpublish" of a workflow?
    Many thanks. Any input is welcome.

    Hi,
    According to your description, you are unable to get the workflows "Publishing approval" template in SharePoint UI.
    Make sure you have activate the Publishing Approval Workflow feature. If you have activate the Publishing Approval Workflow feature, deactivate it and active it again.
    Site Settings -> Site Collection Administration ->Site collection features ->activate Publishing Approval Workflow feature.
    1.How can we check whether a workflow have been published? Any parameter?
    We can check whether the workflow is existing in the SharePoint UI.
    2.How can we "unpublish" a workflow?
    Under normal circumstances, we aren’t "unpublish" a workflow.
    3.Any event could "unpublish" of a workflow?
    Deactivate the feature which is related to the workflow.

  • "Workflow Template Create" screen  appears while executing the work item.

    Hi,
       I am learning the workflow. I have created a test workflow in which there is a user decision step and 2 mail sending steps for the outcomes of the user decision.The workflow is activated properly . When I excute the workflow the screen for "Workflow Template Create" opens everytime. When I go to the Business workpkace a mail is there in my inbox with the title as given in the user decision step. Again when i am trying to execute the work item in the inbox again the same screen for "Workflow Template create " is opening. I am totaly confused with this problem . Pls suggest what might be the reason..?

    I think the Wflow Template Creation screen is not opening but your current session is getting closed so the previous session which is Wflow Create one which you have already opened is appearing. Please check your template design and act accordingly.
    Thanks

    Q1. Is it recommended to change the template after it is being used.
    Q2. If really need to edit the template in mid of appraisal process how do we go forward.
    Thanking you in advance.

    Hi Suresh,
    We are on ECC 6.0 and SP 43.
    We need to put some extra fields / Notes to the targets and extra sub statuses to correctly identify the condition.
    But already appraisal process started and documents are created. Now we cannot either create the same documents in new template or postpone the appraisal template change to next year.
    In this situation we decided to change the existing template. We want to know what will be the implications if we change the template in development and transport it to production???
    Download and upload will create a new template which will not be useful for our case.
    Thanking you in advance.
    regards,
    Kamal.
