Changing Status of document should start workflow

Hi WF-experts,
another issue I have to deal with:
My WF should start after the status of a document has been changed.
The process is that the customer creates a document and saves the entries (status is "in process"). Later he wants to have the opportunity to change the sales document. If he sets the status to "for approval" the WF should start (with the approval process).
First I defined the event "CREATED" as start event but that is not right. I enhanced my business object (BUS200115) with a new event and mentioned that one in the start event tab of my workflow. But it does not work.
Do I have to define an action profile?
How can I start my workflow after changing a status of a sales document which was already created?
Thanks a lot

Depending on the type of document, you can trigger the event by change of status:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/c5/e4aee2453d11d189430000e829fbbd/content.htm
For example this works for "classic" SAP objects like production orders, document management documents, etc, and is a very nice way to handle it, because you can easily customize your status profile to support your business process. These status profiles are maintained in the IMG or transaction BS02 (BS22 displays system statuses for objects that use this status type).
I've noticed that a lot of newer SAP components don't support this though.
I hope it is helpful, if not in this case maybe in the future.

Start workflow on Document check In

Workflows initiate the moment I add a document even though it has not been checked in yet. I only want to start the workflow once the document has been checked in. How can I do that?

Hi spupload,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to initiate a workflow when adding a document, and start the workflow after the document has been checked in.
In SharePoint 2013 Designer workflow, it contains the SharePoint 2010 workflow platform, you can use "Wait for Change in Document Check-Out Status"action in SharePoint 2010 workflow platform, and change the status to Check-In.
More information about this action, please refer to the article:
http://info.akgroup.com/blog-0/bid/71286/SharePoint-2010-Workflow-Basics-Actions-Part-2-of-3
In addition, you need to set the workflow run when an item is added in workflow Start Options.

I want to know the procedure as well as the Function Module name which i can use to change the status of preceding documents. Also, I want to know the diffrence between SYSTEM and USER status as i was asked to change the USER STATUS.
Kindly Suggest...

Use FM CRM_WR_CHANGE_STATUS to change the status and then use FM
CRM_WR_ORDER_MAINTAIN to update the changes to Document.

User-Exit for document changes (status)

Hi!
I'm looking for an user-exit where I can check if the status of the document has been changed. Therefore I found the exit "EXIT_SAPLCV110_004" with the include "ZXCV110U04" which is triggered when a document (transaction CV02N) is saved. The problem is that there is no structure of the document provided so I cannot check the status of it! The interface if this exit is just
FUNCTION EXIT_SAPLCV110_004.
""Lokale Schnittstelle:
*" CHANGING
*" REFERENCE(PFX_OKCODE) TYPE SY-UCOMM
INCLUDE ZXCV110U04 .
ENDFUNCTION.
Is there another exit or how can I check if the status has changed for each document?
Thanks,
Konrad

You can code in EXIT_SAPLCV00_001. Write your code in the program ZXCV001U01. This has DRAW structure valeus and also DRAZ Item details.
FUNCTION EXIT_SAPLCV00_001.

Pricing should not be changed in billing document?

HI,
We have given manual entry provision for pricing in Sales order level . But as per the company requirement, the price should not be changed in the billing document. Also the point to be considered is, it is a delivery based billing. What is the configuration required to ensure that , System should not allow pricing to be changed in billing document when it is getting created.
I have checked the forum and found no threads linked to it. Kindly help me in this regard.
Thanks in advance
Rgds,
Sivarajesh. J

Hi ,
In SPRO -> S&D-> Billing Documents ->Maintain copying Control for Billing documents. Here select for copying control for ( based on your case) delivery type to Invoice type (Eg: Invoice type F2: Delivery type : LF) and then go to Item and select Item Category.
And then go to Item Category details (Eg: TAN) . Here you find Pricing type and based on your requirement you can select. If not satisfying your need then you can modify the copying requirement.

How to get the old and new statuses of CAD indicator (DRAW-CADKZ) while changing the status of document (DRAW-DOKST)?

I want to delete the originals of document while changing the status of document based on CAD indicator status. For this I have implemented BADI DOCUMENT_STATUS01 and the method AFTER_CHANGE_STATUS. From this, the BADI is triggering whenever I am changing the document status and I can able to delete the originals. But here my requirement is to check the CAD indicator status to delete those originals. I.e. whenever the document status will change first time the CAD indicator status will also change. Based on that old and new status of CAD indicator I have to do delete operation.
If anybody has an idea about SAP documents please help me
Thank you,
Regards,
Ramesh

First the document is exists in SAP in FR status. But when the CAD system will connect to SAP then the status is changing from ‘FR’ to ‘IN’ after that the CAD Indicator is populating from Blank to ‘X’.
I want to know in which place the CAD indicator value is changing (any user exits available or any BADI s available when changing the CAD indicator) when connected to CAD system.

Changing a Parked Document via workflow

Hi again
Before we did the upgrade from 4.7 to ECC6.0, on 4.7 approvers were able to make changes to parked documents via their inbox i.e. they would be able to go to change wrong data or add missing account assignments. However after the ECC6.0 upgrade when approvers access documents via their inbox they can only display the documents with only the option to release or reject and without the option to change.
Could this be a result of changes between 4.7 and ECC6.0 and if so what can we do to allow for approvers to be able to change parked documents via their inbox.

I found SAP Note 670910 explaining that this was actually a program error which allowed approvers to changed parked documents via workflow.

by default new document/templates start with above, How I change to be Strict 1.0 XHTML ?
Tell me for Dw MX2004 & CS4 ?
If I start with Transitional 1.0 XHTML and want to change to Strict 1.0 XHTML the only way is modify code or make a new doc ?

Using CS4, there are a few ways to do it:
1. when creating a new document - you can select the doc type preference.
2. In your preferences, you can set up which document type will be opened when you select a new document.
3. If you start with one doctype and want to convert it to another use:

Start Workflow when Upload File using drag and drop

Hi,
I am working with SharePoint 2013.
I have a workflow needed to be started and run only once after a document is uploaded into the document library. The document library has
required custom columns with default values. If I set workflow starting option as 'On Created', when user got redirected to the edit form and click 'Save', there would be error as
"The <filename> has been modified by <user> on <datetime>". Besides the unwanted error dialog, the metadata entered by users are not reflected. I understand the issue is because the workflow had already started before
the edit form showed and it modified the file.
So I changed the starting option to 'On Changed", created an additional column to record if the workflow has been run or not to avoid running the whole workflow more than once. This works fine for normal upload. However on drag and drop, the
event 'On Changed' is not triggered and the workflow is not started. I checked the version of the file but in both normal upload and drag and drop, there is another version after the first version. But
only the version of normal upload triggers the workflow.
I read an article about some Mode = Upload on the edit form.
https://go4answers.webhost4life.com/Example/workflow-triggered-during-upload-user-149297.aspx
It seems that the Mode = Upload is not there anymore for normal upload, but it's still there for drag and drop. Not sure about this
Is there a solution for my case. Basically I want to start the workflow only once when the document is uploaded normally or via drag and drop. For normal upload, user can
edit the custom metadata right after they browse the file. For drag and drop, the
metadata will be set as default values.
Thank you.

I'm still researching your issue, but as an interesting note... This is an issue only when I use a 2013 style workflow. I do not get the error when using a 2010 style workflow.

Changing Status Message in ALE

Whenever we post a order, and if that Order contains some error, it should throw a message to workflow inbox, telling the Order Number and the item Number for Error.
For Eg., Actual error defined in SAP is "Document contains same order item more than once", with 1st Parameter as 0000280145 and 2nd parameter as 00001. But in the workflow, the orginal error shows is just the text message described above i.e., "Document contains same order item more than once". I need to change it as "Document 0000280145 contains same order item 00001 more than once". I think, u mite got my requirement clearly.
Also in certain places, if there are more than two errors, it is getting stored in Application Log.
For Eg., Actual Error defined in SAP is "Messages from IDoc processing can be found in application log". When i click the application log, it tells two error messages...
1. Vendor material 97082D is unknown
2. Item 99999 of purchasing document 0001266463 does not exist
It is getting stored in some table (thro EDIDS-APPL_LOG). Even i need to pass this two errors in the workflow, instead of just "Messages from IDoc processing can be found in application log".
Also is there any function module exists or from which table i have to pass this APPL_LOG number, to get the necessary Text.
Is there any way to solve this?
Thanks and Regards,
Vijay G

Requirement looks bit strange to me, if at all the IDoc is not needed to be sent for error message then why to Generate them, just filter out creation of IDocs by setting the Filters in Distribution model.
For your requirements you may want to take a look at Badi HRALE00OUTBOUND_IDOC.

Error when sending xml to queue to start workflow

I am trying to start workflow by sending xml to the com.bea.wlpi.EventQueue. My xml
looks like this:
msgText:<zenith><claimAssignment><policyId>2990</policyId><claimId>1986</claimId><subjectId>1</subjectId><subjectTypeId>1</subjectTypeId><branchId>1</branchId><state>CA</state><county>LosAngeles</county><zipcode>91367</zipcode><claimantLastName>Bromberg</claimantLastName><catastrophic>N</catastrophic><workflowtasks>
<checkBranch>1</checkBranch><checkPolicy>0</checkPolicy><checkClaimType>1</checkClaimType><checkAlphaRange>1</checkAlphaRange><checkWorkload>0</checkWorkload></workflowtasks></claimAssignment></zenith>
I define variable claimId in start node as expression XPath("/zenith/claimAssignment/claimId/text()")
When invoking trying tostart the workflow I am getting the error javax.ejb.CreateException:
The mandatory input variable "claimId" is not specified. But it is defined with valid
XPath. Can somebody help me please?
Thanks,
David

Is this issue resolved? Could you share the AXL / Client profile agent logs during the login?
