Configure UWL for SRM business workflow..

All,
This is something new to me, I am trying to integrate SRM workflow system and UWL iView in Portal.
What are the configurations I need to do? Any step-by-step instructions??
Appreciate your help.
Thank you, John Miller

Thanks Rajendra,
I did the configurations as you mentioned, seems like it's working
Is there a possibility to modify the UWL iVIew, so the End Users can approve/reject multiple items at once?
Something like providing radio buttons for approval/rejection for each item in the UWL iVIew?
Thanks, John

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?

Configuring UWL for ESS

Hi All,
How to configure UWL for ESS & MSS Business Package in Portal
Thanks & Regards
Kirubakaran D.

The configuration of the UWL isn't so much for ESS and/or MSS as it is for just your portal users in general. The configuration of the UWL is actually done in the portal itself under the System Administration role. I suggest starting there and reading all the information. Also, the help.sap.com documentation on the UWL generally will step you through it all. Even in the MSS help documentation, there is a basic section on setting up "bare bones" UWL config. Have a go at that first.

Confirmation tasks in UWL for SRM 7.0

Hi,
We are currently running SRM 7.0 classic scenario. We would like to have a user's confirmations display in the UWL. From this we would like to be able to use the "Substitute" function of the UWL to assign the task to a different user. Does anyone know if this is possible and how we can get the confirmation work item to display in the user's UWL?
Thanks,
Jeff

Hello Jeffrey,
First, check workflow log status for your business object using SWI1 transaction to be sure WI is waiting for approval
Then, check WI is inside user's Business Work Place ( SBWP transaction): if yes, there is a connection problem between SRM and your Portal or Portal settings are not correct.
Regards.

Configuring UWL for MDM

Hi All,
I am working on an EP MDM scenario where i have to configure a UWL for MDM. Can anybody please provide me with the step by step details of how to perform this task??
Is the procedure different for Custom MDM repositories??
Also, do i need to work on Guided Procedures for this??
Please help me out at the earliest as it is very urgent!!!
Useful answers will surely be rewarded.
Thanks,
Becky.
Edited by: Becky Joseph on May 8, 2008 5:53 AM

Hi Becky,
Please follow the below steps:
1. Deploy the SCAs available with the MDM Installables in the Portal Content and JAVA API on the portal.
2. Restart the Portal Server.
3. Create the MDM System with system alias and User mapping and test the connection with the MDM System.Assign the main table name in the Tables with Workflows property of the System.
4. Search for the eu role and assign it to the user
5. Go to the System Administration -> Support -> Portal Runtime -> Application Console. Select the com.sap.netweaver.bc.UWL from the drop down list and there you will get the option of refresh.Also below that there will be two restart options do all these things.
6. Again select com.sap.MDM.UWL from the drop down list and refresh and restart it.
7. Go to the System Administration -> System Configuration and select the Universal Worklist from the Detailed navigation pane.
8. Create the new Universal Worklist System and assign the System Alias of the system that you have created previously and select the connector type as MDMUWLConnector.
9. Deactivate and Activate again to clear the Cache.
10 . Your Workflow records should be visible in the Work role created after assigning the eu role to the user.
Also refer to the below document for better picture

Can i Cannge the WF_INITIATOR for SRM Approval Workflow.

Hi Experts,
I am facing issue related to sendor name format.
Whenever SRM approval workflow gets triggered then corresponding responsible user(Approver) gets a mail in their SAP inbox.
I checked in the system these workflow runs using RFC_USER user.So approver gets mail with sendor information as RFC_USER i.e. "Sent: Jun 17, 2011 by RFC_USER, Functional ID "
My requirement is to replace this RFC_USER with some other generic user.
Can anybody tell me please how can i achieve this.
Thanks,
Rupendra Pandey

Hello,
Usually, if I want to do anything unusual with mails from workflow then I create a step which calls a task which calls a new method of my BOR object which calls fm SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1. In that we can specify Sender name different from WF_BATCH or RFC_USER.
Check the following Code for sending mail.
CALL FUNCTION 'SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1'
   EXPORTING
     document_data                    = doc_chng
     put_in_outbox                    = 'X'
     sender_address                   = 'SAPSCHED'

SAP Organizational Plan for SAP Business Workflow

Hi,
This is question is specific to SAP Business Workflow within ECC, relating to SAP Organizational Management:
We have more than one instance of SAP, where one instance is used to run all of our business, except SAP HR (let's call this SAP Instance 1), and another instance that is only used for SAP HR (let's call this SAP Instance 2);
We want to implement SAP business workflow (e.g. approving requisitions through workflow in ECC);
Is it possible to use our SAP organizational plan that is already defined in our SAP HR instance of SAP (SAP Instance 2), instead of defining an SAP Organizational plan in SAP Instance 1 only to support SAP business workflow.
Is it possible to define an interface from SAP Instance 1 to 2, to look up the requisition approver, pass it back to instance 1, and then send the workflow to the appropriate person. Or is there another better approach? e.g. Replicate organizational plan that exists in instance 2 in instance 1? SAP tools for this?
From what I have briefly read online thus far, I understand that "The organizational plan is part of the PD component "Organization and Planning. The organizational plan is maintained on a client-dependent basis. An organizational plan which was created for personnel management purposes (or is to be created) can be used in SAP Business Workflow without any changes, provided the workflow functionality and the personnel management application run in the same client." To me, this sounds like that the workflow functionality and organizational plan must exist in the same system and client.
Any thoughts, suggestions, or any advice to share?
Cheers,

Hi AD1981,
Standard solution would be using distributed Organisational Management. There is custom ALE for this (check tcode SALE: Application Link Enabling (ALE) -> Modelling and Implementing Business Processes -> Predefined ALE Business Processes -> Human Resources -> Master Data Distribution -> Set Up Distributed Organizational Management). Basically you would maintain organsation in HR system and distribute changes to other instance using ALE. Workflow would rely on the distributed org. structure.

Standard Behaviour of Due Date in UWL for SRM Workitems

We have a deployment of Enterprise Portal which is integrated to SAP SRM (7.02). I have two queries regarding the standard behaviour of "Due Date" column in UWL:
1. The column always displays today as the due date for all shopping carts, irrespective of delviery date. I would like to know whether this is an issue and also would be helpful if you elaborate on how is this calculated.
2. The column is showing blank for any workitems other than shopping carts (Purchase Order change workitem, User change approvals, Invoice approvals etc.)
Thanks

Dear ArulPrakash
I hope you are well and many thanks for using the SAP Discussion Forums .
With reference to the scenario that you have described you mentioned the following:
You have a deployment of Enterprise Portal which is integrated to SAP SRM (7.02). You have two queries regarding the standard behaviour of "Due Date" column in UWL:
The column always displays today as the due date for all shopping carts, irrespective of delviery date. You would like to know whether this is an issue and also would be helpful if you elaborate on how is this calculated.
The column is showing blank for any workitems other than shopping carts (Purchase Order change workitem, User change approvals, Invoice approvals etc.)
Ok regarding your queries kindly let me attempt to provide some clarification and oversight.
Firstly in terms of the column and the fact it displays todays date as the due date (irrespective of the actual delivery date). Now from a broad level overview perspective it is possible to change the display of the due date in the UWL. In the standard xml file you will see the following: <DisplayAttribute name="dueDate" type="date" width="" sortable="yes" format="medium" referenceBundle="due_date" hAlign="LEFT" vAlign="BASELINE" maxTextWidth="0" headerVisible="yes"/> The medium format refers to the output of the field displaying the date as follows: Jun 01, 2014. The short format refers to the output of the field displaying the date as follows: 06/01/14.The long format refers to the output of the field displaying the date as follows: June 01, 2014. The full format refers to the output of the field displaying the date as follows: Tuesday, June 01, 2014. I've attached some reference documentation below for further reference on both your queries.
Secondly regarding the blank columns for workitems. Here the first thing which needs to be ensured is that SAP Note: 1133821 - UWL Destination Service configuration is followed and setup accordingly in terms of configuration settings and parameters. Now you mention that this is occuring for another other item other than shopping carts? Are custom attributes involed here? Could you please have a look at the help document below to check the bahavior of retrieving custom attributes in UWL? http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/ef/f2aed99c414f81adacc6b897a6910a/content.htm

Using TASK TS40008005 for SRM invoice workflow with portal integration

Hello Experts,
we are using processed based workflow.
within a new workflow scenario it is necessary that the approver should read the details first of the invoice. for this reason we want to avoid that the buttons for approval appears on the portal uwl. It should only appears "details".
is it possible to send a task like 40008005 with parameters that will influence portal uwl in this way ?
in data container of taks 40008005 there are parameters like Task Type valued with "DECIDE" and BOMODE valued with "APPROVAL".
in the details view it should be possible to approve the workitem.
Does anybody have an idea ?
thanks for help.
regards uwe

Hi
You have two options here:
1. Ask your portal team to remove the Approve , Reject buttons from the UWL. It is possible via UWL Configurations in Portal
2. Implement Check BADI for Invoices and make sure Approver puts a comment in the Invoice while approving or rejecting. In this caase system will not approve the invoice(there will be an error ) if the approver tries to approve the invoice from UWL. But in this case Approver will not be able to see the error details in UWL....UWL will give ageneric message that document could not be approved or exception kind of message

ERP plant number for SRM business partner

Hello,
how is it possible to replicate plants from ERP to SRM by using an external number range?
Example: Plant 0100 in ERP should be Business Partner 0100 in SRM
We have the issue that the replicated plants get new IDs from the internal business partner number range.
In Customizing we defined a corresponding number range set to external. A new grouping is set up linked to the number range object.
Thanks for help
Regards Trevor

Hi everybody,
I closed this thread. In SAP SRM 7.0 there is no possibility to take over the plant numbers from ERP as Business Partner numbers. This would be an approvement for future EHPs of SRM.
We solved our issue by showing also the ERP Plant number in the Shopping Cart from Table BBP_LOCMAP. But this is an enhancement.

Com.sap.pct.srm.core configuration missing in Portal for SRM

Hi,
We have installed a new portal 7.0 ehp1.
Installed the SRM business package.
configured all the roles.
Configured UWL
But in Universal workflow configuration content , com.sap.pct.srm.core is missing.
In our development system , it was already present. Not sure why in the new system it is missing.
Can we download from the development system and upload it in the new system.
Thanks,
Tanuj

That should have been installed when you install the corresponding BP for SRM.
To answer your question - yes you can download it from your DEV system and upload it into your QA system.
Thanks,
Shanti
