Custom versus standard workflows
Hello All,
I would like to know how do we come to know whether a workflow is standard or custom workflow.
I.e I would like to list the list of Standard workflows versus list of custom workflows. (There exists some table like WF_ITEM_TYPES).
Also how can we know list of standard workflows which were customized.
Please let me know.
Kind regards,
Kumar.
Hi,
The easiest way to tell whether an item type has been customized or not would be to use a simple text comparison tool. Download the item type from the database and save it. Then open the original .wft file that ships with the product and compare the two files.
HTH,
Matt

Customizing of campaign standard workflow
Hello Sap guys,
I´m working with marketing campaigns, and I have customized the standard workflow for marketing campaign approvals. The workflow is not working at the moment and I don´t know what the cause is. Here are the steps of customizing that I did, can anyone tell me if there is still something that needs to be done?
1. I went onto Maintain Standard Settings for SAP Business Workflow, and automatically customized the workflow being all the flags in green.
2. I went onto Perform Task Specific Customizing and accessed the component and CRM-MKT-MPL and clicked on Activate event linking and I opened the event WS 10001004 (CRM: Approving Marketing Campaigns) and set the status of the event to ACTIVATED.
3. I assigned agents to the component CRM-MKT-MPL on the screen Task Customizing Overview
4. I set the task and the workflow as General Tasks
When I went to create a campaign I assigned as the responsible person the same person quoted above, and released the campaign.
Those are all the steps done...

MarianaHi Raj
The only way I know of is "Development"...."Extensive Development" :-)
Say, ME23N, check for Screen Exits, then develop Screen code similar to screen 0200 of program SAPLSWI2, with all your add-ons. This would be painful for every type of transactions.
Users will always want to have everything on one screen, moon and stars and the sun, however, that ain't possible
Try convincing for standard reporting, for example:
Frequently workflows in system - SWI2_FREQ
Work items by deadline monitoring - SWI2_DEAD
Work items initiated by ‘Me’ (from SAP Business Workplace – SAP Inbox)
Workflow in which ‘I’ took a decision/ forwarded (from SAP Business Workplace – SAP Inbox)
Workflow for a given type Document - SWI6
Workflow of All documents of a type – SWI14

Customizing a standard/seeded workflow
Hello Friends,
I have a requirement to customize the standard workflow - PO Requisition Approval.
Now , in case if i want to create a new item type , it seems that i have to copy each element (attributes, processes, notifications , messages , lookup etc) into the new item type which is a tedious activity.Any other way out?
Another way is create a new process by copying the main process (which gets called) and customize it under the same 'Item type' but is there any chance of loosing these changes in case of upgrade/patch since we are using the seeded Item type.
What is the recommended/best way to customize the standard workflow.
Plase suggest , thanks !!

AmitPlease see if these docs help.

Replacing the standard workflow with Custom Workflow
Hi Experts..!!
I need one help ..!!!
I want to know how can I replace the standard work flow of Travel Management WS2000050 / WS2000040 with my custom Workflow. Please help me..!!
Thanks & Regards:
Gaurav SinghHi Gaurav
check below link
http://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/display/ERPHCM/Workflow+Customizings+in+Travel+Management
Travel management workflow temapltes you mentioned in your query are teiggered from event CREATED of busines object BUS2089. You just need to define same event as triggerimg event for your cust workflow in basic data setting (hat symbol) in swdd. Also go to standard workflow templates in swdd and check if event linkages are active (in green) if yes then dwactivate it by clicking on option A gree icon or by going in transaction SWETYPV.

Customizing the Standard Vacation Workflow
Hello,
I am working on Oracle E-Business Suite and I'm trying to customize the standard vacation workflow process (self-service employee). The workflow that i made is working fine by itself. However, when I integrate it into the standard workflow, the fields related to the new attributes that i added in the workflow do not show up in the main form.
Concretely, i added two new Attributes: "Alternate from Date" and "Alternate to Date". These Attributes should be filled in by the approver who approves/rejects the demand. If he rejects it, he should enter alternative vacation dates. But the two fields where the approver can enter the value for these attributes do not show up when i run the workflow.
I want to know if there is anything special i should add or if there is something wrong with what I've done.
I would really appreciate your help.
Thank you very much
Regards
Edited by: Soufiane on 30 sept. 2010 08:33No, It's not that they don't show up in the notification, but they don't show up in the main form ( the one in which the requestor enters the wanteddates of the vacation, along with the type and the duration).

How to activate the standard workflow :ws10000051
hello,experts
here is my problem:
I want to activate the standard workflow for document parking :ws10000051 .
I have already activate the event type linkage in SWE2.
And then , i maintian obwa , obwj , obwb, obwc, obwd.obwe,obwf.
In obwa,i choose posting release , subworkflow is ws10000055.
In obwe, Swf amnt rel is ws10000052.
In obwf , the org object is the position cfo (myself), before i assign this ,i create a position in ppoce.
But, when i use f-65 to park a document , i can't receive any workflow in sbwp. I also find "the status of Document Parking (Frame), Parallel is error " in my outbox.
Can anyone tell me the reason ?
Thanks !hi ,hari,
you are right . when i check swel ,i found ws10000051 : evnet put in the queue . more detail message said :The OPEN_DI of BTE 00002214 could not determine any function modules.
when i check the workflow log (view with technical details), the activity :' determine subworkflow for amount release of document etermine subworkflow for amount release of docu ' status error . the message said :error in workflow customizing for document parkig (transaction obwe).
i don't understand this , because i have already maintian obwe. i made a new entry,like this:

ammont to : 9999999
crcy: eur
wsf amnt rel :ws10000052
so ,could you tell me more details about this problem ,

Deadline monitoring & extended email without customizing a new workflow?
Hi,
I have a Position setup in Partner Profile - Post Processing:Permitted agent, to be notify if processing errors occur on the inbound idoc interface.
My questions are:
1. Besides receiving work item in SAP inbox for the idoc fallout, is there any way to send extended notification Outlook email to the users in that position when processing error occured?
2. How can i setup a deadline monitoring for the work item triggered only by these specific idoc message variant? In SWWA, it does not narrow down by workitem, permitted agent,partner profile etc.
3. If #2 can be fulfill, is it possible for me to trigger a new work item to another user/position? An escalation to next level after due date.
I know this can be done through customizing a workflow, but in my situation, i need to search for a solution in a standard existing SAP way without creating any new workflow, program or object.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Regards
Eunice

1# You can send the external notification using Send mail step in the standard workflow it self. I suppose, You can add new steps in Standard Workflow also. Use Send mail step and chose recipient type as "Email Address'. Pass the email Address and it will sent out to MS outlook inbox if all the SCOt Configurations are done.
2# You can activate the deadline monitoring on any activity by
double click on the activity
goto tab Latest End
Select the relevent options
3# For excalation you can set the deadline out come as a "Modeled" outcome. It would provide you an extra wing in your approval task and in that extra wing you can create your own task putting agent as manager's manager.
Hope it helps!

Hi Friends,
For one of my custom workflow the client needs a custom report to know the approval status. This custom workflow will be a multilevel approval and they want to know the status based on the object key(document number) like who has approved it at what time, who else has to approve etc which standard workflow tables can be used for this? Please advice.>

How to trigger FI Standard Workflows
Hi,
I have never worked on FI Standard Workflows . As far as I knpow there is a std WF available WS00400012 with Object type BSEG. For Vendor Down Payment Request, Vendor Payment Request Against Invoice, Vendor Down Payment Posting,Vendor Payment Posting, Vendor Invoice FI, Vendor Invoice Logistics Posting, Vendor Credit Memo, Vendor Debit Memo, Cash Payments, Asset Posting what are the Standard Workflows available and how to trigger these workflows. I have checked with SWELS but WS00400012 is not getting triggered. Is there any SPRO config required for this, POlease help me out with the solution.
THanks
Edited by: Saujanya GN on Sep 16, 2008 8:23 AMHello Munish,
As Venugopal has mentioned, you have to find the relevant BTE for the process and use it to raise an event and in turn trigger the workflow.
The following is the process to find a BTE and implementing it.
(1)Goto transction FIBF .Execute it with Attribute type = 'A' and then menu Environment->Info System (P/S ).
Choose the relevant BTE using the descriptions provided.
(2)Select the BTE you want to implement.
(3)Press button Sample function module
(4)This brings you to SE37 - Copy the sample function module to a Z-function module (First create a new function group for the function module) . Note: The name of the Z-functionmodule is not important
(5)Edit the code in the new function module
(6)Go back to transaction FIBF - Menu Settings->Products -> Of a customer and create a new product whicj identifies the new product . Remember to mark the Active field.
(7)Go back to FIBF menu Settings->P/S function modules->of a customer - Create an entry that links the BTE and Product with the new function module
Hope this will help.

Thanks,
Rashika.Hello rashika ,
To differentiate between standard and custom workflows .
All custom workflows would have first three digits lying betwee 900-999 ( called prefix number range )
The number range 90000000 - 99999999 is reserved for customer developmen t and the range 00000000 - 89999999 is reserved for SAP.
Or to know precisely what exactly is the number range of custom workflows in your system , check through tcode OOW4.

Standard workflow for FB60 vendor invoice
Dear experts,
I am looking for a standard workflow for transaction FB60. Is that WS00400012(BO: BSEG)?
I just wonder if I could check the link between a transaction and business object.
In SWO1, BSEG is noted as "Accounting document line item". So i am not sure if it is for Vendor Invoice.There are several standard workflows for vendor invoices. WS00400012 is for release of payment. If that is what you are looking for, it is fine. But go to the customizing to find more information about both the release for payment solution and the release for posting solution from SAP. Can't recall the customizing path now, but it is in Financial Accounting, I think the path is Accunts Receivable and Payable, then Business Transactions, and there you will at least find the Release for Payment part of it. The customizing screens are partly common, but the help available for the customizing nodes is most likely specific for each solution. I have never set up release for posting, so I don't know it.

Standard Workflow for Logistics invoice blocked for Quality
Hi friends
Edd here
I am wondering if there is a standard workflow for invoice verification if the invoice is blocked for QUALITY (not quantity)
i.e. if the Goods have been receipted Movement Type 103, to blocked stock, this should block the invoice.
Is there a standard workflow to pick up this event (RSEG-SPGRC ('Blocking Reason: Quality' = X)
Thanks and regards
EddThere is no standard workflow for Quality, but you can create your custom wrokflow using similar logic what has been used for the Qty workflow.
