Hi,
I would need if I were designing my workflow approvals to be based on a custom table
You want to maintain approver in the Custom Table and pick it at the runtime right.
You can pick via Expression or Rule,... it depends on your requirement.
For rule see this [link|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/d053fe48-6513-2b10-a59f-871923ff99d8].

Custom Workflow Approval Table

What are some of critical fields that I would need if I were designing my workflow approvals to be based on a custom table? I have a fairly limited understanding of the major data components that are being used for workflow so any input from the experts would be appreciated.

Customizing Workflow approval process

Hi,
I have a requirement to customize the 'Change Pay' workflow process in item_type 'HRSSA' to route it through custom approvers derived through PL/SQL code. Please let me know as to where to start from and where do I place my custom function whcih derives the approvers in the workflow process.
If I remove the process name from the AME condition, it doesn't go for any approval as I can see in the Status diagram. The 'IsFinalApprover' node in 'Notification Process for Approvers and Notifiers' returns Y and the process ends.
Thanks,
R

Thanks for the reply.
But the requirement is quite complex to be achieved through AME. For ex: the approval notification should timeout conditionally based on the recipient of the notification which cannot be achieved through AME.

Issue in a custom workflow with Approval Type Notification. Urgent

Hi
I have created a custom workflow which contains an approval notification.
If the user approves/rejects the notification I need to update a table column as Approved or Rejected.
I have created a function activity,say X, which calls a PL/SQL procedure.
The issue is,
when the user approves or rejects the notification, the function X errors out even without entering the PL/SQL procedure.
Following is the error message
An Error occurred in the following Workflow.
Item Type = XXYH_UMX
Item Key = 55
User Key =USERKEY:55
Error Name = -6502
Error Message = ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small
Error Stack =
Wf_Engine_Util.Function_Call(XXYH_UMX_WF_PKG.is_resp_assigned, XXYH_UMX, 55, 242407, RUN)
Activity ID = 242407
Activity Label = XXYH_UMX_ASSIGN_RESPONSIBILITY:XXYH_UMX_RESP_ASSIGNED
Result Code = #EXCEPTION
Notification ID =
Assigned User =
If I go the function from any other function,say Y, (bypassing approval notification) it works fine.
Can you please help me what could be the issue?
Thanks,
Kamath.

The danger in putting in one activity is that if there is any scope longer-term to expand the process to multiple activities, then it may be better to break it out into a sub-process early in the design phase.
Generally, you get the feeling from the client fairly early on about whether they have a final design and how likely they are to complicate the process later on :)
I wouldn't include it as a post notification function myself - it saves a tiny amount of processing time and database space, but at the cost of making it less clear what is happening. Plus you'd need to check the result in the PNF manually - putting it on a conditional branch ensures that you always know what the value is. If the lookup type changes at any stage, you would need to check a PNF to ensure that the code still remains valid; if it's on a branch then the only thing to change would be to change the label on the branch.

Custom report for Workflow approval status

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.

Custom workflow for Fiori Approve Timesheets

Hello All,
I am investigating complexity of adding custom workflow to Approve Timesheets.
There is BADI SRA010_BADI_TIMESHEET_APV.
Any experiences/advices ?

Hi Lukasz,
How do you change approver using data from Ztable in the current system?
If you are talking about workflow approver determination logic, it is a job for Workflow Engine and not for Fiori.

How to approve or release a Custom workflow release strategy using a prog.

Hi There,
I am working with a custom transaction with release strategy using custom workflow. I am done with the module pool and workflow templates. And also I can able to start workflow using the FM SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT.
My actual Issue is I have set of buttons in the module pool screen with names Approve (1 to 5) and Reject (1 to 5). When I press the "Approve 1" release strategy of the first person need to approved. Is there any Function Module or Classes for approving the workflow release strategy using buttons in screen.
Thanks in advance,
Viruman

Hi
Make use of the function module SAP_WAPI_DECISION_COMPLETE. To this function moduel pass the workitem ID and pass decision parameter value as 0001 for approve and 0002 for rejection action. You can check in this forum with this function module you will find lot of threads.
If its not a decision step then you can make use of SAP_WAPI_EXECUTE_WORKITEM or SAP_WAPI_WORKITEM_COMPLETE.
Regards

N Level approval custom workflow

Hi, I have a requirement to implement N-Level approval custom workflow.
I am aware that there is standard SRM N-Level approval but I need a customized one.
Could you please provide any documentation/inputs on this.
Regards,
Prasad

Hello,
Documentation on how to implement an N-level approval workflow? That's very generic; just what are you expecting?
What have you tried?
Make a workflow with a loop that checks if any further approval is needed.

Fiori Approve Travel Enpense Custom Workflow

Dear experts,
Regarding Fiori wave 1 application: Approve Travel Expenses, customer is using a custom workflow.
The SAP standard workflow step for this app is a task decision type step.
But the custom workflow step is an activity type step.
Can we also map the workflow step outcome with user decision?(I think by implementing BADI)
Is there any affect on the Fiori app implementation?
Masayuki Sekihara
Thanks and regards,
Chloe

Hi Masayuki Sekihara and experts,
I'm facing a similar scenario with PO approval.
The client uses Portal UWL to read their inbox and wants to replace SAPGUI PO approval UI with Fiori PO approval UI.
What would I have to change in the workflows' task in order to make it fit for Fiori?
I'm trying to put all pieces together but I can't make it work.
I changed the WF and task (replace the task that calls BOR BUS2012 by a dummy task type activity that calls a redefinition of BOR, ZBUS2012, with an extra dummy method and events for Approve and Reject actions.
Implemented Badi for enh.spot /IWWRK/ES_WF_WI_BEFORE_UP_IB method before_update to send data back from fiori to backend WF.
I assume I have to change some config for Fiori PO approval app to map it to my new task and do the same in Portal 7.4 for UWL configuration?
But, where or how do you set the text that will be displayed in UWL for this Fiori task?
I'm executing the custom WF in the backend and get stuck trying to determine the agent (it comes empty). In the step in Control tab under Agents section I'm using a custom rule that calls a FM that pastes a custom value in EKKO then in the task in tab Default Rules I'm calling the standard rule 'Agent (default Rule)' = 20000027 biding PurchaseOrder and ReleaseCode.
And I don't get to see the workitem in the approver's inbox (SBWP tcode) after creating the PO either. As far as I know this is something that should always occur (seeing the workitem in the approver's inbox regardless of what we use in the end: UWL and/or Fiori).
Any pointers?
Thanks,
Laura

Custom Workflow using Oracle Workflow in ContentDB

Hi,
Could we use custom workflow which is made using Oracle Workflow instead of BPEL.
Regards,
Yulisar

Having registered custom workflows for Content DB via Enterprise Manager, potentially you can use any tool capable of dequeuing/enqueing messages from the IFS_BPEL_OUT/IFS_BPEL_IN advanced queues as part of a custom workflow process.
By default, we assume you are using Oracle BPEL PM with its Advanced Queue adapater to process the queue messages. However, there is nothing stopping using Oracle Workflow or any tool for that matter.
HOWEVER!!! Warning!!! There is a high probability that Content DB will drop the bundled Oracle Worflow installation in the near future. What this means, is that you should consider installing/configure/patching your own separate Oracle Workflow installation and not rely on the bundled Content DB solution which is used internally for Serial and Parallel Approval workflows.
thanks,
Matt.

Can nested IIf be created in custom workflow (in Designer)?

I need to explore building a custom workflow in Designer that will allow me to update a hidden field in the list. Is it possible for me to recreate the nested IIf statement I have written below? I'm not seeing how to do get an AND operator in
the workflow designer, nor the nested concept.
TypeOfChange: IIf([status]="active",
IIf([program type]="p", "Primaries Approved",
IIf([program type]="o", "Options Approved",
IIf([program type]="R" Or [award]="AAS-T", "AAS-T Programs Registered",
IIf([apprentice]="a", "Apprenticeships Registered",
IIf([contract]="c", "Contracts Approved",
IIf([College Report Categories]![title]="collaborations", "Collaborations Registered",
IIf([Indiv Program Students] is Not Null, “Individualized Programs”,
IIf([program type]="st","ST Programs Registered")))))))),
IIf([status]="Title changed", "Titles Changed",
IIf([status]="removed",
IIf([program type]="p", "Primaries Deleted",
IIf([program type]="o", "Options Deleted",
IIf([program type]="st", "ST Deleted"))),
IIf([status]="Inactive",
IIf([program type]="p", "Inactive Primaries",
IIf([program type]="o", "Inactive Options")),
IIf([status]="Reinstated", "Reinstated Programs",
IIf([status]="Pending", "Pending Requests",
IIf([status]="NoI Review", "NoI Review Period",
IIf([status]="Modified", "Curriculum Modifications",""))))))))
There are no mistakes; every result tells you something of value about what you are trying to accomplish.

Hi run4it,
When add multiple compare conditions in workflow condition, it will show the operator AND, then you can try disigning the logic of if else branch sentenses as Andy suggested.
