Hello Experts,
I have created a DMS workdlow following the SAP DMS book however it is not working.

My configuration:
- Object Type: DRAW
- Container: Added object Document
- General Task assigned to creater
Can anybody help?
Thanks

    Hi,
    It looks workflow template is missing.
    Please check the note 962488 "Workflow definition '&' not in version '&'".
    1. Run the function module SWD_WFD_REPLICATE_FROM_9999 and copy it.
    2. Re-activate the WF definitions in the transaction SWDD
    3. Check Consistency in the transaction SWUD
    Also check the sub workflow.

  • Problem with custom sharepoint designer approval workflow - check box: 'Start this workflow to approve publishing a major version of an item' is greyed out

    I wanted to create a simple approval workflow. Hence I opted to start from scratch rather than copy the OOTB approval WF. Using SharePoint Designer (not Visual studio) I created a reusable workflow and have added the built in 'Start approval process' action.
    It's saved and published globally.
    Everything works fine except that when associating the WF with a list the 'Start this workflow to approve publishing a major version of an item' check box is disabled.
    Major and minor versioning is enabled for the library.
    What am I missing here? Or do I have to start from the OOTB approval WF to get this to work?
    Regards
    Henning

    Again - new ideas pop up right after defining the issue as a problem. :-) Problem solved!
    I solved this by creating a new workflow from the original publishing approval workflow (copy and replace), but instead of tweaking the already defined approval process (WF action) I deleted it, then deleted all initiation form and local variables,
    and then added the 'Start approval process' action again. This re-installs all the necessary local variables without any initiation form involvement, which is just what I want.
    From here I can tweak the workflow to make it more user friendly, much like
    described by Bobby Chiang in his great blog.
    Remember to add action Set Workflow Variable 'EnableContentApproval' to Yes right before the Start Approval Process action, else the document's status won't be set to 'Approved' or 'Rejected' as an output of the workflow.
    Learning every day!

  • Problem secondary invoice approval workflow

    Hi
    i have problem when i run the secondary invoice appoval concurrent program
    i am not getting any notification

    If all the lines of an invoice are approved then the secondary approval hold on the invoice is released by the workflow..
    So this is the processs..
    Minimum requirement for the workflow to run is
    Any Invoice with a secondary approval hold on it…….

  • Problems with Auto approval workflow (WS 10000060) for shopping carts

    Hi SAP Network community,
    I have got a problem with the auto approval workflow for shopping carts.
    Basically the workflow approves the shopping cart once it was created.
    But then the related Purchase Order remains in Status held. If the PO gets ordered manually then it is not transferred to the R/3 backend system.
    For testing purposes also the one step approval workflow was activated. If the shopping cart gets approved by clicking into the detail approval screen (not by approving through the green tick box in the shopping cart overview) then the PO gets ordered and transferred to the backend system as normal.
    But if the shopping cart gets approved by using the green tick box in the shopping cart overview then the same problem occurs as described for the auto approval workflow.
    The system version is SRM 4.00
    Did anybody have the same or similar problems with the auto approval workflow and what could be the reason for this problems.
    Thanks in advance,
    Robert

    Hi
    Which SRM Workflow Scenario are you using (IS it Item level workflow or Shopping cart level Workflow) ?
    Are you using customized SRM Business workflow or Standard SRM Workflow ?

  • Problems in shopping cart approval workflows

    Hello friends,
    We are using standard shappong cart approval workflows ( WS14000129 and WS14000060). I have configured all the steps mentioned in documents but workflows are not working while creating saving shopping carts.
    I have tried testing above workflows from background and they work properly from there, which means nothing wrong with basic workflow settings. But when I try save a cart from portal, workflow does get triggered but stops at very first step ( i.e. Parralel section between approval) in workflow. Also it does NOT get errored out but just waiting.
    Can anyone please help me in understanding what is wrong and how I can fix it.
    Regards,

  • In search of assistance learning how to modify the mail message from an out of the box SP2010 approval workflow.

    So, I have found the article
    http://punaro.com/2012/01/derek/modifying-a-sharepoint-2010-workflow-email/comment-page-1/ which appears to walk through the process of modifying an out of the box workflow's mail message.
    However, there is a basic problem that I run into before I get started.
    I am logged into the system as a regular user (ie not a farm admin, etc.).
    I do, however, have full control on the site on which I am working.
    I create a custom list.
    I create a simple one step approval - sharepoint 2010 out of the box workflow.
    I start SharePoint designer and give it the URL of the list. It opens up and I see the various objects on the left side of the screen.
    I click right on the Workflows object - which is where the article says I will find the ability to copy and modify the workflow.
    All I see is "open", "open in a new tab" and "Pin".
    I selecdt open in a new tab - and I get a blank screen labeled workflows that says "There are no items to show in this view".
    So, I click on Lists and Libraries, then on the name of my custom list.
    When the list displays, the Workflows section of the page has a "Modified Workflow" displayed.
    When I right click on it, no menu is shown. When I click on the modified workflow, I get the workflow settings page for that workflow.
    I am trying to figure out how to create the copy of the workflow so that I can modify one of the mail messages in SharePoint designer.
    Is there someone who has some advice on how to find this copy and modify option?  Or perhaps a web site, web forum, article series, or book covering the topic?
    Thank you! 

    Hi lwvirden,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to modify the OOB approval workflow in SharePoint Designer.
    After opening the site in SharePoint Designer, just click Workflows in the left panel and then the workflows in the site will load in the right part.
    If you want to copy and modify the OOB approval workflow, then you need to right the approval workflow
    Approval – SharePoint 2010 under Globally Reusable Workflow. After that you will see the
    Copy and Modify button.
    Best regards.
    Thanks

    Deena,
    Please make sure the path is correct. also why .zip, why : at the end why blank space? These could be a problem.
    /home/oracle/Oracle/Middleware/Oracle_IDM1/server/client/*oimclient.zip*:/home/oracle/Oracle/*Middleware/ oracle_common*/modules/oracle.jps_11.1.1/jps-manifest.jar:
    Below is correct one.
    $MW_HOME/Oracle_IDM1/server/client/oimclient.jar:$MW_HOME/oracle_common/modules/oracle.jps_11.1.1/jps-manifest.jar
    If you have custom workflow, be sure in task assignment proper outcome approve or reject.

  • Upload of PO Approval Workflow Customization showing errors.

    Hi,
    As per the client requirement, I have customized the PO approval Workflow
    For customization i did take care that only those standard workflow processes are customized which are prescribed by Oracle as customizable.
    For ex: PO Approval Top Process (Protection Level 1000)
    1. All other custom processes are defined and then included in the standard processes.
    2. I have done all this activity at an access level of 100 in Workflow Builder.
    3. For every custom object in workflow i have checked the Preserve Customization checkbox
    4. Though Preserve Customization Checkbox is not checked for PO Approval Top Process.
    5. After Verifying the design in Workflow Builder i tried Uploading the Workflow to the instance but it is giving Errors
    First I tried to upload in FORCE mode
    1. Copying the customized poxwfpoa.wft file to PO_TOP/patch/115/import/US directory
    Command execurted
    $FND_TOP/bin/WFLOAD apps/simple4u 0 Y FORCE poxwfpoa.wft
    After running this it was giving errors like
    Display name conflict for ACTIVITY entitiy 'POAPPRV/APPROVE_AND_FORWARD_PO' with APPROVE_AND_FORWARD_THE_PO:D:Bestellung genehmigen und weiterleiten
    and so on ....like this
    Then i tried it in UPGRADE Mode
    $FND_TOP/bin/WFLOAD apps/simple4u 0 Y UPGRADE poxwfpoa.wft
    after this it was giving errors like
    MESSAGE 'POAPPRV/XML_NOT_SET' is protected, no changes were saved.
    MESSAGE 'WFSTD/WFSTD_DEFAULT_VOTE' is protected, no changes were saved.
    MESSAGE 'POAPPRV/EMAIL_PO_PDF_SUPP' is protected, no changes were saved.

    Though after this i checked, by creating a purchase order, whether the customization have been uploaded or not to my surprise they got uploaded and workflow was working fine
    But my problem is that why is this error is coming and in what all scenarios the workflow can fail because of this?
    Please advice as i m not getting any clue to it !!
    Will request forum members to reply ASAP.

  • 2010 Publishing Approval Workflow not triggered from Office 2010 application

    I have a peculiar situation to which I have been Googling for weeks now but to no avail.
    Basically, I have configured a publishing approval workflow to fire when the user checks in a word document as a Major version. I tested it and all was fine. I later found that on a select few PC's on the office network the prompt (workflow initiation
    form) was not popping up when checking the document in via the office 2010 word client and therefore the workflow wasn't being initiated.
    I have gone down many avenues of group policy, SP permissions, AD settings, even reinstalling office but nowhere nearer to solving the issue.
    Please bear in mind I have it configured correctly from a SharePoint point of view i.e. checked the box to allow workflow to be manually started & start to approve publishing on major version.
    This might be a clue: it works when checking in via SharePoint but not when checking it in via word, therefore indicating a desktop client or office issue. 
    Does anybody have any knowledge of what triggers the initiation form to fire and what might block it or not register its existence from an office app point of view? Any general comments would be welcome.
    Spec of problem machines: - Windows 7 (x32/64), Office 2010 Std, SharePoint 2013 server (but using 2010 workflow in this case).
    Marc Grocott

    Hi Marc,
    Based on your description, my understanding is that when you check in a major version from word, the workflow initiation form not appear.
    In order for Document Approval workflows to work seamlessly with word, you can tick the option: "Allow this workflow to be manually started by an authenticated user with Edit Item Permissions".
    Here is a detailed article for your reference:
    Approval workflow does not start from Microsoft Word

  • In approval workflow, can we have one action in which item can be review and approve/reject

    Hello,
    I have created approval workflow using SPD.
    While sending notification to approver, we need to mention link for viewing : [%TaskProcess:Item Title%][%Variable:InternetLink%] and for approve/reject : [%current task: form_URN%]
    So is it possible to have one link, where reviewer can review document and approve or reject it. he/she should not have to go again to mail and click on another link.
    Thanking you in advance.

  • OOB Approval Workflow Not Working as Expected

    I am using the OOB Approval Workflow with an InfoPath (Browser Based) form that is published to a form library. The form contains multiple options for approvers that route serially.  I open the form, fill it out, and submit it to the library. The
    approval workflow is set to automatically start when an item is created. When the first Item is created the it works correctly. The workflow's task status is "In Progress" and the workflow assigns a task to the person selected in the person/group
    picker on the Infopath form. 
    The issue is when I submit a second form to the library. The workflow automatically sets the the "Outcome" to "Rejected" and never assigns a task to the person selected in the person/group picker on the Infopath form. See below:

    check the ULS logs and share the more details why its auto rejected.
    you can configure the Diagnostic Log as verbose for Workflow.

  • Restrict editing/deleting item when approval workflow is in progress

    I have a list for contributors to submit documents and activate an approval workflow. The requirement is to restrict all users from editing and deleting the document once the workflow is activated. After the workflow is completed, if the document
    is approved, all users also should not be able to edit/delete the item; if the document is rejected, users should regain the permission to edit/delete the item.
    I had no problem with restricting edit/delete permission after the document is approved by adding a Declare Record action after the content approval status is set to approved in SPD.
    However, the workflow was not able to complete when I added a Declare Record action in the "When the Task Process Starts" step and an Undeclare Record action in the very beginning of the "When the task process completes" step to restrict users from editing/deleting
    the item when the workflow is in progress.
    After I activated the workflow and approved the item, the Workflow status shows Approved but the Approval status still shows Pending. In addition, the "Approval Workflow Task is complete" (shown in the following image) is missing in the workflow history,
    which seems to me that the workflow task is never completed.
    Please advise me the proper way to restrict users from editing/deleting the document while the workflow is in progress. Thank you.

    then use SPD to customize the task process to lock them out upon starting and give them rights again upon rejection.

  • Change in Work item Text for Approval Workflow WS14000133

    Hi,
    I need to change the work item text for Shopping Cart Approval Workflow WS14000133.
    I have created an Attribute in Business Object BUS2121 and called the same attribute in work item text.
    In PFTC -> Redefine Work item text - > and i have defined the work item text as well called the attribute from the container.
    what  the problem over here is - when I am passing the attribute in the work item text in the task, I am unable to see the work item text with the Dynamic Attribute but I am able to see the work item alone (not with the Dynamic attribut)
    But when i debug the workflow from SWI1 then i can see the dynamic attribute in the Container of the workflow but nt in the approver's inbox in portal..
    Can you please tell me - that why is this a strange behaviour that i can see the Dynamic attributed created initially in the workflow container of the Business Object but nt in the Approvers inbox either in Backend nor in the front end...
    Thanks,
