Dynamic name for attachment in User Decision

Hi...
I have a requirement wherein the name of the attachment in the user decision has to be populated dynamically. I am using the same BO method for user decision but is triggering 2 different objects. Please advice on how to achieve this.
Scenario - I am using BUS2081 for Invoice and for Credit Memo. If the credit memo is created, the approver has to see the name of the attachment as Credit Memo xxxx and if an invoice is created, he has to see the attachment as Invoice xxxx. As standard, whatever object is created, the attachment name is Incoming Invoice xxxx (name of the BO Object Bus2081).
Warm Regards,
Jubish Jacob

The object name is static but the default attribute can be changed (use a z-subobject and delegate back) so you can do something like this: instead of: incoming invoice(object name) 12345(invoice number - default attribute) you will have document(new object name) incoming invoice/credit memo 12345(document type & number concatenated - a new default attribute)
Another option - I think credit memos have an object (BUS2094) or you can create one - in the task have both object types in the container, when its a credit memo transfer only the credit object when it's an invoice transfer only the invoice object.

Adobe form as attachment to user decision step

Hi,
i need to add adobe form as attachement to user decision step in workflow.
1. i created activity step which call business object method with parameters workitem id
     i am using FM SAP_WAPI_ATTACHMENT_ADD’ which will return attribute id
     i am passing that attribute with document id to 'ZSOFM'
        ZSOFM <-----------------------------------ZSOFM (Method to task)
      Bindings 'Attach_objects' <------------- ZSOFM(Task to Workflow).
2. i created user decision step
    Bindings 'Attach_objects' --------------------> 'Attach_Objects'( Workflow to user decision task).
but when we execute first activity step in background i am not getting any PDF output .but when we execute same method from class i can see pdf data is coming is it due to user name WF-Batch.
when i execute activity step in back ground which will have sy-uname as WF-Batch i am not getting any PDF output data.
please help how to solve .
Thanks,
Phani

In transaction SWO1 create a z-object lets say zmyobjpdf (you might want to use it as a sub object of your standard object without delegation since they will probably have the same key).
create a method in that object calling the adobe form.
set it as the default method in the object header.
now create an instance of the zmyobjpdf in the workflow for example as an attribute of the original object) and transfer it to the decision task.
It will be displayed as an attached object pressing it will call the default method - your adobe form.
If your question was about how to create a function module to display the form see SAP Library - PDF-Based Forms

How To Send Invoice List as attachment in User Decision Step?

HI All,
I have developed a workflow in which there is one ZMETHOD in which i will get the list of invoices.and that i want to send it as attachment to User Decision Step.
How to do this?

If your users will have access to MIR4, why not just bind the business object BUS2081 as an adhoc object into your decision step? That would solve everything pretty nicely, I think.

Dynamic Name for Yellow Interface Table

Hi All,
Can anybody guide me how to use dynamic name for Yellow Interface Target Table.
Eg: T_SESSIONID.
I tried
1)Refreshing the SESSIONID in a Variable V1 and using T_#V1 directly
2) Refreshing the T_#V1 in a Variable V2 and using #V2
But its not creating properly.
Please guide.

You want to create dynamic target table name right?
You can refresh a variable like #GET_SESSION
#GET_SESSION= SELECT <%=odiRef.getSession("SESS_NAME")%> FROM DUAL
My tmp table name like TMP_#GET_SESSION
then in your package refresh #GET_SESSION variable and you can use it.
I hope this can be helpful
Thanks

Sending Mail with attachment like User Decision

Hi,
Is there any way to send the document attached with the send mail step ? In User Decision, we can use binding between the workflow and task and document is attached. Like wise, is there any method ??
I know we can send the attachment using the FM SO_****. So don give that answers. I want to know without using the FM, is it possible or not ?
And i don want to use BO SOFM.
For example, in Project Definition, one person creates a milestone. WF is triggered and goes for attachment of concorrence note. One attaches the concorrence note and mail is send to initiator. In that mail, can he able to see the attachment ??

As far as I know the answer is "probably". You aren't saying how the mail is sent to initiator, you just say you don't want to use the FM or the BOR object type SOFM. I assume you are using the standard sendmail step type, i.e. BOR object type SELFITEM with method SendTaskDescription.
As I am sure you can imagine, an attachment doesn't magically appear. If you send a workflow step (task) to someone, you can bind attachments to make them available in work item display. If you send a message you can construct it with attachments, but that doesn't happen without any effort. If you look at the parameters for SendTaskDescription you will see that there is a parameter for attachments. Try passing (binding) a value to it. If your SendMail task doesn't include that parameter as importing parameter you will of course have to fix your task (TS object) first.

Dynamic config for attachment without any message mapping in mail adapter

Hi,
In our scenario, we are not using any message mapping as a specification.A fixed length file is sent from source via proxy as an attachment to the mail.
here the issue is with the file name of the attachment. how do we configure the attachment file name dynamically with out using any message maping.
Regards,
Divya

Hi Divya,
I understand you want to set name for mail attachment.
SAP Note: Mail Adapter sapnote_0000856599
Q: Can I choose the name of an attachment in the mail?
A: Yes. Most mail clients use some heuristics based on some *MIME headers to derive the name of an attachment.* The MIME headers involved in most heuristics are Content-Type, Content-Description,and Content-Disposition. When you create an XI message, the XI payload name is automatically set in the Content-Description. If you want to change or set all of these headers, you can use the MessageTransformBean module (Note 793922) [Link|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi711/helpdata/en/57/0b2c4142aef623e10000000a155106/frameset.htm]
in the adapter framework.
Q: How can I set the file name of a mail attachment?
There are several MIME headers that play a role in how the client retrieves the file name of an attachment. Unfortunately, this behavior differs among various mail clients. The reason for this inconsistent behavior comes from the fact that this mechanism has been extended incrementally. The old way is to use the name parameter in the Content-Type header as specified in RFC1341. For example, you can set the content type of an XML attachment as:
Content-Type: application/xml; name="abc.xml"
RFC1521 discourages the use of this name parameter in anticipation of the new header Content-Disposition, which is defined in RFC1806.
With this Content-Disposition header, you can set the file name as:
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="abc.xml"
Some clients may show the Content-Description value as the file name. The Content-Description header is typically used to associate some descriptive information to an attachment (RFC1341) as in
Content-Description: my xml file
To avoid potential interpretation problems, it is recommended to combine the use of these headers.

Custom dynamic names for outbound payment files in R12

I have asked this on a couple of forums, but somehow missed this one.
We are upgrading from 11i to R12 and require custom dynamic file names for the Payments output files (cheques, advices, efts). I see that you can create a custom prefix and extension through payment profiles, but the functionality is very limited (i.e. no date stamp). I am thinking that others must have come across this before, and am wondering how you have handled such a requirement. Is it possible to add custom steps to the seeded payment process? Can the payment process be run as part of a request set and then a custom step added which grabs the output file and renames it based on information obtained from the batch and the process profile. Our goal is a fully automated payment process where batches are scheduled, processed and files renamed and sent out to banks and a 3rd party printer with no user interventation.
Any advice/tips would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Tam.

Hi Tam,
Could you please let me know if you got the solution as we have a similar requirement of renaming the output file as perthe business needs fro which we need custom program.
Thanks,
Manas

Creating attachment in User decision activity.

I am running a background ABAP report and the output of report is to be attached to the WI for user. The user will receive the decision step with attachment which includes report output as excel.
please suggest how can I achieve it. How can I attach report output to WF that will be going for user approval.

Hi Verma,
To show Output in Excel Format use document form Template step type and immediately followed by User decision so that when the user executes he will first see the excel sheet then he can take a decision on it.
If u want a display on the same user decision step type then make that method as default methos and bind it to the USER Decision container.

Attachment in user-decision

Hi everybody,
I have a user-decision in which i want to show an attachment (in this case a list of changes) in order to give the user a document/list to make a clear decision.
So I don't want the user to create an attachment but the attachment has to be automatically created by the workflow.
It's likely to be a very simple question for you guys but I'm quite new in WFM. Any help is welcome.
Regards,
Bert

Hi Bert,
If you have already created the attachment (Object Type = SOFM) through a Task method, then just bind that directly to AttachObjects. This will then appear as a link under the 'Objects & Attachments' column of your Decision Step Work Item.
If you haven't created the attachment, then you will need to create a task with a method to generate this list and then bind that out to the WF container. Next, just bind that WF container into the decision step task container (ie AttachObjects) and this will appear as a link under the 'Objects & Attachments' column of your Decision Step Work Item.
Hope that helps.
