Error in Action when CRM Order is updated as Error from R/3 update

Question

Hi,
Currently we are in CRM 6.0 SP04 and R/3 4.7 SP14
Process:
1) B2B user places order through ISA
2) Order gets replicated R/3 from CRM through middleware (Scenario A setting)
3) If there are any changes in order on either side, changes gets replicated.
Requirement:
We have a requirement from business to trigger workflow in CRM if order is in error. Following are the possible scenarios
1) Error while saving order in CRM
2) No errors in CRM. However, Order will get error in R/3 because of inconsistent configuration or master data between CRM and R/3. The BDOC will be green while replicating to R/3 and acknowledgement to CRM.
3) BDOC status is in error
Solution approach:
We created an action to trigger event when order status set to "Contains error". The condition for Action trigger are Order have error free flag NE X(BUS 2000115 )  OR Status = I1030 OR status = I1056.
Issues:
1)     Scenario : Order is successfully create in CRM without any error. Order gets replicated to R/3 u2013 BDOC is green. However, the order gets error status in R/3 because of inconsistent configuration or master data. The acknowledgement BDOC updates the error status in CRM. However, Action does not get trigger when the order is updated as Error from R/3.
Pls advise possible solution and also suggest any other way to achieve the required functionality to generate workflow for CRM order updated as Error from R/3.

Hi Anil,
Try this, implement ORDER_SAVE BAdI.  This BAdI is triggered every time an order is saved, you could put in your logic to see if the order has errors, if yes trigger your workflow.
I haven't tested but this should work for your case when the crm order is set to error status after the replication to R/3(the BDOC scenario).
This may not be the most efficient method of doing, but this would definitely work.
Make sure you use proper checks at the beginning  of your order_save BAdI implementation as this badi would get executed on save of every 1-order object.
