Error in SAP standard workflow ddoStart - Start document distribution

Hi all,
I'm trying to use the document distribution but i'm failing completely. After doing what i think is the necessary config (setting all relevant tasks to general task should be all), i try to distribute. I create a list, selects people and click go.
When checking the log for the distribution later on, all workflows generated hang in the same place - namely the case branch before "check document distribution". Further on, the "check distribution order" task does have three potential outcomes after calling the business objects corresponding method. The problem is that the method "check" of bus1082 (doc. dist. order) does not return a check value as a parameter, even though it has a result internally.
I suspec i'm missing something here, but the wf still bombs out.
Tips and tricks guys?
Espen

HI all,
Problem is identified and a solution is found. THe businesss object's methods for distribution order did not have the flag for result parameter ticked. Opening up the standard SAP objects, tick the box and voila - it works.
Still puzzles me how SAP did release this. Didnt they test?

SAP Patch :'Error reading the standard sequence from the document tables

Hi Experts,
Please help!
Recently SAP patching is carried out in our R/3 environments. Before patching, all our customized RFCs were working correctly.
We are using BAPI ''BAPI_ALM_ORDER_GET_DETAIL' in a RFC. After the patching, the version date of the BAPI ''BAPI_ALM_ORDER_GET_DETAIL' is changed to new date of patching.
Now, when we are calling the customized RFC, ''BAPI_ALM_ORDER_GET_DETAIL' is returning an error 'Error reading the standard sequence from the document tables'.
This comes when we are pasiing any order with Order type 'ZM02' ( Maintenance Order - Preventative). It is working absolutely fine with Order Type ZM01(Maintenance Order - In Hours Opex).
Sometime, when RFC is run individually, it works fine with same data and sometime it is throwing this error with the same data. Very Inconsistent.
Please advice whether patching is the reason.
Any advice..is welcomed.
Many Thanks,
Rohit

We found that the flow of the code(RFC) was making a situation where even correct order id was passed to this BAPI, the result was an error 'Error reading the standard sequence from the document tables'. we reverted the RFC to it's earlier version. now that problem is not there.

SAP Standard Workflow for REFUNDS in FS-CD

Hi
We have a requirement to implement SAP Workflow in Financial Services Collections & Disbursements (FS-CD) module for REFUNDS Approval.
Is there any SAP standard Workflow available to meet the requirement?
How to find the Standard SAP workflows available for different Modules (MM, SD, PM, FI, FS-CD etc)?
Correct answers will be rewarded with points.
Thanks
Nikhil.B

Just to add:
The error that I am encountering in the second run/cycle for the PR approval workflow is Import container contains errors (are any obligatory elements missing?)
Basically, WS20000077 will be executed if an approval level is seen. Once the approval is made, then the workflow is also completed. However, for multiple approvers, I only get to execute successfully the first level approval. The succeeding levels are encountering errors as stated above

About modifying sap standard workflow

hi, i would like to modify a sap standard workflow. In the real project, how do you modify it. Copy this workflow and create a custom one , or generate a new version and then modify it?

jrockman li wrote:
> Hi Martin Nooteboom, thanks for your reply. i still have one question, if we create new copy of sap standard workflow. Then, the event will trigger both workflows. So, should we deactivate the standard workflow? and ,in this case , what should we pay attention to when transporting workflows and linkages.
No you don't deactivate the workflow, but the event linkage. This should result only starting your workflow when the event is raised, also after transport. You can check the eventlinkage after the transports.

SAP Standard Workflow for PR Release (with user exit)

Hi SAP WF Gurus,
Good day!
I just wanted to check with you if you have ever used a user exit in the activation of the standard workflow for PR (overall ( release. What we have is a two0step approval process wherein each level has a proxy/alternate approver. We used the available user exit to accommodate this customer requirement since the standard release would only allow us to define 1 approver as a prerequisite for the next level. We were able to execute this on the first level approval; however, we observed that the workflow is not anymore triggered (i.e. does not send work items to agents) for the level 2 release. My questions therefore are:
1. How to set up SWEC? I already executed SWELS and SWEL to check if the events are being created and event linkage is automatically deactivated after running into an error regarding the binding...My initial SWEC setup is for BANF BUS2105 RELEASED On Change. I am assuming that since the workflow was released from the first level, this should be the starting point
2. How to rectify the binding error? I already executed automatic binding in the WF header for the start events but still face it
Your inputs/comments are most welcome
Regards,
DeLo

Error in PR standard workflow WS20000077

Hi Friends ,
I have activated the standard workflow WS20000077 which is for PR release procedures . When i am creating a PR it is triggering the workflow with an error " Import container contains errors (are any obligatory elements missing?) " .
I have checked the forum for the same error but i did not find ant exact solution for that .
In SWEL , the object key is being populated by the PR no . So i think this is the problem due to the Release code which is not getting any value in the event container after the event " Releasestep craeted" gets triggered .
So please guide me on the same how to resolve the above error .
I am using ECC 6 version of SAP .
Thanks in advance
Sarmistha

Thanks again for your reply .
I have tested the workflow in SWUE by assigning the Release code value manually and the workflow is triggering without any error .
So as you told i think some SAP Notes needs to be implemented to resolve this issue .
If you have any idea on this please guide .
Thanks
Sarmistha

SAP standard workflow

Dear Experts,
Is there any standard workflows for Customer Invoice, Goods Recipients and Asset Management(ex: Asset In, Transfer, etc.)
And how can I find the informations online?
Thanks in advance!

Unless you already know about it: SWDM is a nice tool to search for workflow templates and single tasks, whether they are documented by SAP or not. There are several possibilities for sepcifying search criteria, the one I have found most useful is application component. Note that if you don't find anything for the specific application component, you should go one level up and try again - until you get to the top level if necessary. Some workflow templates are used for several purposes and thus placed higher in the application component hierarchy.

Automatically start Document Distribution

Hello all,
i have a requirement to start the SAP standard document distribution automatically for a specific document if the status of this document is set to a release status.
I stll have implemented the Note 824949 and therefore have activated the event type linkage for the following BUS objects:
BUS1082 INITIATED
BUS1082 RESEND
DRAW     CHANGED   DOKST
DRAW     CHANGED   DWNAM
DRAW     CHANGED   DISTRIBUTION
The manual distribution for documents is still working fine but (the distribution log and the SBWP say it)
But I don't get any log entry and not SBWP mails if a document of a distribution list is set to a release status!!!!!!!! So the automatic process is not working until now.
Do you have some more hints?
Thanks,
Christian

I would use a workflow, at the point when a document is released you create an event. Based on this you can send the information. This is potentially not the easiest way but allows you to do function as you need it.

Thomas

No SAP Standard workflow Tasks in the system

Hi All
Currently in our SAP System ( ECC6.0) , there is no standard SAP tasks nor templates are available in any of the clients . How to bring the standard tasks and templates in the system . Is it that we have to import from Client 000? If so , how to do that ?
Appreciate your help in this . Please pass any document or material on this .
Thanks in advance .

How do you know you do not have Template and Task. Probably you have checked with Tcode PFTC.
I think you do not have authorization. After you get no task is in PFTC do a SU53 and ask your security team to provide the authorization.
Thanks

Document Distribution for External Mails ids

Dear Expert Consultants,
I would like to know how to send Docuemnts as link from Document Distribution to external Mails. Also i want to know Mass printing functionality in DMS Documents.
Regards,
Deviprasad.P

Hi,
In the standard case you need to folow below procedure
1. Use TC SOCP to create external recipients. you may need BASIS help in this.
2. Create recipient list using TC CVI1.
2. Assign the documents to be distributed to this list. Document should be created before this step.
3. Assign External recipients to this list.
4. Distribute the document using CVI8.
5. TC CVI9 will help you to know the status of distribution.
Most important factor is that your SAP standard workflow which drives the distribution to external mail ids should be working. Please contact BASIS team if it has any problem. Without this distribution is not possible.
Hope it will help you.

Atul
