Escalation of Workflow items in MSS UWL

SAP will use Workflow to escalate actions in the MSS Universal Worklist to the next level of manager above if the action is outstanding for more than a certain number of days.
What I need to establish is, do we have to have the same number of days for each Workflow i.e. Trip Approval, Leave Request etc
And is this the same other areas of SAP i.e. P2P or Finance?
Thanks

  • GL Workflow items from ECC 6.0 to MSS

    Hi all,
    Here is quite basic question related to MSS portal:
    Could you please advice how the workflow items are transferred from SAP ECC 6.0 to MSS portal?
    I guess it is done via some kind of XML file...but does anybody have any better idea how to find this file or a program responsible for its creation in SAP?
    We need to remove some items from the file to protect them to be shown in MSS portal.
    Any advice would be highly appreciated.
    kind regards,
    Slawomir Ptas

    WF items which are available in SBWP is shown in UWL ie in MSS. Its one to one mapping
    You can use filtering to hide some items in UWL.

    If so How? Please advise.
    Regards

    Hi
    Just to get Clarity.
    KM Notifications appearing in the recent notifications
    small iview, will be incorporated only in stack 11.
    We are currently on EP6 SP9 Patch 1 software un-licensed
    from sdn.
    Hence there is no config to be done because the functionality does not exist at the current level that we are running.

  • Problem in displaying workflow Items in UWL

    Hi all,
    I am facing the following problems in displaying the workflow Items in UWL
    I am able to see the work flow items in SAP inbox but not in UWL.
    The following are my issues and questions
    1. what is the type of system to be created in portal.
    BI JDBC System
    BI ODBO-Compliant OLAP System
    KM Windows System
    Portal Tenant System
    SAP system using connection string
    SAP system using dedicated application server
    SAP system with load balancing
    Web Service System using WSDL URL
    2. what is the configuration need to be done in Universal Worklist & Workflow
    3. Any other configurations need to be done in WAS server and SAP server.
    Please anyone give me the solutions and it is urgent.
    Thanks in advance
    Thanks

    Hi,
    <b>1. What is the type of system to be created in portal ?</b>
    This depends on what type of a system are you trying to connect to. If it's an ECC system or R3 system, you may use SAP system using dedicated application server. Give an alias to it and check the permissions of that system.
    <b>2. What is the configuration need to be done in Universal Worklist & Workflow ?</b>
    You have register this system now. Go to System Administration -> System Configuration -> Universal Worklist Administration -> UWL Configuration -> Chose New -> Enter the Name, System Alias and select WebFlowConnector.
    In the System Administration -> System Configuration -> Universal Worklist Administration -> Registration for all types of Universal Worklist WebFlow, register item types by clicking "Register Item types for all systems". Alternatively, you can also click on "Register items types for new systems".
    <b>3. Any other configurations need to be done in WAS server and SAP server ?</b>
    The portal user should have corresponding user on the ECC or R3 system or whichever backend system you are trying to connect to. This user should be authorized to have RFC access to function group SWK1 and transaction SWK1.
    Please refer to this document which lists out all the steps. Please refer to minimal configuration section. https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/a3461636-0301-0010-3787-978f5ac8bd45

  • Problem in Approving Requisition Request in MSS UWL

    Hi,
    I'm facing problem in approving requisition request sent through Manager in MSS UWL.
    We have configured standard process HR_MSSRCF_REQUISITION with ISR scenario is SRQ3. Workflow is WS45600028
    Case: When I successfully Check & Send Requisition Request form from MSS Recruitment, it is coming in Manager UWL.
    But, when i open the workitem for approval it is not coming as a PDF form with Approve Button in the bottom (Standard). Instead, it opening as per the below screen.
    Please help to resolve this issue.
    Regards

    You should be giving the process reference number or workitem ID in transaction hrasr_test_process.
    Which release you are on , what is the SP level of component EA-HRGXX?
    Further as per note 972322 - HR Administrator: Migration WD4A - the start process application has been migrated to WDA.
    Check the UWL XML configuration to see if the config is as below for the approval task...
    APPLICATION     ASR_PROCESS_EXECUTE(For EhP4, otherwise application depends on the level of EA-HRGXX )
          DYNPARAM     WI_ID=${item.externalId}
          NAMESPACE     sap
          SYSTEM_ALIAS     <use your system alias>
    A sample XML is available with note - 1371626 - UWL Configuration for HR Administrator BP version 1.51.
    This appears to me to be a XML configuration issue. Collaborate with your portal and UWL config consultant.
    Hope this helps.

    Sahir.

  • How to configure portal inbox workflow item?

    Dear All,
    I have a problem with my portal inbox. My workflow item in my development portal inbox is displaying differently from the production environment.
    For example when the MSS user click on leave approval item in his inbox to approve a leave, my development portal is displaying the approval screen in a better view but the production is just displaying the backend sap inbox screen.
    Anyone knows where I can configure this and is there any documentation for it. I suppose this is a UWL configuration right?
    Thanks,
    Regards,
    Bryan

    Hi Brian, that is the backend.. Transactions WFVISU seems to have some changes, what iview to display. This info is received when you register a system in the UWL Admin Console....
    You could download the Config XML from Dev and import it to QA with a different name and higher prio and see if seomthing changes...

  • Delete Workflow items from workflow inbox.

    Hello All,
    We are using workflow in MSS for Compensation Management. As part of this an email will be sent to the managers when a compensation needs an approval. There are some workflow items under workflow inbox ( SBWP ) . How can I delete emails which I don't want to execute. I don't see any delete button. I can see delete buttons for the documents under inbox, but these emails that I want to delete are under workflow in Inbox.
    Thanks a lot for your help and points will be rewarded for any helpful solution.
    Thanks,
    Chakri.

    Thank You Suresh,
    You are refering to the emails in the inbox ( SBWP ) where I can delete my emails with the help of a delete button. But I am referring to the workflow items that are present under INBOX -> WORKFLOW. There is no delete button on these workflow items. If we execute these workflow items then they will be deleted automatically. I am looking for a solution by which I can delete (clean up) all the workflow items that are not executed from last year so that we can be ready for our compensation for this year.
    Thanks,
    Chakri.

  • Regarding workflow items

    Hi,
    Can any one suggest the solution to get the workflow items in the portal UWL.
    I had configured the UWL and I am able to get the mails of the documents in the inbox of SAP. But I am not able to get the workflow items. Even I had maintained the task in SWFVISU.
    Regards,
    Narendra

    Hi,
    The UWL has to be configured in the portal side also.Please refer the below link for the same.

  • SWO1 approval in background does not clear manager workflow item

    Hi,
    I am trying to approve the shopping cart from a managers UWL in background through SWO1.
    But when I do the shopping cart is getting approved whereas the approval item is still pending with the manager of the shopping cart.
    How to  delete the workitem from the manager inbox once I push the shopping cart for approved status in SWO1 ?
    Regards
    harish

    Hi,
    Awaiting approval is document status. You can find workflow status and workflow item number in BBP_PD.
    Please check workflow item detail in SWI1 transaction.
    I think debug the setReleased method is good way for finding the root cause. It might change only document status and does not change workitem side.
    If the SWO1 method does not fit your requirement, please check the class /SAPSRM/CL_OFFLINEAPP_INBOUND.
    (b) Check whether workitem is still in status 'READY'
    (d) Check procurement document
    (e) Lock procurement document
    (f) Append approval note as a long text of type NOTM to the
        procurement document => Update document
    (g) Execute the workitem
    (h) Unlock the document
    Export the processing results and errors out of the method

  • Substitution rules for GP workflow Items

    Hello Experts,
    We have configured GP workflow to display GP workflow Items. It is working fine.
    Now the requirement from client is, they want a substitution rules functionality for the GP workflow Items.
    If somebody goes on leave or sick, workflow Items which are already assigned to that persion, should be moved to another persion so that he/she can work on that.
    I have tried using Substitution rules available in UWL. but it seems this option is only available for AdHocSystem connector only and not to GPConnector.
    Can somebody let us know, how we can use this functionality for GP as well?
    Thanks,

    Is there any way to reduce the time taken to refresh? Is it suggestible?

  • How to get the objects from a workflow item's container

    Dear all,<P/>
    We need to get the value of a variable in the container of a workflow item. I can get the workflow item list using function module <B>SAP_WAPI_CREATE_WORKLIST</B>. Then how can I get the corresponding container elements' value?<P/>

    Hi,
    Well, I think you will be getting the value as BORNAME:BORKEY. Get the KEYVALUE into your local variable. And use the <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/c5/e4acef453d11d189430000e829fbbd/frameset.htm">BOR Macros</a> to get the instance and desired contents.

  • GRC AC v10 SPM WF - Workflow Item not showing up in WF Inbox

    GRC AC v10 - SP12
    The outlook email notification for the Workflow Item goes out, but there is nothing in the NWBC Inbox for the WF Item. Subsitution is setup correctly.
    Any ideas?
    -john

    Hi John
    this is probably be a silly question but what substitution did you set up for ZFF_CTL_01? I assume the item is in that user's inbox. Which user is meant to be receiving?
    I also noticed this KB article (1589130) which mentions the delegated person needs GRAC_REQ authorisation. Have you checked if security access issue?
    There was also mention that the delegated approver does not appear in the MSMP instance runtime (your screen shot suggests same situation unless you have not set up the delegation). SP14 delivers the fix or refer to  1915928 - UAM: Delegated Approver is not visible in the Instance status
    Possibly have a look at both of them to see if they resolve your issue.
    Regards
