ESS workflow issue

Dear friends
We have different services in ESS like leaves, claims and advances etc in ESS, the requirement is the user while applying for leave loan or claims, he should be able to select the approver to trigger the workflow
Eg. Employee 1 wants to apply for the leave, after entering the data in the fields, the user has to select the approver in the same screen from the dropdown (say employee 10) and send , so that the workflow triggers to employee10
Please suggest whether we can built the system in such a way, if so how
Thank you
Kiran

he can search any approver in the F4 search and assign
PT_ARQ_SEARCH_NEXT_PROCESSOR
Method               SEARCH_NEXT_PROCESSOR
CL_PT_REQ_SEARCH_NEXT_P
       Methods
           SEARCH_NEXT_PROCESSOR
the check is done here
we can change it in the badi
Please check the BADI PT_GEN_REQ for more information

ESS Workflow 10000015 Approve request for changing address thru Portal ESS

Hi Experts,
We want to implement ESS workflow 01000015 u201Cchange (infotype 0006) Address will be blocking until approved/rejected by Administratoru201D. The workflow is trigger OK from R3, user creates a new address and IT0006 is blocking till administrator approve or reject.
What we want now is to trigger this workflow from Portal, but here is the problem:
1.- I do not see any option (button) for creating a new address from Portal iView, what else is missing??? I believe creating new address from Portal could trigger this workflow, but I am not sureu2026
2.- If the first option does not work I would like to trigger this workflow by the event u201CChangeu201D, so I need to edit the address. From R3 is blocking IT0006 OK, but from portal is not blocking the address at allu2026 What else is missing??? I do not know if this could be an issue from R3 or Portalu2026.
We already check u201CNote 495971 - Workflow 01000015 is not triggered when changing addressu201D and workflow is working ok only from R3.
Regardsu2026..

Hi Swamy,
I am a little confused of you requirement. The scenario here is that Person A (Any person using ESS) must not change any of his/her own personal data until Person B Approve/Reject the new Data. For example: if a user A want to change his/her address, personal data etc. must be approve or reject for another person B. This is a validation that most of the companies want to have in order to validate this information. Employees may change their personal data, but how HR area validates if this new information is real or not... One way to verify this new information is a validation for a Person B who will be to approve or reject this information. Now if you do not have this scenario I believe you will not have to do this implementation class because ESS do not have this scenario. The standard ESS functionality is available for change any data without validation and this should be working right now on your Enterprise Portal.
If you want to have a validation for a third User, Person B, you may check these points:
1. Edit 2. New Permanent address
Edit - Will change the record irrespective of dates. This will modify the current record which is valid as of today.
New Permanent address - This will create a new record effective today and previous record will be delimited.
If I use lock functionality in Edit scenario, then in the portal it will dispaly previous record which is not the correct data.
For 2nd case, this will insert the new record, so Lock may work in this case. I will check this.
I believe you will work most of the time with "Edit" button. If Person A edit address, the new register will be created and locked in PA30 Infotype 6 until person B Approve/Reject. How Person B knows if someone has edit his/her address?? You may achieve this using Universal Work List and notification. You may have to create a task for person B with email notification, so person B will be enter into Portal and check his/her new task from the UWL. This task will be ITS UI front end and from here person B decide if approve or reject. If Person B approve, the new register will be unlocked and replace the last one (Also in Portal). If person B reject, the register blocked will be gone and the last one remains.
This should work for any infotype . Check only the type of event generated for any of them in order to trigger the workflow.
Do you have any idea how to achieve this for Personal details where the Lock/Unlock functionality is not available.
Standard ESS works without any lock/unlock functionality. remove the current workflow if you have used any.

Purchase order workflow issue

Hi All,
A PO is created and rejected by a user in user decision step.The workflow will end.If the PO is changed(amount) again,the release strategy is triggered for the same user.But the workflow is not triggering.If the release strategy is for a different user,its triggering the workflow.I have used a fork inside which 1 parallel branch contains a wait for significantly changed event & another branch contains the user decision step,po release step & rejection reason scenario.
Please refer the thread below.
PO Release Strategy Issue

Troubleshooting Approval workflow issues

We are getting this message from time to time and are unsure how to troubleshoot it.
It seems as though something is changing the document, what is the best way to figure out what?
Approval on DOCUMENT NAME has ended because the item that the task process is running on was changed.

Hi Daniel,
1.What message do you get?
2. Look in the Workflow History list, eg "http://sp2013/Lists/Workflow History". Do you find any errors in there?
3. Is the user account starting the workflow correctly synchronized in the user profile database?
4. Is the user account starting the workflow different from the Worflow Manager setup account? (more info at
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj658588.aspx#section7)
5. Are the User Profile Service and App Management Service started? See the green frames in the screenshot below, taken from Central Administration \ Manage Services on Server.
6.Are the App Management Service Application and User Profile Service Application started? Their proxies should be started as well. See the green frames in the screenshot below, taken from
Central Administration \ Manage Services on Server.

ESS workflow customization

One small info required generally about these ESS workflows.
Are the ESS workflow templates different from the standard R/3 workflow given for HR module. Does the transaction data store temporarliy in some tables especially maintained for ESS before getting stored in R/3 standard HR tables.
If we create a event in a BOR object how can we trigger it from any standard transactions, is there any fm we can include in the sourcecode to trigger event so as to invoke workflows dependent on event.
Please do help me.

Workflow issue with interco transactions & general ledger entries in F-02

Hello Experts,
We are encountering a workflow issue when we are entering intercompany transactions with general ledger entries in F-02. Our workflow is set up with two release levels and the details are as follows:
Amount below $2500 - single release level
Amount above $2500 - two release levels
The document type that we are using is SU and it is configured with intercompany postings and trading partner enabled in the control data.
After parking a GL document that has interco amount entries below $2500 and general ledger amount entries above $2500 in F-02, the document is supposed to go to the two release levels in the workflow because the total amount is above $2500 (interco amount + general ledger amount > $2500). However, in the workflow, the document went to the single release level instead of the two release levels.
Any idea why the subledger amount takes precedent over the general ledger amounts in determining the workflow release level?
We would appreciate your help in solving this issue.

You cannot change the design of the system.
SAP may consider the change of design if all the users across the industries are reported. If a single user has a special requirement, it cannot be changed.
You need to ask, whether this is a critical requirement for your business. Otherwise, please follow the standard way.

LR 3 Bug Report - file renaming error - significant workflow issue

System configuration:
MacPro Dual 2x2.66Ghz Dual Core Intel Xeon
9GB RAM
OSX 10.6.4
Lightroom Application on System Drive
Canon .CR2 files and Lightroom Catalog on internal software-based RAID drive
Camera Raw Cache set to 50GB and resident on System drive
Here is the issue:
Once I finish the first round of editing a group of photos, I then rename them with the title of the event and a sequence number. I use LR's batch rename feature in the Library module. If I then delete 1 or more of these photos and attempt to rename them again(same event title + numerical sequence), the new names do not properly apply the numerical sequence after the filename. Either of the following can happen, and whcih one will happen is not dependednt on what I do.
1. The files can be renamed, with the first image having a sequence number 1 number higher than the lowest number I typed into the sequence box in the batch rename dialog (if I type a number 1, the sequence starts at 2). There are also random gaps in the sequence numbering scheme. For example, the numbers will count to 15, then skip to 17, then count to 176, then skip to 178. The rest of the files might be renamed correctly, or there might be gaps. The gaps always skip a single number, and most of the time the numbers skipped are odd numbers, though numbers with a 16 are usually skipped (16, 116, 216)
2. The files can be renamed as mentioned above, but with the addition of a -1 to the end of the sequence (example: filename-200-1 or filename-3-1). The addition of the -1 is also random, though it is more common with lower-numbered files than higher-numbered files.
I have experienced this bug on groups as small as 50 photos or as large as several hundred. I have tried remaning the files to a completely different text/sequence combination and then back to the one I want, and it does not help the issue. The sequence numbering is more likely to have more gaps the more virtual copies are present in the series of photos being renamed.
This is a major workflow issue for me because the files I deliver have to be named sequentially, without gaps, following a specific text/numer naming convention. The bug is currently adding many extra hours to my post-production time. Any assitance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Thanks for the detailed description. I was able to repro this with your steps and have logged a bug for futher investigation.

Workflow issue after upgrade to ECC 6.0

Hi,
we are facing an workflow issue and thought if someone has faced similar issue and could help us.
We've an approval workflow for purchase requisitions through release strategies. For some steps, if the approver is 'WF-BATCH' user, we are executing that step using a program. This program first set the workitem to completed status( this part is working), then it will close the purchase requisition to release status for a particular release code( this part is working) and then we are triggering the 'RELEASE' event for the business object providing the Object key which should take it to the next step( THIS IS NOT WORKING). The business object is custom. This was working perfectly in 4.7 version of SAP but this logic is not working in ECC6.0. we are using SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT to trigger the event. But the workflow doesn't move on to next step.
Have anyone of you have any idea as why this might be happening. Any information on this would be of great help.
This is happening in ECC 6.0. USED TO WORK IN EARLIER VERSION.
Regards,
Sam K

Hi,
Is WF-BATCH having proper auth. ?
Or, if you are using the FM SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT in some program and is scheduled as a batch job, then that user under which this batch job is runnign should have proper auth. to raise the event. Please check those.
Also, what the error (if any) says in SWEL ?

Workflow issue-Agent not maintained

Hi All,
I have a workflow issue. For a PR, the workflow is throwing up the error as :
"Agent not maintained for plant XXXX planner group XXXX release code.
Please maintain an agent for the above key in the Agent AssignmentTable,and forward the workitem with text "Release requisition XYZ" in your Workflow inbox to an appropriate Approver."
Please help me out on this one.
Thanks,

Check 'Agent Assignment' in not green..
Then push the button 'Agent.Assign for TASK' in front of 'Agent Assignment'.
Next, You can go the maintain screen.
Push 'F8' or 'Attributes...' and check 'General Task'.

Content Workflow Issue using Cineform/PPro/AE

Hello, I have a potential workflow issue that I need some advice on. I'm currently editing a project in Premiere Pro CS3 using the Cineform intermediate codec (the video was shot in HDV--Canon HV30--imported using AspectHD). Everything is working fine.
However, I'd like to export some of the video of this project off to a portable hard drive to physically hand over to someone who will be importing it into After Effects CS3 (on a completely different hardware system) to spice things up for me--i.e. they are going to make a flashy intro/title for this project.
Lastly, I would like to re-import her finished video back into Premiere. She does not have the Cineform codec so exporting it as a cineform.avi file is out (I would think--or am I incorrect here?). My question is mainly--what is the best file format to hand over to my AE person AND what is the best file format for my AE person to give back to me to re-import into Premiere and keep it all in HD/HDV 16:9?
I have no idea if this is a really easy thing, or really challenging. Any thoughts or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Bill

Hi Bill
well the best person to answer that question is the lady who is doing the afterv fx work for you. only she knows what her system can handle. I would recommend first and foremost uncompressed avi if she is on windows or uncompressed .mov if she is on a mac. otherwise if she cannot handle uncompressed because the file is too big you could give her a quicktime animation. i think the file is a little smaller than uncompressed but i could be wrong. but qt animation is still a big file. you could also render out the video as an image sequence I recommend a TIFF sequence suing LZW compression to keep the file sizes down. give her the image sequence she can add the fx and then she can render out the final product as an image sequence again which you can match up with the audio track on your pc. she can also give you an uncompressed file which you can then render out to cineform.

ESS workflows clarification required

Hi ,
i am working on Ess workflows (ws12300111 ). i have copied standard workflo(ws12300111) and deleted loops and hr approval steps ,as our requirement is just sending notification to manager and mail to user after approval or rejection .
doubts:
1.) if we take step type 'send mail' in workflow builder will that mail reflect in portal inbox ,if not how do ?
2.)when i have applied leave in portal it is giving error stating that 'you are not possible agent' but i am using the standard one (given as general task at task level)?
please clarify these doubts.
Regards,
SreeHarsha

Hi Sreeharsha Reddy,
1.) if we take step type 'send mail' in workflow builder will that mail reflect in portal inbox ,if not how do ?
No. For that you have synchoronise the task with the portal application in the tcode swnconfig.
2.)when i have applied leave in portal it is giving error stating that 'you are not possible agent' but i am using the standard one (given as general task at task level)?
Yes, it is correct. When ever you are using the standard workflow check for the general forwarding allowed in the task level and try to test once again.
Thanks and Regards

Implementing ESS Workflow

Hi Friends,
I am new to HR. I want to try implementing ESS. I am quite comfortable with all the activities it takes to implement ESS except for Workflows.Is there any documents available providing a sort of walkthrough of how to implement ESS workflow from Portal(UWL)?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Nathan.

Hi Nathan,
Which Wofkflow you are looking for? There are some standard WF's (Leave) already in the system...From your Portal Content Directory you can find these Iviews under migrated content -> EP version -> Iviews -> ESS :working time -> Leave request...
And from the iview properties, you can find the workitem
WS200000081 name..You execute this Woritem in SWDD trnx...
Later you copy the workitem and the iview and do necessary modifications.
Hope it helps .
Rgds,
Jothi.
