Forwarding Workitem to Other Approver

HI,
we are having classic scenario with 2 level approval.
User has created a SC which went to a approver X who is on leave.Now i need to forward that workitem to Another person who can approve that.
Kindly guide me how to perform this.
regards
subbu

Hi go into the current approvers workload inbox tcode swi5 and then copy the workitem number, then execute tcode swia enter the workitem id and then click the forward button and then put the approver's id to whom you want this to be sent.
Alternatively go into tabel hrus_d2 and maintain the enter the current approver in the firs field and in the seconf field enter the desired approver and give s start and end date, So that you need not forward any workitem everytime there is one.
Hope this helps.

IF_SWF_IFS_WORKITEM_EXIT: How to find out recipient of forwarded Workitem

Hello everybody,
I am developping a workflow application with an external status monitoring, i.e. for each workitem I must write the current status as well as the person or organizational unit who is reponsible for the workitem to an external Z-table.
I found that the programming exits using the interface IF_SWF_IFS_WORKITEM_EXIT would be the right way to do this. However, I cannot find the recipient of a forwarded workitem in the whole object, neither a method which would return this information.
Does anybody have an idea?
Thanks a lot
Martin

Hi,
not quite.
I want to achieve the following:
Let's assume, the workitem is in the inbox of user DILBERT.
Now DILBERT is in his Business workplace, selects the workitem and clicks "forward". He gets the popup to enter the user he wants to send the workitem to. Let's say, he picks user WALLY.
Now I want to upate my custom status table with the user WALLY as the actual agent. Unfortunately, when I call the mehtod IM_WORKITEM_CONTEXT->get_header, the field WI_AAGENT still contains the value DILBERT instead fo WALLY.
And I can find the value WALLY in no other accessible field either.
Thanks,
Martin

I need a fmodule to forward workitems

hello,
I need a function module to forward workitems. I know about SAP_wi_forward and SAP_WI_OBJECT_FORWARD but these function modules can only forward one workitem at a time,. Iam looking for a fmodule which transfers multiple workitems to a user in one time..Will u help me in this ASAP.................
Thanks And Regards,
Vicky

you should use SWW_WI_FORWARD
all processings on work items are always done one by one so you have to do the LOOP by yourself

Limit users in search when Forwarding workitem or creating Substit. Rule?

When you are in Universal Worklist, you have capabilities to Forward workitems or Maintain Substitution Rules. In both cases there is a select box where you can search and pick a user from the system who you want to Forward a workitem to or say make your Substitute when creating a Substitution rule.
Is there a way to limit the users returned when searching?   It appears you can find any account/user in the system. For example, we entered "admin*" in the search box and it returned "administrator". We would not want this or any other kind of non end user account.
Also, we have concerns about customers accidentally being able to forward workitems to different customers or competitors.
Matt

Hi Mike, thanks for the OSS and reply. I agree with what you are saying. I'll just add a few comments. To help clarify, I guess there are two security concerns.   One is who you can forward workitems to and the other is hacker type security. A security vulnerability report from a 3rd party is what prompted my posting. They had issue with the user search on creating substitute and forwarding workitems (the fact it allows a complete enumeration of the system's user accounts).
Restricting by possible agents (=General Forwarding not Allowed) is also for exactly this purpose.
Perhaps that explains why not many companies have the same concern?
I agree and we are using this in some workflows. It does prevent you from forwarding a workitem to someone that is not a possible agent. The problem is that the user search still shows all user accounts. Fails their report and some of our users complain it forces them to know who the other possible agents are or guess.
Another option is to not allow forwarding for the task but put the whole thing in a loop and give them a forward option as a decision choice or button which results in an agent selection step or popup box and then loops around, sending the task to the new agent.
Yes, we do this in some workflows. The only issue is that we do this with synchronous dialog in SBWP and we cannot do the same in UWL.
Thanks again for your reply.

Filtering workitems from SRM approval Inbox

Is there a way to filter non shopping cart related workitems from the "Approval" in box in SRM. We have some custom workflows for E-forms and would like filter these from showing up in the SRM approval inbox.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Regards,
Ram Enaganti.

Hi Ram,
Just curious - if the users aren't going to receive the e-forms work items from the SRM system in their SRM inbox then how are they ever going to execute them?
The easy answer (assuming you have Portal) is to pull all your SRM work into the Universal Worklist and use the UWL configuration to create different views for the different types of work.
Trying to do the same thing in SRM would be a pain and would involve modifying either function module BW02 or the BBPAPPROVAL html templates.

Workflow initiator does not get workitems when PR Approve rejects.

Hi,
Workflow initiators does not get workitems when PR Approve rejects.Is there any thing missing in that .
Please let me know .

Gurprit Bhatia
Edited by: GURPRIT BHATIA on Jan 28, 2009 8:38 AM

Hi GB,
In order that the WF initiator gets workitems on PR rejection, you need to assign method 'InfoReleaseRejected' (BO BUS2009) to a task in the PR rejection flow of your WF. If this is done, then check if you have assigned WF Initiator as the Agent in that task.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

Forwarding workitem to a Service user.

Hello All,
               We are using a standard function module SAP_WAPI_FORWARD_WORKITEM OR by SWIA
               for forwarding a workitem but its showing Following error
              ERROR   :   User ABC is not a dialog user: Not possible to forward.

Issue :- Forwarded Workitem displayed in Both Inbox

Dear Experts ,
I am having the below issue related to Forwarded Workitem .
I was having the problem of " Workitem dissapears from SAP Inbox after forward " , and was got resolved by implementing the SAP Note - 1308276 . After implementing the Note , the below issue occurs .
If a workitem is forwarded from User 1 inbox to User 2 inbox then , it should get dissapeared from user1 inbox and should get assigned to user2 inbox ,. But now the workitem is being displayed in both user1 & user 2 inbox .
This issue occured after implementing the SAP Note - 1308276 .
Let me know if any more clarifications needed .
If any one has any idea related to the mentioned issue , suggestion will be highly appreciated .
Thanks

Hi,
That really doesn't sound normal behaviour at all. I think you should check if SAP has provided a new note for this. And if not, then address the question to SAP.

Forwarding Workitem Problem

Hello Experts,
i have a problem.
Sometimes we forwad a workitem to another agent (from business workplace) and after this the workitem has no agent. When i read the workflow-protocol, i can see no error and the workitem seems to be correctly forwarded to the other user, but the workitem is not in the inbox of the user.
The tasks of the Workflow are all defined as "generall Task"... so there is no error in my opinion. When i run the report SWI2_ADM1 the workitem is listed as "workitem without agent". When i run the report SWIA and forward the workitem another time to the same user, the workitem appears correctly in the inbox.
And last but no least... this error occurs not everytime with the same workitem. Sometimes i forward a workitem and its correct, sometime (same Workflow definition, other case) it disappear.
Has anybody an idea, whats wrong?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi,
this isssue sounds too weird to be caused by some customization.
I would check OSS to see if it is acknowledged by SAP and raise a message when you dont find a solution there.
On how to solve:
I'm guessing it is some sort of buffer problem that is causing it, check SM21 to see if there are any weird entries.
Also check if /$tab and /$sync will solve your problem. Do not use these commands in production since it could disrupt an update on master data somewhere (pretty rare but still, better safe than sorry)
Kind regards, Rob Dielemans

Apple recently merged all my devices so that if I miss messages or facetime calls on one device, they get forwarded to my other devices. how do I UNDO this so this no longer happens?

Apple recently merged all my devices so that if I miss messages or facetime calls on one device, they get forwarded to my other devices. how do I UNDO this so this no longer happens?

If you don't want them to be unified, don't use the same Apple ID for FaceTime and iMessage on our devices. Go to Settings>Messsages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a separate ID. Do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.

How to forward to an other page within an custom action handler?

I need to achieve following effect, I want to forward from within an custom action handler to an other page, without calling the other action handlers on the same XSQL page.
I already wrote some action handlers. I placed 3 of them in one XSQL page.
The first action handler is supposed to check the request parameters of the previous page. If a parameter is invalid, I want to forward to an other page without calling the other handlers in my XSQL page.
I was trying to achieve this using sendRedirect(), but without success. The other following handlers in the page are called as well.
Any help will be really appreciated. Thank you.
Peter

Steve,
was this question resolved? I am running
into a similar problem.
My JSP includes a xsql page, but at the
end of it I want to forward/redirect the
user to another page. I can't get this
to work as the include directive always
flushes the servlet buffer and hence
a jsp:forward cannot come after a
jsp:include. I even tried
response.sendRedirect() and
that also does not work!
Is there any solution for this?
cheers,

Can my texts be automatically forwarded to my other phone?

Can my texts be automatically forwarded to my other phone?

It would depend on the phone receiving the texts you want to forward. If it's a smartphone, there most likely is an app that will forward texts to another number. If it's a basic phone, then no, you are not able to forward texts to another number automatically. You can manually forward each one, but there is no setting or feature that will allow you to do so automatically.

No Notify when Approver Forwards workitem - Accident or Design?

Hellos.
I am trying to figure out what IDM is doing when an Approver selects an administrator to whom he wishes to Forward his workitem.
I see that deeply buried is the :forwardToButton variable.
I understand that the current workitem becomes owned by the selected admin from the drop-down Select list.. i.e. it is indeed Forwarded.
What I dont understand is why there is no automatic Notify activity informing the new owner of his obligations when this happens.
How has the field plugged this hole? Any hints by the experts?
The new owner has to be notified by email somehow, or does IDM rely on the forwarder to do it automagically.
GF

Hi,
This is default feature. In this case, the owner of the workitem is changed to the new owner and emails are not triggered. You can call a rule in onclick and send an email

Hi,
U can follow the below steps to achieve ur expected result:
1) U hav ur workitem sending step. Include a deadline under 'latest end' tab. Here u specify the date & time whn the workitem shld b forwarded to the next person. Select 'Modelled' as action.
2) This will include another branch for deadline for tht step.
3) Include 'Process control' step in the new branch.
4) Select 'Cancel workitem' and specify the workflow step number for ur workitem sending step used in step 1.
5) In the 'outcome tab', u can see 'Processing Obselete' . Activate tht by clicking on the gray button. This will include another branch as 'Processing Obselete' for the step.
6) Now include another workitem sending step for the next person.
Whenever the workitem is not completed within the specified time by Person1, it will delete the workitm in his inbox & send it to Person2.
Hope this helps.

Sivagami
