Free text workflow

Hello all,
Standard workflow for the free text (describe requirement) is that shopping cart is going to the purchaser and than to requestor manager to approval.
Is it possible to reverse that? I would like that such shopping cart is going to manager as first and that to purchaser.
TIA
Gordan

Hello Gordan,
This is my understanding for standard completion workflow. WS14000044.
1. Employee create a SC with free text item
2. Completion workflow starts, Purchaser updates the item
3. Employee accept the changes
If you do not need completion workflow, you can just use 2step approval and assign purchaser(ASBPURLIST) to 2nd approver. WS10000031.
or
If you need 2 steps completion workflow, copy the WS14000044 and add 2nd task.
Assign ASBMANAGER to 1st task and ASBPURLIST to 2nd task.
Regards,
Masa

  • Free Text Shopping cart WorkFlow

    Hi,
    I have to know if a shopping cart was created from a Free text item or from catalog before the WF starts (in a check funtion module).
    Is there any way to know if the shopping cart was created from free text or catalog?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    As per my understanding, you want to make decision, if it is Free text you need to start one work flow, else another workflow.
    This check you can do it in Starting conditions of the workflow. SWB_COND (Transaction).
    Go to SWB_COND, choose business object BUS2121, it will display all work flows which are event linkage activated.
    Now go to specific workflow which you need to start if it is Free text Shopping cart, if the condition is true workflow will start.
    If starting conditions are complex, suggest you to create new attribute and use the same in starting conditions.
    Hope this will be helpful, all the best.

  • Free Text e-mail in Portal UWL

    HI All,
    I have a step in my workflow that allows a user to enter a free text message which can be sent to one or more other users. A decision task comes into the users inbox. If they click reject the next step of the workflow is the task which allows them to write an email and send the mail to the requestor.
    This works perfectly in R/3, however we are using SAP 4.6c and we are trying to implement this in portal.
    The main problem with implementing the workflow in portal is that the job to sync your R/3 workflow inbox with your UWL is only run every minute which means it can take up to a minute for the email task to arrive in the users inbox after they click the Reject button.
    In short, we need the UWL to run the email task straight away when the user clicks reject.
    Has anyone come across a similar issue? All suggestions are really appreciated
    Many Thanks,
    Colm

    Colm,
    I assume you are using the UWL Userdecision handler (which is the one you are getting by default for workflow user decisions, at least in NW2004s).
    The "advance with dialog" functionality is not supported with decisions in UWL, and therefore your scenario won't work.
    The alternative is:
    - The UWL Userdecision handler offers a field to enter text in it at runtime. You can even customize whether that text should be mandatory or not depending on the decision taken by the user.
    The only thing I am not sure about is how to retrieve the text in the workflow (I haven't practiced this myself) but I am sure it must hide somewhere in a standard container element.
    - Use that text, retrieve it in a muiltiline container element, and then send that by mail with a background task.
    Hope this helps,
    Patrick

  • Making catalog free text item editable

    Hi Guys,
    We are working wirh SRM 7.0, SP09 for extended classic scenario. One of our requirement to make the catalog free text item editable was achieved by a solution as suggested in below thread.
    Editing of catalog transfered item in SC
    This solution helped to make the free text catalog item editable in SC for the requester.
    I observed that once SC is submitted and send for completion approval, the approver is no longer able to edit the free text of the catalog item. We want to allow the purchaser to edit the free text description, product category and price.
    Can anyone sugegst some approach? Your inputs will be highly regarded.
    Thanks & regards,
    Prashant

    Hi Prashant ,
    To make the filed editable  you need set the meta data in completion workflow
    you need set the meta data for field .
    Thanks & Regards

    Hi,
    If you are using Application Controlled workflow then the starting conditions for each workflow are defined in transaction SWB_COND.
    The attribute &_EVT_OBJECT.EXISTFREETEXTLINEITEM& ( &EC Requirement Coverage Request.Free entry exists& ) can be used to to distinguish between free text items and catalog items. In this transaction you can search for the other attributes you wish to use in the start conditions. You can also see the list of attributes via transaction SWO1. Enter Object/Interface Type = BUS2121. Hit display and expand the attributes menu.
    Kind regards,

  • Automatic PO creation of free text PR

    Hi!
    We have all our PRs in free text since we are not yet using material master. One of our purchase organization will only order from one vendor and they will enter that vendor and price in the PR. Is it possible to create a PO automatically from that PR without a material or source list?
    Sincerely
    Anders

    Hi
    Thank you very much. Is it possible to restrict the automatic creation to a certain purchase organization?
    If I understand you right:
    1) Create PR with item category D Service
    2) Activate automatic PO creation in ML91
    That will create POs for all PRs created as a service?
    Sincerely

  • Automatic PO from PR [free text base procurement ]

    Hi SAP gurus ,
    I have following question ,
    I am not using material master , it is a free text base procurement .
    even there are no contracts in place .
    Purchasing is only PR - PO w.r.t. & without respect to PR  - GR - IV . etc.
    How can I create a Automatic PO w.r.t. PR ?
    Can anybody please advice?
    Thanks ,
    Prasad

    Hello,
    1. Check auto PO tick in Vendor Master record.
    2. Create Info record for material group which you are going to use in PR. This is important for net price, purchasing group and tax code which will be mandatory in PO.
    3. Assign Source of supply as this info record in PR.
    4. Create auto PO in ME59N t- code.

  • I have an iPhone 4S and my friend has two ipods with two Apple ID's.  Why can't he receive messages on "Message" on one and he uses a free text app on the other which receives messages from my phone just fine.

    My friend has two ipods.  Two Apple ID's and on one ipod he has a free text app on it and only Message on the other.  He cannot receive a message from my iphone 4S on the one with Message, but receives it fine on the one with the free text app.
    He can also receive a message from my iPad on the one with Message.
    My question is how can he recieve a text from my iPhone to the ipod which has a different Apple ID than the other but does not have a free text app?
    Also on the ipod he has the free text app he has not upgraded to ios7 and won't.

    Are the use the correct email address for the contact? Those are listed in Settings>Messages>Send and Receive. When Messaging somene the iOS devices used the email address (or phone number if applicable) listed in the Contact app for that person.
    Thus, it appears the you Contact apps only has that one email address listed for the person you are trying to Message.
    If he can send you a Messages can you reply to it? If so save the sender to your Contact app.

    Now if I am trying to read  the text using either GET_SELECTED_TEXT_AS_R3TABLE and GET_SELECTED_TEXT_AS_STREAM, for the first time its reading fine but if I enter text and then press cancel ( I have save and cancel buttons in the screen ) and goes back to first screen and again come to the screen where there is Free text  then it still shows the Text even though i use DELETE_TEXT  ...Flush...buffer refresh etc etc....I tried clearing container objects as well b4 creating new objects.Still there is no help.
    Is there any thing that I am missing ?
    Any help is appreciated.

    Hi Guys...thanks for the interest .I already tried those but with no luck.I also tried Free method but it gives me a dump for someother reason.
    Its really strange as if I read that text it shows the internal table is empty.So potentially it is deleting the text but some how the screen is holding that value.

  • Free Text in Sales Order

    Hi ,
    How can we fetch the free text for a Sales Order .
    Any inputs on the same would be very helpful.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    It is just like fetching any other long text.
    You need to use the function module READ_TEXT.
    Pass the following parameters to it:
    1. Text Name
    2. Language
    3. Text ID
    4. Text Object
    You can get the values of these parameter from sales order itself.
    Go to Sales order (VA03). Enter a sales order & go inside it.
    Go to item level & select the tab 'Texts'
    In the left hand side, there will be a tree control containing text types.
    Select a text type which contains any text.
    Then click the lens button at the bottom (in the toolbar).
    The text will appear in SAP Script Editor.
    Then from the menu, select GOTO -> HEADER.
    A popup will appear with the parameter values.
    Pass these parameter values to the FM READ_TEXT & it will return you the long text.
    Hope that helps.
    Thanks,
    Saurabh

  • Enforcing free text in Transport request

    Hello Experts,
    I would like to inquire if there is a possible way to restrict or control the Short description of transport request? We have a naming convention but users are not adharing to standard standard name convension. Standard naming convention is a necessity so that we can identify quickly the ones that needs to be transported, or the ones that needs to be deleted during clean up activities. This should be strictly followed by users, instructors, trainees and developers. This naming convention needs to be strictly followed by developers to avoid their asset objects to be deleted in the system.
    For example, Our Standard name convension is <string><md><c><9999999>FREETEXT
    String = 2 char alpha numberic charactor
    MD = Module
    C = One charactor
    9999999 = Incident or CR number
    Then free text
    we want to restrict this. so if the end-user named the TR with anything else that does not follow the naming convention we have established, the end-user should encounter an error stating the he/she must change the name of the TR and follow our naming convention before he/she could proceed.
    Looking for good solution which can be easily implemented.
    regards
    Kishore

    Hi,
    Double click the request and change. There is a documentation tab. Enter the text there and save.

    For example, this program works really well with saving long text using the SAVE_TEXT function.  Here you need to create the object/id in SE75.  For this program you enter the id on the right like 999999 and enter the text on the left, execute and the text is saved, now change the id to 999998 and hit enter, notice the text is blank, now enter 999999 again, notice the text for this id has come back,  this is because the program uses READ_TEXT to retrieve the text.

  • RESULTS RECORDING WITH FREE TEXT IN QUALITY MANAGEMENT

    Hi,
    How can I give free text of 300 chars In results recording? For a process order with batch number & recipe, (in which master inspection characteristics are mentioned which are linked to general characteristics.)
    I created characteristics (type CHAR)(which can be used as free text in results recording ) I have created class, assigned chars to class & finally to material. Also assigned MIC to this class chars.
    When I do results recording I need to have these characteristics to be display as free text of 30character width. But since I have to give selected set for this general chars.(which is the system requirement) I have given  selected set while creation of characteristics.
    Due to this I can only select the codes from the selected set. Is there any process in which I can write free text up to 30 cars during results recording in quality module? & those characteristics I want to assign to MIC so that when process order is executed the first operation of quality can be done for RR.
    With Regards,
    Kareena

    Hi Kareena,
    All of first let me make it clear, if you will assign a Class Characteristic to the MIC, then it will become either Qualitative or QNT.
    Now toeards your questions solution.
    Option:-1
    As suggested by Venkatr, make the control indicator "Docu. Req" in the MIC control indicator set, page:-2. for the line item of MIC in the insepction plan.
    So, the system will prompt you a message to insert a text as described by Venkat, where you can enter the Long text also (Check the button available in the lower part of that small window)
    Option:-2
    Create a document type for this purpose, and assign a file, having 300 char. to the MIC, with the help of the "Object Link" function of SAP, avaialble with RR screen also.
    Reagrds,
    Shyamal
