GR notification to PO Creator

All -
I had a question regarding GR notifications.
One of our requirements is to send a notification to the PO creator (buyer) when a GR is done on one of their PO's. I tried the following:
1. MN21 - maintained output condition records for output type MLGR.
Partner function = MP;
Message transmission = 7 (Simple mail);
Despatch time = 4 (Start immediately when saving the application);
Language key = EN (English).
2. M706 - Output type MLGR
maintained Access Sequence 0002 (GR Mails);
Access to condition is checked / flagged on and Partner function MP.
3. M708 - procedure selected is ME0001 and requirement is 171.
This only gives us a message that a GR was done, doesnt say which PO, what qty etc.. Please help!

1. use variables '&' instead of '$'
2. In transaction M706 for output type MLGR, make sure you have maintained the include by going in the long text, Choose Goto -> Change Editior, and maintain the form here :
"A goods receipt for your purchase order &MSEG-EBELN&
item &MSEG-EBELP& has just been entered.
Material: &MSEG-MATNR& &EKPO-TXZ01&
Quantity delivered: &MSEG-ERFMG&
Vendor: &MSEG-LIFNR&, &AM07M-NAME1&
Posting date: &MKPF-BLDAT&
&MFG&
&MKPF-USNAM&"
Then in MN22, delete the earlier condition record and create a new condition record in MN21
Here in the Communication in the MENU select
Goto -> Execution Parameter. You reach the dialog box Change Execution Parameter. Here you maintain the following data for mail processing:
Execution type U Transaction with memory
Execution element MB03
Memory ID MBN
Par name: RM07M-MBLNR Parameter value: MSEG-EBELN
Save
Then create a PO (please remember to click on the GR message in the header), and create a GR against the PO.
In SBWP, you will get the values and not definitions this time for the message created.

Send Custom Mail Notifications to Author/Creator when workflow ends

Hello All,
I am working on workflows and I want to send a mail notification to the "Author/Creator" when the workflow finishes.
Currently, UCM workflows do not provide this functionality Out-Of-The-Box.
For this I implemented a filter and hooked it to the event +"advanceDocumentStateMarkWorkflowFinished"+ event.
Now I am able to send mail using the following code:
InternetFunctions.sendMailTo(email, "DynamicPrefixTemplate","Workflow Notifications", cxt);
However, I am not able to retrieve the author name to whom I have to send the notification. I found that "databinder" object (passed as param) in method signature below doesn't contain the author name attribute.
public int doFilter(Workspace ws, DataBinder binder, ExecutionContext cxt)
I can see other attributes such as dId, dName etc. but not the "dAuthor". Can someone please suggest how can I retrieve the author name for the document for which workflow has just finished and notify the author..
I know there are services like getDocumentByName, but I do not know can I call these services from my filter code in Java. Please guide me.
Thanks in Advance,
Aakash

Hi,
If what you need is to send a notification to the original author, you do not need to write custom code, you can follow these steps:
1) on the first step, assign the dDocAuthor to a workflow variable. As an example, on the Entry event if the first step add this code:
<$wfSet("originalAuthor",dDocAuthor)$>
Note that you need the previous step only if you allow revisions during your workflow. If you don't, then dDocAuthor would not change and you can skip that step
2) on the last step, send a notification using the variable we saved on the first step as the addresee. As an example, on the on Exit event add this code:
<$wfNotify(originalAuthor,"user")$>
(if you do not allow revisions, substitute originalAuthor by dDocAuthor)
Another thing, a lot of people run into the need to override the standard email templates when they start sending custom notifications. The workflow administration guide has a very nice and detailed section that explains how to do this. Also, the idocscript reference guide is always a good point to check the correct syntax for idocscript functions. There is a section of workflow related functions/variables in that guide that always comes in handy.
Hope this helps.

Notification to PR Creator once GR is Done

Hi,
I would like to know if there is a standard way of notifying the PR creator once the GR for the requirement is done.
Thanks,
jograd

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I think the one you are reffering to is going to send a notification to the PO creator but not the PR creator. I was wondering if there is a way to also notify the PR creator.
Thanks,

Notifications in SRM

Hi all,
I want to send the notification to the creator of the shopping cart in case of on behalf shopping scenario. In case of on behalf shopping the standard SRM takes "Initiator of the workflow" as on behalf user and not the actual creator of the SC.
Kindly, advice on this.
Any good document on workflow customization or basics will be appreciated. Kindly, send them across to [email protected]
Regards,
Ravi

Ravi,
We have the same issue with the notification going to someone who doesn't know what SRM is.
I raised a call with SAP and their response is that is how it was designed. A bit of a flaw I would say!
Cheers

Service Desk: How do i Reply back to a support message?

I am in the process of configuring the servcie desk.
I am using Solution manager 4.0 sp13.
I am recieving the messages in the Service desk, and the suport team members are able to get their respective messges based on the PFAC responsibility rules.
How do the support team members reply back to the message creater about the completion of the work,?
Or
put it another way, how does a mesage creater in a satellite system know the status of his message?
Lalchand.R

Hi Lalchand,
An action can be defined in configuration (SPRO) for sending mail notification to message creators whenever the message gets a particular status.
You can copy the standard action ' Email message to creator' under the SLFN action profile and change the conditions for automatic trigger.

PDF Document Properties restrictions

I'm trying to open a pdf on an iPad with Adobe Reader running IOS 6.1
The document opens, but has a watermark (copyright notification from document creator) all over the document's pages. This does not happen on the Mac or PC version of Adobe Reader.
Yes, the document properties are set to open only in Adobe Reader, not other PDF viewing programs. Why does the watermark appear on the iPad version?
Thanks!

It's not really a document property or security restriction as they are normally thought of. A document can include JavaScript that executes when the document is opened to show or hide layers or fields. It can also include Show/Hide Layer or Show/Hide Field actions, but these would only work if the viewer supports such actions. The script can check to see what viewer is being used, but if the viewer doesn't support JavaScript or just has limited support (like Reader for iOS), then the script can't execute as intended and the document can be left in a state that's unusable. So yes, such a thing won't work with Reader for iOS until it supports this type of control.

Generic Object Services for a Z program

Hello all!
I need to create a Z application for displaying master material data, related batchs, associated QA, and PP data, all in one screen.
I need to have the Object Services Toolbox in the top of my screen just like in Material Master appears, for using it to attach files, notes, etc, being in this environment.
I have read about first I need to create a BO in SW01, and then to call some methods in class CL_GOS_MANAGER.
Does anyone have experience or any idea for do that?
thank you very much,
Ibrahim

Slight modification, check that a number has been entered in the field before you put the toolbox on the screen.
report zrich_0001 .
parameters: p_qmnum type VIQMEL-qmnum.
at selection-screen output.
<b>check p_qmnum <> space.</b>
call function 'SWU_OBJECT_PUBLISH'
    exporting
      objtype                 = 'BUS2038' "Maint notification
      objkey                  = p_qmnum
*     CREATOR                 = ' '
*     METHOD                  = ' '
*   TABLES
*     CONTAINER               =
   exceptions
     objtype_not_found       = 1
     others                  = 2.
start-of-selection.
I tested this with a valid notification, I created an attachment in IW22, then ran this program, entered the number, hit enter, went into the toolbox, and my attachement was there.

WS20000075 BUS2012 purchase order workflow doesnt handle rejection ??

Hi,
I need to understand how the std workflow template WS20000075 works for rejections and subsequent cancellations of rejections ?
I have seen that there is nothing in there .......it just completes the workflow, thats it
So if I have to arrange for any activities after rejection like notification to PO creator etc, I have to do it on my own - either change the present template or create new one for rejection ..... is it correct ?
Rejection is important event and its hard to belive theres nothing in the std PO release workflow given by SAP for it........so wanted to share experience......
its very urgent for me so any kind of inputs are appreciated, thank you very much in advance.

Hi IA,
I have the WS65400030 but there is undefined step in there. It has to be TS65400035. So I cant use this.
Also when I traced back to check how I missed on this workflow template for BUS2012 I found that it doesnt show up in where used list done for BUS2012 in SWO1. coz thats how I had started with for the workflows of purchase order.
So this is a problem in the system right ? my version is ECC 6.0
thanks

Doubts with the new process-controlled worflow

Hi everyone,
We are working with a new implementation of SRM 7 in classic scenario. We have a pair of doubt about the new process-controlled workflow. Can you help us?
Our doubts are:
1) In SC there are a new button called "inquire", this is used to return the SC to the creator in order to change the SC. Can we uses this same button in central contracts?
2) In the documentation we read, we can configure when a notification can be sent. For example, can we configure than only when a SC or contract is rejected the system sends a notification to the creator of the document? Is this notification is a e-mail? If the WF has n-steps approvers and we configurate that SRM sends the notification to the approver, does it mean that this notification is sent to all the approvers?
3) When a SC is released, can it be modified?
We need your help.
BR,
Iván

1) In SC there are a new button called "inquire", this is used to return the SC to the creator in order to change the SC. Can we uses this same button in central contracts?
"Inquire" button will be only avaliable if you have configured approval with completion in the process level.. you can configure this for contract as well
2) In the documentation we read, we can configure when a notification can be sent. For example, can we configure than only when a SC or contract is rejected the system sends a notification to the creator of the document? Is this notification is a e-mail? If the WF has n-steps approvers and we configurate that SRM sends the notification to the approver, does it mean that this notification is sent to all the approvers?
when a SC or contract is rejected the system sends a notification to the creator of the document? Yes.. system will send an email notification
Is this notification is a e-mail? Yes
If the WF has n-steps approvers and we configurate that SRM sends the notification to the approver, does it mean that this notification is sent to all the approvers? Yes
3) When a SC is released, can it be modified? SC can't be modified once its Approved..

Send backend error notification to shopping cart creator/requestor

Hi Gurus,
We are currently using SRM7.0 classic scenario. In RZ20 transaction code, errors on the shopping cart appeared. We have a requirement for the ff:
Send a notification to user informing them about the backend application error,
Download and store the error in file server or a custom table
and Delete the error from the application monitor
Please advice if you have encountered any of these.
Thanks.

Hi Gerhard!
Did you check DC30 in the backend to have the type of file used in the attachment?
We had a similar problem after the last patching and SAP advised to change the file format in DC30 in the backend to show for example: instead of *.xls change to .
I hope this helps.

PO creator not getting mails if the approver rejects the same

Hi Friends,
We have an issue in SRM PO approval workflows, our requirement is that the creator should get a mail notification if the PO is rejected by the approver. This is not happening, while in case of shopping cart the creator is getting the mail if rejected.
On little investigation we have found that the workflow via business object attributes is looking at a table 'BBPC_WF_MAILSEND' and sending mail if there is corresponding entry. For shopping cart there is one entry and the fields for sending mails to created, approver etc are checked.
We could not figure out where to maintain this table, can some body throw light please.
Thanks

Email notification to Manager on routine change request

I am trying to set up a multi review activity template for routine change request. The first Review Activity should notify the creator of the Change Requests Manager so the Manager can review. In the Review Activity, there is a check box for "Line Manager
Should Review". If I just check this box, will the Manager listed in AD for that user get an email or do I need to create an email subscription?
If I need the to create an email subscription, the question would now be what do I select for "Related Recipients" keeping in mind this is a Review Activity? Since we don't know who the Manager will be as it depends on the user creating the CR,
I certainly can't hard code a recipient so I need to user Related Recipients. When I get to this part, I have a laundry list of selections that basically do not make sense to me. Any help here would be appreciated.

There's really three separate problems here, so i'll address them indivigually:
First, you want to automatically add a line manager to a change request. This is the intention of the Line Manager checkbox. when the activity status workflow runs, and that box is checked, it looks at the parent work item, then looks at the created by users
of that parent work item, and adds that user to the list of reviewers for the activity. The implied permissions (http://blogs.technet.com/b/servicemanager/archive/2014/03/19/improving-ad-connector-performance.aspx,
this seems to be the only documentation of it) will allow that user to approve.
Second, there are no notifications by default, but a common requirement is a notification for all reviewers when their input is required. i have used
This method to generate these notifications. fortunately, the method Travis details is compatible with the line manager checkbox.
Finally, Approvals by emails is a function of
the Exchange Connector. You can set up keywords to allow people to reply to notifications with directives like [Approved] or [Resolved], and the connector will apply those directives to related connectors. You have to modify the exchange connector to include
the id in brackets (i.e. "[RA1234]") so it gets related correctly, but using the notification method from above, this should be easy (and
here is a hint).
