Group Step issue in Workflow

Hi,
I'm facing a problem while using the Group step in workflow.
After the Group step is over, i have used few validate and Assign steps and the a Process step.
But as the workflow moves from Group to Process, all these steps are ignored.
I tried entering a Process step immediately after the Group and then the validate Assign steps and then Process. This time it worked as I had inserted an extra Process step immediately after Group.
Design which did not work: Assign 1 and Assign 2 did not get executed
Group -> Assign1->Assign2->Process
Design which worked: Assign 1 and Assign 2 did not get executed
Group -> Process ->Assign1->Assign2->Process
But I cannot just simply enter one more Process step in between in the workflow, as it hinder the flow.
Plz suggest a solution!

Ketan

Hi ketan,
The assign step can be connected to the group step without any problem. But i do not know why it is failing in your case.
But if it so, try putting a merge step after group. As merge is an Automatic step, that will allow you to remove the Extra Process stencil that you have added( in order to make your Workflow work). Merge will not require any action from you.
Then connect your assignments steps to the merge Step.
Note- Merge will not get connected to Validate step, if in case it is required by you.
I hope it helps.
Please reward points if found useful.
Thanks and Regards

Connect step not acceptable inside Group step in Workflow

Hi SDNers,
I am creating a workflow which needs to be triggered when a new record is created, the flow of the workflow should be such that the record details should go to Operations and Finance Users for putting record details simultaneoulsy and then to Operations and Finance Manager for approval.
I have put a group step which has both Operation and Finance process and then I am using a Connect step after both processes to connect them to their Approve step.
Data Manager Documentation shows that a connect step can be inside a group step.
[url]http://help.sap.com/saphelp_mdm550/helpdata/en/43/8b56e16c3a47b6e10000000a11466f/content.htm[url]
But I get an error saying step Connect cannot be inside the Group step
Please guide me about the same, suggest if you have any other way of executing the same workflow.
Regards,
Gautam Purohit

hi,
you can configure your workflow like this.
Start --> Group ( in the group, process step, in the process you can assign the users (operations and finance) --> then you can keep Approve step ( in approve step, you can assign the users, who will approve it, in your case Managers) --> then Stop.
inspite of group step , you can use Process step, in this step you can assign the users ( finance and operations users),
it is not possible to insert the Approve step in group.
hope this may help you,

But now i need to assign this to '_Attach_Objects' of workflow container. so please help me for this binding issue. which i need to bind from method to> task to> workflow. so from next step onwards in workflow i will get that attachment.
Smit Shah

Hi,
1) In the T.code SWO1, you have to create a custom method for the BO, there execute that method and check whether it working fine
2) Then goto T.code PFTC and Create a Task (Task no. will generate automatically), then call this method and generate the binding
3) Goto T.code SWDD and call that Task by assigning that Task no. and assign the binding
Then test your workflow.
For the Binding see this [link|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/c8/bfc39b0fc57a49a0291378f8be0cd6/frameset.htm].

Help required understanding steps of Transfer Workflow:WS01000014

Hi All,
Please help me understand the steps of this workflow..i have already gone thru some explaination about this workflow from this [link|http://www.sapfans.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=292192&start=0&st=0&sk=t&sd=a] but getting confused with few steps.
Correct me if i am wrong ..the workflow is triggered when a new position is created?(to which employee is going to be transffered?)
In step1:check target postion..of who? and then what happens?
step on user and role is confusing too
there are two specify postion in two departments..what are the two postions for ? 1 fro employee and one for his new manager/hr admin?
pls advice
thanks in advance

Hello,
The workflow is triggered when an instance of object ORGCHEARM
issues the event CREATED - ie there has been an organizational change.
Step 1 is condition "Check Target Position" :
( Designation.Root <> 'P'     and
Designation.Object Type <> ''     and
Designation.Object ID   <>     00000000
) or
( Designation.Root = 'P'     and
Designation.Object Type = 'S'     and
Designation.Object ID   <>     00000000
If true then continue, if false: Specify Agent.
Specify Agent branches according to type of
Agent Specification. The condition is:
Designation.User Name <> ''
In both cases task TS01000118 (Specify Position in New Department)
is called. If the condition was true then it's called with as agent
the contents of ORGCHEARM.ACROSSBORDERUSER; if not true then
the role AC0000168 is used to determine the superior(s) of the
"object type affected" and they are used as the agents (ie they receive the workitem).
Hope this helps.

How to use LOOP(Until) step in a Workflow

Hi,
How to use LOOP(Until) step in a Workflow?
What are the steps involved in using the step LOOP(Until).

Hmmm... using it is just like using a LOOP UNTIL statement in any programming language. You get at least one loop iteration, as opposed to a WHILE loop which may give you zero iterations.
You simply insert a node of this type in the workflow, and magically there will be a loop inside which you can insert the steps you want to execute in the loop, and by double-clicking at the end node of the loop you can enter the condition for exiting.
What exactly is it you are having trouble understanding about the use of it?

Workflow Questions - How to execute the steps in a workflow automatically?

I am using MDM 5.5 SP6.
My Question is how to execute the steps in the workflow automatically. That means NO user interaction.
I have a simple workflow, Start- Process -- Syndicate - Stop.
When a new record added /updated/inserted this workflow will start automatically. The workflow inbox, the workflow status is u2018Receivedu2019 Step is u2018Processu2019. Now I have to right click on the record then u2018Next Stepu2019 then click on u2018Syndicateu2019 then workflow completes automatically.
How to execute the Syndication step automatically?. I donu2019t want to have any user interaction to syndicate these records.
Is this possible?
The reason for this is I want to do some field validation and based on the field validation some assignments then then I want to syndicate these records without user interaction..

Hi,
If you want to do some validations and then based on result assignments on some of the fields before syndicating, then you have to use workflow. Only syndication server will not fulfill this requirement.
you may try by making validation's automatic property as "Error". This way it will not allow to add any record not fulfilling validation. You can also try using calculated fields instead of assignment.
I am not sure if you can make your workflow fully automatic, because atleast one process step is must for any workflow, and process step means user action.

Workflow issue - Main workflow container elements are not updated.

Hi All
We have implemented N-step badi for approval process and for this we have activated one workflow which contains subworkflow .
During approval process , only the subworkflow container elements( approver list and last approver) getting updated with status and time.But main workflow container elements is not updating with these details.
Binding between main workflow and subworkflow is perfect. But reverse binding ( from subworkflow -> main workflow ) will take place once subworkflow is completely finished. But here we will require / need to pass some information from sub workkflow to main workflow when still subworlflow in process( before completed itself).
Please let me know is there any process / steps is required to pass values between subworkflow to main workflow ( binding is perfect).
Please let me the way how I can update the main workflow container from subworkflow container or from any step in sub workflow .
In subworkflow . we have loop of approvers and it will send workitems to approvers one by one.
Here i need to update Main workflow with the information like last approver and approver list with status and approved time.
So please suggest how Can I update main workflow container from subworkflow while subworkflow is still in process( subworkflow not yet completed).
Kindly reply me ASAP.
Thanks and Regards
Madhukar .

Yes I am setting SWC_SET_ELEMENT for my container values,the ones for which i have defined as EXPORT.
And I have checked the task also...
Everything has been checked properly..The binding is fine.
Thanks & regards,

Confirmation n-step Admin approval workflow

Hello friends,
We struck up in setting up admin workflow with the badi BBP_WFL_ADMIN_APPROV. We have activated the workflow WS10400020 and we could able to determine approvers in that badi and able to pass the approver into output parameter of badi et_agent. Approvers are getting determined in the confirmation and able to approve it.
But we need to have two step approval in that badi. Is the admin workflow (WS10400020) one-step approval workflow? Can we have two - steps in this workflow? In the badi, we are determining two approvers and all the approvers are getting passed into et_agent which is then getting passed to first step in the approval process. We would like to pass one of the approver in to next step.
Could you please advise me on that?
Thanks,
Arun

Masa,
Thanks for your reply.
Can we manually add approvers in case of confirmation one or two step approval workflows? Can we replace an approver who already there approval preview with an adhoc approver? In my case, both the feature is not working. Just want to know is this a standard process or we have a fix for that.
Thanks,
Arun

Hi,
Could you figure out why the event linkage is breaking when you make it Gen.Task? I think, there is some problem in your wflow template. May be do a Syntax Check in the testing environment. If that time, some error happens, then by the System Defaults in the Event linkage SWETYPV, it will deactivate the linkage.
I don't think this has got anything to do with you making TS as Gen.Task. Did you see the even trace to see what's the error for linkage breaking ?
More info. would help in identifying the issue.

Problem with Matching and Merging Step of MDM Workflow

Hi,
I have created a workflow which will first Match Step where the user will do both
Matching and Merging. Then, it will go for a process step Final Review.
Then, it will go for Branch step which is named as Decide on Check in.
There are two workflow which are launched after this step.
My workflow ran one time.
The number of records is: 19585. The Match step which is assigned to a different user is not performing.
It is a simple match based on First Name, Middle Name and Last Name.
Any suggestion?
Regards
Kaushik Banerjee

Hi Kaushik,
What do you mean with "not Performing"? One suggestion, just log in with the 'Different User' who has been assigned for the matching task, and under that user goto the matching tab, in matching tab you will find a sub tab for Workflow, I hope you can work from there, If this doesnt solve your problem, then please let us know.
Cheers,
Cherry.
Sorry problem with button;... so message came again... apologize.....

N step SC Approval Workflow - PCW

Hi Experts,
I'm new to SRM.
We have requirment for N-Level Approvals Sequentially at item based for the SC .
The Approval Level needs to be determined dynamically , by comparing the Total value of the SC with the Approval limit maintined in the Custom Table.The maximum Level of approval is 3.
Example:
Workitem Should be triggered Sequentially.
If the SC has 2 line items .
First Line item
When the Ship-to address is maintained,the Total values of SC - 3000£ and the Line item Value is above threshold value.
Workitem reaches Approver1 - Approved then
Workitem reaches Approver2- Approved then
Workitem reaches Approver3
Second Line item
When the Ship-to address is maintained,the Total values of SC - 3000£ and the Line item Value is below threshold value.
Workitem Shouldnot Trigger.
Questions:
Do i need to maintain 1 or 3 process level at Config?
is it possible to check the Line item value at the Evaluation ID itself by copying the FM /SAPSRM/WF_BRF_0EXP000
, if so how to to know the for which line item(item guid) the Process level is been called?
There are three conditins to be checked for triggering the workitem
1.Ship to party check
2.Total value Sc check
3 Line item value check
Which conditions can be maintinaed in the Evaluation Id?
Which conditions can be maintinaed in the BAdi?
How to Achive the requirmeent.
Please Let me know how to proceed.
Thanks in Advance.

To enable filtering the Purchase Orders based on Purchasing Group in Issue

Hi All,
We are facing one issue
Currently we are working with Extended Classic Scenario with SRM 5.0 and support pack 11
If the buyer uses Issue PO transaction in SRM, there are POs from all the buyers.
There is no filter to allow the buyer to display only POs relevant for his/her Purchasing group.
To enable filtering the Purchase Orders based on Purchasing Group in Issue Purchase Order transction, we found one
OSS note : 1162884 - BBP_PPF: Purchasing group as search criteria for PO
But we found that this oss note is not applicable for our system version
Could you please help me to resolve this issue by any suggestion or by any other oss note?
Thanks
Snehal

Hi Snehal,
There is a easy way to do that.
Go to buyer role in PFCG transaction and look for profile and go inside profile ...look for your transaction...
for Process PO transaction - BBP_PD_PO and you have field BBP_PURGRP...using which you can restrict it on purchasing group..
You may have to copy same role and create new roles based on purchasing group..
I feel that basis or Security and Authorization team can help you in this matter.

Getting sequence main group steps via LabVIEW

Hi everyone,
I try to solved next task. I have LabVIEW Operator UI for execution sequence files, use callbacks for actions updates (load sequence file, entry point, etc.) and I need replace TestStand UI SequenceView Control by customized indicators, which will contain only Main group steps (names + limits + units + results). I was searching for TestStand API (object which contain all necessary parameters) which can be passed to LabVIEW. Does anybody know such things? Thanks.
Best regards, Sergii

Hi Jesse,
My Sequence file contains Numeric Limit test and Multiple Numeric Limit Test steps. I try to display in Execution Display Limits for steps + measured values in separate columns. For this purposes I configure SequenceView property. In column section I've created new column Low Limit and for Column properties: Type use expression.
For Numeric Limit I use next expression: Test Step.StepType.Name =="NumericLimitTest"? Step.Limits.Low :"".
For this step type it's valid. I try do same for Multiple Numeric Limit Test, to show all Low Limit for each measurement within one step. I create Step.StepType.Name == "NI_MultipleNumericLimitTest" ? Step.Result.Measurement[0].Limits.Low : "" for Low Limit, but it's shows only one element. I was searching how can I display all low limits for one Multiple numeric limit test. My idea was repeat Step.Result.Measurement[i].Limits.Low for each measurement and then display results ("concatenate" each result) for one step, but I didn't found how to do that.
For example:
Step                                      Low Limit
Multiple Numeric Test 1            0
                                                  10
Multiple Numeric Test 2            5
                                                  15
Could you help me with advice? Thank you.
