Held PO triggering workflow and agent assignment to myself

Hi experts,
Is there a way where I can prevent held documents from triggering my workflow?
How can I achieve the following 2 scenarios for agent assignment:
1) Create PO and workitem route back to myself
2) Release PO and workitem route back to myself

Lester,
If you are a User01, then You started the process like if you are creating the PO, then the workflow is getting triggered. So now you are the initiator of the process, and in WF_inititor will be hold your user name user01.
Thanks,
Vijay.

Multiline Processing and Agent Assignment

I have a multiline container element that I am using in a subflow. I want the subflow to execute for each line in the multiline container.
The objects in the multiline element are, in fact, the agent ids. I am not sure of how to identify a single entry in the container in the sub flow to set the agent.
I am using this basic syntax for the expression in the agent assignment:
multilineContainerElement(index).
Is there a way to bind a single line of the mutliline element to a single instance in the activity ---> subworkflow binding?
Thanks in advance!

hi
you can achieve ur purpose by inserting Loop(until) into the workflow
till the execution take place for each and every id loop will continue ,more over for binding the multiline element you can bind the same with comaptible container in the workflow.
can u provide some details what is the nature of that multiline container that you have created ,i mean what u have given for the data structure.
and whats the purpose of using that multilione element thats a local or a global container and as fara as i think u r trying to send some mail or notification to the agent id u r retrieveing from ur container,is it or else.
its pretty simple probs if u give some details it will be sorted out easily
best regards

Workflow - Dynamic agent assignment

Hello!
I am doing Workflow development. I have a question about Workflow Agent Assignment.
I want to assign multiple agents ( 1 or 2 or more agents and It's not static. Each agents have task that processing independent. and next task is started after end of all multiple tasks.).
But I can't dynamic assignment('Adhoc agent assignment' is not that.)
Can you help me?(Is this possible?)
Best Regards,
Juhyun

Hi
If I have understood you correctly, you have a multiline container element with a number of agents (type wfsyst-agent) - and now you would like to send a workitem to each agent - and not just one workitem to all of your agent.
To achieve this you need to define the task (or sub workflow) as a multiline element. T
his is done in task implementation in the workflow builder. Switch to the tab <b>Other</b>, in here you add your multiline container element containing.
When you now go back to agent assignment, you will find two container elements for your multiline element, use the one with [&_WF_PARFOREACH_INDEX&].
The result will be that exactly one workitem is created for each entry in your multiline container element.

Regd. workflows and org. assignment

Hi,
Most of us would know PPOC and org. assignment used in workflows. What I want to know is, this org. assignments do they differ in the way they are built if we use SAP HR in our system. If so how do they differ, it is going to be the same PPOC isn't it.
Regards,
Vijay

Hello,
In my opinion they do not differ. It are the same HR objects. So techinally there is no difference i think.

Workflow Task Agent Assignment for PO Rel

Hello;
Can someone tell me how the system can be set to forward a work item for the person responsible for PO release, meaning based on the department who own the goods the system should find the person who's the approver of that department.
Thanks

Hi ,
Try assigning a new Agent Rule in the Task TS20000166.
You will have to create a custom rule using transaction PFAC. Choose option "F - Agent dertermination function to be executed" and assign a new Z function module which will determine your agent.
You can refer to function module ME_REL_GET_RESPONSIBLE while creating your own function module.
Cheers!!!

Workitem and Agent assignment

Hello,
Well, I have critical requirement.
My requirement is, there is an activity USER DECISION in a workflow. Now, that activity has a standard task automatically assigned to it. That standard is of type general task. The activity has a role assigned to it, which executes at runtime.
Now, whenever the step is being executed, a work item is being generated.
So, in this way there are a number of workitem are generated. I want the tables that would join the workitem number with the Role number or the User assigend to that activity.
Please help.
Warm Regards.
Abhijit.

Hi Arghadip,
Thanks for your continuous input.
Well, I am not able to find the item TOP_WI_ID in table SWWWIHEAD. Well, I have found out all the dialog work items by setting the value of WI_TYPE as W.
This gives me the work item and the task related to that.
Now, how can I relate the workitem and the task to the Rule assigend to the activity as I have to run the report and I cannot go manually to find that.
Please help....
Warm regards.
Abhijit.

All PRs that are created need to undergo a release process which typicaly is an approval process.
--a Requisition is sent for release once it is created.
-- level of approvers will be determined thru release strategy.
--each level wil b associated with a code which determines position of the approver.
--each level wil hav the option of either approving of rejecting the perticular object.
--for all levels mail wil be sent.
now my problem begins at step 2 above.how to determine the level of approvers. what do i need to know to determine this ? is there some standard rule or function module or some method of doing this??... quick help will be highly appreciated!!!

hi prema ,
functional part.
for each stratergy , the relese code should be asigned.
for each release code , position should be assigned.
Technical part,
once the purchase requisition is released , u vil get the release stratergy.
from the release stratergy , u can get the position , to whom the workitem should go.
It vil not all the 8th approvers will release the purchase requsition .
it will be like , user decision send to each approves , for accepting or rejecting the requistion (after the purchase requistion is released).

What is a WF_Initiator and Agent (USER)..?

Hi All,
I am very new to workflow and getting cofused over the Agent and Workflow Initiator determination in the task and activities and all the scenarios.........
Can anyone please explain me these differences between.
I have gone thru the help files but cant get any idea...may b i m missing somthing...
Please let me know if there are any help files available to understand this.
Thanks,
Sagar@MM

WF Initiator is the one who starts the workflow, and Agent is the one who recevies the workitem and have the authorization to execute the workitem.
Suppose let us consider a case like we have 2 users USRA and USRB
USRA -
Starts the workflowor triggers the workflow then WFInitiator will have the user name USUSRA and let us assume that whem ever a leave is applied so your leave request should go to your manager for approvale let the manager be USRB, Now USRB will be the agent

How to update agent list after triggering workflow?

Hi Guys,
Is there any function module to update the agent list after triggering the workflow? i mean after triggering workflow, the user is maintaining some approving officers in their table and they are expecting the workflow should route the workitem to those newly maintained approving officers. So can any one help me to solve this issue.
Regards,
Safiq

if any agent maintained in the customized table, how can I update
those agent with existing available agent list.
It sounds like updating the existing workitem container with the new updated values. right? You mean to say initially workflow is triggered and the agent list is populated in the workflow container. But after the workflow is triggered if the table is updated with some new entries, then these new entries must alos be included in the agent list container element in the workflow container.
If this is the case the you have to modify the multiline container element of the workitem container. You can make use of the standard function module SAP_WAPI_WRITE_CONTAINER but this function module needs to be called each time when evenr a new entry is created and you have to check what are all the workitems that you want to update ,
I think its a bit difficult to update all the workitems which are with reagrd to this scenario.. so you have to check out some other simple way. But on a whole what I can say is you can update an existing workitem container by using the FM mentioned above...

RFQ Workflow: Agent assignment

Dear All,
We are working on the Release RFQ workflow.
Per my understanding, the IMG settings determine the users/OUs who should be receiving mails
to release the RFQ. This multilevel approval is in place.
Now, I have created an RFQ, this triggered the workflow, but there is an error in the release activity.
The error says "Purchase reqn number is not found".
Do we need to explicitly mention the release rule 20000030 in the agent assignment section
of the workflow? Why does the error abt purchase reqn appear?
Does it look if the RFQ is created w.r.t Purchase reqn?
As this is both MM/workflow related doubt, Iam posting it in both the forums
Please help me.
Thanks,
nsp.

Thanks for your response.
These steps are already taken care of.
Now, what I have done is, I have created an RFQ with reference to a purchase requisition. In SWEL, I see workflow WS20000080 triggered. But I get an error saying "Element purchase order is not available in the container. Error in resolution of rule 'AC20000030' for step. Agent determination failed"
Can you advise me? Why does it look for purchase order ?
Thanks,

Agent assignment to workflow task

Hi all,
1) I have assigned a workflow(sub workflow) in a activity step in main workflow and assigned workflow task no ws99900258 in that step.i have tried to assign agents as general task.
i couldn't do it.its showing that please place the cursor..some thing.
Kindly let me know how to assign to a workflowid.
2) in another workflow i am facing the problem is "mandatory import element(workflow container object(z_plm_sbc) is not explicitly provided".
Kindly let me know how to rectify this error.
Regards,
Ramesh.

Hi Ramesh,
1. Open the workflow ws99900258 in tcode PFTC,
     Menu options -- > additional data-->agent assignment --> maintain --> select your workflow (this is where you are missing)
     click on "atttributes' buttone..
     Make it as general.
2. In your workflow some of the elements are mandatory, pass the required value into that element.
This is you have to mention in the Binding ..

Workflow agent assignment in Production system

Hello Sap Gurus,
Is there a way to maintain harcoded agents(not a general task..but putting in a user's name) on the tasks in the SAP production system without going to Change mode.
I know we can do it for the Workflow templates in Dispaly mode but for the tasks, it wouldn't let us do without being in Change mode.
Any suggestions is appreciated
Thanks

Hi Rachana,
The agent assignment of a task is a PD infotype and therefore the question is do you have the authorisation do maintain in production?
From what you have described, the short answer appears to be no. But a longer answer is that, with sufficient access, you can open a workitem in change mode and forward to a new agent after using the Replace Manually option.
Another option would be to go in throught the diagnosis tolls (SWUD) and use the option test environment. You will see the steps of your workflow at the bottom of the page. If there is a red football shaped object - this is agent assignment - you can click to maintain the assignments.
A better question is why maintain by user ID here as it is a pain to maintain.

Agent Assignment in Workflow

If anyone had worked on customizing the WF for Changed Sub profile, WS1200124, please tell me how to configure the role for the standard task: 1200191, Abbreviation: PDVDispProfi .
I need to use this task for two purposes, one to show to the owner of the profile and second to the manager of the owner of the profile.
I tried giving the rules 01200025 for Employee and 01200024 for the manager in agent assignment for the tasks, but the workflow hangs at these tasks.
If I hardcode the agent to some user, it works fine.
Any suggestion on what would have gone wrong?
Is something to be activated at the rule level?
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Mikko,
I work on ECC5 system.
Your answer solves half of my issue.
I assign an Expression with &EMPLOYEE& as the agent to task and this sends the mail to the employee.
the Work Item Subject says "Your Dev. Profile has been change".
Now, I also need to send the same mail to the supervisor of the employee.
Here, The workitem text should be "Dev. Profile has been changed for the Employee<b> XYZ</b>".
So, I cloned the task TS01200191 to TS900001,
changed the text accordingly and
created a container element "PERSON"
inserted this element as a variable in the text.
I need to pass this PERSON to the task in the binding from workflow.
This PERSON should be created in the workflow container and filled.
Please confirm if this procedure works or if there is a better one.
Thanks.
