How does workflow retrieve users under an org. unit when sending email

Dear All:
Workflow supports sending email activity where you can specify the receipt type and receipt ID. For example, the email is supposed to send to the users within an organizational unit.
I am just wondering how SAP workflow determines the users within an organizational unit? Does it use HR-ORG evaluation path to get objects under an org. unit?
Many Thanks in advance!

Hi,
For example, the email is supposed to send to the users
within an organizational unit.
Yes workflow template and standard task are also part of organizational unit. As you mentioned that the if the recipient type is choosen as Organizational Object then the workflow system will try to fetch the data from the organizational unit based on the recipient ID you provided in the mail step let say if you are using the recipient id as position Id then workflow system will try to get the data from the organizational unit
Org object types supported by the workflow system are US, C, S, O....
If at all the you choose the workflow recipient type as email address which can be a external address then in that case it just simply makes use of BCS communication methods and and in this case your SCOT settings must be configured properly.
The difference between the first and second  is, in the first case the work items or mails/documents will be sent to sap inbox (SBWP) in the second case it depends on the mail ID you mention for example a outlook mail ID.

  • How does workflow retrieve users under position/job when sending email

    Dear All:
    This question is after my thread before: 'How does workflow retrieve users under an org. unit when sending email", my further question would be how to get users under a position/job.
    I find the evaluation path 'WF_ORGUS' that is delivered by SAP, and I am wondering whether it will cover all my cases: to retrieve users under an org. type including org. unit, position and job.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hello,
    Okay, I misunderstood. You don't get to specify the evaluation path - if you fill in a Position then SAP fetches the users in that position. It works, so I haven't thought about it any further. Any reason you want to know exactly how it is done?

  • EBP Security -  Users under single org unit

    Hi All,
    My Client has a question on EBP Security and I want you experts to help me in this regard, as I did not work on it before.
    Initial screen of transaction code USERS_GEN, its better says to limit number of users under a single Organizational Unit to 200, just to avoid performance issues.  (EBP Version 4.0)
      Right now my client has over 300 users under a single Organizational Unit and they are planning to add more. They want to find out, what potential problems or performance issues can be expected if, they go beyond 200.
    Thanks in advance.
    MK

    There is no performance involved in the number of users sharing the same org unit.
    The number of different Org Objects  in a single role make an impact on performance, but can be ignored.
    What has an impact is the number of Org units you want to segregate on as it will impact the number of role variants to create and maintain, this is not a system performance issue, but a personnel/cost issue!

  • Not able to view reports by users under top org unit- Interactive Reports

    HI,
    We are using CRM interactive reports.
    In my project the client is having 3 Sales Org with two sales office and two sales group for each office respectively.
    When the document is created by the  sales Executiv, he and his manager is able to see it in the reports but the top person of that org unit is not able to see  the report.

    Dear Luke,
    I am not able to see that navigation icons within an org chart box - The org unit that is displayed on clicking the orgchart does have branches in SAP but i am not able to see these navigation icons that lead me to these branches.
    Is there any specific step that needs to be done to see these branches.
    By the way what is the log file you are refering to is it the "PresentationResources.xml " or is it any other log file.

  • How to get all users under an organizations?

    Hello everyone.
    Just want to know if anyone knows how to get all users under a particular organization.
    From the Search User form, I found they may kind of user such attribute conditions:
    MemberObjectGroup
    is in
    XXXX(organization)
    But unfortunately, the "is in" is not a valid AttributeConditionOperator, so besides using "recursive" self-written function, anyone knows any possible buit-in trick?

    Here is my solution:

  • How to find users logged on Org Unit

    Hi All,
    We are setting up printing on our CRM 5.0 system (Web interaction centre) and was wondering if anyone knows of a way to find out what Org unit the users is logged on as ??
    We are using Actions to print specific smartforms off for the users and need the prints to go to an assigned printer.. We are hoping to use a printer that is assigned to the 'Default Printer' attribute in the org structure (PPOMA_BBP)
    As you will be aware users can be in many positions (under the org units) in the org structure and when we log onto the Web IC we get the option of which one we would like to use... Is there a function that can read this Org unit so we can use it in the printer determination BADI to decide what printer the prints will go to ???
    Many Thanks
    Gaz

    In case anyone is still looking for this solution, here is how:

      lr_usett = cl_crm_ui_user_cb=>get_instance( ).
      call method lr_usett->get_org_object
        importing
          ev_org_objid   = lv_objid
          ev_org_objtype = lv_otype.

  • Retrieving Positions for Specific Org Units

    Hi All,
    I have a headcount report to develop. It will run for one personnel area at a time. So for the period run, I have to list out all the org units under the personnel area as well as the sub org units. For each of the org units I have to separate positions under them into two group - total of positions with holders and non-holders.
    I am using the function RH_STRUC_GET by passing org unit to retrieve positions. May I know which result table to read in order to get positions and how to segregate them into 'With Holders' and 'Non-Holders'?
    And also how to get the relation ship between org units because I need to display that in the report also.
    Thank you in advance

  • Unassign users from a Org unit and reassign to another org unit

    Hello Friends,
    There are users in my org who are already assinged to a org unit through USERS_GEN transaction (from SU01 users) and are creating shopping carts for the past four months without any issue.
    Now there is a requirement to assign few of the users to another org unit.
    I have created that org unit but not sure how to reassign it to a new org unit.
    I am new to SRM. Any help will be appreciated.

    Hi Dihsa,
    Thanks for the fast reply.
    In that link it has been mentioned that users can be unassigned from a org unit through USERS_GEN txn or drag and drop.
    I already unassigned a user by clicking on delete assignment in PPOSA_BBP. While I am trying to reassign the user through USERS_GEN to new org unit, I am getting the error: Central Person for this user already exists with E BBPU_MESSAGES 042 &.
    After going through some of the threads I realized that I should not do like that for deleting a assignment.
    Also I found one thread which is telling that ....new org unit has to be selected and then by clicking on the Assign button --> Incorporates..Postion.. a user can be reassigned.
    Is it a right way to do that.... I don know how to unassign using USERS_GEN txn.
    Also it would be great if you could help me to resolve the above error.
    Please guide me.

  • Create and assign new user in SRM org struct when HR Distribution is active

    Hello experts,
    In SRM HR Distribution list is active.
    Now requirement is we want to create new user in SRM and assign it with the SRM Org structure.
    1.)Do i need to create a user in SRM and in ECC HR i mean in both the system or in ECC-HR only.?
    2.)When user is there in ECC-HR system then how i can assign user to SRM Org structure. Is there any FM or Standarrd Program ?
    Thanks!!
    Sunny

    Hello Sunny,
    As you mentioned HR distribution is active hence you need to create the user in ECC environment and assign it to the org. structure in ECC.
    Again there would be few user which you would create in SRM evironment and those would be administator specific.
    Activating pointers for HRMD_ABA message allows to replicate all changes made to the organizational structure in HR to SRM.
    Changes in HR structure include modifications (add/modify/delete) in the following:
    u2022  Organizations
    u2022  Jobs
    u2022  Positions
    u2022  Employees
    A change in the relationship of any of the elements above will also be replicated to SRM. For instance, an employee changing units will be reflected in SRM.
    Pre-requisite: SU01D ID should exist prior to replicating the concerned user in SRM.
    Thanks,

  • User inconsistencies when re-assigning users to another org. unit

    Hi
    I am getting error messages whenever i re-assign a user to another org. unit. I use drag and drop. When I check the user with users_gen I get 3 different error messages. I try the repair but the repair does not work. Has anyone else experienced this problem. Does anyone know any notes that can be used to fix this?
    We are on extended classic, SRM 5.0
    Kind regards

    Deepa,
    Please check for non-inherited values.  We maintain values at the org unit level, so that when we drag/drop a user to another org unit, most to all of the values are re-inherited. You can which ones are by the inherited flag.
    See if that is your problem.
    Regards, Dean.

    Dear Mr. Toad (my all-time favorite ride at Disneyland ;-) ..
    Thanks so much for your detailed reply.. my netbook is in the bedroom, turned off.. I (so far) only use it in the evening, in the bedroom.. I've saved your response, and will try your suggestions, and let you know if they solve the problem I described. I really appreciate you taking the time to post such a detailed reply..
    I can't answer your Thunderbird "configuration" questions, because I'm in the living room, using the crap Vista laptop, on which I plan to install Thunderbird, and then take Windoze Mail out in the street and drive over it a few times.. I'll get back to you one way or the other, and let you know if your instructions solved the problem, or not..
    I don't understand why Thunderbird "out of the box", so to speak, simply doesn't forward HTML emails with embedded graphics, (like Outlook Excess, and Winblows Mail do).. without having to go through those steps. I personally HATE HTML email, but over the years, it's become more and more prevelant.. so it's a problem I must fix..
    Thanks again..

  • When sending email to pc users, recipient does not receive text in email?

    Hi
    when sending email using MAIL to pc users from 27" IMAC, recipient receives the email and attachments, but does not receive my note/text in email?
    any ideas?

    If they are using Outlook, that is likely the problem.
    There are two settings in the Edit>Attachments, Always send windows-friendly and attachments at end of message.
    Also, set the message as Plain Text (Format menu).
    Outlook has always been crappy with anything but Exchange email. They haven't fixed it in about ten years, so I wouldn't expect any changes in the future.
