Hi,
First you set your all required configuration fro release strategy(Class,Char,Rel.Group,Release Strategy ,Release Indicator )
For Work flow settings,You have to do follwoing configuration:
MM - purchasing - purchase order - release procedure - Define Release Procedure for Purchase Orders - Work flow - Enter release code, group, user ID, object type as user.
Creation of work flow object,activation of workflow and other related settings will be done by Techinical work flow consulant.

With a lock item in a purchase order, release strategy works?

Dear All,
I have a very important question for myself.
I have a purchase order with only one item.
I have set this item to locked.
Release strategy works without problems.
Is this situation correct?
I don't understand it but maybe the release strategy works normally too....
Please help me with a explanation
Thanks in advance

Yes, if a release strategy is applied to a PO, then even if you block / delete an item, it will still have the release strategy.
This is standard behaviour, because you can later remove the deletion indicator or unblock the PO, whence the PO will again have to go through the Release Procedure.

How set timeout period in work flow manager?

HI,
I am using File_Exists activity in process flows.
Its working fine.
But the problem is, if the file doesnot exist, then, I want to wait from some time, and if the file doesn't create within that time, then only, it should go for the next trasition based upon its status.
In my case, it is checking whether the file exists or not. If not, it is ending up with warinings, without waiting for certain amount of time.
Could any one help me, like how to solve this problem.
I heard that, we have to set the time out period.
Any suggestions are welcome.
Thank you,
Regards,
Gowtham Sen.

Gowtham,
There is no explicit "Timeout" function that you can set.
From the 10.2 Docs:
File Exists
Use the File Exists activity to verify the existence of a file before executing the next activity. In the Activities panel, type the name of the file.
The File Exists activity checks to see if the file exists only once. If the file exists, the process flow proceeds with the success transition. If the file does not exist, the process flow precedes with the warning transition. The File Exists activity triggers the error transition only in the case of a catastrophic failure such as TCL error when using OMB Plus.
The File Exists activity has one parameter called PATH. Specify either a fully qualified filename, directory name, or a semi-colon separated list for this parameter. The paths are normally tested in the same host that is running the Control Center service.
The security constraints of the underlying operating system may disallow access to one or more files, giving the impression that they do not exist. If all the paths exist, then the activity return EXISTS. If none of the paths exist, then it returns MISSING. If some paths exist, it returns SOME_EXIST.
So, if you are only re-checking once, then I would make a warning transition out of your file exists activity and feed it into a wait activity. This you could set for as long as you need. Then transition to another File Exists activity for the second check. The transition out from this one can then pass on the status to the rest of your process flow.
If you want to do a few waits, you would need to embed this process into something like a While Loop that you can escape by using a counter that you increment via an Assign activity after each check. When your file exists is successfull you can Assign a proper exit value to escape the loop.
Cheers,
Mike

How do we estimate the work flow development.

What are the different factors that are to be considered while developing a workflow.

Very similar to any custom development projects. For example, the complexity of the customizations, the sophistication of the process flows, the number of systems which are interacted with, any other technologies that may be required to be integrated with etc etc.

Event linakge for PO work flow not transporting to Qualty system

This is Sudhakar ,
I have a problem in Event linkage for PO Release strategy work flow.
I have created a work flow for PO release strategy and done the event linkage through SWETYPV transaction code.
I have added a new entry in SWETYPV transaction code and tick the 'Linkage Activated' check box. I have done this in development server. When I saved it prompted for a request and I have saved this Under the request( Customize request).
When I create the purchase Order for the first time the work flow is getting triggered. When I run the second time its not triggering.
If I observe the reason is 'Linkage Activated' check box is getting unchecked when I create the PO. If I check it again it is asking for a request again.But after next run the linkage is again deactivated.
Can you please help why this is happening.
I have created another request in Customize client and transported first the development client, next the customise client request. When I observe in quality system an entry is created in SWETYPV transaction code for my work flow but 'Linkage Activated' check box is not checked.
How to transport 'Linkage Activated' check box to quality.
This is an urgent one. Any body please help me
Thanks

Hi Imthiaz,
What you said is correct. Its throwing one error in event trace
Feedback after error - The message is.
The mandatory input parameters of the workflow must be set.
I think I am missing some input parameters.
One more queation, I had transported this already to Quality
But the linkage activation flag is not moved. What could be the reason.
Thanks

Hi,
First of all, if you would only like to create the new release strategies, then the only possible settings you should do are -
1)   Create the new release code;
2)   Create the new release strategy;
3)   Assign the release characteristics values to your new release strategy in CL20N transaction.
For those old PRs and POs (regardless of if they were released or pending for release), the same old release strategy remains unchanged (and therefore, you should be much careful if you wish to delete the outstanding release codes and/or release strategies through configuration). Having said that if you would like to keep the same release strategy though changes are to be made to your old purchasing documents, then you will have to assign the proper value to the "Changeability" field of your "released" release indicator.
In case of release strategy in support by workflow, basically, the workflow item will be triggered (in accordance with the pre-defined logics that you built in terms of task ID). As soon as the approver determination is made in background, the workflow item will be then sent to such agent who will then take a proper decision (approve, reject or forward).
Cheers,

Hello Hari,
please set a breakpoint at function module
ME_REL_GET_RESPONSIBLE
and see what happends in section
    CASE t16fc-frgwf.
* keine Ermittlung
      WHEN space.
        RAISE nobody_found.
* Ermittlung über T16fW
      WHEN '1'.
If using the T16FW-table, it should go to '1', otherwise it may that a user exit under '9' is used. So please check this.
