How to trigger FI Standard Workflows

Hi,
I have never worked on FI Standard Workflows . As far as I knpow there is a std WF available WS00400012 with Object type BSEG. For Vendor Down Payment Request, Vendor Payment Request Against Invoice, Vendor Down Payment Posting,Vendor Payment Posting, Vendor Invoice FI, Vendor Invoice Logistics Posting, Vendor Credit Memo, Vendor Debit Memo, Cash Payments, Asset Posting what are the Standard Workflows available and how to trigger these workflows. I have checked with SWELS but WS00400012 is not getting triggered. Is there any SPRO config required for this, POlease help me out with the solution.
THanks

Hello Munish,
As Venugopal has mentioned, you have to find the relevant BTE for the process and use it to raise an event and in turn trigger the workflow.
The following is the process to find a BTE and implementing it.
(1)Goto transction FIBF .Execute it with Attribute type = 'A' and then menu Environment->Info System (P/S ).
Choose the relevant BTE using the descriptions provided.
(2)Select the BTE you want to implement.
(3)Press button Sample function module
(4)This brings you to SE37 - Copy the sample function module to a Z-function module (First create a new function group for the function module) . Note: The name of the Z-functionmodule is not important
(5)Edit the code in the new function module
(6)Go back to transaction FIBF - Menu Settings->Products -> Of a customer and create a new product whicj identifies the new product . Remember to mark the Active field.
(7)Go back to FIBF menu Settings->P/S function modules->of a customer - Create an entry that links the BTE and Product with the new function module
Hope this will help.
Regards,
Samson

How to trigger a second workflow from a workflow?

Hi All,
          I want your guidance in deciding the process flow of a workflow to be developed.
          We have a scenario in our project where we have to develop a workflow for vendor creation/change
          done through a portal.Now we have designed to do through this 2 workflows.
          First workflow is triggered when the create/change is done in the portal and the entry is made in a
          z table.This is the trigger point of first workflow.
          First workflow will identify all approvals and store them in another z table with all the approval levels needed and the approval groups stored in the z table itself.
          Second flow will trigger on the entry made in this z table.It will read all approvals and send the mails to tha approvers in the respective aproval groups.
Now can you please verify this.Is it possible to trigger a second workflow from a workflow?
If yes then can you please explain the methodology to do the same?
Also if any other approach can be taken,please suggest the same.
Thanks a lot,
Saket.

First Develop a Z Business OBject (let ZVENDOR) to update the Z table when ever a Vendor is created or Changed.
Now For the first workflow do like this
From the WD application when the user clicks on the SAVE button then call the Function module SAP_WAPI_START_WORKFLOW .
Develop a method in the ZVENDOR to update the Z table.Make the method as background.
Use the method that you have created in the above point in the first workflow but prior to this make sure that you have passed all the required information to the workflow.
Once the table is updated.
For Second Workflow
Create a Change document object for the Ztable.
And trigger the workflow when ever any entry is made or changed in the z table

How to trigger a WLPI workflow by sending XML event

Hi,
I try to trigger a workflow in WLPI 2.1 by sending an XML Event from another application.
But I don't know where to send it and how (i.e. via JMS or not).
Any idea how to do it or where I can find helpful documentation (standard BEA
WLPI docs didn't help much on that topic)?
Regards,
Jörg

Hi,
Still, what is so specific about this ACE_DISPATCHER in CRM? Can you explain a bit more about you problem. I am quite sure that not that many people in this workflow forum is familiar with this concept.
Is there some problem in triggering the batch job itself? I still cannot see any reason why you couldn't use the check function module? If you cannot use check function module, what makes you think that some other solution would work. Eventually you will use the same code - the place where you trigger the code might be different, but it will be the same code.

How to trigger standard task manually in Process controlled workflow?

Hi All,
I would like to trigger a task mannually in BRF, process controlled workflow. My requirement is to send an approval notification to the approvers at the current approval level, at any instance by the requestor of the shopping cart. In that case, will it be possible to trigger the standard task 40007953 (SRM Shopping Cart Approval (1)) with the workitem of Shopping cart under consideration?
I have tried searching for the same in SDN and other forums but most of the information was regarding application controlled workflows. None of those function modules seems to be working in PCW.
Any pointers on how to trigger a standard task (using FM or code) in BRF(process controlled workflow) environment is also highly appreciated.
Thanks,
S.H@ri

Hi,
Use this FM [SAP_WAPI_START_WORKFLOW|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/bb9100f8-0c01-0010-ac8e-e017351f3fc1].

How to use standard workflows in my company?

Hi Experts,
I want to know how do i use standard workflows for my company. I have searched forum, but coudn't find proper answer. I have seen some standard workflow numbers(eg.WS12300111). But when i search for them it wont works. It will pop up "Choose Workflow Template" window. When i select the module there it opens up the empty folders.
What is the meaning of this?
Can i know what do i need to do for overcome this problem?
Thanks,
Rashika.

Hello rashika ,
To differentiate between standard and custom workflows .
All custom workflows would have first three digits lying betwee 900-999 ( called prefix number range )
The number range 90000000 - 99999999 is reserved for customer developmen t and the range 00000000 - 89999999 is reserved for SAP.
Or to know precisely what exactly is the number range of custom workflows in your system , check through tcode OOW4.

How to trigger workflow from WDA and read workflow container into WDAscreen

Dear Expert,
Please suggest the solution for the following requirement:
   1. Create 1 leave request from WDA and submit for approval
   2. When User press "submit" button in WDA screen, workflow will be triggered for processing approval .
   3. When 1 request is sent to approver, he logon into portal and access to UWL to process task himself.
   4. After he press approval link, the system will call WDA screen to process approval ( this screen will contain full information of requester.)
   5. After finishing process, the result will return workflow and end of process.
Please send simple example for step 1 and one for get data from workflow into WDA screen at step4
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks and best regards,
DucTV.

Hi,
I am not sure for what reasons you are developing a application but SAP has its own standard workflow process for applying leave from ESS portal..
1. AS soon as you click on the submit button of the applicaiton then you need to trigger a workflow right in that case you make sure that you need to pass some data to the workflow container I hope you might be using either SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT or SAP_WAPI_START_WORKFLOW to start the workflow in both the function module you have to fill this table in Order to pass the values from ABAP    program to workflow container.
The answer to your question is it depends on the type of the work item ID you are passing to the SAP_WAPI_READ_CONTAINER if you are passing a top work item ID then you will have workflow container in LT_CONTAINER if you are passing any of the child or dependent work item ids of the top work item id then you have that respective task container value.
2. You can make use of the any foreground activity or a decision step, it depends on how you want to get back the result, if you use a foreground activity step then in that case you have to populate the result back to the task container and if let say you are using a decision step then in that case you do not have to populate the result there will be standard container element _RESULT in the decision step it will be filled.
Make sure if you are expecting some work item in UWL and as soon as you click on the work item your application should open then configure in SWFVISU transaction and maintain DTD in UWL any portal consultant can perform this steps in few seconds.
3. When the workflow is started then the work item which you are able to get back is the one which helps to identify dependent work item ids it is the TOP or PARENT work item ID.

How to trigger workflow from abap program

Hi Experts,
i have a user developed screen in which there is an option to approve (not a std tcode)
for which there is no event created.
i am very new to workflow ,
now how to create an event and also how to trigger the workflow

Hi,
You can run a ABAP report or call a transaction from the BOR's Method directly.
Check this link for more info.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/80/9a3cb3971c11d194c60000e82dec10/frameset.htm.
In order to trigger an event programmatically, we would use the function module SWE_EVENT_CREATE.
BUS1001006 ( Standard Material )
here is the sample code.
DATA: key LIKE sweinstcou-objkey.
key = '68." Material Number (hard-coded)
CALL FUNCTION 'SWE_EVENT_CREATE'
EXPORTING
objtype = 'BUS1001006'
objkey = key
event = 'CREATED'
CREATOR = ' '
TAKE_WORKITEM_REQUESTER = ' '
START_WITH_DELAY = ' '
START_RECFB_SYNCHRON = ' '
NO_COMMIT_FOR_QUEUE = ' '
DEBUG_FLAG = ' '
NO_LOGGING = ' '
IDENT =
IMPORTING
EVENT_ID =
TABLES
EVENT_CONTAINER =
EXCEPTIONS
OBJTYPE_NOT_FOUND = 1
OTHERS = 2
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
MESSAGE ID sy-msgid TYPE sy-msgty NUMBER sy-msgno
WITH sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.
ELSE.
WRITE 'Event Triggered'.
ENDIF.
COMMIT WORK.
In order to test whether the event is getting triggered or not, we can make use of Event Trace. Switch on the event trace using the transaction SWELS.
Press Switch On.
Now execute the program developed earlier. Now switch-off the event trace using the same transaction SWELS.
Now go to transaction SWEL. Here you can list out the events triggered in the particular period of time. Here is the event-trace list:

How to trigger a workflow using generic object services?

Hi Experts,
Let me know on how to trigger a workflow using generic object services.
My requirement is to trigger the FI document reversal document using Object services.
Any info or docs relevant to this, please share with me..
Thanks,
Dinesh.

Dinesh,
First of you need to check if the transaction has a BO (in released status) published to use the GOS.
These are the pre-requisites for GOS
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/en/94/aa532cddd511d289860000e8216438/content.htm
Once done.. check that you have valid workflow linkages active for this BO.
Now when you click on the 'start workflow' the system will show all relevant workflows for the BO to choose from and to start.

HOW TO TRIGGER AN WORKFLOW FROM A PROGRAM ?

HELLO THERE ,
CAN ANYBODY PLZ TELL ME HOW TO TRIGGER AN WORKFLOW FROM AN PROGRAM AND TO PAS THE VALUE TO THE CONTAINER ?

Hello Neon,
If you want to trigger the workflow directly, use the FM, SWU_START_WORKFLOW
CALL FUNCTION 'SWU_START_WORKFLOW'
EXPORTING
 task =
* LANGUAGE = SY-LANGU
 user =
* SENDER_ID =
* IMPORTING
* RETURN_CODE =
* WORKITEM_ID =
tables
* CONTAINER =
* MESSAGE_LINES =
 attachment_list =
A workflow can also be triggered by and event which is in turn triggered by a program.
By the FM, SWE_CREATE_EVENT
Example:
w_key = 'Connie'.
w_creator-otype = 'US'.
w_creator-objid = 'SAPDEV02'.
CALL FUNCTION 'SWE_EVENT_CREATE'
 EXPORTING
 objtype = 'YH_BUDDIES'
 objkey = w_key
 event = 'event'
 creator = w_creator
* TAKE_WORKITEM_REQUESTER = ' '
* START_WITH_DELAY = ' '
* START_RECFB_SYNCHRON = ' '
* NO_COMMIT_FOR_QUEUE = ' '
* DEBUG_FLAG = ' '
* NO_LOGGING = ' '
* IDENT =
* IMPORTING
* EVENT_ID =
* TABLES
* EVENT_CONTAINER =
 EXCEPTIONS
 objtype_not_found = 1
 OTHERS = 2
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
 MESSAGE ID sy-msgid TYPE sy-msgty NUMBER sy-msgno
 WITH sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.
ELSE.
 WRITE: / 'EVENT TRIGGERED'.
ENDIF.
COMMIT WORK.
Hope it helps you.
