'In Preparation' status of workitem

Hi all..
I have a workitem with status 'in preparation'...what should i check for this..
I have checked the binding
I have checked the import/export propert of elements involved in binding
I have checked that the value is set to the export parameters
I have checked the method in SWO1,its working fine there..
Now i am testing workflow in SWUS and the first step is in status 'in process'.what should i do...?
Thanks and regards,
Jhansi

Hi.
SAP online help says the following about the status 'in preparation':
"The work item has been created, but the condition defined for starting the work item has not yet been fulfilled. Work items in this status are not displayed in the workflow inbox."
Maybe you should check the condition in SWB_COND.
Or is there a condition in the condition tab of the work item?
Kind regards.

Call of duty aw pre order still in "preparing" status

My online pre order for the call of duty advanced warfare atlas pro edition has been in "preparing" status for quite some time now and the game was released today. I'm wondering if this is just an issue with the system or is the game back ordered? I selected the standard shipping but I figured since it was released today that it would have at least been shipped.

Hi hmdg187,
Thanks for reserving your copy of Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare with us! I can imagine how anxious you must feel to start playing.
I've had the chance to review your account and it looks like your Atlas Pro edition was shipped earlier today. When you can, I'd encourage you to check both your inbox and junk mail folders for a confirmation message with tracking details. Please also keep in mind that the tracking number may not be recognized by UPS' website site immediately -- it can sometimes take 24 hours for updates to be available.
Let us know if you need assistance with any other issues.

Workflow in 'In Preparation ' Status

Hi All,
          I have a worklfow triggered and it is in 'IN PREPARATION' Status for more than 1 day.
The status is in preparation 'SET CQM Document status step.
since i am new to workflow, i dont know why this status has come. how to move further. it is not going to error also. I checked SWPR and SWPC.
I checked the BOR , it is a custom BOR
CALL METHOD zcl_workflow_utilities=>set_cqm_appr_wf_flag
EXPORTING
    iv_run_from_cqm_wf = 'X'.
CALL FUNCTION 'Z_CQM_UPDATE_STATUS'
EXPORTING
    iv_process_type = lv_process_type
    iv_approval_step = lv_approval_step
    iv_header_guid   = lv_header_guid
    it_items         = lt_items
IMPORTING
    et_return        = lt_return
    ev_message       = lv_message
EXCEPTIONS
    error_occurred   = 01
    document_locked = 02
    OTHERS           = 03.
can anyone throw some inputs.
Thanks a lot

Hi,
Maybe it is how it has been designed to work? The work item stays in the preparation status until a condition is met:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/8d/25f336454311d189430000e829fbbd/content.htm
Now it is impossible to say without seeing your workflow that what is this condition. The code that you posted hardly has nothing to do with the problem, and even if it has, we cannot help, since we don't know what is inside these Z-objects that are being called from the code.

Change status of workitem in his method (ABAP OO)

Hello!
I have class Z_TTT with implementation IF_WORKFLOW. And I have method DISPLAY of this class.
This method executing in task.
How can I change status of this task inside method DISPLAY thus task not to be completed after executing.
(In BOR I could use SAP_WAPI_SET_WORKITEM_STATUS (to ready) and then exit_cancelled.)
How in ABAP OO?

Thanks a million. Didn't know that I'll edit my post, that it's more correct.
In the method definition you declare the Exception class CX_BO_ACTION_CANCELLED to be thrown.
In the method coding you use the following statement to raise the exception.
RAISE EXCEPTION TYPE cx_bo_Action_Cancelled.

Resetting the status of a completed workitem? I think it is not possible , because you can reset the status of a workitem which is in in process state to ready state or the workitem which is in error state( May be not sure) but the status of completed workitem , not possible, because the workitem will not be in any of the users inbox.
But will let you know , if there is any possiblity
Check this error when I tried to reset the status of workitem which is completed by using the FM
SAP_WAPI_SET_WORKITEM_STATUS
Status change from COMPLETED to READY is not allowed/possible

Workitem in status ready

Dear Experts,
I have a workitem (activity step) in status ready. I have bind a webdynpro java application for this in SWFVISU tcode. So once user clicks workitem from portal dynpro java application will open. But workitem in R/3 remains in status ready even after user clicks submit from the java application. So on action submit I need to complete that workitem. Is there any FM to complete a workitem which is in status ready. This workitem is from a task of activity step. This is just a dummy workitem that is I have given a BO method inside it that does not have any code. I use this to start the dynpro java appln alone.
First i will be using sap_Wapi_write_container FM. Then I will complete the workitem. Then using sap_wapi_read_container I will read the written values. If i use sap_wapi_workitem_complete FM then the written values change back to old values again.

Dear All,
Thanks a lot for your replies. I have solved the problem. First I set the status of workitem to started and then completed it. Please find the code below.
CALL FUNCTION 'SAP_WAPI_SET_WORKITEM_STATUS'
EXPORTING
workitem_id = lv_wi_id     " workitem id
status = 'STARTED'
USER = SY-UNAME
LANGUAGE = SY-LANGU
DO_COMMIT = 'X'.
CALL FUNCTION 'SAP_WAPI_DECISION_COMPLETE'
EXPORTING
workitem_id = lv_wi_id     " workitem id

USER = SY-UNAME
decision_key = '0001'

DMS-Status-In preparation by default

Hi guys,
I have one requirement from the client
Iam maintaining different statuses like
In preparation
Client Approval
Released
While creating the document system promts to enetr the status,is it possible to maintain In preparation as default status to start with?If so pls tell me the necessary setting to be done
Thanks,
Vijai

Hi Vijai,
therefore SAP supports different status types. So I would suggest to set in TA DC10 for status 'in preparation' status type P (primary status, see below) and to define 'in preparation' as previous document status for 'Client approval'.
Best regards, Daniel
Document status type:
Key which represents the features of a document status.
Use
There is not usually an entry for the status type.
If you want to represent special features of status, you can choose from the following status types:
Initial status (I)
This status is set when a new document is created and can be linked into a cycle. This means that the document can be given this status again at a later point in time.
Primary status (P)
This status is only set when a new document is created. It cannot be set at a subsequent stage of processing.
Locked status (S)
Most of the data in the document info record can no longer be changed.
Temporary status (T)
This status is used to log events, for example, an interim printout can be logged.
The current status of the document is not changed.
The system sets the following stuses automatically:
Original in work (O)
The system sets this status when you choose Original applicationfile -> Change.
The system makes the following checks:
Is the user authorized to use the function?
Is there a status with status type O for the document type?
If this is the case, the system carries out all the necessary checks for the status network (such as checking the previous status).
If the system checks determine that this status is not allowed, you cannot process the document.
Archive status (A)
The system sets this status when you choose Archive -> Check into archive.
The system makes the same checks as for status type "O".
If the status cannot be set, the document cannot be archived.
Check-in status (C)
The system sets this status all original application files of document info are in a secure storage area.

NO, NO, NO!!!!
Please do NOT access tables directly unless you know what you're doing because these change - that one is one example of a table that has changed over the versions. SAP_WAPI_WORKITEMS_TO_OBJECT will give you the same info in a manner that is supported by SAP.
Next, before developing a report, are you aware of the standard functions? Most sites I've worked on users are happy to look at the log from within the PO using the object services button. Alternatively there's tx SWI6 - the only ugly thing is that you'll need to teach folk to put in BUS2012, but that can also be worked around.

Regarding the change status of leave workflow.

hi friends,
i have copied the standard leave worklfow "WS12300111" and customized it just to meet our requirement means for multiple approvers.
everything is working fine in production means if user ID "AIHR01' raise a leave request the workitem will go to "AIHR02" after his approving the workitem will go to the final approver means "AIHR03" after his approval the leave request will be completed and the status in the TC - PTARQ is coming as "APPROVED" means only after the approving of "AIHR03" the status is coming "APPROVED" but in some cases when user id "AIHR02" is approved instead of coming status "SENT" it is coming "APPROVED" in TC-PTARQ and because of this status the workitem is coming blank in UWL of "AIHR03".
I have already incorporated the given below method in the "WORKFLOW" just to change the status from "APPROVED" to "SENT" after the approval of user ID "AIHR02" but in some cases it is not working fine it is giving BUG.

Disabled sub-status in appraisal form customizing

Dear all,
maybe someone could help me with following issue.
I'm customizing a personnel appraisal form using PHAP_CATALOG including several statuses. In order to complete status customizing, I need to activate all sub-statuses of "In Preparation", but all these checkboxes in tab "Status Flow" are disabled.
I already added these new statuses to the category group, so they are definitely available, but I don not understand, why I can not select them.
Does anyone have an idea about this? Are there any requirements to have "In Preparation" sub-statuses active?
Thanks a lot!
Tobias

Hi Tobias,
Apologies for the delay in replying.
What you can do is:
1. Create one substatus for "In Planning" as "Supervisor Input"
2. Once the phap_prepare or BDC is run and all appraisal templates are attached to employees, as per your status flow templates will be in "In Preparation" status. You need not have any pushbuttons created for this status.
3. Now using PHAP_ADMIN_PA transaction code (administrator's login), push all templates to next status as "In Planning" and substatus as "Supervisor Input".
4. For this you design pushbuttons which will be accessed by manager.
5. So when manager will login to portal, he will have the template available for him to take action on the same.
Please let me know in case of any clarifications.
Thanks!
Best Regards,
Chetan Shriraj Wahane

MY POSSIBLE FIX for Time Machine preparing for ages every hour

Like many others, i have had problems with Time Machines backups - ever since upgrading to 10.5.2. Every hour it would say 'preparing' for ages, and then, when it did finally backup, the data transfer was incredibly slow. Not to mention the amount of cpu usage it was using during the preparing status!
I have no idea if this is a FIX, or if i was just lucky, but Time Machine now works as it should, i.e. it backs-up seamlessly.
Anyway, this is what i did: booted from my Tiger disc (yes, even though i have Leopard) and went into its 'disc utility', from there i selected 'repair permissions'. Once the Tiger disc had completed repairing the permissions, i quit out of it and restarted my MacBook normally, i.e. not from the Tiger disc. When it had finished restarting, i went to disc utility and selected 'repair permissions'.
Ever since, TM has been just perfect. Coincidence? - i honestly do not know.
By the way, i don't know if repairing the permissions from within Leopard did anything or not, but this is the sequence i used. Plus also, it might be good to note that i had repaired permissions many a time, but with no success in fixing TM, but once doing it from the Tiger disc it fixed TM.
I hope it helps someone, because i know just how annoying it was when TM was not working correctly!

I upgraded from Tiger to Leopard, which is why i believe i have had trouble.
What is 'A&I or E&I'?

Restrict documents from being assigned to a BOM while status is not release

Hi,
I need certain documents to be restricted while they are still 'In preparation' status.
Currently eventhough the status is not released, user can assign a document to a BOM.
I am sure i am missing something. Let me know if anyone has done this. We are not using ECM at this stage.
Regards,
Edi

Hi,
You can do this via workaround of authorization matrix.
1. Create two users: Creator, Approver & Assigner
2. Creator will not have authorization to release the document as well as to assign the document to BOM. Authorization to release the document can be prevented by authorization object C_DRAW_STA. The authorization of object linkage is controlled by object C_DRAD_OBJ
3. Approver will have authorization to release the document.
4. finally assigner will have only document to access the change document when it is released and only then he/she will be able to assign the object linkage.
Or you can go for BASi/User exit at the time of save to control the same.
Thanks
