Including Adhoc Objects in Workflow Item

Hi,
We have a process where we an External program that is creating IDocs for us and we have a Z FM to process this IDoc. If during processing within the FM the process dodnot complete we are raising a Workflow Event ( Z - Business Object ) that sends notification to a SAP users Inbox.
We need to link the Originating IDoc linked as a OBJECT in the workflow notification item.
Can I use Adhoc Objects and How do i use it. I have already created a container element referring to Object Type BO - IDOCAPPL. What i am not able to do is how to get the values populated in this element. Are there special function modules available to populate Adhoc Objects.
Has anyone used the adhoc objects. Or point me to some sample proram that use these.
Regards,
Arunava

Solved by self.
1. Create a variable for the object reference. Use the following command to do this:
DATA <Object> TYPE SWC_OBJECT.
2. Create the object reference. Use the following command to do this:
SWC_CREATE_OBJECT <Object> <ObjectType> <ObjectKey>.
3. Write the object reference into the container using the following macro instruction:
SWC_SET_ELEMENT <Container> <ContainerElement> <Object>.

How to get the objects from a workflow item's container

Dear all,
We need to get the value of a variable in the container of a workflow item. I can get the workflow item list using function module SAP_WAPI_CREATE_WORKLIST. Then how can I get the corresponding container elements' value?
I tried function mofule SAP_WAPI_GET_OBJECTS, but the returned table OBJECTS and OBJECTS_2 are both empty.
Thanks + Best Regards

Hi,
Well, I think you will be getting the value as BORNAME:BORKEY. Get the KEYVALUE into your local variable. And use the <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/c5/e4acef453d11d189430000e829fbbd/frameset.htm">BOR Macros</a> to get the instance and desired contents.

2) I am getting the value for Pointof Delivery in the step-2 of my workflow.
3) Now I want to create a instance for the Business Object using this key field value in my Workflow at runtime and use the instance in the following steps.
How can I do this ???

Hi Ravi,
Thanks for the solution...
There is also a wizard that will generate an activity to do this. We have to just go to Wizards->Include "Create Object Reference" which will create the task with the BO & Method referred by you.

Generic Object Servises- Workflow overview

Hi,
In Me53n transacrion, when I am selecting the Workflow-> workflow overview from Generic Object Services(this icon appears in the left where 'Display Purchase Req. XXXXX' appears ).
I get a message saying "There are no workflows that have already worked with this object", even though the workflow has trigged and work item has been created in SAP Business Work Place for the PR. Please let me know what is to be done so that it shows the workflow log for the object.
Regard,
Shweta

Hi,
This feature is working if the worflow has trigged from BUS2105-RELEASESTEPCREATED, but not working if the worflow is trigged from ZBUS2105-ZCHANGE(ZBUS2105 is subtype and zchange is custome event ).
I have created an entry for this Subtype ZBUS2105 and custom event ZCHANGE SWEC transaction so that the worflow will trigger when PR is saved after being held. I have also set the "Delegate" for ZBUS2105 in transaction SW01 to BUS2105 . This is working fine, but the problem is if the workflow trigger by this custom event then GOS->Workflow->Workflow Overview does not show this workflow item in the overview.
Please tell me what is to be done...

SC in Awating Approval satus but No workflow item found

Hi Experts.
We are using SRM 5.0 and have found this strange problem where a SC is awaiting approval status but there is no workflow item generated when we check for the sc in bbp_pd.
We tried to check in swi1 for workflow item id for that particular but are not able to see this SC.
What could be the reason where the workflow is not started since in our case once the sc is created workflow gets started automtically in this case that has not happend.
we ran the clean_req_req_up job and bbp_get_status_2 for this sc but no help
Any help in this regards will be highly appreciated
Regards
Vidya

Hi Ricardo,
Thanks for your response As suggested we did check for the SC in SWI6 but we get a messge " there are No workflows that have already worked with this object type"
Since our SC have approvals in line will restart of workflow trigger the approval or will t get auto=approved,since in a few cases when we retriggered the workflow teh approvals were never called and the SC were auto-approved.
There are more than 10sc which have stuck in thsi kind of situtation
we also had a SP patch upgradtion,cld this have been caused because of SP upgradation?

Adhoc object opened in wrong format

Hi Guys,
One of the users reported a problem that when opening an adhoc object from SBWP, it opens a MS Word file conversion dialogue. The adhoc object is an archived image that is a PDF file on an IXOS repository.
The users says that the first time he opened an archived image the system asked what format it is and he chose DOC. Since then when she tries to open an archived PDF from workflow, it opens with Word, pops up the file conversion dialogue and regardless what she chooses, displays the file in Word and of course it's unreadable.
The user also says thet she can open PDF files on her PC without a problem.
Other users can display PDF images from WF w/o problem, so the frontend comminication customizing seems fine. So I wonder whether there is any user related setting in SAP that controls what application opens a certain file type.
Thanks,
Krisz

Please try using the Settings->Office settings of the user Business Workplace and remove the default class of DOC to PDF.

WORKFLOW ITEM forward

Hello All,
When I am trying to forward workflow item using SWIA , I am getting the message like " WS is not a valid object type for a task".
It's in statuts "STARTED" and AGENT is "SAP WORKFLOW".
How can I forward this item to user as workflow administrator.
Regards,
Lavanya.

Hi,
Please follow the below steps........
1. If you have the workflow instance number
Oepn table SWWWIHEAD through tcode se11/se12/se16
Enter the instance number in field TOP_WI_ID and execute.
You will find there are multiple woritem there.
Get the workitem whrere WI_TYPE is 'W'.
That is the dialog workitem of that workflow. ( There may be the multiple dialog workitem as per the workflow design )
Now forward the dialog workitem through SWIA
2. If you hav woritem number which is not wokflow instance number
Open table SWWWIHEAD through tcode se11/se12/se16
Enter the instance number in field WI_ID and execute.
You will get the worklow instance number in field TOP_WI_ID.
Now get the top wokitem id adn open table SWWWIHEAD through tcode se11/se12/se16
Enter the instance number in field TOP_WI_ID and execute.
You will find there are multiple woritem there.
Get the workitem whrere WI_TYPE is 'W'.
That is the dialog workitem of that workflow. ( There may be the multiple dialog workitem as per the workflow design )
Now forward the dialog workitem through SWIA
Hoping that this will help you to fix your problem.

Need to include invoice note in workflow email notification

Hi,
I need to include the notes entered by user in invoice notes tab while parking the invoice
when the workflow is triggered , workitem is created for the purchase personnel and the email notification for his workitem should contain the text written by the finance person in notes tab of the invoice while parking the document
I found out the table where the name of this text for the invoice is stored. Its STXH. The text name is invoice number and fiscal year
I created workflow element invoicetext and concatenated invoice number and fiscal year in it and passed it to the task of the workitem.
I put the following statement in the description of the workitem as per the entries in table STXH.
/: INCLUDE &INVOICENOTE& OBJECT RBKP ID 0001
but the text is not showingup in the description of the task when the workflow is instantiated. I also checked the funcion module READ_TEXT, all parameters are correct.
Could you please advice me what could be the problem ?
thanks
R

Hello Rita,
Prior to the Mail step, use an activity step in workflow by calling a method.. in that method use READ_TEXT and get the required value into a container element and pass it back to Workflow, then you will be able to use INCLUDE to add that container element to your body of the mail.
Try the above process and if not we can look for other options.
Thanks,
Sudhir.

Need to deactivate task that generates workflow items not needed anymore

Hi,
Some users are currently getting workflow items with the error message: "Header del.date/Qty different than line item;..." for inbound orders. The users don't want to receive this error message anymore on their inboxes.
I found out this error message is generated by the TS90100001. How can I find out if this task only generates this error message or if it is used to something else? And also, if this is the case, how can I deactivate this task?
Thanks!
Andrea

Hi,
I don't have access to TCode SWE2, if you think it would be useful for me, I'll request the access.
I entered to see what the task does and found out the name of it which is: Order Change after post processing error.
Object Category: BO BOR Object Type
Object Type: ZBUS2032
Method: CHANGE
Not familiar with this sorry
Thanks,

Are there user exits after Workflow items being created

Hi all:
Here is my situation, I want to create a change document object on table SWWWIHEAD, which is the table of workflow items. Whenever a workitem is created, I want to send the information of this item to an webservice outside of ECC.
The first thing come to my thought is the change document, and use the change document to link with an event. But we need to find the place to insert the code of call the function *WRITE_DOCUMENT generated by change document. Are there any one know if there are user exits that I can insert the code after a work item being created or updated?

GRC AC v10 SPM WF - Workflow Item not showing up in WF Inbox

GRC AC v10 - SP12
The outlook email notification for the Workflow Item goes out, but there is nothing in the NWBC Inbox for the WF Item. Subsitution is setup correctly.
Any ideas?
-john

Hi John
this is probably be a silly question but what substitution did you set up for ZFF_CTL_01? I assume the item is in that user's inbox. Which user is meant to be receiving?
I also noticed this KB article (1589130) which mentions the delegated person needs GRAC_REQ authorisation. Have you checked if security access issue?
There was also mention that the delegated approver does not appear in the MSMP instance runtime (your screen shot suggests same situation unless you have not set up the delegation). SP14 delivers the fix or refer to 1915928 - UAM: Delegated Approver is not visible in the Instance status
Possibly have a look at both of them to see if they resolve your issue.

Delete Workflow items from workflow inbox.

Hello All,
We are using workflow in MSS for Compensation Management. As part of this an email will be sent to the managers when a compensation needs an approval. There are some workflow items under workflow inbox ( SBWP ) . How can I delete emails which I don't want to execute. I don't see any delete button. I can see delete buttons for the documents under inbox, but these emails that I want to delete are under workflow in Inbox.
Thanks a lot for your help and points will be rewarded for any helpful solution.
Thanks,
Chakri.

Thank You Suresh,
You are refering to the emails in the inbox ( SBWP ) where I can delete my emails with the help of a delete button. But I am referring to the workflow items that are present under INBOX -> WORKFLOW. There is no delete button on these workflow items. If we execute these workflow items then they will be deleted automatically. I am looking for a solution by which I can delete (clean up) all the workflow items that are not executed from last year so that we can be ready for our compensation for this year.
Thanks,
Chakri.
