Integration of work flow and activities within TMS while setting up CHaRM

Hi,
While setting up CHaRM,
After the TMS being setup, activating CTS in project and while in edit maintenance cycle.
How do we set for the status to activities, eg: 'Approve to Production' status in CHaRM workflow with the corresponding approval procedure&import to production?
Your answer will be very helpful.
Thanks and Regards,
Jamuna Nithyanandam

Hi.
I do not really understand your requirement.
You did create a SMI project, activated ChaRM for that project and created a maintenance cycle and task list.
After the maintenance cycle has been activated you need to unlock the tasks/groups.
Now start creating change documents which contain the workflow (for instance "normal corrections" of type SDMJ). You do this either manually or via a change request.
Import into production is possible in phase "GoLive" only.

    Hi,
    Workflow:
    Purpose
    SAP Business Workflow can be used to define business processes that are not yet mapped in the R/3 System. These may be simple release or approval procedures, or more complex business processes such as creating a material master and the associated coordination of the departments involved. SAP Business Workflow is particularly suitable for situations in which work processes have to be run through repeatedly, or situations in which the business process requires the involvement of a large number of agents in a specific sequence.
    You can also use SAP Business Workflow to respond to errors and exceptions in other, existing business processes. You can start a workflow when predefined events occur, for example an event can be triggered if particular errors are found during an automatic check.
    SAP provides several workflows that map predefined business processes. These workflows do not require much implementation. For an overview of these SAP workflows, refer to  Workflow Scenarios in Applications.
    Integration
    SAP Business Workflow uses the existing transactions and functions of the R/3 System and does not change the functions. You can combine the existing functions of the R/3 System to form new business processes with SAP Business Workflow. The workflow system takes over control of the business processes. If you are already using SAP Organizational Management, you can use the organizational structure created there to have the relevant agents carry out the individual activities. It is possible to have an activity carried out by a position. This ensures that the respective occupiers of the position can carry out the individual activities during execution of the workflow. This means that personnel changes in your organization are taken into account immediately in the execution of a workflow.
    Features
    SAP Business Workflow provides a number of tools for defining and analyzing workflows as well as for monitoring operation.
    The Workflow Builder is for displaying and making changes to workflows. You can make small extensions directly to the original workflows supplied by SAP, such as carrying out your own agent assignments or changing deadline monitoring.
    There are several Workflow Wizards to support you in the definition of workflows, with which you can create specific parts of a workflow. The Workflow Wizard Explorer gives you an overview of the existing Workflow Wizards.
    In order to make the functions of the R/3 Systems available to a workflow, you use business objects, which you can define and analyze in the Business Object Builder. These business objects are made available to the workflow in reusable tasks. The Business Wizard Explorer gives you an overview of all existing tasks.
    The end user receives information about the activities they are to carry out in their Business Workplace. This provides them with a central overview of all the activities that they are authorized to carry out. They can commence the activities from here.
    Several tools are available to the workflow system administrator, with which they can control and analyze the current workflows. The workflow system administrator is notified of problems automatically by the system.

  • Work Flow and Oracle Apps

    Do my developer need to use the APPS account for maintaining and building work flows? Or can they use another account with the correct privleges?
    Thanks

    Hi, workflow definitions can be done using wft files (that is: not working directly on the database, but on independent files). A suggested way of working with Applications workflows is to have an administrator save the definitions to a filesystem file, then work on them, and only after the work is finished upload them to the database. Working this way, you don't have to give apps account access to developers.
    I hope it helps.

  • Automator work flow and iTunes

    I want to creat a automator work flow to start itune at a specified time daily and ply the songs in the specified playlist for an hour and then stop.
    In the automator actions I found "Find iTunes Playlist" and Start iTunes Playing". But the other bits to do the full sequence that I need are missing.
    Please help me how to go about it.
    Thanks
    Badrakumar

    Hi,
    Here's one way.
    In Automator, create a Calendar Alarm. This will have two actions from the Music library.
    The first will be "Get Specified iTunes items". Click the Add... button in the action pane and specify your playlist.
    The second action will be "Play iTunes playlist". You don't need to modify this, just make sure it's second in the workflow.
    Save and close this Calendar Alarm, calling it something like "Play my Playlist". Calendar will activate and will create a new calendar called "Automator" if it doesn't already exist.
    In Calendar, schedule this Alarm for every day at waking-up time.
    Go back to Automator and create a second Calendar Alarm. This will have a single action, "Run AppleScript" from the Utilities library. Delete all the text in the action ("On run... yadda yadda... End run"). Type in a single line:
    tell application "iTunes" to quit
    Save this Alarm, calling it something like "Stop iTunes", and again you'll be taken to Calendar. Schedule the Stop iTunes alarm daily to run an hour after the first alarm.
    Hope this helps,

  • Count of Work flow and dataflow in a single job

    Hi,
    We would like to know the count of all the worlflow,dataflow which is present in a single job. Basically we want to know what are all the things are called in side the job and how many?
    Is there any way to acheive this by seeing the repositary table or any other options are available?
    So far we tried to count manually. If single job contains multiple workflow,dataflow,scripts and datastore. It is a very tough process to calculate this or find this. So if some one help us ton this ,It would be helpful for us to calculate the metrix.
    Thanks,

    You should be able to get this information by querying the repository. Look for the AL_USAGE table (or ALVW_PARENT_CHILD). The Reference Guide has a chapter on "Metadata in Repository Tables and Views" that explains how to use this table (with some sample SQL).

  • Work Flow and document parking

    Hi frnds,
    can any body explain about what is Document parking and workflow.
    Plz Explain in brief about document parking and workflow.
    Moderator: Please, avoid asking basic questions

    Hold Document:  It is for short term and is used when tranaction Dr or Cr is uncertained and generally its is used for external purpose.  eg: Advance from potential customer
    Parking Document: Its is for longer period generally used for internal purpose.  eg: Advance made for employes.
    What is the main purpose of this document. Why we are using this one to in FI?  How it is useful?
    Parking documents is used when we need to get any clarification regarding some account.
    We can temporarily park or store this document till we get it cleared or approved.
    Then we can post it.
    Remember.... parking does not update the accounts....... it just stores the document..... whereas posting will update the accounts....( for example.... the reducing/increasing of the account balances).
    The TC for Parking Documents is F-02 -> enter the required details ->go to the menu (at top )  ->Document-> Park.
    To post a parked document : FBV0-> go to the menu Document-> Post.
    Other TCs used pertaining to Parking of Documents are :
    FV50 : Post / Delete : Single Screen Transaction
    FBV2 : Change
    FBV3 : Display
    FBV4 : Change Header
    FBV5 : Display Changes
    FBV6 : Refuse

  • Work flow management - SD

    Dear Friends,
    1.Can somebody throw light on Work Flow management?
    2.How is SD integrated with Work flow and what are the business processes that needs work flow in SD?
    3.Is it like a Work flow consultant is required to handle this or can we handle the workflow from SD end itself?
    Thanks
    Isaac

    Hi,
    Few points on workflow was prepared by me and screen shots are not there. You can refer
    ALE, EDI and IDOC Technologies for SAP by Arvind Nagpal
    For further detail.
    if the requirment is minimal then SD consultant can handle otherwise Workflow consultant is required.
    Introduction
    The workflow management system provides procedural automation of steps in business process. A business process can consist of several steps. Historically the tasks have been coordinated manually or by some means of communication (sticky note, email, shouting and so on). The common problem in these approaches is in efficiency; each lacks a way to trace where a task is, who executed (or executing) it, and how much time is required.
    In contrast, workflow management system ensures that the right work is sent to the right person at the right time in the right sequence with the right information. The ALE/EDI interface mainly uses workflow for exception (or error) handling.
    Application of Workflow in ALE/EDI
    Error Notification
    Error notification is the primary use of workflow. When exceptions are raised in the outbound and inbound process workflow is started and handled as shown in the below flow diagram.
    Active Monitoring
    Active monitoring allows you to specify threshold values for the state of the system. If the system crosses the threshold limit, a person responsible for the system problem can be notified. For example you can have some one notified when the number of failed invoice IDOCS in the system exceeds 50.
    Rule Based Inbound Flow
    This application of workflow in ALE/EDI does not under the category of error handling. You can set up workflow to handle processing of an inbound IDOC. Normally, an inbound IDOC starts a function module that invokes the posting program to create an application document from the IDOC.       
    In contrast, if you use a workflow, you can set up to do whatever is needed for your business process. SAP doesnu2019t provide standard workflows for the inbound ALE/EDI process, but you can develop your own workflows and tie them to the ALE/EDI process.
    For example an incoming order change IDOC can be routed via workflow to a person for review. If the change requested are acceptable the IDOC can be posted.                                                                               
    The Architecture of ALE/EDI Workflow
    The components used in ALE/EDI workflow fall into two categories:-
    u2022     PD-ORG (organizational) object
    u2022     Workflow object
    You can view and maintain these components by using the T-code SWLD (Area Menu for workflow).                    
                             PD-ORG
                                                                                    Workflow
    PD Organizational Objects
    PD ORG object is used to represent the companyu2019s organizational structure in SAP. The following are the PD ORG objects.
    u2022     Organizational Units (O)
    An Organizational Unit can represent a department, physical location, division or subsidiary.
    u2022     JOBS(C)
    A job involves performing one or more business tasks. For example, sales order clerk, secretary and manager. Although it is possible to assign individual task directly to a position, it is advisable to group tasks together in a job and to assign the job to the position.
    u2022     Position(S)
    A position in a company represents his or her rank. If an employee is promoted, that person leaves his or her current position and is assigned to another position. For example, sales order clerk plant 1000, secretary of company code 1000 and manager of accounts.
    u2022     Users (US)
    A user is a person who has been granted access to the SAP system to use various functions.
    All the above mentioned PD ORG objects can be created, changed and displayed by using following T-codes.
    u2022     PPOCE  Create mode.
    u2022     PPOME  Change mode.
    u2022     PPOSE  Display mode.
    Screen shot1.
    Work Flow Objects
    Business objects
    A business object represents a business entity that has a definite state and various properties. You can carry out various functions on the object. A business object encapsulates the entire functionality of an object. A business object is given a name in SAP.
    For instance, a standard material is assigned the name BUS1001006; it has properties such as material number, description, and material type. These properties are represented using attributes of the business object. The various operations that can be carried out on an object are implemented with methods. For example, if you want to create a material, you can call that business objects create method. An object also has different states. It exposes its various states by publishing events. For example, the material object has created event that is published whenever a new material is created.
    The T-code for Business Objects is SW01.
    Screen shot2.
    Tasks (T or TS)
    A task defines a piece of work that can be executed and tracked in the system. Technically, a task points to a method of an object as shown in the below screen shot. In addition, a task defines the text the purpose of the task, the triggering event based on which the task is started, the terminating event that marks the completion of the task, and a role that contains the rules to identify the person who is responsible for executing the task. A task can be started in response to an event triggered in the system. Tasks are categorized as
    u2022     Standard  Task
    Standard Task is provided by SAP and is client independent.
    u2022     Customer Task
    Customer Task is client dependent and is developed by customers.
    The T-code for Tasks is PFTC.
    Screen shot3.
    Roles
    Roles are workflow objects used to determine the person responsible for carrying out a specific task. Each task has a role assigned to it.
    The T-code for Roles is PFAC.
    Screen shot4.
    Work item
    A work item represents an instance of a task that needs to be executed. The work item can have various states that govern the operations allowed. The following table describes the various states of a work item and its effect on usability.
    Status      Description
    Ready     A work item is created and is visible to all selected agents.
    Reserved      A work item has been reserved by a user and disappears from all the inbox of other selected users.
    In process     A work item is being worked on and can be seen in the inbox of the user who started working on it.
    Completed      A work item is complete and cannot be seen in the inbox of any user
    The SAP INBOX
    The SAP inbox is an interface to manage workflow items and SAP office documents. The below screen shot shows a list of work items in a useru2019s inbox. The SAP inbox contains separate buckets for office documents and workflow items. Office documents are email documents and workflow items are work items. You can display and execute the work items from the inbox. The inbox is highly configurable.
    Screen shot5.
    Error Notification Process
    The error notification process comprises the following steps:-
    u2022     Determining the task to be started.
    u2022     Routing the error to a responsible agent as a work item.
    u2022     Processing of the work item by the responsible agent.
    Possible Agents versus Selected Agents versus Actual Agents
    A task has three types of agents based on rights to execute:
    u2022     Possible agents
    Possible agents represent persons who can execute a task. Not all the possible agents get a work item when a task is started.
    Possible agents are configured in the system by assigning a task to
    several HR objects (job, position, Org unit). A task can be set to
    General task, which means that it can be executed by any one.
    u2022     Selected agents
    Selected agents are the users who get a work item in their inbox. They
    are determined by role resolution logic. Selected agents must be a
    subset of possible agents. If the selected agent is not found, the work
    item is sent to all possible agents. The selected agents are configured
    in the partner profile and the IDOC administrator in T-code WE46.
    u2022     Actual agents
    The actual agent is the person who executes the work item from the inbox. A work item can have several selected agents but only one actual agent. When a selected agent executes a work item, the actual agent for the work item is established, and the work item immediately disappears from the inbox of other selected agents. However, if an actual agent realizes that he or she cannot resolve the problem, the user can replace the work item, causing it to reappear in the selected agentu2019s inboxes.
    Level of Agents in ALE/EDI process
    Level 1
    If a partner profile is located for the problem, the organizational object specified at the message level (inbound or outbound) in the partner profile is notified.
    Level 2
    If level 1 is cannot be identified because of the problem locating the record, the level 2 organizational object specified in the General View of the Partner profile is read.
    Level 3
    If neither level 1 nor level 2 can be identified, the system reads the EDICONFIG table for IDOC administrator and sends a notification.
    Processing by the Responsible Agent
    u2022     The steps necessary to fix an error for which a work item is generated are as follows.
    u2022     Execute work item to display the error. Examples of errors include problems in the control record, errors in IDOC data, and incorrect configuration.
    u2022     The cause of the problem can usually be determined from the error message. If applicable, additional error information is also available for certain type of errors (for example application errors).
    u2022     After the cause of the problem has been determined, it must be fixed outside workflow (or in some cases, within workflow). The recovery procedure depends on the nature of the problem.
    -     If the error is in the IDOC data, the IDOC can be edited and then reprocessed from workflow.
    -     If the error requires restarting the process from the beginning, the IDOC has to be marked for deletion to stop it from further processing and to clear the work item from the inbox.
    -     If the error involves an IDOC that has not been created yet, the work item merely informs the person about the error.
