Link event on user decision

Hi fellow workflowers ( ),
I was just wondering if it is possible to link an event on a user decision ?
Our system is an ERP 5.0 system.
thanks in advance !

Hi Björn,
Not sure if I understood your question, but if you want to raise an even when a user makes a decision.... simple: On the outcome branch insert a "Create Event" step.
If you want to use a terminating event, this doesn't work with decisions. Use a fork and a wait step in parallel instead.
Hope that helps,
Mike

Url link in User Decision workflow step

Hi Experts,
I had created a workflow for "Employee transfer" process using SWDD tcode.
I had a created a workflow step with type as "User Decision".I had included "Approve" & "Reject" decision options.
Now i want to include URL link along with "Approve" & "Reject" in the user decision workflow step (i.e) The manager needs to see the URL link along with "Approve" & "Reject" in his SAP workflow inbox.
Can anyone guide me...
Regards,
Krishna Balaji T

Hi Krishna,
I understand your issue. I have faced a similar issue in my project.
Here is the solution!
To add link of a URL you need to have the binding with the BO of the transaction your are refering to. To do this, you need to bind your BO event (triggering event) to the workflow container and then the workflow container to task container. This BO value should flow from event-> workflow -> task container to get the link in the User Decision.
To do the binding you need to follow the following steps:
1. Go to t-code SWDD and open your workflow template.
2. Go to Basic Data (cap sign button at the top of the screen) or click Ctrl + F8
3. Go to Start Events tab.
4. In the Object type enter your BO name (BO for the transaction you need to add as link), in Event of object enter the BO event. This would serve as the triggering event for your workflow.
5. Click on 'B' i.e. Binding Defined, click on generate automatic binding. It would automatically generate the appropriate binding for the workflow. You can also alter the binding as per requirement. This binding would ensure that the URL comes under 'objects and attachments' section.
6. Click on 'C' i.e. Start Condition. A dialog would open, select the appropriate start condition for the workflow. Check the condition before saving (recommended).
6. Click on 'A' to Activate the binding and start condition. All 'A', 'B' and 'C' would get green.
7. Save the changes made and activate your workflow.
8. Do the binding between the workflow and the user decision step. Select automatic binding (recommended).
You can also refer to the similar thread that I had provided solution to. This would help you resolve the issue!

Link in User Decision step not showing correctly in UWL

Hi SAP Experts,
I have a requirement to add a link in a user decision step, this link triggers a custom webdynpro for additional input. When I access the workitem from Business Workplace, the link is showing fine. But when I execute the workitem in UWL, the link is not displayed, instead the code is shown (<a>...</a>). Please advise on what I should do to have the link working. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
This same thing was just recently discussed. I just cannot find the thread anymore (well, in that thread there was not really any solution). Basically the hyperlinks in work item do not seem to work in UWL as they should. I don't know if there are any way to make them work. My suggestion is to not use the hyperlink at all and replace that with an action (=button) to the task in the UWL. This can be achieve quite easily by simple XML configuration in portal. If you have worked with UWL this should be quite straightforward for you, or if there is a consultant at the site, who is familiar with UWL, this should be simple for him/her.

Attaching HTTP Links for User Decisions?

hi all,
how can we attach HTTP Links along with User Decisions. i have previously attached Business Objects as links along with approve/reject button but this time I need to attach a HTTP link.
Points will be awarded.

hi ravi,
the basic requirement for me is that the frontend is going to be Webdynpro Pages controlled with a workflow in the backend. say if a personnel submits a form, it has go to the person's manager for approval.
So while approving it, if incase he wants to see the approval information, he would click on the URL which comes with the User Decision. this is the precise requirement.
Regarding Javascript code, where can we write the java code for URL's. is there any standard template which follows the same requirement.

User Decision Step Link

Dear Experts,
I have created a custom application, in which I have to trigger the workflow. I have created a workflow and this workflow is being called through application using FM: WAPI_START_WORKFLOW. In this workflow there is a user decision step. I want to create a link of application's "change screen" in the user decision step. As I don't have BO object in this workflow; So how should I create the link of change screen?
Regards,
Sohail

Hi Sohail
Starting a workflow using SAP_WAPI_START_WORKFLOW is not a preferred option ; instead use events to trigger the workflow by using SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT - It gives better tracking capability as well as options for queuing.
Coming to your question, Business Object is required, you can not only create a method to display the change screen, but also provide attachments etc....a lot more is possible if you have business object instantiated.

"You can also" link in UWL work item when using user decision step in workflow

Hi,
Just want to check if anybody has tried adding links to this section in the UWL when using user decision step? I need to pass some custom links which will be calling some webdynpro applications and backend transactions. I have read somewhere that Ineed to modify the XML file but don' t know how the next steps once I have defined (i.e. how to handle those links).
Thanks in advance.
Rammel

Hi Rammel
I hope you are keeping well and many thanks for using the SAP Discussion Forums .
Based upon your scenario you mentioned that:
You want to add links to the "You Can Also" section in the UWL with user decision steps
In an effort to pass custom links (calling web dynpro) applications.
You wish to know how to modify the XML
Ok now based upon the scenario there are two key points regarding XML files and efforts to change them.
Remember that XML in terms of the UWL follow the notion of precedence. Now that means that once you make a change to an XML file you need to re-upload it to realize changes. To re-upload an XML file and realized changes you need to do so with a "High" or "Very High" priority and also ensure that the UWL Cache has been cleared of the UWL Service restarted so changes can be realized.
The second key point is to ensure that you backup all current XML files before making any changes so you can easily revert those changes if required.
Now reverting back to your query, the XML files and the "You Can Also" section. Kindly see the documentation outlined below as here you are going to make changes to the I-View configuration:

User Decision - Outcome link to on a Previous Activity

Hi all, I'd like to ask to all WF expert about a doubt, is possible to link the outcome of a Activity of USER DECISION to a Previous Activity? In afirmative case, which will be the way?
Thank you and regards
Angel

Yes,
Use the container operation step in the particular branch of user decision step. Set value of some container say ABCD = 'X'
Then loop the user decision step. Check if the value in the container is X.
If true loop or else endloop.
Let me know if I have understood your requirement properly.
Let me know if you have any queries.

Inspection lot for recurring inspection was created without user decision

A manual inspection lot was created for recurring inspection. When reporting results QE51, the user decision option is disable, therefore I can not move the batch from Quality Inspection to Unrestricted.

I still don't see how you are manually creating the lots. From the way you described it, the qty. is already in QI and you are then manually creating an 09 using QA01. If this is what you are doing, the manually created 09's will NOT be linked to the inventory in QI and they will not be able to be used to move the stock out of QI. NO MANUALLY CREATED inspection lots, (i.e transaction QA01), EVER control stock. To control stock, the inspection lot must have been triggerred by another event or transaction that caused the lot to be created., (QA07, GR, stock transfer, delivery creation, etc...)
What I don't know, is how you got the material into QI in the first place. How was the material moved into QI? When stock is moved into QI that should trigger an inspection lot. If QM is active for a material you shouldn't be able to use standard stock movements to place the material into QI. If you moved it and then activated QM you should get errors when activating an inspectoin type unless you have followed specific procedures for creating 08 lots for exisitng QI inventory.
So I think we are still missing some informaiton.

Step for User Decision

Hi All,
I have a scenario and two solutions for it.
Please give me the input for which is a better solution and why.
Scenario - Approver have to either Approve/ Reject a particular request made.
The user decision has to come from Java front end and the workitem created has to be executed externally
( not by opening sap inbox)
Soln 1 : Create an asynchronous task and custom terminating events for the workitem and trigger terminating event for any user decision Approve or Reject.
Soln 2 : Send an normal decision task and programatically execute one of the decision using the WAPI* FM when user clicks Approve/Reject.
Both of them I think uses the WAPI * FM.
Thanks
Chandran

Sorry I was not clear in my question before.
I still refered to the first solution which uses a Aysn Task and a method which does not have any code (just a placeholder)
IA is absolutely right but I dont have the flexibilty to use an ivew.
Thanks a lot for your reply. I would close up this thread.
Just some additional clarification if you can bring up
What additional code that would be required for the second solution (both uses a sap WAPI FM )
Both can be tracked by WF tools by finding out the agent and the person who have completed the Workitem so which tools you were mentioning about
Actually I did not get which is a better solution but realized both can be used atleast no worry on the performance load. My be this topic can go for a long time to figure out

Chandran.

Create Condtition with Step User Decision

Hello All,
I create a workflow for the approval of Purchase Order using the step user decision which works fine. But in my configuration, i have 2 release strategies, one is for approval of Purchase Order with sum lesser than 250,000 while the other strategy is for approval of Purchase Order with sum greater than 250,000. Due to this release strategy, i created a condition step (Using container of net price) before the user decision step, which has a false and a true branch. But for every time i create a Purchase Order, only the false branch gets triggered.
How do i create this condition and where should it fall, bearing in mind that my start event is the creation of release step of BUS2012
Thanks for anticipated help.

Hi,
I think along with the condition check on Net price ,you should also do a condition check on the release code triggered from T16FS and place this combined check correctly before the user decision step.I think it should work.
SELECT SINGLE FRGGR FRGSX FRGZU FROM EKKO INTO WA_EKKO WHERE EBELN EQ PONUMBER.
IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
*Get the Release code FRGC1 and FRGC2 as maintained in T16FS
    SELECT SINGLE FRGC1
                  FRGC2
           FROM   T16FS
           INTO   WA_T16FS
           WHERE FRGGR = WA_EKKO-FRGGR
           AND    FRGSX = WA_EKKO-FRGSX.
    IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
      CASE WA_EKKO-FRGZU.
        WHEN ' '.
          RELCODE = WA_T16FS-FRGC1.
        WHEN 'X'.
          RELCODE = WA_T16FS-FRGC2.
      ENDCASE.
    ENDIF.
ENDIF.

HREF in user decision task not working in UWL?

Hi All,
We're on ECC6 and portal version 7.01 SP4.
My problem is that I have defined a link in the body of a user decision task like so..
<A HREF="http://www.google.ie/" target=_blank> GOOGLE </A>
and while in appears as a link in the task in the UWL, clicking it does nothing. When I check the properties of the link, I see that it's actually javascript:void(0);, so hence it doing nothing.
Can anyone give me any guidance on how to get a link working in a user decision task in the UWL?
Thanks in advance,
Liz.

Hi Patrick,
Thanks for the respnse, I've since figured out that what I was trying to do was not possible. I have impleneted a workaround myself, where I just added an extra button action in the UWL.
Many thanks,
Liz.

Workflow user-decision mail with Approve & Reject button to Outlook.

Hi All,
Requirement: To send a mail with Approve & Reject buttons to outlook inbox.
Approach: I have used the user-decision step in the workflow and the approve, reject buttons are displayed . As far as solution in SAP inbox is concerned, it is solved.
However the requirement is to show the mail with the buttons in the outlook mail.
Resolution Required For: to show the mail with the buttons in the outlook mail. I am new to workflows sending mail to outlook inbox. Is there any way to do this using ABAP developments.
Thanks for your time.
Best Regards,
Goutham.

Hi,
If you are on ECC 5.0 or above, you can use the Extended Notif. for achieving this.
How are you getting the Outlook mail ?. If you already have Extn.Notif, then do the following :
1. In Transaction SWNCONFIG,for your Scenario and Category,
in the Subscription Basis Data -->Subscription Settings,
Set the parameter SHOW_ACTION_DECISION_AS as "LINK"
This will give you the options of your user decision as LInks in Outlook mail.
There is lot of material in this forum for Extended Notif. if you search.
Hope this helps.

Dear Ramesh,
Need your help!
While creating travel expense request from Enterprise Portal, travelers create few attachments [pdf/doc/xms/txt] and then save the travel expense reports.
A workflow then gets triggered and this travel expense report reached the SAP Inboxes of the checkers [in the finance department].
The issue here is that these checkers do not have access to enterprise portal and they expect to see the attachments [that the traveler has created via the portal] via corresponding work items in their SAP Inboxes u2013 which currently is not happening!
I checked the trip transaction that got created [in the backend / in SAP] and found the u2018attachment listu2019 menu option in GOS being disabled [may be because there is not even one attachment that has come to the backend!]
What needs to be done so that the attachments can even be viewed from the backend / from SAP Inbox? Does this involve coding?
Please suggest!
Br,
Hari
