Maint. Order as Attachment in workflow decision step!!!!

Hi All,
I am making a workflow in which i want to attach the Maintenance Order in the Decision Step , is it possible or not.
How can i do attachment in Send Mail Step is there any provision.
Basically my requirement is like:-
When the User create the Maintenance Order a workflow should trigger which will go the SAP Inbox of the recipient now he has to see the maint. Order created and should approve if it can be Released or not .
When he does the approval the application should go for the another approval and when he approves the application is sent back to the workflow initiator.
Please suggest me what is the best way to do this scenerio. As i m very new to workflow so have only basic knowledge
Please help me out!!!!!
Thanks

Hi Rachit,
Have a look at std WF like WS20000014, WS20000021 etc..
It will give idea about maintenace order processing
Regarding your question about attaching objet to User decision, yes, its possible. Just Bind the Maintenance Order Object related container element to AdhocObjects elemnet of user decision.
Your overall process can be there will be 2 user decision steps.
Once these two steps approve, then you can use a third step with background task which will actually release the maintenace order. e.g. For this step you can use BAPI.
Hope this helps.

How To Send Invoice List as attachment in User Decision Step?

HI All,
I have developed a workflow in which there is one ZMETHOD in which i will get the list of invoices.and that i want to send it as attachment to User Decision Step.
How to do this?

If your users will have access to MIR4, why not just bind the business object BUS2081 as an adhoc object into your decision step? That would solve everything pretty nicely, I think.

Adobe form as attachment to user decision step

Hi,
i need to add adobe form as attachement to user decision step in workflow.
1. i created activity step which call business object method with parameters workitem id
     i am using FM SAP_WAPI_ATTACHMENT_ADD’ which will return attribute id
     i am passing that attribute with document id to 'ZSOFM'
        ZSOFM <-----------------------------------ZSOFM (Method to task)
      Bindings 'Attach_objects' <------------- ZSOFM(Task to Workflow).
2. i created user decision step
    Bindings 'Attach_objects' --------------------> 'Attach_Objects'( Workflow to user decision task).
but when we execute first activity step in background i am not getting any PDF output .but when we execute same method from class i can see pdf data is coming is it due to user name WF-Batch.
when i execute activity step in back ground which will have sy-uname as WF-Batch i am not getting any PDF output data.
please help how to solve .
Thanks,
Phani

In transaction SWO1 create a z-object lets say zmyobjpdf (you might want to use it as a sub object of your standard object without delegation since they will probably have the same key).
create a method in that object calling the adobe form.
set it as the default method in the object header.
now create an instance of the zmyobjpdf in the workflow for example as an attribute of the original object) and transfer it to the decision task.
It will be displayed as an attached object pressing it will call the default method - your adobe form.
If your question was about how to create a function module to display the form see SAP Library - PDF-Based Forms

Workflow decision steps

Hi,
I have a decision step. When the user executes it a workflow log and a create attachment buttons appear on the top. Is there a way to suppress these buttons?
Thanks,
Scott

Hi Janos,
Thank You for your quick response.
I am able to see the link attachment in the Objects and Attachments section but when i click it on the link the invoice image it should get open in SAP Document Viewer it's not opening just doing nothing .
"ArchiveLink Image in workflow screen doesn't work , the image does not open. No error message at all ,just doing nothing when clicking on that link"
But when logged into SAP Portal the same link is opening and able to see the image in SAP document viewer. But from SAP GUI it's not working.

Can a spool file be sent as an attachment in the decision step?

Hi,
I have z program that runs in background and produces a spool file. Normally, I can use tcode SP01 to display this file. At the end of this z program, I call SWW_WI_START_SIMPLE to send a workflow into SAP inbox. I want to know if I somhow can send the spool file along also? I read about attachment and SOFM object but still can't figure out what I need to do yet. Please help.
Thank you,

Why cant I bebug BO Method from Workflow decision step

I have been trying for a while to find a solution. I have activated BO Debugging. I have set BO method as advance with dialog. all my efforts in vein. I could debug directly from SW01 but not from SBWP.
Is there any trick to debug a BO method. I have a task to execute a custom BO method "approve" after user decides to approve workitem. I am sure this method is getting executed but but not stopping there because I have put a error message which is being displayed.
your earliest response is much appreciated.
Regards
Kasi

Murthy,
You have little wrong perception about your workflow logic (As I understood from your description, may be I have not understood it proper).
You said that you put the break point on your BO method.
well user decision is always based on BO DECISION method PROCESS (unless you have created your own screen), Now you might have different buttons on your user decision (say approve/reject/cancel and keep etc), so if you wish to debug this (BO decision method Process) you can,
but the task which got executed once you click on this buttons might be bacground task (based on your BO's method) and you can not debug the background task. Ofcourse there are several indirect ways to debug this, pls search forum for that.
Hope it will help.
Cheers
Jai

Tcode in user decision step

Dear experts,
I have a user decision step. Before the approver can approve or reject the workitem i need to show a tocde screen to him. Say for example CN25. My workitem will be generated only after initiator makes changes in that tcode. I want approver who gets the workitem to see CN25 tcode screen and then only make decision. Is there any possibility to attach or bring a tcode screen in user decision step.

Dear Hemalatha,
Thanks a lot for your reply.
You can direct;y use the Object which is used to trigger the workflow. Then you can bind this object to get that tcode as
attachment in decision task.
This is exactly my requirement. In my BO i have a standard method "display" to display the Tcode. I want to know how should i do the binding from BO's method to user decision task so that i can display a link as attachment of user decision step, by clicking which user can see the display screen.

Workflow- Adding Terminating event into a Decision Step

Hi
I have a requirement like, in the decision step for example 'Approve' or 'Reject' has to be executed from the web application by triggering a terminating event for this decision step. I have copied the decision BO DECISION to ZDECISION and created two terminating events and make it ashynchrounous. But this step is not getting executed in the workflow showing error as 'no terminating event is attached to the task'.
Any input on this is welcome. If you could reply bit early as I need the information ASAP.
Thanks in advance.

Adding of RAW-attachement in decision step ?

hi,
i have an decision step in an workflow.
there it is possible (as SAP Standard) to attach a attachement.
but the only thing a user should do there is to enter an RAW document, just a text
for the next user.
BUT: when i push the 'attachement' button in the decision step i get
a very user-unfriendly popup 'between'. there the user must enter
a text BEFORE he can enter the text in the editor.
is it possible to avoid that windows between and get DIRECTLY into
the note-editor ???????
reg, Martin

Hi,
Assign "Description as your default attribute in your BO basic data...
this will work...

Decision step with attachment

hi
my issue is i have kept a decision step where , i need to send decision step with attachment , i have done binding in the control tab ,of decision step like this
& absence& --> &_ATTACH_OBJECTS&
my attachemnet should be absence object.
when i execute , i 'm getting the decision workitem but with
no attachment , would u help on this .

Hi,
Make sure you have &ABSENCE& object is instantiated in any one of the steps before to youe decision step.
In Workflow Log, check the container elements and see if Adhoc_Objects container element value getting filled or not on your user decision step? If it is not having any values and if your binding is correct, then i am sure &ABSENCE& object is not instantiated before. Check !!

Error in decision step in customise workflow

Hi,
When i execute my customise workflow, There are 2 decision steps. On 2nd decision step i am getting error message 'Element '_WI_OBJECT_ID' not in container. In 1st decision step, element WIOBJECT_ID is not in container, but it execute successfully.
How do i solve this?
Regards,
Smit

Hi,
Smit do proper binding between event and workflowcontainer and WF container to task container.
If you are not aware of it you should use RED Round button which automatically do this for you.
and another thing goto agent assignment and specify that task with general task from attributes.
Hope magic Works!

Purvesh Patel.

Maint. Order as Attachment in workflow decision step!!!!
