Need 2 Multiline elements for user decision step

We are on SAP R/3 Enterprise version.
I have this requirement to find agents based on the agent type and work center field.  So I created a responsibility rule for each type of agent type.  The responsibility rule is keyed on the work center, and HR positions are mapped to each responsibility rule’s work center field. 
We have 50 agent types/responsibility rules, 60 work centers, and 1 or more positions for each agent type and work center combinations. Due to the total number of positions, I prefer to use 1 responsibility rule per agent type for ease of maintenance.
I have a FM that reads the responsibility rule based on the agent type and work center field and retrieve the agent_list.  I used this FM/method/step prior to my user decision step and pass the agent_list to the UD step via container.
In my user decision step, the ‘Other’ tab does not have Multiline element for me to enter my agent_list.  So I cannot use &agent_list[&_WF_PARFOREACH_INDEX&]& in my user decision agent assignment expression field.
In my last job, we have SAP ECC 5.0, the UD step has a ‘Misc’ tab that has Multiline element, but our current SAP R/3 Enterprise version does not have ‘Misc’ tab, it only has ‘Other’ tab.
Question:
1.  How do I use [&_WF_PARFOREACH_INDEX&] without Multiline element for agent_list in UD step?
2. I have to use the same way to retrieve my LED_agent_list as well, so I need 2 Multiline elements in my UD step. But normally in  ‘Other’ tab, it allows you to define only 1 Multiline element. How do I get around this restriction?
3. My last resort is to use 1 responsibility rule, then I can use the rule in the agent assignment.  If that is the case, is there any limit on the number of entries in the rule?
Thanks.

  • Solutions for User Decision step- Upon reject, auto-popup text for reason

    Execute user Decision workitem, when user click reject button, open text for rejection reason within the workitem.
    Ideally, for the auto-pop text , we need a descriptive header and user can enter reject reason. Text must be added before the workitem can be saved.
    Any thoughts.
    Thanks a lot.

    yes, on the SOFM.Create-Task use a dataflow from the WIOBJECT_ID => (append table) ADHOCOBJECTS
    This will popuplate this rejection to the hyperlink-section of the workflow.
    You may also activate the outcome-even "user-cancelled" in the workflow definition (or by copying the coding to your own method that could do it) and loop around back to the user decision if he cancels the document create (which I found out is sometimes a problem for the users).
    I also have made the experience that it is quite the same effort and more convenient if you design a complete user-driven screen. Then you have full control of that issue. I always use a small dialog box with a textEdit-Control where the users have to enter their rejection reason.
    I then create my own ZWFNOTE-Object and append this to the ADHOCOBJECT. This usually works very fine.
    with kind regards,

  • User Decision step- Upon reject, auto-popup text for reason

    In a user decision step, when the user clicks the reject button, open text for rejection reason within the workitem.
    i have done the following
    1) Create a new step
    2) Create a task based on SOFM.CREATE
    3) Binded  WIOBJECT_ID => (append table) ADHOCOBJECTS
    It works fine, when the user clicks the reject button a new work item with the reason for rejection lands in the user inbox, which when clicked brings up the doc.
    I want to make it seamless for the user where as soon as the reject button is clicked, the document <b>should open right away</b> without a new work item in the inbox
    Any help will be greatly appreciated

    Hi
    If you are using the portal/UWL then search the blogs for a solution otherwise give this a try, in your step definition for the 2 steps, go to the Details tab and tick 'Advance with dialog', this will work if you execute from the business workplace.
    Good Luck!

  • User decision step prob

    Hi,
    In my workflow user decision step have 2 approvers.
    if one of the approver opening the work item ,remaining approvers relevent work item(User decision) deleted from sap inbox.
    i want to keep all approvers work items  alive upto getting decision from any one.
    Please suggest me in  this
    Thanks and Regards,
    Ragavendran K.

    Hi,
    It is  possible by doing the following
    create a multiline element for the approvers.
    you use this element in a simple subflow where you pass on the mutliine element in the Miscellaneous  tab.
    Now for every record in the container 1 workflow is started.
    Your workflow should have a fork 1:2
    in one branche the user decision and after the user decision a create event step.
    And in the other branch a wait for event step.
    Now only when a UD is executed an event gets triggered,m which should terminate all of the workflows.
    Kind regards, Rob Dielemans

  • SOFM in user decision step - provide reason in UWL

    Hello Everyone,
    I'm working with a customer who wants to use a user decision step and add a reason for the rejection only.  This step will be executed in UWL - since UWL doesn't support syncrhonous dialog chains, it can't be implemented by adding another step with SOFM.  I have seen the 'template with attachment' in the user decision step, and have tried binding SOFM to the Reference in the container, but the user doesn't have the option.
    Perhaps this could be implemented with a secondard amodal method - which checks the user decision code and only implements if the decision was rejected.  I'd like to be able to put a condition on the secondary methods.
    If you've done something like this, please let me know!
    Regards
    Ginger

    Hi Ginger,
    Unfortunately it is not only synchronous dialog chains, but also secondary methods that are not supported in the UWL, so you're stuck both ways.
    Though, I have been told that the latest SP does support some kind of advance with dialog functionality (SP15 I think?).
    At one customer we used a custom ABAP-based decision step which executed in a wingui session - thus synchronous dialog chains worked as long as every subsequent step was wingui based (which SOFM.CREATE obviously is) - worked quite well.
    Let me know if you need more info.
    Cheers,
    Mike

  • Error Handling in workitem---user decision step

    HI Experts,
    I have created work item through user decision step. In that decision i have given Approve & Reject Option
    now when user click on Approve that i need to do some validation based on this i need to give error also at same time i dont want to complete that workflow...i want that after getting error user must recity that error and than come back again to inbox and execute that workitem... I tried it but i am not able to do this...can anybody pls provide the hint for this requirement.
    Thanks & Regards,

    Hi Pavan,
    I am confused i your third point.
    . In the Approved branch of the Decision step check for the condition , if it fails then raise the exception.that you have define in the Point 1. in the exception branch insert the logic so that the condition becomes true, after that step insert one more decision step.
    how i 'll raise the raise the exception do i need to create and task or any other step.
    also can you please explain below point in detail.
    in the exception branch insert the logic so that the condition becomes true, after that step insert one more decision step.
    also i am working into SAP CRM 2007 web UI environment.
    Please advice.

  • "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:
    Configuring the UWL

  • User Decision step type

    Hi,
    I have developed a WF for 'Notification of Absence'. In this, a leave request is sent for approval.
    When the leave request is Rejected, the creator has to make a decision (User Decision step type used) as to 'Withdraw' or 'Update' the request. But in the inbox of the creator, there is no option for "Withdraw' and 'Update'. What could be the reason for this? Am i missing something?
    Thank you for your time.
    Ajay

    Hi AD,
    are you trying to process anything else after the Decision Step in your WF definition ?
    If yes, then what are you trying to process after it
    If no, then try what JMB said, GUI problem, I doubt that but you can try as you need to resolve it.
    Did you try removing the buffer ?
    Hope it helps.

  • User Decision step in UWL

    Hi,
    I have a 3 user decision steps in my Customised workflow which uses the task TS00008267. Each task has different decison text and outcome. When this is executed through UWl the outcome does not appear as they are in SBWP.
    Does this need and Portal Configuration?
    Thanks & Regards

    Hi,
    There are two thing you need to do.
    First, you need to configure the SWFVISU.
    Run Tcode SWFVISU.
    here, select "Task Visualization' and maintain your standard task ( TS ) with ABAP web dynpro option.
    Now selct your entry and click on Visualization Parameters as mentopn below.
    APPLICATION ( WD application name )
    DYNPARAM
    NAMESPACE
    SYSTEM_ALIAS
    Second, ask Portal team to chagne the XML code for the above standard task and application ( i.e. WD appilcation which will be launced on clicking the task ).
    From the next run of the workflow, WD applcitoon will be lauched from the protal.
    for the old workitem this will not work.
    Note : If u do not configure SWFVISU then WD application will not lauch but user will get SAP gui screen for processing it.
    xlm code must be changed corresponding task for both case.
    Thanks and ragards,

  • Cancel and keep workitem in ready state in user decision step

    Hi,
    In a user decision step,there is a default option 'Cancel and keep the work item'.
    Now clicking on this option, the workitem goes into "Inprogress state"
    whereas i want to keep the workitem in "ready state"  after i click on the option 'Cancel and keep the work item'.
    I am trying to modify the Process method of Decision Object type to incorporate this funcationality by using FM "SAP_WAPI_PUT_BACK_WORKITEM.
    but im getting the error that this FM cannot be used at runtime.
    Place where im trying to call this FM:
    After the FM'SWU_PROCESS_MANUEL_DECISION'
    I am getting the value of RESULT.
    If result is SPACE or sy-subrc is not 00 then i am calling this Fm which takes Wi_id of the userdecision as input.
    Kindly help
    Regards

    Hi,
    Let me ask you this. Why you need to have this in "Ready" state, Not in "IN PROCESS" state. Anyway, the witem is still there in the user's inbox, and if you have any deadline monitoring, then this is also taken care with "Cancel and keep xxxx". So, i think, functionally you'll still be better with the existing functionality.
    And, with all this, if you are still trying to change, then i think it's NOT possible. If i understand correctly, you are trying to use the FM "SAP_WAPI_PUT_BACK_WORKITEM" within the PROCESS method. And, if you understood the functionality of how this works, you are trying to set the status of the SAME witem for which you are executing the PROCESS method.
    THe way i understand the behind-the-scenes process, once you make a decision and save, this method is the one which in turn sets the witem status. And within that, you CANNOT capture the status as it is yet to be posted to the Witem tables.
    Probably, after this decision step, use a different background task with the above FM to set the witem status to "Ready", BUT NOT IN THE SAME METHOD of PROCESS.
    Also, it's not advisable to change this std. method.
    Hope this helps you. Reply,if you need more info.

  • URL in user decision step

    Dear Experts,
    I am using ecc4.7 version system. I have a user decision step. I want to display an url in objects and attachments section of user decision step. Ofcourse I found many similar threads from SDN. But they are not helping me with the solution. Please tell me how to achieve the same.
    KR,
    Bharath
    Edited by: bharath padmanabhan on Dec 21, 2009 9:08 PM

    Hi Bharath,
    Have you displayed the URL in Attachmnt & Object of UD step?. If not try this,
    If we need to display something, say URL in Attachmnet & object of UD step, we need to have a BO (instantiated) and the default method of the BO (mentioned in Basic data of SWO1) will be executed, if we click the URL in Attachment & Object.
    I am not sure, whether you have any ZBO or not, if not create a ZBO and create a key field, this key field needs to hold the URL link. Then create a method, inside the method, call the FM- "CALL_BROWSER" by passing the Exporting para of FM (URL) as object-key-<key field>. Also in the basic data tab of the SWO1, give this Zmethod name in default section tab.
    Now copy the std task of UD step and create a task container as same type of ZBO and create a WKF container as same as ZBO and instantiate this ZBO. And do the binding in the UD step,
    <WKF container of ZBO> -> <Task container of ZBO>
    Make sure before this binding, the WKF container of ZBO needs to be instantiated with the corresponding URL as key field. Now execute the WKF, you will find the Link in Attachmnet & Object and after clicking the link, it will direct to you the corresponding place. Let me know for any issues.
