OUTBOUND- ERROR HANDLING USING WORKFLOW

Hi Gurus,
Can any one tell me about workflow & how to do error handling using WORKFLOW in OUTBOUND IDOC.Below are the points , Please check it & send me reply.
1.Value not found for Custom IDoc fields.
2. Partner Profile not maintained correctly.
3. Syntax error in IDoc.
4. IDoc ready for dispatch (ALE Service).
Regards,
Chiranjeevi.

Hi,
FOr most of your requirements, there is already std. SAP IDOC error Single-step tasks.
Have a look at WE46 transaction.
Also, if you go to SWO1 and search with "IDOC*", you will get all the BO's even.
It's pretty straightfwd. Also, in Partner Profiles, WE20, for each of the IDOC type, there is one "Post.Processing AGent", whom if you set up correctly, will be the person receiving this Errored IDOC mails.
Hope this helps

IDoc error handling via WorkFlow. What is missing?

Hi All,
My problem is when an error occured I don't receive anything in the Workplace.
I did the following:
When I created the process code I gave an object type(based on IDOCAPPL) for the function module's IDoc part. For the start event I gave the INPUTERROROCCURED event and for the end event the INPUTFINISHED.
I created a standard task where the triggering event is the object type->inputerroroccured and the terminating event is object type->inputfinished and the object method is the object type->inputforeground. I use a standard role with a "Z" function module to determine the agent.
I tested the role with an IDoc number and it worked. It gave me back a position where is my userid is the only id. The concistency check shows me 2 red line: the missing IDoc Packet section (I think it's not needed) and at the Role assignment (I think it's good so I don't understand this).
So, Do you have any idea what is wrong?
Thanks for your help in advance.
Regards,
Gyula

Hi Gyula
Can you tell how you are actually raising that event .?
I assume that you have created a process code and attached it to some function module and therein wherever you are getting error(when you want to trigger workflow) you are raising an event for your object type and its event .
Since i cant check out your code , it guess you can try setting your task as General Task first to just get sure whether the event linkage is active for event or not and your workflow if at all is really getting triggered or not . If these things work fine with out then certainly your role determination function module needs to be checked.

IDOC error processing using WORKFLOW

Hi ,
I tried to post an error IDOC of message type FIDCC2 using "INPUTFORGROUND" method of Idoc object IDOCFIDCC2.I am using foreground from error for processing the idoc from the error status screen. For some Idoc it is going to the application and I can correct data and for some Idoc it just creates a message "Error during application input" . It is not calling the application dialog . Does anyone have answer for this? ,It would be a great help.
Thanks

Hi Siridhar,
Thanks for your reply . The message says application error ie it is calling application and trying to post.
For some error this calls the application in foreground and processing. Is there processing status of IDOC that it will not allow to process foreground.

Inbound idoc processing by workflow

Hello,
How can I find if an inbound IDoc has been processed via workflow ?
following are details -
1)status records 50 and 64 for the idoc show RFC user ID whereas 62 and 53 show WORKFLOW_020 user ID.
2)manual re process in test system using WE19 has all four status records by login user ID.
3)BD67 values for this process code was checked for the start events.
4)I checked standard task 30200090 following oss note 325361
5)The invoice document posted via this idoc has created by user ID as WORKFLOW_020
I do not have full knowledge of inbound idoc processing via workflow and I am in the process of learning the same. Kindly help.

Authorization Error While Invoking BPEL Process Via RMI

Hi All,
I have been trying to invoke BPEL Process via RMI client.
I use the following piece of code for BPEL Process Invocation...
public class RMIClient {
public RMIClient() {
public static void main(String[] args){
Hashtable jndi = new Hashtable ();
jndi.put (Context.PROVIDER_URL, "opmn:ormi://host:6010:oc4j_soa/orabpel");
jndi.put (Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "com.evermind.server.rmi.RMIInitialContextFactory");
jndi.put (Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL,"oc4jadmin"); // username of Bpel Manager
jndi.put (Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS,"welcome1"); //password of BPEL Manager
Locator locator=null;
try {
locator = new Locator("default",jndi);
} catch (ServerException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
IDeliveryService deliveryService =
(IDeliveryService)locator.lookupService
(IDeliveryService.SERVICE_NAME );
// construct the normalized message and send to oracle bpel process
NormalizedMessage nm = new NormalizedMessage( );
String xml = "<ns1:MyFirstBPELProjectProcessRequest xmlns:ns1=\"http://xmlns.oracle.com/MyFirstBPELProject\">\n" +
" <ns1:input></ns1:input>\n" +
" </ns1:MyFirstBPELProjectProcessRequest>";
nm.addPart("payload", xml );
NormalizedMessage res=null;
try {
res = deliveryService.request("MyFirstBPELProject", "process", nm);
} catch (ServerException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (RemoteException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
Map payload = res.getPayload();
When I try to connect to my locally deployed BPEL process Manager and Invoke the same process (MyFirstBPELProjectProcess ) it works fine and creates an Instance on BPEL Process Manager Console.
When I tried Invoking the same BPEL process (MyFirstBPELProjectProcess ) deployed on a Remote machine ,it doesnt create an Instance.
I believe my connections settings are all correct ,since it doesnt give me an connection issue on my standalone client.
I tried looking at the following file default_group~oc4j_soa~default_group~1.log available opmn folder under SOA Suite OAS and there
are no errors.
Could some body point the log files that I need to look at.
I am sort of clueless...
Regards
Harish

CAn you post the error. HAve you made sure that the remote machine has connection on the port 6010. You can test this with the folloing command from the remote machine
telnet host 6010
obviously replace host with the fully qualified host name of the SOA machine.

Process Control Workflow Configuration error on portal

Hi Experts,
We are using process controlled workflow for BUS2121 and activated a BC Set "/SAPSRM/C_SC_600_000_SP04" Shopping cart without approval.
For this We have created a Event and a Expression in BRF as constant for Process schema evaluation. No approval is required as of now. But when try to shop from the portal it shows a dump as:

Error during approval Process flow in Process controlled workflow

Hello Experts,
We are in SRM 7.0 classic scenario using Process controlled workflow.WE recently connected a new backend R/3 system to our SRM system i.e we now have 2 R/3 backend system connected to SRM system
It is regarding the two new additional account assignment categories that came into picture when we connected the new R/3 backend system to our SRM system, i.e. Asset and Network.
There seems to be some problem with the approval workflow for those SHC, that have such Acc *** Cats.
Please find below my obeservations:
- if you have just one line item in the SHC, and this item is either booked on Asset or on Network, than everything goes fine. After the Acc *** approval, the PR is created in R/3
- if you have SC with a mix between an "old" Acc *** Cat (Cost Centre, WBS and Order) and one of the "new" Acc *** Cats, than the workflow is not working as required --- the manager, that is responsible for the accounting approval of the two positions (e.g Cost Centre and Asset) gets only one work item in his approval overview --- in that work item, the two positions are there, but the Asset one is grayed out --- so, the Manager approves only the Cost Centre positions and than the SC is no longer with the approver --- if you observe the SC now from the requisitioner point of view, the status of the line items in the approval process overview of both(!) lines is "approved", but the overall status of the SC is still "in approval"
Can you all experts plz let us know why this is happening and how this can be resolved?
Any pointers will be highly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,

Approval Process of Quotes via Workflow

Dear Experts,
I'm looking for a Workflow solution, with which I can elektronically appove a Quote. In detail it means e.g. to reales a quote, two sgnatures are mandetory. These two people should be chosen inside the quote as a partner. After Savind they should get an e-mail notification and be able to approve the quote via e-mail (Outlook) or inside SAP.
Is there a possibility to do that via workflow? How? Do anybody has some experience?
Other proposals?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Abbas

1. backup the existing Update user workflow as an xml file
2. Copy paste the same in the BPE.
3. Save the copy as a new object with a different name.
4. Edit the new workflow as follows:
4.1 Create new activity
4.2 In the new activity, add a variable with some name
4.3 create a new action, and let that action be a subprocess. For that subprocess, browse and choose 'Approval' as the action.
4.4 Add a argument as name=approvalForm and value=<name of approval form>
4.5 Include argument user=$(user), etc. (Check the original approval workflow to see what the names of the arguments are)
4.6 For return to=name of the variable declared, from=approved
4.7 Add a 'isTrue' condition for the variable declared.
5. Make the appropriate transitions, and ur ready to go.
Let me know if this helps. I can post some skeleton code tomorrow. I need to work on it. Drop a line at [email protected]

Concept Question about EDI and Error Processing

Hello All,
This is a concept question, I was wondering how others would approach this scenario.
Let's take this scenario. In EDI often the transmission for a purchase order comes in with an invalid material number. Normal error processing is for the EDI team to research the issue (find the correct matnr), edit the idoc and reprocess the Idoc. I would like to move that type of error processing out of the hands of the EDI folks and into the hands of the business users.
How would they correct the material number? It has to be more intuitive than editing an IDoc, it has to be an easy and intuitive user interface. This process has to also work for many types of EDI transmissions both inbound and outbound.
There would be many ways to handle this: create a report with an editable grid that would change the idoc during input and create the order with the corrections, convert the idoc to xml and use simple transformations, use an xsl report...etc. You get the point.
How would you approach this? Before I start the design I want to make sure I've given all the options due consideration...all options, webdynpro, transformations, regex, you name it...all is available, except there is no XI.
Personally I'm leaning towards an editable grid and processing buttons that would post the idoc in background...but I do that type of thing all the time and I may be in a rut and neglecting better design options.
Thanks for your input,
Greg

Paul: So it runs the transaction silently in BDC format, until the error occurs, then opens up in dialogue to allow the user to change the invalid material, and then continue on with processing.
This works when the processing function module uses BDC. But even then I think this is possibly nice from user perspective, but a nightmare from auditing perspective. I.e. correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure there's no log indicating that the user changed the material number. Thus for anybody comparing the IDoc contents against the posted document (including change history) there's no trail that shows this change. Of course you can assume that this is what must have happened, but I personally prefer if I can track in the system what happened and have proof for that.
Reddy:
<ol>
<li>it can be run daily basis, which should select all idocs which are in status 51 with message number (..related to wrong material number). report output should inlcude :idoc number-wrong mat no- space for new material to be entered by business against wrong 1. And there should be one button for RUN.</li>
<li>After RUN, the material number should be changed to new 1 in segments and idocs should be reprocessed.</li>
<li>repeat the run until business enter right mat num.</li>
</ol>
Design seems to limited to me (takes care only of one error message). Might work if that's the main pain point and this is the only one the user is dealing with. Otherwise I'd expect pretty soon they start complaining about having to use different tools for the possible errors. I'd keep the report more general, but allow this special form of processing only for a given error message (otherwise it's a normal re-process as triggered for example via BD87).
Also, I assume that when you talk of changing the IDoc you mean that you actually keep an original copy around (like SAP does when you edit an IDoc). Often this is required from an auditing perspective. I'm not sure why you wouldn't want to check the material number before trying to process the IDoc to avoid wasting system resources (but maybe I misunderstood the step).
Anyhow, in theory you could also achieve all of this via workflow. You can add custom columns to the work item overview in the inbox, only issue here is that it doesn't scale well (so issues with larger volumes).

Parallel workflow in Process controlled workflow

Dear experts,
could you please answer -
is it possible to use parallel worklow in the process controlled workflow?
for example, there is a requirement that all the department managers should approve the RFx document or contract.
Is it possible to simulate this process using the process controlled workflow in SRM 7.0?
It seems, that in the standard it is possible only via sequential approval - i.e. the first manager approves
the document, then it goes to the second etc.
Or all the managers receive the work item, but only one manager in fact approves it.
Both variants are not suitable.
Maybe there is another way to simulate the parallel worklow process?
There is an option called decision sets, but it can be used for shopping cart only.
Thanks a lot in advance,
Andrey Averin.

Hi,
Yes- This is possible through Process controlled workflow. I am doing a smiler kind of workflow development. like category approvers .. Category approval will split by category...but you have to build the logic such a way that read all the items and send to all the approvers.. But now i have noticed that even through all approvers will receive parallel workitem but Approver A can't open his/her workitem if Approver B is in the process of approve/reject the workitem( Meaning when he double click the workitem in detail) then Approver A will receive a Error pop up message saying that Approver B is working on this document.

Dump on screen when configuring Process controlled workflow

Hi Experts,
I am facing 1 problem in SAP SRM 7 ehp1. I am configuring Process controlled workflow. Previous workflow settings was Application controlled workflow as its been upgraded from SRM 5. If i run a RFX (BUS2200) cycle in application controlled workflow environment, it works flawlessly.
But when i change my workflow framework to process controlled workflow for all Business Objects. I face a dump when I am creating an RFX. The dump on the portal is:

Hello Anand,
As per standard SAP recommendations the application-controlled workflow framework is only intended to be used if you are upgrading from SAP SRM 5.0 or earlier and you need to continue using your existing work-flows.
The default workflow framework setting is the process-controlled workflow from SRM 6.0 on-wards and the user will be provided a option to switch to the application-controlled workflow framework. The option to switch to process-controlled workflows is available only after you have once switched to application-controlled work flows but there will be a big caution that " If you switch from the application-controlled workflow framework to the process-controlled workflow framework; once a process-controlled workflow has been run, it is not supported that you switch back to application-controlled work-flows".
As per the details given i got a feel that we have tried executing the scenario by switching between application and process controlled workflow and hence the system have become inconsistent and its dumping.
I suggest you to raise a OSS ticket to SAP to resolve the issue.
Best Regards,
Rahul
