PO release strategy workflow

Hi,
I have two queries,
1)How to identify the very first started main workflow and sub-workflow  created for different level off approvers. Bcoz i need to create one activity only in before first level approval(Not for all approval).
2)I used "append to table" option binding in order to get all approvers.Each i am getting approver from '&_WORKITEM.EXECUTEDBYADDRESS.NAME&' .This field has value but its not appended to container field created(Same data type only diff multi line element).
Please kindly provide your valuable suggestion.
If you need any more information,please let me know.
Advance Thanks,
Ragavendran.

Hello,
1) You mean to say, you need to run activity step for only first approver. What you can do is, Check Release
   Status field in ekko table. If it is blank then only run your activity step. else dont run it.
   If it is blank it means no approver has yet approved. if first level has approved it, it will became X. If second
   level approves it it will became 'XX'
2) You cant do binding of "variable" with "multi line container". Binding should be between variable of similar type.
Thanks

    Attaching a file isn't a problem; finding it is. Maybe you would get a better/quicker answer at another SDN forum (SRM?).

    I also got message like 'release of purchase order transferred to buffer'.

    Hi,
    In QA
    1) Go to SWU3 check Workflow Configuration Done or not
    2) Execute the workflow in SWUS and check it
    3) If it working, test the workflow it via T.code SWUE, If not working then workflow is deactivated
    4) You have to move the Workbench Transport Request first,  then you have to Move customizing Transport Request.

  • PO release strategy workflow based on plant

    Hi Gurus,
    I am setting up PO release strategy workflow.  We have purchasing at plant level.  Fg. plant 1234's PO should be sent to the plant 1234's purchasing dept.  Plant 5678's PO should be sent to the plant 5678's purchasing dept.  In PR release strategy workflow config. screen, there is a plant field.  However, plant field is not showing in the PO release strategy workflow screen.  they are both in the table T16FW, and plant field is define in the table.  Pls help and explain how we can get plant field in the PO release strategy workflow config.  Or if this is what SAP design, then is there any other way to accomplish what we want?  Thanks a lot!

    We have one requirement where PO Release should trigger if amout of PO is greator then PR value. Let me know how this can be achived as I understand that both have different communication structure like CEKKO & CEBAN.
    Hi,
    You can try doing it with a WorkFlow as you identified communication structures differ.

  • PO Release strategy workflow configuration

    Hi All,
    I am doing PO release strategy workflow configuration in PFTC, Please tell me in this which all configurations come in workbench transport request and which all come in automatic transport request.
    Please guide me
    Thanks in advance

    The PR WS00000038 standard Workflow is very simple, you don't have to create a new one, it works, the think is that you need to make some configs in the SPRO
    spro
    Material Management/Purchaising/Purchase Requisition/ Release Procedure / Procedure With Clasification / Set up procedure with classification/ Workflow
    In this config you need to add the: Release Group / release code / object type( US for user id's) / and the User. You have to add one line for each release code that you configured in your release strategies.
    After that you have to review the linkage table Tcode: SWETYPV, find the object type BUS2105 and activate the linkage for the event releaseStepCreated, in this you will see the WS00000038.
    Now you can start to testing the notifications in the inbox(SBWP) for the configured users using the me51 tcode.

  • Release Strategy/Workflow for MB21 Reservation

    Hello Gurus,
    I know as per Standard SAP it is not possible to have a release strategy/workflow for MB21, but if any of you have come across this requirement where material reservation should be approved by related dept heads before the material is issued for those reservations, please reply back with the possible options to configure release strategy or work flow for MB21 even thru development or any other work around.
    Your expertise advises will be very helpful for me to work around this requiremnt.
    Thanks in advance, looking forward for your reply

    Hi Anoop,
    Reservations in SAP is just a logical value, which does not have any impact on any stock type. It would be interesting to know why the business needs approval process for reservations.
    Anyways even if you need approval process, what you have to do is develop a custom object, where in when ever the business creates a MB21 reservation, assign a unique number to each reservation number.
    As a dept head, the business will run the ZMB21, checks the reservation to which he needs to approve. In the back groud call up the unqiue id assigned and place approve button where in dept head can approve the same.
    The authorization to this custom tcode should be given as per your requirement.
    Hope this helps

  • PR Release Strategy Workflow

    Hi All,
    I am working on PR release strategy workflow.
    I have developed a custom workflow in which i m using a custom method to release the PR based on some conditions. Workflow is working fine. But the PR is not released. I am not able to track why is it happening?
    actually initially i am using bus2009 and later in a task that calls this custom method i am using zbus2009 to call this custom.
    I think the data i.e; is not being sent to the method container. I tried, but didnt succeed
    Can anyone help me in fixing it?
    Thanks,
    Raj

    Is the Method working when you are Testing the Method from SWO1 with the data you have used in the Workflow instance.
    If yes then it is a problem of Binding. Please check whether the parameters are properly binded. Please make sure that the Buiness object that you are using is the same for the method for whose BO you are calling. Analyse the Workfow Log from SWIA and it will solve your issue.
    Thanks

  • Purchase order release strategy Workflow not working

    Hi All,
    I am working on PO Approval release strategy and it is not working fine . The release strategy set up is configured by my functional consultant . I just copied the standard workflow template WS20000075 and making changes to my custom workflow template . When ever po is created an event "RELEASESTEPCREATED" get triggered and the first approver receives an workitem and when he approves it goes to Second Approver and it is working fine . But when rejected then a notification email goes to initiator . Now when an initiator login into ME22N and made any changes ( even material text change ) in it then again "RELEASESTEPCREATED" event getting triggered . But I need to trigger my workflow only when there is change in PO Net value .
    Kindly help me how to achieve this functionality .
    Thanks and regards
    Dilip

    Hi Vikram,
    There is already an existing entry for BUS2012 with event CHANGED against the change doc EINKBELEG .
    Acutlly when login as initiator and try to change PO through ME22N here are my observations :
    case 1:   When Buyer click on  " Cancel Reject " button and do any changes ( even text change ) then RELEASESTEPCREATED and CHANGED events  are triggering  . But since the event linkaged is set to RELEASESTEPCREATED workflow get restarted again.
    Even the CHANGE event does'nt have 'RELEASECODE' as parameter to restart workflow .
    Case 2:  When Buyer doesn't click on " Cancel Rejection" buttion and do any changes then only CHANGE event get triggered
    which do nothing since there is no event linkage .
    Is to  click on " Cancel Reject" button mandatory ? .  But even though we make " Cancel Reject"  as Button mandatory then RELEASESTEPCREATED Button triggering for any change but we need to trigger it for only net Value change .
    Thanks and regards,.

  • Purchase Order Release Strategy Workflow

    Dear SDNers,
    I created a custom workflow to trigger workflow when PO created. This workflow send mails to portal for approval to approve the release stratagies of purchase order.
    From portal side its working fine. Once the approval approves, user decision step going to next level. every thing is fine from portal side.
    But if they go for R3 side to release PO at ME29N, here facing probelm
    Suppose, Workitem is waiting at level1. Approver1 recieves used decission step at portal. But by logging into R3 system and release PO, the workitem which is at approver1's inbox has to vanish from his inbox. Its not happening now.
    What I hav to do. Kindly let me knwo.
    Thanks in advance,
    Regards,
    Venkat

    Hi Venkat,
    Two things you should change here:
    1. The Event that triggers your workflow should be BUS2012(RELEASESTEPCREATED). This event occurs when a release strategy is activated for a PO due to various reasons.
    2. You workflow should have a 1 : 2 fork . One path (fork path) should follow the User Decision path using a portal and the other should be a asynchronous workitem with the following 3 as terminating events:
          BUS2012         RELEASED
          BUS2012         RESET
          BUS2012         SIGNIFICANTLYCHANGED
    The workitem can be with or without agent.
    This should help you.
    Regards

  • Import container contains errors issue for Release Strategy workflow

    Hello Experts,
    I have copied the standard workflow WS20000075 for PO approval on Release step.
    the copied workflow works fine in sandbox system, but in the test system I get an error saying 'import container contains errors (are any obligatory elements missing?)' I guess 'ReleaseCode' is not getting passed to the Workflow from the PO creation T-code.
    I went thru few SCN post, did check all the Linkages as said, everything seems to be ok. but still cannot trigger the workflow.
    need guidance as to where I may be going wrong.
    Regards,
    Jibran

    Hi Jibran
    If the WF is working in sandbox, it means that your definition, linkages etc are correct.
    Please check if the following note is relevant for you or not:
    1770720 - PO workflows run into error SFW_RUN594 - Import container contains errors
    It's about correcting the settings in SWEC and SWE2 (correct for your custom workflow definition)
    If not, then confirm with your MM consultant if the release strategy is configured correctly or not....take hints from the following SCN thread:

  • About PO Release Strategy Workflow : WS20000075

    Hi,
    I want a workflow for PO release strategy. I believe that there is a standard workflow WS20000075 for the same.
    But I am unable to use it.
    I am not a functional guy and there is no one else to assist.
    Can somebody tell me how I should go about?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    WS20000075 this std. Workflow for the PO this has multiple levels of approvals, Depends on the no. of approvals it will flow.
    The approver can be picked using the User Exit M06E0005 (EXIT_SAPLEBNF_001 - User Exit ZXM06U51), here you have to write logic to pick the Approver.
    The approval workitem comes to SAP Inbox, once the approver click the workitem it will open the Transaction, there the user can approve.
    To see the status of the Workflow, Go to ME23N, in the top left a button, Service Object, click on that, a drop down appear in Workflow > Workflow Overview, you can see the status here.

    2)  Normally the spool is saved in the ID of the person who has done the final release.

  • PO Release strategy Workflow issue

    Hi All Workflow Experts,
                                         I need a help in one of the workflows in our project.The workflow is for PO Release Strategy.The problem is in the Production environment and is as mentioned below:
    ''Users are complaining of  irrelevant mails with subject "PRD: PO auto release code"  delivered to their lotus notes inbox from SAP workflow.  Mail does not carry any further details like whats the PO number etc. In some cases this mail should not be delivered to the recipients as they have nothing to do with PO release strategy approval process.''
    As I am not very old in Workflows I want to know where should I start from? I mean what all are the possible
    areas where I should look into? Also this issue cannot be replicated in QA environment? So is there any environment specific thing I should do?
    Please advice.
    Thanks,
    Saket.

    Hi Saket,
    Check who are set as the Recipient types of the workflow mail "PRD: PO auto release code". Also check the condition when the mail is getting send. Check at occurance of what event is the mail getting send to the users. Debug the workflow to fidn out these details and check where the issue really is.
    Do post your comments if you find any confusion about the same.

  • Purchase Release Strategy - Workflow

    Hello Everyone,
    We have a Purchase Release strategy with workflow. We have an Issue with workflow lying with a approver. Sice the approver is on vacation, is there any way to forward the work item to another user or to automate such scenatio in SAP?
    Thanks in advance
    Uswin

    Hi Guys, thanks for your reply.
    The concern here is we have the release strategies already defined & in the normal cases we don't want either User1 or User2 to approve the workitem. We want User1 to approve all the requests. Only in case of exemption, we want to have alternate user to action the request.
    Anyway to do it?

  • Release Strategy-Workflow

    Hello SAP gurus,
    I have created a reIease strategy XY having F1 code assigned to 3 persons &  F2 code to 2 persons.
    Now in sap workflow ,there is provision of intimation to the one person only thru sap workbench.I want to intimate all 3 persons thru SAP workbench under release code F1
    How can i do that?
    Please help

    Only possible with one requisition approve per level - if you like all 5 to approve you need 5 levels in the strategy.
    You can have multiple approvers on each level - e.g. for back-up. Give them all same role (e.g. F1) and maintain the persons in PPOME for receiving mail about e.g. requisitions ready for approval.

    Hi Hima,
    please follow the below steps.
    1. Go to swo1 and create new custom BOR based on BUS2105 and create one event name as "Create" then delegate the custom BOR to super type.
    2. Goto SWEC and link your BOR and change document.
    3. Then use the BOR2105 in your basic data of WF with create event.
    4. Then create a Function module rule in PFAC transaction based on your condition.
    5. In your work fow create a "User decision" step type and then give the rule number here.
    So at runtime based on your condition the work item will goes to respective agents.
    Im not explian elobrate here. Any way if you have any douts let me know.
    Thanks.
