Great Gurus
Hi to all
there are couple of things.
i am using WS00000389 ( standard workflow PR - item level release ( with classification ) . Business Object BUS2009. I copied this workflow and worked on it. At first it was not running because element Release Code ( Workflow containter ) > display . it is linked \ taken from ABAP Dic. Reference Structure RM06B Filed FRGAB . further this is linked with table T16IE. finally i conclude this is the table of Relase codes but for Release Procedure withOut Classification , whether i am thinking this release code should be linked with Release code with classifcation. Table name V_T16FC .
what is the scene behind.
to run this in Se11 , table T161E, i put the required relase codes . then it started working.
but i think is incorrect . May be i should link it with correctly. but i dont know the correct structre\table. or there is something else.
Secondly . there are three Relase codes in my PR. as soon as workflow triggers ( Workflow > Basic data > Start Events> rlease step created ) . workflow sends the Pr information to the three release codes. whether i think , at first it should send the information to first PR Approver ( first relae code ), if he\she approved it , then it should be forwarded to next PR Approver Inbox. and so on.
How we can achieve this.
Thanks for giving time.

Purchase req release through workflow

Hi all,
         i am under the process of releasing purchase req in workflow its a overall release there are two business objects for that one is bus2009 and the other is 2105 actually 2105 is for overall release but there are no attributes for that particular object if i need to add any value as expression in my mail do i need to create my own attribute or is there any other way to handle this.....
Thanks

The required value that is required for Release is Release Code. If you are using Standard Wflow then this is passed along with event only you have to make sure you have proper configuration in SPRO. The PR number gets passed automatically thu event. You can make use of Workflow Template WS00000038.
Any custom stuff you can code in Attribute but in that case you have to create a subtype of standard Business object and then code in it and then delegate it. You can delegate by
SWO1->Give Business Object Name->Settings->Delegate
Check this link for programming related to attributes

Setting up of WF - BATCH for invoices released through workflow

Hi all,
i have set up the standard workflow for the Invoice Park and post which is working perfectly for the invoices. From the inbox the invoice is released by executing the work item. when i check the invoice document, the document is not getting posted, i believe there is a need to set up the user WF-BATCH, Could any body please advise as to how to set up the WF-BATCH so that the invoices get posted in the background.
Thanks a lot in advance....

Martin,
Thanks for your reply. But, my question is, what and how can we tackle the witems that are struck.
For example, in my case, the user has already taken decision from Portal side and he got a message that the approval task was successful and the witem is gone from his UWL. But, during this time, WF-BATCH was locked and so the "Result Processing" step that was done at the end of every witem execution, didn't happen. And hence the next witem also was not generated. But, if you see the wflow log, the witem status says, "COMPLETED". But if you expand the log for this step, then only we can see that the "Result Processing" was not completed by WF-BATCH.
In this situation, will the SWPC be useful in troubleshooting the COMPLETED witems ? Pl clarify. I don't have access to SWPC right now and will definitely explore this.
My biggest concern on this is, let us say, we have somany TRIP's in the middle of the approval process and the managers have already approved from their end. But, if the WF-BATCH is locked and no one noticed for a while, then it'll be a big task to identify each of these witems and Re-process them, even with SWPC,Right ?
Please update on this.
Thanks

How does the senior person approve? using workflow or using transaction ME54N?
if it's the standrad transaction then again, use a user exit or the released event.
even if the approval is done in the workflow I would not recomend using creating the purchase order as part of the workflow since this is not a workflow issue, but if there is no other option create a new method in BUS2105 (use delegation) and call the BAPI in it.

How to Send mail woth pdf attachment through workflow

Hi SDNer's,
I have a problem with pdf attachment through workflow. Please anybody help me to get solve my issue.

Hi Suresh,
I just tried this thing in my systtem and it is working... BADI is trigerred everytime there is a change in the PO... even when you release there is a change in the PO so this BADI will be triggerred....
I suggest you should implement BADI in your dev system and place a break point in the POST method...
After that create a PO and release it using ME29N... thereafter when you save the PO... this method will trigger and you will have access to PO details...
PS: Remember this BADI wont work for transaction ME29...

Job Publication doesnt get changed data in Job Posting through workflow.

Job Publication is not picking up the changed data in the Job Posting/Requisition through workflow.
When I am changing the data in Job Posting and release it manually the changed data gets reflected in Job Publication but if I am releasing the Job Posting trough WF(automatically) then the Publication doesnt pick up the data.The workflows are working fine in the system still the problem exists.
Thanks in advance for the reply.

1-Log in portal with user id and pwd.
2-Create a requisition initially.
3-Create and release the Job posting(manually)
4-Create and release the Job Publication(manually).
5.Try editing the previous Job Posting and save it bu dont release the Job Posting manually.Now come to the personal page,when we again enter the same Job Posting ,the status of the Job Posting is set to "released" automatically by a Workflow.
6.Now if we proceed for the Job Publication and try Displaying it,the edited changes in the Job POsting is not displayed.
But if we have "released" the job posting manually then the changes are reflected in the Publication.
The user wants to use the Workflow scenario and also wants the edited changes to be taken up by the Publication.
Hope the following description helps out !
thanks in advance.

Purchase order release stratergy Workflow

Hi All,
I am using SAP standard PO rel. workflow WS200000075 using BO BUS2012.
At the first Activity - task(TS20000166) it determines Agent(receiver of workitem for releasing), through default rule(20000027), at simulation of rule it determines agent correctly, but its not doing so while we create purchase order.
At event trace I am getting error - Import Container contains error
My Question is
1. Do I have to map determined agent through Default rule to workflow container using a variable???
2. Am I missing something in the workflow to map to any container?
Kindly advise

Email Notifications through workflow for all Approved and Rejected Orders

hi,
i have to send Email Notifications through workflow for all Approved and Rejected Orders to the user who have submitted the order for approval.how could it be done.please send ur solutions.
regards
yesukannan

Hi,
An option would be use Oracle Alert. Create an event based alert on the table where you have order approvals or rejections. This alert will be raised after inserting or updating this table. Create an action linked to this alert, and choose message as action type.
This setup can be done under Alert Manager Responsibility.

Reversal of a maint. order which was released through a maintenance plan?

Hi All,
Is there a way to do reversal of a maintenance order that was released through a maintenance plan?
Because I do not want to process the order; as such I would like to put a reversal indicator for that order and go ahead with the next order that was called through a maintenance plan.
If YES, kindly let me know how to do it?
Many thanks in advance.
Kannan J

Hi Thyagarajan, Thanks for the response!
When I want to skip the maintenance call object that was generated through a plan, the system gives me the following message.
"CALL CAN NO LONGER BE SKIPPED"
When I press for further help, system gives me the following message:
"Call can no longer be skipped
Message no. IP405
Diagnosis
You have tried to skip a date that has already been called.
System Response
Since maintenance call objects, for example, maintenance orders, already exist for the dates that have been called, you can no longer skip a date within the scheduling process.
Procedure
If you do not want to perform the maintenance call objects due on that date, you must reverse the orders that have been called.
You can select the maintenance call objects that have been called using the list editing functions in maintenance processing."
Which means there should be a way to reverse the order, isn't it?
May be with this message you may be able to throw some help on this.
Many thanks in advance
Kannan J

Hi Bharat,
your steps seems to be correct. Just try to ping your mail server, to verify if your mail server is running up, besides note that mdm go throw port 25 for sending emails, so please check if you are able to send emails using port 25 in your network.

How can we create a custom worklist application and complete tasks which are assigned to a group of users ?

Can you post how you are acquiring it and how you are attempting to complete it?

Change in sender name of mail sended through workflow

Hi All,
I have requirement where we want to chage the sender name decription for mails which are going through workflow.When we send mails through send mail step in workflow it is taking sender decription name automatically as "GSAP E1B WORKFLOW SYSTEM".
I have to change this decription to "OSIRIS Invoice". Is there any way to change sender name?
We are using SENDTASKDESCRIPTION method of SELFITEM object in send mail step.
Any help on this regards will be grate help...
Regards,
Rahul

Hello Rahul,
here, the sender's name is the user's name of the background user performing this task, i.e. usually WF-BATCH.
If you do not have any other workflow scenarios running that could interfere here you could possibly just change that user's name.
Otherwise you have to re-program the sendmail step to specifically set the sender description.
Best regards,
Florin
