PR Release with user decision

Hi Experts,
I have done PR Release WorkFlow and it is working fine and i am also using RSWUWFML2 program to send the workitem to external mail so that on clicking the shortcut it takes to the release screen. But they further need an enhancement of only button (like user decision ).
How can i replace PR release screen with user decision step type . In user decision i am not able to pass release code in standard activity.
1) Release
2) cancel
3) Reset
Regards,
Hari

If I'm right, you are trying to replace the approval activity with a std decision step. If yes, then there is no need to pass on the release code to this decision step, the rel code is passed on to the WF as std, now once the user clicks on approve, the approve branch will become effective now add a bck grd activity to release the PR using std FM's. similarly apply for the other branches.

Issue with User decision handler in UWL

Hi Friends,
I am facing an issue with user decision hander in UWL. We have modified the XML file to show up the comments box to enter the rejection reason, this is working fine with two approval tasks already but the same thing is not working now with a new task id. In the back end(R/3) everything is the same for both the tasks, in the Portal side my portal consultant says the same. But we were not able to figure out the issue. I even created a new task and tried to use implement the handler changes, but still it is not working. Please advice what could be the issue

Hi,
can you elaborate what the issue, what do you mean by not working. you are not getting the reason box, or it's giving error,something like that.
Hope we'll be more clear then about your requirement.

You can get the user name from table VBAK-ERNAM Pass the sales order number in to VBAK-VBELN
> 2. User name who has released sales order from credit block.

From the report RSSCD100 enter the object class as VERKBELEG and T code as VKM3 and execute
Or You can use the table CDHDR

SAP Standard Workflow for PR Release (with user exit)

Hi SAP WF Gurus,
Good day!
I just wanted to check with you if you have ever used a user exit in the activation of the standard workflow for PR (overall ( release. What we have is a two0step approval process wherein each level has a proxy/alternate approver. We used the available user exit to accommodate this customer requirement since the standard release would only allow us to define 1 approver as a prerequisite for the next level. We were able to execute this on the first level approval; however, we observed that the workflow is not anymore triggered (i.e. does not send work items to agents) for the level 2 release. My questions therefore are:
1. How to set up SWEC? I already executed SWELS and SWEL to check if the events are being created and event linkage is automatically deactivated after running into an error regarding the binding...My initial SWEC setup is for BANF BUS2105 RELEASED On Change. I am assuming that since the workflow was released from the first level, this should be the starting point
2. How to rectify the binding error? I already executed automatic binding in the WF header for the start events but still face it
Your inputs/comments are most welcome
Regards,
DeLo

Just to add:
The error that I am encountering in the second run/cycle for the PR approval workflow is Import container contains errors (are any obligatory elements missing?)
Basically, WS20000077 will be executed if an approval level is seen. Once the approval is made, then the workflow is also completed. However, for multiple approvers, I only get to execute successfully the first level approval. The succeeding levels are encountering errors as stated above

List of pending workitem ids with user decision step

Hi Experts,
Is there any fucntion module that gives the list of pending workitems in sap inbox with their workitemids ?
Thank You,
Radhika.

Hi Radhika,
I think SAP_WAPI_CREATE_WORKLIST fm will help you.
Give the user name for whom you want to know the pending workitems as input parameter.

"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

Attaching HTTP Links for User Decisions?

hi all,
how can we attach HTTP Links along with User Decisions. i have previously attached Business Objects as links along with approve/reject button but this time I need to attach a HTTP link.
Points will be awarded.

hi ravi,
the basic requirement for me is that the frontend is going to be Webdynpro Pages controlled with a workflow in the backend. say if a personnel submits a form, it has go to the person's manager for approval.
So while approving it, if incase he wants to see the approval information, he would click on the URL which comes with the User Decision. this is the precise requirement.
Regarding Javascript code, where can we write the java code for URL's. is there any standard template which follows the same requirement.

Create Condtition with Step User Decision

Hello All,
I create a workflow for the approval of Purchase Order using the step user decision which works fine. But in my configuration, i have 2 release strategies, one is for approval of Purchase Order with sum lesser than 250,000 while the other strategy is for approval of Purchase Order with sum greater than 250,000. Due to this release strategy, i created a condition step (Using container of net price) before the user decision step, which has a false and a true branch. But for every time i create a Purchase Order, only the false branch gets triggered.
How do i create this condition and where should it fall, bearing in mind that my start event is the creation of release step of BUS2012
Thanks for anticipated help.

Hi,
I think along with the condition check on Net price ,you should also do a condition check on the release code triggered from T16FS and place this combined check correctly before the user decision step.I think it should work.
SELECT SINGLE FRGGR FRGSX FRGZU FROM EKKO INTO WA_EKKO WHERE EBELN EQ PONUMBER.
IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
*Get the Release code FRGC1 and FRGC2 as maintained in T16FS
    SELECT SINGLE FRGC1
                  FRGC2
           FROM   T16FS
           INTO   WA_T16FS
           WHERE FRGGR = WA_EKKO-FRGGR
           AND    FRGSX = WA_EKKO-FRGSX.
    IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
      CASE WA_EKKO-FRGZU.
        WHEN ' '.
          RELCODE = WA_T16FS-FRGC1.
        WHEN 'X'.
          RELCODE = WA_T16FS-FRGC2.
      ENDCASE.
    ENDIF.
ENDIF.

I need your help with a decision to use iPhoto. I have been a PC user since the mid 1980’s and more recently have used ACDSee to manage my photo images and Photoshop to edit them. I have used ProShow Gold to create slideshows. I am comfortable with my own folder and file naming conventions. I currently have over 23,000 images of which around 60% are scans going back 75 years. Since I keep a copy of the originals, the storage requirements for over 46,000 images is huge. 180GB plus.
I now have a Macbook Pro and will add an iMac when the new models arrive. For my photos, I want to stay with Photoshop which also gives me the Bridge. The only obvious reason to use iPhoto is to take advantage of Faces and the link to iMovie to make slideshows. What am I missing and is using iPhoto worth the effort?
If I choose to use iPhoto, I am not certain whether I need to load the originals and the edited versions. I suspect that just the latter is sufficient. If I set PhotoShop as my external editor, I presume that iPhoto will keep track of all changes moving forward. However, over 23,000 images in iPhoto makes me twitchy and they are appear hidden within iPhoto. In the past, I have experienced syncing problems with, and database errors in, large databases. If I break up the images into a number of projects, I loose the value of Faces reaching back over time.
Some guidance and insight would be appreciated. I have a number of Faces questions which I will save for later.

Bridge and Photoshop is a common file-based management system. (Not sure why you'd have used ACDSEE as well as Bridge.) In any event, it's on the way out. You won't be using it in 5 years time.
Up to this the lack of processing power on your computer left no choice but to organise this way. But file based organisation is as sensible as organising a Shoe Warehouse based on the colour of the boxes. It's also ultimately data-destructive.
Modern systems are Database driven. Files are managed, Images imported, virtual versions, lossless processing and unlimited editing are the way forward.
For a Photographer Photoshop is overkill. It's an enormously powerful app, a staple of the Graphic Designers' trade. A Photographer uses maybe 15% to 20% of its capability.
Apps like iPhoto, Lightroom, Aperture are the way forward - for photographers. There's the 20% of Photoshop that shooters actually use, coupled with management and lossless processing. Pop over to the Aperture or Lightroom forums (on the Adobe site) and one comment shows up over and over again... "Since I started using Aperture/ Lightroom I hardly ever use Photoshop any more..." and if there is a job that these apps can do, then the (much) cheaper Elements will do it.
The change is not easy though, especially if you have a long-standing and well thought out filing system of your own. The first thing I would strongly advise is that you experiment before making any decisions. So I would create a Library, import 300 or 400 shots and play. You might as well do this in iPhoto to begin with - though if you’re a serious hobbyist or a Pro then you'll find yourself looking further afield pretty soon. iPhoto is good for the family snapper, taking shots at birthdays and sharing them with friends and family.
Next: If you're going to successfully use these apps you need to make a leap: Your files are not your Photos.
The illustration I use is as follows: In my iTunes Library I have a file called 'Let_it_Be_The_Beatles.mp3'. So what is that, exactly? It's not the song. The Beatles never wrote an mp3. They wrote a tune and lyrics. They recorded it and a copy of that recording is stored in the mp3 file. So the file is just a container for the recording. That container is designed in a specific way attuned to the characteristics and requirements of the data. Hence, mp3.
Similarly, that Jpeg is not your photo, it's a container designed to hold that kind of data. iPhoto is all about the data and not about the container. So, regardless of where you choose to store the file, iPhoto will manage the photo, edit the photo, add metadata to the Photo but never touch the file. If you choose to export - unless you specifically choose to export the original - iPhoto will export the Photo into a new container - a new file containing the photo.
When you process an image in iPhoto the file is never touched, instead your decisions are recorded in the database. When you view the image then the Master is presented with these decisions applied to it. That's why it's lossless. You can also have multiple versions and waste no disk space because they are all just listings in the database.
These apps replace the Finder (File Browser) for managing your Photos. They become the Go-To app for anything to do with your photos. They replace Bridge too as they become a front-end for Photoshop.
So, want to use a photo for something - Export it. Choose the format, size and quality you want and there it is. If you're emailing, uploading to websites then these apps have a "good enough for most things" version called the Preview - this will be missing some metadata.
So it's a big change from a file-based to Photo-based management, from editing files to processing Photos and it's worth thinking it through before you decide.

Sending Mail with attachment like User Decision

Hi,
Is there any way to send the document attached with the send mail step ? In User Decision, we can use binding between the workflow and task and document is attached. Like wise, is there any method ??
I know we can send the attachment using the FM SO_****. So don give that answers. I want to know without using the FM, is it possible or not ?
And i don want to use BO SOFM.
For example, in Project Definition, one person creates a milestone. WF is triggered and goes for attachment of concorrence note. One attaches the concorrence note and mail is send to initiator. In that mail, can he able to see the attachment ??

As far as I know the answer is "probably". You aren't saying how the mail is sent to initiator, you just say you don't want to use the FM or the BOR object type SOFM. I assume you are using the standard sendmail step type, i.e. BOR object type SELFITEM with method SendTaskDescription.
As I am sure you can imagine, an attachment doesn't magically appear. If you send a workflow step (task) to someone, you can bind attachments to make them available in work item display. If you send a message you can construct it with attachments, but that doesn't happen without any effort. If you look at the parameters for SendTaskDescription you will see that there is a parameter for attachments. Try passing (binding) a value to it. If your SendMail task doesn't include that parameter as importing parameter you will of course have to fix your task (TS object) first.

User Decision with Secondary Method

Dear All,
I have created a user decision step for Leave Request workflow (ie. to approve or reject ).
This is done for multiple approvals of leave request through UWL i.e. user can select multiple requests & take decisions(approve/reject).
In the user decision step, i want to use a method other than standard task TS00008267.
In the methods tab i have used Secondary Method,
Object Category as Class
Obj.Type as CL_PT_REQ_WF_ATTRIBS
Method DUMMY.( as per the standard workflow - WS12300111).
But no value is returned by this method. How can binding be done here so as to use the values in further steps??
Please help.
Regards,
Vidya

Hey it is very easy to know whetehr the leave is approved or not. and even you can get this decision into the workflow container
No need of using any secondary methods SURE
See the step Approval in the Leave workflow will use Dummy method of that class that you have mentioned.
Your staus is updated in the REQ container element of the workflow , it is the that you mentioned, in that class you have a attribute with name Status whe you approve it will be changed to Approved when the leave is created it will be Sent , so by using a Condition step check this attribute value if it is approved then in update one conatiner element by using Container operation step.

Workflow user-decision mail with Approve & Reject button to Outlook.

Hi All,
Requirement: To send a mail with Approve & Reject buttons to outlook inbox.
Approach: I have used the user-decision step in the workflow and the approve, reject buttons are displayed . As far as solution in SAP inbox is concerned, it is solved.
However the requirement is to show the mail with the buttons in the outlook mail.
Resolution Required For: to show the mail with the buttons in the outlook mail. I am new to workflows sending mail to outlook inbox. Is there any way to do this using ABAP developments.
Thanks for your time.
Best Regards,
Goutham.

Hi,
If you are on ECC 5.0 or above, you can use the Extended Notif. for achieving this.
How are you getting the Outlook mail ?. If you already have Extn.Notif, then do the following :
1. In Transaction SWNCONFIG,for your Scenario and Category,
in the Subscription Basis Data -->Subscription Settings,
Set the parameter SHOW_ACTION_DECISION_AS as "LINK"
This will give you the options of your user decision as LInks in Outlook mail.
There is lot of material in this forum for Extended Notif. if you search.
Hope this helps.

How to integrate outlook with notification in user decision

Hi experts,
   there are notification/latest end/requested start... tabs in step type 'user decision' of workflow.
   But these messages are sent to workflow inbox and now i want to sent these messages to outlook.
   For notification i could use function module 'SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1' to achieve this.
   But how could i achieve latest end/requested start with 'SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1'.
After some research i find that 'extented notification' seems could reach this.
Any advice on this requirement and is 'extented notification' ok for this requirement ?

Hi Gang LI,
Using 'SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1' you can send notification amisl to a user. But user decisions are used to send workitems to user to take action on. These have deadline monitoring activated to take care of missed deadlines for the task.
Please explain if you need to send workitems to the users.

Saumya

Release strategy: User should release only with his highest release code

Hello,
Because of personel absences we want to configure the release strategy so that:
User A or user B releases in the normal case the first level of a PO (with release code 01).
User C (Manager) releases after release code 01 with release code 02.
User A is deputy of user C. In this case user B will release with code 01 and user A will release with code 02.
Because user A can use depending of the case release code 01 or 02 (C deputy) it must be avoided that user B sets release code 01 and 02 for the same purchase order.
Do you know about a solution for this issue
Br
Manuel

Dear W1N,
But the systems knows that A released with code 01 and when A tries to release with code 02 the system knows that the same person of release code 01 is trying with release code 02.
<b>The aim is to avoid the second release from the same person and not to automate the release strategy.</b>
In such a case A has to cancel the release for code 01 (ME28) and wait until B is reachable to do the release of code 01.
When C is absent A knows that his task is to release code 02.
Is this check really not possible?
Best regards
Manuel
