Problem to trigger PO Release Workflow

Hello experts,
I am working in a workflow to release PO.For this I have copied the standard workflow template wf_po_rel(20000075).
In my custom workflow I have used RELEASESTEPCREATED
of BUS2012 object as triggring event(as like the standard workflow).
Now when I am creating a new PO the workflow is not being triggred.But I am receiving a message in my workspace inbox with title:Error in event receiver.
And the body is as given below.
Error processing following event linkage:
BUS2012 RELEASESTEPCREATED WS99900005
Following error occurred:
SWF_RUN 594
Message text:
Import container contains errors (are any obligatory elements missing?)
Event container appended as attachment.
Event linkage with errors deactivated.
Can anyone suggest what to do to recover the problem and successfully trigger the workflow.
Thanks & Regards
Manas

Hi JMB,
I have gone to SWE2 transaction in 200 client.
There I saw that the corresponding type linkage was unchecked.I double click the row and check the Linkage Activated check box and save that.After that I check the start event tab of my workflow template and that is active now.
But when I create a new PO in 200 client the workflow has not been triggred.But a message has been received in my inbox from Workflow-System...
Title:Workflow 388121 set to status ERROR
and the body like as given below..
Please repair the suspended workflow
Context Information:
ID: 388121
Work Item Text: Workflow for PO release
User: WF-BATCH
Language: E
Press 'Execute' to display the workflow that has errors.

Problem in Purchase Order Release Workflow

Hello Experts,
I am working in a workflow for releasing PO.In this workflow I have created just one activity step type to release a purchase order.Here I have taken PO(BUS2012) object as input parameter.In the activity step type I am using a custom task(TS99900011).In this task I have used BUS2012 as Business Object and SINGLERELEASE as method.Here I have used 3 terminating events of BUS2012 object.They are Released, Reset and significantly changed. I have just copied the standard task (TS20000166).
Now my activity step has four outcomes.We can see them in Outcomes tab.
1.Purchase Order Released(Cgy:External Events)
2.Not Used(Cgy:External Events)
3.Purchase Order Changed Significantly(Cgy:External Events)
4.Processing obsolete(Cgy:Internal Events).
I have set agent assignment as user Manas.
Now, when I am testing the workflow with a valid PO number as input the work item goes to my inbox for release the PO as expected.There I can release or reject the PO.But while saving after releasing or rejecting the PO the work item still remains in Workspace Inbox.Any of the four outcomes is not appropriate for the activity.
Can anybody suggest any solution to overcome the situation.
Are the external events are really helpful in developing workflow activity?Please suggest.

Hi Manas,
There is one option, where you can stop the workitem and even entire workflow.
Use Fork for parllel processing
Have a Wait step with BUS2105-Significantlychanged event and outcome to the end of workflow.
Thanks,
Sudhir.

PO Release Workflow Problem

Hello,
This is regarding PO release workflow(WS20000075).
I fail to understand as to how I can trigger workflow on realising PO
from ME29N, though using SWUS (Test Workflow) I am receving message
in the sapoffice mail.I am not really able to link the application with the workflow.
Secondly I dont understand why the second task i.e., Release Purchase Order Effected' does not trigger when I test the workflow.The message i receive is 'Please release purchase order no ....' and not 'Purchase order Released' when I test the workflow using SWUS.
Kindly advice.
Regards,
Sumit

The deactivation is happening as there is some error in the instances. Please change the settings in SWE2 for WS20000075 entry and change the field of Feedback after error as Do Not Change Linkage. The error might be due to some authorization issue please check from SWEL and analyse accordingly.
Thanks

Agent problem in Payment Release Workflow - SPRO

Hi FI PRof's,
I am using the standard workflow WS00400012 for Payment Release.I am using two level approval process.If the invoice amount is less than 20,000 it should goto approver X and if it more than that it should do for X first and then to Y.
I have assigned the agents in SPRO Customizing as follows :
WF Variant - 2000 Approval path - 0001 Level - 1 R.Amt - 10,000 Agent - X
WF Variant - 2000 Approval path - 0001 Level - 2 R.Amt - 999999... Agent - Y
I am using the standard rule 00400125 for agent asssignment.
My Problem for single level release the agent is found(X) and WF is fine.
But while two level release the responsible agent is not found..What could be the problem. Am I missing any thing in Customization.

Hi,

I can't check it since I don't have access to a SAP system here, but don't you have to define the first-level approvers separately for the two scenarios? Perhaps my memory is incorrect, but I seem to remember that you can have one first-level approver for the low amounts, and a different first-level approver for the high amounts.
This is mostly a chore that just requires additional maintenance since it seems "everyone" is using the same first-level approver independent of amount, but flexibility is highly regarded in SAP...

Idoc will trigger after purchase order release workflow

Hi Workflow Guru,
I have a requirement to configure Purchase Order release workflow. I am configure the same its working fine, but my client requirement is when the purchase order finaly release one IDOC will be trigger and the document will send to other system. We have PI for Interface.
I want to add new activity step in my workflow template to trigger a Idoc after final release.
Please give me a idea , how to do this.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Ranjan

Hello,
Use the standard IDoc LOIPRO01. Have a look at program RCCLORD. use it in the method of the business object you are using.
You'll need to configure the idocs and partner profiles as normal.

To trigger Overall release for PR workflow (WS20000077)

Hi,
I want to know that how can i trigger overall release for PR workflow ( WS20000077 ) of BUS 2105.
rightnow in my system workflow WS0000038 is activated & when i perform ME51N it is triggred perfectly. and in SWEL BUS2009 is triggered, but it wont trigger BUS2105.
So how can i trigger BUS2105 & instead of BUS2009, so it will trigger WS20000077 workflow.
Which seetings needs to be done in SPRO, so it will trigger BUS2105?
And please give me some idea about overall release for PR workflow & item level release for PR workflow.
Regards,
Smit

Hello,
Right now, the release strategy is configured item-wise for the PR and so the business object BUS2009 is triggered. To make the release of PR from Item-wise to overall, please make the following configurations in SPRO
SPRO -> MM -> Purchasing -> Purchase Requisition -> Define Document Types and check the 'OvrelReq' checkbox and then
SPRO -> MM -> Purchasing -> Purchase Requisition -> Release Procedure-> Procedure with classification->Set Up Procedure with Classification and maintain the Release Groups by checking the 'OvrelReq' checkbox.
Once these configurations are done, first check whether the event 'RELEASESTEPCREATED' is published in the system from the event log(SWEL). Once an entry is found,deactivate the linkage between template WS0000038 and activate the linkage of the template WS20000077 which is for the BO BUS2105.
Hope this will help.
Thanks,
Samson

Problems to trigger workflow in Trip Request Creation

Hi masters,
I am having problems to trigger a workflow for Travel Requests in FI-TV module. When I save a Trip Request and go to SWEL transaction, there is a message saying: "No recipient found" or something like this. I am not finding anything to solve this problem.
Anyone can help me?
Thank you very much!!!
Diogo...

Hello,
"No recipient found" means an event had no matching workflow in SWE2.
Look in SWEL to see which event you're actually generating and then look it up in SWE2 to see if there is a matching workflow for that object/event combination.

Issue in PO Release Workflow WS20000075

Hi All,
We have activated Std. PO release Workflow WS20000075 for two step release levels. When New PO created with release strategy this workflow will trigger and send workflow items to Agents to release Purchase Order. Up to this it's working fine.
But the problem occurs to trigger Workflow again after PO price change. We have release change indicator with 5% variance of price. That means when some one changes the Price or Quantity and if the total values variance more than 5% of price variance then Release strategy will activate again in PO. But in this case Workflow WS20000075 not sending workflow items again to the agents.
Is there any workflow setting causing the issue?

Hi Sivaparvathy ,
As far I can understand in SWEL event trace for the second time the event is getting triggered but there is no appropriate receiver for that event. Can you please specify the event name. If it is any event other than RELEASE for eg lets say if it is CHANGE, in the workflow WS20000075 header you will have to bind the workflow with this event and activate linkage for this particular event as well(without changing the previous configuration for PO release event). So that the workflow is triggered for this event as well..
Hope this helps
Regards
Anik

The task TS20000166 in PO release workflow( WS20000075 ) is not terminating

Dear Experts ,
The task TS20000166 in PO release workflow( WS20000075 ) is not terminating after release the PO .
In the WS20000075 ,the event RELEASESTEPCREATED is triggeing and move to the next step.The next step is 'Release of purchase order' , the task TS20000166 is not terminating after release of PO .So Workflow is not move to next step i.e TS20000168.
I have noted TS20000166 is having three terminating event ( RELEASED,RESET,SIGNIFICANTLYCHANGED ) but still it is not terminating.
Is it Clear.If you want more details please let me know .Please help me.
Thanks and Regards
Rajesh

Dear Raj,
Please check agent assignment. And also check graphical mode error and check how many events fire one after one. Because for rejecting there is one more workflow u have to activate but i dont think so u have to activate it after realease . In agent assign ment check workflow with normal agent assignment dont use release stretargy then check it again if it is working fine then it must be problem of agent assignment step.

PO release workflow - regarding.

Hello !
   I am into the development of PO release workflow.
   I use custom task for releasing the purchase order(BUS2012-SINGLE RELEASE).
   I have configured RELEASE STEP CREATED and CHANGED event to trigger the workflow
   When purchase order is created, workflow triggers via RELEASE STEP CREATED event and go to the first approver.When first approver has released, the work item goes to second approver via CHANGED event and not via RELEASE STEP CREATED.
   Following are terminated events , I have configured :
WIOBJECT_ID     BOR Object Type     BUS2012     RELEASED     Purchase Order Release PO
WIOBJECT_ID     BOR Object Type     BUS2012     RELEASESTEPCREATED     Purchase Order Release Step Created
   Please suggest how to make the workflow to re-trigger via RELEASE STEP CREATED instead of CHANGED event once the first approver have released it.
Thanks and regards,
S.Suresh

Hello Gautam Maini !
             Thank you so much for your reply.
             I have already activated RELEASESTEPCREATED event at SWEC.
             The problem I face is that the work item of first agent does not completes though the PO is released.I have configured terminating event as RELEASED.Due to buffer problem or some other reason, the terminating event's binding properties looks so contradictory.I have posted the screen shot of the same at
http://img19.mediafire.com/205f136394986473f8b76798935c80b1f5794a496734421d23384bb33713f8886g.jpg
             In the table , SWFDEVINST, RELEASED event and SIGNIFICANTLY CHANGED event is updated after the PO release by first agent.
              Once the PO is released by first approver , CHANGED event gets fired instead of RELEASED event.(observed at SWEL).
              At workflow log, I get message as follows :
                          Message Text         Execution interrupted
                          Exception                0
                          Error Type               0
                          Area                 SWF_RUN
                          Message                611
              Please suggest solution for the problem for which I will be grateful.

Payment Release Workflow

Hi Folks,
         We are working on Payment Release workflow in AR module.
         Once the invoice is posted, workflow is able to block the payment, but not sending mails to the agent for approval.
         For testing, i have entered a dummy userid as the agent and checking for the mails.
         How can we debug or monitor to check why the agent is not getting mails in SBWP.
         Pls suggest how to solve the problem.
Thanks in advance,
Shyam.

Hello,
Okay, let me correct that for you:
"We are working on Payment Release workflow in AR module.
Once the invoice is posted, workflow is able to block the payment, but not sending WORKITEMS to the agent for approval.
For testing, i have entered a dummy userid as the agent and checking for the WORKITEMS.
How can we debug or monitor to check why the agent is not getting WORKITEMS in SBWP.
Pls suggest how to solve the problem."
Have you looked in SWI5 to see if it is listed for the user there? Check that there are no excluded agents.
The solution is likely that you haven't set the task to General Task, as already suggested.

Event Linkage Getting Disabled In PO release Workflows : Plz help

hi all
i am working on PO Release Workflow
my problem is when I create PO and save it , the event linkage in SWETYPV gets disabled
plz help me its urgent.
regards
ravish

Hi
If you have an error in the event linkage (could be a binding error, or an error in your business object), the event linkage will deactivated (the standard customizing).
You can change this behavior through transaction SWE2 -> double click on your event linkage -> change the "Behavior Upon Error Feedback". (I think you can change this globally but I'm not quite sure where)
In my book best practice here will be;
1. Use the event queue
2. Set the "Behavior Upon Error Feedback" flag to something like "Keep linkage but flag as having an error" - I'm not on the system so I'm not quite sure what it's called
By doing this you make sure that you will collect your event in the event queue, in case of an error.
or
In the detail screen of SWETYPV there's an option called Bahaviour upon error in receiver, if you change this to option 3 then the linkage won't be disabled in cases of errors.
Sometimes you want the event linkage to be disabled in cases of errors, espescially when the only reason that an error can occur is a very serious one.
