Process controlled Workflow is not starting

Hi,
I have problems with implementing an own process-controlled workflow. The "Sample BC Set for Process Level Definition" /SAPSRM/C_SC_600_001_SP04 is working fine. However I do not succeed in triggering a customer Process Schema for BUS2121.
The (first?) problem can be duplicated as following:
1. BC-Set /SAPSRM/C_SC_600_001_SP04 is activated
1.1 When creating a shopping card (Web Portal) a approver ("Head of organizational unit" in OrgManagement) is displayed in the Details (Approval-Workitem is created when saving the shopping cart)
--> OK
2. Deactivation of Process Schema 3C_SC_600_001 (replace Eval.IDs with customer Eval.ID which contains always false expression)
--> When creating a shopping card (Web Portal) no approval data is displayed in the Details 
--> OK
3. Copy Process Schema 3C_SC_600_001 into ZC_SC_600_001; replace customer Eval.ID with original Eval.IDs (Boole; no process schema in expression (Eval-ID 3EV_SC_600_001_100; Expression 3B_SC_600_001_100: "Execute always"))
--> When creating a shopping card (Web Portal) no approval data is displayed in the Details 
--> NOT OK; the same result as with 1.1 is expected
Why is 3. not working? Any ideas would be very welcome.
Best regards

In most cases, this means that the 'Start Process' is not configured correctly. Take a look at the following:
1. make sure that the Wf assigned to your start process is active
2. make sure that reference numbers are configured and assigned to your process
3. assign a user to receive error messages when an error occurs
Thanks,

    Hi..
       what do you see in SLG1? .. i think your process level Eval.id result is false, that is the reason workflow is not kicking of 
    1- level approval.. check your process level configure and try to use 0ev000 as a Eval.Id instead your custom Eval.Id and test..

  • SRM Process Controlled Workflow - Re-start using FM BBP_PD_SC_UPDATE

    Hi All,
    We are upgrading from SRM4.0 to SRM7.0 SP07 in classic scenario. We switched to Process Controlled Workflow.
    We have a CUSTOM application where the requisition items are entered and a Shopping Cart is created in SRM through Function Module BBP_PD_SC_CREATE. When the Shopping Cart is created in SRM , the Process Controlled Worflow is triggered successfully.
    In the custom application , we allow users to do changes to the requisition that are awaiting approval.The changes are updated in SRM Shopping Cart through function module BBP_PD_SC_UPDATE. It is noticed that the workflow process levels are not re-started after the shopping cart is updated through FM BBP_PD_SC_UPDATE.
    However , the process levels are re-started when the change is directly done to the Shopping Cart in SRM POWL. We want the process levels to be re-started even when the changes are done through BBP_PD_SC_UPDATE. The users are used do changes to the requisition through the custom application. We also noticed that system does not go through BAdI /SAPSRM/BD_WF_PROCESS_RESTART when changes are done to the SC through BBP_PD_SC_UPDATE.
    Is there any way that we can trigger process level re-start when SC is changed through FM BBP_PD_SC_UPDATE
    Thanks

    HI ,
           This is not the correct way of updating the SC. please check the below process...
           first you try to get the SC document in Edit mode and this can be done only SY-UNAME should requester of the SC or( user who are changing the SC should be in the Org structure ).  ( This point why i mentioned is you mentioned that your editing through custom application ). 
      note : use try and endtry and catch the exception when u get the SC document in Edit mode.
      DATA: lo_pdo_sc             TYPE REF TO /sapsrm/cl_pdo_bo_sc_adv.
          "Instance SC PDO Layer
          lo_pdo_sc ?= /sapsrm/cl_pdo_factory_sc_adv=>get_instance( iv_header_guid   = p_guid "ps_shopping_cart-guid
                                                                    iv_mode          = /sapsrm/if_pdo_constants_gen_c=>gc_mode_edit ).
       now you do what ever changes to the document. I mentioned points below.
            "Get Item Details
          lo_pdo_sc->/sapsrm/if_pdo_bo_sc~get_item_detail
    do changes to the items of the SC.
           "Update SC Items
          lo_pdo_sc->/sapsrm/if_pdo_bo_sc~update_items
           "Submit Update
          lo_pdo_sc->/sapsrm/if_pdo_base~submit_update
           "Save SC
          lo_pdo_sc->/sapsrm/if_pdo_base~save    
          or  order  the SC again.
          COMMIT WORK AND WAIT.

  • Approver not determined process controlled workflow in SAP SRM 7.0

    Hello all,
    I have setup process controlled workflow in SAP SRM 7.0 EHP3 for shopping cart approval.
    I have 4 approval levels.
    I have used item-based Decision for entire document because for some items i want system approval.
    In implementation of BADI /SAPSRM/BD_WF_RESP_RESOLVER, in the method /SAPSRM/IF_EX_WF_RESP_RESOLVER~GET_AREA_TO_ITEM_MAP, i am skipping the items for which i want system approval.
    Also in method /SAPSRM/IF_EX_WF_RESP_RESOLVER~GET_APPROVERS_BY_AREA_GUID of BADI implementation class, i am keeping the approver table empty for the step which i want system approval.
    For example i have 1 item in shopping cart and for 1st step, based on some accouting criteria, i want system approval for 1st level and the workitem should go directly to 2 approval step when shopping cart is ordered. This is not happening.
    But if i have multiple items, and one item should have system approval based on some criteria and the 1st approval level should be system approval and other item should go to the 1st approver. This is happening and showing 'system' approver for item1 and 'appr_xyz' for item 2.
    For shopping cart having only 1 item, If i approve the shopping cart in this state only, it doesn't go to any approver and is not usable.
    am i missing anything in BADI /SAPSRM/BD_WF_RESP_RESOLVER??
    Please let me know.

    Hi Adrian,
    Yes it is possible to display custom workflows in the Universal Worklist,  However, I am not sure what you are trying to do with a routing table.  If the workitems are of type decision, you can use UserDecisionHandler (action handler) configured in the XML file to use the Approve/Reject functionality - we are talking about webflow connector here correct?  R/3 connector?

    Hi Swati
    One of the similar (not exact) issues were resolved by correcting the event linkage....please refer thread:
    http://scn.sap.com/message/14848795#14848795
    Not sure of the details of the the resolution, maybe Ragavendran Kanagaraj can throw more light.
    Just some high level checks (if not done already):
    Check event linkage errors in SWEQADM if anything is related to your WF
    Check in SWEL if it's showing any more details (not sure if it will)
    Any warnings in syntax check of WF template (PFTC) or WF definition (SWDD)
    Any error sin binding

  • Process-controlled workflow hang due to dump

    Hi all,
    due to a temporary dump in an SRM 7 system, some document-related workflows are stucked... in other terms, these workflow processes have been started, the the dump occoured and by now, they seems to be stucked in "in process" state.
    Tecnically, these are not workflow in error, so SWI2_DIAG is not helpful.
    We'd like to unlock this situation and -eventually- restart the workflow process. How can we do it?
    Thanks in advance for your help and support.
    edit: system dump is now solved, which means, triggering the same workflow process will result in a success.
    Edited by: Matteo Montalto on Jun 30, 2011 4:34 PM

    Ok. There used to be OSS Note 1458380 - Process Controlled Workflow Restart Program, if the document is in "Awaiting Approval" Status.
    Or do the manual restart by using tcode SWUE (Event trigger)
    Object Category - ABAP Class
    Object Type - /SAPSRM/CL_WF_PDO_SC
    Event - READY_FOR_WORKFLOW
    Object Key - <DOCUMENT_GUID>
    Event Parameter - <SC Creator User ID>
    and Click "Create Event" button
    Use SWI1 to check whether the event is created and see whether the document is submitted for workflow triggering or use SWI6 to check for that SC document

  • SRM 7.0 - Process controlled workflow

    Hi,
    Landscape -  SRM 7.0 SP05
    Workflow - Porcess controlled
    Scenario - Self service procurement
    Problem:
    1. We have mulitple level approval workflow for the shopping cart. I am using standard workflow task- 40007953 and using /SAPSRM/BD_WF_RESP_RESOLVER badi to determine agents.
    2. All the potential approvers (managers) are determined correctly by this badi but the issue is work-item is sent to all the approvers at the same time where as the requirement is to sent the work-item to each approver in series i.e. only when the work-item is approved by the lower level manager, it should go to the higher level manager.  Currently, this workflow task sends the work-item to all potential approvers at one go who can start working on parallely which is not desired.
    Could anyone please help me to resolve this?
    Please note that adding additional process steps in the process-level configuration was the option but we could not opt for that at this point of development as we have gone too far in terms badi development for agent derterminiation
    Thanks & regards,
    Amit

    Amit,
      It is not possible to send the work item to people in sequence by configuring only one process level. If you have only one process level, the agent determination will only be applicable to that process level. If you are trying to assign multiple agents to that step, then all will get the work item at the same time.
    I recommend doing one thing, Create multiple process levels(= no of approval levels you want). For each process level you keep same event and expressions. But your agent determination badi implementation need to be tweaked. Here is how you can do that
    Use Parameters along with agent determnation badi implementation. In other words derive Agents based on the value of parameter using your badi implementation. This parameter can be configured in Process Controlled Workflow Configuration.
    Example,
    Process step 1 - WF_BADI - Parameter1
    Process step 2 - WF_BADI - parameter2
    Now write some code in the WF_BADI to pick up particular agent if parameter value is Parameter1 , pick another agent if parameter value is parameter2. Doing this way you wont ve to redesign your BADI implementation as you are able to break up the Agent logic based on parameter values.

  • How to make a restart of the workflow in a process controlled workflow?

    Hi Experts,
    How to make a restart of the workflow in case of process controlled workflow? Scenario is like this:
    The user has created a shopping cart with 1000 USD. The process schema has three process level with the first level being approval with completion.
    The first level being executed by the responsible purchaser. Here, the purchaser adds the source of supply and changes the price of the shopping cart 2000 USD and approve the shopping cart.
    Now, I want the approval task to start from beginning so that the requestor can know the changes and accept/reject the changes.
    Thanks and regards,
    Ranjan

    Hi,
    Restarting workflow goes to 1st level approval step. It is not requester.
    I think you need to set condition for "Acceptance by Contact Person" in Define Process Level.

    Masa

  • Acceptance by Requestor - Process control workflow

    Hi All,
    I have followed the below thread and configured the "Acceptance by contact person" BRF for status REJECTED. Now when my shopping cart is rejected , i still see the  shopping cart as awaiting approval.This is sometihng strange as i expected soomething like "In Your Inbox".  In the approval preview i can see it is awaiting acceptance from me. however i am confused as there is no acceptance button in the detail of the SC.
    do i need to go to edit mode? if i go to edit mode the SC workflow will start from the beginning as it behaves similarly  when we modify shopping cart awaiting approval .however acceptance would have deleted the shopping cart  item that were rejected and  workflow would have continued from that step onward.
    please do let me know what i am experiencing is standard or thereis something wrong ??

  • Advantage of Process-Controlled Workflow

    Good Morning!
    What are the advantage of Process-Controlled Workflow? (and/or what are the advantage of Business-Rule-Framework?)

    I am looking at a SRM 5.5 upgrade to SRM 7 and moving to PCW represents issues and risk to me. 
    The SAP Migration program /sapsrm/pr_wf_migration_cfg does not deal with the N Step Badi Wf's. 
    SAP's recommendation is to complete all active Wf's are restart with PCW which means finalising all approvals restarting Approvals using PCW from the start,
    SAP recommend ALL processes should be moved to PCW from ACW in a production environment. 
    If your trying to implement a ACW N Step Badi in PCW then you will probably be looking at Resp Resolvers that refer to a Badi implementation where you will need abap code. 
    Not sure about a flexible set of approval levels, but think that's another Badi implementation, with abap code.
    Not over impressed, I'm afraid. Better structured abap program code in the N Step BADI could be an improvement

  • Process Controlled Workflows VS Applicaiton Enabled Workflows-What to chose

    G'Day All,
    We are upgrading from SRM5.0 to SRM7.0
    There are these bespoke shopping cart approval workflows developed previously. I have to do some sort of assessment to include
    1) Why would we go for PCWs instead of just migrating the old ones in SRM 7.0 as business is pretty happy with the functionality they have got and are not interested in revising the workflow processes. Answer :  Application enabled workflows are in maintainence mode so newer functionality would be delivered using PCWs.( is there any other justification ? )
    2) Would we be able to map the existing workflow process to PCWs, here i need some pointers. I understand the PCWs are based on BRF though i don't know much about BRF( updating myself ). The key question i have is, whatever is there in bespoke workflow templates would i be able to  replicate that using this i.e. a different technology. Since my exposure to either PCWs or BRF is not great so as a general rule i am asking, is it possible or are there any sort of technical limitations on what you can and what you can't do using PCWs which you could design using a normal workflow template?
    I am sure this would be a common analysis which many of you might have done or are doing if you are involved in an upgrade.
    An Interesting Fact : There is no documentation available on existing SRM 5.0 workflows as what differently they have done to standard. The only thing i know at this stage is they have a bespoke level 1 template which call different standard templates for n level approval process. The apporval process( agent determination ) is based purely on custom logic. I am not that worried about the agent determination as i know i could get that as rule evaluation in BRF. The crux for me is to understand how BRFcontrols or connects to workflow templates in this particular case and what permutation conbinations are possible.
    So, i want to have a discussion on this and if possible some insight on all this new PCWs.
    Hope to see some valuable comments.
    Regards
    Praveen

    Hi everyone:
    My question is the following.
    We will implement SRM 7.01 with Process Controlled Workflow.
    However in the manual is the following note:
    Note: Even if you decide to use Process-Controlled Workflow in general,
    there are a few workflows still on the old technology:
    WS10400022 . Contract Alert Workflow
    WS10000192 - Approval Workflow for Internal Users
    WS10000209 - Approval workflow for new bidder/supplier     
    WS10000093/WS10000100 -Procurement Card Approval
    Probably We will required some of this.
    My question is if we are planning to configure process and application the correct strategy will be:
    1.     Start the configuration with the application controlled workflow and then
    2.     Follow with the change of the configuration application to process controlled workflow
    3.     And configure the workflowu2019s in process.
    u2022     Is there any problem when if we change the check  application to process?  Are there any chance that we loss the configuration?
    u2022     Is there any problem in the functionality that both kinds of workflow (application-process) work at the same time?
    u2022     If is possible to make change or maintenance of the application workflow?
    Thanksu2019 a lot for all the help

  • Issue in Process Controlled workflow for Shopping cart in Quality system.

    Hello All,
    I ahve configured a Process controlled workflow in SRM 7.0  with custom resolver, and I am facing an issue taht the Workflow works well in Development but in Quality the approvers are dropped after SC is ordered in Quality system.
    The SC Workflow drops the approvers picked up from the Interface  method /SAPSRM/IF_EX_WF_RESP_RESOLVERGET_AREA_TO_ITEM_MAP and IF_EX_WF_RESP_RESOLVERGET_APPROVERS_BY_AREA_GUID of BADI /SAPSRM/BD_WF_RESP_RESOLVER. The approvers can be seen in the shopping cart Approval preview Tab until the SC is ordered.
    I have compared the OSS notes relevant for Workflow, all of them have been transported, Also I compared and checked general Workflow settings, BRF Config and  Process level  settings in Dev and Quality, everything is same.
    Also while debugging; the approvers can be seen in the decision set table in the create_process_forecast method of class /SAPSRM/CL_WF_PROCESS_MANAGER.
    Kindly let me know what else i can check to find the root cause.
    Thank you in advance for help!
    Regards
    Prasuna.

    Hello Vinita;
    Thanks for the input and sorry for the not so "ASAP" reply;
    From what I'm seeing in from your 2 screenshot, i strongly believe that the problem is even before the Z implementation /SAPSRM/IF_EX_WF_RESP_RESOLVER~GET_APPROVERS_BY_AREA_GUID (in which the FM i ZSRM_GET_USER_FROM_PGRP is called. I think the problem could be in the process level determination  ZSRM_WF_BRF_0EXP000_SC_APP100. Let me explain:
    In your  cases where not buyer is determined,  in the approval tab there is not even a process level for buyer approval. If the problem were indeed in the implementation  /SAPSRM/IF_EX_WF_RESP_RESOLVER~GET_APPROVERS_BY_AREA_GUID  then the process level would be there, but the system will display, instead of the name of the buyer(if the buyer determination fails) a red label with the message:  "With the strategy "Buyer determination" an approver could not be determined (or something like that..please check the image at the end of the text)".
    I can propose a way to discard this: Implement the method /SAPSRM/IF_EX_WF_RESP_RESOLVER~GET_FALLBACK_AGENTS of class ZCL_BADI_SC_WC (in case you didn't know, in this method you can specify an "default" approver in case that the determination of approver in GET_APPROVERS_BY_AREA_GUID fails). The idea is to specify an default approval and see how it behaves:
    If the user you indicated in the method GET_FALLBACK_AGENTS appears as approver, then yes, the problem is arises from implementation GET_APPROVERS_BY_AREA_GUID, in which case it could be a data problem (peharps in pposa_bbp?). You could also check in TX SU53 with the users with this problem to see if there's a missing authorization objetc.
    If, in the other hand, the "default" approver is not shown, it means that the process level buyer determination is not even called, so you should check in more detail ZSRM_WF_BRF_0EXP000_SC_APP100 and /SAPSRM/CL_WF_PROCESS_MANAGER > Determine process restart –method ----- (i have never used this method, so i could not tell if  it could be the source of the problem).
    Also, you could implement the method GET_FALLBACK_AGENTS in this way so the default approver would be the WF administrator indicated in the customizing (or you could just append directly any user you want):
    METHOD /SAPSRM/IF_EX_WF_RESP_RESOLVER~GET_FALLBACK_AGENTS.
       DATA: lv_admin_expr TYPE swd_shead-admin_expr,
             lv_admin      TYPE swd_shead-wfi_admin,
             lv_admin_type TYPE sy-input,
             ls_agent      TYPE  /sapsrm/s_wf_approver.
       CALL FUNCTION 'SWD_WF_DEFINITION_ADMIN_GET'
         IMPORTING
           default_admin_expr = lv_admin_expr
           default_admin      = lv_admin
           default_admin_type = lv_admin_type.
       ls_agent-approver_id = lv_admin.
       APPEND ls_agent TO rt_agent.
    ENDMETHOD.
    Error of agent determination:
    Please let me know the result of the test with the implementation of method GET_FALLBACK_AGENT. By doing this we could ensure if really the problem is in method GET_APPROVERS_BY_AREA_GUID or before.  I just made the test in our system and I'm almost sure that you wont get the default approver, but i could be wrong. 
    Any question please let me know.
    Best regards

    We are implementing SRM 7.0. With the new process controlled workflow I'm not sure how to
    implement the logic of our "old" system.
    Depending on category and item value the SC item has to be approved by 0 - 7 users.
    I've created an event which finds a Z-process schema via FM.
    In the FM I've tried to change the process schema (debugger) for one SC item.
    But the schema has been changed for all items.
    Is it possible to use different process schemas for items?
    When yes how can I set the schema e.g.
    item 10 schema1
    item 20 schema1
    item 30 schema2
    item 40 schema1
    Thanks in advance for your inputs!
    Regards
    Stefan

    Hi,
    Schema Evaluation is document header level.
    There are 2 ways for implementation.
    1. Schema Evaluation returns Schema name. For example, 1 step approval, ... 7 step approval
    2. 1 Fixed Schema and 7 level evaluations. 1 Schema has 7 approval steps and each evaluation returns true or false.
    You have to implement GET_AREA_TO_ITEM_MAP method of Agent BADI to exclude/include items.
    BTW. If you set workflow framework as Application-Controlled Workflow, your old workflow logic works without any change.

  • Process Controlled Workflow - Process Schemas

    Hi
    I am configuring Process Controlled Workflow in SRM 7.0 for shopping carts. As per one of the guidance documents, I activated the BC Sets for the shopping cart in order to pull in all the component parts. As none of the three standard Process Schemas created meet my requirements I am going to create my own Schema. Please could someone explain to me how I can ensure my schema will get activated, and not say  -  /SAPSRM/C_SC_600_001_SP04?
    Many Thanks

    Hi,
    You can create custom schema definition. If you need only 1 schema, you can use constant type BRF expression.
    1. Create BRF event and Expression in transaction BRF
        BRF Event (ZEVALUATION1)
        BRF Expression (ZEXP1)  = Constant Schema name (ZSCHEMA1)
    2. Link the event and expression
    3. Customize Define Process Level
        Process Schema Evaluation = BRF Event (ZEVALUATION1)
                                                     - linked to BRF Expression (ZEXP1)  = Constant Schema name (ZSCHEMA1)
        Process Schema Definition (ZSCHEMA1)
          - based on your requirements
