Process flow with BAPIs

Hi experts,
as we will try to built the Travel management in SAP CE, we want to trigger the whole travel management flow with BAPIs.
The following already works:
- Creation of trip BAPI_TRIP_CREATE_FROM_DATA
- Approval of trip via BAPI_TRIP_APPROVE
But now I don't know how to proceed.
As I've seen in PR05, the status has then be changed to settled.
Afterwards it can be sent to FI via transaction PRFI.
And then the posting in FI can be done in PRRW.
Is that flow correct?
What are the BAPIs to use for that?
Is it BAPI_ACC_TRAVEL_POST?
DoI also need BAPI_PAYROLLTRAVELEXPNSESPOST?
Could please somebody of you give me an example for calling those functions?
Unfortunately you have to specify a lot of parameters and I don't find much about it on SDN.
Is there a way to retrieve this data first using only personnel number and trip number?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Eddie,
For settling and posting the travel cost into the system, you can use t-code - PREC, PRFI and PRRW.
Best Regards,
Raj

OMB05603 while deploying a process flow with OMB

Hi all,
I am trying to deploy a process flow with OMB. I tried with the repository owner and with a non-admistrative user, but I am getting the following error.
OMB05603: Deployment of Component 'PROCESS_FLOW_MODULE' with action 5 is not allowed.
Any help is appreciated.

Hi Sebastian
I suspect this is because you are trying to deploy the process flow module.
The process flow package should be deployed - not the module and not the flow itself.

Process flow with configuration for online payment of vendors

Dear friends,
I need the process flow with configuration for online payment to vendors through rtgs or neft.
Please help me in this regard. One of my client wants to implement online payment process instead of cheque payment.
thanks and regards
satya

1) Payments are initiated at the corporate SAP System using APP and converted into IDOC
Could you please tell me the steps in converting the app into idoc.
There are standard Idoc used for the same , for APP it would be PAYEXT, You need to use this Idoc type.
You define the EDI payment method and assign the program in FBZP (RFFOEDI1)which would created payment medium.
i believe in the app we will create the proposal and run the payment run, after payment proposal created what are the config steps involved in createing the payment run. for example for checque payment we will maintian variant for cheque printing.
The payment run config is done in FBZP, which would include definf check PM and assigning house bank sub gl etc.
2) PI at Client End receives the input through IDOC for the payments
Pl means? and how the client will recieve this idoc what is the set up has to be made?
PI(Process Integration) middleware which will send bank files from sap to bank and vice versa.
3) Bank PI receives the payment and converts the same RTGS/NEFT format
4) Payment Data is received at the Bank RTGS/ NEFT server for further processing
how the payment data will be recieved by bank what is the process?
This is again via PI or any thoird party tool which will send bank files to sap as Idoc, The idoc message type is FINSTA.
or this in SAP you will have to configure the following:
*House bank with partner profile
*Outbound parameters                      what is meant by outbound paramenters and how to create and where to maintian
*Inbound parameters                          what is meant by inbound paramenters and how to create and where to maintian
The outbound and Inbounmd idoc's are the one which we send(PAYEXT) and rec from bank(FINSTA). you create partner profile in WE20 and create partner profile once you create you assign outbound and inbound message types in there.
*EDI Compatible payment methods        how to know about the compaitable payment methods
Please goto house bank FI12 and you will see this in there, assign the PM used.
*APP config                                        i know the app config for cheque payment, for this scenairo any additional settings?
It would be pretty much same, you will have to define the PM used and Payment medium and remaining configuration in FBZP.
*Bank details in Vendor :
You will have to maintain the bank details of the vendor in vendor master.

How to setup PCG Flow Rule Process flow with Business Event subscription

Hi,
How to setup PCG Flow Rule Process flow with Business Event subscription type?
When should Business Events be used?
The latest user guide does not provide ay information on this functionality of Flow rules.
Thanks

You should find it's usage noted in the new PCG user guide on page 3-26 under the heading "Configuring Workflow/Event Rules". This way you can have a Flow Rule call a business event component or a workflow. This would be kicked off within a process flow as one of the steps.
I hope that helps.

Process Flow with Status Busy

Hello
In Warehouse Builder Browser I have one Process Flow with Status Busy. I have restarded the whole server and status is still Busy.
Through Oracle Workflow I try to Find Active Processes and there just is no one.
Why is my Process Flow still Busy and how do I stop it? (Maybe the there is an error in Warehouse Builder Browser, it is not busy?)
Best regards,
Tina

Just logout and login into Warehouse Builder Browser again. It is not busy any more ;-).

Mapping audit_id in process flow with parameter

Hello!
I have a following request.
I would like to get AUDIT_EXECUTION_ID for certain Mapping in process flow and pass this ID to next mapping (all this with help of parameters I guess??) to get some data from AUDIT tables. How to do this?
OWB version 10.2.0.1
Thank you Gorazd
Edited by: gor on May 9, 2011 1:40 PM

Hi,
It is a bit complicated and technical.
Will give you a hint.
You need to install run_my_owb_stuff as a function, grant access, and create a public synonym.
Then within you have to add capturing of the execution_id as an additional custom parameter. (see below).
Once done. Add a Start parameter with same name to each Process Flow, and Bind it to any activity that you want to use the parameter with.
-- Override Parameters
dbms_output.put_line('Stage 3: Overriding Parameters');
-- override_system_input_params(l_audit_execution_id, p_system_params);
if p_task_type='PROCESS' then
-- GRI addition
     l_custom_params := p_custom_params || ', p_execution_id=' || l_audit_execution_id;
override_custom_input_params(l_audit_execution_id, l_custom_params);
else
     override_custom_input_params(l_audit_execution_id, p_custom_params);
     end if;
-- override_custom_input_params(l_audit_execution_id, p_custom_params);

Execute process flow with OMB*Plus

Hello,
somebody know how to execute a process flow designed with OWB 9.0.4.8.21 within OMB*Plus?
Thanks,
Pedro

Currently it is not possible to execute Process Flows or Mappings from OMB. OMB is to be used mostly as a metadata manipulation and processing platform, not for run-time management.
What you could do is to put OMB metadata operation commands and runtime execution commands one after the other in a shell script and then run everything from this shell script (if this is what you are trying to do).

A/R process flow with notice of readiness for shipment

Hi,
I'm trying to implement the following A/R process flow:
- sales order
- xx% A/R down payment invoice
- notice of readiness for shipment
- incoming payment
- delivery
- A/R invoice (xx% down payment to be deducted here)
What's the best way to implement it?
Thanks
Fabio

Hi,
no, it's something different. It is because we want to be paid before shipping anything.
In more detail:
- we request a certain amount of down payment after the order and before starting production
- we request final payment before we deliver goods
Thanks
Fabio

Process flow with AdobeForm

Morning,
I was wondering if it was possible to create a form and set up an approval flow within the site so it goes to one person for approval and once they approve they click submit it passes to someone else to confirm further approval?
Thanks
Greig

Hi,
Approval process flow is not supported in Adobe FormsCentral. You may want to check Adobe Acrobat, or Adobe LiveCyle products.
Let me point you to the forums site: http://forums.adobe.com/index.jspa select Acrobat or LiveCyle at the drop down field.
Thanks,

Cisco ISE Process Flow with Active Directory

Hi guys,
Today I did a lab and see this note at Authentication Policy Interface. This note is:
Note: For authentications using PEAP, LEAP, EAP-FAST or RADIUS MSCHAP it is not possible to continue processing when authentication fails or user is not found. If continue option is selected in these cases, requests will be rejected.
Then I thought that the best way to configure authetication policy for Flex Auth: Dot1x (with Active Directory) > MAB (Internal Endpoint) > CWA (Guest and other user) will be using EAP-TLS authentication protocol.
Is this possible using another protocol instead of EAP-TLS (which is required client certificate has already been installed)? Would you mind helping me to reslove the problem? And the network authentication method at end user side will be?
Any help will be much appreciated.

Please refer the Supported Authentication Protocols ( including PEAP ) , database and authentication types from below

Maybe I missing something here ?, or is there another way to pass a dinamyc parameter to a scheduled job.
I´m using OWB 11.2.0.1
Thanks.

OMB Script - Run a process flow (OMBSTART) with input parameters.

I have a process flow with one input parameter : PF_SCHEMA_NAME. This is a string, literal value = false.
While running this from the OWB Control center UI, it prompts for value of parameter.
I need to execute this process flow using OMB script.

How to specify the Process Flow Module with SQLPLUS_EXEC_TEMPLATE.SQL ?

Hi, we have a couple of process flow modules that have PF Packages and Process Flows with the same name.
E.g
PFMOD1 (Module)
FILELOAD (Package)
PF1 (Pf)
PFMOD2 (Module)
FILELOAD (Package)
PF1 (Pf)
Normally we can specify "FILELOAD/PF1" as a paramater to the procedure SQLPLUS_EXEC_TEMPLATE.SQL in order to initiate the running of an OWB process flow but how can the system distinguish between modules ?
Anyone done this ?
Thanks
Paul

If you deployed the packages to the same location then the second deployment replaced the result of the first one (actually a new version of the process flow was created). You can execute only the latest version...

What am I missing something here?
Is my Parameters correct?
GIve me the link where I can find more on using External process.
Please...please...help me..

Nikolai,
I have created a simple process flow which only calls the external process. The script is on the same host as the process flow is deployed to.
I have used two diffent values for the command parameter.
1. I placed the full path of the file in the command parameter and left the script parameter blank:
COMMAND: /edwftp/ppas/scripts/ClearPPAS.sh
PARAMETER_LIST:
SUCCESS_THRESHOLD: 0
SCRIPT:
2.I placed the bash command in the command parameter and the full path in the script parameter.
COMMAND: /usr/bin/sh
PARAMETER_LIST:
SUCCESS_THRESHOLD: 0
SCRIPT: /edwftp/ppas/scripts/ClearPPAS.sh
Both of these appear to work as they print out the statements inside the script but the files that are supposed to be removed still remain.
