Purch.requisition workflow : 1 email for 1 PR (Instead of 1 for 1 PR ITEM )

Hi,
The purchase requisition workflow has been sett-up by a consultant.
It works fine, but we'd like to improve it : at this moment for each item of the same Purchase requisition an email is generated, so if a PR contains 10 items, the responsible who should released the PR receive 10 emails.
How can I change this customizing so that for a PR only one email is generated ?
Thx for helping,
Regards,
Erwan

Hi,
If you are getting workitems per line item then, it seems that you are using a container element of type multiline and using it in the 'multiline element' field in miscellaneous tab of a User decision step.
If you use it you will get a workitem per line item.
so what you do is not to use multiline container element and use header data details to trigger 1 email per 1 PR.
regards,
Srinivas.

Hi Prabhat,
I am working on creating a scheduled task for sending reminder emails. I need help on IapiTaskIfc Class com.frictionless.custom.wkfreminder.sendWorkflowReminder. Can you please share sendWorkflowReminder class to me, so that I can get idea about the code written for sending reminder emails? It would be great help.
To check the class, you need to get the jar from server and decompile it. You can get some idea by looking at the java class file then.

Sending multiple email for free goods item category??

Hi,
we have requirement to send email (Z report in smartforms) automatically when sale order save in tcode VA01/VA02.
we made reqd config in tcode NACE and we set access sequence on ORDER TYPE and it's working fine. but the problem is that when order booked for item category free goods it sends multiple emails. (i.e. no. of line items = no. of email) for one order no. All other item category is working fine. only problem with the free goods.
I am an abaper. all config are made with the consent of SD consultant.
pls help.
thanks
Radhashyam Sahoo.

If you are an ABAPer, then it sounds like you simply need to debug the processing to identify where/why the fault occurs. As for the NACE settings, you should understand the config as well as your functional counterpart. It will make you a better developer and help you understand the processing code.

Workflow not working for multiple line items

Hi gurus,
we are working on ECN/ECO workflow.
Once ECN is created in CC01, our workflow triggers.
we are calling subflow from main WF for enhancing the materials of the Engineering change number(ECN).
Subflow will take the material to different departments for enhancing the views like,
Purchasing views by purchasing dept,
quality views by quality dept,
sales views by sales dept,
etc.
This whole process is working fine, if there is single material number in ECN.
But, if there are 2 material numbers, the control is not returning back to MAIN WF from Subflow.
do we need any config/setup to make it work. (we are using block while calling subflow).
Any help will be of gr8 use.
rgrds.
santosh.

Can you please update on what is the status in the workflow log. You can check this from SWIA tcode.
If it is in process step please check for ST22 dump if any.
Thanks

Set Tolerance Limits for Price Variance when PO-based Purch.Requisition

We must garanty that Price from Purch.Requisition will be the same at PO.
IF some variance occur a error messag must be sent to user and PO could not be saved.
I found at customzing under SPRO > Materials Management > Purchasing > Purch.requisition > Set Tolerance Limits for Price Variance .
Reading the help of customizing it mean the system consists what we need..
I have created tolerance limit NB, and set limits for all checks as 0,01.
When I will activate messages as recommended on help no messages 601 and 602 have the text that guide us to correctly setting.
The help mention that after create tolerance limit we must set this tolerance by document type..but I didnt find this field at customzing
Does anyone can help me ?
See the help on customizing below
Set Tolerance Limits for Price Variance
In this step, you can define percentage-based and value-based (absolute) tolerance limits for price variances between purchase orders and purchase requisitions. Variance types are mapped out in the SAP system by tolerance keys.
You define the tolerance limits for each tolerance key and assign your tolerance key to the document types for purchase requisitions. The tolerance limit then applies for all documents of this document type.
When processing a purchase order, the system checks whether the unit price of a purchase order item differs from the unit price of a purchase requisition item. If you have configured, activated and defined tolerance limits in document types, variances are permitted in the tolerance limits. If the variance exceeds the tolerance limit, the system issues a warning. If you have defined a percentage-based and a value-based absolute tolerance limit, the strictest of the two variances will apply for this check.
Note
You can determine whether the system messages (601 and 602) appear as warnings or error messages in step "Define Attributes of System Messages".
To do this, go to the Materials Management IMG and choose Purchasing -> Environment Data -> Define Attributes of System Messages.
Requirements
The tolerance key must be defined in step Define Tolerance Key.
Activities
1. Define tolerance limits for each tolerance key.
2. Define the tolerance key in step Define Document Types.
Thx and best regards,
Ale

SharePoint 2013 - SPD Custom Workflow keeps sending multiple emails for a single Task

I have a workflow triggering on List item created only. There are multiple stages in the work flow and in each stage a single task is assigned to a group of people. Currently group is only having one user i.e. my own test user with a valid email address.
Workflow was running fine for first 5 runs but now it keeps sending multiple emails for each task multiple times and runs very slow. I have only single workflow in development server with 24GB RAM.
Enabling the Workflow log in Event viewer does not show any error or warnings. The only clue I see is WorkFlowManager Database table "DebugTrace" having multiple entries showing that WF is trying to send same email multiple times with failed attempts,
but in reality emails are being delivered as well.
http://server/site/_vti_bin/client.svc/sp.utilities.utility.SendEmail Retry sending email in xx.xx.xx Status: HTTPRetrying
http://server/site/_vti_bin/client.svc/sp.utilities.utility.SendEmail Retry sending email in xx.xx.xx Status: HTTPFailed
I could not get the exact phrase as I don't have direct access to development machine at work.
Any help or guidance will be highly appreciated.

Yes, I have on-premise SP site, and here is the actual log I see in DebugTraces table.

URL links for Workflow Approval Email per user & others

Hi all, we have upgraded to SRM7 and understand that we have to switch to using program /SAPSRM/OFFLINEAPPROVALSEND to generate the workflow notification emails. We have maintained the portal information in the SRM configuration to build the link. However, we have 2 issues here
1. We currently output collective email so emails are sent out at specific timing on a per user rather than per work item basis. The URL link does not seem to work in this case (for shopping cart approval example) and we get an object GUID error. The URL looks something like this
http://sap-ped.dev.xyz.com/irj/portal/?navigationtarget=obn://BOSystemAlias=SAP_SRM/BOTechnicalName=sc/Operation=detailprof&NavMode=3
Also, even if I run the program for a PO approval example, the BOTechnicalName is still pointing to sc.
However, if I do it on a per work item basis, the URL works.
Does anyone know where the control this setting?
2. External and internal portal
We have some users connecting to the portal through more secured channel (external portal). In this case, I couldn't find a way to generate the appropriate URL for the external. In the past in the older SRM version, the program was using the attribute ITS_DEST in PPOPMA_BBP to build the URL link. Now, I do not know how the system knows which portal URL to take if the control is no longer at user level.
Has anyone ever had this requirement before?
My worse case scenario to resolve the above issues would be to use the BADI to alter the content of the email notification. The purpose of posting this message here is to ensure that I am not missing out any standard SAP functionality which could meet our requirements.
Cheers!
SF

Approval Workflow: "Send By Email for Approval" not available in Comments Menu

Im using Acrobat 9 Pro (9.4.1) but still have Acrobat 8 Pro (8.2.5) installed as well. I'm attempting to initiate an approval workflow utilizing the approval stamps but I'm not finding the "Send by Email for Approval" option under the Comments Menu or under the Comments button in the Task bar in either version of Acrobat Pro.
Not sure what I'm missing on this end, either in the install of either version or if I, myself, am just not getting this process. The Review process is great and works as it should but I'd like to incorporate the approval process as well if possible in to our internal workflow.
Thanks.

Approval workflows are available in Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, and Korean only. Refer to http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Acrobat/8.0/Professional/help.html?content=WS62EA03B6-4B99-457 c-8A3C-06FDB463E293.html

BODS 3.1 :SMTP configuration to send email for success or failure of job

Hi.
This is further to this post : http://forums.sdn.sap.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1965129&tstart=0
Thanks to all for the help.
I did not find a complete set of information as things to do (for a person who is new to BODS).
Hence sharing the workflow which works for me when tested on a simple workflow :
Pre-requisite : SMTP service to be made available on the BODS server and port 25 to be opened up.
This is done by the IT dept of the company.
When smtp service is activated and port 25 is opened up, telnet IP address 25 should say, service is available.
Suggestion : create a email group like : bods at company.com which can be used to be used for the BODS JOBs. Which does not prompt for a password. This also is done by the IT dept of the company.
1) On the BODS server :
1) Click open Data Services Server Manager
2) SMTP settings for smtp_to functions :
Add the IP Address of the SMTP server
Add the email address of the sender. Eg. bodsjobs at companyname,com
3)Apply/Restart the server.
2) Login to BODS Designer :
Create a test job :
TRY ==>DF===> Script for success ===> CATCH script for failure
In the script for success : add the following :
print (' IN TRY BLOCK Before email ' );
smtp_to('bodsjobs at abc,com', ' SUCCESS OF JOB : '
|| job_name(),'Job completed successfully ', 0, 0);
print('After Email ');
In the script for Catch add the following :
print (' IN CATCH BLOCK Before email ' );
smtp_to('bodsjobs at abc,com', 'FAILURE OF JOB : '
|| job_name(),
error_number( ) || 'Error message: ' || error_message( ) ||
'check details', 50, 50);
print('After Email ');
Note : In the catch : select all exceptions on the check box.
Save all.
Click on the job and say execute.
The job will run and if it is successful. You will receive the succes mail.
If there is any error in the DF before the catch, you will receive a mail, which says failure.
The above workflow, when tested atleast works for me.
Hope this helps.
Regards

Hi Arun.
Am really not aware as to how to make things work from the console.
I work on windows environment both at client and on the server.
It looks like you got a bit confused on suggestion of a email group account.
I never did anything on outlook configuration for activation of smtp for bods.
I think you should not mess with outlook.
I dont know from the client side how things work.
But i have worked directly on the BODS server where the bods installation was done.
It is relatively very simple to do and to test.
But to even test why you get that error.
All you need is just a email id. Which could be yours ???
Put your email id as the source of email in that box in the job server.
And put only your email id in smtp_to and test it.
Run a test job. If it completes successfully. You will receive a mail.
In the catch, if you have checked all the boxes for error capture,
if the job fails, it would throw a dump of the errors in the email.
Once everything works well and you receive emails for any jobs you are running.
Then you could decide for the source of your email id and for the receipients of your emails of the jobs.
You could put a group id of your team as source. And also in smtp_to script in case you want everyone to receive the alert that the job has been done or it has errors.
Or include only those email ids in the smtp_to whom you feel, should receive the mail.
Hope this idea helps.
Please dont mess with outlook for any smtp activation for bods.
It is not required if you are working on a windows environment.
You just need a email id for testing.
Outlook configuration does not come into picture at all.
if there is any other unix environment involved. I have no idea.
And i really do not know how things would be from a client side to configure.
Server configurations i do from the server.
I did all configurations on the main server machine. Not from the client.
And I have only one job server so i did everything there.
I did not do anything from management console.
I use management console only for monitoring of jobs on a daily basis, the dashboard which gives you details of the data pulled, time taken etc etc.
cheers
indu.

Overall Requisition Workflow

Hiya mates,
How to execute an approval or rejection release via ME54N through workflow for BUS2105: Overall Release of Requisition? Then follow by trigger the rejection action for workflow to provide a list of users to be chosen for email notification?
Cheers..

Hi Ronen,
How to execute overall pr rejection or release via ME54N? I tried those tasks actvt for overall pr rejection and follow by build up user decision to select restricted users only for send email notification when pr is rejected. Basically, the send email notification works fine as email notification sent out when pr is rejected. However the pr rejection seems didn't capture the rejection. When execute the workflow via "Rejection Execution", the workflow tasks seems brought me into ME22 or ME23 instead of ME54N as there is no rejection or release button after clicked "change". The workflow will automatically generated task/message - "PR rejection with Num###" and then let requisitioner to choose restricted users for email notification. However when go into ME55 to verify the workflow rejected pr, it still appear in ME55 for overall release. This rejected pr suppose should not appears in ME55 after workflow is executed for rejection.
Could you show me how to execute ME54N for overall pr rejection & release? Then the workflow or sap could capture either the "rejection" or "release"? Any methods or objects or steps recommend?
Many Thanks and cheers...

Auto-included link to list item not working in Workflow or email notification

I made a workflow straight from my SharePoint site--NOT from SharePoint Designer. (My computer is still running on Windows XP, so I can't download Designer until my boss upgrades me to a newer system.) When creating the workflow, you have the option to include
a link to the list item by clicking a checkbox. The links don't work in either the email notification or in the workflow properties. Extra characters are being added for some weird reason. (For example, the correct link looks like "https://www.w14b.comcast.net/sites/<yada
yada>.docx" and the links in the workflow and email look like "http://www.w14spw-po-b1.com/sites/<yada yada>.docx") I see no place to edit the URL. How do I fix the links???

Hi,
Please check if the http://www.w14spw-po-b1.com/sites/ is the url of default zone of the web application where this site resides.

How to customize SharePoint Foundation 2013 workflow notification emails

We have a SharePoint Foundation 2013 workflow that sends emails when certain criteria are met. We have tried to customize the emails using SharePoint Designer, but the emails that are received are different.
Ho do we configure SharePoint to send the emails formatted as we specified in the workflow?
The emails we receive are all formatted like this:
Subject:
[Company Name Workflow] - [Item] has been assigned to you
Content:
Task assigned by [User Name] on [Date].
To complete this task:
1.   Review [Item].
2.   Perform the specific activities required for this task.
3.   Use the Open this task button to mark the task as completed. (If you cannot update this task, you might not have access to it. Click here to request access.)

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to customize SharePoint Foundation 2013 workflow notification emails.
We’ll need to do a few things to replace SharePoint’s default notification with our own. The first thing we need to do is turn off SharePoint’s default notification. On the Workflow Tasks list, go the Advanced Settings and select
No for Send e-mail when ownership is assigned. Then we need to create workflow to send email.
There is an article for your reference, although it is about the SharePoint 2007, it still works for SharePoint 2013.

One Email for Multiple Tasks

Hello,
I hope someone can direct me to the right place. I have a process that requires a lot of repeated information. For example: A new product has 30 parts that need numbers and descriptions assigned to them. Right now, each member would
receive an email for each part. How would I go about sending one email to inform site members that they have 30 parts complete?
I appreciate the help,
aaspa

I'd probably depend on Excel to do this. Start with a document library that uses an Excel template, so someone could cretae a new document (basically, creating the new product task). Add a bunch of other columns to control status or workflow or other metadata
information needed. Then you'd just have the one document item to run workflow on - include a link in the email and they can open the document and do their work there.
That hides the 30 parts, so it wouldn't work if you're trying to design something like a bill of materials system. Or what you could do is have 2 lists - the master product list, and then a detail list with the 30 items for the product. Do your workflow
on the master product list. That would take some javascript customizations to make it work nice.
