Purchase req release through workflow

Hi all,
i am under the process of releasing purchase req in workflow its a overall release there are two business objects for that one is bus2009 and the other is 2105 actually 2105 is for overall release but there are no attributes for that particular object if i need to add any value as expression in my mail do i need to create my own attribute or is there any other way to handle this.....
Thanks

The required value that is required for Release is Release Code. If you are using Standard Wflow then this is passed along with event only you have to make sure you have proper configuration in SPRO. The PR number gets passed automatically thu event. You can make use of Workflow Template WS00000038.
Any custom stuff you can code in Attribute but in that case you have to create a subtype of standard Business object and then code in it and then delegate it. You can delegate by
SWO1->Give Business Object Name->Settings->Delegate
Check this link for programming related to attributes

Purchase Requisition to Purchase Order conversion through workflow

Hello Experts,
My requirement is to create purchase requisition to purchase order automatically through workflow. How to proceed with these conversion, since am new to workflow please help me with the valuable inputs.
Thanks,
Naveen

How does the senior person approve? using workflow or using transaction ME54N?
if it's the standrad transaction then again, use a user exit or the released event.
even if the approval is done in the workflow I would not recomend using creating the purchase order as part of the workflow since this is not a workflow issue, but if there is no other option create a new method in BUS2105 (use delegation) and call the BAPI in it.

MM Workflow - Purchase Req Release

Hi,
I have set-up MM Workflow to notify a user to release outstanding reqs. I used BUS2105/TS20000159 This works as expected. However the business want a summary of the req details to appear in the message. The standard message has no description. It just shows the Purchase Req No in the Subject Line.
I was hoping to call BUS2105 ->Method->PurchaseRequisition.GetDetail1. This calls BAPI: BAPI_PR_GETDETAIL and would give me the details I require. I would then populate this data in the body of the message.
I am pretty new to Work Flow and was hoping you could guide me in the steps required to achieve this please?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks,
Phil

Hi,
Firstly create a workflow container element of type as key parameter in the business object
1 .Create a step in the workflow
2. Create a task in the workflow
3. Assign the businees object in the task..
4. Create a container element in the task
5. Create binding between the TASK and METHOD of business object
6. Create binding between Workflow container element and Task Container element.
7. Then in Basic data of workflow ( HAT ICON) go to start events and assign the business object
and the event which has to trigger the workflow.
8. Create a step called mail so as to know whether it has triggered the workflow when the Business
object had triggered.
or
Switch on the event trace (SWELS) and check the event trace SWEL... if the workflow is triggered you would find reciever as workflow..
If you still have to view graphically the goto
Tutorials> Business Workflow> and see the topic how to create activity step in the workflow.
Hope this would help you.

Purchase Req release strategy help

PR's generated from MRP are being blocked, however when I convert a planned order from MRP into a PR it is automatically released. I want MRP generated Reqs to be also released. I tried creating a new class, characteristic and strategy group but ran into problems when assigning the class to the group. Basically we just want all reqs created from MRP to be released and not go through workflow. Any ideas? My inital thought was to use the creation indicator EBAN-ESTKZ with the value of B (MRP) and U (converted planned orders)

hi Ryan
U can use only one release class in PR release strategy
error is because ur trying to use another class add the charactaristics ib existing class and configure release strategy

Purchase order release stratergy Workflow

Hi All,
I am using SAP standard PO rel. workflow WS200000075 using BO BUS2012.
At the first Activity - task(TS20000166) it determines Agent(receiver of workitem for releasing), through default rule(20000027), at simulation of rule it determines agent correctly, but its not doing so while we create purchase order.
At event trace I am getting error - Import Container contains error
My Question is
1. Do I have to map determined agent through Default rule to workflow container using a variable???
2. Am I missing something in the workflow to map to any container?
Kindly advise
-Indrajit

Hello
I'm using the BUS2012 Object type in workflow task but in simulation the task run correct but in the transaction when modify a purchase orden the task send an error...
maybe the error is similar...did you solve this problem?..
Thanks!

Creating Roles for Purchase Req. release strategy with classification

Hi friends,
Since I have created Purchase req rel strategy where I have four release strategy
1. For Plant 1 When value <= 5000 (Officer) will release , release code 01 release release strategy r1 and rel code L1
2 For Plant 1 When value >= 5000 (Manager) will release , release code 01 release release strategy r2and rel code L2
Now the manager will have 2 release code,if officer is absent he could release the requisition.
Same has to be done for plant 2
The release Group and code needs to be assigned to the Roles , could anybody tell me where i could know about roles and will be able to create roles and assign authorisation objects to the Roles , and release group and code to the enduser.
though its a basis job , since I have no idea , I mean I have never worked with Roles ,as now I have created the Release strategy with classification I need to assign authorisation objects to the Roles as I have four release strategy
1. For Plant 1 lower value of requisition 1 codeL1(Officer)
2 For higher value of requisition 2 code say Li and L2(Manager)
Manager should have 2 codes if officer is absent he could release
Same has to be done for Plant 2
Thanks N Regards
Siddhartha

Hii,
Steps:
1) Create a Role
2) Add the authorization Object M_EINK_FRG by taking the manual option
3) Assign Release Code and Release Grp
4) Assign the Role to the User ID which has the authorization of the Release Code and Grp.

Purchase Reqs created through work orders

Currently when I attach a non-stock item into a work order it create a purchase req. The purchase req is automatically released, or is released when the work order is. The problem is that we have a release strategy that we must follow here at my company. When the Reg is automatically release it does not follow this strategy.
Is there a way that i could turn off this functionality, and have those req follow our standard release strategy.

Hello!
If you don't want to convert PR into PO, then why you are creating it. There can be two cases:
1. You want to create PR but don't want the material right now. In that case change the delivery date.
2. You don't want to do anything now. You want material after 6 months, only you want is to create a maintenanc eorder. In
that case you can enter the material nad service on ly at the time of requirement.
You can talk to MM consultant also you can put control this by release strategy also.
Is there any other case that you are facing. Please discuss.

Purchase Req Release Reset After Addition of New Component in Service Order

Hello,
We have a scenario where we create a service order, add some operations, and then some components to the operations. Note that we are set up to use the same purchase req for all components so all components, regardless of operation, are on the same req.
We then release all lines on the purchase req and continue on to convert to purchase orders. In some cases, the PO's are then received.
Now, it is discovered that we need to add addtional components to the same service order so we do that. These new components are added to the original purchase req. Upon saving the service order, all of the previously released lines have reverted back to unreleased. Very frustrating since some of the req lines are already converted to purchase orders.
Note that the changability flag is set to 4 for our release indicator.
We are at a loss as to how to fix this. Anyt insights are appreciated.
Regards,
Greg

Hello All,
Thank you for your replies.
@Sebastien: We are using collective PR's. If we cannot solve, we will entertain individual PR's
@Maheswaran: It's MM from the PR perspective but since it is only happening when the PR's are tied to the service order, I asked here. We are releasing at the line level of the PR.
@Linganna: Are you talking about an enhancement to create individual PR's? That is taken care of in configuration, no?
Thanks again and regards,
Greg

Great Gurus
Hi to all
there are couple of things.
i am using WS00000389 ( standard workflow PR - item level release ( with classification ) . Business Object BUS2009. I copied this workflow and worked on it. At first it was not running because element Release Code ( Workflow containter ) > display . it is linked \ taken from ABAP Dic. Reference Structure RM06B Filed FRGAB . further this is linked with table T16IE. finally i conclude this is the table of Relase codes but for Release Procedure withOut Classification , whether i am thinking this release code should be linked with Release code with classifcation. Table name V_T16FC .
what is the scene behind.
to run this in Se11 , table T161E, i put the required relase codes . then it started working.
but i think is incorrect . May be i should link it with correctly. but i dont know the correct structre\table. or there is something else.
Secondly . there are three Relase codes in my PR. as soon as workflow triggers ( Workflow > Basic data > Start Events> rlease step created ) . workflow sends the Pr information to the three release codes. whether i think , at first it should send the information to first PR Approver ( first relae code ), if he\she approved it , then it should be forwarded to next PR Approver Inbox. and so on.
How we can achieve this.
Thanks for giving time.
Thomas

Purchase order release strategy Workflow not working

Hi All,
I am working on PO Approval release strategy and it is not working fine . The release strategy set up is configured by my functional consultant . I just copied the standard workflow template WS20000075 and making changes to my custom workflow template . When ever po is created an event "RELEASESTEPCREATED" get triggered and the first approver receives an workitem and when he approves it goes to Second Approver and it is working fine . But when rejected then a notification email goes to initiator . Now when an initiator login into ME22N and made any changes ( even material text change ) in it then again "RELEASESTEPCREATED" event getting triggered . But I need to trigger my workflow only when there is change in PO Net value .
Kindly help me how to achieve this functionality .
Thanks and regards
Dilip

Hi Vikram,
There is already an existing entry for BUS2012 with event CHANGED against the change doc EINKBELEG .
Acutlly when login as initiator and try to change PO through ME22N here are my observations :
case 1: When Buyer click on " Cancel Reject " button and do any changes ( even text change ) then RELEASESTEPCREATED and CHANGED events are triggering . But since the event linkaged is set to RELEASESTEPCREATED workflow get restarted again.
Even the CHANGE event does'nt have 'RELEASECODE' as parameter to restart workflow .
Case 2: When Buyer doesn't click on " Cancel Rejection" buttion and do any changes then only CHANGE event get triggered
which do nothing since there is no event linkage .
Is to click on " Cancel Reject" button mandatory ? . But even though we make " Cancel Reject" as Button mandatory then RELEASESTEPCREATED Button triggering for any change but we need to trigger it for only net Value change .
Thanks and regards,.

Purchase Order Release Strategy Workflow

Dear SDNers,
I created a custom workflow to trigger workflow when PO created. This workflow send mails to portal for approval to approve the release stratagies of purchase order.
From portal side its working fine. Once the approval approves, user decision step going to next level. every thing is fine from portal side.
But if they go for R3 side to release PO at ME29N, here facing probelm
Suppose, Workitem is waiting at level1. Approver1 recieves used decission step at portal. But by logging into R3 system and release PO, the workitem which is at approver1's inbox has to vanish from his inbox. Its not happening now.
What I hav to do. Kindly let me knwo.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Venkat

Hi Venkat,
Two things you should change here:
1. The Event that triggers your workflow should be BUS2012(RELEASESTEPCREATED). This event occurs when a release strategy is activated for a PO due to various reasons.
2. You workflow should have a 1 : 2 fork . One path (fork path) should follow the User Decision path using a portal and the other should be a asynchronous workitem with the following 3 as terminating events:
      BUS2012         RELEASED
      BUS2012         RESET
      BUS2012         SIGNIFICANTLYCHANGED
The workitem can be with or without agent.
This should help you.
Regards
Gautam

Purchase rquisition release strategy workflow

Hi,
I am very new to workflow. My requirement is that after creating purchase requisition when i click on the save button it should go for approval. This is for item release. if purchase requisition has three items. each item has diferent amount. If the amount is less than or equal to 100 it should go to P1's( ie, Manager1) inbox for approval. if the amount is greater than 100 and less than 10000 it should go to P2's( ie, Manager2) inbox for approval and if the amount is >10000 then should go to P3's(ie, Manager3) inbox for approval. Can anyone please explain me how to do, where do i start please.. its an urgent requirement. please help me. i will reward u.

Hi Hima,
please follow the below steps.
1. Go to swo1 and create new custom BOR based on BUS2105 and create one event name as "Create" then delegate the custom BOR to super type.
2. Goto SWEC and link your BOR and change document.
3. Then use the BOR2105 in your basic data of WF with create event.
4. Then create a Function module rule in PFAC transaction based on your condition.
5. In your work fow create a "User decision" step type and then give the rule number here.
So at runtime based on your condition the work item will goes to respective agents.
Im not explian elobrate here. Any way if you have any douts let me know.
Thanks.
