Purchase Req: workflow

Scenario:
A - Creates the PR
B - Approves and workitem goes to C, if it's above certain amount.
C - Rejects the PR and work item goes back to A
Currently when the work item is updated, after rejectionby A it goes back to C instead of going through the workflow to B again.
We are using WS20000077 and have done the configurations. Is it possible to change the workflow to make sure that when A updates the rejected document it goes through the workflow again, ie first to B and then to C without bypassing B ?

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 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

Goods recipient field not available when creating a service purchase req

We are trying to create a release strategy for purchase requisitions with acount assignments K, F and P. The release strategy would use the requisitioner and goods recipient fields to determine the release group. The issue is when creating a purchase req with item category D for any account assignment, the recipient field cannot be populated. It is greyed out. I tried setting the field as mandatory in the IMG at the account assignment level but it doesn't prompt me for a recipient if item category D is entered. Is there a way to allow this field to be populated? I don't care if the value is transferred to the purchase order but I need it populated to determine the appropriate release strategy. We are not using workflow so that is not an option. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Srinivas, I appreciate the response but the requisitioner field is not the problem. I can set that field to mandatory. The issue is I cannot populate the recipient field that's located on the account assignment tab of the purchase req. The recipient field can be populated if the item category field is blank but as soon as I populate the item category with D for service, the recipient field is unavailable. Is there a way to populate this field when the item category is D?

Release Stratergy User in Purchase Req.

Hi Friends,
We are using user exit to determine the Purchase Req. Approvers. In ME52N/ME53N under the Release Strategy Tab there is a table which shows the Approver name and description against each Release code. In our case we have multiple approvers against each release code, but the system show only one against release code, Is there any way to show all the approvers there(i.e.multiple rows against each release code).
To be precise all I want is that my Purchase Req. Release Strategy tab should show all the approvers along with release codes .Please advise.
Regards
Sapient

Hi ,
I think what you are looking for has little to do with the worlflow. All you want is that your Purchase Req. Release tab should show all the approvers along with release codes .
The idea is good but is not possible using user exit or workflow . You can go in for implicit enhancement for displaying all the possible approvers in the ME54N transcation.
How workflow can help here is by passing the relevant Work item to all the approvers.
Regards
Gautam

How to Change attachment URL on a Purchase Req?

Attachments in the EBP shopping carts are transferred to an ITS server and are linked to a back end R/3 Purchase Requisition.
Note that the attachments are physically stored on ITS server and the link (URL) to the attachment and Purchase Req is stored in SAP.
As a part of decommissioning, the server which was used for storing attachments is replaced with a new server and all the attachments are moved to new server.
Since the link associated to the Purchase Req and attachment is not changed, when user is trying to open the Purchase Req attachment, it is not displaying becuase all the attachments are moved to new server.
How to change the link (URL) in the Purchase Req so that it will point out to the new server instead of old server.
Due to the following reasons manually changing the URL is not advisable.
1) 40,000 attachments link need to be changed.
2) System is not allowing to change the URL manually because of the user differences. All the attachment links are attached to Purchase Reqs by RFC user (since these are transferred from EBP environment).
Please advise what should be the feasible solution to change the URL (link) on the Purchase Req so that business can open the attachment with no issues.
Thanks in advance

According to SAP, since purchase order is a legal document they do not support the process of changing document number. They suggested I do the change with debug and replace at my own risk. In ME22N go to debug and type MEPO_TOPLINE-BEDAT. The values for this field show up as 29991231 that should be changed to 20191231 and press F8, then save the purchase order.

Unfirmed purchase reqs not getting cancelled in the background MRP run

Good morning,
The system has created Purchase requisitions for 2010 due to the setting in the MRP run. we want to change it to planned orders outside the Vendor lead time and when i run a REGEN MRP with setting 2 (Purchase requisitions in opening period) its not happening. When i run indivudual MRP with MD03 with the same setting its alright, purchase requisitions are deleted and its converted into Planned orders. Can anyone please throw some light on to make backgrouond MRP run delete the Purchase requisition and create planned orders.

Jags,
You must delete the offensive PRs first. Regardless of the MRP settings, MRP will still decide that the PRs are valid and will leave them alone. It will not 'change' them into planned orders.
Run Regenerative MRP with your new settings (Create purchase reqs as '2') but also run your MRP in planning mode '3', delete and recreate planning data. It will delete all existing unfixed purchase requisitions, and then run MRP.

Error in Purchase Order Workflow

Hi,
I am facing an problem in Purchase Order Workflow. We are working on ECC6.0 Version. I activated the PO workflow WS20000075 (BUS2012) for the PO release strategy. I assigned an user for the task "Release Purchase Order effected" that is step 000107 and after that I deassigned that user from that step.
Now I am facing a problem, that the workflow is getting deactivated and unable to go further because it is getting an error in resolving the agent at that release effected step even after I deassigned the user. Every time I need to go to type event linkages to activate type event for the workflow.
The error it is raising is SWF_RUN 544.
So can anyone suggest me some solution for this and highly appreciated for the quick response.
Thanks & Regards,
Ramesh S

Hi Krishna,
Thanks for the reply. But here I donot want the agent to be assigned to that step. I already deassigned the agent from there but still it is giving me the error saying that unable to resolve the agent.
Thanks & Regards,

MRP run and creation of one cumulative purchase req

Hello,
mrp run is creating a lot of single purchase reqs with one line (quantity and dates are fine)
but how to set up MRP so that instead of multiple purchase reqs ONE purchase req with many lines is created.
Thanks, Sebastian

this is not forseen in the design.
Where would be the benefit? have a look into table EBAN.
There would not be one record less with this concept.
Further, in bigger organizations, several buyers would then work with the same purchase requisition, which could lead to lock and update problems.

Planned order created after mrp run instead of purchase req

Hi All,
I am facing a strange problem about planned order being created after mrp run jobs runs in background instead of purchase req. This is happening randomly. In the material master MRP view 2 procurement type is F and in the varient for the MRP job the in Purchase requisition control parmater 1 is marked that is purchase requisition. Also planning file is having the entry once there is shortage and hence MRP run is there always if there is shortage of material.

Repeated purchase req. in MRP run procudure

Dear SAP experts,
Here at my client site, i have one scenario of mrp run of consumables.They maintain safety stock in material master MRP view,
I am using MRP type PD.Now after MRP run,system creates purchase requisition as per safety stock qty,( consider initial stock
is zero) now when i convert Purchase requisition into purchase order. i refresh the MD04 list, as soon as i refresh i get the
purchase req. converted into PO item.Upto this point its ok. but during this refresh function i get repeated purchase requisition
of the same quantity as previous one..Why this is happening? any specific reason behind this? my logic is not getting clear.
please assist me to find exact reason..
Thanx in advance..
Regards,
Ravi

HI
If the initial stock is zero then system will generate the PR for the safety stock also and then for the Dependent requirement.
Check and revert
