Query on Workflow/SRM

Hi All,
I have a query on workflow/SRM.
Recently our client upgrade from 4.6c to ECC 6.0 and we are facing with the below problem after the upgrade.
Users create Purchase Orders through shopping carts in SRM system; requisitioner will receive a notification mail on creation of PO in the backend system. When the shopping cart is converted as PO (after releasing from sourcing), a workflow is getting triggered in backend ( ECC 6.0) which sends the PO notification mail to the requisitioner. In that notification mail, the Cart No and Cart Description is missing for the PO. This issue occurs only after the upgrade. We have analysed, it is because of the delay to update the PO number on the shopping cart, which happens with the help of batch job CLEAN_REQ_REQ_UP which is running for every 5 minutes in SRM system. To confirm this we had included Wait Statement in the workflow function module which will delay the work flow by 5 minutes and the workflow is running fine now. But I want to know whether the above change will affect the performance of the production system, since this make the workflow wait for every PO. Also as an alternative we are thinking of manual triggering of workflow using batch jobs instead of automatic.
Please advice which is better in terms of system performance and maintenance.
Regards,
Rag

I'll suggest to add a background step to verify if the PO has been created instead of waiting. BCOZ if the PO has been created and it is in last few seconds of next scheduled run of the this report, it has to still wait for atleast 5 minutes.

Change log issue in BRF process workflow SRM 7.0

Hi Experts,
I am new to SRM workflow. At the moment I have a requirement in SRM 7.0 BRF process control workflow.My requirement is to capture the changes done by the shopping cart approver's and also the changes done by shopping cart requestor. Below is an exmaple.
In some cases the first level approver or second level approver will edit the shopping cart , make some changes and will resend the same shopping cart to the requestor (the person who created the shopping cart). If the requestor accepts the same changes and save the shopping cart there is no need of sending the workitem to the first level approval or second level approver again, but incase if the requestor makes new changes to the shopping cart then the workitem should go to the first level approval or the second level approver.
How will the system identify the changes done by the first level approver or second level approver or the requestor?? Because based on the changes the workflow process will follow. Is there any log where the changes done by first level approver or second level approver are saved? and please let me know where to code for this requirement.
Thanks and Regards,
Prashanth

Note 868192 - Consulting solution: MM-SRV-SUS service procurement
A service entry in SUS is transferred to the R/3 system or ERP system using an IDoc after you submit the entry screen. Service entry sheets are created there and they are then available for release. You can perform the service entry in a number of ways:
Service entry of planned services: you can confirm planned services in the service entry in SUS. An overdelivery may occur if quantities are still open.
Service entry using time recording: planned services, for which a time recording is useful, can be split up. Time recording by the hour or by the day is possible.
Service entry for limits: You can use the free-text entry of new items and also the OCI-enabled catalogs to implement limits.

Assistance required in creating BRF workflow SRM

Hi Experts,
I am new to SRM. I have a requirement wherein I need a create a BRF process control workflow. In high the requirement is as follows.
Once a shopping cart is saved the workflow should start and check whether the shopping cart value is greater than or equal to 1000 USD.
Note: Step 1 and Step 2 are only applicable when the shopping cart header value is greater than or equal to 1000 USD else directed to the step 3.In other words step 1 and step 2 are optional steps whereas step 3 is mandatory step
If TRUE (shopping cart value greater than or equal to 1000USD).
step 1) The first level approver need to be determined from ztable based on the cost centre of the shopping cart.
step 2) The second level approver need to be determined from ztable based on item category id of the shopping cart.
If TRUE (shopping cart value greater than or equal to 1000USD) or FALSE (shopping cart value less than or equal to 1000USD).
step 3) The org unit manager approval is required. Org unit manager will be determined from the ztable based on the org unit of the shopping cart. If the value of the shopping cart is greater than the manager's approval limit (determined from a ztable), the manager approves the workitem and also the workitem should go to his manager for approval. The same applies until the approval limit of the approver is greater than or equal to the shopping cart value.
In the above requirement step 3 approval levels is dynamic. Please help me in achieving this requirement.
Thanks and Regards,
Prashanth..

Hi Sam,
I forgot to mention about the workflow process after decisiion. Below are the steps need to be taken care.
After decission:*
In some cases the first level approver will edit the shopping cart , make some changes and will resend the same shopping cart to the requestor (the person who created the shopping cart). If the requestor admits the same changes and save the shopping cart there is no need of sending the workitem to the first level approval again, but incase if the requestor makes new changes the workitem then the workitem should go to the first level approval. The same is applicable for the second level approval aswell.
How will the requestor identify the changes done by the first level approver or second level approver?? Is there any log where the changes done by first level approver or second level approver are saved?
Thanks and Regards,
Prashanth..

Hi,
In case you won't get answers here, you might ask this same question from SRM forum. As far as I remember a LOT of things in the shopping cart approval process could be done just by implementing the relevant BADIs in SRM (just some ABAP work), you don't even have to touch the workflow itself. In other words, SRM supports lots of different types of scenarios with the given BADIs (approval determination, etc.).
Kind regards,
Karri

Problem with Confirmation (BUS2203) Process Controlled Workflow SRM 7.0

Hi gurus,
I'm having a bit of trouble with the Process-Controlled approval workflow for the business object "BUS2203" (Confirmation) in SRM 7.0.
Basically, I've configured it to determine N-process levels, and for each level to retrieve the corresponding agents/approvers. When I am creating the confirmation, I go to the "Approval" tab and I can see all of my approvers there. Nevertheless, the moment I confirm an item (ie, put a confirmed quantity and press the confirm button) first I get the status "Awaiting Approval" and then when I close/or click the refresh button I get the status "Release Rejected".
Has anyone had this problem before with this workflow? Do you know if this is a standard error, or might I be doing something wrong? I tried to look through the OSS notes, but unfortunately couldn't find anything..
Please feel free to provide any idea that may be useful!
Many thanks...
Adi

Query on Workflow

Hi Guru's,
We are using Hyperion Planning 11.1.1.2 version and our requirement is users need work flow functionality whenever we transfer one employee expenses from one
department to other department? I'm thinking this can be achieved in the follow way but I need your suggestion whether we can achieve it like this or not?
1. Create a Menu
2. Menu Item 1 :Transfering Employee expenses from one department to other using Business Rules
3. Menu Item 2 : Create a workflow and assign to Menu.
Please let me know your comments on this.

No, you do not need to have Oracle E-Business Suite to run Oracle Workflow. There is a "standalone" version of Workflow that you can run without the E-Business Suite. If you have Oracle9i database Release 2 (9.2), then you can install Oracle Workflow 2.6.2 from your database installation CDs, because Workflow is bundled with the database. You will need to explicitly choose to install both the server and the client components of Workflow, as they are under the Custom installation types. You won't see Workflow files on your machines until you install it.
For more details, please see the Oracle Workflow Server Installation Notes
http://otn.oracle.com/docs/products/oracle9i/doc_library/release2/workflow.920/a96643/toc.htm
and the Oracle Workflow Client Installation Notes
http://otn.oracle.com/docs/products/oracle9i/doc_library/release2/workflow.920/a96644/toc.htm
and the Oracle Workflow Guide
http://otn.oracle.com/docs/products/oracle9i/doc_library/release2/workflow.920/a95265/toc.htm
We've a great confusion.I am totally new to Workflow and I would like to know whether in order to use Workflow is it compulsory to install Oracle e-business suite .As all of the workflow documents mention about <oraclehome>/wf/res folder
And there's no <Oracle home>/wf/res directory present in our machine as well as there is no wfsdubld.sql present niether in our application server nor in Oracle database server.Please clear to me.How to use this product.Right now we've got Oracle 9i database Release 2 on machine A and Oracle application server Release 1 on machine B.Thanks in advance

Query in workflow

HI all,
I am calling a workflow by a function module. I created the wf container variables in the fm sww_start_simple. I created same variables in the swdd also but how do I connect them. Can any one say how to test the workflow which is triggered by the fm.
Ravi

If you quit using SWW_START_SIMPLE, and use SAP_WAPI_START_WORKFLOW instead, you don't have to use the macros (swc_set_element and so on) to fill the container.
SAP_WAPI_START_WORKFLOW takes the container in the new format which is just a list of name and value of the elements, so you can use standard
APPEND l_containerline TO lt_container.

Query in Workflow - Rule

Hello Expert,
I want to know how to figure out the entire process done by the rule. as in what are the tables , fields are included/attached with a particular rule.
e.g. Rule : 00900010.
Now, in this rule, how to determine the entire process? How does this end up returning a org unit/position?? What are the tables it goes through? How does it function??
Please Explain..
Thanks!!
Regards,
Sam

Hi Sam,
Well, what happens is you pass the parameter purchasing group and the role gets an instance of the business object T024 (Purchasing Group). One of the attributes of this object is agents - that is people linked to the purchasing group using something like transaction PPOMA. The code called by this attribute is:
* Put the object under consideration into the container for attribute
* evaluation.
swc_set_element ac_container 'ORG_OBJECT_ID' self.
swc_container_to_persistent ac_container.
* Get the agents corresponding to this
* object.
call function 'RH_SAP_ORG_OBJEC_ACTORS_GET'
       tables
          ac_container     = ac_container
            actor_tab        = rh_agents
      exceptions
          no_active_plvar = 1
          objtyp_not_valid = 2
         no_actor_found   = 3
              others           = 4.
* Put the result into the container.
object-agents[] = rh_agents[].
swc_set_table container 'Agents' object-agents.
What this means is that the org object is the purchasing group, and the function uses the organisation hierachy and relationships to return those poeple with an assigned relationship to the purchasing organisation.
This is passed back to the rule and thus to the workflow as an internal table of the structure swh_actor.
So in this case there is no function module or responsibility, the rule is just getting ALL agents with a relationship to the purchasing group.
Regards
Gareth
