Refresh workflow item issue after task processing

Hi expert,
We have a urgent client issue regarding work item in SAP inbox. I am new in workflow process.
He has 142 work item in his inbox for invoce processing. But he has processed 70 from them. After processing these 70 invoices, all processed workitem should be gone from his workitem list. But some of wotkitem which has been processed, are still there in his inbox after refreshing inbox. I have check standard task TS30001128 has been used in workitem.
Please sggest.
Also How we can find workflow from TS30001128. Each work item has a workflow id. How we can check it?
Regards
Anutosh

Hello,
To find where a task is used, go to e.g. PFTC_DIS, fill in Standard Task and the task number, click Display, then click on where-used.
For this case, I would look at the user's inbox in SWI5 and then click on the list of workitems to see the workflow log. It should tell you why the workitem is coming back (if he really did refresh).

Workflow Item not created while processing draft PO from SOCO

Dear SAP SRM Experts,
In SRM 7.0, I've a scenario where I create a PO draft in sourcing.
In the 3step of the GAF, I've the option to
1. Edit the PO and order it.
2. Directly process the PO draft to create a PO..
While in case one the WF item is created with status awaiting approval, in the second case (when I directly process the draft) the workflow item is not created but the status is still 'Awaiting Approval' !!.
Use of PC workflow is done and the PO is not auto approved.
Any pointer regarding this would be very helpful.
The call stack is way different between the first step and second.
My understanding is if there is some error in the follow on PO, the work item would not be created. But the SC in soco is similar and while in first case it does create the workitem in second case it doesn't.
When does the decision to create workflow item is decided in second case?
Thanks.

Hi Guys,
Thanks for your inputs.
The problem has been identified. The error is because the vendors are deleted completly from the system. And those were earlier used in shopping cart as preffered vendor. Thats why the system is throwing the error message.
As we can not process this SC further we want to delete this SC (line item). But again while deleting the SC the system is throwing the error message . "Business partner xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx not found." Thus its not allowing us to delete the SC.
Do you have any ideas how we can delete the SC line items, or SC ? Any FM ?
Thank you,

Processing workflow items and sub tasks inside CIC

In CIC one can add a tab for the work flow inbox.
In one workflow we have a decision task where the user will be able chose to create an activity. How does one modify CIC so the work item processing occurs inside a tab in CIC. With the benefit that the user at the same time can access the other feature inside CIC and at the same time enabling the workflow process to process the necessary steps.

Hi Jan,
When u create a CIC profile then attach the transaction profile of ur sales activity or oppourtunity or any transaction to with ur application area and create a workflow with the start event of that transaction and add an event in the workflow for create or change of that transaction .
So when agent create the transaction by CIC then it will go to workflow event and an workflow event will trigger and go that transaction to the workflow inbox.

Workflow Attachment Issue after UTF8 conversion

I have custom worklow with an html attachment. It worked fine until UTF8 conversion is done. Now the attachment is missing from the email message at all.
Any suggestions you may have would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Default HTML Attachment
I am not sure if UTF8 conversion has anything to do with the HTML attachment missing. If you are on 11.5.9, the HTML attachment with the e-mail notification is driven by the Notification Preference that the user has. Following are the possible notification preferences that a user can select.
MAILHTML - HTML mail with attachments
MAILHTM2 - HTML mail
MAILATTH - Plain text mail with HTML attachments
MAILTEXT - Plain text mail
SUMMARY - Plain text summary mail
QUERY - Do not send me mail
SUMHTML - HTML summary mail
If the user has MAILHTM2, the default HTML attachments are not sent. You need to have MAILHTML to receive default HTML attachments.
Custom Attachment
If you had written your own PLSQL Document API to generate a HTML attachment to the notification, you will have to check if the web-based notification accessible from Self-Service is visible. Check the workflow definition if the Document Type attribute for the HTML attachment is still available in the DB and that the Attach Content check box is checked.
Hope this helps

Start a Task Process Action in SPD 2013 does not expand SharePoint Groups

I created a site workflow in SPD 2013, and added a "start a task process". I specified that the participants would be a group, the tasks would be created in parallel and "Assign a task to each member with groups" is checked.
I did check after the fact that "ExpandGroup" is "Yes" in the properties.
However, when executed, the group gets assigned a task, not individual users within the group.
I have seen other postings where others have the same issue, but no resolutions besides MS is investigating. Is this some issue with my setup? I have tried this in multiple environments with the same results.

Hi wangsy101,
According to your description, you create a workflow with “Start a task process” in SharePoint 2013 Designer, and the participants was a group, and you had make sure that the “ExpandGroup” was “Yes”. However, when executed, the workflow didn’t assign
the task to individual users within the group.
I reproduced the process, and in my testing , everything worked well.
When you start the workflow and view the workflow, you will see the Assigned to field is the group. And when you open the related tasks, you will note that there are some new tasks related to individual users within the group. It means that the “ExpandGroup”
works correctly.
If the issue still exists, please create an approval workflow with SharePoint 2010 Designer platform, and set the same configuration to test.
I hope this helps.
Thanks,
Wendy

How to assign default values to "Start task process" SPD2013 action

I am creating a task in SPD 2013 list workflow using the "Start a task process" action. I have the ContentTypeId field set as i need to have some specific fields to be displayed in the task form.
Is there anyway to assign values to these fields?. My goal here is to fetch some values from the "currentItem" fields and display in the Task form during the approval. So that the Approvar don't need to go and see the actual list item.

Hi,
If you would like to display fields about current item in Task form, please click
these user in Workflow, and
Start a Task Process dialog pops out. Then click Open editor for body >
Add or Change Look up, then you could retrieve field data.

Need to deactivate task that generates workflow items not needed anymore

Hi,
Some users are currently getting workflow items with the error message: "Header del.date/Qty different than line item;..." for inbound orders. The users don't want to receive this error message anymore on their inboxes.
I found out this error message is generated by the TS90100001. How can I find out if this task only generates this error message or if it is used to something else? And also, if this is the case, how can I deactivate this task?
Thanks!
Andrea

Hi,
I don't have access to TCode SWE2, if you think it would be useful for me, I'll request the access.
I entered to see what the task does and found out the name of it which is: Order Change after post processing error.
Object Category: BO BOR Object Type
Object Type: ZBUS2032
Method: CHANGE
Not familiar with this sorry
Thanks,
Andrea

Hi Puli,
I think your task list is corrupted, could you please try to associate your workflow to another task list in SharePoint Designer > Click Workflows on left navigation > Click to open your workflow > Under Settings section, select another task
list and test.

Approval Workflow - How to stop Approval Process after one Approve?

I currently have a approval workflow for announcements. There are two approvers assigned to the workflow with the serial setting. How do I end the approval work process after one of the two persons approve? Currently, if one person approves, I have a "In
Progress" status under the status column.
Here is the text-based editor view of my workflow:
f Current Item:Body not equals Current Item:PriorBody
Start Approval process on Current Item with User1; User2
Else if Current Item:PriorWorkflow equals Approved
Set workflow status to Approved
If Current Item:PriorWorkflow equals Rejected
Set workflow status to Rejected
Any tips are welcomed. I have found that Nintex released a workflow that addresses this, but I would like to work around that if possible.

Hi David,
Yes, I created the workflow based on SharePoint 2013 Workflow platform. You can have a look at the screenshoot:

Refresh time of workflow items

Workflows items which come in task folder of SAP Portal take around 15-20 seconds to get refreshed.
Is there any way to reduce the time taken to refresh? Is it suggestible?

Assigned To column (or any column that uses People Picker) cleared after clicking Edit Item in a Task List

Our SharePoint Foundation 2013 is experiencing a weird issue. It only happens in Task Lists. For example:
Create a new Task in Task List and fill the Assigned To field with a user from the People Picker list. The People Picker works fine as all users in Active Directory are appearing.
Save Task.
Edit Item the task that was just created.
The Assigned To field is now cleared for that Task.
It used to keep the user that was in the Assigned To column.
Are there any suggestions on what may have caused this or what I can try to fix this?
This was after some Windows updates were installed end of August.

Hi PauIT,
According to your post, my understanding is that the “Assigned To” field is cleared when you edit a task item in the Tasks List.
I recommend that you can enable server rendering on the list view Web Part for the Tasks List to solve this issue.
To do this, please follow the steps as below:
Open the Tasks List in your site, add a new task item, type the user name in the “Assign To” field and save it.
Select the new item, click “Edit item”, then go to the Gear icon, click “Edit page”, click the drop-down arrow in the upper-right corner of the Web Part for the Tasks List, and click “Edit Web Part”.
On the right side of the page in the Web Part properties controls, click the plus sign (+) on the “Miscellaneous” section, select the “Server Render” in the “CSS Render Mode” section, then click “Apply”, “OK” and save the changes of the page.
Then, you can see if the “Assign To” field in the new item’s Edit Form has the corresponding values.
There are some similar threads for your reference:

Workflow not triggering after undletion of expense line item after release

Hi Experts.
There is one issue in which a PO contains inventory line item (an item without account assignment category) and expense line item (an item with account assifnment category).The user releases the PO through workflow.The user then deletes expense line item and after a span of time he undeletes the same line item.Now the business requirement is after undeletion of expense line item the workflow should trigger again.I have consulted with technical team they say that it is not possible by coding and is possible trough customization.

Hi,
Please check that Change Version for PO is active.

How to use a pwa group in CREATE A TASK PROCESS in SPD 2013 for project server workflow approval process

I am working on a Project Server 2013 workflow. I am creating this using Sharepoint Designer 2013. In this workflow I am using approval process at one stage. I have created a security group SalesManagers in PWA. I want to use this group for workflow approval
process. I want all users of this group get approval tasks.
For this I used START A TASK PROCESS activity in the SP Designer. I clicked on
this user and created task process. But here I could not find SalesManager group which I created in PWA. I was only able to find the users. I can also see
Administrators for PWA . But couldnot find SalesManager or any other security group created in pwa.
Can anyone suggest how I can get the security group created in pwa.

NBDevelopment,
I believe SPD only recognizes the SharePoint Groups and not the project server security groups.
The Administrators for PWA, and few other groups like Project Managers for PWA etc., are synced SharePoint Groups with the security groups, which is why they show up in SPD.
You could create a SharePoint Group for the Sales Managers group and use that in SPD.

Display item only after process ran

Hi,
I have 3 items:
- :P1_ENTERED_VALUE (Text field)
- :P1_DEFAULT_VALUE (Display as Text)
- :P1_DIFF_VALUE (Display as Text)
Users enter a value into :P1_ENTERED_VALUE and trigger a process with a button.
The process compares the number of :P1_ENTERED_VALUE with :P1_DEFAULT_VALUE and populates :P1_DIFF_VALUE. So far it works.
What I want is that :P1_DEFAULT_VALUE and :P1_DIFF_VALUE are not displayed before the button was pressed.
What I tried: Since :P1_DIFF_VALUE is null before the process, I set a condition for the item :P1_DEFAULT_VALUE:
- Condition Type: "Value of item in Expression 1 is NOT NULL"
- Expression 1: P1_DIFF_VALUE
So both items (:P1_DEFAULT_VALUE and :P1_DIFF_VALUE) would show only after the process is executed.
The problem is that :P1_DIFF_VALUE now always shows 0 and not the difference, because the item with the condition (:P1_DEFAULT_VALUE) obviously in not just hidden before the process, but also inactive.
How can I solve this problem?
Thanks in advance,
Roger

Hi Varad,
+> The calculation of P1_DIFF_VALUE should be done using the hidden-item into which you retieved the 'default value'.+
No, the calculation still had used the not hidden item.
+> The hidden-item should not be conditional.+
This was true.
I changed the calculation to use the hidden item and now it works fine !!
Thanks a lot, Varad, my appreciation.
Roger
PS: I anyone knew why the JavaScript API didn't work I still would be interested. Just to learn sth. for next time.
Thanks
