Regarding workflows and agent assignments!!!

hi all....
i hav a requirement and for that i need ur help.
it goes like this.
All PRs that are created need to undergo a release process which typicaly is an approval process.
--a Requisition is sent for release once it is created.
-- level of approvers will be determined thru release strategy.
--each level wil b associated with a code which determines position of the approver.
--each level wil hav the option of either approving of rejecting the perticular object.
--for all levels mail wil be sent.
now my problem begins at step 2 above.how to determine the level of approvers. what do i need to know to determine this ? is there some standard rule or function module or some method of doing this??... quick help will be highly appreciated!!!

hi prema ,
functional part.
for each stratergy , the relese code should be asigned.
for each release code , position should be assigned.
Technical part,
once the purchase requisition is released , u vil get the release stratergy.
from the release stratergy , u can get the position , to whom the workitem should go.
It vil not all the 8th approvers will release the purchase requsition .
it will be like , user decision send to each approves , for accepting or rejecting the requistion (after the purchase requistion is released).

Held PO triggering workflow and agent assignment to myself

Hi experts,
Is there a way where I can prevent held documents from triggering my workflow?
How can I achieve the following 2 scenarios for agent assignment:
1) Create PO and workitem route back to myself
2) Release PO and workitem route back to myself

Lester,
If you are a User01, then You started the process like if you are creating the PO, then the workflow is getting triggered. So now you are the initiator of the process, and in WF_inititor will be hold your user name user01.
Thanks,
Vijay.

What is a WF_Initiator and Agent (USER)..?

Hi All,
I am very new to workflow and getting cofused over the Agent and Workflow Initiator determination in the task and activities and all the scenarios.........
Can anyone please explain me these differences between.
I have gone thru the help files but cant get any idea...may b i m missing somthing...
Please let me know if there are any help files available to understand this.
Thanks,
Sagar@MM

WF Initiator is the one who starts the workflow, and Agent is the one who recevies the workitem and have the authorization to execute the workitem.
Suppose let us consider a case like we have 2 users USRA and USRB
USRA -
Starts the workflowor triggers the workflow then WFInitiator will have the user name USUSRA and let us assume that whem ever a leave is applied so your leave request should go to your manager for approvale let the manager be USRB, Now USRB will be the agent

Report for outstanding workflows and the agents responsible

I need a report that shows all leave request workflows , with userid who created them and approver (agent), and approver's org unit and personnel number.
is there a standard SAP report that can show that? or I need to develop one?
I was looking at the SWI2_FREQ, this report shows the leave request workflows and userid who created them, but it does not report on the agent.

Tiberiu

Hi
I think by making use of SAP_WAPI_WORKITEMS_TO_OBJECTS you can get all the workitems who created the leave wokritems.

FM to read the different steps in workflow and the status at each step

Hi All,
Is there any FM in SAP which gives the detail roadmap of the steps taken in a workflow and the diffrent status or decision at each step.
I am looking for something like what you see when you click on the "STARTED WORKFLOW" in the business workplace outbox.
Which shows up the "steps in the process so far " and the decision and the agents for each of them.
Thanks,
Charan.

Hi,
You can get the status according to the task. please check with FM "SAP_WAPI_GET_WI_DELTA".

PO workflow for agent determination

There are three level of approvers who have to release the PO. configured in SPRO.
The number of approvers is identified by the net value of the PO. The approvers selection
is based on the reporting structure in the OM.
Now how can i determine the agents from OM.

Hi Sankar,
You can write your own custom methods & attributes.
1. I would advice you create a custom virtual attribute which determines the no. of approvals needed, based on the PO value.
2. Then to determine the agent, you can use the function module adviced by Aditya Varier and populate the outcome of this FM into a method container.
You can loop at the workflow and call this custom method as the first step within the loop.
Hope it helps.

Oracle ATS Workflow and Validation process.

Hi,
Can any one know how Oracle ATS supports Workflow and Validation functionalities, or is there any plug-in's available to handle this feature.
Please post your valuable suggestions,
Thanks in Advance,
Ramesh.

Hi Rick/Rob,
Thank you for your Suggestions/advice,I will try inheriting it in my future developments.
I have iterated the complete requirement and reasons for why the Workflow is put into an error state.
In most of the scenarios (in my project) the users/agents are allowed to restart the workflows.This is already in place and have been followed hence would try to simulate Rob's suggestions and would keep you posted on it.
But w.r.t current issue it seems to be still pending.
While creating an Service entry sheet for cost objects at the validation stage the SES would be waiting for confirmation for its approval from its valid approvers if they do not find the approvers the workflow is passed to an error state , post validation the user id provided with a link where he could restart the workflow(this is already been followed and has been working well ad people are used with this process)
SES approver determination sequence:
firstly the program will check partner function users Z1 or Z2 in PO, then if it has error it checks requisitioner of PO. In requisitioner check additional check we applied for validating PO creator is from Batch Id, if yes then email is triggered at functional mailbox with the link.
Screenshots:
So till here its been a legacy process what is been followed. But now my actual issue was how to access SWPR from web or from an hyperlink.
I am able to access SWNWIEX transaction but not SWPR.
So if you have come across or have worked any such scenarios kindly let me know so that I can implement this in my workflow.
Apologies for not following the right process ,as I said earlier I ll try simulating the same workflow as per your advice and present it before the counterpart and try bringing a change in the existing process.
Thank you.
Regards,
Vivek

Question regarding MM and FI integration

Hi Experts
I have a question regarding MM and FI integration
Is the transaction Key in OMJJ is same as OBYC transaction key?
If yes, then why canu2019t I see transaction Key BSX in Movement type 101?
Thanks

No, they are not the same. The movement type transaction (OMJJ) links the account key and account modifier to a specific movement types. Transaction code (OBYC) contains the account assignments for all material document postings, whether they are movement type dependent or not. Account key BSX is not movement type dependent. Instead, BSX is dependent on the valuation class of the material, so it won't show in OMJJ.
thanks,

Difference between SAP Business Workflow and CRM Workflow

Hello guys,
Is there any difference between SAP Business Workflow and CRM Workflow?
Are there others workflows types in SAP?
In all SAP Workflow Courses (BIT600, BIT601, BIT603, BIT610) only was talked about SAP Business Workflow, and nothing about CRM Workflow.
Thanks a lot!
Kleber

Hello Kleber,
There is not much of the differance between CRM workflows and SAP Business workflows..
Workflows are esentially part of Basis (BC) components and hence its the same across all SAP products as all these products have components of Basis(BC) in them...
To Conclude, SAP Busines workflows and CRM workflows are the same things... However when you work on CRM, the BOR objects would be belonging to CRM and not to ECC... However conceptwise , there in no change at all.. If you learn BIT100......, you can also work on CRM workflows..

Regarding workflow settings

hi all
i have a simple query that i have created a workflow in sandbox and since a workbench request is generated so workflow is reflecting in other client
please tell me if i have to show the same workflow in production client do i need to do all the changes in that client like maintainence of table entries which i have used in my rules and methods i have created for the workflow.
for activating the workflow and event linking etc. all these changes will be maintained in production client itself or there is some other way else.
regards
ashish

hi
you need not change the settings of the ELM workflow
you just need to activate it and plcae it as general
regarding you error
RFC destination WORKFLOW_LOCAL_010
just ask your basis guy to maintain this destination in SWU3
your dump will be resolved
see these are standard worflows ,you need not change the settings in normal circumstances
best regards
ashish

I am new to workflow and I have and issue

Hi Experts,
I am very new to workflow and Ive got an issue which I need know where to start with.
I am working with an application whose UI is Java and back end is SAP.
When a sales order is created in the UI this creates a order record in SAP and triggers a business object which inturn calls the func module SWE_EVENT_CREATE for initiating the workflow.
The workflow sends a mail in which the data is coming wrong in the preview mode(i.e whn u single click on the message it appears at the bottom ) and when u double click on the message u can find correct info.Y its like that ?
Any ideas??
Neeraj

Hi,
Neeraj not in perticular that case but in every case when you click once it will appear at bottom and when you double click on it it gives you a pop p window which helps you to see whole message.
So,It's a functionality Dear nota problem.
Hope you understand.

Workflow and ABAP OO

Hi,
I have read the excellent blogs on Workflow and ABAP OO by Joycelyn Dart (/people/jocelyn.dart/blog/2007/07/16/referencing-bor-objects-in-abap-oo-classes). I have sucessfully created a BO (of type SIBFLPORB) in my class. However, I cannot figure out how to retrieve the workitem container that holds the BO. I have used macros before in workflow programming exists, but there I get the container from a workitem context. I can't find the workitem context in my class. Please provide me with some code samples of how I can retrieve the workitem container that holds the BO.
I am considering passing the workitem id to the method and reading the container via SAP_WAPI_READ_CONTAINER. If this is a good solution, then I see no point in having the BO as an attribute of the classe. Is it a good solution?
Thanks!
Elvez

I am probably missing something obvious here (or we are not even speaking about a same thing), but I still try to clarify my point.
>I could of course just pass the necessary data as parameters to the class
This is the part that I don't really understand. If you already have an instance of a class existing (=there is an object instantiated), which has the BO as an attribute, there shouldn't be any need to change a signature of any method(?). The only thing you need to enhance is the constructor of your class.
Currently you create the BO instance as an attribute in your constructor method (isn't this correct?). Just create the attributes you need from the BO into your class, and "populate" them in your constructor. Or if it is an method that you need, just create a similar method (=you can copy the code) into your class.
This all might be much easier than using the WF macros, which shouldn't be that difficult either - as Jocelyn says:
"You will still need to use BOR macros in your ABAP OO classes if and only if you want to call BOR attributes and methods in your ABAP OO methods.
If you need to do this then make sure you include the BOR macro definitions in your class by putting the special include program <cntn02> in the "Macros" section of your ABAP OO class."

Karri
