SAP MDM Work Flows Status

Hi Tim,
                  I am using SP5 not SP4, and workflow also enters in received mode after launched. But after that it goes to TRASH, and this behaviour only comes when i add some new fields to main table. is this the only reason for trash status or something more behind it. and also is it an actual status for workflows or its an uncommon behaviour.
Thanks Tim your suggession really works for me.

In General Console talks about repository structures we cant do any record manipulation. Basically it can be done at MDM DATA Manager level (in recent SPs), earlier its called CLIENT. Launch MDM Client along with the same repository, change workflow as your current table and there you can add records, assign records and launch the same.
MDM WorkFlow
You can find MDM workflow under Record mode.
MDM there are no Tcodes as we use in SAP R/3.
Basis related stuff is to maintain console which has repoaitories and Role and authorization (user and assignment of Roles to user)
MDM has four main component
Console, Import Manager, Data Manager, Syndicator.
Please feel free to revert to me for further clarifications.

ABAP API for MDM work flow

Hi SDN,
I need some information related to ABAP API for MDM workflow. I did search in SDN and I found one solution in a thered posted on Jul-2008.
ABAP API - MDM Workflow execute
My dought is: Do we have any ABAP API for call MDM work flow. Please provide me the solution ASAP. Apprciate for your immediate response.
Regards,
Kumar.

Hi LAKSHMAN ,
To answer your question specifically
Using ABAP api you cannot call MDM workflows as of mdm 5.5 there are no functions specific to calling MDM workflows in ABAP.If you want to implement workflows on ABAP side you need to go for SAP ECC workflows which is a different topic than MDM>
To call MDM workflows over the Java stack ie WAS (SAP portal),You have 2 ways
- UWL
- Guided Procedures.
- UWL is a way of calling MDM workflows on EP.Wherein the workflow design will be done in MDM and it will only be called in portal using appropiate connections and configurations.
You can refer the below links to know more on them:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/771f1a61-0e01-0010-daa9-93a52905da09 (uwl)

- GP is a way where by you need to design the entire workflow on SAP portal the logic can be pertaining to MDM but the design is completely on portal using webdynpros and api.
You can refer the below links to know more on them:

What is MDM Work Flow

Hi MDM frnds,
What is MDM work flow, its Just like ABAP Work Flow??
At what stage we need to define MDM work Flow??
If anybody having usefull documentation shere to me..
Regards,Raj

Hi,
What is MDM work flow?
Workflow is used to run the processes working on master data in a systematic and orderly way.
Generally, we need to have some validations and approvals in order to make sure that master data is
correct.These validations ,approvals and other processes are not done by the single person.Different
operations will be done by different users in master data management.In order to control the overall
processes done by different users in an systematic way, we need workflow.
At what stage we need to define MDM work Flow??
As i said above whenever we have validations, assignments and matching and merging and various
approvals which should be act on our master data before send the master data various application
Systems, then we go for workflow.
For example as soon as we import the data, workflow can be triggered by setting configuration options
in import manager and imported records can be addeed to workflow automatically by setting Trigger action
to record import.By doing this,we can cleanse and normalize the data using various operations in workflow.
and also we can execute the MDM workflows in portal using guided procedures.
Not only that using workflow we can extract the data from MDM to remote system using syndicate step(Available from SP5) of the workflow.
Finally what i can say is using workflow all the operations which need to be executed on master data can
be done in a proper way.
For better understanding, go through below documnents.

Work flow status is not changing

Hi,
The work flow is not ending. The last approver is getting the item in his inbox repeatedly though he has approved it previously and the workflow status is showing as still in progress.
Please kindly help me to solve this
Regards,
Sekhar.

Hi Chandrashekar,
When we create w work item in the workflow, we specify the thing we want to perform in it.When the task is perform we need to set the event for the end task.Event can be repoting higher autority , a mail or something.After we set a task or work process we need to handle the end manuallly.It never gets terminated itself but we have to terminate it manually.Even if you are sending the approval from the user after task completion and you must have ended the procedure.Now as the last task is not handeled properly.That is executing in endless loop.So you may go for termination of workprocess after the last mail.If you have used loop untill please use container with it.It will be helpfule.Hope your query resolves soon.
Have a best day ahead.

Reg: Java API for MDM work flow

Hi,
I am using MDM java API (Version: 5.5 SP 06 Patch 2) for webdynpro. I am creating a record in MDM using MDM java API. Once the record gets created in MDM i need to call the MDM workflow. Is there any java API available to call the MDM workflow into webdynpro. If that is not possible, what is the alternative to call the MDM workflow into webdynpro.
Kindly suggest.
Thanks,
Prasanthi.

Hi Prasanthi,
You need to use the three main classes to work with MDM Workflows
1. RetrieveWorkflowTasksCommand
2. WorkflowTask
Both of the above classes are used to retrieve the current workflow tasks.
3. WorkflowTaskAction
4. WorkflowActionMenuNode
Above classes tells the possible actions of the workflow task.
You will find more information about the above classes in the Java docs
I would still suggest to use UWL if you dont need any customization.

Sap work flow

what is the sap business work flow
where can i get the material to study about it
kindly do the needful

Hi,
SAP Business Workflow enables the design and execution of business processes within SAP application systems: Workflow processes are delivered as content in the SAP Business Suite. Additionally, customers can not only enhance those workflows provided by SAP, but they can also create their own workflows. SAP Business Workflow is at the heart of the SAP system. Through integration with Organizational Management and standard SAP NetWeaver Business Intelligence for reporting and analysis, this enables you to manage business processes which fit into your organization, the application, and which can be used for auditing and business process compliance.
Companies gain the following benefits from SAP Business Workflow:
Many SAP applications deliver workflows as content with the SAP application. ERP, CRM, SRM are examples of SAP applications that provide ready-to-use workflows. You can change these workflows to reflect your company processes by using the graphical workflow builder or build your own from scratch.
You can do detailed reporting on the process itself. For example, reporting on how many times each workflow executed, what was the average execution time, how long did it take people to react to items in their inbox, etc.
Check the following links for more details:

Plz: meaning of this sentence : MDM works out of box with sap BI component

hi
please explain me what is the meaning of :
SAP MDM works out of box with sap BI component .
Message was edited by:
akhil k

Hi akhil,
In lines to what Simona has said, I would like to mention that SAP MDM is a different tool altogether and functions out of the box with SABP BI.
Talking a bit about the integration scenarios, SAP MDM SP04 is integrated with SAP BI 3.5 as two different tools where MDM behaves as a different tool altogether and imports the data from BI and cleanses it and then syndicates it back to BI.
In the latest integration scenario, some part of MDM can be handled from Bi itself. i.e. We can connect to the MDM SP05 Repository from BI 7.0. But still the data cleansing, deduplication is exclusively done in MDM. Hence MDM works out of the box with SAP Bi component.
Thanks and Regards

Regarding work flow in the organisation

Hello,
      I am new to SAP XI. I want to join as a SAP XI developer. So I want to know about the work flow in the organisation. Means who will raise issues and who will take care of it first. and how it will reach to SAP XI developer.
    What are the human roles in the SAP XI Work flow in the organization and what are their responsibilities. Who will responsible to write the Java mapping coding or ABAP mapping coding or XSLT mapping coding.
Thank you
Edited by: jyotsna dm on Apr 12, 2008 6:54 AM

Hi,
In XI: It is separated in two parts
1) XI basis (Administration)
Activites are:
1) XI installation
2) Configuration activitie
3) Post installation checks
4) SLD configuration
5) Create Users,
6) Role assignments.
And many more
2) XI Implementation and development.
Under the development you have two parts Integration repository which is desing part which involves small amount of Java knowledge whenever your requirement is not fulfilled by standard SAP XI function.
and integration Configuration:
This is very simple stpes once your design is over.Based on your requirement you have to use the standard adapter provided by SAP for example if file is coming then u will go for File adapter,if IDOC is psoted to R3 then you go for IDOC adapter,communication with remote client u go for SOAP adapter.
XI Project lifecycle:
1) Blue printing phase (Design phase).
2) Build phase (Development)
3) Integration testing
4) Project go live
5) Support.
Now coming to ur question.
XI Developers role and responsibilities are:
     Analysis of the Functional Specifications which is received from Function people.
      Understanding the processes related to the third party non SAP and SAP systems.
     Raise issue log for the business requirement which is not understood from functional spec.
     Prepare Technical Specification Document,
     Do the development: now developer has to do the coding which either involved java,XSLT,abap mapping.
     Prepare the UTC
     Reviewing Interface Technical Specifications and Unit Test Document, Interface build and Unit Test, Self and peer review of the deliverables, develop Interface Object via Design and Configuration.
     Project golive and give support and do bug fixing,change request n all.
hopw u got the prefect workflow.

Need clarification ,is work flow configuration & custmization T.Codes in srm same as in r/3.
For example:Starting condition defining in srm is through SPRO>SRM>SRM server>Cross appl basic settings>sap business work flow
And in R/3 it is through T.Code PFTC
Thanks in Advance

Hello Chandra,
T-codes for workflow customization & configuration are similar in SRM and R/3. There are multiple ways to check each transaction.

ESS Work Flow

Hi
I'm new on ESS Work Flow. I got business request that if leave request end date is less today, then the work flow need bypass the manager approval and update IT2001 directly. I have two questions :
(1) How do I pass leave request end-date to work flow container so that I use that date to determine if work flow should be completed without manager's approval.
(2) How do I change work flow status so that leave request can update IT2001 without manager's approval. Currently, if I bypass the manager's approval (no condition due to do not know the answer of #1 ), the work flow status is set to complete, but it did not update IT2001 after I run report RPTARQPOST.
Thanks for the help.
Regards,
Jim

Hi Wu Jun,
Actually my problem is that I need define the workflow basing on vacation request start date and end date.
According to HR, if vacation request end date (for example 2 days vacation from Oct 18 to Oct 19) is less then today, then workflow should not seek a approval from the manager and update IT2001 directly. We are using a copy of WS1230011 with some customizations. Yes, the possible agent has been defined in general task.
One key step of the business activities in the workflow is the task TS12300097. In stead of calling object type from Business Object Repository, this task calls a ABAP class (CL_PT_REQ_WF_ATTRIBS) as object method. In this class, I could not find any attributes that is vacation start / end date related, therefore, I could not find associate container items from the workflow to make completion condition (if end date less than today then completing the step) of the step.
Hope you understand my issue and have more specified input. Thanks.
Regards,
Jim

SRM Product / Material creation - Data flow to SAP MDM

Dear SAP friends,
I need your help with 2 issues. Thanks in advance for your collaboration.
Our client needs to create products and make them available to purchase almost immediately.
The scenario we had working for the last 2 years was: product creation in SRM (fields: short description / product category / measure unit), that would then be sent to SAP MDM for data enrichment, through BBP_CCM_TRANSFER_CATALOG (JOB running every 1 minute). This solution worked well for the last 2 years.
Recently, we are having some problems with this job. We noticed that, sometimes SRM doesn´t send the new products to MDM, and we think it´s a report performance problem. The report doesn´t maintain is normal behavior when executed every 1 minute.
SAP advice is to only run this report once a day. That would obviously require having a minimum time frame of 1 day between product creation and its availability (purchase), which isn´t acceptable in this client business model.
Question 1: Did anyone have a client with similar requirement? What was the implemented solution?
Because of report performance problems, we are running it (BBP_CCM_TRANSFER_CATALOG) every 5 minutes. It happens that sometimes, more than one catalog manager creates products in that time frame, and MDIS when importing the products to MDM, creates one unique workflow JOB making it impossible to assign it to both catalog managers for enrichment.
Question 2: How can we ensure that SRM sends only one product per xml files sent to XI / PI ? Or, perhaps, ensure that XI / PI splits the xml file sent from SRM into several files with one product each.
Thank you very much for your help in advance,
Best Regards,
João S. Carvalho

Hi meka
In product costing values flows as follows;
In product cost calculation raw material prices are costed which comes from material master in MM01
Product operations: i.e material BOM and master receipe or routings from PP module.From PP module operation costs comes in product costing.
In CO module: In Tcode KP26 we maintain activity\cost center planning for activities like machine hours, set up hours, labour hours etc.Here we define plan quantity and plan prices.
In Cost Sheet (KZS2) we maintain base cost elements & overheads and While order creation we calculate planned cost of that particular material.and then check the variances after getting actual cost of product.
Hope this will help you and if found useful assign points.
Let me know if you need more information.
Regards
Nilesh.
