SC approval workflow not triggered..

Hello All,
I have a SC created in EBP which is in status 'awaiting approval'. But there is not active workflow running in the system.
I also checked if there is any event in error in event queue broswer. But I dont see any event in error.
What could be the reason for workflow not getting triggered in this case?
Thanks and regards,
Vithal

Hello,
Check the start conditions for workflow in question via SWB_COND. If everything is fine, perform a consistent check using SWUD.
Also, check the default currency maintained in start condition as well as if the start condition depends on the currency. If so, its value should be explicit within start condition expression.
Kind regards,
Ricardo

2010 Publishing Approval Workflow not triggered from Office 2010 application

I have a peculiar situation to which I have been Googling for weeks now but to no avail.
Basically, I have configured a publishing approval workflow to fire when the user checks in a word document as a Major version. I tested it and all was fine. I later found that on a select few PC's on the office network the prompt (workflow initiation
form) was not popping up when checking the document in via the office 2010 word client and therefore the workflow wasn't being initiated.
I have gone down many avenues of group policy, SP permissions, AD settings, even reinstalling office but nowhere nearer to solving the issue.
Please bear in mind I have it configured correctly from a SharePoint point of view i.e. checked the box to allow workflow to be manually started & start to approve publishing on major version.
This might be a clue: it works when checking in via SharePoint but not when checking it in via word, therefore indicating a desktop client or office issue.
Does anybody have any knowledge of what triggers the initiation form to fire and what might block it or not register its existence from an office app point of view? Any general comments would be welcome.
Spec of problem machines: - Windows 7 (x32/64), Office 2010 Std, SharePoint 2013 server (but using 2010 workflow in this case).
Marc Grocott

Hi Marc,
Based on your description, my understanding is that when you check in a major version from word, the workflow initiation form not appear.
In order for Document Approval workflows to work seamlessly with word, you can tick the option: "Allow this workflow to be manually started by an authenticated user with Edit Item Permissions".
Here is a detailed article for your reference:
Approval workflow does not start from Microsoft Word

What is the message that you are getting for the event? Is it "No receiver entered" or something else?
Check for the event linkage between your event and workflow in SWE2. If it is not set select the checkbox "Linkage Activated" and acitivate the linkage and then try to trigger the event.
If your event linkage gets deactivated everytime you try to trigger the event, there could be some problem in binding from your event to workflow container. Check if all mandatory parameters in workflow receive data from event container.

Approval Procedure Not Triggered on Updating Document

Hi,
When Adding a new Sales Order, if the document meets the criteria laid down by an Approval Template, the Approval Process is started.
However, if an old Sales Order is Updated, the Sales Order the Approval Process is ignored.
This is a problem for certain customers who have Approval Procedures which prevent users Adding Sales Orders which would take a Business Partner over the Commitment and/or Credit Limit.
The user can get around the Approval Procedure by adding a Sales Order for a value which keeps the BP under the set limit. If they then Update the Order, they can enter any value.
For example, a user may be prevented from adding an Order totalling £1000.00. If they Add the Order for £0.00 instead, they could later amend the Order to any amount as the Approval Process is not fired !

Could you clarify what you mean by "The credit limit exceeded is in negative numbers"
Negative number: the system message I get when I create a delivery note for a customer, exceeding the credit limit is the following:
Customer has exceeded credit limit - 95.479 EUR
Customer has exceeded commitment limit - 95.479 EUR
Continue (Y/N)
Make sure the Credit Limits are set in the BP Master. --> OK, credit limit is set to 100 EUR, Commitment limit to 100 EUR
Also use Great than in Ratio and try to use a small number like 10 in the value --> I am using 1 EUR
Also, check in System Initialization > General Settings..BP Tab Activate approval procedure is checked. --> it is checked.
Using the range option does not solve the problem, in fact even if I use 'Deviation from Credit Limit does not equal 1 EUR' the approval is not triggered. When I use the same Approval template, but I alter the terms to Total document greater than 1 or Discount% greater than 1 the approval is triggered.

Approval Procedure not triggered when Credit Limit Exceeded

Hi,
I've defined an approval procedure which I would like to launch when a clients Credit Limit has been exceeded. I've checked the required fields on Administration > General Settings > BP tab (credit Limit, Commitment Limit, AR Invoice, Delivery, SO). I've also checked the Activate Approval Procedures on the same tab.
I know the approval procedure has been set up the correct way, since it is launched when I change the Terms to for instance 'Total document'.
There is a system-message when I am creating a Delivery Note for a customer indicating that the credit limit for this customer has been exceeded. But still, the system allows the user to add the document without triggering the approval procedure....
What am I doing wrong?
Btw: The credit limit exceeded is in negative numbers, but I've tried both the condition 'Deviation from Credit Limit greater than 1' and Deviation from Credit Limit Less than 1...

Approval Process Not triggering?

Hello,
I have created a simple Approval process in which request should go to the Beneficiary manager through JDEVELOPER. I have also registered this Approval process with OIM.
After that i have created two Approval policies..
REQUEST LEVEL--
This is Auto Approved.
Approval Rule :: Template Name equals Provision Resource.
Set Priority : 1 (Request Type=Provision Resource)
OPERATIONAL LEVEL --
Approval Process attcahed at this level.
Approval Rule :: Template Name equals Provision Resource.
When i am creating a request for a particular resource the request is getting assigned to XELSYSADM by default (as per the Developers Guide for OIM 11g, if no approval policy is attached with the template the default Approval process gets trigerred and the request gets assigned to XELSYSADM.)
Can somebody help me by telling why the Default Approval process is getting triggered and not the one which i have attached at the Operational level?
Am i missing Something?
Thanks in Advance.

As i have mentioned earlier, it is configured such that the appropriate approval process is triggered when a request for particualr resources is requested.
There are multiple tasks in each one of the approval process.
The approvals were triggering well 2 days ago and suddenly there seams to be a problem in the approval triggering.
The approval process was not edited / updated for any of these resources. Wondering why suddenly OIM does not work well for the approval triggering???
here the problem is none of the configured approval processes are triggering. Its not just one approval process but all 12 approval processes (including standard approval) are not triggering when the request is raised.
Appreciate your help till now, please suggest me how to make OIM trigger the approvals again!
Thanks

OIM 11gR2 Approval workflow not getting triggered

I created an approval workflow by following the 11gR2 developer's guide and deployed it. then created an app instance and also an approval policy for operational level which is auto approved and for request level with this composite. when i raise a request for this app instance in the catalog the SOA composite is not getting triggered. I am able to see a task in pending approval of system admin whenever i raise request for any user and if i complete that pending approval the app gets provisioned directly. Also i do not see any request ID also. please help to find out whats going wrong

Now i tried raising a request from another user who is not a member of SYSADMIN role. This time the request id is generated and a task 'Manual Task for Provision operation for Beneficiary X' is generated in pending approvals of xelsysadm user. When completed the app instance gets provisioned. So this means operational level approval task is triggered? and it has auto-provisioning?
why my custom approval workflow is not getting triggered?
I have created 2 approval policies, one for request level which is auto approval and other for operational level where i have selected the deployed composite name.In both the approval policies i have selected the request type as Provision ApplicationInstance. There is no error also while deploying the composite. Am i missing any step? please help.

SAP Workflow not triggering due to "Start Condition return FALSE" message in SWEL

Hi,
I have SES approval workflow which is not triggering in few cases because of check function ends with exception even it has valid start condition and correct data. For example lets say we have PO no. 100 for which 3 SES (SES1,SES2 & SES3) are created. Out of which workflow for SES3 is not triggering even if all the three contain valid start condition(Bases on internal order at PO line item).when triggering workflow manually using SWUE for SES3 it work fine.Please find SWEL screenshot below and let me know if you have come across this type of issue.
Thanks in Advance.
Ishant.

kindly use SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT and not SWE_EVENT_CREATE it's always better to use APIs.
Why use 2 sub-objects? you already have a z-object and you can modify it. even if there is a reason for the double sub object , the workflow should still run on the standard one - BUS2091.
see for example :
Extending Object Types: Inheritance and Delegation - SAP Business Workflow - SAP Library
As for your question,
if you are using a function module to raise the event, way not check in it if the service entry sheet has been created properly before creating the event. you can even check if the PO contains an internal order in your RFC function module and raise a specific event. then you will have no need for the starting condition.

Leave Cancellation Approval is not triggered

Hi Frnds,
   The leave cancellation workflow which is configured in IMG is not triggered for leave request with status APPROVED or SENT excluding the status u201CPOSTEDu201D.
IMG Configuration for workflow:
1) WS12300111                u2013 New Request
2) WS99900053 (Copied from WS12300111)     u2013 Cancellation Request
Example:
New Request           - Triggers WS12300111 for approval
Fully Approved           - Use WS12300111 for approval routing
Cancelled the fully approved request     - WS12300111 (but it should be WS99900053)
Can anyone help me out with the solution?
Thanks,
Suganya

1. Leave Cancellation WF is triggered only for cancellation of posted documents.

Leave Workflow Not triggered

Hi All,
         We configured the Leaves through ESS and it was working fine, but abruptly, the Leave Workflow stopped executing. I have maintained the following settings:
1. In the leave settings in SPRO, "Process Request Using Workflow" option is checked and the WF Id is 12300111 for all the three entries.
2. Display field for next Agent is checked. In ESS, the manager's name is displayed in the leave app.
3. Request has to be approved option is checked.
4. In SWFVISU, TS1230097 is maintained as
     APPLICATION        LeaveRequestApprover
     DYNPARAM          wi_id=${item.externalId}
     PACKAGE            sap.com/ess~lea
5. The task TS1230097 is maintained as a General task .
I tested the application through PTARQ & through ESS, the leave is applied, but the Workflow is not triggered. I checked the WF Tasks in SWIA, but No Workitem exist there. There's no entry in SWEL.
Can you please suggest, where are we missing to trigger the workflow.
Cheers!!!
Umang

Hi Umang,
I do not see any problem with your workflow configuration.
Most probably the problem is with your rule group configuration.
As advised before, using WEBMO feature, find out what is the right rule group for the test employee (for whom you are applying leave). Then ensure that in the SPRO "Personnel Management -> Employee Self-Service->Service specific settings -> Working Time -> Leave Request -> Processing Processes--> define Absences/Processing Processes" there is an entry for the Rule group and the leave type you are applying for.
View that entry and ensure that you have all the WF settings as told before.
Thanks
Krishna

Workflow not triggering when changing Item-level Permissions in Sharepoint 2013 list

Scenario:
We have a custom list in Sharepoint 2013 that we use for Case Management. We have a workflow that triggers on a created item generated from an email. The user then gets a reply with a link to his own case.
I want the users only to be able to see their own cases and no one elses. When I change this under
Advanced Settings under List Settings and
Item-level Permissions and set them to Read items that were created by the user
and Create items and edit items that were created by the user
the workflow doesn´t trigger.
How can I resolve this? I've tried every possible out-of-the-box permissions but with no result. Help!
Thanks in advance!
// Browncreek

When you're testing , remember you cant trigger declarative workflow from the System Account - you need a general user account for auto-trigger workflows. Good luck!

Hi, I have the same problem. Except that I am not using an email to create a new item. The item is created by members of a SharePoint group that have Contribute access to the list. When use the same settings i.e.
Read items that were created by the user and Create items and edit items that were created by the user,
the workflow does not trigger. If I set it back to Real all items and Create
and Edit all items, it triggers the workflow.
Please help me resolve as I have rolled this out to pilot users and am having this trouble.
Thanks,

Workflows not triggered when documents are created in Doc Set via Content Organizer

The following is my scenario:
A document set (containing several documents) is created in Library A on Site A
Using Send To, the Document Set is sent to the Drop Off Library on Site B (a different Site Collection)
A Content Organizer rule then moves the Document Set and its documents to destination Library B
In Library B I have defined a workflow (using Visual Studio 2012) that is triggered when new item is create
When the Document Set arrives in Library B from the Drop Off library (i.e. when the Content Organizer moves the Doc Set to Library B), the workflow is triggered (and executes) on the Document Set, but it is NOT triggered on the documents within the Document
Set. How can I get the workflow to trigger on the documents within the set when they are created via the Content Organizer rule?
The interesting thing is that if I manually add another document to the Document Set in Library B, the workflow is triggered on that document. It just does not trigger when the documents are created via the Content Organizer.

Hi,
In edit Content Organizer rule page, I see there is an option as Automatically create a folder for each unique value of a property:
However, unlike the drop down used in the property based filters above, this drop down *only* contains properties that are required by your content type.
This is done to prevent adding folders that have no values for a property.
If you need to put similar documents to the same folder, you could consider making use of this feature.

Workflow not triggered when i have changed the PO

Hi,
We have custom fields (Price) in PO Header as well as in item. when we update in header the price should get distributed to items.
we have custom workflow evernt (changed) to update the items if user change in header. But the issue is if user changes the items and save the po, it is not updating immediatly. after we come back to Purcahse Order and save the purcahse order again then it updates the table.
Is there any reason why the event is not triggered when the PO was changed initially.

Hello,
"We have custom fields (Price) in PO Header as well as in item. when we update in header the price should get distributed to items. "
If you update a price in the header, how/why would that be distributed to the items? Is this a total price of the whole PO? Why not just have it in the header?
"we have custom workflow evernt (changed) to update the items if user change in header."
OK. Strange, but OK.
"But the issue is if user changes the items and save the po, it is not updating immediatly"
I thought it was supposed to happen when the users changed the header, not the items.
If you really have a workflow to update the items when the header is changed, then maybe it's not succeeding if the PO items are locked, eg by having them on your screen. Did the worklow actually start? Any error messages?
