Setting up of WF - BATCH for invoices released through workflow

Hi all,
i have set up the standard workflow for the Invoice Park and post which is working perfectly for the invoices. From the inbox the invoice is released by executing the work item. when i check the invoice document, the document is not getting posted, i believe there is a need to set up the user WF-BATCH, Could any body please advise as to how to set up the WF-BATCH so that the invoices get posted in the background.
Thanks a lot in advance....

Martin,
Thanks for your reply. But, my question is, what and how can we tackle the witems that are struck.
For example, in my case, the user has already taken decision from Portal side and he got a message that the approval task was successful and the witem is gone from his UWL. But, during this time, WF-BATCH was locked and so the "Result Processing" step that was done at the end of every witem execution, didn't happen. And hence the next witem also was not generated. But, if you see the wflow log, the witem status says, "COMPLETED". But if you expand the log for this step, then only we can see that the "Result Processing" was not completed by WF-BATCH.
In this situation, will the SWPC be useful in troubleshooting the COMPLETED witems ? Pl clarify. I don't have access to SWPC right now and will definitely explore this.
My biggest concern on this is, let us say, we have somany TRIP's in the middle of the approval process and the managers have already approved from their end. But, if the WF-BATCH is locked and no one noticed for a while, then it'll be a big task to identify each of these witems and Re-process them, even with SWPC,Right ?
Please update on this.
Thanks

Table for Invoice release date

Hello,
Can anyone tell me the table name in which I can get the Invoice release date (Invoice was blocked previously and released with MRBR). I want the date at which it is released through MRBR.
Thanks,
Input

Dear Input_Output,
When ever we perform LIV and is blocked for payment (due to price variance or other variance) is stored on table RBKP_BLOCKED
Now when we release it through t. Code MRBR that time its get deleted from RBKP_BLOCKED
Now to get the date of release Use can Use table CDHDR
Where OBJECTID =Invoice no+year (e.g 51056066022011 where is 5105606602 invoice no 2011 is year)
Tcode =MRBR
You will get the fields called UDATE and UTIME these are your release date and release time
Hope it clears

Where is event 'READY_FOR_WORKFLOW' triggered for invoice p-c workflow?

Dear forum members,
I am setting up process-controlled workflow in SRM 7.0 (SP 7) for invoices and have found when saving an invoice with errors that the new process-controlled workflow does not get triggered. It works OK for invoices without errors.
How can I find where the event 'READY_FOR_WORKFLOW' is triggered to check whether the workflow is only triggered on certain conditions? I have looked all over the system but can't find anywhere yet.
Thanks a lot in advance,
Nick

Hi,
I solved this myself. There are checks in include LBBP_PDF0L (form PROCDOC_SAVE) which prevent invoice approval workflow starting for us.
The checks for starting the process-controlled workflow are shown from line 505:
      ELSEIF lv_pdo_layer_active NE lc_true.
        DATA lr_status         TYPE REF TO crm_jest.
        DATA lv_start_process TYPE abap_bool VALUE abap_undefined.
        DATA lv_version_no     TYPE char08. " initial version number
        DATA lv_process_status TYPE char4.
        CONSTANTS:
          lc_process_status_initial TYPE char4 VALUE 'INIT'.
        " check, if 'In Approval' status (I1015) or
        " 'Currently In Release Process' (I1052 for invoice) is set as new status
        LOOP AT x_status REFERENCE INTO lr_status.
          CHECK ( lr_status->stat EQ /sapsrm/if_pdo_status_c=>gc_pdo_rel_process OR "I1015

BADI for PO release through ME29n

Hi Experts,
I have to send an IDOC as & when user release the Purchase order from ME29n. I got a user exit 'M06E0004' for release strategy but it sends idoc when i open the Transaction ME29n. Instead of that i have to send it on the click on that release button.
Can anyone please tell me the BADI for this and the method in which i have to write the code for button click to send the IDOC.
Regards,
Manish

that means there is no BADI for PO release.
the problem is i dont no these config steps as i never did any config work.
I will try whatever the thread says.
Again i want 1 more BADI for repeat output functionality. Purchase Order to be automatically re-sent (if changes are made) from the Repeat Output function within ME22n messages. If changes are made the relevant personnel will manually trigger a reprint of the order using the Repeat Output function, this needs to trigger the idoc to be re-sent.
Regards
Manish

Purchase req release through workflow

Hi all,
         i am under the process of releasing purchase req in workflow its a overall release there are two business objects for that one is bus2009 and the other is 2105 actually 2105 is for overall release but there are no attributes for that particular object if i need to add any value as expression in my mail do i need to create my own attribute or is there any other way to handle this.....
Thanks

The required value that is required for Release is Release Code. If you are using Standard Wflow then this is passed along with event only you have to make sure you have proper configuration in SPRO. The PR number gets passed automatically thu event. You can make use of Workflow Template WS00000038.
Any custom stuff you can code in Attribute but in that case you have to create a subtype of standard Business object and then code in it and then delegate it. You can delegate by
SWO1->Give Business Object Name->Settings->Delegate
Check this link for programming related to attributes

PR release through Workflow

HI Gurus
My requirement is to configure \ use existing Workflow template to fulfill following requirments.
As soon as PR is being created , it should be email ( outlook) to the first release authorty. when first release authority relase it , If approved then email(outlook) to next release authority and if fail then email to requisitioner back.
is there any standard workflow that meet such arequirment.
what steps need to done for Outlook email integration with SAP.
thanks
Thomas

Great Gurus
Hi to all
there are couple of things.
i am using WS00000389 ( standard workflow PR - item level release ( with classification ) . Business Object BUS2009. I copied this workflow and worked on it. At first it was not running because element Release Code ( Workflow containter ) > display . it is linked \ taken from ABAP Dic. Reference Structure RM06B Filed FRGAB . further this is linked with table T16IE. finally i conclude this is the table of Relase codes but for Release Procedure withOut Classification , whether i am thinking this release code should be linked with Release code with classifcation. Table name V_T16FC .
what is the scene behind.
to run this in Se11 , table T161E, i put the required relase codes . then it started working.
but i think is incorrect . May be i should link it with correctly. but i dont know the correct structre\table. or there is something else.
Secondly . there are three Relase codes in my PR. as soon as workflow triggers ( Workflow > Basic data > Start Events> rlease step created ) . workflow sends the Pr information to the three release codes. whether i think , at first it should send the information to first PR Approver ( first relae code ), if he\she approved it , then it should be forwarded to next PR Approver Inbox. and so on.
How we can achieve this.
Thanks for giving time.
Thomas

Workflow not starting for invoice posting through MIRO...

Hi,
I have a blocked invoice workflow in Release status. The business object BUS2081 is used and POSTED event is activated in the workflow.
Hello Gurus,
Now when I try to post invoice through MIRO, the workflow does not start. I go to top called service for object icon and click on Workflow, but I cannot see the workflow started.
Please help.
Regards,
Rajesh.

Hi
This was already discussed. Check in SWEL Tcode whether the Posted Event is getting triggered or not. If not then find out whether this event gets triggered automatically or through Coding. If thru coding check ur code. If thru config check ur config.
Please close thread when this gets resolved

Hi Narsingh Panigrahi,
Have you checked this function module as i suggested previously.
Function Module--TELEPHONE_FROM_TO
Since configuration is not done in our system i cant test this function module
In this function module they have used this table TSP01
The fields are
RQTELELAN--country
RQTELENUMTelecommunications partnerfrom
RQTELENUMETelecommunications partnerto
Function Module--TELEPHONE_FROM_TO
In this function module they have used this table TSP01
The fields are
RQTELELAN--country
RQTELENUMTelecommunications partnerfrom
RQTELENUMETelecommunications partnerto
When you are entering the telephone number you have give prefix country code ( for US it is 011) and at the end of the number you have to give the to country code that is ( for IN it is 91).
Try this and let me know.

Controlling time of EDI dispatch in output type for invoice

Hi Gurus,
I am trying to change the setting for invoice dispatch through EDI
Currently the system is set so that invoice is sent (EDI) upon saving - and the desire it to make a manual decision when to send invoice
I have looked at output types in SPRO - but could not figure out how to change the setting - it is not allowing me to change. Am I missing something?
Any tips / tircks / suggestions?
Thanks. - this is urgent as YE closing nears

Go to V/40 .
select the output type that you are using for Invoicing.
double click it.
go to Default Values tab .
Change the Dispatch time to 1. Send with periodically scheduled job. .
Now the invoices will be posted only when you run the program RSNAS00.
IF this doesn't work out, Change it at COndition record level.
Regards,
Ajai

Release date set to 1/5/11 for all podcasts and iTunes U files

I have an ongoing problem with iTunes on my MacBook Pro where the release date is set to 1/5/11 for all podcasts and iTunes U files. Although I can seemingly correctly sort by release date, the date is the same across all files. Can someone advise as to how I might go about correcting this such that the actual, proper, release date is shown? Thanks in advance for the help! - mvrb

@King_Penguin thanks for your help
See below some additional info:
I have 3 Macs:
1 X MBPr 2012 (OS X 10.9.1
1 X MBPr 2012 (OS X 10.8.5)
1 X iMac 2009 (OS X 10.8.5)
1) All 3 Macs have access to same accounts and have same apps in iTunes.
2) Problem is only found on both MBPr's 2012 with one NL and 1 US account. With one NL account (inactive) I have no issue on all three.
FYI I have multiple iTunes accounts: 2 for the Netherlands and 1 for US.
I also tried this after deleting the only 2 apps I got from the US iTunes Store but that did not solve my issue.
I think the matter is related to my iTunes account(s) and NOT to a computer (prefs file)

API for PO freeze/unfreeze, hold/release hold, open, open for invoice

I know there is PO_ACTIONS.CLOSE_PO API which allow us to close the PO. We need to Freeze, Unfreeze, HOLD, release hold, open, open for invoice and open for receiving standard purchase orders. Does anyone know the Oracle API which can do this jobs. Thanks in Advance.

Currently they are not available as public APIs. Is there are specific reason you are looking for them?

Set Up Material Block for Invoice Verification

Hi,
Please share your experience for customization setting under General settings for material management "Set Up Material Block for Invoice Verification".
When should we use " Material is bloked at first read" and "Material is blocked when invoice is posted".
Does it improve MIRO transaction performance if we chnage the setting from " Material is bloked at first read" to "Material is blocked when invoice is posted"?
Thanks & Regards,
AG

Hi,
Set Up Material Block for Invoice Verification
Use: -
   In this step, you specify at what point materials are blocked in Invoice Verification:
   o   During the allocation phase, all materials present in the invoice are blocked.
   o   During simulation or posting, materials whose stocks are to be changed are blocked and are read again.
   o   Materials whose stocks are to be changed, are blocked and are read again when you post.
   When you post directly to a material, the given material is blocked immediately in all settings.
Standard settings: -
In the standard system, materials are blocked during the allocation phase.
It is suggested to block materials during allocation phase itself, so that user has not to enter all the details and then get block error at the time of Simulation or Posting. Also it improves the performance since all these transactions need not to be carried out and system informs initially that materials are blocked.
