Sharepoint Designer - Two step List Workflow task item is not changing the status from not started to Complete
Hi
Using SPD i am creating list workflow.
Scenario: Employee submits a request . Task assign to manager. Manager can either approve/ reject. If approve then change the state column to "done". If rejected the state column to "Rejected".
Problem is "Assign a to do item" is assigning the task to manager. But after manager approves the status in the task list not changed to "Completed". Still it is showing "Not started". I dont want to manually complete the task.
Please help me for automatic process.
What i should do to change the status to "Complete" automatically after manager approval
Regards

Hi Janani,
From your description, you would like to create an approval workflow for a list. When an employee submit a request to the list, an approval task should be assigned to manager, then manager could approve or reject the request. From the request list,
we should be able to see the Approval task’s status.
Not understand the reason of designing the workflow to two steps, an approval action should be enough from my understanding. For producing, I create a list named Request list, then customize it in InfoPath form to add a Request field for stating request
content. Then add a workflow to list named Approval task, add the action of Start an approval process with administrator and make the workflow automatically start when item is added.
The image below shows the status of Adding items, Approving and Rejecting. Please check if it could meet your requirement.

SharePoint Designer 2013 cannot access workflows in Office 365 Site
I have an Office 365 SharePoint site with a number of workflows that I have created on my machine with SPD 2013. After a number of weeks I was unable to access the workflows from my machine through SPD (while still being able to access pages, site assets
etc.), getting the following error: (Am restricted from submitting images)
"Server-side activities have been updated. You need to restart SharePoint Designer to use the updated version of activities"
Restarting SPD doesn't help, after clicking OK I get the "SharePoint Designer cannot display the item" screen, prompting me to refresh.
When I do refresh, I get the following:
"Windows Workflow Foundation, part of .Net Framework 3.0, must be installed to use this feature"
This is happening on my machine, Windows 7 64 Bit, SPD 2013 64 Bit, but on a colleague's machine, Win 7 64 Bit, SPD 2013 64 Bit I can access the workflows.
I get the same error if I try to create a new Workflow on my machine but I can create it on my colleague's machine.
I downloaded SPD 2013 on a 32 bit laptop I have access to, in which I can create a workflow. One existing workflow can be accessed, updated etc. with no issue, one opens to a prompt to "Insert a stage" and one tells me that it "Failed to load
the workflow definition for the workflow", then the "SharePoint Designer cannot display the item" screen. All of these workflows can be accessed from my colleague's machine.
Here are the actions that I have taken to date on my own machine:
Cleared the caches multiple times
Checked for updates
Installed .Net Framework 4.5
Re-installed .Net Framework 4.0 (which contains 3.0)
Uninstalled and re-installed SPD 2013
Due to issues with a workflow on the site I am in contact with MS Support who are aware of this issue, they sent me a link to a hot fix that was already installed but they have no concrete idea of what might be going on.
I was convinced that it was an issue on my machine, but I don't know what the issues that I have seen on the 32 bit SPD on the new laptop mean.
I have been searching the internet for a fix with no success, I would appreciate any help.
Thanks
MickHi,
According to your post, my understanding is that SharePoint Designer 2013 cannot access workflows in Office 365 Site.
There was an issue recently when a service release was implemented that incremented the version number in the HTML header on some SharePoint online sites to '16' when SPD was expecting '15'.
I suggest to install internet explore 10 and install a patch for IE10. Then test with "open with windows explore" then opened in SPD from sharepoint online.
In addition, I suggest that in SPD go to Account > Switch Account and type in the credentials of the site you are trying to open (it defaults to your Microsoft Login).
If the issue persists, to troubleshoot this issue, you can uninstall all versions of SharePoint Designer on workstation, clear cache and then reinstalling the latest SharePoint Designer. For the detailed information, you can refer to the

When syncing my iTunes to my iPad from the laptop, I get a list of missing songs; they are in the library, but not in the music folder on my HD. In particular, I uploaded 3 CDs at the same time, all are in my library, and all synced to the iPad - but the music from two of them are missing from the music folder. Questions are (a) where might they have gone? and (b) is there a way of "reverse loading" them back to my hard drive from the iPad? Thanks in advance!
Hi dones49,
It sounds like your issue here is that iTunes can not find the files for some of the songs you have brought into it. This happens occasionally even if the songs have not been moved from the location that iTunes places them on import or purchase. When you try to use the song, iTunes prompts you to find the file, as you have seen.
To find the file, use the information in this article to navigate through the iTunes media folders -
Locate and organize your iTunes files
If you are still unable to locate the files, you may need to download them from the iTunes store again, or rip them from your CDs. See this article for assistance with downloading your past purchases -
Download past purchases
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

If I have two users on one itunes account, can I change the payment method on one without loosing the purchases on that user? If so how do I do this?
If so how do I do that

How to change the status of test cases in Test Plan from Design to Ready using Excel VBA
HI,
How to change the status of test cases in Test Plan from Design to Ready using Excel VBAThanks Florin,
Your piece of code has worked alot, and it was very helpful in changing the Status of the Workitem to "READY" for all the Users fo the workitem.
Points have been rewarded for your help.
Process: We have acheived this using the "Work Item Exits", Usng "AFTER_EXECUTION" Method.
Note: The Exit will be executed if "exit_cancelled" statement is present/used in the work item method. if not it is not taking to the exit code. I'm unable to find the reason for it. Florin can u please explain this point.
Please check the link for adding the code in Work Item Exits.
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ABAP/ProgramExitsIn+Workflow
Please find the Code:
method IF_SWF_IFS_WORKITEM_EXIT~EVENT_RAISED.
Get the context of the workitem
me->wi_context = im_workitem_context.
After execution of the workitem call the method AFTER_EXECUTION
if im_event_name eq swrco_event_after_execution.
me->after_execution( ).
endif.
endmethod.
METHOD AFTER_EXECUTION.
This method acts as the Event Handler for SWRCO_EVENT_AFTER_EXECUTION
DATA: LCL_L_WID TYPE SWW_WIID,
L_STATUS TYPE SWR_WISTAT-STATUS,
L_NEW_STATUS TYPE SWR_WISTAT,
L_SWR_MESSAG TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF SWR_MESSAG,
L_SWR_MSTRUC TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF SWR_MSTRUC.
Get work item
CALL METHOD WI_CONTEXT->GET_WORKITEM_ID
RECEIVING
RE_WORKITEM = LCL_L_WID.
L_STATUS = 'READY'.
CALL FUNCTION 'SAP_WAPI_SET_WORKITEM_STATUS'
EXPORTING
WORKITEM_ID = LCL_L_WID
STATUS = L_STATUS
USER = SY-UNAME
LANGUAGE = SY-LANGU
DO_COMMIT = 'X'
IMPORTING
NEW_STATUS = L_NEW_STATUS
RETURN_CODE = SY-SUBRC

Changing the status of the sales order item based on reason for rejection
Hi All,
When a Sales order item is rejected then the status at the item level is changed as 'TECO'.When the reason for rejection is removed the status 'Teco' is reset.This status change can be achieved using the user exit 'MV45AFZZ'.But the exit does not allow re-atp calculation whenver a blocked item is release.I have use the exit 'MV45AFZB' ,through this the status change as well as re-atp calculation takes place.But the status changed(Based on reason of rejection) does not appear in the same screen.The change gets reflected only when the sakes order is saved and i open it again.
I want the status change to appear in the same screen.I am doing my code in the form 'userexit_check_vbap' of the exit 'MV45AFZB'. Please let me know if there are any user exits or BADI's available for the same(Changing the status of the sales order item based on reason for rejection ).
Regards,
S.SubasreeHi subburamaiah
If you want the report you can create a separate SIS report . In that take the input field as a Reason for rejection.. and ask for the output the list of sales orders .Now when you check this user defined report you will give the reason for rejection and check what all orders got rejected on that reason for rejection.

2 Select lists do not change the value
Hi all,
I am having a situation. I have 2 select lists . The second one is dependent of the first one. Data are retrieved perfectly.
These select lists are done in page 0 and they are used in the referenced page. Apexlib is used in the page 0
When I change the item of the second list, the returned value used in a report, is ok. It takes the correct one.
If I change the item of the fist select list, the returned value of the second select list does not change(the displayed value are correct). the report is run (after changing the first select list) but the wrong returned value of the second list is taken.
The correct value of the second one is taken only if page is submited or we change the option.
it seems that it keeps the last value of the second list according to the previous selection.
Both select list is without submit.
How can I make a "refresh" of the returned values of the second select list (the records are ok) after changing the first one?
Thanks in advance
RafHi Rafael,
is ApexLib integrated correct? Did you check against http://apexlib.oracleapex.info/howto_integrate_manual_steps.html ?
Or did you try and install the ApexLib Feature Demonstration Application and see if it works there?

The new iTunes 12 does not have a rent tab. I've downloaded two movies which appear in the Movies folder on my Windows Explorer but not in the actual iTunes programme itself. Completely frustrating! Where can I find these two movies to watch? It asked me once it was downloaded if I wanted to watch it but I wasn't ready to and now can't find where to play these again.
When iTunes/iPod sync process failed due to timeout, the iPod, has only the initilaised filesytem structure at the start of the Sync.
The timeout failure could be due to
Bad hardisk - do the iPod disk diagnostic, refer to this excellent post by tt2
Slow USB port or resource - Dont use any USB hub, disconnect all other USB devices while syncing
Timeout due to Antivirus or other plugins - disconnect from Internet and stop the Antivirus or monitoribng software if you are syncing.
Preferably stop doing other things while syncing this ancient device, which the latest iTunes designer, think will soon be extinct.
Have a nice day! -
How to set the item property to restrict the user to not to copy from above
Hi Guru's,
I have a requirement like, There were two items on the form name email Id, Confirm email Id.
I have to ristrict the user to not to copy from email Id item.. make him/her to enter the value into confirm email id item field manually.
How to set the item property to restrict the user to not to copy from above item and paste it in this item.
Please help.
Thanks!!Just an opinion here, but that is about the dumbest requirement I have ever seen.
I am always annoyed by web sites that ask me to enter my email twice. I ALWAYS copy the email address from the original entry and paste it into the second one.
People enter their email addresses so often, it takes a real klutz to not get it right. And what makes you think that if they enter it twice, that they won't enter it wrong both times anyway??? -
I have both Photoshop 4 and Photoshop 6 on my computer. When I am in Bridge and want to open an image by double clicking, it automatically opens in 6. I see, when I go to "open with" 6 is listed as "default" How can I change the default to open an image with a double click in 4?
You can associate files from the Bridge level and the Desktop level.
In Bridge CS4, go to Preferences > File Type Associations and change it to Photoshop CS4 for the file types you want.
If you want to open files from the Windows Desktop in CS4, these are the instructions:
Do this from the Windows Desktop:
If you want your image file to open in Photoshop and it doesn't, right click on it and choose
Open with > Choose default program… select Photoshop CS4 or CS6 and checkmark "always use the selected program to open this type of file". -

Change the status profile assigned to the line item from PROFA TO PROFB
Hi Experts,
The issue we are having relates more to the fact that the code we have written is changing the item category, however the status profile has already been retrieved from configuration based on the original item category and therefore the status selection that we are getting is incorrect.
Item Category A -> Status Profile PROFA
Item Category B -> Status Profile PROFB
For example we have a line item and item category A is determined through config, this then retrieves its associated status profile PROFA. However we have then coded the system to change item category A to item category B. However the status profile still remains PROFA.
We need to find a way to change the status profile assigned to the line item from PROFA to PROFB.
any quick inputs from any one please......
Thanks in advance

Change the Status to Open Items
Hi
How can we change the Status of GL Master to Open Item. We have balances in the GL Account
SatishHello,
You can put tick box for the GL Account "Open item" tick box though it has some posting.
You have forgotten to tick the "open item" check box and number of posting are being happened, the question now you want to make it as open item. You have the solution here.
1. Block the GL account in question in FS00 for any postings
2. Take ABAPer help to copy the program RFSEPA01 to ZRFSEPA01 and initialization check needs to be commented in the program
3. Run the program ZRFSEPA01 (Give relevant company code and GL account in question)
4.Remove the block that has been put on GL account in point 1.
Now, if you see you will have a check box ticked for GL Account with open item.
Hope this solves your issue.

Item got stuck with the status of "Ready to Release"
I have one iten with huge quantity in Sales order.. i have transacted it.. but now there is some change in qunatity .. so now i am trying to backorder this line, now when i back ordered the line... some of it`s items got stuck in the status of Ready to Release status... i have released the sales order 3 times still it`s status is not changing.. can you tell me how to solve this issue.. i want to back order the line, which is stuck in the status of Ready to Release status...it`s little urgent...
ThanksHi,
Are there any ship sets? Is the order or order line on hold?
How are you releasing these order lines: from Transactions form or from Release Sales Order Form? If you are using transactions form, what is your default staging sub inventory? Is your item enabled to be transacted in this sub inventory? Is the sub inventory under locator control? If so, have you defined a default stage locator?
If you are using Release Sales Order Form, in folder Order, did you change the order parameter from “Unreleased” to “All”? Is Prior Reservations Only checked? If so, uncheck it. If it is checked; only orders with reservations will be released.

Ketter Ohnes
