SOFM in user decision step - provide reason in UWL

Hello Everyone,
I'm working with a customer who wants to use a user decision step and add a reason for the rejection only.  This step will be executed in UWL - since UWL doesn't support syncrhonous dialog chains, it can't be implemented by adding another step with SOFM.  I have seen the 'template with attachment' in the user decision step, and have tried binding SOFM to the Reference in the container, but the user doesn't have the option.
Perhaps this could be implemented with a secondard amodal method - which checks the user decision code and only implements if the decision was rejected.  I'd like to be able to put a condition on the secondary methods.
If you've done something like this, please let me know!
Regards
Ginger

Hi Ginger,
Unfortunately it is not only synchronous dialog chains, but also secondary methods that are not supported in the UWL, so you're stuck both ways.
Though, I have been told that the latest SP does support some kind of advance with dialog functionality (SP15 I think?).
At one customer we used a custom ABAP-based decision step which executed in a wingui session - thus synchronous dialog chains worked as long as every subsequent step was wingui based (which SOFM.CREATE obviously is) - worked quite well.
Let me know if you need more info.
Cheers,
Mike

  • User Decision step- Upon reject, auto-popup text for reason

    In a user decision step, when the user clicks the reject button, open text for rejection reason within the workitem.
    i have done the following
    1) Create a new step
    2) Create a task based on SOFM.CREATE
    3) Binded  WIOBJECT_ID => (append table) ADHOCOBJECTS
    It works fine, when the user clicks the reject button a new work item with the reason for rejection lands in the user inbox, which when clicked brings up the doc.
    I want to make it seamless for the user where as soon as the reject button is clicked, the document <b>should open right away</b> without a new work item in the inbox
    Any help will be greatly appreciated

    Hi
    If you are using the portal/UWL then search the blogs for a solution otherwise give this a try, in your step definition for the 2 steps, go to the Details tab and tick 'Advance with dialog', this will work if you execute from the business workplace.
    Good Luck!

  • User Decision step type

    Hi,
    I have developed a WF for 'Notification of Absence'. In this, a leave request is sent for approval.
    When the leave request is Rejected, the creator has to make a decision (User Decision step type used) as to 'Withdraw' or 'Update' the request. But in the inbox of the creator, there is no option for "Withdraw' and 'Update'. What could be the reason for this? Am i missing something?
    Thank you for your time.
    Ajay

    Hi AD,
    are you trying to process anything else after the Decision Step in your WF definition ?
    If yes, then what are you trying to process after it
    If no, then try what JMB said, GUI problem, I doubt that but you can try as you need to resolve it.
    Did you try removing the buffer ?
    Hope it helps.

  • User Decision Step Link

    Dear Experts,
                        I have created a custom application, in which I have to trigger the workflow. I have created a workflow and this workflow is being called through application using FM: WAPI_START_WORKFLOW. In this workflow there is a user decision step. I want to create a link of application's "change screen" in the user decision step. As I don't have BO object in this workflow; So how should I create the link of change screen?
    Regards,
    Sohail 

    Hi Sohail
    Starting a workflow using SAP_WAPI_START_WORKFLOW is not a preferred option ; instead use events to trigger the workflow by using SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT - It gives better tracking capability as well as options for queuing.
    Coming to your question, Business Object is required, you can not only create a method to display the change screen, but also provide attachments etc....a lot more is possible if you have business object instantiated.

    Thanks for your reply.
    I have got the attachments in container element attachobjects. Can you please tell me how to get the text entered by the user from this step because currently I have SOFM instance in hand.

  • Container variables in User decision Step in BPM

    Hello,
    I am using User decision Step in BPM.

  • Link in User Decision step not showing correctly in UWL

    Hi SAP Experts,
    I have a requirement to add a link in a user decision step, this link triggers a custom webdynpro for additional input. When I access the workitem from Business Workplace, the link is showing fine. But when I execute the workitem in UWL, the link is not displayed, instead the code is shown (<a>...</a>). Please advise on what I should do to have the link working. Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    This same thing was just recently discussed. I just cannot find the thread anymore (well, in that thread there was not really any solution). Basically the hyperlinks in work item do not seem to work in UWL as they should. I don't know if there are any way to make them work. My suggestion is to not use the hyperlink at all and replace that with an action (=button) to the task in the UWL. This can be achieve quite easily by simple XML configuration in portal. If you have worked with UWL this should be quite straightforward for you, or if there is a consultant at the site, who is familiar with UWL, this should be simple for him/her.

  • Looping a single branch in User Decision Step

    Hi All,
    Can anyone tell me is looping possible for a single branch in user decision step in a workflow?
    If yes, How?
    I want like to loop the step cancel and keep workitem inbox.
    Whenever the user clicks cancel and keep workitem in inbox in a user decision and again executes the WI i would like the workflow to start execution from the step just above the user decision step, i.e; Display PR.
    This is my requirement. Tell me how can i implement it?
    Thanks,
    Raj

    Hi,
    instead of doing so, you could try to enter that method as "secondary method" or "before method" within the tab-strip "Methods".
    If you used your own coding for a decision, you could enable the exception 8015 of the method's result, which is the cancel-button. If you did so, you can enable that outcome in the workflow-activity's definition.
    Best wishes,

  • Need 2 Multiline elements for user decision step

    We are on SAP R/3 Enterprise version.
    I have this requirement to find agents based on the agent type and work center field.  So I created a responsibility rule for each type of agent type.  The responsibility rule is keyed on the work center, and HR positions are mapped to each responsibility rule’s work center field. 
    We have 50 agent types/responsibility rules, 60 work centers, and 1 or more positions for each agent type and work center combinations. Due to the total number of positions, I prefer to use 1 responsibility rule per agent type for ease of maintenance.
    I have a FM that reads the responsibility rule based on the agent type and work center field and retrieve the agent_list.  I used this FM/method/step prior to my user decision step and pass the agent_list to the UD step via container.
    In my user decision step, the ‘Other’ tab does not have Multiline element for me to enter my agent_list.  So I cannot use &agent_list[&_WF_PARFOREACH_INDEX&]& in my user decision agent assignment expression field.
    In my last job, we have SAP ECC 5.0, the UD step has a ‘Misc’ tab that has Multiline element, but our current SAP R/3 Enterprise version does not have ‘Misc’ tab, it only has ‘Other’ tab.
    Question:
    1.  How do I use [&_WF_PARFOREACH_INDEX&] without Multiline element for agent_list in UD step?
    2. I have to use the same way to retrieve my LED_agent_list as well, so I need 2 Multiline elements in my UD step. But normally in  ‘Other’ tab, it allows you to define only 1 Multiline element. How do I get around this restriction?
    3. My last resort is to use 1 responsibility rule, then I can use the rule in the agent assignment.  If that is the case, is there any limit on the number of entries in the rule?
    Thanks.
