Standard or Custom workflow

Guys & Gals,
How would you find out if a given workflow is a standard or custom workflow.
Thanks for advice in advance.
Warm Regards
Raaj

Hi Raj,
The main difference is seen by the workflow number.
Standard workflows start with numbers like 1,2 etc...
e.g: WS14000002
Custom workflows start with the prefix set by the basis team in SWU3 configuration.
The prefixs generally start with 8 or 9, so any worklfow starting with WS8 or WS9 would be a custom workflow.
eg: WS95100010
Hope this helps!

Custom workflow integrated into SAP Standard

I have a requirement were the business would like a workflow to create material master, but prior to actually creating the material they have a form that needs passed around and approved my many business units. Once all approvals are obtained a material master can be created. What I would like is to create a custom BOR and event to route the form and get approvals, but I would like to some how carry over or link this custom workflow with the SAP standard for material master so you can view the log of who and what was approved for this material. Any suggestions?

Hi,
Create a workflow or copy the SAP standard. Insert a fork step with the number for branches corresponding to the number of approvals you need. Say you need 5 approvals, have 5 branches and 5 required for completion.
In each branch use a Form step or a custom method to get the approval.
After the fork has completed then insert your step which call the CREATE method for your material.
Everything will be contained in the workflow log.

Hi Gaurav

http://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/display/ERPHCM/Workflow+Customizings+in+Travel+Management
Travel management workflow temapltes you mentioned in your query are teiggered from event CREATED of busines object BUS2089. You just need to define same event as triggerimg event for your cust workflow in basic data setting (hat symbol) in swdd. Also go to standard workflow templates in swdd and check if event linkages are active (in green) if yes then dwactivate it by clicking on option A gree icon or by going in transaction SWETYPV.

How to invoke a custom Workflow in standard PCR

Dear gurus,
I would like to invoke a custom Workflow from the standard PCR for Transfers. Do you have any idea how I can achieve this.
Thanks!
Vivek.

Hi,
In QISRSCENARIO transaction, Open your ISR scenario. SAP has delivered SPPS for internal transfers. Open SPPS. At the end of the screen click on "Additional Data for Scenario".
Here the WF is defined.
Change it to what u want. You will need to adopt ur new WF to std delivered one.
For more information please have a look at

Hi,
I am facing similar kind of error.
I have set up the new OBI applications environment with Informatica 8.6.1. I have started the repository and integration service. I am able to run the customized mapping successfully. But when I try to run the vanilla mapping, it throws an error.
ERROR : VAR_27086 : (221230|7712) Cannot find specified parameter file [b2b/b2binf/server/infa_shared/SrcFiles/SDE_SBL_Vert_78_Adaptor.SIL_CopyRunTableToOLTP.txt] for [session [SIL_CopyRunTableToOLTP.SIL_CopyRunTableToOLTP]].
What I observed is there is no such file SDE_SBL_Vert_78_Adaptor.SIL_CopyRunTableToOLTP.txt in the src file directory. Do I get this parameter file with the installation? I have copied all the src files that were generated by the OBI apps installation into the src file directory but it did not have this file.
This is the case for all vanilla mappings.
Please let me know where can I get these parameter files.
Thanks,
Phani.

How to register custom workflow in oracle apps ?

Hello
I am new to workflow. I have customized an oracle standard workflow and now i want to register this custom one. Please help how to register the custom workflow. What steps need to achieve this.
Thanks

Hi,
You may or may not need to "register" the workflow - it depends on the changes that you made and which Item Type you modified. Some applications are essentially hard-coded to use a specific item type and process, some hard-coded to use an item type but you can configure the process to use, and some allow you to specify which item type and which process to use.
Without knowing exactly what you have done, though, there is no specific advice that anyone can give you here on what you need to do, apart from to ensure that you have saved the new definition to the database.

SAP GRC 3.0 Custom workflow

Hi,
We are implementing GRC3.0 with portal intergration. The standard workflow appears to be working fine.
I have a requirement of either customizing the standard workflow or creating a custom workflow to allow exceptions and remediation notifications to be sent to more than one recipient.
As far I I know, standard workflow just allows 1 recipient.
If I choose to create a custom workflow, how do I configure it in GRC (how do I point GRC to call this custom workflow, instead of the standard one)?
Considering I have a limited knowledge about the workflows, any sort of help will be appreciated.
Regards.

Replace AR Credit Memo Request Workflow with a new Custom Workflow

Hello friends,
We have a business requirement to replace the AR Credit Memo Request Workflow with a new Custom Workflow whenever an Invoice is disputed (Oracle Advanced Collections).
The Credit Memo Request workflow is being launched within the Oracle API arw_cmreq_cover. We thought of an approach wherein the Oracle form IEXINDTL.fmb can be renamed and the Custom workflow to be called in the WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger on Dispute Button instead of calling the program Unit IEXINDTL_CONTROL.DISPUTE (as in standard form) which inturn calls several API's and hence the AR Credit Memo Request Workflow. But this would override the other standard processes being carried out in these API's. Our requirement is to only replace the AR Credit Memo Request Workflow and not to override the other standard processes.
Does anyone have come across the similar requirement? Please let us know your inputs.
Thanks in Advance !

I ran across the same error today. Since it's been over a month, I assume you've fixed it already or decided you didn't need it at all? What was your fix?
For me, I noted that in the sample directory, a similar "createView" call (in End User Anonymous Enrollment) also includes this argument:
<Argument name='viewId' value='User'/>
When I added that to my createView call, the "Missing view id" error went away, and the user are gets created.
I'm not entirely comfortable with the value specified, though; seems like view IDs should be more unique. I would have thought it should have been something like this instead:
<Argument name='viewId' value='User:$(accountId)'/>

How we can find the customized workflow in Oracle Apps 11.5.10.2

Hi all,
I am new to Oracle Workflow and I want to know, How many customized workflow is running in my oracle apps 11.5.10.2.
Thanks & Regards
Rakesh Kumar

An another possibility is to do the opposite to what I just wrote. Upload the true definition to the database an compare with the one you are not sure about via SQL:
1. Backup the WFT file where the standard/seeded workflow is provided
2. Edit it and change the name of the ITEM_TYPE. For instance, change it from OEOL to OEOL_TMP (cannot exceed 8 characters)
3. Upload it to the database with WFLOAD
4. Compare the design tables for the two if them (WF_ITEM_TYPES, WF_ACTIVITIES, WF_MESSAGES, WF_PROCESS_ACTIVITIES, WF_ITEM_ATTRIBUTES, etc). If the table provides a VERSION column then the query would need to use a WHERE END_DATE is null (so that you get only the active/current version of the object). A select... MINUM select would do the job.
I would do this in test though, to avoid a mistake can cause any issues.

Alejandro

Changing standard or Custom attributes

N Level approval custom workflow

Hi, I have a requirement to implement N-Level approval custom workflow.
I am aware that there is standard SRM N-Level approval but I need a customized one.
Could you please provide any documentation/inputs on this.
Regards,
Prasad

Hello,
Documentation on how to implement an N-level approval workflow? That's very generic; just what are you expecting?
What have you tried?
Make a workflow with a loop that checks if any further approval is needed.

Adding Validator step in MDG Customer workflow

Hello All,
I need to add validator step in MDG - Customer workflow - WS54300003 and process is, requestor will create CR and it should go to Validator. Once he approves then it should go to final approval team. Currently it is going to final approval stage at first step itself.
I added that additional step(Validator) to workflow templete(WS54300003) under processing modeling->workfloe->other MDG workflow->Define Change Request Step Numbers. Also, assigned process at ...-->Assign processor to Change Request Step Number (Simple Workflow).
Seems i am still missing some thing. Could you please guide me what else need to be done? we are on MDG 6.1

step numbers are hard-coded in this workflow template (WS54300003). if you open any task container, you will see the value of the step in the container of that task.
any way, you should not modify workflow WS54300003 as that is considered modification to standard objects. you can copy it to a custom workflow template and then add any new step as you like. you can assign whatever number you like to any step as long as the numbers in the workflow template are consistent with the numbers assigned in the MDGIMG configuration node.
A recommended solution is to use the rule-based workflow template. your MDG process will be much more dynamic and a lot easier to modify/enhance going forward.
this document can help you understand how you can use the rule-based workflow template: How to Fill MDG Rule-Based Workflow Decision Tables

Assigning a Custom Workflow.

Hi,
I want to ask that How to assign/attach a custom design WorkFlow to an Oracle Standard Form.
For Example:
In Move Orders there is a planner to which the notification is forwarded. I want to attach a custom design workflow in this form, which will react according to my transaction type.
Feel free to ask any question.
Regards,
Muhammad Hasan.

Hi Muhammad,
If i understood correctly, you need to trigger a custom workflow through a standard form.
This is very much possible using PL/SQL to create and to start a workflow, for this you need to customize form.
Secondly, if the workflow behavior is dependent on any parameter then, block the flow initially and release the block from the response location.
Hope this information is helpful to you.
Regards,
Praveen.
