Start a Task Process assigns tasks in the reverse order

Hello,
I am using SPD2013 and Sharepoint 2013 Online.
I am using 'Start a Task Process' using people from the Person or Group Lookup column that allows multiple selections.
For some reason, the 'Start a Task Process' action assigns the participants in the reverse order. I am currently assigning the participants using...
'Workflow Lookup for a User'
Data Source: Current Item
Field from Source: the Person/Group Lookup
Return Field as: Display Name; Semicolon Delimited.
The problem is not isolated to just one workflow, but all workflows in the sharepoint site. I tried deleting the workflow and remaking it but I am still having the same problem.
The tasks are assigned as expected if I don't use 'Workflow lookup for a User."
Has anyone run into this issue before? Thanks for all of your help.

Hi CalvinKwon,
How did you set the participants when the workflow work as expect? Set users one by one?
Are you using “Serial(one at a time)” or “Parallel(all at once)” for assigning tasks?
I did a test and found that:
If I used “Serial(one at a time)” , the order of assigning task is random regardless of using “'Workflow lookup for a User” or one by one.
If I used “Parallel(all at once)”, the order of assigning task is right regardless of using “'Workflow lookup for a User” or one by one.
I could not reproduce this issue on my SharePoint On-premise, it seems to only happen on SharePoint Online.
Please test with “Start Approval Process” action using SharePoint 2010 platform.
And as this issue is about SharePoint Online, I suggest you create a new thread on Office 365 forum. The reason why we recommend posting appropriately is you will get the most qualified pool of respondents, and other partners who read the forums regularly
can either share their knowledge or learn from your interaction with us. Thank you for your understanding.

Assign batches at the sales order level

Hi
Client wants to assign batches at the sales order level and keep ttack of the batch quantity at the same level.

Hi,
You want to assign the batch at sales order level is possible but you have to choose
the batch using CTRL + TAB in QTY Field before add the document.
Once you not choose batch system allow to add the sales order without allocate batch.

[Execute SQL Task] Error: An error occurred while assigning a value to variable "PartitionDate": "Exception from HRESULT: 0xC0015005".

Does your package variable datatype match the datatype of your parameter?
Is your Package variable assigned to the parameter in the task editor?
And does the parameter name in the task editor match the parameter names in your stored procedure?

Access to BPM Task/Process CONTEXT data with the BPM Java API

Dear all,
is there a possible way to extract the content data from a process Instance? We want to read out all the data of the current intstances from a backend system. The API CE7.3 SP3 supports only (or we didn't find it) Instance Header data (like start-time,..)
Regards,
Christian

Hi
There's no straight way to retreive process instance context variables.
But In my mind, there is a hack way - find appropriate tables in oracle db, where BPEM stores information about process instances and read it with jdbc.

The Creator of an Assigned Tasks is not Updated when Changed from Mobile Device

We have a Shared Mailbox where we create Tasks and assign them to the appropriate engineer. In Outlook, if they open and modify the assigned task, after they have accepted it of course, and then save it, a message is received in the Shared Mailbox with the
update. When that is opened and closed, the task on the Shared Mailbox is updated.
However, if that Task is updated on a mobile device, WP8.1 in this case, the creator does not get a new message with the changes. If the assigned user looks at it in Outlook, he/she will see the changes. But the originator never receives a message
with the changes.
Am I missing something or is this by design? Thank you in advance for any assistance.

Scheduled start and finish dates in the Work order.

Hi Friends,
I am facing peculiar issue that once the Work order has been released schedule start and finish dates should be derived from the control key and
operation hours and work center capacity,infact in my case while releasing the Work order,these dates (scheduled start & finish) are not been
populating in the Work order,(but SAP standard behavior is while releasing WO,the dates should be populated).
though i have maintained proper configuration
could you please light up some thing on it.

Urgent: How to bring the same pricing procedure in reversal order??

Hi,
We have recently implementated CIN at our client location. For the orders present in the system before CIN implementation, when we are creating the reversal orders, system is bringing the new pricing procedure with CIN condition types?
Can we bring the same pricing procedure in the reversal order as in the sales order?
Please advise urgently.
Regards,
Peeyoosh.

Dear Peeyoosh
I am unable to understand from your comments
"For the orders present in the system before CIN implementation, when we are creating the reversal orders"
Please let me know how do you reverse a sale order. To my knowledge, we can reverse delivery and billing but not sale order. Either we can close the sale order by assigning some reason for rejection or delete the sale order.
This being the case, please let me know why you are reversing and how you are reversing. If you want the same pricing procedure for both normal sales and returns, then maintain the same pricing procedure for both document types.
thanks

What is the effect of the planned order after it is converted to production

Hello Gurus,
1.There was a planned order with wrong date 2041 instead of 2011
2. plannedorder is already converted to production order and is visble in assignment tab of the production order
3.when I am tryng to display the planned order it gives error planned order is not exists.
4. Production order is already delivered
Now will there be any effect on finanace or any other ,if the planned order was created with wrong date,
can we now change the date of planned order , but it says does not exist as it is already converted to prod order.
Please let me know the implications of wrong date and how we can correct the date from 2041 to 2011
Thanks in Advance
Himakar

Dear Himakar,
As explained by our forum member,once after the planned order is converted into production order,the entire planned order
details gets deleted from table PLAF and the planned order dates can be changed in the production order and there is no
business impact other than the planned/production/actual dates.
However the planned order no deatils can be checked in the production order.

STO creation against the Work Order

How to specify the source plant or source storage location within PM Work Order for the components/materials.
Currently on the components page of work order, we can specify the material and vendor. In our case the vendor is other storage location within same plant or diff. plant.
How can we specify the source in components page so that PRs and reservations are created correctly.
In details here is the problem-
During work order (PM Order) creation user is specifying a non-stock material and issuing storage location "0002". The material will be issued by sto. loc. 0002.
Storage location "0002" sources this material from other storage location "0001".
So we want to generate a Purch Req. with item category "U", account assignment 'F" (with work order) and ability to specify the source plant-storage location.
But the system is creating a normal expense PR with account assignment "F" to the work order. This PR is having grayed out item category so not able to convert into Stock Transport STR by specifying the source plant and storage location.

Hi MM
Have you solved your problem? What did you do to create the STR?

When I try to insert several pdf files into an initial one, they consistently are attached in reverse order, no matter how I instruct the program. How do I correct this?

I am working with Acrobat X Pro. I open a pdf, then try to insert several files, in a specific order, into the first one. No matter whether I instruct it to place the files after the first, last or name a page number, the files are inserted in reverse order after the initial file. How do I overcome this problem?

Thanks Bill !! for providing the simple answer - this has saved me much work. I always assumed that Acrobat would either a) sort the inserted files alphanumerically or b) use the sort order of the OS's file selector. The c) answer of inserting the files in the reverse order of the OS file selector (since Acrobat will reverse that order) eluded me until now.
It's clearly a bug in the program, I'm using Acrobat X Pro, but had the exact same problem with Acrobat 7 - never occurred to me to sort the file listing in reverse alphanumeric order in order to have Acrobat insert them in correct alphanumeric order.
Thank!

The Song order in my AppleTV playlists

The song order within my playlists on my AppleTV are in the reverse order from those on my computer. How can I get them to be the same?

The easy answer is to reverse the song list in itunes, just click on the heading 'name' in the itunes window.
I somehow suspect that you want the list on the tv to be the same as itunes and not itunes to be the same as the tv though, unfortunately the listing on the tv is set by default so you cannot do this.

How to assign default values to "Start task process" SPD2013 action

I am creating a task in SPD 2013 list workflow using the "Start a task process" action. I have the ContentTypeId field set as i need to have some specific fields to be displayed in the task form.
Is there anyway to assign values to these fields?. My goal here is to fetch some values from the "currentItem" fields and display in the Task form during the approval. So that the Approvar don't need to go and see the actual list item.

Hi,
If you would like to display fields about current item in Task form, please click
these user in Workflow, and
Start a Task Process dialog pops out. Then click Open editor for body >
Add or Change Look up, then you could retrieve field data.

How to find out the users assigned tasks within a GP process using GP API?

All,
I am trying to get details of all the running GP processes. As a part of this, I need to get the user information of who is assigned a task within a process.
Any inputs on this ?
Do I have to use the IGPProcessRoleInstance interface? Also how do I get the execution context of all the callable objects within the process?
-Thanks in advance

When i double-click the mozilla icon, it doesn't start. In the task manager i noted that the process "firefox.exe" appears and desappear after 5 seconds. The problem remains in mozilla safe-mode, but not in windows safe-mode. Thks!

Yesterday i installed the firefox 6.0 on my windows 7 computer. When i double-click the mozilla icon, it doesn't start. I opened the task manager and noted that the process "firefox.exe" appears and desappear after 5 seconds. I tried to start mozilla in safe mode but the problem remains. The only way to use mozilla in my computer is restarting the windows in safe-mode. Last thing: i already tried to reinstall the program. Please help me!

I'm also using Windows 7 on a Lenovo U310 laptop.
