The task TS20000166 in PO release workflow( WS20000075 ) is not terminating

Dear Experts ,
The task TS20000166 in PO release workflow( WS20000075 ) is not terminating after release the PO .
In the WS20000075 ,the event RELEASESTEPCREATED is triggeing and move to the next step.The next step is 'Release of purchase order' , the task TS20000166 is not terminating after release of PO .So Workflow is not move to next step i.e TS20000168.
I have noted TS20000166 is having three terminating event ( RELEASED,RESET,SIGNIFICANTLYCHANGED ) but still it is not terminating.
Is it Clear.If you want more details please let me know .Please help me.
Thanks and Regards
Rajesh

Dear Raj,
Please check agent assignment. And also check graphical mode error and check how many events fire one after one. Because for rejecting there is one more workflow u have to activate but i dont think so u have to activate it after realease . In agent assign ment check workflow with normal agent assignment dont use release stretargy then check it again if it is working fine then it must be problem of agent assignment step.

Issue in PO Release Workflow WS20000075

Hi All,
We have activated Std. PO release Workflow WS20000075 for two step release levels. When New PO created with release strategy this workflow will trigger and send workflow items to Agents to release Purchase Order. Up to this it's working fine.
But the problem occurs to trigger Workflow again after PO price change. We have release change indicator with 5% variance of price. That means when some one changes the Price or Quantity and if the total values variance more than 5% of price variance then Release strategy will activate again in PO. But in this case Workflow WS20000075 not sending workflow items again to the agents.
Is there any workflow setting causing the issue?

Hi Sivaparvathy ,
As far I can understand in SWEL event trace for the second time the event is getting triggered but there is no appropriate receiver for that event. Can you please specify the event name. If it is any event other than RELEASE for eg lets say if it is CHANGE, in the workflow WS20000075 header you will have to bind the workflow with this event and activate linkage for this particular event as well(without changing the previous configuration for PO release event). So that the workflow is triggered for this event as well..
Hope this helps

PO release workflow WS20000075 BUS2012

Hi ,
I have a question aboutt he user exit of the PO workflow WS20000075, BUS2012, Rule 20000027.
There is user exit in function module ME_REL_GET_RESPONSIBLE
I have put '1' in the release codes role resolution.
i.e in spro - MM - purchasing - purchase order - define release procudure for purchase order - release codes
is it so that by putting '1' i cannot use the user exit ? and if i have to use it then i have to put '9' instead of '1' ?
and if i have to use a combination, means I have to use the assignment of role to release code at the same time put my own logic then I have to remove 20000027 rule and create new rule with my required logic and put this new rule there.
I need to confirm the above understanding. could anybody helpme? thanks.

Yes..You got it better.

Substitute not receiving workitem for Workflow WS20000075 - TS20000166

Hello Friends
With rgeard to the Workflow WS20000075 and the task TS20000166 , we find that the substitutes are not receiving the workitem .
only the agents determined from the PO release strategy are getting the workitems.
But the substitutes of these agents are not receiving the workitems.
I checked the table HRUS_D2 which is valid and also active.
i also notice that in table SWWORGTASK , the ORG_OBJ field is set for the POSITION . does this mean , personal substitue will not work as the agent determination is on POSITION level ?
Please assist.
thanks

"In release strategies, what is the object type maintained ? Maintain the same object type when assigning substitutes. "
Hello Suresh ,
In the release strategy , we have assigned the Object as " S " which is a position and assigned the corresponding POSITION ID . So does this mean the substitute assignment should be on a POSTION level rather than a user specific level ? If yes , How do we do that ?
" Please check whether the substitution maintained is ACTIVE or PASSIVE. "
Hello Guddan ,
The substitution is ACTIVE , Iahev confirmed.
thanks,

How to assign agent assigment in release strategy WS20000075?

I have copied the standard workflow WS20000075 and then created Workflow template and in trigering events tab of the wf template, I have binded the event RELEASESTEPCREATED.I have also done the SPRO settings for release strategy,i.e,that is I have assigned the users for each release code in table T16FW and mentioned the role resolution in the as 1 in the table T16FC.
The workflow is working fine but I am a bit confused with the agent assigment in the tasks TS20000166 and TS20000168.I have noticed one thing that in the task TS20000166 a default rule 20000027 - Person responsible for PO release,but it does not seem to work.The TS20000168 does not has any default rule for agent.
Can anyone guide me how i can do the agent assignment for this workflow.

There is no requirement for default rules.
Agent for task TS20000168 is assigned in the workflow where it is used.
If the default rule for task TS20000166 does not seem to work you should first of all check all the obvious potential problems, and secondly (if you haven't found out what the problem is) tell us why you have concluded that it does not work.
Check:
1) that the task has either been defined as general task or has possible agents assigned
2) that your customizing for the release code has "1" as workflow configuration and that there is a valid agent assignment for the code - alternatively "9" as config and the user exit is implemented
3) that there is overlap between agent assignment for the release code and possible agents for the task

PO Release Workflow Problem

Hello,
This is regarding PO release workflow(WS20000075).
I fail to understand as to how I can trigger workflow on realising PO
from ME29N, though using SWUS (Test Workflow) I am receving message
in the sapoffice mail.I am not really able to link the application with the workflow.
Secondly I dont understand why the second task i.e., Release Purchase Order Effected' does not trigger when I test the workflow.The message i receive is 'Please release purchase order no ....' and not 'Purchase order Released' when I test the workflow using SWUS.
Kindly advice.
Regards,
Sumit

The deactivation is happening as there is some error in the instances. Please change the settings in SWE2 for WS20000075 entry and change the field of Feedback after error as Do Not Change Linkage. The error might be due to some authorization issue please check from SWEL and analyse accordingly.
Thanks

User exit for workflow WS20000075 agent determination for PO

Hi,
I have requirement to determine agents for workflow WS20000075 for PO from Ztable entry. Is that customer exit EXIT_SAPLEBNF_005 will work ?

Hi ,
Try assigning a new Agent Rule in the Task TS20000166.
You will have to create a custom rule using transaction PFAC. Choose option "F - Agent dertermination function to be executed" and assign a new Z function module which will determine your agent.
You can refer to function module ME_REL_GET_RESPONSIBLE while creating your own function module.
Cheers!!!

Error in PO release workflow

Hi all,
I'm having problem with linkages errors when I active PO release workflow WS20000075. The wf work without problem in develop system but in the system where I transport, a internal message is sent to me with text:
Error in event receiver
Error processing following event linkage:
BUS2012 RELEASESTEPCREATED WS20000075
Following error occurred:
SWF_RUN 594
Message text:
Import container contains errors (are any obligatory elements missing?)
Event container appended as attachment.
Event linkage with errors deactivated.
The customizing is the same in both system and I don't understand the problem.
Thanks in advance.

I think you might have missed the binding between the event container adn workflow conatiner try to co like below.
1. OPen the workflow template WS20000075 open in change mode , click on the tab Triggering Events slect the entry which you are able to see on the screen .
2. Click on the binding button, and do the following entries.
&_EVT_OBJECT&          &PURCHASEORDER&
&RELEASECODE&          &RELEASECODE&
&_EVT_CREATOR&          &_WF_INITIATOR&

I have two lists. The first is "Tasks", second is "Journal". I need a "Create Journal Entry" link in the Tasks list. How do I do that?

Let's say I have a Task named "Build SSIS for Duke Energy" and it has another column called Active. Now every day I look at my task list and If I worked on that task I want to create a Journal entry of what I have done. So from the Task
list I'd like a third column that calls the "Journal Entry" list's new form page and pass it in the ID of the task. I have found several TextToHtml scripts out there, but they have to be stored in a script library, and then sourced to a content
editor web part. The problem is they don't fire when I have my list grouped. In addition to, every time someone creates a new view, I have to go in and add the Content Editor web part, point to the script....
Any thoughts. It is the grouped view that really bug me.

Hi,
If you only want to add a hyperlink to create a Journal entry in the task list, I recommend to add a Hyperlink column in the task list and then create workflow to update the column.
You can follow the steps as below:
Open the task list, add a hyperlink column named Create Journal Entry.
Create a workflow associated to the task list, start the workflow automatically when an item is created.
Add actions as below:
Then when a task is created in the task list, the workflow will be stared automatically to update the “Create Journal Entry” column.
Thanks,
Jason

Sometimes Firefox will not open, telling me, it is already running. It does not show in the task manager and the only solution is to reboot.

Firefox is running. I close the program. I try to reopen it. I get an error message: Firefox is already running. It does not show in the task manager, nor anywhere else. I can not close the old version, nor start a new one. I have to reboot.

Did you look in the Processes tab in the Task Manager?

Release of PO: task TS20000166: T16FW

Step 1My PO is having 3 Step release strategy applied.
01 Sr Engineer
02 Manager
03 VP
Step 2
Assignment of Role to Release Code (Table T16FW Maint. view V_T16FW)
3 different SAP users has been assigned as :
01 Sr Engineer
02 Manager
03 VP
Step 3
In table T16FC (maint. view V_T16FC) all the value in the field Role resolution for workflow (T16FC-FRGWF) is assigned 1 that is Role resolution with group, code, and plant (T16FW)
FRGCO FRGWF FRGCT
01 1 Sr Engineer
02 1 Manager
03 1 VP
problem
Now coming to task TS20000166 (Release of purchase order) is where I am stucked.
What Agent I should I assign so that it uses the SAP user assigned in Table T16FW in Step 2 , so that it goes to all three. When the first person approves the workflow shold go to the next person. (till now there is no loop on task TS20000166, my workflow is copy of standard WS20000075)

Flora - After analysing the std. workflow(WS20000075) & std. task(TS20000166) versus your requirement of sending the work item step-wise(after 1st level approver approves, send work-item to next level approver), I think it is much better you design your own workflow template this way:
1. Create Workflow template. Listen to the same events as the SAP std. one
2. In the workflow builder, the flow can be
 a)User-Decision step type with agent as a rule(build a custom FM which passes T16FW first record i.e Sr Engineer ).
 b)When he approves create another User-Decision step and using same rule(and select onT16FW for 2nd record now )
 c) so on for 3rd level
I would suggest you can also build a modeled deadline monitoring for the no. of days given at each level for the approver to take action
Also you would need to take care of the else part i.e when the approver rejects, what do you want to do.
Hope this helps.

About PO Release Strategy Workflow : WS20000075

Hi,
I want a workflow for PO release strategy. I believe that there is a standard workflow WS20000075 for the same.
But I am unable to use it.
I am not a functional guy and there is no one else to assist.
Can somebody tell me how I should go about?
Thanks.

Hi,
WS20000075 this std. Workflow for the PO this has multiple levels of approvals, Depends on the no. of approvals it will flow.
The approver can be picked using the User Exit M06E0005 (EXIT_SAPLEBNF_001 - User Exit ZXM06U51), here you have to write logic to pick the Approver.
The approval workitem comes to SAP Inbox, once the approver click the workitem it will open the Transaction, there the user can approve.
To see the status of the Workflow, Go to ME23N, in the top left a button, Service Object, click on that, a drop down appear in Workflow > Workflow Overview, you can see the status here.

Surjith

'No Administrator found for the task' while releasing the task in AR31

Dear Gurus,
i am facing the issue 'No Administrator found for the task' while releasing the task in AR31 while doing Mass Asset change.
Please help to provide the solution.
Many thanks.
Kumar

Dear Kumar,
error 5W141 indicates that the configuration for workflow is not in place fully.
1. SWU3 => Automatic customizing
You find the customizing of the workflow under Basis -> Business
Management -> SAP Business Workflow. There you can check the minimum
customizing for workflow:
2, Please check in transaction OAWF if the responsible users are
    assigned to the workflow tasks
    Menu path: Basic Functions
                 Assign tasks to agent
                    Correct worklist
                    Release worklist
                    Correct and release worklist
3, In addition check if the users are assigned to the workflow-tasks      in the basis-component (transaction
     PFTC).
   Menu path: Task type: TS   - Standard task
       Task     : corresponding task (e.g.8010 - correct worklist
The relevant logic is: if the system finds that the agent or user is defined, it will go straight to T-code SO01. And the user can edit the work list there.

Is there no contract rejected task in contract release workflow ? (BUS2014)

I'm trying to trigger my workflow when a contract is rejected but I can not see any 'rejected' task or step in default contract workflow.
How can I be able to do this ?
Here is the copy of default cotract workflow (WS20000079);
And here is the tasks of BUS2014;
Thanks for any help.

Hi Mustafa
The standard WF WS20000079 uses task TS20000172 to send the decision. It has three terminating events from BUS2014 (RELEASED, RESET and SIGNIFICANTLYCHANGED).
Which event gets triggered when you "reject" a contract in your system? (check in SWEL (switch on the trace first using SWELS))
Regards,
Modak

The task TS20000166 in PO release workflow( WS20000075 ) is not terminating
