Travel Expense Tool - Workflow doesn't start

Hi,
I need some demo data of Travel Expenses for development but when I create a new Travel Expense Report there's no work item created.
I checked that the "Change" and "Create" Events (Object Type BUS2089) are triggered (I also checked the Event Linkage).
In Event Trace I can see them but "Change" has no Receiver entered. In the "Create" Event the Receiver is right but if I open the Event there's the RFC Status "Syntax error in program CL_SWF_RUN_WIM_LOCAL======". The same error Message appears in Transaction SM58.
I also checked that in transaction SWU3 everything has a green flag.
In transaction PE03 --> Feature TRVPA--> I changed the Attribute WRP but it still won't work.
I think the workflow is not starting correctly because of this syntax error.
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you
Christopher

Hi Modak,
I get the error: Class CL_SWF_RUN_WIM_LOCAL,Method IF_SWF_RUN_WIM_INTERNAL~MERGE_ATTACH_OBJECTS
Field "IM_COMMENT_SEMANTIC" is unknown. It is neither in one of the
specified tables nor defined by a "DATA" statement. .
This error is also listed in ST22 when the event is triggered. Do you know the cause for this error?
If not I'll raise an OSS suport ticket.
Thanks!
Christopher

Determining second level approver for travel expense claim workflow

Hi Experts...
In Travel Expense claim workflow,we are using two level Approval.The employee has to enter his data for expense claim through ESS..Then expense claim is submitted and sent via workflow to the Travel department. Travel Dept verifies the expenses against the bill and approves the claim by selecting the next level approver and attaching the scanned copies of the bill.
I made copy from the standard workflow WS20000040.
How can i select the next level appover in first level approval step???
Is there any FM or BAPI or BADI???
Please help me ...
Thanks in Advance
Regards,
Hemalatha.

Hi Hemalatha,
I have small tricky workaround to find out the second level of approver.The Standard Rule available can reused again by passing manager's Position.i.e
After first level completed , store manager position in container variable and pass it to the same task rule so the task is sent to the manager's approver .
Message me if needed more details.

WorkFlow doesn't start after upgrade

Hi.
After our upgrade from 4.6c to 6.0 ERP, a WorkFlow linked to BKPF doesn't start. When the user use the FB60 Transaction to post a new FI document the WorkFlow need to start.
Any special activity after upgrade we need to do in our WorkFlow?
Thanks.
Wladimir

Hi
If you are using a custom workflow and using the FM "SWW_WI_START" then make sure that destination is commented out .
Incorrect
CALL FUNCTION 'SWW_WI_START' DESTINATION wf_dest
correct
CALL FUNCTION 'SWW_WI_START'
This should solve the problem.
Thanks,

Program Exit for Travel Expense approval workflow

Dear Experts,
When a travel expense request is raised from the portal, the requester can attach certain documents like Files, notes to the same for the approver to see.
But when the approver sees the request in his UWL, he is not able to see the documents that the requester attached while creating the request.
I used a Program Exit for the same to happen, which creates a custom Event of a Custom BO, which in turn is attached to a standard task, that calls a method of an ABAP Class, that in turn attaches the document for that particular Employee and trip number.
But I am not able to View the document in the UWL.
Am I missing anything?
Please help..
Note: I reffered the following document (which was very helpful):
http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-29492

Try changing the behavior of the uwl when calling a SAP GUI from the default ITS to WIN GUI since you can't display documents on ITS:
Content Administration->Portal Content->Portal Users->Standard Portal Users->Universal Worklist->UWL - Launch SAP Transaction
Under Property Category choose Content - Transaction. Set the property SAP GUI Type to SAP GUI for Windows.

Travel Expense - Remove Workflow Attachments?

We have enabled standard SAP Travel Workflow WS20000040 - Approve Trip. Managers will perform approvals through the Universal Worklist within the SAP Portal. Each work item is generated with an attachment. When the attachment is launched via the UWL in the portal, it launches transaction PR05 VIA the SAPWEBGUI. We do not want the attachment.
Is there an easy way to remove the attachment associated with this specific work item?
I have read some posts that detail how to turn off all attachments in the UWL.   However, I would like to remove the attachment for this workflow item only.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,

Thanks for all of the responses and helpful suggestions.
After researching further, I found several references that recommended using transaction SWFVISU > Object Visualization to suppress the workflow attachment.
I created an entry based with the following parameters:
Object Type: BO BOR Object Type
Object Type: BUS2089
Method Name: Approve
Visualization Type: NONE Object Not Represented
This did not work. However, we are not on the latest support packs on either the portal or back-end system which I am thinking may be contributing.   We are applying patches in the next week and I will re-test.
Does anyone have any feedback regarding this and whether the entry I have created is correct (and therefore should work)?
Thanks

A workflow creates an item but doesn't start another list workflow on that new vreated item

Scenario is as follows: I have a Workflow A (starts manually) and a Worklow B (starts when item is created). First I create an item in the list after that I start worklow A manually on that item and of course workflow B is already running on that item. Workflow
A creates a new item in the same list. Unfortunately workflow B doesn't start on the newly created item.
What I've found out so far is, the problem is connected to the actions you use in workflow B. If I'm not using actions like 'Update List Item' or 'Set Field In Current Item' the worklflow starts.
Any suggestions?
best
Matthias

Hi Matthias,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to start the Workflow B to perform some actions like ”Update List item” or “Set Field in Current Item” on the newly created item which is created
by Workflow A in the same list.
The reason of the problem which you have found is that the automatically started Workflow B executed faster than the manually started Workflow A.
Therefore, the Workflow B can’t be triggered automatically because the action
“Update List Item” or
“Set Field in Current Item”
cannot be executed when the new item hasn’t been created completely.
So, I recommend that you can add the “Pause for Duration” action to pause for
one minute before the actions of “Update List Item” and “Set Field in Current Item” in the Workflow B.
The Workflow B is shown as below:

Config Tool doesn't start from the application list

Hi all,
I have installed Planning, EAS, and Workforce on a server but when I go to configure the tools, the config tool doesn't start from the page where you select the applications to configure. Instead, it starts with all the apps listed with the message: "You have selected the above apps to configure" and it has a Back button but it doesn't work, and it has a Next button and when I press it, it says Done.
I need to configure the database and deploy to the application server.
The Shared services is on a different server and is up and running. Essbase is on a separate server and that's up and running.
I am working with 11.1.1.3 32 bit applications on a 64 bit Windows OS.
If you have run into this, please let me know what am I missing?
Thanks

Hi
First of all I couldnt get your problem as in your query description you have written "sometimes the video doesn't skips a couple of seconds from the beginning even though the value of NetStream.time property is 0" which is contradictory with the query title "Video doesn't start from the beginning".
But anyways I think you should check ns.time in Play.Start there you should get always 0 but in Buffer.Full there may be the case that ns.time is not 0 but has some value but that value is very small less than 1.
If still you have issue please clarify your problem then probably I will be able to answer your query.

Amit

Fiori - Approval Travel Expenses Workflow Reject

Hi Guru,
we have configured the Approval Travel Exepense into SAP Fiori. We have a question regarding the reject of travel expenses report.
When the user reject, a pop up appear and the user write the reason of reject and click to reject:
So, now the standard Workflow (WS20000040) restart with the decison task reject. All work fine.
The question is: The text written in a pop up where it is saved? Can I intercept this text in a standard workflow?
Thanks in advance.
Regards.
Lorenzo

The comments that are saved while REJECT should be saved in the workflow container under a container element named "ACTION_COMMENTS". can you check the workflow log in swi1 Or swi2 and inspect the workflow log?
>>>>>Can I intercept this? the question is what do u want to do with this and what and where do u want to intercept?
if your objective is to show these comments next time on the same work item when it comes to the user's inbox in Fiori then yes you can do it but you would have to enhance the oData service for Travel Expense Approval and then check the workflow container for these user comments. it can be done but depends on what u want to do. technically things are possible
Best regards

Event for travel expense work flow "WS90000050"

Hi All ,
I am trying to configure standard travel request and travel expense application on ESS.
I am using two standard templates WS90000040 for Create travel request
and WS90000050 for Create Travel Expense.
But problem is that both workflows start with same event "REQUESTCREATED" of business object "BUS2089".
Since standard process says that once employee's travel request is approved then only he/she can apply for
Travel expense . But in this case both wf gets started through same event "REQUESTCREATED".
Is there any other event for create travel expense application ?
Thanks in advance
Abhay

Hi All,
The event that is triggered when travel expense is saved is CREATED.

BUS2089 for travel expense claim. How can i link it to portal?

Dear Expert,
I had created a customize object from the standard BUS2089 and named it ZBUS2089 and i have a workflow that trigger based on the ZBUS2089 object created.
My question is how do i link this object to my travel expense request. I want when the employee click on submit on the portal side, instead of triggering the standard BUS2089, i wanted to trigger my customise object ZBUS2089.
Thanks
Regards,
Bryan

Hi Kappy,
The situation is hard to describe it seems. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so I'll show screen shots....
Clicking on the Desktop icon does not open a finder window but rather opens a program. The problem seems to be that the "desktop folder" in the finder is not recognized as a "folder" but rather is listed as "anything".
Here is what the folder should be normally. (shot taken from another account on the same computer).
Solutions tried to fix this problem:
1. tried to delete the Desktop icon, and to pull it off to the trash and also to move the icon somewhere else. The icon doesn't change.
2. I've taken the icon off by removing it in the finder settings. When re-checked, the problem stays the same.
3. I've deleted the finder.plist file and the sidebar plist file in my account.
4. I've repaired permissions.
5. I've tried to re-assign the link in the info pane - associating the icon with the "finder"
I have three accounts on my computer. My main account is the only one affected by this problem.
Anyone who might have a solution, I'd love to hear your ideas!
It looks like the "kind" needs to be changed from "anything" to "folder" but I don't know how to do that.
Thanks for your help!

Workflow question: workflow should not start

Hi,
I have a question about a workflow.
Function module YTE_CHECK_WF_START starts a workflow for the approval of travel expenses.
In table "yte_start_wf", we have defined a list of users for which the workflow should not start.
Nevertheless, the workflow starts for a user who appears on the list. He gets e-mails in his Inbox, which should not happen.
What can be the reason?
Does anyone have an idea?
Thank you.
Kind regards,
Linda

Hi,
Thank you for your reply.
I am not familiar with workflow.
1) Where can I find the agents/possible agent list?
2) Where can I exclude the user in the task?
Thanks.
Kind regards,
Linda

Approve Travel Expenses FIORI Application

Hi,
I have a problem in Approve Travel Expenses FIORI Application. The application was configured and implemented as shown in the SAP documentation platform :
http://help.sap.com/fiori_bs2013/helpdata/en/be/2c66528841745fe10000000a441470/content.htm
My problem is the application doesn't import any travel expenses that was created in PR05 TCODE. I can approve any expenses in SAP. The Odata message service returned OK code in /IWFND/MAINT_SERVICE. The Employee Master Record Creation was assigned to my s-user. I Have all roles and Manager Statut.
Should I maintain both tables :
SRA008_T_CONFIG
SRA008_T_TASKTYP
if i won't want to use a specific work-flow ?
Should i use a work-flow ?
Are there any SAP customization to do with my s-user ?
Any SAP Tcode to create / Approve travel expenses ?
All packages are updated.
I thank you in advance.

Hi Majbar,
Your issue is in HR workflow configuration. If workitem is in inbox, Fiori app can read it.
For SAP Business Workflow troubleshooting, you should look at event trace and workflow log.
