Travel Request Approval Scenario via Workflow does not trigger
Hi guys,
System Information: SAP ECC 6.0 EHP4 / Using WDA-Scenarios on Portal NW 7.01.
I'm having trouble understanding/implementing the approval scenario of the Travel Request via Workflow/UWL. POWL isn't usable for us as it isn't flexible enough to process the complex agent assignment rules for the respective approver our (momentarily..) requirements 'dictate' ...
What I did so far:
I copied the Workflow Template 200000040 to a custom template (since I'll have to alter it) and activated the Event of Creation for BUS2089. Thus, in SWE2, the respective entry for BUS2089 for the event CREATED has been set by the system. All good so far. When I create a TRIP via PR05 (we are public sector), the event for BUS2089 gets fired in SAPMP56T and the Workflow gets triggered; works out well. However, when I post a travel request in Portal (FITE_REQUEST), the workflow is not getting triggered. I searched for information or similar questions on the forum but didn't find anything. Neither did I find a concrete clue in the View Containers FITE_VC_* etc..
Could anyone assist me with this? I'm sure I'm missing something very basic here.... -_-
Bottom line:
Why is my workflow not getting triggered from creating travel requests via FITE_REQUEST?
Cheers, Lukas
SWE2 linkage is activated for my Workflow number (I didn't do it by hand, it's set by the system since I activated the event in my workflowtemplate --> this way actually no inconsistencies can happen).
SWDD Tests are successful and the Workflow is working well in general. That's why I pointed out in my previous post that the process is working fine when initiated via PR05.
EDIT: Or maybe somebody knows the part in coding FITV_FPM/FITE_VC* where the workflow should be triggered? It's freaking unfindable, I've been debugging for hours. >:-(
EDIT: Debugged the entire WDA Frmaework for like five hours...feeling dead inside...someone please tell me from where the workflow gets triggered when saving travel request from portal -_-....

Automatic approval workflow does not work anymore
Hi,
Our automatic approval workflows configured via standard business configuration sets (process controlled) do not work anymore. They did work previously.
After changing the BUS objects 'automatic approval' workflow into the 1-step manager approval workflow it does work.
- The 'automatic approval' workflow does not seem to generate a workitem, the bbp_pd 'workflow' part is empty. In addition previously approved documents via 'automatic approval' do not contain workitem details via bbp_pd either anymore.
- We applied a new SP (SP07) not that long ago.
- These documents go into status: 'awaiting approval', the documents 'approval' details tell us the following:
001 Automatic Approval Valid (Can be Started) Open (No Decision Made) SYSTEM system
However the system does not execute the task, how come? What normally ensures the system executes these 'automatic approval' tasks (report?)?
Any input is very much appreciated.
Kind regards,

Workflow triggered via SWUE does not complete
Hello,
On an ECC6 system, I have a workflow linked to the BUS2009.RELEASESTEPCREATED event. As long as the event is triggered upon upon purchase requisitions creation, the linked workflow starts and finishes fine. However, in case I trigger the event "manually" using SWUE, one of the work items(approver release decision task) created by the started workflow does not change status to COMPLETE after it is executed and successfully processed with a valid outcome. The work item remains in the in-process or ready status.
I have also checked the instance linkages and found a proper entry for the instance ID.
Due to this I am not able to trigger the workflows missed during recent event linkage outage.
Any idea what can cause this behaviour, please ?
Thanks.
Kind regards,
Ondrej FoukalHello,
You say:
"one of the work items(approver release decision task) created by the started workflow does not change status to COMPLETE after it is executed and successfully processed with a valid outcome"
If it's successfully processed and has a valid outcome then maybe you're having a problem with the next step - perhaps agent assignment? Check the workflow log for any errors, and look at the graphical log.

Absence request workflow does not start
Hello, I have created a workflow for absence request and I configured it in transaction PTARQ for my absence type.
I tried several times making an absence request from portal but the workflow does not start. I have also seen in transaction PTARQ that the request was really made and has status SENT but has no workflow associated.
Any help?
ThanksHi Mário,
Check using transaction SWIA to see if the workflow is actually started by the leave creation (if not could be a problem with the event trigger)? If it is started, you should see in SWIA where the workflow stops/breaks down, normally this is due to missing container elements or bindings.
Good luck!

Workflow does not work properly
Hi experts,
I had configure approval process for my folder. The problem is when i upload a file, there is no email sent for approval. I have a FSDB repository. What went wrong? Appreciate any suggestions.

You have to Submit for Approval these documents.

Multiple scheduled workflows does not work correctly
Hi All,
I hava made a simple workflow who executes a powershell script with the latest SMLETS, this workflows is triggered when a new incident is created and after the script change the status of the related computer that is affected by the incident.
When I do this just for one computer it works very fine, but when I create by example 4 incidents for several computers the workflows does not change the status of the comptuers.
For the moment I create a incident and I wait the workflows is finished and i continue to create the next incident it is ok. But I cannot to put this in production environment where several analyst create incient for several devices.
Any Idea?
Thank you
MIKEHi,
Ben was right when asked you to share the PS code.
It seems that it works for one instance and doesn't work for multiple ones. It's a regular case when you get objects using search request. Share the PowerShell code and receive the prompt within minutes.
Cheers,
Marat

Hi Team,
We have a requirement to "Populate Error Message(Supervisor not Maintained) while submitting Travel Request if Supervisor(A002) relationship is not maintained for employee in ESS.
We are using standard WDA application - FITV_REQUEST and standard travel request workfow - WS20000050.
Please suggest how to do this.
Thanks,
RaviHi Rajesh,
Thanks for the reply...
We created enhancement for FM HRTRV_IF_GET_CUSTOMIZING and written code in that.
So by this if Logged in Employee is not assgned with Line Manager , it will throw error while accessing "Create Travel Request application".

PO routed for approval but the PO does not require release
Hi Guys i have an issue,
My ECC PO Routed for approval, but the PO doesnot requre Release as its was below the approval limit. Workflow should not be routed , but then also the user got the WorkitemIam not sure about what iam proposing but, take a look at this SPRO settings in the prodcution system.
1. See based on the release code that is sent to workflow , the workitem will be sent to user or not.
2. Copy release code that is passed to workflow container (you can get this from workflow log technichal details SWIA or SWI1)and check in the table T16FC, if the entry is found then check the field FRGWF - Role resolution for workflow is initial or not if it is not initial then try to make it initial and then trigger the workflow.
here the possible vallues in the field FRGWF are 1 or 9 if any one of them is set with respect to that releasecode , i think that indicates that the workflow will try to determine the release code agent from t he defined organizational structure.
if you make it initial then, i hope the workitem will not be sent to the releasecode agent.
Please check this system table

SharePoint Retention Policy workflow does not start
Hi,
Using Nintex workflows I have created a workflow and attached it to a content type and tested that it runs manually ok. I want it to run according to a retention policy, and so I created a policy based on one of the content type's date fields to start
my workflow automatically. When I manually run the timer jobs I see the following error in ULS logs and the workflow does not start. Interestingly if I amend the policy to do something simple like move the item to the recycle bin, that works fine.
Can anyone suggest what is wrong and where I can go from here to find the issue?
Thanks

Based on your description, my understanding is that the Retention Policy cannot start the Nintex workflow.
To narrow the issue scope, I recommend to check the things below:
Create a SharePoint 2010 Reusable workflow for the same content type or 2013 list workflow and modify the Retention Policy to start this workflow, and then check how it works.
Create Retention Policy with the Nintex workflow in another list and then compare the results.
Thanks,
Victoria

Sharepoint 2013 workflow does not start when item is created by another workflow
Hi I am having the next problem, I have a workflow on list B that starts when a new item is created. If I created the item manually the workflow works. Now I have a list A that has a workflow that creates a new item in List B. The problem is that when
de workflow in list A creates the list item in list B the workflow does not start.
I've used an account that is collection owner, an account that only has contribute permision and nothing works.
Any ideas?

Any ideas?Hi Courfeyrak,
Here is another similar post with a workaround, you can try using the event receiver on listB item to start the workflow, when the listB item is created or updated by the workflow associated with listA.

Workflow Does not Start If Created by Another Workflow
Hi,
Hope someone can help me here.
I am using SharePoint 2013 Server and have created two workflows running on two separate lists (workflow 1 runs on list 1 and workflow 2 runs on list 2).
Workflow 1 creates an item in List 2. The workflow on list 2 does not kick off when the item is created.
I have tried both SharePoint Designer 2013 workflow and Visual Studio 2013 no code solutions (I have elevated privileges for the workflow app).
The link below is what I am experiencing, although there doesn't seem to be a solution.

I am in the process of installing the latest CUs too see if this has been rectified.
Thanks,
NigelHi Nigel,
Yes, this is the default SharePoint behavior that SharePoint 2013 workflow does not start when item is created by another workflow.
For a workaround, you can create a event receiver on the List 2 to start the workflow 2 when an item is created.
