Trigger a workflow ?

hi,
can any one tell me how to trigger a workflow based on my auto-renewal date set up in my contract i.e.if the contract is going to expire then the wf has to be triggered before 10days.
ganesh

Hi Ganesh
For triggering workflow based on your scenarion, you have to extend the Business Object BUS2014....Define the event to trigger the workflow(before 10 days) based on the renewal date...Link that event to workflow. Whenever the event is get triggered, it'll trigger the workflow automatically...

  • How to Trigger a Workflow from ABAP Webdynpro

    Hi All Gurus,
    I have the following urgent requirement, my client is implementing HR and there is a requirement, where is a ABAP Webdynpro component in which we have integrated a Adobe Interactive Form. When the user calls this from through Portal and fills out the relevant data and submits it, a Workflow in the backend ECC system should lauch,
    I am not familiar with, this concept although I have worked in Workflow this is the first time I am interfacind with ABAP Webdynpro and Adobe Interactive From.
    Can you please let me know in steps what needs to be done to make the workflow trigger for my scenario and also the specific settings to be done in the bacckend.
    Regards,
    Pratima Jain

    Hi,
    If you are using HCM Processes and Forms, the Workflow and form are not directly related, thats true.
    But the method in the task calls the corresponding webdynpro application which responds to the action triggered by the user in turn to trigger the workflow and update the data in the HR Master Data.
    There are 3 layers  1. UI (webdynpro which launches Adobe Interactive form based on ISR Framework)
    2. Workflow
    3. Backend framework (used for retrieving F4 helps, default values, save data in the infotypes).
    for more documentation, please refer it on help.sap.com.

  • Check for duplicate invoices and trigger a workflow

    Hello All,
        I have a requirement to check for duplicate invoices in AP(Accounts payable) and trigger a workflow when duplicate invoices are found. I a not sure how to do any of the above. Please  let me know if you have any information on:
    1) Checking for duplicate invoices in AP
    2) Trigger a workflow
    Are there any standard workflows that checks duplicate invoices?
    Thanks.
    --Mithun

    Hi MD,
    I doubt if system gives an error on FI side when a duplicate invoice is posted.
    I feel you would require a BAdi for it, where you can call your WF using FM SAP_WAPI_START_WORKFLOW.
    Hope it helps.
    Aditya
    P.S also ask your Func Consultants, if there are any settings in the Customization, where you could capture Inv Dt, Inv Amt, Vendor, Company code.

  • Trigger a Workflow when a date is reached in SharePoint Online

    I have created a simple list workflow (SharePoint Online) which emails a user, informing them a Document's
    Target Closure Date has been reached. The workflow works fine when started manually.
    I want to trigger the workflow only when Target Closure Date matches today's date.
    The best solution seemed to be to use a Retention Policy. So I went to:
    > Library Settings
    > Information Management Policy settings
    > Document content type
    > ticked 'Enable Retention'
    > Time Period:  Target Closure Date + 0 days
    > Action:  Start the relevant workflow.
    This worked only on two occasions - both were Saturday mornings, at 3.30am and 4.30am. I can see
    in this MS article the Expiration Policy timer job only runs weekly on SharePoint 2013, so can anyone confirm that the schedule is the same in SharePoint Online?
    If so, is there any way in SharePoint Online I can trigger a workflow when a date is reached?
    Thanks for your help,
    Alyosha

    Hi Alyosha,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to send an email to a user when the Target Closure Date was reached in SharePoint Online.
    The timer job of Retention Policy runs weekly in SharePoint Online, so we cannot use the Retention Policy to trigger the workflow.
    As a workaround, I recommend to create a workflow associated with the library to send the email when the Target Closure Date was reached.
    Here are the detailed steps:
    Create a workflow associated with the library and set the workflow to start when an item is created.
    Select Pause until Date to set the workflow to pause until the Target Closure Date.
    Select Send an Email.
    Best regards.
    Thanks

  • How to trigger a workflow using generic object services?

    Hi Experts,
    Let me know on how to trigger a workflow using generic object services.
    My requirement is to trigger the FI document reversal document using Object services.
    Any info or docs relevant to this, please share with me..
    Thanks,
    Dinesh.

    Dinesh,
    First of you need to check if the transaction has a BO (in released status) published to use the GOS.
    These are the pre-requisites for GOS
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/en/94/aa532cddd511d289860000e8216438/content.htm
    Once done.. check that you have valid workflow linkages active for this BO.
    Now when you click on the 'start workflow' the system will show all relevant workflows for the BO to choose from and to start.

  • Can we trigger a workflow from e-mail create event?

    Hi Experts,
    My scenario is very simple-Whenever a mail is send for approval to the approver,two workitems-Approve or Reject should be created in the Appover's inbox.On clicking on any one workitem, corresponding mail for approval/reject should be sent.
    My only doubt is how to trigger an event which will start the workflow. Also it should be triggered only when the mail is sent to a particular person-say admin and not to every individual.
    Can you please guide me on this since I am new to workflows?
    What I am looking for here is:-
    a) The definition of E-mail creation event, which can trigger my workflow.
    b) This definition has to be specific. I mean workflow should trigger only when a mail is send to admin.It should not trigger everytime a new mail is created in the system.
    c) I thought that the business object for E-mail is activity-BUS2000110.But again activity can be anything-E-mail,task,telephonic conversation.Which business object should be used here?
    Please give me some pointers on this.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Rohit

    Hi Aditya,
    Atlast somebody replied to my thread. Since yesterday I have created 3-4 threads and didn't got any single reponse.
    Anyways, my query is:-
    how to trigger the workflow? I know we need some event to trigger a workflow. Now how to generate this event, when the user is simply sending an e-mail to the admin for some approval request? How can an e-mail trigger an approval workflow in the background?
    Any pointers/suggestions?
    Thanks and Regards,
    Rohit

  • HOW TO TRIGGER AN WORKFLOW FROM A PROGRAM ?

    HELLO THERE ,

    CALL FUNCTION 'SWU_START_WORKFLOW'
      EXPORTING
        task                  =

  • Trigger a workflow in fbcj on save of cash journal.

    Hi All,
    Have a requirement to trigger a workflow on saving a cash journal. We found out the business object "bus2023" . But it does not have any events in it which can be used in the workflow. i have searched through the forum and havent found suitable solutions.
    Looking forward for the solution.
    Thanks in advance ,
    Regards,
    Kavya.S

    Hi,
    Track the event (if any ) which is getting triggered on saving the cash journal.
    use tcode: SWELS and SWEL. The event might be in different business object.
    If there no event is getting  triggered, search for user exit/Badi and from there
    you can trigger your workflow directly or by using event ( custom event that you need to create).
    Or if you know the change document you can trigger the event through customization (SWEC)

  • Is i possible to trigger a workflow from the creation of an event in iCal

    Is i possible to trigger a workflow from the creation of an event in iCal
    Or is is possible to create a workflow to ad events to an iCal calendar which then triggers the workflow or is combined with the ad events workflow.
    Graeme

    Hmm, nope. Not that I'm aware of. Very few apps allow you to hook scripts directly to user activity. Finder* is a notable exception. iCal's "publish" feature has the ability to auto-update after user activity, but you'll either need dot mac accounts or your own webdav server to get that working.
    I'd re-consider the idea of triggering a periodic workflow with iCal. That way if the computer is shut down or asleep, iCal will wait to run the workflow at its next opportunity. You could hide the unsightly repeating events in a second calendar so they're out of the way.
    The next best thing is to write a faceless AppleScript application with a long-duration idle handler. The user would simply add it to their login items in System Preferences. This would also resume its cycle after sleep or shutdown.
    Yet another option is to write an AppleScript that can register itself in the crontab. This has the advantage of running at a predictable time. If you're careful, you can even set the script to wake up or power on the computer as necessary.
    * Folder action scripts can be triggered when files are created, moved, or deleted, but not when they're merely updated. This probably rules out much of iCal's activities in ~/library/application support/ical/.

  • How to trigger the workflow from the excel sheet

    hello friends,
    my problem is that i should trigger the workflow from a excel sheet which contains a list of appraisers and appraisees.how to do this. can anyone  help on this.
    thanks.

    Hi Murthy,
    If you are asking if a workflow can be started on R/3 while in Excel - may be possible if you can develop some fancy macros that can make RFC calls to an ABAP function module. I won't even attempt to travel that route.
    Save the excel sheet as CSV or Tab delimited file and process it using ABAP. You can use the WAPI function module SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT (Rel 4.7)to start the Workflow by raising the relevant event. In earlier releases, see FM SWE_EVENT_CREATE.
    Please do keep in mind there could be performance and response time issues for dialog users of the system if you are going to start several workflows using a report program.
    Cheers,
    Ramki.

  • How to trigger the workflow from RFC

    Hi,
    I need to trigger a workflow from a RFC.How can I call the event and start my workflow?
    How can i do this?
    please advice.

    Anand

    Hello Anand,
    Goto swetypv transaction.Mention the abap class/bor object with the corresponding event.
    In the receiver type, just mention some unique name.In the receiver function module mention the async RFC.
    Mention the SENDER     TYPE     SIBFLPORB                        Local Persistent Object Reference - BOR Compatible
    EVENT     TYPE     SIBFEVENT                               Event
    RECTYPE     TYPE     SWFERECTYP                               Name of Receiver Type

    EVENT_CONTAINER     TYPE     SWF_XMLCNT                               Container as XML Stream of Fixed Width
    So that the guid can be used inorder to identify the instance.
    you can use : "sap_wapi_start_workflow" fn module.

  • How to trigger a workflow when a bank record of an employee is delimited

    Hi Friends,
      I want to trigger a workflow when a bank record of an employee is delimited(Infotype  IT0009). When delimiting the bank info, the old record's ENDDA is changed and a new record is created with the BEGDA. In this case two events are triggered one is BANKDETAIL-CREATED and other one is BANKDETAIL-DELETED.
    Which one should i use to trigger my workflow.
    Note : If we use the creation of new record for triggering workflow, then in case when the record is created for a new employee then the workflow will be triggered. To control this can we check whether there is an existing entry in IT009 for the employee or not. If an entry already exist then trigger the workflow else not. Is this ok? Please advice.

    Hi sapient,
    Here i think none of the events would actually help you in achieving what you want because you want to trigger the workflow when the account is delimited not when the account is either created or deleted.Please look for some other information to trigger your workflow.Will get back to you if i had any ideas.
    Thanks,
    Bhumika

  • How to trigger a workflow when a info record is changed?

    Hello All,
    I would like to trigger a workflow when the conditions from a info record are changed?
    What business object should be used?
    Thanks in Advance
    Rui

    Hi,
    for these kinds of issues,
    foirst check if a uefull event already exists in the system
    for this you first actiave the event trace: SWELS.
    Then you change the info record.
    And then you read the event log with SWEL.
    If there's no event, you may eventually have to create it in an exit with SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT fm
    Kind regards, Rob Dielemans
