Triggering Workflow from Adobe Form in ERP

Hello,
With SAP ERP 2005 version, Adobe Interactive forms can be created within SAP environment. Is there a way to link the SAP Adobe forms to a SAP Workflow instead of using the Adobe Workflow Designer?
Can we trigger the approval process using SAP WOrkflow from Interactive Adobe form?
Thanks.

Hi Anjali,
Interactive Forms is integrated in other environments that use workflow and make it easier to set it up:
Guided Procedures (in NetWeaver 2004s): Fully Java-based, GP is the process component of the Composite Application Framework (CAF), and thus largely model- and not development-based. You can use an interactive PDF form in a GP for offline steps.
Refer the link for more info on CAF
<a href="https://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/devguide2004s -> Fundamentals -> Creating Composite Applications">CAF</a>
The general integration into Web Dynpro, which allows you to build a workflow from scratch (requiring full workflow knowledge) and integrate the forms as steps in the workflow. Using this method, you could also integrate PDF forms into lower-release backends.
Hope this helps

Sharadha

Trigger workflow from web form

HI Experts,
I have a requirement to trigger workflow when a web form is completed through a portal and saved.I also need to perform certain validations on the fields in the web form before triggering the workflow.The web form would then go the proper approvers and then I need to send notification messages on Approval or Rejection.I am at loss of thoughts as to how I can achieve this functionality.
I also need to send reminders to the approver every 2 hours till he takes some action.
Any suggestions would be of great help and would be rewarded appropriately..
Regards,
Narsingh

Hi Narsingh,
the solution depends much on the web form you are implementing.
Is this a standard portal application you are working on? Or are you developing also the form from scratch?
The previous answers just tell how you can trigger a workflow if the application doesn't trigger it itself.
If the web form is a standard application or built with process frameworks like HCM Processes and Forms/ISR/PCR, then the event is often published by default without any customization.
No answers, just questions...
Kind regards,
Mikko

How can I embed an DOCTYPE HTML Form from Adobe Forms central into a responsive html5 page?
-Luis

Hi,
You can embed the form on your website, but you need to make sure that javascript has been enabled in the browser. You need to copy the embed code and add it into your HTML code. If you would like FormsCentral to generate embeded HTML form without using javascript, you may post a feature request and vote it. Hope it helps! Thanks!

Update SAP from Adobe forms

Hi all,
I use BAPI with web service to update several line items (e.g. of a PO) from a table in Adobe forms to SAP. I expect that all the occurrences of the line items to be transferred to the func mod. via the defined table interface, but only the last line got transferred and the others seem to be overwritten. I have tried adobe fixed and dynamic tables but that did not change the outcome (In another application, I'm able to display all line items from func. mod. to Adobe form). Question : What do I need to do to have ALL the line items transferred from Adobe form to the func. mod. ?
Components used : Designer 7, SAP ECC 6 level 9 .
Please, provide help with concrete and proven information only.
Best regards,
Nancy

Hi Vaibhav,
Thanks for the reply. I use table and not structure but somehow all the records did not get transferred. So far i've been able to get the data to and from SAP without web dynpro and hope to be able to get this scenario to work as well.

Nancy

Trigger workflow from ABAP webdynpro and attach an Adobe interactive form

I have a need to create an ABAP Webdynpro that will upload a completed Adobe interactive form and then route the form to multiple approvers thru workflow. I am having trouble finding any documentation or examples of passing the Adobe form in the workflow. Do I have to save the content of every field on the form to an internal table and then have every workitem call an ABAP webdynpro to render the form? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Joyce,
This can be done as follows :

Trigger workflow from ABAP webdynpro (having an adobe form)

Hello All,
I have developed an Webdynpro (for ABAP) component that has an Adobe Form integrated within it. Now I have been given a requirment that the form (once filled out on the portal) needs to be routed to 2-3 persons for approval and then submitted (or processed in SAP). The approving personnel will look at their UWL on the portal and approve/dissapprove.
I do not have much hands on experience on such a Workflow scenario as above. I have already completed the adobe form part and the webdynpro section.
I will really appreciate it if anyone can advise as to how I need to proceed here.
Thanks in advance, Liz

Hi Liz,
You can use the FM SAP_WAPI_START_WORKFLOW. In webdynpro you have the button like "Submit" right? All the process has done, the user can click the submit button to get the approval. Under the button you can call this FM.
Create one workflow based on your scenario, and pass the workflow number to this FM. So once the submit button is clicked then in back end workflow will getting triggered.
For more Informations, please have a look at following links.
SAP_WAPI_START_WORKFLOW doesn't start workflow...

Submit button from Adobe form doesn't trigger action???

Hi all,
the submit button within Adobe form doesn't trigger any action that i wrote. it happens to my machine, but it doesn't happen on some of my colleague's machines.
i am using Adobe reader 8, when the first time i use IE to display the app, it prompts me to install some kind of activeX plug in, and after it installed, it told me that some setting is not correct, and it mentioned about adobe reader 6 or 7.
will downgrade to 6 or 7 solve this problem? is there any other walkaround for it?
thank you!

If you are on Netweaver 2004s SP9 or higher, you could change the displayType property of InteractiveForm UI element to "Web Dynpro Native" and use the submit button from "Native" tab.
If you are any other lower version, you dont have a choice but to use "activeX" which requires Active Component Framework (ACF) to communicate with server. You need to use button from "Web Dynpro ActiveX" tab. You need to install the right version of ACF (SAP Note 766191). Better if you use Adobe Reader 8.1.2.
Thanks

Workflow for adobe forms

In adobe form when ever user clicks on submit button, then that form should be attached as an attachment and it should go for manager approval,if manager clicks on the attachment that attachment should open . i dnt know how to approach this situvation,how to trigger this workflow..
please any one give me suggestions

Hi TCS Team,
Adobe Form:
There are two different type of adobe form are available
1. Static Form
2. Interactive form
1._Static Form_ : If a form which has been created by a initiator and which should not been changed by his approver/Manager while he is approving / Rejecting the request.
Eg: Viglence clearance certificate
2. Interactive form: If a form which has been created by a initiator can be modified by his approver/Manager for some reason while or before approving / Rejecting the request.
Eg: PR Release: Where the approver may required more clarification on the PR.
In General, both of the form may be used depends upon the requirements. And we have to take it as Adobe form.
Your Query:
"In adobe form when ever user clicks on submit button, then that form should be attached as an attachment and it should go for manager approval,if manager clicks on the attachment that attachment should open . i dnt know how to approach this situvation,how to trigger this workflow.."
I will be explaining you one by one.
1. i dnt know how to approach this situvation,how to trigger this workflow
Triggering of workflow from a EP (i.e. ESS/MSS) Can be done via a RFC calls. We call this as integration of Java webdynpro with SAP Workflow.
There are many Function module available in Standard for this purpose
SAP_WAPI_START_WORKFLOW
SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT
May be used for triggering the workflow.
While Triggering the workflow you have get the PDF (ADOBE Form) into this import parameter
IFS_XML_CONTAINER as a string value, and update the same in the INPUT_CONTAINER (EVENT CONTAINER).
Then Pass the value to your workflow container.
Use the following FM to write the value in task container.
SAP_WAPI_WRITE_CONTAINER
If the same pdf has to be displayed in approvers inbox while he clicks the attachment use the followin FM
SAP_WAPI_READ_CONTAINER
For Attaching the PDF form into the Workitem
SAP_WAPI_ATTACHMENT_ADD
And for Reading the attachment in the workitem use this FM
SAP_WAPI_GET_ATTACHMENTS
If you have any further clarification, please post the same.
Thanks and Regards
Balaji K.
