TRIP Workflow

We have created a version of the Trip workflow based on but not the same as the SAP standard offering, but from what we can find, neither TRIP or PR05 when used to create a Trip expense in ESS will cause the workflow to start.
They both trigger the events 'changed' and 'approved' .... the latter even when the Trip is simply saved ... whereas the standard SAP workflow and the other examples of Trip workflow's that i have seen, all respond to just the 'created' event.
As well as this, both transactions have the button to 'approve' directly... so making workflow pointless.
Are these settings defined in Config?

Hi Neo,
it seems like you need to customize the standard template and the business object BUS2089 a bit since the object doesn't have methods for settlement functions (at least in ECC5.0).
Not knowing the specific requirements and details, I would guess that you would need to create custom business object methods for the SD/HR settlements and then run these methods as background tasks (if no user interaction is needed) after the appropriate approvals.
Hope this helps you get started,

TRIP Workflow approval issue

Dear All
We have developed custom workflow for TRIP workflow, with single level approval of line manager.
We are raising Trip request using Transaction PR05.Workitem goes to line manager for approval in SAP inbox and
NWBC (SAP netweaver ) for approval.On approval by manager workflow is completed instead of further processing.
Reason for completion of workflow is Event BUS2089 CHANGE is created with event APPROVED.
Due to this CHANGE event current workflow instance is completed,as parallely condition for CHANGE is checked for workflow completion.
Kindly let us now this unexpected behavior of CHANGE event creation of BUS2089 on approval of trip by manager and any
steps to control this.
Thanks and Regards,
Aditya

Hi Aditya
You may want to retain CHANGED event wait step so that if the trip is changed outside the WF, the current instance, being redundant, gets completed.
For your case there can be two different approaches, depending how you have implemented the workflow.
1) Check who is the user triggering the event CHANGED in this case. Is the system catching the manager user name or the user name WF-BATCH. If it is WF-BATCH, it becomes fairly simple. You do not complete the workflow after WAIT for EVENt step, instead loop back to wait step for any possible changes later on (outside the WF)....you will get the user name in the event (_EVT_CREATOR)
2) If the username is that of the Approver, see if this works for you (Iam assuming that your approval is in one branch of the fork and the wait for event is in another branch of the fork (1 of 2 fork)).
a) Trap the Actual Agent of the decision in the approval branch
b) Trap the user triggering the COMPLETED event in the other branch
c) Compare the two - if they are same, do not execute the process control step to complete the WF instead loop back to wait step for any possible changes later on (outside the WF).
Not sure if this will work because there can be timing issues.....the Actual Agent of approval may not be written in one branch and the comparison happens in the other..... it's worth a try

Regarding triggering of TRIP workflow.....................

hi friends,
we have implemented ESS for employee subgroup "executive and above" in our compnay no doubt whenever the user creating trip request through ESS my trip customized trip workflow is getting triggered.
but for workers when ever my travel administrator creating trip request through TC-TRIP then in this scenario the workflow is also getting triggered.
means i want to know how can we restrict that when ever trip request is creating through TC - TRIP the workflow must not be triggered it should triggere if and only the trip request creating through ESS only

Hi Rajat
This cannot be achieved. Since tirgger event travelreqeuset event calls in both the cases. You cannot avoid triggering whenever the travelrequested from the t-code. One way you can try, in the triggering the event check wheather sy-tcode is trip in that case exit the workflow in your design else continue. Write to logic to get the t-code data in your attribute .

Approve Trip Workflow

I have a couple of questions:
When the manager receives a notification in the UWL to Approve a 'Trip' he has several options.
Display Form and Need to correct trip facts has arisen.
1. How do I remove the 'Display Form'?
2. If I want to correct the Trip and click on the Need to correct trip facts has arisen button nothing happens. How do I correct the Trip?
To resolve point 2. to do I need to use BADi TRIP_WEB_CHECK?
Thanks
WB

could you advise what workflow are you using? I wanted to know the application name that shows youthe display form button.

Resolve/Premiere Pro CC 14/AE Linked Comp Round Trip Workflow Q's

Hi All,
I started using Premiere Pro for a project I just wrapped editing. I switched from Avid because I knew I'd be doing a bunch of comping in AE. Here is what I've done so far:
1. Resolve: BMCC/BMPCC Raw files converted to Proxy and exported AAF DNxHD 36 files (originally was going to use Avid)
2. Premiere: Edit footage and during editing created numerous linked AE Comps.
3. Premiere: Finished the cut and am now attempting to determine how to relink the AE comps to the RAW footage to grade and send back to Premiere/AE. I've used an XML to relink to source camera files in Resolve with no issue outside of some effects not supported and the AE Linked Comps.
I understand this is going to be a bit of a manual process but here is what I'm thinking: log each clip used in AE manually, grade the footage in resolve, export as lossless a file as possible (DPX?) and use the 'replace' function in AE to replace the proxy files with the graded footage.
Any tips on how to make this a bit smoother?
Thanks!

I want to dynamically link from from PR > AE > PR.
You can't. Dynamic Link is a one way trip, from PP to AE, or from AE to PP. But it stops after one link.
Instead of importing the project to AE, do a Replace with AE Comp on the desired clips in the sequence.

Round trip workflow with proxies between Premiere and AE / a more general question about how these programs work?

Hi all,
I'm new to editing with proxies in Premiere and have some questions about how to handle the relationship with After Effects. Say I have a rough cut (with proxies) and I want to send it to AE to do some effects. The simplest thing to do seems to be to replace the proxies with the originals in Premiere, send the project to AE and do my thing. But if I then want to send the project back to Premiere, it will involve the original files, which are too machine-intensive for me to edit. In theory, it seems like there should be a way to send the project with original footage to AE, do effects, send it back to Premiere, and then replace it with proxies to do further editing while retaining the effects.
This leads to a confusion about how AE works. When I do an effect, am I correct in assuming that it does nothing to the original file? If that's the case, it seems like it shouldn't matter (in the editing stage) what file AE "applies" an effect to (proxy or original). But I feel like there's a hitch in this workflow. The same question could also be asked about going back and forth in Speed Grade.
Perhaps there is no real answer to this and the best option is to save effects and grading for after I have picture lock, but sometimes that's not entirely possible or convenient, etc.
Hopefully this makes some sense—It's a little hard to explain.
Thanks.

ESS FI-TV workflow

Hi all,
I'm using the Business Package for Employee Self-Service (mySAP ERP) 1.0 on Enterprise Portal.
I can´t find a way to activate FI-TV workflows.
Can anyone help me?
Best regards,
Luis Cruz

I guess there are 3 workflows in Travel. One is approve trip,approve travel plan and approve travel request. Pls check if you have the appropriate workflow activated.
Workflow is started by an event that is created when a trip is saved.
The Approve Travel Plan workflow is started each time a travel plan is saved/posted.
The Approve Travel Request workflow is started when a trip is saved with the travel request/to be accounted status.
The Approve Trip workflow is started when a trip is saved with the trip completed/to be accounted status.
Are u creating a travel request or a plan ?

Need Documents on SAP Workflow

Hi,
Could anybody please send me some good documents on SAP Business Workflow?
Thanks and Regards,
Pritam

Hi Aman,
I am in dire need of the documents too. Actually, what I need is the SAP approve trip workflow template. The SAP library note says to perform task specific customizing to assign task agents and activate linkage...however, I could not find travel management on the IMG path...find it below:
If you use the Approve Travel Request and/or Approve Trip workflows:
Choose Financial Accounting ® Travel Management ® Trip Costs ® Assign Tasks to Agent.
Assign agents for the following standard tasks:
TS 20000118
TS 20000135
TS 20000139
TS 20000189
Would you by any means have an idea on this? Thanks

Developer/Designer workflow

In the videos it shows a two-way share of project Flash Builder 4 (Fb)<->Flash Catalyst (Fc), infact in the 10 minutes demo video it shows a developer 'importing an Fc project' directly into Fb4.
I can not find this option in any drop down menu in Fb4 and it seems the only way to get an Fc project into Fb is to export an fxp file. It also seems that the Fb project created is in quite a different structure to the Fc one.
So what happens when the designer wants to edit the designs? How are the changes updated and reflected in the Fb project (I can only 'import' an fxp file)? If I add code in the Fb project how does the designer see the functionality I have added in Fc?
I thought this was the WHOLE point of Fb/Fc. But where is this functionality?

Oh Dear :-(
I received this email from the design team today - they didn't know it was me that made the post, and I gree with them
Hi Conrad,
Thanks for the info, downloaded the two apps today and gave them a spin.
Creating a project in Catalyst and importing the FXP into Flash Builder seems to works fine.
However exporting a FXP file from Flash Builder and then opening it in Catalyst does not work for me. Also this post suggests that it's a one-way workflow so far:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/440806
Do you know anything about this? Since it would prevent designers from updating projects it's very much a make-or-break feature.
Thanks,
Peter
I reiterate the point - really crucial to us - we were expecting MUCH more - its very much a make-or-break feature.
Dissappointing
You state that
"but in 1.0 we're focusing on a round-trip workflow between Catalyst and the CS tools"
BUT the Catalyst/Flash builder touted selling point is that is a developer/designer workflow NOT a designer/designer worflow. We have had a one-way workflow for ages, and this was supposed to fix that - really really dissapointing...

Development Workflows

I'm working on a project that I design screens in Fireworks CS5 (FW), build interactions and animations in Catalyst CS5 (Cat) and finally hook to my server backend in Flash Builder 4 (FB).
Currently I've prototyped some quick states with a few screen transition animations. There are a states that I'll add more transitions to later, but for now I've pulled them into FB to hook to my services.
What I am trying to figure out is, what will my workflow and coordination with other devs on the project be. If we work on FB projects and build our app, but then later down the cycle we need to add animations to our states. How do we do this? Are we going to have to export from our FB back into Cat every time? Which would then require creating a new FB project then reconciling the differences between the 2 projects with FB "Compare With" feature?
How are others doing this?

With FC (CS5) and FB 4 there really isn't a simple (or easy) round-trip workflow, yet. The next versions (Burrito and Panini) are supporting a better process, but here is what we did for creating Adobe WorkflowLab.
The initial design was laid out in FC and then brought over to FB. As we continued development in FB and the designs changed, we would use FC as more of a converter then a design/dev tool. We would bring parts of the design that changed from Illustrator (our designer used this for all assets) into FC. We then converted the design as needed then we either opened Code view in FC and cut and pasted the generated content into FB; or we exported the library and then brought the library into FB. Once the library was in FB we then copy and paste the content into our FB project as needed.
As you can tell this is hardly an ideal workflow, but it was still significantly faster then older ways of doing design integration into Flex applications. One note about this process, we spent a lot of time upfront working on wireframes and creating a designer/developer "contract" to help the parallel development process from falling apart. If you are interested about this process then I would check out our series on PeachPit about how we planned, developed and deployed WorkflowLab using CS5: http://www.peachpit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=1624607
Hope this helps a bit!

Want To Use Motion 3 for :30 sec. Spots

I'm trying an experiment. I'm creating an entire :30 sec. TV spot in Motion 3. Since I have a beefy system, I figured why not, it may speed up my work flow. I'm surprised to find Motion struggling to play back fairly simple layouts. Better when I use the RAM preview, but not as speedy as I'd hoped. I'm only talking about a background movie, top and bottom rectangle bars, some static text, and some other short video clip popping in and out. Also a music track and voiceover.
I know I could do the round-trip thing, but was hoping to simplify things. Title 3D is very unusable since FCS2. Any old text clip has to be complety re-worked to fix the leading and the styles don't always show up in the editor. I love that I can type right on my layout with the style, which speeds things up.
But I'm finding some things missing in Motion that would make this idea more feasible, such as transitions (as opposed to keyframing), flicker filter, having playback not drop frames because it can't keep up.
Motion should be able to handle this easily, but I'm losing faith. Am I barking up the wrong tree?
Thanks.

I had to create an a :30 second spot in less than 10 hours, including client feedback, and changes. I created all the pieces for this one in Motion. Married the beginning and end and did audio editing in FCP.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cN10_6pyshQ WARNING! politically charged content.
I definitely use the "round trip" workflow. FCP is the hub - whether for media in/media out/rendering/etc, I use Motion extensively, but audio and assembly and organizing - FCP is the way to be...

Confirm end of processing check box in task

Hi,
In my workflow used fork with 2 parallel branches.
In one branch is a dialog activity step ( sending doc to incorportaors for review - checked the confirm end of processing checkbox in the task )
and in the other branch is a 'Wait for Event' step ( wait for rejection - when status getting changes to 32).
when executing dialog activity with confirm end of processing,branch 1 wait step workitem is getting completed and branch 2 workitem is logically getting deleted and further step in the workflow is not executed in branch 2.
Same changes I am trying to do without confirm end of processing pop up.When I uncheck the check box and execute the dialog activity, branch 1 wait step workitem is getting completed and branch 2 workitem is also getting completed ( instead logically getting deleted ) and further step in the workflow is executed in branch 2. I dont want the remaining step to get executed.
Please let me know how to achieve this. I tried with some function module but its not working.
In the attached file, I have shown the screenshot where it is going wrong.
Thanks & Regards,
Priya

Hi Priya
Both steps (in both branches) are getting executed by the same activity by the user. Yes, it's a race as correctly mentioned by Mike
As mentioned by Prakash, either you need to restrict REJECTION event creation or you can try an approach mentioned in the following thread:

Exporting AAF for Pro Tools.

So I got an OMF from FTP into STP with no problem, only to find that I couldn't export it again - hopefully a feature in the new STP? Anyway, my only option was to export an AAF (don't have the original FCP timeline to work with) - this audio needs to go to Pro Tools.
But my Pro Tools guy is saying he can't do anything with the AAF file if it's not consolidated into one file - like the OMF normally is.
So - is there a way to export a consolidated AAF? I don't see the option.

Our round trip workflow works, but still hoping for a better alternative in the future.
Duplicate & Rename the sequence for export (just a good habit to have... "videoblah.002, 003, etc). Then clean up any potential audio / video problems; clips that are not enabled, duplicate audio, delete blank tracks, and all the stuff the seems to crowd in the back of my timeline.
-It is a good idea to label your audio tracks for transfer (right-click> rename)
After that I export an OMF. (File>Export>OMF) and select the settings below:
That's just audio so for video, I export a quicktime H.264 video for ProTools DVtoolkit (video import plugin). Protools will except H.264 .MOV files, but it will not ingest H.264 .MP4's. It will also handle 1920x1080 files, but if I am rendering out a long project I like to keep the file size smaller by cutting the resolution in half or more.
The audio guy then takes it from there and gives me back a 24-bit single track audio wav file.
Thus far it seems to be a workflow, but if I want to go back and make changes, then either I have to do it all over again, or tell the audio guy specifically what needs done.
All in all, it's not efficient as using a roundtrip workflow such as AVID > ProTools and back again in AAF form.
Hope that helps.

How to Create and adjust masks with SDI output or Dual monitor output activated?

Hi all Speedgrade community.
For me one of the biggest problems I constantly encounter is managing masks within speed grade.
The tools are great, but if your using and external reference monitor for grading there is no way you can manage
masks and see what your doing on that "external" screen. Is there a way of activating dual screen or ddi output and keeping
the viewer active in the GUI?
When I know I'm going to be managing a lot of fine tuning grading, I usually always switch to Scratch or Resolve, and that breaks my Adobe CC round tripping workflow
AE<-->PP<-->SG
Thanks for any help.

Hi Fran
Thanks for your response.
Is it just me, or does the pointer, when sent over to the SDI output, not respond as well
as when it's on the GUI?
Anyway, I'm quit confident we'll see an update to the way video is routed within Speedgrade
in a near future.

"This feature requires Adobe Flash CS5 or higher to be installed."

I have Flash CS5 & the Flash Builder 4 Eclipse plugin installed & get the following error when trying to create a "Flash Professional Project" in Flash Builder. Can someone help me figure out why the two are not seeing each other?

Hi,
For the round-trip workflow between Flash Builder and Flash Professional to work you need to install (and use) Flash Builder 4 as standalone, not as a plug-in to Eclipse.
Thanks,
