User Decision - locking an object

Hello,
I'm using User decision step to send workitem to approver for travel request approval. If the travel request is already locked then user should get standard error when clicked on Approve/Reject buttons and the workitem should remain in the approver's inbox for approval. Please advice me in this.
Thanks in Advance.
Siva Sankar.

Hi
Please elaborate on your requirement as to why such a behaviour is required.
Also by locking do you mean that the trip has status locked or it is the concept of locking you are talking about.
Thanks and Regadrs

  • FM to find user who locked the object using enqueue...

    Hello,
    How can I find name of user who enqueued the lock object in ABAP ?
    Regards,
    Jainam.

    Hi Jainam,
    See the SAP documentation, e.g. [FAQ - Lock concepts|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_NW04/helpdata/en/cb/168237d30d974be10000009b38f8cf/content.htm]:
    How can I find out who is currently holding the ungranted lock? In other words, how can check the program after an ENQUEUE to determine which use is currently holding the lock so that I can let him or her know?                                 
    This graphic is explained in the accompanying text Answer
    When the ENQUEUE_... function module is returned, the name of the lock owner is listed in SY-MSGV1.
    If you don't want to attempt to lock an object and just check who might own a lock use function module ENQUEUE_READ. Lots of comments in the forum...

  • Objects and Attachments in User Decision Step not possible

    Hi all,
    I have designed a workflow where during the 1st step(Archivelink image display) I am able to display archived image, and in the inbox for the first workitem I can see the Objects and Attachments link related to the image.
    But my second workflow step(is userdecision dialog), I would like to see the same archived image link as the in the previous workitem under Objects and Attachments.(I dont want to create a new attachement)
    Can somebody tell me how can I accomplish this task.
    Thnks
    Yogi

    Hello,
    what you need todo is to use a container binding from the single step task from the 1st step where you bind the image object to the workflow container.
    Then in the user decision task you create a container element which refers to the image object. Then use a binding to 'send' the object from the workflow container to the task container.
    Kind regards,

  • Workflows : Objects & Attachments @ User Decision Step ?

    Hi pple,
    As Ramki said,I was able to create a link in the OBJECTS and ATTACHMENTS part for a normal Activity step.
    But now my requirement is to create a Link at Objects and Attachments part in USER DECISION Step. Can I do so?
    I tried copying the DECISION BO to ZDECISION and copied the the standard Decision task TS00008267 to my task say..TS97900168 with my BO ZDECISION, Now when I tried to include this task in the WF User Decision step, I am getting an error that I cannot include any other object other than DECISION BO.
    I thought of creating a ZDECISION Business Object and change the Default method of this BO. But I am not able to include a Z Business Object in the USER DECISION Step itself.
    Is there any way of instantiating the Objects and Attachments part with our own Attachment of the USER DECISION Step.
    Please let us know.
    Regards,
    Raja Sekhar.

    <i>But now my requirement is to create a Link at Objects and Attachments part in USER DECISION Step. Can I do so?
    </i>
    I am not sure I understand your requirement correctly. But an agent can attach objects or documents at a decision step by clicking on the Create button in the Decision step display.
    <i>Is there any way of instantiating the Objects and Attachments part with our own Attachment of the USER DECISION Step.</i>
    You can copy the standard decision task and define container elements for the BO references already available in the WF container. Bind them from WF to the step. These objects will then show up under Objects and attachments in the decision step.
    You can use the 'Create object reference' wizard to create an object reference if it is not already available.
    Cheers,

  • Sending Mail with attachment like User Decision

    Hi,
    Is there any way to send the document attached with the send mail step ? In User Decision, we can use binding between the workflow and task and document is attached. Like wise, is there any method ??
    I know we can send the attachment using the FM SO_****. So don give that answers. I want to know without using the FM, is it possible or not ?
    And i don want to use BO SOFM.
    For example, in Project Definition, one person creates a milestone. WF is triggered and goes for attachment of concorrence note. One attaches the concorrence note and mail is send to initiator. In that mail, can he able to see the attachment ??

    As far as I know the answer is "probably". You aren't saying how the mail is sent to initiator, you just say you don't want to use the FM or the BOR object type SOFM. I assume you are using the standard sendmail step type, i.e. BOR object type SELFITEM with method SendTaskDescription.
    As I am sure you can imagine, an attachment doesn't magically appear. If you send a workflow step (task) to someone, you can bind attachments to make them available in work item display. If you send a message you can construct it with attachments, but that doesn't happen without any effort. If you look at the parameters for SendTaskDescription you will see that there is a parameter for attachments. Try passing (binding) a value to it. If your SendMail task doesn't include that parameter as importing parameter you will of course have to fix your task (TS object) first.

  • Container variables in User decision Step in BPM

    Hello,
    I am using User decision Step in BPM.
    When i use only text in "Title for Display" the BPM is activated successfully and Status in SXI_CACHE also shows 0.

    Hi Shabari, did you follow the steps for declaration of variables as in [SAP help for user decisions|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi71/helpdata/en/42/c2a19fb4511d65e10000000a1553f6/content.htm]? How did you define your variable?

  • Step User Decision and Approval of Purchase Order

    Hello All,
    I have created a workflow with step user decision and also attached the object BUS2012 to display from SAP Inbox. But is there a way i can attached the object that would show the approval screen when the work item is executed, and also send a mail for the user decision.
    Urgent help needed.

    Hi,
    You could use a secondary method in your user decision step which executes an object method and for example displays the PO so users can make the correct choice in the user decision.
    Regarding sending an email you could have a sendmail step after the user decision step but wthis will not be executed until the user decision is complete. Why do you want to send an email?

  • ABAP OO & Custom made user decisions...

    Hi,
    I've been playing with ABAP OO for a little while now, but  keep encountering the following problem. I tried to look for the answer here, but could find it.
    Often I make a copy of the standard user decision task TS00008267. Then I can create my own text in there. However, normally I can use an attribute of a BOR-object as a variable here via the 'Expression' button, but I can't use the attribute of a class here!
    I get the message: "Variable &ZEMPLOYEE.GET.NUMBER& exists in description text Task description, but does not exist in the container."
    Has anyone encountered this problem too and maybe has some tips for me? The workaround I use now is by defining container elements in the task for every variable I want to use and pass the value via the binding. This is not really desirable of course.
    Any tips of help are welcome!
    Regards,
    Erik

    Hi Erik,
    Is the attribute you want to use in the text a public one? I think it needs to be if you want to use it.

  • User Decision with Secondary Method

    Dear All,
    I have created a user decision step for Leave Request workflow (ie. to approve or reject ).
    This is done for multiple approvals of leave request through UWL i.e. user can select multiple requests & take decisions(approve/reject).
    In the user decision step, i want to use a method other than standard task TS00008267.
    In the methods tab i have used Secondary Method,
    Object Category as Class
    Obj.Type as CL_PT_REQ_WF_ATTRIBS
    Method DUMMY.( as per the standard workflow - WS12300111).
    But no value is returned by this method. How can binding be done here so as to use the values in further steps??
    Please help.
    Regards,
    Vidya

    Hey it is very easy to know whetehr the leave is approved or not. and even you can get this decision into the workflow container
    No need of using any secondary methods SURE
    See the step Approval in the Leave workflow will use Dummy method of that class that you have mentioned.
    Your staus is updated in the REQ container element of the workflow , it is the that you mentioned, in that class you have a attribute with name Status whe you approve it will be changed to Approved when the leave is created it will be Sent , so by using a Condition step check this attribute value if it is approved then in update one conatiner element  by using Container operation step.

  • Solutions for User Decision step- Upon reject, auto-popup text for reason

    Execute user Decision workitem, when user click reject button, open text for rejection reason within the workitem.
    Ideally, for the auto-pop text , we need a descriptive header and user can enter reject reason. Text must be added before the workitem can be saved.
    Any thoughts.
    Thanks a lot.

    yes, on the SOFM.Create-Task use a dataflow from the WIOBJECT_ID => (append table) ADHOCOBJECTS
    This will popuplate this rejection to the hyperlink-section of the workflow.
    You may also activate the outcome-even "user-cancelled" in the workflow definition (or by copying the coding to your own method that could do it) and loop around back to the user decision if he cancels the document create (which I found out is sometimes a problem for the users).
    I also have made the experience that it is quite the same effort and more convenient if you design a complete user-driven screen. Then you have full control of that issue. I always use a small dialog box with a textEdit-Control where the users have to enter their rejection reason.
    I then create my own ZWFNOTE-Object and append this to the ADHOCOBJECT. This usually works very fine.
    with kind regards,

  • Url link in User Decision workflow step

    Hi Experts,
    I had created a workflow for "Employee transfer" process using SWDD tcode.
    I had a created a workflow step with type as "User Decision".I had included "Approve" & "Reject" decision options.
    Now i want to include URL link along with "Approve" & "Reject" in the user decision workflow step (i.e) The manager needs to see the URL link along with "Approve" & "Reject" in his SAP workflow inbox.
    Can anyone guide me...
    Regards,
    Krishna Balaji T

    Hi Krishna,
    I understand your issue. I have faced a similar issue in my project.
    Here is the solution!
    To add link of a URL you need to have the binding with the BO of the transaction your are refering to. To do this, you need to bind your BO event (triggering event) to the workflow container and then the workflow container to task container. This BO value should flow from event-> workflow -> task container to get the link in the User Decision.
    To do the binding you need to follow the following steps:
    1. Go to t-code SWDD and open your workflow template.
    2. Go to Basic Data (cap sign button at the top of the screen) or click Ctrl + F8
    3. Go to Start Events tab.
    4. In the Object type enter your BO name (BO for the transaction you need to add as link), in Event of object enter the BO event. This would serve as the triggering event for your workflow.
    5. Click on 'B' i.e. Binding Defined, click on generate automatic binding. It would automatically generate the appropriate binding for the workflow. You can also alter the binding as per requirement. This binding would ensure that the URL comes under 'objects and attachments' section.
    6. Click on 'C' i.e. Start Condition. A dialog would open, select the appropriate start condition for the workflow. Check the condition before saving (recommended).
    6. Click on 'A' to Activate the binding and start condition. All 'A', 'B' and 'C' would get green.
    7. Save the changes made and activate your workflow.
    8. Do the binding between the workflow and the user decision step. Select automatic binding (recommended).
    You can also refer to the similar thread that I had provided solution to. This would help you resolve the issue!
    Re: URL of site has to be attached along with the mail
    Hope this helps!
