Using workflow in DMS

Hi. I have several questions about using workflows with DMS.
I want to implement an approval workflow.
- Is it possible to fix the next status of the document if somebody doesn't approve the workflow?
- Is it possible to manage distribution lists when the status changes?
- How can I set all these things?
- Is it possible to use digital signatures to implement this? How can I set it?
Thanks a lot!

The questions are not very clear to me.  Kindly elaborate more on your requirements.
- Is it possible to use digital signatures to implement this? How can I set it?
Go to SAP Transaction SPRO -> Cross-Application Components -> Document Mangement -> Approval
Define Authorization Group
Define Individual Signature
Define Signature Strategy
Then go to Cross-Application Components -> Document Mangement -> Control Data -> Define Document Types
Select the document type for which you need digital signature and double click 'Define Document status' on tree structure on left side.
Select the status for which you need digital signature and click 'Details'
Provide the signature strategy that you created in field 'SignStrat.' and SAVE.

  • To send mail for cancelled jobs in SM37 to basis team using workflow.

    Dear All,
      I have a requirement to implement a workflow that will trigger a mail to basis team if there are any jobs with status Cancelled.
      I found a business object type 'BPJOB' which has an event Cancelled. I tried to test if the workflow is triggered when a job is cancelled using transaction SWELS. But it doesnt trigger any workflow.
      I tried finding a BADI/EXIT but there are no enhancements present for the transaction.
      We already have a report which will trigger an email to the concerned basis person when the job is cancelled but the client wants it using a workflow.
      I need to know whether there are any other ways to fulfill this reqt using workflow?
    Thanks & Regards,
    Supriya M.

    Hi SM
    try using BPJOB_SMAN, which is an object for Schedule Manager.
    check if it throws any event of BPJOB_SMAN.
    If yes, then use a WF which would send/notify mail to BASIS.
    Hope it helps.

  • How to configure oracle alerts to use Workflow mailer?

    Hello Guys:
    We were trying to setup oracle alerts using workflow mailer. I have created a dedicated mailer for handling oracle alerts related mail.
    Here is what I need to clarify:
    1. Having setup a new mailer for Oracle alert do I have to still configure the Options in Oracle Alerts. This is where you choose which type of mail u want to use ( like Unix mail,Windows NT mail )
    2.How do I tell oracle alert to use the new mailer that I created exclusively for this? While creating the mailer at some point I remember putting ALR in configuration form.
    I am on 11.5.10 CU2. I am on 11i.ATG_PF.H
    Regards,
    Bala

    Hi Hussain:
    Based on the note I realised that my oracle alerts will user unix sendmail. But then If u go to " Oracle Alert Options "
    -- > Mail systems -- I check Unix send mail
    -- > Mail server options ( Do I have to fill this section? )
    My guess is that the send mail will post the email to a IMAP account ( I created oraclealert account ) and IMAP account will push the alert email to Recipient
    Mail Database/Server Name --- imap.mydomain.com
    Mail Priority --- Normal
    Accounts
    Application Installation username Password
    Blank ** Blank ** oraclealert pwd
    Blank ** Blank ** oraclealert pwd
    ** - It wont allow me to choose an application.
    Is there a simple test to make sure that my oracle alert is working or not? I appreciate your help.

  • Vendor create process using workflow

    hello,
    I have been assigned a project to desgin a process to automatically create a vendor. below is what I think has to be done. can this be reviewed to see if this is the correct approch and if not, suggest a better approach.
    1) the vendor will sign onto our portal and submit their information to have them created as a vendor in our system. this information will be stored in a custom table
    2) the portal process will have a ABAP program that generates the screen for the user to enter thier data. this program will also start a workflow that will send a notification to a person inside our company for them to review the information and decide weather the vendor can be added.
    3) if the person approves the request, the workflow will submit a process to create the vendor, and send a approval email to the vendor
    4) If the person rejects the process, the workflow will send an rejecction email will be sent to the vendor
    I am in charge of creating the workflow and submitting the vendor create process
    thanks in advance for the help

    Hi Anil
    Take a look at the Workflow collateral located on http://otn.oracle.com/products/integration/content.html.
    I'd also suggest looking at the Sample Workflow Processes included with Oracle Workflow.
    There are also some on demand Oracle iLearning courses (ilearning.oracle.com) which should be very useful for you.
    Cheers

    Hi,
    Could anyone give me a case study describing how to create a new process using workflow builder? Where are the notifications saved in the database? Where is the process saved? Give me a general flow of events in the creation of, say a document management process wherein all these details are specified. A document containing the whole flow involved in the creation of a process using workflow builder. What all PL/SQL procedures I need to write and all. I have both workflow server and builder installed.
    This would be of immense help.

  • Creating Prodcution order using workflows

    Hi all,
    Iam new to workflows. I have been reading the documents on Workflows on SDN and few  other sites.
    I want to know whether we can create a production order using Workflows. If so, How we need to
    pass necessary data like Material, Plant, Order type, Quantity and Basic Start date/ Basic finish date to
    the Workflows? I have idea about Business objects, Events,Step types and  overview of the workflow
    terminology and pracitced few examples on workflows. Can anybody help me  please?
    Thanks & Regards,

    I dont know about standard existing workflows available for your requirement as mentioned in one of the posts here. so you better check the availale standard first and then decide if you want to build a customised one
    and wat i told you is wat u need to do if you go for a customising one................ first of all identify what abap you are going to write to create your prodcution order. either its BAPI or BDC whatever.......maybe you create your own function module for doing that stuff...............then you extend the busines object of the prod order , then you add another method in it and call your function module in this method.........
    ok now you create activity step in your workflow that you have already made with all the start events and things like that.........this activity step will have a task that calls this new method of yours..... .
    you need to know some basic fundamentals of workflow for doing all this and if its your first time then it wil take some time.......

  • Use of SAP DMS & SAP Archive Link both together

    Dear DMS Experts,
    I am little bit new to DMS and have very less idea about functionalities and capabilities of SAP DMS & Archive Link.
    I have got few questions:
    1. Is it possible to use both SAP DMS & SAP Archive link togther.
    For example, there are certain objects like GRN, Invoice, Employee etc which are not supported in standard DMS.
    However, they are supported in archive link.
    But at the same time, there is requirement of setting and resetting of some statuses of the documents attached with PM notification or with PR / PO. This functionality is available with SAP DMS.
    So I want to know, is it possible to use SAP archive link for few objects and SAP DMS for other objects.
    2. In case of SAP archive link configuration, we need to define link between Object Type, Document type and content repository
    in node "Edit Links" under "Basic Customizing" under "ArchiveLink".
    Here we can not use all the content repository which we have created normally. But we can use only limited content repository ID.
    How does system decides, which content repository id can be used.? Where can i define that.?
    3. With SAP archive link, can i store my documents in the same content repository in which I am storing my all the documents with SAP DMS. I mean to say, both the SAP DMS & Archive link, can share the same content repository.
    We are having a seperate content server and requirement is to store all the documents in content server only.
    Would request you all to please help.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Mihir Popat

    ..is it possible to use SAP archive link for few objects and SAP DMS for other objects...
    Yes,you may use Archivelink for static documents that would be required purely for reference while DMS can be configured to handle documents that are more dynamic in nature (that require status change,version,revisions et-al)
    ..both the SAP DMS & Archive link, can share the same content repository.We are having a seperate content server and requirement is to store all the documents in content server only...
    Yes,you may store DMS and Archivelink documents can reside on the same Content Server.Content repository is a logical area/partition,hence you may create one content repository for DMS and another for Archivelink(on the same Content Server).

  • How to use Workflow Background Engine in Oracle Apps?

    I have created the development of a custom workflow,tested it in Developer studio in Workflow administrator and has been working correctly. I was hoping to implement this workflow using Workflow background process Concurrent request and move to production.Unfortunately when submititng the concurrent request I am not receiving any notification eventhough all the time Concurrent request always completes normal.(Also when submitting as concurrent request workflow is not prompting for the itemkey). Is it not possible to implement a workflow in the application using background concurrent process? Any help is appreciated.

    Please note that Workflow Background engine is used to process workflows that are in deferred status. It is not used to launch the workflow. You will have to write your own code to launch the Workflow using one of the following methods.
    1. Use WF_ENGINE.CreateProcess and WF_ENGINE.LaunchProcess APIs.
    2. Register a Business Event, create a subscription to the event to launch the workflow and raise the Business Event from your code.
    Workflow Background Engine has parameters such as Itemtype, Min and Max Thresholds, Process Deferred, Process Timeout and Process Stuck... which basically determine the type of background work it has to do.
    Please refer to Workflow Developer Guide on how to launch Workflows and the uses of Workflow Background Engine.
    Thanks

  • Order creation using workflow

    Hello,
    I'm trying to create sales order automatically using event triggered by user status changes. I need no user participation in this process. Can i use workflow for this purpose? As i see from documentation' examples user activity is needed...Do i understand correctly?
    Please advise.
    Thanks in advance!

    I still want to point out that you don't necessarily need a workflow. Maybe you could call the BAPI for creating the sales order at the same point when you change user status in this quotation (I don't know really what you mean by this, and how you do this). Maybe the workflow solution is the correct one, but it isn't always the case. You are in workflow forum and people are enthusiastic about using it for everything (including myself ;). But let's say you wanted to have a control about the sales order creation already in the user status change - for example if the sales order couldn't be created, you would like to issue an error message for the user doing the status change - in this kind of case the WF solution would not probably be the best one, because the workflow will execute the BAPI in the background.
    But I am sure you will find the best solution for your requirement.

  • Using workflow to email and fax output documents

    The requirement is that everytime an output is triggered for a document, the document should be emailed and/or faxed to certain contacts that are maintained on the customer master. Currently you can only email or fax to one contact at a time but we would like to do it for multiple contacts.
    Can this be achieved using workflow? I am relatively novice in workflow but would like to implement it if possible.
    The solution we have right now, which works by the way:
    Add a function module in every driver program to extract the contact information and populate a database table
    Run a batch job ever 5 mins that reads the database table and emails/fax using the contact information.
    Am looking for some ideas for a more efficient way of doing it. Thank you.

    yes you can sedn the mail to multiple recipients  by using ythe workflows and even you can attach the Document to the mail as a ATTACHMENT
    by using differnet Fm that are available  just go to se 37 and SAP_WAPI click f4 you will find all the FM that are required.
    Important: You have to use a step ACTIVITY and make it as background step because there is no need of any sort of interaction with the user while determining the Agents and after getting the result  i mean the reposible users  store them ina internal table of type SWHACTOR and
    in the mail step use EXPRESSION and assign these determined agents
    For this you have to bind the Task conatiner elements and workflow conatiner elements ok

  • Want to use workflow ws20000075 to notify multiple Positions (HR org unit)

    We use workflow WS20000075,  in the config IMG 'Define Release Procedure for Purchase Order -> Workflow' , we assign agent HR Position to Release code.  The workflow ws20000075 works fine to send workflow notification to 1 Position - procurement manager. Apparently the config only allow to assign 1 position only for a combination of release group and release code.
    What we want to do is for the workflow WS20000075  to notify more than 1 positions (example, Assitance manager, manager and head of department) to release a purchase order. How can this be done ?
    best regads,

    Unfortunately I don't have SAP access at the moment, otherwise I would have checked if this is a dead end or not first.
    For release of Purchase <u>Requisitions</u> the release codes take a parameter which is used to specify how the workflow is used for the release code (when you use release with classification). This parameter is left empty for no workflow, 1 for agent from customizing, and 9 for agent from user-exit (you need to implement an Enhancement).
    If the same possibility exists for release of Purchase <b>Orders</b> here's a trick, assuming your agents can be derived from HR master data. If they can't there's always the possibility of a Z-table, but that requires additional data maintenance, which one should always try to avoid.
    The thing is that you can define the agent in customizing, and read that value in your user-exit code. By combining the customizing information with other master data (purchasing group?, other) and HR information (job, organization unit) you can then find all the three agents you want. I've done a similar thing myself, but not for the purpose of finding multiple agents. Worked fine for my purpose, so it could be worth a try.

  • Create multistep page flow using workflow

    So here I am! I can't find the information on how to access these instructions. Can anyone help?
    thx

    I have that page from the older version, near the end it has in RED the following: "This content is incomplete as of the release 11.5.10 production documentation build.

    Have you seen the actual tutorial, not just the description of using workflow to accomplish pageflow?
