WF based on "Positions" instead of "Users" ?

Hi guys,
Is somebody using any WF in SRM that is based on positions instead of users ?
For example, if the user A leaves the company, I delete his/her user but not his/her position.
After, I move the user B (object) into the Position A and this user (b) inherit the pending authorization tasks.
Thanks for you help guys !!!! =)
Kind regards,
Diego

Hello Diego,
It is technically correct SAP Business Workflow works with Positions but it is difficult to maintain the Org. objects in SRM and CRM applications. Because SRM and CRM have enhanced objects BP: Business Partner and CP: Central Person objects.
You can check object relationship with infotype 1001 in PP02 transaction.
Organization Unit - O 50000608
   -> Position - S 50000621
        -> Central Person - CS50006622
            -> Business Partner BP0000000111
            -> User USPURCHASER

How to get the Useru2019s position when the user doesnu2019t have CP relation

We have a custom program which will add / delete attributes (In transaction PPOSA_BBP). It is working fine for users which were assigned with CP relation But it fails for users which doesnu2019t have CP relation (since we are getting the position of users form HRP1001 then we are retrieving the existing attributes based on the position after that updating the attributes) as we are getting the position from HRP1001 it fails for users were no CP relation.
Help us how to get the Useru2019s position when the user doesnu2019t have CP relation. Suggest us any function module or how to query the HRP1001 or some other table if exists
Regards
Paul

Hi Paul,
Have a look at these tables.
Using table BUT000 the central business partner data are stored, f.e. partner type, partner names, partner number, partner guid, person number, etc. In table BUTBKK the bank data to a business partner are stored.
Central business partner address data
The table ADRC is used for the address of a business partner. Table BUT020 links the business partner number with the address number. Using table BUT021 several addresses to a business partner with different usages (modes), f.e. correspondence or delivery address, can be stored. The personal data of a business partner person are stored with key person number in table ADRP. The person number is assignd to a business partner person in table BUT000. Communication data of business partners as e-mail, telephone, fax, etc. are stored in the tables ADDR1 u2013 ADDR12. The business address of a contact person or an employee consists of the organization address (company resp. org.-unit) and of an address addition, which describes f.e. a building, a room number, etc. The address addition is stored in table ADCP and is identified by the keys address number of the organization address and person number.
Relationships between business partners
Table BUT050 contains the relationships between a business partner organization and a business partner person using relation types. The relation types are defined in table TBZ9, f.e. the relation type u2018has employeeu2019 corresponds to identifier u2018BUR010u2019, the relation type u2018has contact personu2019 corresponds to identifier u2018BUR001u2019. Table BUT051 stores communication data of a contact person relationship (compare to table ADCP). Table BUT052 stores several address numbers to one business partner relationship (including a standard flag).
Hope this helps,
Kind Regards,
Matthew

Workflow comes to the creator of the invoice instead of user assigned

Hi ,
I am facing some problem in my workflow. This workflo triggered from t code FV60 to Cost center owner creator of the invoice. Vendor master is Blank and XREF3 field is assigned with user id, then any invoice rejected by the cost center responsible, should trigger a mail to the user assigned in XREF3 field.
when Cost center owner rejects the invoice and workflow comes to the creator of the invoice instead of user assigned in XREF3 field. please help me.

Hi,
Correct me if am wrong :- Creator of the invoice is the initator of the workflow rite...
so check in the binding whether anywhere WF_INITIATOR is binded or not?

Adding a position to a user in the Users Setup

Dear all,
I want to add a position to a users in users setup but unfortunately there is no provision for this in Users-Setup window. However, the OUSR table has 'position' field which is blank for all the users. How can I add users' positions without doing this from the back end, database, using even an SQL command or doing it manually?
Please help.
Regards,
Davis M Onsakia

Hi Sura,
Thanks for this. But why use a UDF when this is provisioned by the database? I sort of expected to use something a kin to form settings to turn on the 'position' field.
The employee Master Ways is rather a laborious method and a bit cumbersome and I see the 'position' field there is from the OHEM table rather than the OUSR table.
Thanks though.

Instead of user exits?

Is there any other method to meet the customer requirements instead of User Exits?

Hi,
BADIs is other method to meet the customer requirements instead of User Exits
i will explain the difference between USER EXIT and BADI.
The major difference between Badi and customer user exit is badi can be built by class and methods means its purely relates to OOPS (Object oriented) and with single badi can contain multiple methods, so that one badi can contains screen, field, function exits.
For BADI:
Suppose let say imepl1 has created for badi00 and this badi00 contains 3 methods, in which you activated one method. Now you can also create one more implementation say imepl2 has to be create for badi00 to be use for method 2.
Conclusion: One BADI can implement multiple times but not Customer exit of project.
And coming to customer user exit, I will explain scenarios
There is requirement you need to be use the enhancement or function exit which already activated under one Project name.
As you know one project can contains multiple enhancements and enhancement also contains multiple function exits.
1) Suppose if you are going to be add one more enhancement in existing project which already implemented by some one. Now you have to go to existing project and go to Enhancement assignment and click on change mode, add new enhancement then by default it will display all function exits which it contains. Then as you know to add the code into include under particular function exit and activate include and come back and press activation button under enhancement screen and come back to initial screen ie CMOD screen press active button. This is one way to active or implement the existing project by multiple times.
2) second scenario is suppose if enhancement contains multiple function exits out of one user exit already activated by some one of written some code. Now you need to be writing or use other function exits under the same enhancement of same project. In this case you cant activate the function exit under separate project instead you need to be use the same project, by writing code in particular include by create it. This is one way you can use the same project as well as same enhancement, but creating or activating new function exit.
3) Third scenario is if you want to add the code to the existing function exit. Suppose if some one else already activated one function exit with code. Now requirement has come to add some more functionality to the same exit under the same enhance, and same project. This is like modifying the existing report or program.
Conclusion: You cant activate one enhancement under two projects
 Reward with points if helpful.

Can the license manager load the computer-based license first, instead of the user-based license?

We have several machines in the lab with computer-based licenses on them and a number of techs with user-based licenses. When a tech needs to occassionally sign in as themselves, instead of the generic service account, the license manager attaches the machine to their user account. Not a problem until they try logging in to LabVIEW from their own PC again and they get the 14 day trial period notice.
Is there a way to have the license manager look for the computer license first instead of the user license?
Thanks for any help.
Joe
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Joe,
In the license file hosted on the license server, you may be able to manually change the "sort" tag in the file to modify the order in which VLM checks out licenses. Licenses are checked out in descending order (2, then 3, then 4, etc.). Typically, your license file is set up in a default order, but in special cases such as this, it may be beneficial to alter the order. To do this, follow these steps:
1. Open the license file with a text editor (such as Notepad)
2. Search for the "sort" tag. For instance, the "VLM_Core" entry will have a sort tag value will appear as "sort=first". Do not alter this value. VLM_Core should always be first.
3. Change the sort tag value for the named-computer license to a value that is lower than the sort tag value for the named-user license. (e.g. "sort=2" for named-computer and "sort=3" for named-user).
4. Save the file and reinstall the license.
Let me know if you have any questions!

User access based on positions

Hi,
Can you throw me some hints on handling following requirement on CRM 2007, User A plays himself 2 roles say e.g. Marketing and Sales professional, assigned to 2 different position (different business roles, configured with 2 different PFCG roles). Marketing profession do not have edit access for master data in PFCG but it triggeres from Sales Professional PFCG role.
How can I control techanical authorizations defined in PFCG based on BR selection:
Thanks in advance.
Bob

Not sure if undestand you properly, but if you mean that when user logs in in marketing bus.role, that he should get only privileges of pfcg role assigned to marketing bus.role and not also from sales pfcg role, then this is not possible.
All pfcg roles are alwaysconsidered.

Default SC Plant Company code and Storage location Based on Position

Hi All,
We are on version SRM 7.02.
We are using SAP ECC R/3 EHP7 based system as a back end FI and HR system.
Org structure in SRM is replicated fromm HR system.
We have case of concurrent employment in the HR org structure , which means one USER can be assigned to multiple Positions in an org structure.
We have a user A , who is created in Two different org units say O1 , O2 occupying positions P1 and P2, belonging to company code C1 and C2.
Whenever a SC is created a custom enhancement shows all the user positions to him and he has to choose one from the list of positions.
Now based on the selected position(P1) , i have to default plant(PL1), storage location(SL1) and Company code(C1).
Even after defaulting attributes based on the position, user gets an error "company code C1 is not valid for user"
This error (Message class : /SAPSRM/CLL ; # 135) is thrown from method : /SAPSRM/CL_CH_WD_DODM_SC_I_BD /SAPSRM/IF_CLL_MAPPER~UPDATE
after getting user's Company code using following method.
/sapsrm/cl_pdo_shared_user=>/sapsrm/if_pdo_shared_user~get_company_code
This gets Company code as C2 ; Based on Users Attributes and not based on User Position attributes.
If i overwrite values fetched by this method in Implicit enhancement, then plant(PL1), storage location(SL1) are not getting fetched.
Does anyone have any solution for this problem?
Regards,
Ashish Shah

Hi MURUGESAN !
      Can you give me some information more in Special Procument Configure in plant 2000 like:
          - Procurement type (maybe F)
          - Special procurement (Maybe U)
          - Plant (Maybe 1000).
          - Issuing plant (maybe 2000)
       We will check together.

VAT REPORT BASED ON CURRENT LOGGED IN USER

Hi Guys,
I am Working for a client and it they are having 9 branches and for each branch there will be divided by different Series and different Tax Codes and they want a TAX Report based on the User Logged in.Each User Will be Assigned a branch and in the tax code an UDF(Location) has been created and for each tax code location has been entered there.
So when User 1 of Branch 1 is running the report then the report should show only the record of that particular Branch 1 and
 When User 2 of Branch 2 is running the Report then it should show only branch 2 records .
I Tired using an FMS to record the Current User Logged in but i am unable to include this in the below query.
SELECT T0.U_NAME FROM OUSR T0 WHERE INTERNAL_K = $[USER]
In the Below query , the Report needs to be filtered automatically based on the Current user Logged in(User who is running the report).
There will be different Branches and Each Branch has One O Two Licenses and whenever the User1 Of Branch 1 runs the report then the report should display only the record related to that particular branch within the given date range.
So ,to differentiate the Tax codes for each Branches we have created an UDF(Location) in tax codes and enter the branch name in the UDF and also each branch will have 3 different document series and each series.
Instead of Giving the Location as a Parameter to choose we need to filter the report by the User logged in .

Problem in maintain attributes for position in maintain user attributes

Hi All ,
I am facing a problem in Maintain User Attributes
I should get only 5 values for any user in attributes dropdown of attributes for position
But for some users I am getting as 10 values
and for some users I am getting it as 20 values ..
What my doubt is
will it be based on role dependency or anyother one ..
Pls let me know if u have any idea ..
Thanks
Kumar

Hello,
The ability of changing attributes via User settings depends on the role
assigned to the user and whether this role has the appropriate rights to
change the attributes.
In this regard, check the customizing below:
SRM -> SRM Server -> Cross Application Basic Settings -> Roles ->
Maintain Attribute Access Rights by Role.
Here you define which parameter can be changed depending on the role
assigned to user in question.

Ricardo

Billing based on Position Payer (re-posted again)

Hello,
Let me explain my doubt.
Our customer, the way of working, after creating sales order with documents flow, is modify de Payer at position level and later create again the Proforma billing, and the final billing.
This crash with the standard way of billing, for example:
Sales order A
Header payer: n1
10 Position payer: n1
20 Position payer: n3
30 Position payer: n1
Sales order B
Header payer: n2
10 Position payer: n2
20 Position payer: n3
30 Position payer: n2
Final billing by standard:
Billing number 1: against payer n1 (OK)
Billing number 2: against payer n2 (OK)
The problem is against payer n3, system generate 2 differents billing documents instead of one per the same payer.
Is it posible on VTFA- Billing based upon Order, item level 'Data VBRK/VBRP' , create a routine with a ZUKRI in order to billing by positions payers??
Another solution, on VOPA,delete PY for header billing partner procedure and add PY to position billing partner procedure?
I would be pleased if you can help us?
I have created this 9XX rutine and now system is splitting by WE instead of RG:
DATA: BEGIN OF ZUK,
MODUL(3) VALUE '902',
VBELN LIKE VBPA-VBELN,
POSNR LIKE VBPA-POSNR,
PARVW LIKE VBPA-PARVW,
END OF ZUK.
ZUK-VBELN = VBPA-VBELN.
ZUK-POSNR = VBPA-POSNR.
ZUK-PARVW = VBPA-PARVW.
VBRK-ZUKRI = ZUK.
Any idea
Thanks in advance
