Triggering a sub work flow for multiple users at same time.

I have a scenario in which I have created sub workflow as an activity for approval process. This sub work flow should be triggered for multiple users at the same time and their decison is independent of each other.
This is like creating multipe instance of the same sub work flow and then the sub work flow runs indepedently as a new work flow for each of the approver and the process is completeded for approver independently.
How can this be achieved?

Tyr to do like this,
1. First include the subworkflow in the main workflow template.
2. Now include standard Block Step in the main workflow template.
3. In the block select the block type as ParForEach.
4. Before doing the 3rd point make sure that all the agents for whom you want whom you want to initiate the workflow, populate them in a Multiline conatiner element.
5. Once completing 3rd and 4th points open the block step under the tab ParallelProcessing assign the multiline container element name in the for e;g if the multi line container element name is COSTCENTER then do the binding like below. the conatiner element COSTCENTERLINE is created by default once you include the multi line conatiner element under parller processing tab.
&COSTCENTER[&_WF_PARFOREACH_INDEX&]& --------> &_COSTCENTER_LINE&
Now assign the agent of the subworkflow as COSTCENTERLINE , imean if suppose you have 3 entries in the internal table then three separate and for three different agents the workflow is instantiated.

How to reflect new changes in older instance of work flow?

Hi All,
I am working on a custom workflow.
This workflow is triggered by web dynpro component.
Earlier my custom infotype was getting updated from web dynpro, and work flow is used to maintain process flow.
But currently we started facing some authorization issue while updating infotypes for approvers.
So now i introduced an activity in work flow to update this infotype from work flow using WF_Batch
(calling method of a class to update the infotype), and commented the code to update infotype from web dynpro.
Now the problem is, i have few requests raised using older version of work flow,
in which the activity to update infotype was not there.
New requests are working fine, infotype is getting updated using work flow.
But in older requests when i am viewing from SWIA that new activity to update infotype is not visible.
How can i implement the changes to older instances of work flow?
Because for older requests in web dynpro also there is no code to update infotype as well as in older work flow instance
my activity to update infotype is not visible.
Waiting for help.....
Regards,
Amar

Hi Amar,
The changes will be reflected for new instances that are created after the transport of the new workflow definition.
The instances of old definition will continue as it is.
However a workaround could be that you can end the old definition instances by logically deleting them and start new workflow by T code SWUS or generating event by SWUE and go through the whole process again.
Re- triggering of the workflow seems to be only solution here .
Hope this helps.

Work Flow RFC

Hi,
i have made some changes to the SAP developed webdynpro application as per the requirement,
when the user changes the personal information in the ESS personal information screen the Standard RFC is getting called but, if the user made any chanegs to the First name or last name or martial status the Z rfc is getting called and the work flow triggers and the notification will go to the corresponding manager for approval once the manager approves the request then the changes will appear in the portal and also saved in the backend system.
bu while making changes the first name and last name or martial status and clicking the save button the following error is coming,

and my problem is that my application is working in the developement portal, but in testing it is giving error. please give me some suggestion s on this,
i have checked in the backend the RFC is available and executed successfully.
Cheers,
Apparao

Hi
    did you check the RFC in the backend with the same inputs , is it working fine .
    RFC_ERROR_SYSTEM_FAILURE An exception occurred that was not caught ,
    this would occur if there is problem from your RFC side ,
    put the code inthe try catch and try to test the application(which you are passing to the RFC) ,
     instead of application throwing the runtime exception , you would figure out the exact exception .
     even check the RFC in the backend with the same values you are passing , and execute the RFC .
     or even you can put a external debugging where the RFC get called and check whether the
     values are passed to the RFC , or other thing you can do it test the application inthe webdynpro
     with hard cording the values .

MSMP Work flow in GRC 10.0

Hi Experts,
I have a work flow requirement and would appreciate if you guys can please help me here . The actual requirement is to design a CUP Workflow and If there are SOD issues identified, the workflow will need to go to a central team for them to address each issue. If there is no SOD issue found, the workflow should end. The requirement is to configure the access request so that the end goal of work flow is just facilitation of an SOD review. There would be no actual provisioning of users at the end of the path.
I am wondering if this would work flow can be initiated with an function module based rule or i would have to create a BRF Rule for this . As per my understanding the flow should be Start > Access Request > Sod Analysis done > If Sod , Go to Central team otherwise end > Central team will decide on the assignment of SoD Resolution > This Team will either Assign MC or wont approve the Role assignment > Both Cases the work flow ends and request is closed.
Would really appreciate if you guys can assist me as i am new to work flow and this is one of project deliverables . Thank for your valuable time and help .
Vikas

Hi Ashish ,
Thanks for your time . Let me explain you my requirement and would really appreciate if you would have some inputs here which would help me to design this .
The actual client requirement is to design a CUP Workflow and If there are SOD issues identified, the workflow will need to go to a central team for them to address each issue. If this group decides to apply mitigating controls to the issues, the workflow must then go to the compliance group for them to review for appropriateness. Requirement is do a SoD analysis for every role change/add request , so that this group takes the appropriate action based on the SoD Analysis . For all my CUP request raised , i want system to do a SoD analysis and let this group know whenever there is a SoD found or just end the workflow if there is no risk.
I am aware of the Risk analysis process for GRC 10.0 , however i want it to happen as a part of this work flow requirement.
The requirement is to configure the access request work flow so that the end goal of work flow is just facilitation of an SOD review. I hope i was able to explain my requirement . Thanks again for your help.
Your valuable guidance would be really appreciated.

Using attachments in work-flow and creating custom text with key values

Hi,
I have 2 simple requirements.
1. how to attach a tcode or trigger method of business object for work-flow item. The user should be able to navigate to transaction to see data before approval or rejection.
2. I have created custom task for long text that will be displayed in the SAP inbox. How do I provide key values in this long text. I was able to do in the subject line using Substitution parameters(&Name1& etc..)
Regards
Kasi

I did the same thing. see details.
Created Workitem and attached a task "TS92500097". in the task, I mentioned Business Object and method to be called. I have set the binding also for this business object. the method I am calling is nothing but just "display" which is using call transaction. 2 problems here.
1. How do I show this "BusinessObject.Display" as an attachment or link in the mail.
2. how do I assign key values during exection of this attachment or link.

Work flow's Task Error?

Hi,
I am new to work flow and created a initial work flow to display the material.
I designed a work flow as following contents:
The work flow will ask you that, would you like to display the material.
If yes, It will display the material else, send the mail to SAP inbox Business Workplace with the negative message.
System is generated a work flow number and there is no inconsistence in the same.
But, it is giving error. I am giving the existing material number and pressing execution button.
The error is Task started under work item ID 410252 current status: Error .
If I get success then I am going to start working on real scenario of notification display with the same prospects for my client requirement.
Please help me out.
Thanks
Sekhar

hi,
this error may be because of two resons
1)Agent Assignment
2)Binding
In workflow there r 5 conatiner...u have to do binding
for this which business obj u r using...ceate it in container like workflow container , task container.
if there is any event which is triggering ur workflow...chk binding there also.
n check wether ur task status whether it is released or not.
Do agent assignment n make it General task.
Hope this will help u...

Work flow Version Different in Q system

Hi ,
Work flow Version in the development version 9 and when transport to quality it should be 16 , but in Q system version is activated for 4 . how can I change to 16 Version in Quality system .

Hi,
It is not a problem if there are different versions between your Development, Test & Production. The versions do NOT have to be aligned...and should not be really.
The way transportation of workflows operates is as folows:
- Create or make a change to a workflow in your development system and transport it to Test.
- If the workflow already exists in Test and it has running instances then a new version of the workflow is created automatically in Test. This is done so that the existing instances (work items) can use the old version and new instances created after the transport can use the new version. If the workflow already exists but had no existing instances (In Test) then it would simply be overwritten with the new transport.
- The same applies when you transport from Test to Production.
You do NOT need to have versions synchronized between systems.

Eddie

Work Flow Template and Work flow tasks

Hi,
Work Flow Template and Work flow tasks are the two objects which are found surprisingly in our client system(when we go to PP01/ HRP1000 IN SE16 ).My employer wants to know what these are:
Can any one please tell me about "Work Flow Template and Work flow tasks".
are the SAP Generated?
Can we delete them if we don't need?
Thanks in Advance
Gopi Palleti

Hi Gopi,
Workflow Template and workflow tasks are part of SAP Business workflow.
A business workflow is an executable process embedded in SAP applications that you use to automate business processes.
You can find more info here.

Set up Work Flow Email for Bill of Lading Process

Hello, I am trying to set up work flow for a process that we have within our company. Can anyone direct me in what steps I need to take in order to have the system trigger a automatic email within SAP to a user to approve a delivery transport each time one is saved?
I would like to have work flow triggered at the save of each transportation document. Is this possible?

Hi,
To get the Basics of WF check:-

Check SAP Technical -> Tutorials -> Business WF
There you can get a lot of starting material for WF's.
To trigger your WF u need to find the BO - SWO3 - U can find it here..!!
would like to have work flow triggered at the save of each transportation document
WF Trigger Event should be SAVE in the BO ..!!
To ask for Approval, u should have a User-Decision for the Approver.
Try these and let me know if you still face any issues..!!

WORK FLOW & PROCEDURE FOR FOR SNP CAPACITY LEVELLING HEURISTICS RUN

Dear Sir / Madam,
Currently, we are taking only SNP Heuristics Run and the output viz. planned stock transfer requisitions are being passed to PPDS as such. But now we feel, SNP capacity leveling can play a vital role in getting more fine tuned results from PPDS. So, We wants to start using the SNP Capacity leveling run. We shall like to know the work flow / procedure for taking the SNP capacity level run i.e. what inputs should be properly reviewed before taking the SNP capacity level run and what shall be its output..? Kindly let us know the procedure / work flow for taking the SNP Capacity Levelling Run.
Your early reply in this regard shall be really appreciable.
Thanks & Best Regards,
Sanjeev Chugh

Hi Sanjeev,
as in any other module, correct master will play a key role in getting effective results in capacity levelling. you will need to check the following master data while setting the system for capacity levelling :
Consistency in BOM in R/3 and PPM/PDS
Consistency in Routing in R/3 and PPM/PDS - the actual through put on the shop floor should be the same as that in the routing and in the PPM/PDS. unless this is in sync, no amount of levelling can return good results.
Maintenance of shift - again as present in the shop floor.
you can provide the dump of the above master data and ask the shop floor engineers to validate the data as it exists in the ssytem. you can do the consistency check between R/3 and APO yourself using queries. Once they have validated this master data and the the actual master data reflects in your system, i think, the job is more than 50 % complete.
also you need to check the lot sizes, rounding profiles, and period factor, becasue all three combined play a major role in giving good or better results after levelling.
you may also check at what level you want to run the levelling. whther the bottleneck is at the finished component level, or 2nd level, etc. you may check whther you have discrete manufacuring or REM and if you really want to levelling on REM order.
then you need to analyse, what is the lengh of horizon you want to run the capacity leveling on. sometimes it makes no sense to run on the entire horizon because if capcities are already overlaoded, you will not achieve the desired results.
hence depending upon the level of your understanding and comfort of the planner (who will be using this result), the horizon can be increased grdually.
if you are starting to implemement capcity levelling, you can sumulate runs and show the results to the planner and check if the standard capacity heursitics satisfies their requirement. else you can go for custom requirement.
you will also have to decide on the stratagies, priorities,etc based on the business requirement.
i think the above should give some starting direction to implement capcaity levelling in your system.
award points if you find this useful.
Rgds, Sandeep

ESS Work Flow

Hi
I'm new on ESS Work Flow. I got business request that if leave request end date is less today, then the work flow need bypass the manager approval and update IT2001 directly. I have two questions :
(1) How do I pass leave request end-date to work flow container so that I use that date to determine if work flow should be completed without manager's approval.
(2) How do I change work flow status so that leave request can update IT2001 without manager's approval. Currently, if I bypass the manager's approval (no condition due to do not know the answer of #1 ), the work flow status is set to complete, but it did not update IT2001 after I run report RPTARQPOST.
Thanks for the help.
Regards,
Jim

Hi Wu Jun,
Actually my problem is that I need define the workflow basing on vacation request start date and end date.
According to HR, if vacation request end date (for example 2 days vacation from Oct 18 to Oct 19) is less then today, then workflow should not seek a approval from the manager and update IT2001 directly. We are using a copy of WS1230011 with some customizations. Yes, the possible agent has been defined in general task.
One key step of the business activities in the workflow is the task TS12300097. In stead of calling object type from Business Object Repository, this task calls a ABAP class (CL_PT_REQ_WF_ATTRIBS) as object method. In this class, I could not find any attributes that is vacation start / end date related, therefore, I could not find associate container items from the workflow to make completion condition (if end date less than today then completing the step) of the step.
Hope you understand my issue and have more specified input. Thanks.
Regards,
Jim
