Workflow and POWL integration for Travel Request / Approval

HI,
We are on EHP7 and using POWL for different kind of Approvals.
POWL is working good for Leave Approval and we have used Workflow Task ID as : TS12300097 / TS12300116, and all leave request appearing in POWL for manager and approving them.
Now we have to use POWL for Travel Request / Travel Expense approval and need to know what Task IDs I should use to configure this under SPRO.
Few tabs / links created like Travel Req Approval / Expense Approval / Claim Approval in POWL and need to show entries in respective tabs.
Thanks

HI
Is it required to run FPB_MAINTAIN_PERS_S / FPB_MAINTAIN_PERS_M to display Travel entries in POWL screen.
2) Is it required to keep entries under "Assign Task IDs to POWL Types" in SPRO ???
ex : MANAGER_MSS_INBOX MSS_POWL_LEA_APPROVAL TS12300097
I don;t see any difference in terms of functionality even If i delete above entry, may i know the necessity of having those entries ?
Thanks

Travel Request Approval Scenario via Workflow does not trigger

Hi guys,
System Information: SAP ECC 6.0 EHP4 / Using WDA-Scenarios on Portal NW 7.01.
I'm having trouble understanding/implementing the approval scenario of the Travel Request via Workflow/UWL. POWL isn't usable for us as it isn't flexible enough to process the complex agent assignment rules for the respective approver our (momentarily..) requirements 'dictate' ...
What I did so far:
I copied the Workflow Template 200000040 to a custom template (since I'll have to alter it) and activated the Event of Creation for BUS2089. Thus, in SWE2, the respective entry for BUS2089 for the event CREATED has been set by the system. All good so far. When I create a TRIP via PR05 (we are public sector), the event for BUS2089 gets fired in SAPMP56T and the Workflow gets triggered; works out well. However, when I post a travel request in Portal (FITE_REQUEST), the workflow is not getting triggered. I searched for information or similar questions on the forum but didn't find anything. Neither did I find a concrete clue in the View Containers FITE_VC_* etc..
Could anyone assist me with this? I'm sure I'm missing something very basic here.... -_-
Bottom line:
Why is my workflow not getting triggered from creating travel requests via FITE_REQUEST?
Cheers, Lukas

SWE2 linkage is activated for my Workflow number (I didn't do it by hand, it's set by the system since I activated the event in my workflowtemplate --> this way actually no inconsistencies can happen).
SWDD Tests are successful and the Workflow is working well in general. That's why I pointed out in my previous post that the process is working fine when initiated via PR05.
EDIT: Or maybe somebody knows the part in coding FITV_FPM/FITE_VC* where the workflow should be triggered? It's freaking unfindable, I've been debugging for hours. >:-(
EDIT: Debugged the entire WDA Frmaework for like five hours...feeling dead inside...someone please tell me from where the workflow gets triggered when saving travel request from portal -_-....

Edit HTML FORM for Travel Request in BADI

Hi Experts,
I'm trying to use the BADI FITP_REQUEST_HTML_FORM_BADIDEF to edit the HTML form for travel request.
I need to add and hide fields in tables, but I don't need to create new tables in the form.
The example is like the following:
CALL METHOD co_dd_document->add_table
    EXPORTING
      no_of_columns = 2
      width         = '350'
      border        = '0'
    IMPORTING
      table         = lo_estc_table.
set estc columns
CALL METHOD lo_estc_table->add_column
    EXPORTING
      width = '150'
    IMPORTING
      column = lo_col1.
MOVE text-t04 TO lv_text.
CALL METHOD lo_col1->add_text
    EXPORTING
      text = lv_text.
We don't need to create new tables, we need to add fields in an existing table of the form.
Somebody knows how can I do that?
I hope you can help me.
Thanks in advance.
Oscar.

Overlapping trips (for Travel Request - TP04)

Hi, Gurus
Is there any way so that I can create 2 or more travel requests using the same period for the same employee? It would be a desirable requirement here in our company.
I know that through 'FITVFELD' transaction I can choose, for a given travel schema, if I want to allow overlapping trips (checkbox "Overlapping Trips Allowed"). But it works only for the expense reports ("TRIP" transaction) related to the schema selected. For travel request (TP04) I can't do that.
An example: with "Overlapping Trips Allowed" checked for schema A, I am able to create 2 or more expense reports (schema A) from 11/09/2010 to 11/16/2010. But if I try to create a new travel request (TP04) within this period, the system throws an error.
PS: As we know, unfortunately schema "PL" (Travel Planning) doesn't have "Overlapping Trips Allowed" checkbox... It manages some travel request parameters.
Thank you
Roberto

Hi robtaboaco ,
you can create two or more overlapping trip.
it will just give u warning if u have overlap trip. but you can still save it.
here's the link, hope it helps to explain..

Issue in Application Module and Enterprise Integration for SAP applications

Hi,
When I enabled the Application Module and Enterprise Integration for SAP applications Version 2.60 Patch 2 I am getting error in defect entity and Application Module. Does any one face this issue? Please let me know the solution.
QC details: QC 11.0 with patch 7
I followed the steps given in ALM addin page to install the adapters
Attached Screen shots of the Error

Hi
If you are wanting to know how to configure ESSO to be used to logon to SAP applications then there is a guide in the helpfile of the admin console. Simply do a search for SAP.
In short ESSO-LM comes with a SAP helper object which needs to be selected on install. To enable the ESSO SAP helper to interact with SAP, the SAP server and the SAPGUI client need to be configured. The details for this are in the helpfile. If you have multiple SAP systems launched from the SAPGUI then this is the best method because it means ESSO can distinguish between the different SAP systems through matching screens
If you have only one SAP system and you do not want to configure the SAP server then you could use send keys and not use the SAP helper object at all.
Hope this helps

How to configure Webdynpro for ABAP Launch for Travel Request workflow UWL

Hello,
We are on SAP ECC 6 EHP4, SAP Netweaver 7.01 SP5, for portal BP1.41. When we are running travel request in this new Webdynpro for ABAP in UWL it will lead from an attachment to PR05 trx. I would think that it would gve another screen where the manager can check a travel request. Is the standard SAP solution leading to this trx. PR05? We have tried to customize the task 20000189 in SWFVISU but it doesn't give us any results.
I would appreciate if you can give me an advice whether SAP standard solution will lead to PR05 or is there any other options what we haven't discovered yet. Otherwise we have to start customize it.
Regards, Paivi

Workflow and WD integration

Hi,
We are implementing Workflow and Webdynpro ABAP integration.Employee submits competences from portal, this triggers an approval task to the manager .Manager will approve the task from worklist and when he clicks on task, Web dynpro application opens up where he has to approve or reject accordingly.
We have approve and reject buttons in Web dynpro and we have used User Decision Step type in Workflow to open the Web dynpro application.User decision step decisions are mapped to Web Dynpro approve/reject actions.
So we are able to successfully launch the Web dynpro and perform the actions.But problem is the rest of Wrokflow after User Decision step is not getting executed. Workflow is getting stopped at this point.
We have tried using FM's SAPI_WAPI_DECISION_COMPLETE and SAP_WAPI_WORKITEM_COMPLETE.
Both these FM.s complete the User Decision step but does not execute rest of Workflow.
Please help me if you have come across this scenario.

Hello Archana !
         After user decision step, you have maintained the step that updates database as immediate step.
         Have you tested this step separately ? If it have yielded successful results, check the binding for the immediate step after user decision.
         Also, check the workflow log whether the containers for the step that updates the database are populated with required values.
         Is the method that updates the database is custom method ?

Workflow and Files Integration

Hello all,
I have sucessfully configured my files domain, run through the steps for integration with workflow and files. All seems to be ok except there are no review processes showing up within files.
I know in release 1 the demo workflows were loaded and tied into files.
Anyone know how to get these into the files screens so I can demo the workflow portion of files?
Thanks,
Dennis
