Workflow approval using fork

In my workflow ,when the workflow triggers 3 persons should receive the workitem parallely with same task and when 3 persons gets approved then the status of quotation should change to released. my problem is if i use fork step with 3 branches after how to check that 3 persons executed the workitem or not ,i mean if one approver

Hi,
Your Requirement is to send 3 person at a time. If one person approved, it has to proceed further right.
No need fork, Create a [rule|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/d053fe48-6513-2b10-a59f-871923ff99d8], in the rule you right a logic to pick those three approver. Then the workitem will send to all the 3 person.
Who Approving the workitem, that person user id, Name, time of approval,etc..all this things you can get in the Workflow log.
After approval you want to send a mail to creator that this person approved, you can also achieve it.

How to use a pwa group in CREATE A TASK PROCESS in SPD 2013 for project server workflow approval process

I am working on a Project Server 2013 workflow. I am creating this using Sharepoint Designer 2013. In this workflow I am using approval process at one stage. I have created a security group SalesManagers in PWA. I want to use this group for workflow approval
process. I want all users of this group get approval tasks.
For this I used START A TASK PROCESS activity in the SP Designer. I clicked on
this user and created task process. But here I could not find SalesManager group which I created in PWA. I was only able to find the users. I can also see
Administrators for PWA . But couldnot find SalesManager or any other security group created in pwa.
Can anyone suggest how I can get the security group created in pwa.

NBDevelopment,
I believe SPD only recognizes the SharePoint Groups and not the project server security groups.
The Administrators for PWA, and few other groups like Project Managers for PWA etc., are synced SharePoint Groups with the security groups, which is why they show up in SPD.
You could create a SharePoint Group for the Sales Managers group and use that in SPD.

Workflow error in fork step, process control, wait event

I am using fork step in workflow which has 2 parallel branches. In 1st branch i have a user decision step followed by a task for posting PO document in case of approval. In the 2nd branch of fork step I have a wait step to wait for an event followed by the same task for posting document with a process control step after that in the end to cancel the workitem(workitem generated by user decision step in the 1st branch of fork). I created the event by using a custom BOR object.
After the fork step is triggered, i have both a wait event running and workitem generated. When i raise the wait event from SWUE by entering the event, object key etc it works fine i.e., the workitem in the other branch is set of logically deleted and workflow ends.
But if the wait event is triggered from the program i.e., using FM SWW_WI_CREATE_VIA_EVENT, both get an error message in workflow log(SWIA). The message is: Error when executing the binding between work item 000000XXXXXX and flow item 000000XXXXXX where workitem number is the workitem id of the posting document task and flow item id is the workflow parent id

hi,
message is self explanatory.
Activate the event trace SWELS, then do the event with SWUE and within your program (als please use SAP_WAPI function modules).
Now compare the 2 events in SWEL to see what the differences are .
Kind regards, Rob Dielemans

Some Users cannot Open Workflow Approval Task

We have a SPD workflow published to our production site and it includes a 'Start Approval Process' task which involves a number of users (determined by a lookup to another list) this worked brilliantly until we republished the workflow with some minor changes,
none of which were to this particular approval task. Now we are seeing some strange behaviours. When some users click the task to approve they are seeing 'This from cannot be opened in a browser, To open this form use Microsoft Infopath'. Now strangely it's
only certain users, if you're a site collection admin you never have this error. So if a user previously had the error and i then add them to the site collection administrators list the error goes away and they can complete the task.
Obviously not a solution! giving users full control permissions on the task list or task item doesnt fix the error either. The same workflow on our UAT works without any issues. The task forms in SPD have not been customised either. Its a SP2010 Standard
farm with no infopath services obviously. Bizarrely there are some users with only Contribute rights to the task list who can open approve tasks, so it's looking like a permissions issue to me but I'm at a loss to find a fix. I've tried totally removing
the worklows and republishing, regenerating the .xsn task forms in SPD by deleting them and republishing, removing and re-adding the task related content types to site, Changing the Approval Task settings 'only allow users to edit their tasks...' to false
and then back to true, the works, but to no avail.
Anybody any ideas?
TIA
Chris

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that Some Users cannot Open Workflow Approval Task.
I recommend that you can create a new list and workflow to check whether it works.
Then use the user who get the error to open task.
If he can open the task in the brower, the issue is related to the older list.
Then you can use the new created list and assgin the task.
Here is a similar thread for your reference:

Self Registration without Company or Workflow approval

Hello,
We have NW2004s SP 10. Is it possible to allow a very simple self registration without using Companies or Workflow approval? The online help seems to imply that this is possible, but I've tried to configure our Portal as such but nothing shows up on our welcome page.
What I've done is the following:
User Admin UI settings:
Enable Self-Registration of Guest Users=true
Display Contact Information Form During Self-Registration = true
All the rest are set to false/blank or default
Visual Admin settings:
Server ->Service -> UME Provider -> ume.logon.selfreg = true
Thanks,
T

You also need to assign the UME Action UME.Selfregister_User to the Everyone group. Use /useradmin to create a UME role called something useful and add the UME action specified.
Now grant that role to the Everyone group.
Cheers

Creation of Position on Workflow Approval

Hi
We have a scenario like when we are creating any position or org. unit in the T code PP01 a Work Flow should trigger immmediately to the supervisor for approval on approval only the user should be able to create new postion on OM.
Is there any standard Workflow template or any customization is need please help on this
Rgds
Mythili

I do not believe any standard workflow is available for it.
you can have two options
1) Create an object in "Planned" status in Expert mode i.e PO13 or PP01, On saving, change to submitted status and trigger a custom workflow to the approving authority. the workflow will enable the approving authority to approve and activate it, so that it goes into active status. Only Active objects are available for use in the structure.
2) Customize and HCM Porcess and form to send a requisition request to approving authority, once approve use custom functions such to update the data in the system.
Hope this helps.

Workflow Approval for CTS+ for NON ABAP Transport

Hi
We have a NW Portal system currently using CTS+ for transport.
We would like to incorporate a workflow approval for transport across the different landscape (DEV -> TEST -> QA -> PRD) with CTS+. The workflow approval would work in such a way that when someone approves a transport request from DEV->TEST, the Basis Admin will then perform the import to TEST. So this approval will also be needed from TEST -> QA and QA -> PRD.
Does Solution Manager provide such workflow approval for NON ABAP transport?
I do hope anyone has such experience to share.
Thanks.
Regards
mike

Hi Mike
Yes solution Manager CHARMS or Change request managment functionality uses CTS+ to move the Non ABAP requests
it uses IBASE as identifier for systems and for more can search sdn
check this link too

Workflow approval for sb

I'm in the extended classic scenario. I need to check the workflow approval before of the sb saving. How table, objects contains this information?
thanks
Sabrina

Hi
What do you mean by sb ? Is it sc (Shopping cart or something else ) ?
Couple of ways to find the equired details.
1) By SRM GUI logon, incase you know the shopping cart number, using BBP_PD Transaction, you can get the complete Shopping approver details there itself.
2) By SRM Web page, if you created a new shopping cart, in the Approver Preview section, just one level above the Order button, you can see the list of managers, who will be approving the shopping cart (With their details in 2 manner - graphical/ tabular details - like name, next level approver, etc )
3) By using the Standard SRM Workflow function modules, incase you know the Shopping cart details, you can get the approver list with their names, approving limit etc.

*-- get Approval preview - on the Shopping cart applet information - Standard SRM uses this function to get the Approval preview in the shopping cart
CALL FUNCTION 'BBP_PDH_WFL_PARAM_APPLET_FILL2'
By creating a custom program, you can use the logic of fetching the approvers in advance, as done by SAP, you can get all the required details.
Refer this link for details.

Workflow approval - 'n' step BADI, Approval hierarchy problem

Hi,
Description of the issue:
For a shopping cart approval, the approver's list determined by the 'n' step approval BADI does not include the user who is the immediate in the org. hierarchy. Rather the work item goes to the superior authority (say MD) for approval, which must not be the case.
Pre-requisites checked:
1. Checked the org. hierarchy - Proper.
2. Checked the Roles maintainence for shopping cart approval - All is fine
3. Checked for approval/spend limits also - All is fine.
4. Tested BADI/Business Object - Approval Table is empty & Approver_administrator is 'WF-Admin was informed'.
5. Workflow log (technical details) - Checked in the containers for 'Approver's list'.
6. Checked table HRUS_D2 for any substitutes assigned - All seem fine.
This is the org. hierarchy,
(A - Requestor) --> (B - 1st level approver) --> (C - 2nd level approver) --> (D - MD final level approval)
The approver's list shows two names instead of 3, that is only B & D and not C. Hence the work item goes to D directly than going to C.
Please suggest.
Best regards,
Harsh Dave

hi,
Well the approver list is created from the badi for n-step approval in SRM.
If you say that approver list is empty when testing the badi, then you have to check which workflow is used in your environmennt.
It could be that someone decided to create their own logic.
so start by finding out which workflow template is used in this scenario, also you can set external break-points for users in teh approval badi which would be executed if you you use the approval preview in SRM (I'm guessing it is SRM since it sounds like it)
Kind regards, Rob Dielemans

Extraction of Workflow Approver

Hello,
We need to extract information about who is the approver for a workflow object.
Any information you can provide will be appreciated.
Specifically, we need to determine who is designated to approve an SRM shopping cart. We've run SQL trace (ST05) when calling up the approver using the SRM web application, but the results are very difficult to understand -- probably because workflow is a generic process and used by a lot of SAP applications. Lack of a SAP-GUI front-end makes things a lot more difficult.
Hints very much welcome! Thanks.

What is order against workflow approval ?

what is order against workflow approval ?
How to configure ?
Thanking you.
Regards,
Subash

Hi there,
I am not sure if it is necessarily a bug, but its a matter of understanding all of the settings needed. I had the same problems for a while but after a fair bit of trial and error have found some workable settings.
It probably has more to do with the export settings rather than what viewer options have selected (I don't think that viewer settings affect your export).
What program are you using to export?
I am using compressor to export with aspect ration set to automatic 16:9. Then use DVDSP with the track set to 16:9 letterbox, it seems to export to DVD with the correct aspect ratio that way.
I am having trouble with the image strobing, looks like some kind of interlacing problem, but at least I have got it in the right aspect ratio.
Its typical video, solve one problem and it just creates another.
I am yet to find the absolute best workflow.
In response to Andy above, the original letterboxed footage probably did have something to do with the downconverting settings on the camera, as when I import without downconverting it does not letterbox. In the HDR-HC1 there is an option in the menu called "TV Type" with options of 4:3 or 16:9. I was reviewing my footage on a 4:3 television so I most likely had it set to 4:3 which created the letterboxing in the viewer when I then imported the footage.
Importing the footage in HDV solves the issue of aspect ratio, but creates a new problem with the image strobing.
I hope this was some kind of help to you.

- But i wanna knw from where the workitems .The table rows(records created) is accumulated ,,eg in tasks..
Is the data should (sample records /tasks)be populated in the backend itself or from the portal i can create.....
I dont have any ABAP knowledge to work at the Backend R/3,,how to fill it there
any other way which is available
I need sample tasks/records to be filled in the UWL iview under tasks.notifications etc how can i fill?
I request you to give me sample simple scenario with all the steps

Submitted form immediately redirects in workflow approval

I've created a form submission process following this description https://blogs.oracle.com/kyle/entry/adding_ucm_web_forms_to_site_s and associated the submission with a workflow
It works, the form gets into ucm and workflow is triggered. However, the confirmation page, what the "form" redirects to after submission shows right away after clicking on the link in the email approval message.
The service used is SUBMIT_HTML_FORM and the redirect is defined as
 var currentElement7 = document.createElement("input");
 currentElement7.setAttribute("type", "hidden");
 currentElement7.setAttribute("name", "RedirectUrl");
 currentElement7.setAttribute("value", "");
 aForm.appendChild(currentElement7);
Any ideas on how to prevent the redirect when the form shows for workflow approval ?
Thanks ...

Hello Laxman !
You have stated as follows :
When i assign method in task there is one tick mark to run in back ground that is in display mode
so not able to put in background.
The method you have created in SWO1 could be dialog one.That's why you aren't able to set as back ground in task.So, uncheck the "Dialog" check box under "General" tab.
Since you are unable to open the Adobe form , the problem could be with binding.Also make sure you pass all the required parameters.
Please go through the below URL which gives additional details about how to attach Adobe forms as an attachment to work item : http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/60ff6ad3-729b-2b10-6582-fedc82680a29
