Workflow Assignment

Hi All,
I am a PP consultant and I have an issue related to workflow. its related to Engineering change management.
When a user re-assigns his work item to another user, it doesnt appear on the in business workpalce of the reciever. I want to know what could be the probable cause of the same.
Since i am not aware of Business Workflow, i would like to know where a user can see all the work items assigned to him(business workplace), or if there are transactions where it can be seen(all workflows assigned to user)
Thanks in Advance
Regards,
Rohit

Hi Nabheet,
That was a useful reply, I used swu_obuf but still it doesnt work.
Actually the workitem is visible in outbox (workflow) of the sender. it shows the recipent name in the assigned users and the his SBWP inbox icon, but it doesnt appear in his inbox.
I have found OSS note "sapnote_0001308276" which is very similar to the solution provided by you. I think it should work but i am not sure.
@ All : if some one has implemented with note pls let me know.
Thanks,
Rohit

  • How is workflow assigned to positions and particular company code / plants

    Hi Everyone,
    We have updated a system with a new company code and corresponding new plants for profit center update. Now, they want the workflow handling of INVOIC, DESADV and ORDRSP to still be maintained. There is an existing workflow for error handling on these messages for the  old company code and plants. The workflow items are sent to certain positions maintained in PPOM. Now, I am requested to create new positions that will receive the notifications for errors on incoming invoices, order responses and dispatch advices for the new company code/plants. Creating new positions and assigning agents to them is quite easy but my problem is where to specify the information about the company code and plants. For the existing positions, only the Basic data tab is maintained where only an abrreviation of the position and its definition need to be entered.
    Right now, the workflow items for the new company code and plants are directed to a position that already exists in PPOM before the project. So how can I have the workflow items be directed to a new position that I will create?
    I hope someone can provide an answer to this. Thanks!

    Hello
    Are the workflows custom or standard ones?
    You need to check the workflow definition as to how they are designed to get the Positions and then change accordingly. The email task may be assigned to positions directly, or there is some custom code or a Workflow Rule.....First get to the agent determination (by going to Workflow Definition) and then you may change the "logic" for positions.

  • Workflow assignment table dependent ?

    Hi,
    I have done two assignment in say Main Table and Lookup table(Table-1)
    Objective is to trigger first assignment based on Table-1
    Once this is complete bring this new number created in Table-1 to a main table field thru Assignment-2
    This two assignments are working fine independently.
    Challenge is to automate both of them in correct sequence thru Workflow.
    In first workflow not able to launch the second workflow thru(STOP , launch property).
    Is this because first work flow is based on Table-1 and second workflow is based on Main table ?
    Appreciate your valued input
    -reo

    Hi Reo,
    Yes,Any workflow is assigned against some selected records.
    If you are running the lookup assignment that is done by assigning a workflow for the lookup table record. At the end the second workflow cannont be triggerd for this selected record as its depends on the Maintable fields.
    But if you run the first agginment it will reflect in the maintable as well.
    Say u assign a value change for a display field in the lookup table.
    This will reflect back on the maintable records for which the lookup details are all ready selected..
    Get back for help,
    Vijay

  • MDM Workflow - Assign

    Hi all,
    I am trying to set up a workflow that automatically triggered when I update the main table. I have created an assignment to assign a static value to one of the text fields and inserted this assignment as an assign step within the workflow. (the assignment works fine when triggered manually)
    The workflow Max Record launch is set to 1 and the Max Time Launch is set to 0h.
    When I update a main record table, the workflow gets triggered but goes into status 'Error' at the assign step. I am able to manually 'Perform' the assignment and then forward it to the next step within the workflow.
    Do you know if this is because I was still locking the record when I was updating the record? I tried declaring the Start and Stop of the workflow with Check Out and Check In, but I am still receiving the same problem.
    What is the correct way to use an assignment within an MDM workflow?
    Are check-in/outs mandatory?
    Please help. Thanks in advance.

  • Workflows / Assignment Rules and Offline Version of On Demand

    Hi
    We are planning to use Offline On Demand for Fields Sales. We have created workflow and assignment rules based on opportunity fields. When field user syncs back with Online version, will this workflow and assignment rules get triggered and available in the offline version during next download.
    Sundar Raghavan

    Sundar, since the On Demand offline only uploads changes (either new or modified records) the online version will treat these changes as new or modified records and workflow and assignment rules should act on these records as if the changes were made in the UI. The next download should reflect these changes.

  • Overdue Email when using Workflow "Assign a task".

    The new "Assign a task" action in SharePoint 2013 Workflows contains an option (under Email Options) to "Send Task Overdue Email(s)". You can choose the Frequency and Recurrence of the Emails. I have this set for a particular workflow,
    but we aren't getting those Overdue EMAILS. (All the other EMAILS are working and I AM setting a "Due Date" on the task and the Task isn't marked as "Complete"....) I have read several articles on this subject and this
    article was the only one that seems to address this (new) feature. It says to check the "Expiration" Timer Job (to see how often it is scheduled to run). Well, I only have one "Expiration" Timer Job and it is called "Expiration
    Policy". I am pretty sure this isn't the right Job. Can anyone tell me what the name of the Job is that sends these Emails out?
    Also, what is the "best" way to send out daily emails (reminders) for Tasks that haven't been completed? Should I use "Information Management" and kick off a Workflow that sends the email? (Something similar to what
    this post suggests...) Or, should I create a Timer Job? I am certainly not opposed to writing code, but I would like to do this with OOB functionality if possible (and "practical").
    Any help is MUCH appreciated!!!
    Thanks,

  • Workflow - Assign serial tasks

    Hi,
    Perhaps I'm overthinking this or I just have got my brain in a knot, but I'm so confused.  What I want to do using Designer is set up a workflow that does this (at its most basic):
    InfoPath form is submitted
    1) Send a task to person A (listed on the form)
    2) When A is done, send a different task to B
    3) When B is done, send a different task to C
    (Etc.)  There are 6 individual tasks that make up this "project".  There maybe a document created, maybe not.
    I want to get a little fancier in that there are due dates and would need to set reminders but I'm struggling with task vs approval.  I created a task list and have the form adding a task to the list, but this isn't really getting me where I need to
    go with tracking what's done.
    Anything else that can get my head in the right place would be appreciated.

    Hi,
    According to your description, my understanding is that when a InfoPath form is submitted, you want to send tasks to A,B,C,D,E,F with serial (one at a time).
    For your issue, you can create a SharePoint Designer workflow with "start workflow automatically when an item is created". Then you can set approval task with Participants: A;B;C;D;E;F , Serial (one at a time). Also you can set Due Date for Task
    Process.
    For more information, please refer to these blogs:

  • Three State Workflow (assigned to field)

    I use the 3 State WF in a library. First and second task were assigned each to a person from 1 of 2 list fields of the library. But after first person completes the task and second task is created the person from second list field ist inserted in first
    list field. Why? It's a bug? Is there a workaround? (I don't have the possibility to use normal WFs, I can only use this WF)

    this is the first page of the WF settings (you ever saw this?)
    On the second page you can insert details for the first and second task, which the WF creates. There is a field 'Task Assigned To' which I filled with the content from a column of type 'person or group' of the library (Responsible Review). This one is for
    the first task, the other for the second is configured in the same way with an other 'person or group' column (Responsible Release).
    Before I start the WF, there are 2 different persons in the 2 columns, after completing the first task the WF creates the second task, and then (I can't see, is it after completing first task or after creating second task) field 'Responsible Review' in the
    library changed it's content to the content of column 'Responsible Release'

  • SharePoint 2013 Workflow - Assign a task overdue email CC

    In SharePoint designer the action of "Assign a task" has the option to send an overdue email, but the option itself does not have the property for CC in the email.
    My list has a people/group column for the Head of Department and I would like to CC them if the task is overdue.
    Any ideas on the easiest solution to add a CC for the overdue email?
    Michéle Johl

    Hello Michéle,
    you might need to use the Email action to have CC option. In the below steps, uncheck "Wait for Task completion" in the Assign a Task activity so that it will create a task and proceed further. In next step we will check for the task status and
    send emails everyday  or what ever the interval you want. Disadvantage with this is even if task get completed within a day, it might not proceed to next step.

  • Workflow completing but not assigning to it all agent (multi line agent)

    Hi,
      After reading all your posts as per my understanding.
    1. You said that you have a dialog work item inside a loop and this has to get approved by different people at each level and at each level there could be a possibility that there can be multiple agents. In your current case it is working fine for one single agent.
      First of all why are you trying to populate the agents in a separate multiline container element. Why am I saying this is because when workflow already provides the technique to handle this kind of situation  by creating RULES and assign it to the dialog work item to determine the agents . If you would have created a rule to determine the agents based on the each level irrespective of the number of agents determined by the rule the work item will be sent to all the respective agents inbox.
    So create a RULE in such a way that based on the loop iteration or level it should determine the agent and assign this rule to the dialog task.
    2.  If am not wrong you might be using some kind of dynpro application so that is the reason you are trying to complete the work item by making use of function module. Clear me that is the user completing the work item from SAP inbox or UWL. also clear that is the task is a decision task or simple foreground task.
    If the task is a decision task then make use of the function module SAP_WAPi_DECISION_COMPLETE. if the user is executing the work item from sap inbox then there is no necessary of completing the work item. system will take care of other things.
    3. Finally You say that the work item is still appearing in the executed users inbox.
    This could be possibly because of the way you are trying to complete the work item. So to overcome this error you need to redesign your workflow by adding RULE to the dialog task. Then you wont find any issues.
    Please do not populate all level agents at one go. determine agent at each iteration of the loop independently.
    Regards
    Pavan

  • Cannot send email using SharePoint designer 2013 workflow

    I am having a problem which I see many others have also posted about.  However, I don't find that any of their solutions fixes my problem.
    Using SharePoint 2013 on Windows 2008 R2 server.  SQL 2008 R2 on separate server.  Created a pretty simple workflow that calls for an email to be sent.  Created an Infopath form that is published to a SharePoint list.  One of the
    list fields is called "Approver" and is a people lookup field.  The workflow assigns an approver based on certain criteria in the list, and then sends an email to the assigned approver.
    During the testing phase of creating the workflow, I had the email sent to me specifically and I received the emails with no problems.  When I change the email recipient to Current Item:Approver (who is also me), I don't receive the email.  I have
    tried selecting Display Name, Email Address, and Login Name, but none work.  I also tried to send the email to the current item:creator (which was me) by selecting "User who created current item" from the select users dialog.  This also
    doesn't work.  The workflow is shown in a suspended state in the Workflow status screen.
    For informational purposes, I also included the Approver Display Name, the Approver Email Address and the Approver Login Name in the body of the email so that I could see what those fields actually returned as data.  The display name, and email address
    are correct, but the login name returned i:0#.w|domain\login (domain and login were my actual domain and login name).
    I have tried several of the fixes I found online to resolve this, but none have worked. Any help is appreciated.

    I don't see that it is possible to add CurrentItem:Creator to a list view.  The CurrentItem:CreatedBy returns my name as it should.  However, this does not help with my problem.  I don't want the email to come to me.  I want it to go
    to the CurrentItem:Approver.  This is a specific person who is assigned by the workflow based on various fields in the current item.  The approver is assigned, then an email is sent to the assigned person.
    There is a SharePoint group set up for Approvers.  This is used to assign permissions to the site where this list is created.
    Basically, I can't send an email to any recipient where I am using the current item lookup fields to populate the To: field.  I can only send email if I specifically select a person by name.

  • Workflow for Vendor Creation through a portal.

    Hi All Workflow Experts,
                                         I have a scenario here.In my project  vendor is created through a portal.On submit button from portal the workflow is to be triggered.I have to design the workflow process.So can you please guide me through what all should i consider while i design this workflow?
    This is my first workflow assignment so if you explain in detail it will be a great help.
    I will just pen down what all scenarios i can think of:
    1.Start workflow after vendor creation or modification.
    2.Check whether approver are maintained in Org structure through  standard FMu2019s.
    3.Check If approvers are maintained ?
    4.If yes,approve or reject the vendor.
    5.If no,get the agents from the custom table who can take an action on this.
    This is what i can think of.
    Please guide me.
    Thanks in Advance,
    Saket.

    The corresponding BO related with the vendor creation or changing is LFA1 but this Business object doeanot have any events that are related to Create and Change , so try to create a ZLFA1 and add you own events or make use of delegation concept where you will create a delegation for LFA1.
    For your first isssue
    Start workflow after vendor creation or modification
    EXIT_SAPMF02K_001 Vendors: User Exit for Checks prior to Saving is the user exit where in you can call the workflow when ever you change or create , because this user exit will trigger when ever you try to save the vendor. so i think you can make use of this user exit
    For your second Issue
    Check whether approver are maintained in Org structure through standard FMu2019s.
    Make use of SWI_GET_USERS_OF_ORG_UNIT this fucntion mdoule to get the user of the ORG unit
    or you can create a Rule(for determining the agents dynamically) to find the approvers.
