Workflow doubt.

Hi,
I have created a Business Object with one method which has a result parameter. And I wrote the necessary Business logic in that method populating that Result Variable. This is working fine when I test the BO in BOR.
But when I attached it to a task I am unable to get Result Parameter value to the workflow? Why is it so?
I have done the necessary BINDING's. Infact I am confident with Bindings.(I mapped the WIRESULT from Task Container to my Workflow Container Variable also).
Is there any thing that I miss for Result Parameters?
Regards,
Raja Sekhar.

Hi,
Check The following:
Synchronous and Result parameter attributes for the method are checked.
Result type is defined. For instance I used Reference table = SYST, Reference field = SUBRC. The WF container element to receive the result is defined with the same reference.
The code in method is something like below:
BEGIN_METHOD UPDATE2 CHANGING CONTAINER.
DATA:
UPDATE2 TYPE SYST-SUBRC.
Your logic.
update2 = 16.
SWC_SET_ELEMENT CONTAINER RESULT UPDATE2.
END_METHOD.
AND Lastly the Binding in WF is from Task to WF.

Ramki Maley.

Workflow - Header vs. Item level

Hello,
I am looking for some documentation / list of pros and cons of implementing header level workflow vs. item level. I understand that item level is more difficult to implement, but what are the benefits.
We are looking at two types of approval, financial approval and commodity based approval and I would like to understand more before making a decision.
Many thanks,
AR

Hi,
For your requirement,you can go for N step HEader level SC Approval Workflow.I have worked on a similar reqt and the agent determintation can be made flexible based on runtime values thorugh the BADi BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI.
Advantages of header level WF is that its very flexible.Disadvantage is that some techincal problems require application of OSS notes e.g graphical Preview inconsistent.
I have not worked on Item level WF so cant comment on that.For more info ,pls refer the foll links:

Regarding Approver agent determination

Hi,
 I am new to SRM and i have a requirement to change the Workflow which is trigerred whenever a shopping cart is created and mail is sent to the approver for approval of the same.
 Here on creation of shopping cart i need to do some changes while determining the approver and i dont know exactly in where is this approver determined. Business object BUS2121 has been customised.
 Can any one please let me know the place exactly where this Approver Agent is determined, i need the method and the business object.
Regards,
Ravi G

Hi,
Whcih Workflow are you using for the Shopping cart approval?Based on the workflow used,teh agent determination varies e.g. for the Std 1step ,2 step approval workflow,agent assignement is done at the task level but for N step approval workflow the agent determination is done thorugh the BADI "BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI".
See teh foll link for more details:

Re: Triggering an alert
Depending on the Approval Workflow, you are using, there are Binding Events under the Triggering Events tab of the Workflow inside the Workflow Builder (Transactions - SWDM / PFTC ).
There the event can be defined, depending on the Business Object Type methods avaiable in SWO1 Transaction for BUS2121 in our case. (SAVED => Reqt cov. request Shop. cart created )
Refer to this link for more details.

One doubt on CRM Workflow.

Hi All,
I have a clarification to be made.
Below are some requirements from a CRM project. Now we are planning to train some one to handle this part and essentialy his role is on Workflow. Now my doubt is whether this person should take CRM training or workflow training? One thing to note here is that the person does not have any CRM background also. So my question is whether this person needs to take Workflow training or CRM training( I am not sure whether CRM training has workflow in it) or something else(meaning first CRM and then Workflow, since the project is on CRM)?
The requirements are in bold.
1. Ability to define a Customer Program, including, but not limited to:
will adhere to role based security
informational program characteristics
program eligibility rules
technical prerequisites (e.g. equipment)
program specific options (e.g. bill protection)
enrollment related work flow steps and prerequisites
funding accounts
Comments : Standard SAP functionality. May need workflow
2.Ability to automatically enable or disable program functions.
Comments : Workflow or Actions can be used.
3.Ability to generate automated notifications/ticklers when program steps need to be taken.
Comments : Workflow or Actions can be defined to trigger Notification on certain events.
4. Notify appropriate Program Manager if measure factors or incentive rates are changed.
Comments : Need workflow or Actions to trigger this.
5. Associate the completed audits to actual programs and when applicable tie to a programs workflow requirements.
Comments : Link is Standard SAP Functionality and needs to define workflow.
6. Ability to generate customer communications based on triggers such as; dates, changes to customer information, work flow steps, etc.
Comments : Needs to develop workflow or actions to trigger Notifications on pre-defined rules.
7. Based on program, allow for multiple incentives or timed incentives based on workflow process completion steps.
Comments : Need to be configured in Rebate Processing

Thank you,

Hi,
The steps which u have done al are correct
Find the information below for BWA1,BWA5 and BWA7
BWA1:
1.BW adapter which will give you meta data information and if you want to chnage any settings relatede to mapping or if you want add any BDOC mapping you can do by using this Tcode
2. We c an copy BW adapter data source and we can create custom BW adapter data data source by using copy function
3. We can change the selection conditions for the data source
4. we can bdoc mapping information under mapping tab,if you want to add any new field to map with new bdoc segment ,we have to map here;for ex if you want to extract Extractnal reference number from 0CRM_SRV_PROCESS_H data source
we have to follow below steps
1.enhance Extract structure
2.Add bdoc mapping in BWA1 with perticular BDOC segment for example Sales bdoc segment mapped with Extractnal reference number
3.Add code in Mapping module of data sourc eto fetch data or write code in Badi CRM_BWA_MFLOW to fetch data for newly added fields
BWA5:it will show all activated BW adapter data source information under ACTIVE tab
BWA7: it will have all BW adapter delta enabled data source information,if your data source is not available under BWA7 ,that means you didnt enable delta for the same (not intialized )
Table information:
SMOXAFLD: Field List: Key Attributes for BWA Master Data Delta Queue
for example : DISTR_CHAN, PRODUCT_GUID, SALES_ORG are key fields for data source 0CRM_PRODSL_ATTR
SMOXRELP:BWA: Use of Segments and Fields in DataSources
BDOC segment mapping information fro the data source (which u have used in BWA1 under mapping tab)
SMOXRELP_S: Shadow Table for Table smoxrelp
which will give information about BW selection whether we can use this field for BW selection for data loading iof its marked for selection u can see in rsa3 selections.

Doubt in Workflows using Programming Exits on OO ABAP

I have a doubt on workflows:-
Let me brief you about my requirement:
I am trying to update some Master data using ABAP Methods through Programming Exits in a Workflow.
I managed to find an OO method that can fetch the workflow container values directly into the structure.
While testing the workflow:-
The OO ABAP method executes and successfully updates the master tables.
However, a calling method (that triggers this method indirectly), raises an exception called SWF_RUN_WIM_EXEC_INTERRUPTED.
The exception is caught within the caller method and the workflow errors saying that the method ABC cannot be executed.
The caller method is:-
CL_SWF_RUN_WORKFLOW_START
The exception is raised on execution of the following statement:-
CALL METHOD me->start_workitem( lh_wi_handle ).
One reason for this is that the workflow is still not completed and still in READY state.
Alternative method
Once the Master data is updated successfully,
I tried to use the FM SAP_WAPI_WORKITEM_COMPLETE to end the work item or tried another FM to suspend the workflow.
Now it gives an error saying that these FMs are restricted from use during run-time execution.
Query
Do you have an idea why the exception is raised and how to track/prevent the same?
Can you suggest any other alternative? Your valuable advice is urgently needed.
Thanks a million in advance,
Best Regards,
Vinod

Doubts in workflow steps

Hai,
I want to use a local workflow in exsisting scenario with minor modification.
My doubt is In one step(change basic material data field in basic data2 in material master material) i send it one user(user1) with previous step results and he should change the data in specified field and it has deadline monitor.
if the work item has reached deadline i again send it to new user(user2), at the same time i should get who missed deadline detail and should deativate the unexecuted workitem(user1's inbox)
and send mail to the new user(user2) with details of previous step results.
workflow like this:
               previous step
               send mail to responsible agent
               send change material work item
               the change is not finished again
                start with sendmail to responisble user
                step and execution continue
how to do this.
please suggest me.
thanks,
Elamaran.

Hi,
For your scenario the workflow design should look something like this,
Note:
In the workflow container create a variable with length 1.
Make sure that you pass this variable to all the activities in the workflow. That is from Workflow -->Task.
Step 1: send mail to responsible agent
Step 2: send change material work item
Step 3: The change is not finished again and if changes are successfully done set the variable created in the workflow container as "X" otherwise "SPACE".
Step 4: Here create a loop until operation step, this activity should check the value of variable created in the container. If it is X come out or send the mail again.
Design:
======
ACTIVITY LOOP OPERATION
   Step/Activity 1
   Step/Activity 2
   Step/Activity 3
CHECK the variabl value set in step 3.
Depending up on the variable teh control is transferred to Step/Activity 1.
Mail me if you are not clear. Because some parts of Workflow cannot be explained without the screen shots.
You give your mail ID will send a document on Workflow.

Doubt in Solution Manager Workflow

Hi all
I have created one workflow for support disk. I used BUS2000116 business object. Before that i created Z business object for BUS2000116. Bcos i need to include events and methods (Customization). So i created ZB2000116. After that i selected delegate.
My doubt is when i creating workflow (in Task) in SWDD, which business object i can use ZB2000116 or BUS2000116..
Can i use BUS2000116 ?

Hi,
I always use the standard object. So if SAP changes any method or attribute I will have the latest version, and I don't have to do these changes myself.
Because you delegated the subtype you can use the standard object.

Doubt in PR, PO release authorizations and in workflow

hi all,
I have a doubt in release authorizations in PR, PO. I have designed the workflow and it is working fine for PR, PO release. The corresponding persons getting work item in their inbox.
But in the standard transaction code ME29n, the other users also getting the PR for release and it is getting released. How to avoid that?.
I have a scenario such that the corresponding persons in a particular department, only have to release their PR and POs, not the others.
Thanks in advance!!!

Hi- This can be solved by giving authorisations to the correponding approvers. SAP delivered standard authorisation objects for this purpose ( i dont have system now to give details). You need to talk to basis and they will solve this

Doubt in std workflow WS20000104

Hi Experts,
I have the scenario like when ever the staus change in document, the mail should go to SAP Inbox. Business object is DRAW - Changed.
Actually its a support project and I checked in workflow template. But there is no step type or code to send a mail to iniatior. But it sends mails for some departments and didn't send mail for some departments.
I checked in workflow log. Some successfull workitems called the std WS20000104 and failured work items didnt called this standard workflow.
I dont know the use of this workflow. I checked in SAP help but it wont help. This workflow used BO BUS1082. I just want to know about the workflow. Is it used for sending mails to distribution list?
If anybody worked on this means, please help me.
Thanks in Advance,
Helps will be Appreciated.

Hi,
These are some features of WS2000014:
- Distribution order being initiated or restarted.
- Distribution order Id determined when order is initiated.
- Subsequent check possible to determine whether you really want distribution
to take place.
- Partial orders are grouped together in a package that
is created for each recipient and communication type.
- A sub-workflow is started for each package that the SAP mail
to be sent is generated in and the physical distribution
is started in.
- After all packages have been successfully sent, the main
Workflow is terminated.
