Workflow dynamic period?

hello all,
my problem: i have a workitem, sending email with a task to xyz. this workitem has a period, after this period a mail is send to the workflow initiator. up to now it´s sap standard.
now the user xyz fill a web form on the intranet side, and say: he can´t do this until the period from the workitem. he registers a new date.(we assume the date is ok for the workflow initiator in this example)
now my questions: can i take this new date and give it to the workitem as a period? is there a sap standard rfc or business object method for this? or the hard way and doing some hard upgrades in database tables?
what is with the monitoring job? takes this job the new or the old date?
any help would be great. thanks in advance!
daniel

i just found
function: sww_wi_deadlines_change.
i`ll give it a try.

How to get the End date of the dynamic period in Financial Reports

Dear All,
I have a issue with the Financial Report, I want to show the text under the Heading in the Balance Sheet like 31 DEC 2008 but in this date should be the end date of the dynamic period what user select in the POV.
Can any one have any idea about this.
Regards
rao.

There are 2 options:
1. Use the POVAlias text function:
e.g. <<POVAlias ("Grid1", DimName)>>
(you could also use POVMember if the items you want is the member and not the alias).
2. Have a hidden column on the report referencing the POV selection, then reference this in the header.

Query Designer - Dynamic periods

Dear BI EXPERTS,
I am new to BI and I have got a requirement to display a Query with dynamic periods on execution.
Requirement:
On Execution of Report, It asks for a Period from the user.
Suppose user gives 3 then it shows report as below
Char1 Char2 Period1 Period2 Period3
If user gives 5 then it shows report as below
Char1 Char2 Period1 Period2 Period3 Period4 Period5
Kindly let me know how it can be done(step-by-step) and if it solves my problem then i shall definitely assign FULL P O I N T S.
Regards

HI Sajid,
Let us assume that the info object for Period is ZPERIOD.
Now for the query Definition.
1.Drag Char1 into the Row Section of the Query.
2.Drag the the Key figure into the Column Section of the Query.
3. Drag the ZPERIOD object into the column section of the Query above the Keyfigure.
4. No go to the Filter Section and drag and Drop ZPERIOD into it.
5. Right Click and restrict the ZPERIOD with a Manual Input Optional variable. (if not available create one) with range Options as less than or equal to the variable name.
Now this way, when the user Inputs the period the report will show all months less than or equal to the user Input month.
If he does not enter anything it will show all values.
Hope this Helps.
Regards.
Shafi.

Initiating bpel workflows dynamically

I have two workflows. Workflow 1 should initiate Workflow 2. Currently I am creating a partner link in Workflow 1 and giving the WSDL location of Workflow 2 shown in BPEL console. This works fine in development environment. But its hard coded how to make it dynamic.
I want to make the refernce to the second workflow dynamic. How can this be done. Thank You

Planning layout with dynamic period colomns

Dear experts,
I would like to create a planning layout for cost center/ cost elements in which we have the different periods in the columns (1-12). This layout I could already create, but now the business asked to have the number of columns selected dynamically in the selection screen ( eg: I want to enter the data as of April till December).
The reason behind this is that the planning periods of Jan - Mar will be locked when we will enter the data from April to December. My first layout does not allow to enter any data if Jan - Mar is locked.
In other words, would it be possible to have the periods in the selection screen AND in the columns of your layout?
Thanks in advance,
Roeland
Eg:
In selection screen
Period from 3 - 5
Planning layout:
Cost center     cost element          Per 3     Per 4     Per 5
10000     40000001          1000     1200     1400
10000     40000002          2000     2200     2400

Hi,
This indeed describes the problem, but does not really provides an answer to the problem.
Thanks anyhow
I have found a solution to upload data via excel though:
If for example periods 1-4 are locked you should start your layout in excel as of period 5 but you should repeat period 12, five times (to get to 12 columns/periods). This way you will be able to process the file with a planning layout for a year where some periods are blocked)

Dynamic period columns in data forms?

Hi,
We are running HFM v11.1.1.3
I have some input data forms that shows some different periods and scenarios, however the periods sometimes needs to be changed, so I was wondering if anyone knows a way in doing this dynamic?
For January we would like it to be:
C1=S#Actual.Y#CUR.P#CUR
C2=S#Actual.Y#CUR.P#CUR-1
C3=S#FYE.Y#CUR.P#CUR
and in March it should be:
C1=S#Actual.Y#CUR.P#CUR
C2=S#Actual.Y#CUR.P#CUR-1
C3=S#FYE.Y#CUR.P#CUR
C4=S#FYE.Y#CUR.P#CUR-2
in June and September it should be
C1=S#Actual.Y#CUR.P#CUR
C2=S#Actual.Y#CUR.P#CUR-1
C3=S#FYE.Y#CUR.P#CUR
C4=S#FYE.Y#CUR.P#CUR-3
so basically this would require 3 different forms, and with linked forms as well it will be many forms. So if there could be build in some kind of if statement?
Thank you in advance
Best regards
Kenneth

Hi Kenneth,
Nobody is answering you because there is no way to do that with Data Forms.
If you are skilled with Excel, and if you understand the implications of going that path, you can create dynamic Excel grids that send data to HFM using HFM functions.
Depending on your needs and your budget, you can also create a custom web application that would replace data forms.
If you want to stick with data forms, then you will need to create 3 forms (+the linked forms you mentioned).
Not sure that helped...

Workflow - Dynamic agent assignment

Hello!
I am doing Workflow development. I have a question about Workflow Agent Assignment.
I want to assign multiple agents ( 1 or 2 or more agents and It's not static. Each agents have task that processing independent. and next task is started after end of all multiple tasks.).
But I can't dynamic assignment('Adhoc agent assignment' is not that.)
Can you help me?(Is this possible?)
Best Regards,
Juhyun

Hi
If I have understood you correctly, you have a multiline container element with a number of agents (type wfsyst-agent) - and now you would like to send a workitem to each agent - and not just one workitem to all of your agent.
To achieve this you need to define the task (or sub workflow) as a multiline element. T
his is done in task implementation in the workflow builder. Switch to the tab <b>Other</b>, in here you add your multiline container element containing.
When you now go back to agent assignment, you will find two container elements for your multiline element, use the one with [&_WF_PARFOREACH_INDEX&].
The result will be that exactly one workitem is created for each entry in your multiline container element.

TVARV - Dynamic Period and Year

Hi,
A standard FI report is executed weekly in batch job. The selection screen for the report has the following fields: Period and Year. We need the following:
1) A report variant that takes the current period and current year
2) A report variant that takes the previous period and current year
I know that it is possible to have dynamic dates (Current / date calculations), but is it possible with period and year as well ina variant?
What do the variables in TVARV table "SAP_SCMA_PERIOD" and "SAP_SCMA_FISC_YEAR" do?
Since this is a standard report, what could be the solution?
Awaiting response.

Hi Anuritha,
Did you able to solve this problem. Basically I am also in the same situation, so it would be great help if you suggest me what needs to be done exactely !
How did you manage the variants SAP_SCMA_FISC_YEAR & SAP_SCMA_PERIOD in TVARV table to work accordengly.
Looking forward for your reply.

How to handle WorkFlow Dynamically

Dear Experts,
I need to develop a workflow and the requirement for approval process is as follows:
1. We developed a custom web dynpro applicatiod, at the end when user creates a save button, it will display another pop up where he select a number(n) from popup window and provides the list of the users(n)
2. So, we need to develop a work flow with n-level approval based on the above application.
3. Another condition is when it goes for first level approval, if the user feels that some other user approval is required before his approval, then he will forward to another user. If second approver feels that some other approval is required he may forward to another one. Like this, it may traverse m-levels horizontally.
4. Once its approved by the mth user then it has to traverse back to the first user of the approval list.
5. Then it moves to the second user for approval. The second user cal approve it or he may forward it to another user.
So, finally there are n-levels of approvers in a workflow and for each step there would be a chance og m-level approvers.
Pls help me out and suggest a solution for this.
Best Regards,
Sravan

Hi,
This could be easily done with using a loops and conditions. Let's say that you have an approval application/step, and there you have outcomes for "forward" and "approve". If the user selects forward (and then selects a user), in the following loop step, you check if the user selected "forward" - then it will loop back to the approval step and use the selected user as an agent. Etc. It is really simple - just start building it and you will see how it can be done.
Just an example. Of course you could also check if you can use the standard forwarding functionality. SAP_WAPI_FORWARD_WORKITEM will do the trick.

BPEL Human Workflow - dynamic Outcomes

Hello All,
While designing human task, I can pretty much provide XPATH everywhere, but I couldn't provide xpath for outcomes.
Is it possible to provide dymanic outcomes?
- I am not sure how does Worklist App figures out set of outcomes, I didn't it as part of task input.
I appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Chintan

Alright, it is certainly getting interesting to me, and would really appreciate if somebody provide any insight to this issue.
- I saw that TaskLink input (initialTaskInput), does have property called parallelOutcomeCount in systemAttributes, which decides type of outcomes to worklist application.
q.1: Why I am not able to override this attribute (parallelOutcomeCount )? I tried to put my own value right before the INVOKE operation, still it didn't work, it got over-ridden by BPEL engine?
q.2: I don't see any ASSIGN activity to assign parallelOutcomeCount, I do see assign activity for assign system and payload activity generated during Human Workflow. How do they get set? Is there is any interceptor concept?
Really curious, because it there is any hidden way to set such variable, I would love to use such framework for many different purposes.
Thanks!
Chintan

MDM workflow - dynamic approver determination

Hallo,
in MDM workflow, i see that in the visio workflow definition of the approval step, it is possible to set approvers. This sound to me like a static approval definition.
Let say that according to some field value I want to determine different approvers, meaning if Product category is 1 approver is X, if Product category is 2 approver is Y, etc..
Is this possible to achieve?
How?
thank you in advance,
Regards,
Marco

Marco,
I am assuming you have 3 approvers X, Y and Z. Create 3 validations for all 3 cases:
Validation A: Category =1 => goes to approver X
Validation B: Category =2 => goes to approver Y
Validation C: Category =3 => goes to approver Z
Start -> Branch (Add validation A) -> Form 2 processes (1 which is TRUE goes to Approver X and for false it is either Y or Z)
            -> (TRUE) -> Approver (Assign X)
            -> (FALSE) -> Branch (Add Validation B) -> Form 2 processes (1 which is TRUE goes to Approver Y and for false it is Z)
            -> (TRUE) -> Approver (Assign Y)
            -> (FALSE) -> Approver (Assign Z if this the default approver else add one more iteration)
I hope this should work.
