Workflow for Sales Order Release via Status Profile

Dear all,
i want to make a workflow for sales order which have 4 User Status in One status profile.
Once Event triggered for sales order
1.   Mail should go to main authority with sales order number.
2. Once authority will do some changes in the required field then he/she changes
     the user status-1 from defauts as per line Item and mail should go to department no-1 (Head authority).
3. Once again same changes in sales order but now user status-2 from user status-1
     as per line Item and mail should go to department no-2 (Head authority).
4. Once again same changes in sales order but now user status-3 from user status-2
     as per line Item and mail should go to department no-3 (Head authority).
5. Once again same changes in sales order but now user status-4 from user status-3
     as per line Item and mail should go to department no-4 (Head authority) .
and parrally for each changes of Status mail should also go to User (Event Creator).
6. Finally mail sholud go to User as you are permitted to do next business transaction for this sales order
Please tel me the process as i am very new this topic and i am always going to stuck in Binding.
please help me out.
Thank You

Hi Neeraj,
First of all start with SWELS and SWEL T-Code to check if any standard event is getting triggered or not. If event is getting triggered, then use the same event to trigger the workflow; otherwise create a custom event of BO and use the same to trigger the workflow.
Hope you are aware of T-Code SWO1 and delegation of BO. The BO used for your requirement will be BUS2000115.
As you want the workflow to get triggered only for one status profile and one of its status, so use check function module. There set the condition for you status profile and status.
The FM which you will be using the most is CRM_ORDER_READ. To read the status, you can also use CRM_STATUS_READ_OW.
Now simply make the approval steps in the workflow using activity. In the activity, you can use the standard method USERSTATUSPOPUP to send the workitem for approval. In each step use the same activity with different agents as approvers.
Just go with these things and let me know if you get stuck up somewhere.

Guddan

SharePoint Online 2013 Workflows for one List stopped working after 07/08/2014

Our client host application in Office 365 SharePoint Online 2013, and we just found that all workflows for one list stopped working after 7, Aug 2014. It kept displaying pop-up message "Something went wrong. To try again, reload the page and then start
the workflow." when manually start a workflow for this List.
Tested workflow for other list, there's no problem.
Could anyone can help on this issue?

Specs and workflow for creating opening/closing titles for video

I'm trying to create specs/workflow for videos that I will be adding opening and closing titles to (black background with colored text), using QuickTime Player 7 (Pro).
The videos are .mov, AVC coding, 1280x720, millions, 30fps, a sample video had a data rate of 7,463 kbits/second.
I created 1280x720 300dpi (perhaps I should have used 72dpi?), saved as a .jpg (highest quality), then copied the .jpg contents into a QuickTime Player 7 (Pro) blank document multiple times until I had enough frames for my need. The resultant video was very large; 339,743 kbps/second. I then exported to H.264, which brings the data rate down to only 214 kbits/second (and looks fine) and then copied that into the head of my AVC coding video.
Questions:
1) When I exported to H.264, the x pixels increased by 6, to 1286. After pasting that video into the AVC coding (1280x720) video, the resultant movie is 1280x720. Did my graphic get compressed by 6 pixels horizontally?
2) Does my method of converting the huge graphic movie to H.264, and then pasting it into the AVC coding make sense? The combined video has AVC coding, according to Movie Inspector; does the H.264 of the graphic get converted automatically? Any better way to approach creating my titles?
Note: these AVC coding videos may get converted to H.264 for some use, but for now, I'm keeping the highest quality (source) video I have to work with.
Thanks,
Bob

"First, tell use why you're not using FCP's titling and keying capabilities."
I don't own FCP.
"Then, explain why you're doing it this way."
I'm able to create graphics with plenty of control in a graphics program (PhotoShop in this case).
"There is no dpi in video, there are only pixels."
Sorry, I posted my thread then realized I left out a bit of info, but couldn't edit the post. I should have written that I created my graphics file in PhotoShop, hence the dpi reference.
"A black background for text is not the same as using an alpha channel."
OK. The portion of my video with titling stands by itself; that is, I'm not overlaying titles on existing video. Is there a use for alpha channel if I'm working up standalone title video frames? Uses less data rate?
It seems from your inference I would be best served by purchasing FCP, so I'll probably take that advice and buy it.
From a general video production point of view, I'd still like to learn more about creating titles in a graphics app and bringing them into QT Player; what format to bring them in as (e.g., H.264 into an AVC coding video, as I've done, or ?), and what happens when my graphics video gets converted from 1280x720 to 1286x780 (AVC export to H.264), and then brought into an AVC codec movie, and the movie remains at 1280x720-- does the graphic get horizontally widened, or the vertical compressed? Thanks.

Std workflow for Parked Invoices?

hi guys
are there any std workflows for parked invoices? Our requirement is that once the Finance clerk creates a customer or vendor invoice he should only be able to park it and not post the invoice. Once the invoice is parked then the system should trigger a workflow and a notification neeeds to be sent to the approver to approve the invoice. Once it is done the finance clerk will post the invoice.
I switched on the event trace and did a trace on while creating a parked invoice. No event is triggered when the document is parked. If i post the document the event POSTED of object FIPP is triggerd. So since we dont have any std events raised when a document is parked is it possible to have a workflow?

Hi,
The event FIPP.CREATED is raise via the customizing (SPRO)
Financial Accounting -> Financial Accounting global setting -> document -> document parking -> create workflow variant for parking documents.
Assign co.code to a workflow variant for parking documents.
Have a look at ws10000051.

Ronit.

Workflow for PR release

Dear Experts,
We have implemented SAP standard workflow for PR item release i.e WS00000038, when I reject a PR notification is not sent to initiator.
If I see In SWEL - When a PR item is rejected system is picking up step "PR item significantly changed" instead of "Item release cancelled"
Request your suggestions in this regard.

Email Notifications through workflow for all Approved and Rejected Orders

hi,
i have to send Email Notifications through workflow for all Approved and Rejected Orders to the user who have submitted the order for approval.how could it be done.please send ur solutions.
regards
yesukannan

Hi,
An option would be use Oracle Alert. Create an event based alert on the table where you have order approvals or rejections. This alert will be raised after inserting or updating this table. Create an action linked to this alert, and choose message as action type.
This setup can be done under Alert Manager Responsibility.

How to schedule a workflow for recurring executions: The solution

Scheduling a workflow for recurring execution has been long awaited in WFA, perhaps from 2.0 time. The following document shows how to get it done. I've also explained the logic behind it. It’s very simple to use, meets every requirement which one can have from a scheduler and of course highly flexible. Let's go!! The Real stuff. What is this? Is this actually a scheduler? No. This is actually a command in your workflow, but a special 'magical' command. This 'magical' command logic is built using the answers for the following questions: Can a workflow be scheduled for a delayed execution in a future time? Yes, but only one execution instance. If you want the next execution, execute the workflow again providing the same set of inputs and the execution date/time.During workflow execution, can a command inside a workflow get to know what is the name of the workflow? YesDuring workflow execution, can the command know what is the job execution id? YesIs there any programmatic interface available to know what are the user input provided or a particular job execution? YesCan a command inside a workflow trigger another workflow? Yes.Can a command inside the same workflow trigger itself? Absolutely yes. I've ticked all boxes needed to build such a solution. The solution is to make the workflow a smart workflow, so smart that it can schedule itself for the next execution. It no longer needs any other task scheduler to tigger it. WFA provides a large set of REST APIs for other 3rd part SW integration. But I also can make good use of these APIs to make smart workflows. I have always believed that WFA should not only be seen as a framework for automating Storage boxes or server, but just about any task( inside a computer of course) which is done manually. WFA is an awesome product indeed. So this is a command called "Workflow Scheduler" which you can put in your workflow as another command. Prerequisites: You need PowerShell 3.0 on your WFA server. I certainly could have done it for PoSH2.0 as well, but life for web interfaces using PowerShell is so much easier with Posh3.0. Posh3.0 is a big jump from 2.0. WFA is fully supported to work on Posh3.0. Its available by default in Win2012, Win2008 can be upgraded, Win2003 users can't use it. Add credentials of a WFA Admin/Architect in you WFA itself with Name/IP: localhost Match: ExactType: OtherName/IP: localhostUsername: <WFA Admin/Architect Username>Password: <User Password> 3. Minimum WFA version 2.2. This is only needed for Importing the dar. I've provided the command code in text too. The command code is the real deal. How to use it? If you have a workflow which you want for recurring executions, just add this command "Workflow Scheduler" in it. The command takes parameters for the workflow execution intervals. For example minsInterval for executing this workflow every x minutes, or daysInterval for executing the workflow etc.Now just like a normal workflow execution execute this workflow deciding what is the trigger time. Example: Suppose you want the execution every day at 10:00 PM.So provide daysInterval = 1 And execute the workflow for a delayed execution at 10:00 PM. You can pick the day to start as you wish. The workflow will execute at 10:00 PM and when this execution reaches our magical command "workflow scheduler", this command will trigger the same workflow with same set of inputs for the next execution at 10:00 PM tomorrow. And so on an so forth. I’ve attached a very simple example workflow here to help you understand. An Example of a workflow scheduled for recurring execution Daily at 11:30 PM starting 10-March-2015 How to stop/suspend this recurring execution? Easy. You just abort the next scheduled job execution in Execution=> Execution Status. The cycle will stop. How to resume it? Easy again. Just resume the same aborted job. The cycle restarts. Can I change the schedule execution time? Yes. After aborting the current execution, you can resume the same workflow at a new time. Execution interval can't be modified as you can't change the command parameters. But the recurring execution now can occur at a new time. Where or which position to place this “workflow scheduler” command in your workflow? At the beginning ? At the end? Or somewhere in the middle. This completely depends on your choice. See some below cases. You don't want the next job execution scheduling to happen if any of the commands in my current workflow execution fails: Put command “workflow scheduler” in the end. It will trigger the schedule of the next job execution only when all real original commands of your workflow have passed. else not. You want continuous job executions irrespective of the workflow command failures: Put it in the beginning. It will trigger the schedule for next execution before any of the actual command begin executing. You want an approval before the next execution job is scheduled: Add an approval point before the comamnd. So it’s all left to you. Can an operator decide the execution schedule? Yes, but which workflows will be available to him/her for this recurring execution will have to be decided by the designer. This is a good thing to have as it serves for access control in a way. The Architect/Admin can now restrict which workflow can be put for recurring executions. Operators can’t execute just any workflow available to him for automatic recurring execution. And the workflow designer can also choose which scheduling parameter is to be made a variable for the operator. For example the designer want the operator to schedule a given workflow only for weeks Interval and not months or days i.e. he/she can only chose to schedule for weekly, biweekly etc. executions and nothing else. For this the designer can define a User-Input variable only for weeksInterval parameter. It’s Done. You want workflow execution to be scheduled either for daily or once in 2 days but not any other. You can restrict this. Or he/she wants to give full freedom to the operator make his/her own decision about scheduling, he defined user-input variable for all scheduling parameters. The workflow designer wants weekly schedule but the day should not be a weekday: You can even do this. Is this flexible enough for my requirements? I’ve attached the very command code. You can modify the command as per your requirements. Suppose you want daily execution of a certain workflow at 10:00 PM but skip a day of execution if the day is a Monday. Modify the code check for the day and add another day if it’s a Monday. Its posh code and highly readable. So you can see how this can be used in a variety of ways. This is the beauty of a programmatic solution. Its highly flexible, it allows users to design solution based on their requirements. Flexibility is the heart & soul of WFA. Thats why I like it. I have a workflow but I don't want to modify it by adding a new command in it. Can I still use this solution? Yes but with WFA 3.0 on wards. WFA3.0 allows to create modular workflows. Create a parent workflow with you actual workflow as a child workflow in it. Add our “workflow scheduler” command too. So now you don't need to touch your existing workflow. I've attached a workflow example here. Have fun!! sinhaa

Providing a new version 1.1.0 of the command "WFA Schedular" Changes made: Added conditional String Representation based on the Scheduling parameter provided. Provided check for the right number of parameters passed into the command.Added a new parameter "Expiry Date" to automatically stop the recurring execution upon expiry.Check for Posh3.0 version in code.Have Fun!! sinhaa Below example for:Schedule a workflow for recurring execution every alternate day i.e. once in 2 days at 10:30 PM starting 06-Jul-2015 (Today's date is 02-Jul-2015) . The recurring workflow execution should expire on 31-Dec-2015 and stop.

Hi,
Why do you want to trigger a wflow and what do you want to do with this trigger. Can you give more details of your exact requirements.
But, if you are looking for how to trigger, you can write a small ABAP pgm and schedule it as a job every night. THis job basically reads the table P1000-ENDDA for expiry date and if it reached today, then you can either trigger the wflow with SAP_WAPI_START_WORKFLOW or use SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT to raise your custom event(for Business Obj. BUS7018, i think this is your BO and there are no std events right now, so you will ahve to add your custom event by extending BUS7018 to ZBUS7018).
Hope I am clear and this helps and if you need more details, reply.

Start a workflow for a list item that was created by someone else

What settings do I need to change so that I can start a workflow for a list item created by another user?
I have a SharePoint 2013 workflow (let's call it LSR Status Workflow) that is associated with a list (called
LSR List). When a user creates an item in the LSR List, it automatically starts the
LSR Status Workflow. That is what I wanted, but sometimes I make changes to the workflow (via SharePoint designer) and then I would want to terminate the existing workflows that are running and restart them.
When I try to start a workflow for anyone other than a list item that I created, I get the following error:
Retrying last request. Next attempt scheduled in less than one minute. Details of last request: HTTP NotFound to https://publishing.web.company.com/sites/mysite/_vti_bin/client.svc/web/lists/getbyid(guid'1f844b8f-19aa-4587-bcc2-dfb7085f36b5')/Items(31)

Then when the workflow is finally suspended after it keeps retrying, it reports the following error:

You don't need to re-do the fields. If you create a new version of the PDF
file just open the old one and use the Replace Pages command to insert the
pages from the new version over the old ones. This will give you a new
version of the file, with the existing form fields still in tact. Of
course, you might need to adjust their location and/or size, but at least
you won't have to start all over again...

Regd Workflow for a new custom page

HI ,
We have created 2 pages for some functionality where in user can login n serach for a person and update certain attributes like his source/company, assignment category etc.
First page he can searach the person and after search results come in, he can click on a link and go to the next page where he can edit the attributes n submit.
Now after updating and submitting the page, we have a reqt to send notifications to the initiator in case the user has approved the txn or rejected or sent for correction. But we dont know how to achive it with the 2 pages n no workflow.
How to launch a workflow for this ?
or is there a way we can send notification from backend without using workflow n it shud still come in the worklist of a person.

A workflow for a new MM vendor invoice is started as it should.When we see the workflow overview it shows status u201CIn Processu201D.
f the workflow shows the status u201CIn Processu201D for an hour or more, a new undesired workflow (same WF-task) is started automatically for the same invoice. Nobody has triggered this new undesired workflow.

Workflow for blocked sales orders

HI all,
I have a requirement in sales in service order .
when a credit check is done for a customer ,sales order will get blocked and
in the service order for the corresponding sales order will get a status with Not OK. To release the block on this we need to manualy change the status in VKM3 and subsequently in service order (IW32).
My requirement is to do automatic change in the service order status when ever we do release the flag in VKM3.
I think with work flow we can achieve this.
Any standard functionality is supported using workflow for this requirement?
Please help me how to proceed.
Thank you all..

Hi Ravi,
Yes this is possible using workflow!
I just simulated your scenario and there are no events when you release the sales order but the other good news is that there is a change doucment that is written. The field CMGST in the table VBUK gets updated with the value D which is "released by credit representative". Using this you can configure your own event.
However to do this following are the steps you would have to follow:
1. Copy the business object BUS2032 to ZBUS2032 through transaction SWO1.
2. Add an event called as "Released" to this.
3. Generate this new copied version of the BO
4. Delegate the copied Business Object to BUS2032. You can do this in the initial screen of SWO1 by going to the menu "Settings->Delegate". This is the inverse of inheritance through which you will be adding the properties of the subtype(ZBUS2032) to the main type(BUS2032) at runtime
5. Use transaction SWED and SWEC to configure your own event and raise it when the change document is written. Do remember that you will have to put an entry in the "Field restrictions" table in the transaction SWEC to trigger your own event when the Sales Order is released.
6. In transaction SWEC you can put in the change document object as "VERKBELEG" derived from CDHDR table. The business object as BUS2032 and the new event you created in the subtype. Since you have delegated the same it will be available for use for the main type.
7. In the field restrictions put in the table as VBUK and the field CMGST and the old value is * and the new value as D.
8. Once you do this the event will be raised once you release the sales order.
9. You can check the same through the event trace SWEL(Remember to swtich on the event trace through SWELS if it is off)
10. Now you will have to write a function module to change the status of the service order using the OBJNR of the service order and table JEST or use the standard function module STATUS_CHANGE_EXTERN. <b><b>Please remember that you can change a User status because system statuses are changed by the system. However you can change the system status by updating the table but I guess that is not like how the system changes it. When the system itself changes the status then there might be certain follow on documents that are created.</b></b>
12. Now you will have to encaspulate this FM in a method of the business object.
13. You will have to use the ZBUS2032 to add your own method which calls this function module. Hope you have the reference to the service order from the sales order.
14. Now have a task or a workflow which has a single step which inturn calls this method and trigger the workflow or the task using the event.
That might solve the problem you have
Best regards,
Sudhi
