Workflow from idoc

hi experts,
My scenario is , whenever any idoc arrived to my system it should start a workflow where it have to check the message type of the incoming idoc. Based upon the types say orders or invoice it have to send a workitem which displays the idoc to the corresponding sales or purchase organization. I what to capture the idoc number and display it whenever a new inbound idoc is created. Kindly tell me whether i have to use change document method or any other way also the BO.
With regards
Arjun

Hi Arjun,
This can be easily configured in EDI. WE42 - Inbound processing. You can create your own process code based on processing by task. Link it to a task based on your idoc-related object's display method (e.g. IDOCORDERS.DISPLAY) or create your own task if necessary. Oh, and please ALWAYS mention your version when asking questions.
Hope that helps,
Mike

What triggers workflows execution from IDocs

I have set up a process that triggrs workflows from IDocs by setting the Process code to 'Process by task'.
In some cases, when the workflow falls over, it would be easier to create a new workflow rather than fix the old (the workflow has checks in so that it will not create duplicate documents at any point).
I would like to write a restart report that allows an IDoc to be reprocessed using a new workflow, but I don't see how it is triggered; it is not via an event because the workflow does not have a triggereing event.
Can somebody tell me what the function module is that triggers the workflow, or if it is a report program?
Kind regards,
Tony.

Found it: it is IDOC_START_INBOUND.
Bit of a giveaway really.

Transfer of Results from IDOC to Inspection Lot

Hello experts,
Following scenario:
Inbound IDOC (QCERT) from vendor with inspection results is supposed to populate the inspection lot, which is being created at GR for PO.
QM in procurement is active and QM control key and ceritificate type populated in material master record. We also activated workflow, which is supposed to execute the transfer from IDOC to the inspection lot automatically as soon as inspection lot gets status CROK.
This works only under certain circumstances in the following order:
1. Inbound IDOC received
2. Q-certificate created automatically from IDOC with intial status "2 - Certificate received"
2. GR posting for PO
3. Manual setting of status "5 - Certificate filed and inspected"
4. Inspection lots receives status CROK and the results are being transferred to the inspection lot
This is okay as a start, but not ideal. We would like to have the following behaviour:
1. Automatic setting of status "CROK" for inspection lot in order to transfer the results as soon as certificate and inspection lot are available.
2. If the IDOC is being received after GR for PO, there is no connection in the Q-certificate to the inspection lot, i.e. the transfer of results will never take place, but it should.
Can anybody help and knows, if this is feasible in SAP standard?
Many thanks!
Martin

With IDOC Type Quality01 there is no reference to inspection lot, but in IDOC type Quality02 there is
a inspection lot reference in segment E1EDLIN-E1CCI01, you will have to find out the logic to auto
populate the lot # , please consult developer if its possible
Thanks

Field Value not passed from IDOC (orders01) to File Generated

Hi All,
I have added a custom field to a PO at item level (ekpo-Ztest)and Passing it to OUTBOUND IDOC.
In process of passing to IDOC(ORDERS01) i mapped the field to segment E2EDP19001-MFRPN and i see the value in the IDOC when i view it in WE02.
The problem is when i generate a file i don't see the value of E2EDP19001-MFRPN
We are already using QUALF,IDTNR,KTEXT of E2EDP19001 and i see all the values of these fields being passed from IDOC to file generated .
Let me know as i'm missing anything in here
I quick note ,
I see 3 version for E2EDP19 Segment for orders01
Vesrion
002     E2EDP19002                             8     242     02/14/2005
001     E2EDP19001     40A                    5     160     08/19/1997
000     E2EDP19             30A                     3     108     04/03/1995
1)The version 000 and 001 are released but not 002 Version
2)May be i 'm using version 000 and its out put length is only 108 and these fields(QUALF,IDTNR,KTEXT) together occupy 108 and there is no room for my new field but My IDOC dispalys E2EDP19001 and E2EDP19002 and also it displays my new field but its the output file generated that doesn't show the value

Issue Transporting Business workflow from one System to Another

Hi All,
As there are many limitations in Import/Export of Workflow I'm going for a Transport of Workflow from one sytem to another.
There are some query's reagrding transporting of the Business Workflow through Transport Request.
1)   How can get the Transport Request no. of the Workflow to be transported? (As there are no direct versions displayed from menu).
2)   If there are any dependent objects first how to find the dependent objects lof workflow like if any data element, Domain, Table, Structure (if these objects are used in your WF definition or may be BOR method), Function module, function group BOR, Rule, WF template, task and Task assignment ?
3) How to get Transport Request no. of such dependent objects specifically The Task,Rule , WF template etc.?
4) I have object Type ZBUS2081 related to it how can i get its TR ?
Please describe as I'm new to workflow.
Please identify if there can be some issues after transporting workflow .
Regards,
Ujjwal

Hi Ujjwal,
Please find the below hint's.
1. Regarding the objects included in the Transport request check the Tables - E070*.
2. For dependent objects, you should check the workflow template. You have to check all the Task's and in the task go to
   utilities ---> Object directory entry --> Lock overview . Here you can see the request. It will show you the current request for    the Task.
3. To get the TR for Business object, Go to basic data ---> Transport data --> Here you can see the Request ID for the business object.
Thanks,
Viji.

You can also run "bde_wf_item.sql" script.
Note: 187071.1 - bde_wf_item.sql - Runtime Data of a Single Workflow Item
https://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/ml2_documents.showDocument?p_database_id=NOT&p_id=187071.1

Starting Workflow from Generic Object Services

Hi All.
We are on ECC6. In transaction MM02 when I excute 'Start Workflow' from Generic Object Services, no workflows are found. Can anyone help me with the following issues;
1. What is the underlying object in transaction MM02 (I believe it is BUS1001006)
2. How can i ensure that the proper workflows in this transcation are started through some
customisation, enhencement or user-exit.
Regards.

I think you have to maintain the Workflow Template as General Task and then only it will appear in the GOS.
Thanks

Call workflow from ABAP program

created a zbusiness object (ZPRODH)with
one key field product hierarchy,
one attribute level number and
one method display.
I tested that zobject and using this object created workflow to display product hierarchy ,it is displaying it. now I have to call it from one abap program.
In the abap program I am calling the funcion module, I
CALL FUNCTION 'SWW_WI_START_SIMPLE'
EXPORTING
TASK = TASK
IMPORTING
WI_ID = WI_ID
TABLES
AGENTS = AGENTS
WI_CONTAINER = WI_CONTAINER.
It is calling the workflow and subrc is 0, but not passing the value to the workflow. Because of that the method is not working, any idea?
Thanks in advance

ttpa,
Please check this thread:
Re: Workflow from abap program
Also check that your Fm do requires any explicit commit or not?
Hope it will help u

Advanced mapping from IDOC to SOAP with reversed 3 level context change

Hi everyone.
I am having a though time mapping the HRMD_A01 IDOC into a SOAP message. The reason is that the reciever expects an xml structure where the root node is cost center instead of employee which is the case in the IDOC.
Mapping from:
IDOC (1..1)
   E1PLOGI (1..unb)
     SEGMENT (String)
     OBJID (String)
     E1PITYP (1..unb)
       E1P0001 (1..unb)
         SEGMENT (String)
         KOSTL (String)
To this structure:
List (1..1)
CostCenters (1..unb)
    KOSTL (String)   ----> Mapped against KOSTL above
    Employees (1..unb)
      OBJID (String)   ----> Mapped against OBJID above
I expect several occurances of E1PLOGI which states multiple employees sent in the IDOC. I also expect several occurences of E1P0001 containing cost centers.
My conclusion is that I need an advanced mapping and I have created one which collects all KOSTL for the IDOC context, deletes duplicates, and creates the CostCenters segment. This is now working. But my problem is that I can't create the employees segment in the right place. They are only created once under the first CostCenters node.
Here's the java-code for mapping between KOSTL and CostCenters/KOSTL:
public void costCenters(String[] var1, ResultList result, Container container) throws StreamTransformationException{
Set set = new HashSet(Arrays.asList(var1));
String[] array2 = (String[])(set.toArray(new String[set.size()]));
Arrays.sort(array2);
for (int i = 0; i < array2.length; i++) {
    result.addValue(array2<i>);
Any ideas on how to proceed?
Best Regards

Hi,
Do the mapping like below.
UDF should be select as context.
List (1..1)
CostCenters (1..unb)
    KOSTL (String)   ----> Mapped against KOSTL above
    Employees (1..unb)
      OBJID (String)   ----> Mapped against OBJID above
Mapping:
KOSTL(RightSelectChange the context to E1PITYP)--UDF--Removecontext--CostCenters
KOSTL(RightSelectChange the context to E1PITYP)--UDF--SplitbyValue(Each Value)--KOSTL
constant---Employees
OBJID----------------------------------------------Use One As Many---SplitByValue (EachValue)----------OBJID
KOSTL(RightSelectChange the context to E1PITYP)--UDF---
KOSTL(RightSelectChange the context to E1PITYP)--UDF---

While Mapping from Idoc to Oracle Structure

Hi Guys,
while we From IDOC to Oracle..
when we follow the store procedure method to update the data in oracle.
statement
tablename
action
table
access
Field1
Field2
Key
Field1
field2
Here where should we need to map the from soucre Structure to Target structure..
what i mean should i need to map in the fields under access or Key..
can some help me in these
Regard's
raj

OK, you are using Stored Procedures right ? Then your action will be inside the stored procedure.. Not in the xml data/message type..
It is like calling a function from the program. When you call a function from a program, you just pass the values right ? and logic to insert/update/delete is written inside the function right ? similarly here you need to do the same. In this case, XI is calling stored Procedures with all the input values from the idoc ( i.e mapping) and the attribute value is "EXECUTE" not INSERT/UPDATE etc..
That's the reason , I told, ignore current structure and just go thru the blog once, without considering current structure.. Then you can find the exact answer..

Moorthy

Setting Workflow status not working in imported workflow from SPD to Visual Studio

Hi all,
I have created SPD workflow and imported in visual studio. When I deploy imported Workflow using visual studio feature I found that Setting Workflow Status action is not working. Do I need to change Set Workflow status activity in Visual studio to make it
work.
Rohit Pasrija

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that Setting Workflow status did not work in imported workflow from SharePoint Designer to Visual Studio.
I try to reproduce the issue and the result is the same as yours.
After I import the workflow, choose the .xoml file, the view is as below:
To troubleshooting the issue, I add a new item to the project and select “Sequential Workflow” in the template.
After I click the Tool, I find that there don’t have the “SetCustomWorkflowStatus1” activity.
To set the status of the state, we need to use the “Set State” Activity in the “SharePoint Workflow” toolbar.
That is the reason why the “SetCustomWorkflowStatus1” activity does no work.
More information:
Apply Custom Values to Visual Studio Workflow Statuses

HOW TO TRIGGER AN WORKFLOW FROM A PROGRAM ?

HELLO THERE ,
CAN ANYBODY PLZ TELL ME HOW TO TRIGGER AN WORKFLOW FROM AN PROGRAM AND TO PAS THE VALUE TO THE CONTAINER ?

Hello Neon,
If you want to trigger the workflow directly, use the FM, SWU_START_WORKFLOW
CALL FUNCTION 'SWU_START_WORKFLOW'
EXPORTING
    task                  =
*   LANGUAGE              = SY-LANGU
    user                  =
*   SENDER_ID             =
* IMPORTING
*   RETURN_CODE           =
*   WORKITEM_ID           =
tables
*   CONTAINER             =
*   MESSAGE_LINES         =
    attachment_list       =
A workflow can also be triggered by and event which is in turn triggered by a program.
By the FM, SWE_CREATE_EVENT
Example:
w_key = 'Connie'.
w_creator-otype = 'US'.
w_creator-objid = 'SAPDEV02'.
CALL FUNCTION 'SWE_EVENT_CREATE'
    EXPORTING
      objtype                       = 'YH_BUDDIES'
      objkey                        = w_key
      event                         = 'event'
     creator                        = w_creator
*     TAKE_WORKITEM_REQUESTER       = ' '
*     START_WITH_DELAY              = ' '
*     START_RECFB_SYNCHRON          = ' '
*     NO_COMMIT_FOR_QUEUE           = ' '

*     IDENT                         =
*   IMPORTING
*     EVENT_ID                      =
*   TABLES
*     EVENT_CONTAINER               =
   EXCEPTIONS
     objtype_not_found              = 1
