Workflow issue in HCM Process and Forms

Hi,
I have created one workflow for HCM Process and form ( Termination) . In that workflow, there are Two levels. First and second level is approved by the respective managers. I am using the Standard TASK TS17900100 both levels having the Send, "BACK TO AUTHOR" option.
When I initiate the form it has generated the process reference number, it went to first level approval and the respective manger received work item in his UWL inbox in this stage I have checked in backend (PA20) infotypes( 0 & 1) are updating automatically and employee has been terminated without approval of work item.
I have checked in workflow log the work item has with first level manger only.
any one please help me on this.
Regards,
Srujan

Hi,
TS17900101 uses --> CL_HRASR00_WF_COMPONENTS / Method WI_EXECUTION_VIA_R3_INBOX.
In the text of the method you can read the following:
It is only allowed to trigger a WI via UWL which does not execute
that method which was customized at the corresponding task (so this
method). To ensure this if the WI was startet via R3 Inbox then
exactly this method is called to present an error.
So, are you approving from UWL or SBWP?

Workflow Errors in HCM Processes and Forms

Team,
we are facing one issue related to HCM Process and Forms. Recently we have upgraded our HR Package after which workflows used in HCM Forms stopped working though user who is initiating the process has SAP_ALL. We have noticed that workflow is throwing exception at the very first step i.e. PROCESS while importing data container.
What could be the reasons? Appreciate your replies
Thanks & Regards,
Jitesh Talreja

Thanks Arpit,
WF-BATCH already has SAP_ALL. Do we need to assign some additional roles or profiles to this user?
Log says error reading Process Object
Thanks,
Jitesh

Workflow could not start in HCM process and Forms

Hi All
It would be really helpful if you can suggest possible solution regarding case management case in HCM forms and process.
I have set up a simple custom HCM process and Form regarding Infotype 2 updation. I have checked the process and form consistency and it seems fine. Now when I run the process from HRASR_DT it generates a process number but it also gives an error workflow could not start.I get following error (SWIA log - Step history)
Executing flow work item - Transaction brackets of the workflow has been damaged
Exception occurred - Error when starting work item 000000007031
PROCESS_NODE - Error when processing node '0000000014' (ParForEach index 000000)

I have searched few SAP notes such as 1384961 which talks about same error but it is implemented in our system (EA-HR 604 , Patch 27, )
Appreciate any help.
Thanks

Hi Swati
One of the similar (not exact) issues were resolved by correcting the event linkage....please refer thread:
http://scn.sap.com/message/14848795#14848795
Not sure of the details of the the resolution, maybe Ragavendran Kanagaraj can throw more light.
Just some high level checks (if not done already):
Check event linkage errors in SWEQADM if anything is related to your WF
Check in SWEL if it's showing any more details (not sure if it will)
Any warnings in syntax check of WF template (PFTC) or WF definition (SWDD)
Any error sin binding

Process and Forms - Issue with Method which Uses Imported Form Values

We are doing a project to implement ESS and MSS. Using Adobe Process and Forms we generated a process with form and workflow.
The workflow's first step uses a version of TS17900110 task to move the form to the workflow container.
Binding:
export:
&FORM_STANDARD& @0E\QAssign Value@ @9T\QGets data for...@ &FORM&
'USER_ID' @0E\QAssign Value@ @9T\QGets data for...@ &FORM_FIELD_NAME_1&
'PERNR' @0E\QAssign Value@ @9T\QGets data for...@ &FORM_FIELD_NAME_2&
'AWART' @0E\QAssign Value@ @9T\QGets data for...@ &FORM_FIELD_NAME_3&
Binding
import:
&EMPL_USERID.OBJID& @9S\QReceives data from...@ @0D\QAssign Value@ &FORM_FIELD_VALUE_1&
&PERNR& @9S\QReceives data from...@ @0D\QAssign Value@ &FORM_FIELD_VALUE_2&
&AWART& @9S\QReceives data from...@ @0D\QAssign Value@ &FORM_FIELD_VALUE_3&
The workflow is bringing values for: EMPL_USERID, PERNR, AWART.
We need to write these field values to a table using a method. We are using a custom task to do this.
The task triggers a method which calls a FM which makes the update to the table.
The step with the custom task is a foreground step which the workflow stops for so we can test execute it.
When we execute there is a breakpoint in the ABAP code which stopps us at the point where the values are being read.
We are trying to read values: 'USER_ID', 'PERNR', and 'AWART' but the debugger is not showing any values being brought in.
The binding we currently have for the step we feel is the problem:
This is all we have in there so far - NEED suggestions/advice:
Binding export:
&ZABSREQ&     @0E\QAssign Value@     @9T\QGets data for...@     &_WI_OBJECT_ID&
(&ZABSREQ& - This is a BOR)
Any information is appreciated.

We were very anxious to solve this issue.
While I was posting my counterpart realized that we did not have target containers setup to receive the values from the workflow.
Once those were set the values were able to be read from the FM.
Here's the binding updated to:
&EMPL_NUM&     @0E\QAssign Value@     @9T\QGets data for...@     &EMPL_NUM&
&SUBTYPE&     @0E\QAssign Value@     @9T\QGets data for...@     &SUBTYPE&
Still gave you some points for helping - Thank you.

HCM Process and Forms - Changes to Form Issue

We have a scenario within HCM processes and forms where the changes being made by an intermediate approval step is not being sent to the next level approver. For example, in a pay change the initiating manager sends the pay change to his/her boss for approval, then once approved the form is sent to HR for final approval and update into R/3.
In this scenario the initiating manager starts the process and makes appropriate updates to the form (including comments). This then routes to that manager's manager for updates/approval. When processing the form, the approving manager can see the information input by the initiating manager. The approving manager then has the opportunity to make appropriate changes within the form and add comments before it is approved and sent to HR for final approval.
Once the approving manager makes changes and sends this to HR, when HR processes the form they see the changes as if it was sent by initiating manager (HR does not see the changes made by the approving manager).
I appreciate any insight you may have on this issue.
Regards,
Brad

Sounds like you process is designed incorrectly and your are having problems with your process object integrity. You need to be careful with loops/branches when designing your process. Are you doing it all in the same Form Scenario and just using multiple steps? The form scenario will "share" the "data" hence you can have issues. You can split it to a differnt form scenario and pass the data over from the other FS to your FS. Then you know you will have your own data there. I often see people trying to do their whole process within one form scenario and use multiple steps without realizing the data integrity issues with that.
Hope this helps.

HCM Process and Forms - Authorization issue

Hi Experts,
I have to developed one HCM process and forms for leave request. Workflow is assigned to the form. When I test the Process with in the R/3 using Txn 'HRASR_TEST_PROCESS' I got the Error, Work Item Not Found; Workflow Not Started" and "Process Object Not Created".
Then I tested the same Process with the user who is having SAP_ALL role and now the workflow is triggered and can able to see the work item in the portal UWL. With SAP_ALL everything was fine.
But my client will not give SAP_ALL role to all users. So I need to find, what are the roles and authorization objects need to execute the HCM process and forms.
I checked the Help documentation, and I found P_ASRCONT is needed for HCM forms and process. So I assigned to the user but still, the forms getting error.
Thanks,
Helps will be highly appreciated.

Thanks for your reply.
Transactions su53,st01 and st05 didn't help.
Any tables or specific transaction for HCM process and forms will be helpful.
Thanks.

HCM Process and Forms Position Change Workflow Rejection

Hi Experts,
I am new to HCM Process and Forms workflows and have a simple query here.
With the conventional workflows (PR/PO) when Approver Rejects a workitem we send a notifcation to the INITIATOR and when he changes the PO/PR the workflow gets triggered via CHANGED EVENT.
However, here in POSITION CHANGE workflow when an approver REJECTS it at any level HOW WILL I SEND BACK THE FORM TO INITIATOR SO THAT he does the suggested changes and submits for RE-APPROVAL.
Idea is to avoid the burden of filling all the fields everytime
Please guide me on this.
Thanks a lot
Rgds,
Lakshmi

Hi,
If a change method doesn't exist you can create a new one where you can use a Call Transaction sentence that redirects to a tcode where you can modify the form.

Regarding HCM Process and forms Workflow

Hello all,
I am working in HCM process and forms workflow. In that workflow, there are three levels. First and second level is approved by the respective managers. I am using the Standard TASK TS17900100 in the 3rd level. In which the final level has Send, withdraw, "BACK TO AUTHOR" option. When I click on Send button the PROCSTATE (workflow container element) status getting changed to Processed and the workflow getting Completed.
But when I click on "BACK TO AUTHOR" button the PROCSTATE status is not getting changed from "APPROVED" to "BACK"?
Any clue on this what could be error ?
Thanks & Regards,
Krishnan

Friends,
In the Workflow ,there is the binding for "Processor Role" between Workflow Container and Task Container. I removed this binding as it is not required. Now on click of "Back to Author" in the final stage the work item is moving to Inititor.
Thanks & Regards,
Krishnan

Hi,
I have designed a HCM process and workflow. In custom workflow ,WS17900260 (TS17900108) has been used to save data. In this step it is resulting in error and shows the below message in "Step History" tab. No message in Message Tab.

Hi Sri
Expecting a prompt answer in 2 hours time is a tad too demanding for all of us
We try to help you based on our experience and if we do not have it, we just wait for the right one to respond.
It is not that I have experience in HCM Processes and Forms, but a little bit of googling to help you gave me the following:
1) SAP Help for your task TS17900108 states that it has the same requirements for binding as that of task TS17900107 .... check the latter half of the page here:
https://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/42/f28f8a1e5132c3e10000000a1553f6/content.htm
2) If you check TS17900107 binding requirements, it needs certain necessary parameters which may be causing the issue. Check the mandatory requirements here:
https://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/42/f2cf2c249b3268e10000000a1553f6/content.htm
Also check for authorizations
3) See how another user solved the issue with the same method here:
http://scn.sap.com/thread/1753027
4) See the possible advice for a similar issue with task TS17900107 (which is kind of similar to your task)
Novice in HR forms and processes workflow - help in usage of TS17900110
I checked various threads and the common link is that it all depends on your system and the bindings or the custom functions called within. Also do check for authorizations as mentioned in the first link from Help.sap.com
I am sorry, I cannot give you further details because I myself do not have experience in HCM P&F. I am sure you too can google further from here, or we can be a little more patient for others to reply (I understand that some issues are critical and need immediate resolution, but we all are busy in our own projects and sometimes are not able to reply immediately).

Worklow in HCM process and Forms

Hi Gurus,
We have recently upgraded from HR SP level 14 to level 24. After the HRSP upgrade, we find that the workflows used in the HCM process and forms which were working fine earlier are not working now.
To trigger the workflow, I am using the class CL_HRASR00_WF_PROCESS_OBJECT and event TRIGGERED. First, we faced the problem in the standard task TS17900110,which imports the values from form to workflow container.After Implementing the SAP notes suggested by SAP,the workflow got triggered and the values got imported and it is working fine now.
Now we are facing the problem in the 2nd level,where the manager trying to 'Approve or Reject'.The information message is thrown in backend HRASR_DT as, "Work Item not found; check workflow Log".
Standard Task used in the 2nd level TS17900101 to approve/reject.
Can anyone suggest how to proceed on this issue ?

Paramasivan Krishnan

Hi Paramasivan Krishnan,
First, welcome you to SCN forum. However, I am afraid you posted on a wrong forum. Here is dedicate to SAP Business One. Not related to HCM.

ISR VS Processes and Forms

Hey guys, i have a few questions.. I have been developing an ISR for a little while now but i keep running into issues with the fact that it does not seem to be very complete compared to Processes and Forms. It also seems that nobody really knows ISR's that well so help is hard to find.
I.e. Processes and forms seems to have LOTS of default workflow tasks to do things like, edit forms, get data into workflow, Send the form back to the requester, etc.. but NONE of these exist for ISR's. Even the Back to Author functionality does not work correctly.
My build: an interactive form for Vendor Creation/Change/Block. It has a fairly detailed workflow that involves a few lvls of approvals and options to change or send the form back to the submitter.
So here is my question:
1) does anyone actually use ISR's?
2) Should i just drop building an ISR and move everything over to an HRASR?
3) Has anyone use HRASR's to implement NON Hr related stuff? i.e. using a generic service to do the updates?
-Jason

can you check the steps in note 1631412

Hi,
We are implementaing HCM processes and forms using NWBC (EHP7 - HR Renewal 2.0 FP1) and after using configuration of POWL inbox for MSS and HR Admin, We are not able to launch the Work Item.
1) In MSS Work Book, while launching, we are getting message -

2) For HR Admin, we are getting message - Work Item can only be open using Portal and UWL. and it is displaying back end transaction SWNWIEX.
Detail configuration steps are shown as below -

Use HCM processes and Forms without using the Enterprise Portal

is it possible to leverage existing HR Admin Services (HCM processes and Forms) functionality without using the Enterprise Portal?
1) Create an Adobe form and Interface using SFP
2) Set up ISR and Form Scenario
3) Set up Forms configuration to use existing Backend and generic Services
4) Set up workflow to updated Backend using Services
is it possible to do the above steps and not use the Portal? If Yes, how do we present the forms to the Manager, and provide different buttons that appears on the Portal by default?
Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Saurabh

Hi Saurabh,
your assumptions and findings (items can not be started from the backend workflow inbox etc.) are correct: These processes can not be started without the Portal and it is not intended to do this.
The above mentioned backend report are only forseen for implementation and testing purposes and not for productive use.
In addition to the fact, that you already can't execute the work items a lot of other features of the framework (Process Browser etc.) are only available through the Portal.

Error while Accessing the HCM process and forms

Hi All,
We have implemented HCm process and forms. Everything was working fine earlier but for past few days we are facing an issue after selecting an employee and clicks on the select process we are getting the following error. Kindly povide the solution.
The following error text was processed in the system GOA : Component Usage OADP_USAGE Does Not Have an Active Component
The error occurred on the application server sapgoa_GOA_37 and in the work process 4 .
The termination type was: RABAX_STATE
The ABAP call stack was:

Method: IFWDR_INTERNAL_API~GET_INTERFACE_CTLR_DELEGATE of program SAPLWDR_RG_PROXY_FACTORY
Thanks & Regards,
Sreelatha Gullapalli.

Hi,
In EhP4, the employee search is created using OADP framework . And if the relevant configuration is not maintained , I mean there is a view cluster where the applications (PA/PD) and relevant object types are maintained.
If this is not maintained, this creates a error. Please check .
Hope this helps.
