Hi,
In the <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/fd/517b42303e0e53e10000000a155106/frameset.htm">SAPHelp</a> and the <a href="https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/HOME/SAPBusinessWorkflow+FAQ">WIKI</a> you can find a lot of info and all kinds of info you need.
To find workflows you can check transaction PFTC select Workflow Templates and in Task use F4 and the structure search to find relevant templates.

Hello,
I would say that the best way to learn something - start doing something. Firstly
download SDK and recheck samples. After that try to develop something with your own.

How to implement this scenerio in the workflow - More details given Inside?

We are implementing a simple PO release workflow in ECC 5.0. The workflow just has a decision step and a release step. We have implemented the workflow in our system and it seems to be working fine.
Problem Statement:
The client has many Purchase Order Administrators or Purchasing clerks who needs to approve the PO. But the client does not have many user logins or license to have more users in SAP. So they are checking if it is possible to have the workflow in SAP but to execute the workflow from outside SAP by using one user login.
To be more specific, Here is what they are asking.
1). They want that SAP must send a work item to their lotus notes inbox with a URL link in the email.
2). The user will open the email from Lotus notes and then click on the URL link which might be something similar to the decision work item. The user will select YES or NO which is similar to clicking approve or reject
3). Once the user has made a decision by clicking on the URL in the email they want that the PO should be released in SAP with a common user ID say WF-BATCH.
4). We cannot use Extended notification as we would like to have only one user WF-BATCH for approval but send emails to all the Purchasing clerks. I believe that the extended notifications can only send emails to the id configured in the user master. Since the client wants to have only one user in SAP but many PO approvers outside SAP.
My questions:
1). Can we configure extended notifications in workflow such that the system sends emails to different purchasing clerks in their lotus notes inbox? If yes then how can I configure that?
2). If it is not possible then how do we achieve the requirement from outside SAP but still have the workflow?
3). If we need to implement some external bespoke solutions then what all things would be involved? Any guidance on how this scenario can be achieved and what issues we may have?
4). How can we trigger a workitem from outside SAP but still make it work as if it would have been triggered from SAP. Can we call some RFC FM to trigger the workitem and force a single user id?
Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance.
any idea guys?

Well, apart from the obvious licensing issues which you should definitely discuss with your account manager, that's going to fail any audit. The 'signature' on the approval is the user's login, so if approvals are done by a common userid you will need to put a new authentication mechanism in place.
The two major issues are:
Forwarding - how do you control someone forwarding it to someone else to approve?
Traceability - how can you prove who really approved it?
This is not a small project. Much of this depends on your internal infrastructure, you will need to get Basis, Security, Networks, and Mail people involved, we cannot really help you much at this point.
Sorry it's not the answer you want to hear.
Good luck,

How to solve this "Prefix number: entry missing for system EC5 client 800"

Hi,
I am workflow learner, I am having theoretical knowledge on it.
Now, I started to practice practically in my IDES server.
I am getting an error message while I am trying to save my standard task with my object type and method and event (which were already created in SWO1).
My error message details.....
Prefix number: entry missing for system EC5 client 800
Message no. 5W023
Diagnosis
Tasks, rules, and workflow definitions require an ID that is unique throughout all systems and clients. In this way, you can ensure that you can transport these objects from one system into another at any time (without restrictions). From a technical point of view, the uniqueness of the ID is ensured by what is known as a "prefix number". You can define a separate prefix number for every system and every client in table T78NR.
System response
If a prefix number is not defined in the client in which you are currently working, it is not possible to maintain (maintenance terminates).
Even I tried to create on entry in the table T78NR, but as that is standard table, I am unable to make an entry.
Hope we have to configure the workflow, I am not having any Basis consultant with me. Can anyone help to cross this problem.
Thanks and Regards,
Surender Batlanki.

Unable to login to IDES system after client copy

Hi guys
the IDES system which i was using was working fine. I was trying CLient copy today morning and was trying to create a new client in the IDES system.
The client copy failed due to a shortdump in the process.
Now i am unable to login to the client 800 as it says the user password is incorrect.
How do i get back my 800 client? is there a way to get back the client 800 or do i have any other optionn to re-set the password without logging on to the client?
i do have access to client 000.
please guide me what should i do? i need the client 800 back and should be able to login too.

hi,
i cannot login to client 800. I need to login first in the client 800 to go to su01 to re-set the password.
I want to login to client 800 which i am unable to do as a result of client copy. So the other option i am looking at is reset the password from client 000.
anyways thanks for your inputs

<form action="path-to-script-on-server/form-to-email-script.php">
If your host doesn't provide scripts, ask them which server-side languages you can use (php, asp, asp.net, perl, coldfusion, etc...). This will narrow your search for form-to-email processing scripts.
Also, your form SUBMIT button is not properly coded. It should look something like this.
<input type="submit" name="send" id="send" value="Submit">
RESET buttons aren't used much anymore because they lead to more form submission failures than successes. You don't need it.

Is it possible to use BAPI-ALE to send an idoc using the message control?

Hi Guys
Is it possible to use BAPi-ALE to send an IDOC using a message control?
I have configured the system to send an IDOC when a outbound delivery is saved in the system.
I have done the following.
1). I am using the std BAPI-ALE interface provided by the object type LIKP.
2). I am using the method SAVEREPLICA for which an interface already exists in BDBG transaction.
3). I hace created a distribution model in BD64 and added the BAPI - LIKP and SAVEREPLICA
4). Created a partner profile ( using the generate partner profile option in the BD64 transaction )
QUESTION:
1). How do i associate the custom OUTPUT type created for Delivery ?
2). I tried to associate the custom output type in the Partner profile definition under the message control tab but i am not sure which Process code to be used? Since the partner profile was generated automatically from BD64 it has an entry for SHP_OBDLV_SAVE_REPLICA as a message type in the outbound parameters. and i am unable to find a process code for this Message type in WE41. So what process code should i use in the Message control tab against the custom output type?
3). Do i need to leave the message control tab empty without making any entry? If yes then how would the system come to know that it needs to trigger this partner profile when the custom output type is proposed by the system?
will award points for useful answers

How to enable IDOC serialization at message type level

Hi,
I am trying to enable IDOC serialization at message type and i am unable to achieve the desired results.
SETTINGS DONE:
I have done the settings required under SALE trsanaction
ALE IMG (transaction SALE)
   Model and Implement Business Processes
      Configure Master Data Distribution
          Set-Up Data for Sending and Receiving Serialization
              Serialization by Message Type
I have done the settings in both the receiving system and the sending system.
PROBLEM:
I am trying to send the Material classification first and then followed by Material class and then try to send the material itself to the other system. Since the serialization is enabled in the system, i was expecting that there should not be any errors.
But since the material classification IDOC is posted first it throws an error saying the Material Class does not exists. Since the serialization is enabled in the system i was expecting that the system would ensure that it post the Matrial class first and then post the material classification. I mean it would post in the order in which i have defined in the serialization.
Settings at Partner Profile.
    - I have set the trigger in background for all the message types except the SERDAT message type which is set trigger immediately.
Any idea what i am missing? Any suggestions on what needs to be done to ensure that the idoc is posted in serialization?

Burned DVD to folder but no files were created

(Windows 7 64-bit) I completed a project and attempted to burn a disc (DVD) to folder. All appeared normal during the compilation, etc, took a normal 15 minutes or so, Premiere Elements said it was done, but there were no files in the designated folder. Quit & re-started Premiere Elements & tried again, same result. Looked back through the 12 discs I've created recently & discovered one of those also empty. Haven't re-installed Premiere Elements yet, that will be my next step. Has anyone else had this problem, or does anyone have suggestions for trouble-shooting?

I deleted the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file, which didn't help. Then, deleted the entire 12.0 folder, again didn't help. In the process, I noted something that seems strange; perhaps a byproduct of having deleted the entire folder. Under C:\Users\Bob\AppData\Roaming\Adobe are a Premiere Elements folder and a Premiere Elements 12.0 folder. Both have sub-folders named 12.0. The Premiere Elements 12.0\12.0 folder contains only a folder named "logs", which is dated today but is empty, and a "Trace Database.txt" file. The Premiere Elements\12.0 folder contains subfolders "Layouts, logs, OLS, SC", and 14 files of several types, include the new Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file that was presumably (re)generated after my deletion of the predecessor on my last attempt to burn to a folder.
Some answers to some of your previous questions:
1. My Adobe Premiere Elements Preview Files folder contains 26 files totalling 17.8 GB (this on a disk with 902 GB free space)
2. The specific DVD folder under Previews that I'm having trouble with is empty, but so are about half the other 12 folders that all (except one) seem to have worked. I get the impression that these Previews are created only when I deliberately force a manual rendering, which I don't always do.
3. My Media Cache Files folder contains 236 files totalling 774 MB (on the same drive with 902 GB free).
4. The Edit\Preferences\Media dialog is pointed to another folder on that same 902 GB-free drive & I think the settings are all Adobe default: 5.00 GB Cache size, all boxes checked. The resulting Media Cache folder contains 132 files at 97.7 kB, the Thumbnail Cache folder has 1 file of 31.4 MB.
5. I don't know what you mean by "pile-ups"; please explain.
6. Under Libraries\Documents I don't have an Adobe folder; just three locked out from me (My Music, My Pictures, My Video) & two others that wouldn't appear to be related to Premiere. Another level down under Libraries\Documents is Desktop which does have an Adobe Premiere Elements 12 folder, under that PRE 12 and ReadMe folders. In the PRE 12 folder are 6 folders & 59 files. The files are all dated 9/24/2013 & the folders yesterday; I'm guessing that this stuff all is related to yesterday's (re)installation.
Any further ideas will be gratefully accepted. In the meantime, I think I'll start a new project & see if it burns a disc. The presently-troublesome one was started several weeks ago, then set aside while I did other stuff, & when I came back I went through a "workflow learning curve" again (at my age, this happens) & may have screwed something up that Premiere can't deal with.

How to forward the workitem to next level on Missed Deadline?

I have enabled Latest End Deadline on a particular task. The requirement is to forward the workitem to the next level approver once the dead line is missed.
I have tried to use Workflow Wizard Modeled deadline monitoring. It creates few additional steps but it just sets the workflow to obselete. I need to forward the workitem to next level. What needs to be done after the above step so that the work item is sent to the next level.

Hi Workflow learner,
I am also learning workflows and I have been asked to create a workflow deadline which will escalate the workitem to the next level approver once the deadline is missed.
I too created a deadline using the workflow wizard. Next I created a step in the obsolete outcome identical to the main step.
In this step do I user the rule 168? And how does the workflow look for the superior of the manger who has missed the deadline and not the workflow initiator.
Thanks

External Learning Workflow Issue

Hi Friends,
I am trying to have approvals for External Tranings. For this I changed the "HR_APPROVAL_REQ_FLAG" to Yes. I am now able to go to the Next Page, wcich is the Review Page. However we are not using AME and when defining the function parameters we have the ame attributes that are being passed. There are a couple of issues here
1> When I intiate a new transaction to add External Learning for the users, no workflow is generated
2> I want to modify the workflow in such a way that the approvals should be custom generated. I will generate these approvals and design the workflow. But where do we start in the workflow.
Can someone please help. We are on R12.1.3
Thanks
Edited by: user9197772 on Jan 17, 2013 2:27 AM

Hi Friends,
My apologies. The workflow has kicked off and it took a while for that to happen. I just needed to have a little bit of patience. I can work on this now. The thread can be closed now.

I want to learn about workflow any one can provide the guidence for me

i want to learn about workflow any one can provide the guidance for me

SAP Business Workflow can be used to define business processes that are not yet mapped in the R/3 System. These may be simple release or approval procedures, or more complex business processes such as creating a material master and the associated coordination of the departments involved. SAP Business Workflow is particularly suitable for situations in which work processes have to be run through repeatedly, or situations in which the business process requires the involvement of a large number of agents in a specific sequence.
Features
SAP Business Workflow provides a number of tools for defining and analyzing workflows as well as for monitoring operation.
The Workflow Builder is for displaying and making changes to workflows. You can make small extensions directly to the original workflows supplied by SAP, such as carrying out your own agent assignments or changing deadline monitoring.
There are several Workflow Wizards to support you in the definition of workflows, with which you can create specific parts of a workflow. The Workflow Wizard Explorer gives you an overview of the existing Workflow Wizards.
In order to make the functions of the R/3 Systems available to a workflow, you use business objects, which you can define and analyze in the Business Object Builder. These business objects are made available to the workflow in reusable tasks. The Business Wizard Explorer gives you an overview of all existing tasks.
You can also use SAP Business Workflow to respond to errors and exceptions in other, existing business processes. You can start a workflow when predefined events occur, for example an event can be triggered if particular errors are found during an automatic check.

Practice ( learn ) workflow at office on my system?

Hi Workflow masters,
this is the first time am ENTERING into WORLD of WORKFLOW...where i have been looking for.
i am a ABAP programmer where i have been doing it for 5years am ABAP CIRTIFIED...and now i want to LEARN : WF.
at my office we have workflow...and my query is...
can i practice the workflow on it...if i do will i cause any problems to it?
i went through your forums and i have enough INFO to learn WF - self ....but once i start will i be causing any problems?
i have a linke which is : Workflows for Dummies - Introduction(Part I) & (partII) if i follow this will it cause any problems?
can i have some info with regards to it...
i am going through a SAP METERIAL which is : BIT601.
I hope this is the right material to start...looking forward to your replies...
thank you,
pasala.

Hi,
You are on the right track. There are lots of tutorials in SDN & Internet - just spend some time on searching them. BIT601 is also fine for learning, but I think that you cannot do all the exercises since the require some custom objects, which you won't have in your system.
You will not break anything, if you don't modify the existing workflows. So just create new workflows from scratch, or copy the existing ones and modify the copies - the same rules apply as for example as with any ABAP object. => Do not modify anything, unless you are sure what you are doing.
Regards,
Karri
