Workflow not working in Background Processing

Hi All,
I am relatively new to Workflow. Currently, I am creating Deliveries (preferably in background) once a Sales Order is created. I am using an ABAP Class as the object method to submit the sales order number to the delivery processing method (which just submits basic information to standard SAP transaction VL04). I found that if the execution of the delivery creation task is not in Background Processing (the user manually kicks off the Delivery creation in SBWP) the workflow works as expected and creates the deliveries. However, if the Background Processing is checked, the workflow does not process and does not create a delivery. Is there any specific reason as to why the workflow will not work in background?
Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
John

Hi,
John
See to process a Back ground task, there should be a proper parameter flow.
Please look at the import parameters in the method you are using to process the back ground task..
If proper import parameters are passed then the task will work
This should help..
Thanks,
Shanky

Release Invoice - Workflow not working in Background - Need Help

Business Object : BUS2081.
The Requirement is : We need to release an Incomming Invoice.
For this we are using a FM : bapi_incominginvoice_release
and for Database updation : bapi_transaction_commit
Now we are setting the workflow in foreground and so a workitem is created in Inbox, when we execute that workitem, the Invoice is getting released.
But our client wants the release of the Invoice in background with our user intervention.
Now, when we r trying in background, commit is not working.
If we remove commit, Status is successful, but the Invoice is not getting released.
Please help me out on this issue. Its a imp req.
Thanks and Regards
Sowjanya Meegada.

Hi sowjanya,
I think you must have created the custom method to release the invoice, if not please create a custom method and write a zfunction module as below :
ZBAPI_INCOMINGINVOICE RELEASE( Inside this FM just call the standard FM)
BAPI_INCOMINGINVOICE RELEASE
COMMIT WORK.
ENDFUNCTION.
Then use the above FM to release the invoice.
It will work.
Thanks and Regards,
Swaminathan

Submit Code not working in Background processing

Hi All,
I have a requirement to create delieveries based on the Sales Order through transaction VL04 (RV50SBT1). Essentially, the program takes selected sales orders, determines the shipping point and creates deliveries immediately. I believe that the code below is correct as it works when my program is run in the foreground; however, when I run my program in background, SM37 gives an error "Fill in all required entry fields." The only mandatory field in VL04 is the Shipping Point (VSTEL) which is being successfully populated.
SUBMIT rv50sbt1 AND RETURN
                  WITH vstel = ls_vbap-vstel
                  WITH s_ledat BETWEEN '20091231' AND '99991231'
                  WITH samml = 'X'
                  WITH anzei = ' '.
Similar code to this is working in other custom developments that I have done; however, those programs only submit to programs without mandatory fields. Am I doing something wrong? Is it not possible to use the Submit command if a field is mandatory in the program you are submitting to? Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
John

Hi Guys,
Yes, I am certain VSTEL is populated. I created a very simple program to ensure that the values would be there and it still didn't work in background. In this case, I pass one sales order that I know has a shipping point (in my case the VSTEL is populated with US01) via a parameter. In debugging, I found that the value is correctly passed.
Here is the test program I created.
data: ls_vbap type vbap.
PARAMETERS: pa_vbeln TYPE vbeln.
SELECT SINGLE * INTO ls_vbap FROM vbap
    WHERE vbeln = pa_vbeln.
SUBMIT rv50sbt1 AND RETURN
                  WITH vstel = ls_vbap-vstel
                  WITH s_ledat BETWEEN '20091231' AND '99991231'
                  WITH samml = 'X'
                  WITH anzei = ' '.

HI,
COR6N is the Enjoy Transaction and sap does not suggest to write the BDC on these transaction as most of these transaction uses the GUI elements foe better display and which cannot be recorded while processing the BDC in back ground.
Check for the Normal transaction and write the BDC for it.
Or
Pass X to Rcommit flag in the CTU_PARAMS option and check.

Hi,
List_to_memory inturn calls Save_list FM and if u see the documention of this FM it is not suitable for background processing.
SAVE_LIST is noto suitable for saving lists produced during background processing.
So do it by other ways.

SUBMIT does not work in background...

Hi guys,
We have a copy program of a standard transaction and once we use this copy program in the main program via SUBMIT... it does not work in background...
Why is this so,,, Please advice...
THanks!

Hi,
When executing some program using the statement like SUBMIT prog_2 WITH parameters and RETURN.
In foreground PROG_2 is executed, and once you click on the BACK button the code written after this SUBMIT statement will be executed.
If you are executing the same in the BACKGROUND mode, no feasibility of clicking on BACK button, hence control will remain in the PROG_2 only after executing its logic.
Please code accordingly.

Customer Workflows Not Working from SRM Inbox

Hi everyone,
We are upgrdaing our EBP v3.5 system to SRM 5.0 (SRM SERVER 5.5 SP 5).
We are using integrated ITS and have many bespoke workflows which need to executeable in the SRM inbox via the integrated ITS and ultimately the portal (EP 7.0).
We have various issues with our bespoke workflows not working. The 2 errors we have found are:
1. When the users click on the workitem from the SRM inbox they sometimes see 'Service Cannot be Reached' error.
2. Other times they see the workitem details with no user decision buttons shown.
3. Other times the user decision buttons are shown but if the user clicks on one, they see a blank page with text "workitem currently locked by user WF_BATCH" at the top. This is an 'advance with dialog' task which works fine via SAPGUI.
Any ideas on any of the specific issues, or anything which we need to do generally to get custom workitems to be executeable via the ITS?
Thanks a lot,
Nick

Hi abhijit,
I checked that but I set it to blank in debug mode..but its still disappearing...the button disappears after pressing enter on error message.
actually the BADI when I implemented there is one method where I set E_ADD_ON_ACTIVE flag to 'X' to bring that button(recommended by SAP). that method is not getting called...
