WORKFLOW Overview

Hello Everybody,
My question is about workflow.
I need to manage automatically the correspondence between people.
Letters, Document to validate, document to be signed, document to check which are managed manually today.
The actual scenario is :
I need to validate a document, I print it, I send it manually, The manager signs it, I Re-scanned it and I send it by email.
So, I would like to know what can I do in order to manage automatically this process. People are talking about Workflow.
At your kind attention. Thank you.

ADA 508 Compliance Workflow Overview (tab key for navigation / WebAim Toolbar)

Hi,
I've been assigned to update interactive training for a State agency..... with of course, an emphasis on ADA / 508 compliance.
So, before I pinpoint my two questions/scenarios, here is a basic, initial attempt at providing an overview of ADA compliance workflow in Captivate and beyond.
PS - useful Captivate forum urls are at the end of this post. I'm using Captivate v.6
ADA Compliance Workflow Overview:
1. All assets need an alt tag and conceivably a description > highlight the asset, like a pic, and click the Accessibility button under Properties.
2. Create slide notes for each slide > load slide, highlight no assets and click the Accessibility tab under Properties. Copy and paste your notes > for screen readers.
3. Need closed captioning for video/audio content > I use Camtasia for CC and will use the JW player for screen reader of video content.
4. Interactivity needs to be accessible via the tab and enter keys.
What else am I missing?
Question 1
My question targets how to get the enter key to initiate after a successful tab. To be clearer.... I hit tab and I can navigate through all the buttons in the correct order, but hitting enter provides no action. I am gettining the yellow highlights around buttons when I tab through. Everything works very well when using the mouse, but blind users don't use mice.
I did create my own animation buttons in Flash and imported them in as animations. I then placed a Click Box behind the button animation to engage the rollover action. Could this be causing problems? The prebuilt (and clunky looking) buttons on the quizzes do work (ie) tabbing to them and hitting enter provides effective navigation.
I'm opting not to use the playback control skin, only my Flash nav bar.
Question 2 (Scenario 2)
I have downloaded the WebAim Toolbar feature designed for FireFox, used to check ADA compliance issues.
I am getting this error message:
A frame does not have a title attribute or value. Okay... I bet I can fix this via the .html file or via the standard.js file??
and these warnings:
Alert: Javascript in head - A javascript element is present in the page head section.
Alert: Flash - A Flash object is present.
Does anyone know if these alerts are worth fixing?
Obviously Captivate is going to pump out, or rather publish... javascript elements, but is this bad in the page head section?
And..... of course a Flash object is present...Captivate produces Flash / Shockwave files.
I'll obviously ask the programmers at WebAim for guidance as well. As always any help would be appreciated and Tanks in advance.

Hi,
Attached is my zipped project file. I did create my own buttons in Flash - this might be the problem. I have only been problem solving with navigation on the first four slides.
To clarify, hitting the Enter key does engage navigation, however I’m having difficulty controlling the navigation so that it goes to the correct location.
I’m using Captivate v.6 / publishing SCORM 1.2 / Using IE to deliver via the SyberWorks LMS.
Here is question 1:

Attachment and workflow overview - GOS

Hello All,
I have a new custom BO. No delegation to another object.
And new applications using this BO.
I want to include the "Generic Object Services" -> Workflow Overview & attachment
and display this on the transaction just like VA0x to display the WF.
I need a starting point!
I have document Generic Object Services (BC-SRV-GBT).
Not sure how to add this functionality.
Please help asap.
Thanks & Regards,
Sangeeta

Hello Sangeeta,
I am too facing the same kind of issue.
I developed a workflow and linked the BO ZBUS2081. This is sub type of standard BO BUS2081. I am using the custom event INVOICEBLOCKED to trigger the workflow. The workflow is triggered propely when the invoce is created (with block) thru MIRO and I can see the workflow in SWEL or SWI6 or SWI14.
But, the workflow is not listed in the services for objects button of the invoice display using MIR4.
If I use the standard event 'BLOCKEDQUANT' as starting event, the workflow is triggered and I can view it in services for object.
In the table SWW_WI2OBJ has all entries about the workflow triggered using standard event or custom event.
How can I make the services for object in invoice list my workflow that was triggered using custom evet?
I tried this solution but, still not working.
Can you please tell me what needs to be done to make this working?

Generic Object Servises- Workflow overview

Hi,
In Me53n transacrion, when I am selecting the Workflow-> workflow overview from Generic Object Services(this icon appears in the left where 'Display Purchase Req. XXXXX' appears ).
I get a message saying "There are no workflows that have already worked with this object", even though the workflow has trigged and work item has been created in SAP Business Work Place for the PR. Please let me know what is to be done so that it shows the workflow log for the object.
Regard,
Shweta

Hi,
This feature is working if the worflow has trigged from BUS2105-RELEASESTEPCREATED, but not working if the worflow is trigged from ZBUS2105-ZCHANGE(ZBUS2105 is subtype and zchange is custome event ).
I have created an entry for this Subtype ZBUS2105 and custom event ZCHANGE SWEC transaction so that the worflow will trigger when PR is saved after being held. I have also set the "Delegate" for ZBUS2105 in transaction SW01 to BUS2105 . This is working fine, but the problem is if the workflow trigger by this custom event then GOS->Workflow->Workflow Overview does not show this workflow item in the overview.
Please tell me what is to be done...

BAPI or function for FB03 workflow overview

Hi community.
First of all, I'm not pretty sure if that's the right section, so sorry if not... >_<
Regarding my issue, I'm looking for a BAPI (if it exists) to get the same data as menu > Workflow >workflow overview in FB03 transaction. If a Bapi does not exists, is there any other way to get this data?
Thanks a lot for any help you can provide.
Regards,
C.

Hi Chaiphon.
Thanks for your answer.
I'm interested on getting the workflow's history (with all the agents, the tasks and so on).
Using a trace with st05, I checked the tables where I can get the data, but I was hoping that there was an existing function or BAPI that can do this... Or part of it. So that I won't have to do specific development for this (I'm trying to use as many standard functions as possible).
Hope this helps.

C.

Cannot view workflow log via Services for Object Workflow Overview

We recently had an upgrade of R3/ECC and discovered a new issue. For some reason we can no longer view workflow log via Services for Object > Workflow Overview for Material Master (transaction MM03). We get the message "There are no workflows that have already worked with this object". However, we have confirmed via SWEL and other t-codes that the workflow and log do exist. This seems to be the only object we have this issue for after the upgrade.
Anyone know what issue is and how to fix?   Or at least path to config in SPRO for "generic object services" where we can see if anything changed via upgrade for this object?
Thanks,
Matt
Edited by: Matthew Huth on Apr 22, 2008 9:23 PM

Found the solution. See OSS note 553246. This has been tested and works for us.   -Matt
Note 553246
Summary
Symptom
In the material master, the system no longer displays the attachments for the material or workflow items in the Generic Object Services.
Other terms
MM01, MM02, MM03
Reason and Prerequisites
As of Release 4.6B, business object BUS1001006 is valid for the material master. Until you have implemented Note 452424, the Generic Object Services is still published for the old BUS1001 business object. After implementing the note, all attachments, relationships, notes and workflow items that are assigned to business object BUS1001 are no longer displayed.
Instead, all new attachments are assigned to business object BUS1001006. As a result, attachments cannot exist for both systems.
For workflow items, the assignment to the business object occurs in the respective tasks. It may be very time consuming to convert the business object, depending on whether an individual subtype (assigned to BUS1001) is created.
In other words, after you implement the note, the workflow items for business object BUS1001 can no longer be displayed in the material master.
Solution
With the following correction you can call the Generic Object Services for both business objects. When it is called, the system displays a dialog box in which you can choose the required business object, that is, BUS1001 ('Material') or BUS1001006 ('Standard material').
This correction is delivered as a modification supported by SAP only. This is because the additional option means that attachments can be maintained as required in either of the business objects and users may therefore require extra training.
However, the corrections enable you to display attachments and workflow items for both business objects without the need for a major conversion; this means that you do not get the impression that these have been lost.
Alternatively, as of Release 4.70 (or Basis 6.20) you can, without making a modification, implement method ADD_OBJECTS of BAdI GOS_MULT_PUBLISH for filter attribute WF_OVERVIEW ('Workflow overview'), SRELATIONS ('Relationships') and VIEW_ATTA ('Attachment list'). The implementation should be similar to the following:
METHOD if_ex_gos_mult_publish~add_objects .
DATA:
    ls_lporb TYPE sibflporb.
READ TABLE ct_lporb INTO ls_lporb INDEX 1.
if ls_lporb-typeid = 'BUS1001006'.
    ls_lporb-typeid = 'BUS1001'.
    append ls_lporb to ct_lporb.
endif.
endmethod.

Workflow for non PO base invoice (FV60)

Dear All,
I am trying to customizing workflow for non po base invoice. I have done all the nessary customization setting - obwa , obwj , obwb, obwc, obwd.obwe,obwf & using subworkflow WS10000051. Also I have checked that both Released Necessary & Doc. complited marked when document parked. I refered the following thread for the customization setting.
Re: Hi Csaba Soltesz, How can you activate workflow
Now the workflow is not triggering when I a document parked(save as complited). I am checking this via. FB03 ---> workflow --> Workflow overview
Please not that workflow is working perfectly for other company code in the same client. Hence nessary workflow setting already maintiained in the client.
*Kindly let me know whether I have missed some step?
Thanks in advance.

A workflow for a new MM vendor invoice showing the error.

We have detected the following strange behaviour in our workflow runtime environment.
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.
Please let us know the what is the problem

Purchase Requisition workflow issue

Hello friends,
i have created a workflow for PR release by copying standard WS20000077 .
the WORKFLOW trigeers properly ,
but when it created it goes to all users of applied release strategy , before release of previous one
what may be problem .
kindly suggest me .
Thanks & Regards
Digvijay Rai

Hi,
but when it created it goes to all users of applied release strategy ,
before release of previous one
You mean to say in the 1srt level Approval it goes to all People right. How you are determining the Agent, check that.
For PR Workflow See the Following,
WS20000077 this std. Workflow for the PR Release this has multiple levels of approvals, Depends on the no. of approvals it will flow.
The approver can picked using the User Exit M06B0001 (EXIT_SAPLEBNF_001), here you have to write a logic to pick the Approver.
The approval workitem comes to SAP Inbox, once the approver click the workitem it will open the Transaction, there the user can approve.
To see the status of the Workflow, Go to ME53N, in the top left a button, Service Object, click on that, a drop down appear in Workflow > Workflow Overview, you can see the status here.

Starting Workflow from Generic Object Services in IQS1 Transaction

Hi All,
My requirement is users will create the notification through IQS1 and they will attach the Adobe document through Generic Object service. In the notification Task, they will assign the repsonsible person for that form. Once they released the notification, i need to send a mail to the responsible person. I got the BO (BUS7051) . I created the custom WF and acitivated the BO & WF link. When i selected the Workflow Overview in the Generic Object Serivce, it is saying 'There are no workflows that have already worked with this object'. But when i checked the is worklow log in SWIA, my workflow got triggered.
I would like to know why it was not showing when i selected the same in Generic Object Serivce. How to trigger Workflow throuhg Generic Object Service.
Any info relevant to this, please share with me..
regards,
sasi

Hi,
For generic object services to find the workflow, the object must be attached to the workitem/workflow or used in the container.
If the object is correctly used in the workflow, it will be visible via GOS.
How did you use the object in the workflow?

Funds reservation workflow FMRE

A while back, I added generic object services to the funds reservation transaction FMX1 to allow users to see and attach images to the documents.
Now I have a requirement to create an approval WF for FMX1. I've tried running the standard WS50000016 and a custom version and neither show up in the GOS under the workflow overview.
If I manually start a workflow from the GOS, they show up fine but when I post the document and trigger the WF, it will not.
After some debugging, I noticed in the form that triggers the workflow, it passes the document number and a constant 000 for the line number to the FM that creates the "Create" event:
ORM wf_doc_created.
CHECK NOT save_wf_start IS INITIAL. " Belegart mit Workflow !!
CALL FUNCTION 'FMRE_WF_EVENT'
    EXPORTING
      event = 'CREATED'
      belnr = f_kblk-belnr
      blpos = con_initial_blpos. <-- constant 000
If I replace the '000' in blpos with blanks in debug mode, the workflow shows up in GOS with no problem. I just can't find an enhancement spot anywhere close that would allow me to change this field.
Given that FMX1 doesn't come with the GOS enabled, this is probably a bug that slipped through the cracks but any assistance with it would be appreciated.

> Please check when you trigger it manually what entry is getting registered in table SWW_WI2OBJ for your instance Id. You have to create an identical entry for WS50000016 with the corresponding instance ID by using the Proper Key and using GenericInstantiate of Business Object SYSTEM in side your workflow design. Once you have a proper entry here in this table Wflow log will appear.
Yeah I looked in the object table and it saves the object with the 000. Triggering it manually, the 000 isn't in the key but triggering it manually doesn't go through FMRE_WF_EVENT. Also when I run SWLO, the key of the object contains the 000. For some reason, this causes a problem for the GOS retrieve. But when I look at the WF log, it doesn't matter if the key has the 000 or not, clicking on it will bring up the fundsres document. But going backwards from the GOS, the 000 apparently matters and it doesn't work.
The problem with anything I do in my WF is that the object entries have already been created in all the tables. I think any change I make to the object key would have to happen prior to SWE_EVENT_CREATE.
I think if SAP had implemented the GOS in the transaction from the beginning, they would have fixed this. I'm not particularly happy with copying all of the FM code into an enhancement at the top of the same FM, but it does fix the problem.
Thanks for all the replies.

How to get workflow Item in custom FM ( method )

Dear Expert,
I am developing the workflow for PR release. We don't have the HR module so we are using Z-table for the release agent. I am using the BUS2105 for the workflow. I have created a new method to get the PR release agent and send mail to those agent asking for release and some other user to be notified.
I deligated ZBUS2105 and implemented the method to that object. The workflow is working as per the requirement but I am not able to get the PR number in FM of the Method.
FM name : ZMAIL
Import       : PRNUMBER         like EBAN-BANFN
                   RELEASECODE   like T16FC-FRGCO
Tables      : USRS_EMAILIDS
                 USRS_TOBE_NOTIFIED
                 USRS_TOBE_APPROVED
in the FM i am sending mail to the respective agent , I have to mention the PR number in the Body of the email but unfortunately the PR number is not coming in the Import paramete PRNUMBER where as i am getting the release code in RELEASECODE .
I would like to request you guide me how I can get the PRNUMBER in my FM which I have assigned to the custom method of ZBUS2105.
Best Regards
