Workflow start condition : PO type field in BUS2012

Hi all !
I am creating a Workflow process whenever a PO ( Order type NB ) is changed.
For this I am using the standard business object BUS2012 ( Purchase Order )
For my objective, I need to use the start Condition of PO type eq 'NB'. I go to Basic data and putting the start condition but I am not getting the PO type field in the Workflow Container. I have placed BUS2012 inside my workflow container. I am using the 'Changed' event.
What I have to do to get the PO type field or do I have to write a check FM ?
Could you please guide me how to put the start condition for the workflow ?
Thanks a lot,
~ The abaper
( Note : I have posted the same in Workflow forum as well, but no responses yet, I am trying here for a faster response, thnx )

There is no PO type in attributes of BUS2012. You have to extend it to add PO type and write program to that attribute.
That way you can have PO type in where condition of workflow basic data.
Let me know if you need any further help on this
Adding attribute is explained in one of the demos.... Go to Blobs and blog by category - ABAP - extending business object ... You will find a video demo for this...

WF start condition : PO type field in BUS2012

Hi,
Check in the BO BUS2012 if you have an attribute which stores the PO type field. If yes, you can directly use this attribute and chek its value in the start condition.
If not, then you can create a subtype of the BO BUS2012 and delegate the standard BO to this new Z BO.
Add a new attribute in the Z BO to store the value of PO type.
Now in the workflow start condition you need to check the value of the newly added attribute.
Hope this helps!

Workflow - starting conditions

Hello,
I need to know if it is possible to use the Transaction code /for example "BBPSC01" as a starting condition of the BUS2121 Workflows.
Is it standard functionality or does one have to do some addicional programing?
Anyone had experience with this?
Thanks for any reply.

Hi Dinesh, Disha,
I have the following situation:
User X is creating via trx BBPSC01 a Shopping cart for user Y.
All other users will use trx. BBPSC03 to create a SHC.
Only in the case of user X creating a shopping cart, I do not need a WF approval. (WF without approval)
In all other cases yes I do need WF Approvals.
Because user X has a dedicated role (Z_XXX) I tried to accomplish the behaviour of the WFs with the following starting condition for the WF without approval:
&_EVT_OBJECT.REQUISITIONERUSER.ACTIVITYGROUP&
CE
Z_XXX
This condition I excluded in the other BUS2121 WFs !
the problem now is that this condition is related to the Requester, not the Creator of the shopping cart!!
In the case of user X bying on behalf of user Y, the condition will refer to user Y and start a Workflow (with approval steps)!
Is there a (standard) container element I can use to differentiate the creator from the requesitioner in BBPSC01 trx.?
Any help or other suggestions are welcome,
Thanks in advance,
Aart

Error in start conditions

Hi experts,
I Get an error in my application monitors,
we dont have any clue who is the user and why is he facing such error.
Can any one help me out in this regard.
The error is
Start conditions for 00050101442 is incorrect : 0 workflows
This is SRM version 4.0
Best Regards,
Sairam.

Hi Sai
Check your workflow start conditions for this object in txn SWB_PROCUREMENT.
If you have multiple workflows activated for any object (say, SHopping cart), then you need to be careful to see that :
- start conditions are mutually exclusive (same start condition value should not be in 2 workflow startconditions. For example, you cannot define total value 0-1000 EUR for one workflow and 1000-10000 in another workflow as 1000 is valid in both )
- Start conditions encompass all possible values (For example, if you define total value 0-1000 EUR for one workflow and 1000-10000 in another workflow, it is not sufficient as they do not cover all values . Better would be to define 0-1000 in one workflow and >1000 in another workflow)

Z field in the start conditions of a workflow

Hi all,
Is it possible to add a z field in the start conditions of a workflow?
My requirement is to use a z field created in the shopping cart, in the start conditions for the workflow WS14000044.
Thanks and regards
Kishan

Yes you can undo the delegation at any point of time not to worry. It is just atable entry.
Go to swo1->Settings->Delegates
If you want to use a Custom Business object that is a delegate of a Standard Business Bo you can use it. You create a Virtual attribute in your custom Business Object. If you delegate the Custom bo with Standard BO. Whenever you refer to standard Business Object you will have this Custom attribute in your kitty. This will help in start Condition.

Workflow not triggered for BP when start condition's field is set by BADI

Hi guys,
I have created a workflow and given the start Event "Changed" of object BUS1006. In this I have given a start condition which triggers this event when a particular field on transaction BP is populated.
Now the problem is that when I myself explicitly populate the field and press save the workflow is triggered fine, but when I populate that field automatically in a Save BADI (BUPA_GENERAL_UPDATE), the workflow is not triggered. Tcode swel just returns the msg that Start condition returns 'FALSE' for object.
Can someone please help me in this or let me know where I can find its cause in system.
Any help would be really appreciated.
Regards,
Shaili

If this is just one field, create your own custom event and code launching it when saving BP with your field changed.
Maybe event Changed is executed only for changes in GUI.
If you program your own one you will have 100% control of it.

Custom field in start conditions for workflow WS14000044

Hi all,
We have a requirement where a value of a field is coming from the catalog to the shopping cart via the customer fields (provided by SAP). we want to use it as a start condition for the workflow.
The issue we are facing is that the customer fields are not visible as start conditions for the workflow WS14000044.
Is there a way we can make them visible?
We are using SRM 5.0
Thanks in advance
Kishan

Hi ,
start conditions are specified based on reqhead , i am not very sure wether the customer fields are available there.
since they are not available there , you can not see them in the start conditions.
please check wether you can find any notes which deal with implemenation of customer fields in the start conditions.

SAP Workflow not triggering due to "Start Condition return FALSE" message in SWEL

Hi,
I have SES approval workflow which is not triggering in few cases because of check function ends with exception even it has valid start condition and correct data. For example lets say we have PO no. 100 for which 3 SES (SES1,SES2 & SES3) are created. Out of which workflow for SES3 is not triggering even if all the three contain valid start condition(Bases on internal order at PO line item).when triggering workflow manually using SWUE for SES3 it work fine.Please find SWEL screenshot below and let me know if you have come across this type of issue.
Thanks in Advance.
Ishant.

kindly use SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT and not SWE_EVENT_CREATE it's always better to use APIs.
Why use 2 sub-objects? you already have a z-object and you can modify it. even if there is a reason for the double sub object , the workflow should still run on the standard one - BUS2091.
see for example :
Extending Object Types: Inheritance and Delegation - SAP Business Workflow - SAP Library
As for your question,
if you are using a function module to raise the event, way not check in it if the service entry sheet has been created properly before creating the event. you can even check if the PO contains an internal order in your RFC function module and raise a specific event. then you will have no need for the starting condition.

Configure Start conditions based on ibase\ and Customer Fields ??

Dear friends,
We have enchanced transaction types(document types) using Easy enchancement workbench (EEWB). Therefore we have a new tab(customer screen) in all the transaction types we use !!.
This tab has customer fields in it...
Now the requirement we have here is that we have to send Emails based on these customer fields and ibase and component.
How can i create start conditions based on the customer fields and ibase which are not present in object type BUS2000116(default) which is currently reffered while i create start conditions.
I know that i can create new object type(using swo1) and let it be have inherited supertype as BUS2000116 and then inside the new object type i can have my attributes( ibase and those customer fields) inside the new created object.
Is there any way of incalculating the customer fields and ibase \component in BUS2000116 ( by default it does not have these) ???
Assuming that i created new object type, how do i make use of this type while i am configuring conditions.
Any help would certainly be rewarded.

hi again,
Can anybody take some time out and guide me plz...

How to restrict the job start conditions (only "Immediate" type) ?

Hi,
We allow our users to schedule and execute in background mode transactions (example IP19, IW38). We gave them for that authorizations (object S_BTCH_JOB with LIST, PROT, RELE and SHOW - objetct S_PROGRAM with BTCSUBMIT).
We would like that users can schedule and execute their jobs only with the u201CImmediateu201D job start condition (in the Start Time screen for the type of start condition : Immediate, Date/Time, After job, After event, or At operation mode).
Another solution: prohibit the scheduling and the execution background job in a certain time interval ...
How can restrict the job start conditions ?
Thank you.
Patrice.

Hi Jan,
Yes, sa38 makes it possible indeed to execute in background into immediate mode a job but
the user have to know the name of the program to be carried out ...
The user knows only the name of these transactions trade. For example, IW38.
In the menu of this transaction, SAP gives the possibility to execute in background :
Program --> Execute in Background --> display of Start Time screen for the type of start condition :
Immediate, Date/Time, After job, After event, or At operation mode).
It is at this time there that we want that the user can only choose the "immediate" mode.
We must thus prohibit the other choices (Date/Time, After job, After event, or At operation mode) ... and
and we don't know how to restrict these other options in this screen "Start Time screen for the type of start condition".
Thank you.
By.

Error using a method call in the starting conditions of a Workflow

Hi,
In SRM 4, I have a doubt about a start condition with WFWS14000109 I need to trigger the WF depending on organizational unit of the requester (not purchase group or purchase organization).
I have seen in the editor, in SWB_COND in the part of requisitionerUser the Method ReadOrgUnit.
I change to traditional mode of the editor and when I select the method I get in Express1. field
&_EVT_OBJECT.REQUISITIONERUSER.READORGUNIT(_RESULT='OBEG';ACTORGUNIT= )&
If I use = and the organizational unit in express2 field I get error
Partial expression expected (expression '&_EVT_OBJECT_REQUISITIONERUSER.READORGUNIT(_RESULT',position 76)
Can anybody say me where is the error? how I should express the condition.
Thanks
Best Regards

I don't think you can use a BOR method in a condition. At least not as far as I know. I think it would be better to create a virtual attribute in your delegated subtype of BUS2121 and use that in the condition.

Start condition in workflows, not working

Hi,
I have been trying to edit the start condition for a workflow. I have entered the condition in coloumn "c" but the symbol does not comeup ( the condition active symbol). I have been trying out different things, but nothing helps. Please help me out..
Thanks,
Sukumar.

Hi,
1. Check the start condition through SWB_COND, It should be active.
2. Check that Receiver Function Module-SWW_WI_CREATE_VIA_EVENT_IBF
and Check Function Module- SWB_2_CHECK_FB_START_COND_EVAL have been maintain
through tcode: SWETYPV. If these FMs are not maintain, then maintain it.

G/L account in start conditions of a workflow

Hi SRM gurus,
is is possible to check the G/L account in a start condition of a workflow? Can not find it.
Example: Company 1234 and TotalValue >= 1000 and G/L account=777777 --> Then WS10000129 "One Step approval of shopping cart" should be initiated?
Would be great if that works!
Thanks and best regards,
