Workflow started, no agent assigned

Hi.
I am working on a treasury workflow (TrLoApprove) to approve the Bp's that will have been created. I have done all the release procedures as required in customisation. But when the workflow is processed it, it is processed in an error state. The error being that there is no agent assigned at the start of the workflow.
Regards,
Audrey

Hi Audrey,
Thsi problem is occuring because the workflow you are trying to execute does not have agents specified.
To set the same go to t-code PFTC. Select 'Workflow Template' and go to Change mode. Go to menu path Additional data -> Agent Assignment -> Maintain -> Attribute -> select 'General Task'
You you do not wish to set as general task then assign a particular set of users who could execute the workflow.
Hope this helps!

Agent Assignment Missing

Hi Experts,
I have created a custom workflow which has a user decision step. We have used a rule for agent assignment and we have also maintained General task: can be edited by all users. We have implemented deadline monitoring for this step.
When we moved this workflow to QA, agent assignment (General task: can be edited by all users) was not transported.
Now when we executed the workflow, agent was not determined, but still deadline emails were triggered.
Is this correct ? Shouldnt the workflow go into an Error state as no agent was determined ?
Note: I know that we can transport agent assignment using RE_RHMOVE30.
Thanks.

Requested start states , when the workitem must be sent to user's inbox, In Simple, it mentions after how much interval of time the workitem will in the user's inbox
In your case after 3 Mins of.... (check it) the workitem will be in the user's inbox,
and coming to Latest End , it is a grace period to user to act on the workitems, if user does not act on the workitem then this deadline is reached, in your case teh suer has give one day , if he does not act on the workitem with in one day the deadline is reached.

Loss of tasks agent assignment when transported

I have a task in a workflow with an agent assignment. When I transport the workflow, I lose the agent assignment. How can I fix this? I tried to re-transport the workflow but it did not help things.
A little more information: the agent assignment is to a Position that I had existing in the development environment, but not in the test environment before the first transport of the workflow (I forgot to create it).
I have now created it, but still cannot get the agent assigned.

G'day Anthony,
Are you refering to use of the Position against the Task as a Possible Agent or at the step level as the Responsible Agent?
Typically you don't transport the possible agent info because as you've realised the Org data isn't the same between systems. Realistically you normally would want different possible agents anyway during testing and QA. This does mean that you need to set up possible agents after transport.
If you're refering to step level responsible agent, the use of a position directly is not recommended. In this case you could try using the position as the only possible agent and leave the responsible agent at the step blank (therefore it will go to all possible). Alternatively you can have a simple resposibility rule which will allow you to maintain the position though OOCU_RESP in each system/client.
Good luck,
Mark

Held PO triggering workflow and agent assignment to myself

Hi experts,
Is there a way where I can prevent held documents from triggering my workflow?
How can I achieve the following 2 scenarios for agent assignment:
1) Create PO and workitem route back to myself
2) Release PO and workitem route back to myself

Lester,
If you are a User01, then You started the process like if you are creating the PO, then the workflow is getting triggered. So now you are the initiator of the process, and in WF_inititor will be hold your user name user01.
Thanks,
Vijay.

Workflow - Dynamic agent assignment

Hello!
I am doing Workflow development. I have a question about Workflow Agent Assignment.
I want to assign multiple agents ( 1 or 2 or more agents and It's not static. Each agents have task that processing independent. and next task is started after end of all multiple tasks.).
But I can't dynamic assignment('Adhoc agent assignment' is not that.)
Can you help me?(Is this possible?)
Best Regards,
Juhyun

Hi
If I have understood you correctly, you have a multiline container element with a number of agents (type wfsyst-agent) - and now you would like to send a workitem to each agent - and not just one workitem to all of your agent.
To achieve this you need to define the task (or sub workflow) as a multiline element. T
his is done in task implementation in the workflow builder. Switch to the tab <b>Other</b>, in here you add your multiline container element containing.
When you now go back to agent assignment, you will find two container elements for your multiline element, use the one with [&_WF_PARFOREACH_INDEX&].
The result will be that exactly one workitem is created for each entry in your multiline container element.

FI Payment Release Workflow Agent assignment and SPRO settings.

Hi Experts,
I am working on Payment release workflow for 2 stages. So for this i have activated the main workflow WS00400012 and for First level release WS00400011 and for second level release WS00400021.
Now where should i assign the agent for First level release and second level release ? and what setting should i do in SPRO as FI settings.
Any of you suggestions will be of great help me to resolve this issue.
Regards,
Hari

Hi,
Thank you for your reply.Should i mention the main workflow number in SPRO or
just the subworkflows alone ?.
Assign main workflow number
Can i assign users directly in workflow itself insteas of assigning position in SPRO.
Don't assign users inside the workflow, if the user id you want to change then again you have to change the workflow.

RFQ Workflow: Agent assignment

Dear All,
We are working on the Release RFQ workflow.
Per my understanding, the IMG settings determine the users/OUs who should be receiving mails
to release the RFQ. This multilevel approval is in place.
Now, I have created an RFQ, this triggered the workflow, but there is an error in the release activity.
The error says "Purchase reqn number is not found".
Do we need to explicitly mention the release rule 20000030 in the agent assignment section
of the workflow? Why does the error abt purchase reqn appear?
Does it look if the RFQ is created w.r.t Purchase reqn?
As this is both MM/workflow related doubt, Iam posting it in both the forums
Please help me.
Thanks,
nsp.

Thanks for your response.
These steps are already taken care of.
Now, what I have done is, I have created an RFQ with reference to a purchase requisition. In SWEL, I see workflow WS20000080 triggered. But I get an error saying "Element purchase order is not available in the container. Error in resolution of rule 'AC20000030' for step. Agent determination failed"
Can you advise me? Why does it look for purchase order ?
Thanks,

Agent assignment to workflow task

Hi all,
1) I have assigned a workflow(sub workflow) in a activity step in main workflow and assigned workflow task no ws99900258 in that step.i have tried to assign agents as general task.
i couldn't do it.its showing that please place the cursor..some thing.
Kindly let me know how to assign to a workflowid.
2) in another workflow i am facing the problem is "mandatory import element(workflow container object(z_plm_sbc) is not explicitly provided".
Kindly let me know how to rectify this error.
Regards,
Ramesh.

Hi Ramesh,
1. Open the workflow ws99900258 in tcode PFTC,
     Menu options -- > additional data-->agent assignment --> maintain --> select your workflow (this is where you are missing)
     click on "atttributes' buttone..
     Make it as general.
2. In your workflow some of the elements are mandatory, pass the required value into that element.
This is you have to mention in the Binding ..

Workflow agent assignment in Production system

Hello Sap Gurus,
Is there a way to maintain harcoded agents(not a general task..but putting in a user's name) on the tasks in the SAP production system without going to Change mode.
I know we can do it for the Workflow templates in Dispaly mode but for the tasks, it wouldn't let us do without being in Change mode.
Any suggestions is appreciated
Thanks

Hi Rachana,
The agent assignment of a task is a PD infotype and therefore the question is do you have the authorisation do maintain in production?
From what you have described, the short answer appears to be no. But a longer answer is that, with sufficient access, you can open a workitem in change mode and forward to a new agent after using the Replace Manually option.
Another option would be to go in throught the diagnosis tolls (SWUD) and use the option test environment. You will see the steps of your workflow at the bottom of the page. If there is a red football shaped object - this is agent assignment - you can click to maintain the assignments.
A better question is why maintain by user ID here as it is a pain to maintain.

Agent Assignment in Workflow

If anyone had worked on customizing the WF for Changed Sub profile, WS1200124, please tell me how to configure the role for the standard task: 1200191, Abbreviation: PDVDispProfi .
I need to use this task for two purposes, one to show to the owner of the profile and second to the manager of the owner of the profile.
I tried giving the rules 01200025 for Employee and 01200024 for the manager in agent assignment for the tasks, but the workflow hangs at these tasks.
If I hardcode the agent to some user, it works fine.
Any suggestion on what would have gone wrong?
Is something to be activated at the rule level?
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Mikko,
I work on ECC5 system.
Your answer solves half of my issue.
I assign an Expression with &EMPLOYEE& as the agent to task and this sends the mail to the employee.
the Work Item Subject says "Your Dev. Profile has been change".
Now, I also need to send the same mail to the supervisor of the employee.
Here, The workitem text should be "Dev. Profile has been changed for the Employee<b> XYZ</b>".
So, I cloned the task TS01200191 to TS900001,
changed the text accordingly and
created a container element "PERSON"
inserted this element as a variable in the text.
I need to pass this PERSON to the task in the binding from workflow.
This PERSON should be created in the workflow container and filled.
Please confirm if this procedure works or if there is a better one.
Thanks.

Agent assignment problem for activity in workflow

Hi Experts,
I have created an activity task for calling MM02 transaction in my workflow. I need to send this workitem to multiple people. I am using an expression in the place of agent assignment available in Control tab of the task. Now this assignment is not recognized by workflow, it shows error "Task TS90000070 has no agent assignment. Please suggest how to fix it, or if there is any other method available to send workitem to multiple people. Note: I am not using standard organizational management feature here.
Thanks,
Ashok

Hi Ashok,
It seems you have not assigned possible agent for this task. Please follow these steps.
Execute PFTC transaction and take 90000070 in change mode.
Now goto Additional Data -> Agent Assignment -> Maintain.
This will take you to another screen where you can find the task 90000070. Click on the first button (Create Agent Assignment) on the application toolbar. This way you can assign an agent if you are using organizational management.
If not, then make it as a general task. For this click on the 'Attributes' button and select the 'General task'.
Hope this is helpful.
Thanks
