Workflow step approval via e-mail

Hi Experts,
I have a question related SAP BI workflow,
Is there any possibility to approve a workflow step via e-mail?
I mean I have a specific step what needs approval, can I prepare this approval step via e-mail? (not the built-in SAP mailbox)
Thank you in advance
Peter

Hi,
as far as I remember there was once a tool called MAPI or MAPI-Interface. The workflow guys used this to display workflow items in outlook. When you started the workitem in outlook the system did log you in and you could execute the workitem. Please consult the workflow guys for more details.

  • Workflow Step 'In Process'- Send mail with PDF attachment

    Hi,
    have to send mail with PDF attachment.
    I have written a function module with following steps,
    1. Convert SPOOL number to PDF using Function Module 'CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF'.
    2. Send mail with PDF attachment using Function Module 'SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1'.
    The Function Module is giving required output when tested and called in the report(Background Job).
    When I call this Function Module from Method-> Workflow Task the Workflow steps status is 'In Process' and not ending.
    Could you please help me on this??

    Hi shafath,
    When you try to send mail,  You need to call the function FP_JOB_OPEN before calling the function module to generate the pdf. ( /1B****)  . Is it missing in your code?

  • Workflow step (Approve Action) calling custom Java Service and "passing params"

    Good Afternoon, Fellow Coders!
    Normally I research and do proof of concepts until I find a solution but given super tight deadlines, I just don't have time - so I need your help.
    I am trying to have an Workflow Approve Action (Workflow Exit Event idocScript call) call a Custom Component (Java Service) AND "pass" some kind of parameters (bare minimum dDocName)
    In a perfect world it would be as simple as:    processContentInfo(String dDocName, String xMyCode1, String xMyCode2);
    But since I am calling the Java Service from idocScript (via executeService) I cannot directly pass params via the API.
    Is there a simple way to do this??
    It seems like if you can't directly pass params you could at least set them in the managed container (m_binder) and just know to pick them up on the Java side via some DataBinder like m_binder.getLocal(
    Am I missing a simple idocScript function that will let you do this?
    Note: I am NOT executing the Service from a URL so the normal ?param1&param2 -> m_binder.getLocal  solution is no good.
    Also, Bex's book warns about Service Classes "not easily being able to call other UCM Services"....  My Custom Service needs to do exactly that (as well as JDBC and other stuff). Is this really an issue??
    Seems like as long as I have dDocName I could use RIDC to hit whatever I want as long as I know how to use a binder, etc - is there some mystic nuance that prevents this?  Or was he just saying it's hard UNLESS you know RIDC well??
    Any and all quality advice is appreciated!  And please, try to give me a detailed answer as opposed to something vague like "try a Service Handler", I need something I can quickly digest.
    Thanks in advance!

    You can set parameters for the service call by setting Idoc Script variables before you call executeService.
    <$dDocName="TEST12345"$>
    <$param1="09876"$>
    <$param2="ABCDEFG"$>
    These variables are then available via the service DataBinder.
    Here is information about how to execute a service from a custom component. There should not be any issues doing this.

  • Calling Adobe form in a Workflow Step for approval

    Hello,
       There are some ISR forms and workflows in MSS which use Workflow tasks configured as JavaWebDynpro to call Adobe form from the Workflow Step.
    Is it possible to achieve the same using ABAP Web Dynpro and creating a new task and configuring to use it as an ABAP Web Dynpro (which can in turn call the Adobe form from the WD)?
    Thanks.

    Hi Anjali,
    1)You can develop an<b> RFC</b> that collects required basic data from R/3 and display them in <i>ABAP WD - Adobe Form</i>. The End user can change/fill the remaining contents of the Adobe Form and submits it for approval. The <b>RFC</b> again handles the triggering part of the <b>Workflow</b> and passes the form data to the workflow containers.And for approvals, you can use the <i><b>SWFVISU</b></i> to call a <b>ABAP WD</b> application from Workflow. And in turn the control again goes back to RFC and so...
    2)I dont have much idea in ECC 60 if there is a similar ABAP WD application like Standard Java WD <b>IsrFormApprove</b>.
    3)No idea.

  • Single Step approval BRF Workflow for RFx.

    Hi,
    I am facing one problem in process controlled workflow for RFx. I have the scenario where I have only one approver but 7-8 reviewer are there in between of approver and initiator for example:
    Initiator >reviewer1>reviewer2->reviewer3->....reviewer8-->approver.
    For acheiving this I have activated standard single step approval workflow.
    But while I am trying to add reviewers to the RFx at the time of creation of RFx the system is not shwing the reviewers. it gets refreshed only reviewers line is added to the reviewers Tab but system did not display any reviewer.
    And while I publish the RFx it directly goes to the approver and while i tried to add the reviewer from approver end the same problem is coming.
    Please help me. How I cam achieve this functionality.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Sachin

    Hello Ashutosh,
    Thanks For your reply. I want to add reviewers at the time of creation of RFx not ad-hoc approvers.
    As I explain in my question that I have only one approver in whole approval process rest all are the reviewers only who only do the review and add comments not the approving authority.
    Thanks,
    Sachin

  • Is N level workflow in SRM suitable for BRF rather than the two step approv

    Could anybody give some information about N level workflow in SRM abt whether it is more suitable for BRF (business rule framework) for agent determination rather than the two step approval workflow ?

    Hi Rita,
    BRF is process level configuration.  You will have to define a schema and it will be tied to a Business object (say BUS2121).  Schema consists different process steps.  Each process step can be tied to a work flow (Task id).  So, it doesn't matter whether 2 step or N step WF in BRF for the process step.  Agent determination will happen regardless.

  • One step approval workflow

    Hi All,
    I have added a step in one step approval workflow to check shop on behalf.
    When a person shop's on behalf of a manager, and 1 step approval is triggered, i want the approver to be the manager.
    But what is happening is that Manager's Manager is getting the workitem!
    My query is that :if A shop's for B, the approver should be B for the shopping cart. How can i achieve this????
    Anybody knows what needs to be done in this scenario?
    Thanks & Regards,
    San

    Hi San,
    In addition to Usman's views also look at the below mentioned points :
    1. In your org. structure if you have named somebody else as the head of the department for that org. unit, it will go to that person for approval.
    2. And there is no point in taking approval from the same guy for whom you are shopping on behalf. In such a case that guy can himself create a shopping cart.
    Looks like there is some mis / lack of understanding about the correct client requirements.
    But there are few work arounds you define this guy as the substitute for his manager.Then either of them can approve the shopping cart.
    Or.. don't make any body as H.O.D of org. unit and define the approval agent in the work flow builder using SWDD txn and let the approver will be taken from there.
    Hope this makes you more clear and helps in resolving your issue. Clarifications are welcome.
    Award points for helpful answers.

  • Standard n-step approval workflow for Purchase Order in sap 4.7?

    Hello friend,
                 In SAP 4.7 there is any standard template for  n-step approval workflow for Purchase Order.
    thanks in advance.

    Hi AM,
    there is no std template for n-step approvals but for Single Release.
    What you could do is create a custom one as per the number of approvals for PO.
    Also note a PO Release Strategy can handle only 8 levels of approval.
    Hope it helps.

    You need to setup the mailer (outbound & inbound). You can refer "Oracle Workflow Administrator's Guide" => "Step 6: Implementing Notification Mailers" for more details.
