Workflow triggering actions?

We defined multiple workflow actions for opportunity sales assistant. These actions share a common business logic (WF template), but they should be processed by different groups depending on the actions.
Is there a way for us to find out the triggering action at runtime? so we can direct the workflow to the responsible group.
We were able to pass the opportunity business object to the workflow container, but it doesn't contain any information of the triggering action.
Thanks, Yan

You can't update another object when one object is updated i.e. Custom Object can't be updated automatically using Workflow when Contact Object is updated. You need to use Web Services to do this. All you have to do is define some Integration Events on the Parent object (which triggers the Update) and then based on the Integration EVent, update the Child Object (which needs to be updated).
BTW, this is not related to Contact On Demand, it is related to CRM On Demand Topic

Workflow Vs Actions

Hi
What is the difference between using workflow and actions for a transaction?
Thanks

Hi....
Workflow is SAP specific technology to automate the flow of tasks among various agents in an organisation.....
U will design this WF using workflow modeller ..Tcode SWDD...
Once designed....It can be called immediately as soon as the event is triggered in the transaction...

Approval workflow triggers when not expected for SRM PO & without Agent ??

Hi All,
We are using SRM 5.0 integrated with SAP MM backends.
We are frequently facing this problem, when a buyer creates a PO (in SRM) within his/ her Spending (Output) Limit, the PO approval workflow triggers and is not able to find an agent.
Although the workflow should not trigger as the PO value is below spend limit of the buyer......we are not able to understand this behaviour.
In such cases, the buyer is not able to issue the POs, since the POs show 'Awaiting Approval' status.
I can find such POs with SRM transaction SWI2_ADM1, but I can not do anything beyond that. I am not able to Forward or 'Complete Manually' such work-items.
Any idea how this problem can be fixed or if there is any SAP note available for same.......anything??
Has anyone faced this kind of problem before?? Please help.
Thanks,
Ruchika

please check from the workflow log , the workflow which the system is starting.
might be the system is able to start another workflow than the one which you are mentioning
use the transaction swi6 for workflow log , use the purchase order guid

Hi Ruchika,
This seems to be a problem with the start condition of the PO approval workflow. Check for the same and see if there is any issue.

Workflow triggering problems

Hi all,
I have a puchase order release workflow ,and have activated the triggering in tcode pftc,but the problem is ,every time I create a purchase order the workflow triggering gets deactivated and have to manually activate it after each Purchase Order creation or change.
Does anyone have a clue as to what may cause this problem?
Regards
MM

Hi Raja,
Thank you for your reply.
I tried changing the method but it still throws the same error. i dont think this error is related to the Task method , since it can also be a dummy method (as is the case with the leave approval workflow 12300111) .
Any other helpful suggestions ??
Thanks,

Error from Cisco Agent Desktop - The agent- or workflow-initiated action request failed.

We have roughly 20 agents using Cisco Agent Desktop version 85.1.417 and I have one that when she clicks the phone button to answer a call she gets the error: "The agent- or workflow-initiated action request failed."
I reinstalled the program, but she still receives the same error. What could be causing this problem?

Duplicate workflows triggered

Hi all,
we are using Function module SWE_EVENT_CREATE to trigger workflow for MM invoice.
Business object used - BUS2081 and event used to trigger workflow is BLOCKEDQUANT.
yesterday there are 2 workflows triggered for each invoice using this FM.
Can anyone help me why 2 workflows triggered.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Vijay,
Get to know when the event BLOCKEDQUANT would be triggered, I guess this event would be triggered always when there is price change in Invoice with a item blocked due to quantity change, If so use check function module in event to workflow binding to avoid duplicacy in such cases.

Workflow Triggering twice when executing transaction cj21n

Hi Experts,
when i am executing transaction cj21n my workflow is triggering twice but earlier it was working fine ..
please provide your input on the same
Thanks
Deepanker Dwivedi

Hi,
The 'event' which mapped to workflow triggered twice or another event may added to the workflow
1) Did you give additional event for the workflow in the Basic Data -> Start events, if yes remove that event and test it.
2) If 'No', In the SPRO configurations some settings might have changed, Check with your Function Consultant ask any changes they done in the SPRO settings related to the T.code cj21n.

Specific requirements on extraction triggering action

Hello,
I have a little bit specific requirements on how to replicate data betweeen two Data Warehouses.
So I have a DW. This DW recieves data from a lot of source systems.
Also it have some table, the structure of that table like the following (lets name the table "load_proc_table"):
source_system, load_start_date, load_finish_date.
What I need is to perfrorm extracting data from the DW basing on previously obtained value of the load_finish_date:
1. Init load. Extract data, save current value of the load_finish_date (let it be saved_load_finish_date).
2. Extract data changes using triggering action: when exists (load_proc_table.load_start_date > saved_load_finish_date AND load_proc_table.load_finish_date IS NOT NULL)
3. Extract only data changed in time period between load_proc_table.load_start_date and load_proc_table.load_finish_date (all rows in the tables are marked with date/time showing when row)
So the question: is it possible to save load_finish_date and use it for triggering extraction process?
And is it possible at all to meet requirements described below using Golden Gate?
Why I need it: I need to run ETL process only after all the actual data will be trasfered to the destination database (between saved_load_finish_date and last load_finish_date values).
Thanks.
Sergey.

I think you mean the followings:
You plan to use ETL loading tool to do the initial loading. However, you want to replicate the new data added to DW during the loading time.
If this is the case, you can start the Oracle GoldenGate extraction when you start the initial load to record the changes. Then start the replicat after the initial loading is done.
If not, please clarify. May I ask what DB is used for your source DW?

Workflow triggers unwantedly

Hi All ,
we are a strange issue in EC incoming Invoice workflow in SRM, descriptiojn is as follows
we have two workflow in our system for invoice one goes through approval and other auto approval , and on the SRM portal at header level in the basic data we have added two custom fields allow NON-PO invoice and Allow RE ,and implemented the doc_check_badi , now at the line item level if we do not give any PO refernce and check/post then we get an error message saying the entrer PO and the status of the invoice to " to be corrected manually" ideally in the above case approval workflow should not trigger , it sould only trigger when we tick the allow Non-po invoice check button , and it was working fine , but suddenly after patch upgrade the approval workflow triggers even if we do not tick the chck box at header level . Can anyone suggest did any thing go wrong in patch upgrade , I have checked all the conditions and linkages all are fine, but i guess some standard setting is missing which would have gone missing .

Dear all,
         Thanks a lot for reading my post with intention to answer.
         The issue is resolved now.
         The problem was at BAdI.To trigger the workflow with event CREATED for purchase requisition, BAdI named ME_REQ_POSTED needs to be used :
         Following coding is used for the same :
method IF_EX_ME_REQ_POSTED~POSTED.
DATA: WA_EBAN TYPE EBAN.
DATA L_S_EBAN TYPE UEBAN.
DATA: OBJKEY TYPE SWEINSTCOU-OBJKEY .
LOOP AT IM_EBAN INTO L_S_EBAN .
ENDLOOP.
    IF ( SY-TCODE = 'ME51N' AND SY-UCOMM NE 'MECHECKDOC' ) OR SY-TCODE = 'ME52N' .
      IF L_S_EBAN-BSART = 'ZNB'.
        OBJKEY = L_S_EBAN-BANFN.
        SELECT SINGLE * FROM EBAN INTO WA_EBAN WHERE BANFN EQ OBJKEY.
        IF SY-SUBRC NE 0.
          CALL FUNCTION 'SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT'
            EXPORTING
              OBJECT_TYPE             = 'BUS2105'
              OBJECT_KEY              = objkey
              EVENT                   = 'CREATED'
             COMMIT_WORK             = 'X'
             EVENT_LANGUAGE          = SY-LANGU
             LANGUAGE                = SY-LANGU
             USER                    = SY-UNAME
*   IFS_XML_CONTAINER       =
* IMPORTING
*   RETURN_CODE             =
*   EVENT_ID                =
* TABLES
*   INPUT_CONTAINER         =
*   MESSAGE_LINES           =
*   MESSAGE_STRUCT          =
        endif.
      endif.
    endif.
   endmethod.
          I have missed the loop block.That's why the workflow was not triggering.

Embedded Image triggers action even when disabled - Agentry

Hi;
I am working on SAP Work Manager 6.0 customising, using Agentry 6.1.3. I have created these embedded images for triggering actions that act on the current selected object on the current screen. The embedded images have rules to display the enabled image when particular conditions are met and rules to display the disabled image when not met. To my suprise, the buttons still seem to trigger the underlying action even when the button is showing the disabled image. Is this standard Agentry behaviour or there is a particular way I have to implement the underlying action to avoid this?
Your help is much appreciated!
Thanks and Regards;
Sizo Ndlovu

Hi Stephen;
Thank you for the response. If I understand you correctly, you are saying I should put an action enable rule based on the enable/disable image, to say only enable action if image = enabled? How would this rule look like?
Thanks;
Sizo Ndlovu

Time based workflow:wait action not working

I need to build a workflow for sending mail to manager if for an opportunity sales stage "requirement" remains for more than 30 days,I have given the workflow condition as:
([<SalesStage>] = "01 - Requirements")
& then 2 actions 1st "Wait" & then "Send mail" somehow its not working.Please guide where i am getting wrong..

Let me understand your business case: You need to send ONE email to the manager of the opportunity owner, if the Sales Stage = '01 - Requirements' for more that 30 days.
You need two workflows and a unused/custom field (a boolean field is preferred). Both workflows are similar. The first workflow is based on the event - When new record saved. This workflow will be invoked as soon as a new opportunity is created. The second workflow is invoked whenever the opportunity is modified using the event - When modified record saved. Any user who has edit rights to the opportunity could modify the opportunity but not change the sales stage. This results in an unpleasant situation where the manager could be flooded with emails. That's where we use the boolean field to protect against multiple updates and ensure a single email is sent after 30 days if the sales stage is still '01 - Requirements'
Workflow 1
Record Type: Opportunity
Event: When new record saved
Condition:[<SalesStageId>] = "12ASA-XCD34" AND ([<IndexedBoolean0>] IS NULL OR [<IndexedBoolean0>] = "N")
Note:
1. IndexedBoolean0 is the field named Indexed Checkbox in the list of fields
2. I have used the sales stage id. You have to find out the sales stage id for '01 - Requirements' and use it here.
Workflow 1 - Actions (remember to activate all actions and workflows)
1. Action = Wait
Period= 30 days
Reevaluate Rule Conditions After Wait = Y
2. Action = Field Update After Wait
Field Name = Indexed Checkbox
Value = "Y"
Overwrite Existing Values = Y
3. Action = Email
From > Specific Email Address> "[email protected]"
To > Relative User On Record > Opportunity Owner's Manager
Repeat this workflow configuration for Workflow 2, where the only difference is the event which should be When modified record saved
Exposing the Indexed Checkbox on the opportunity detail page layout for all users is optional (not recommended). It might be a good idea to expose this checkbox on the opportunity detail page for the administrator role only... so that he/she can take corrective action if an email is not sent after 30 days.
