WTA How to do MM PR /PO Workflow configuration

Hi Guru,
I want to ask how do I configure the MM PR and PO workflow. Do anyone have a simple guide which I can build from.
Thank you.

I am not sure if workflow will work here since requirement is to sent mail to purchaser that PR is created. In system we can have workflow for PR release strategy, and mail can be setup for this.
for you requirement, there are reports (ME5A) where purchasing can view PRs which are directed to them (purchasing group).
In ME57, a purchaser can see the list of PR which is responsible for his purchasing group, and the same he can convert to PO.

How do I manually start a workflow to...

I have a list with 2000+ items in it. I create a 2013 workflow in SPD that will look at an item and if it date is less than 1/1/2013 it will create a copy of the item on a list used for archiving, then delete the existing list item.
My question is how do i manually start this workflow on the entire list (instead of selecting 1 item at a time)?
Thanks
James T.F

@Romeo
I've found to potential PowerShell scripts that could launch a list workflow from powershell, but they both throw errors for me.
# URL of the Site
$web = Get-SPWeb -Identity "https://sharepointsrv/site1"
$manager = $web.Site.WorkFlowManager
# Name of the list
$list = $web.Lists["Shared Documents"]
# Name of the Workflow
$assoc = $list.WorkflowAssociations.GetAssociationByName("On Item Created","en-US")
$data = $assoc.AssociationData
$items = $list.Items
foreach($item in $items)
$wf = $manager.StartWorkFlow($item,$assoc,$data,$true)
$manager.Dispose()
$web.Dispose()
this gives me the following error
Exception calling "StartWorkflow" with "4" argument(s): "Value cannot be null."

#Getting a Workflow manager object to work with.
$wfm = New-object Microsoft.SharePoint.WorkflowServices.WorkflowServicesManager($spSourceweb)
#Getting the subscriptions
$sub = $wfm.GetWorkflowSubscriptionService()
#Getting the specific workflow within the list of subscriptions on the specific list. (SP2010 associated workflows basically)
$WF = $sub.EnumerateSubscriptionsByList($spSourcelist.ID) | Where-Object {$_.Name -eq "$TargetWorkflow"}

$wfis=$wfm.GetWorkflowInstanceService()
Foreach($item in $spSourceList){

$object = New-Object 'system.collections.generic.dictionary[string,object]'
$object.Add("WorkflowStart", "StartWorkflow");
$wfis.StartWorkflowOnListItem($WF, $item.ID, $object)}
Which then gives me this error.

How to use secondary method in workflow?

Hi friends,
can anyone plz let me know how to use secondary methods in workflow? it would be helpful if u explain with an example..
thanks and regards,
Arun.S

Hi Arun Kumar,
The Sec Method can be used in the user decision step. The secondary methods are executed along with the user decision step. You have 3 options. Either execute a secondary method before executing the user decision step or after execution of user decision step or while executing the user decision.
For this define the methods either in Methods before execution of workitem execution to execute it before user decision step or Methods after execution of workitem so as to execute it after the execution of user decision.
In order to execute a method along with user decision step execution use secondary methods (amodal call.)
Let me know if you have any queries.
Regards,
Raj

How to determine the agent of workflow administrator

In the workflow, when there is any exception raised, we need to send notification to workflow administrator. My question, how to determine the agent of workflow administrator.

Hi jrockman li,
No it is not like that, i mean that administrator for workflow will a single person so you can simply give his userid as the agent.
As you told "YES SAP HAVE WORKFLOW ADMINISTRATOR ROLES"
SAP_BC_BMT_WFM_ADMIN Administrator for Business Workflow
SAP_BC_BMT_WFM_GP_ADMIN Role for Guided Procedure Business Workflow Administrators
SAP_BC_BMT_WFM_UWL_ADMIN UWL: Administrator for Workflow Functionality
You can use this roles for the agent determination purpose for the workflow administrators.
Thanks and Regards

Can someone tell me how to work with XML and workflow?

Ive insert a XML file in a CLOB data type column of a table. Now I want to
use some tags of this clob in a process of ora workflow. I know that there is a standard function get tag, but how can I say where the tag must get his information?
Oracle should foreseen a document with step-by-step instructions, how to use XML in Oracle workflow. There is nothing to find on OTN or Metalink or even the internet to do this.
Thanks for your time

If you are using the standard XML Get Tag Value activity, you can specify the tag set in XPath notation. For details about this notation, see the W3C Recommendation "XML Path Language (XPath)". Note that this standard activity looks for the CLOB within an event message structure. See:
http://otn.oracle.com/docs/products/oracle9i/doc_library/release2/workflow.920/a95265/std21.htm#xmlgettval

How to transport changes made on Workflow Template to other cleint

We have make changes to Workflow template via tcode PFTC_CHG (Change Task), with workflow builder screen, we make changes on the standard task, work item text etc, save the changes to workflow template WS90000XXX. However the changes we make is not save under a Transport Request number.
How to make the changes on workflow template to save under a transport request and transport it to other client. ?

Hi Eric,
All development and customization of workflwo are saved in a transport request.
If while making the changes it did not prompt you for a TR then check the TR in whcih the task was created.
To port TRs follow the below procedure:
1. Go to t-code SCC1.
2. Select the transport request number and enter the source system (client)
3. Click on 'Including Request Subtasks.
4. Click on button 'Start immediately'
This would port the TR.
Please note to port workbench TRs before the customizing TRs.

How to call java method from workflow script?

Hi
I have a requirement of updating field value 'Document Status' based on review/approve of content from Workflow and hence need to update the version number. For that I need to call my java method from workflow during submit of review/approve condition. Please let me know how to call java method from workflow?
Is there any alternative better way to achive this requirement from workflow? Please suggest.
Thanks,
Sarang

OK. So, I think we can all conclude that you don't need to call any Java method, can't we? And, that wfUpdateMetadata is the command that will update your metadata.
Now, the question is what are its arguments. It has two - the first is the name of a custom metadata field to be updated (let's suppose that one field is called xMinorVersion, and the other xMajorVersion), the other is the new value, e.g. <$wfUpdateMetaData("xMinorVersion", "New value.")$>As for new value - do you insist on using strings? Since you want to increase the value, it would be more convenient to work with numbers. For instance, with integers you could go with <$wfUpdateMetaData("xMinorVersion", xMinorVersion + 1)$>With strings you will need to convert it to numbers and back to strings. Besides, what happens if you have more than 100 minor versions? (you mentioned you want to add 0.01, but that would finally increase the major version, wouldn't it?) So, I think these two numbers are independent (perhaps, with exception that increase on the major version set the minor version to .00).
If you want to present it, you can use profiles that will construct for you the representation 2.304 out of MajorVersion = 2, MinorVersion = 304
Solved?

How can u trace process of workflow throug workflow base table.

Hi,
My previous question might be confusing
Just want to ask
How can u trace process of workflow throug Which workflow base table.
Please It's urgent
Thanks
Bachan

Bachan,
Why do you need to enable trace from the backend? You can run "bde_wf_item.sql" script, this script gives similar information as wfstatus.sql and wfstat.sql give but with more debugging information
Note: 187071.1 - bde_wf_item.sql - Runtime Data of a Single Workflow Item

How to set field value in workflow SPD2013?

Hi All,
how to set field value in workflow SPD2013? Actually using Infopath, i need to update a field value through workflow.(Little differnt from SPD2010). How to do this?

As Amit says, some elaboration here would be good. You can use InfoPath as a form for either a list or a library and then set it to trigger a workflow upon item creation. The workflow will consist a number of actions, one of which is the Update
Field Item.
More information on the available steps can be seen here.

WS20000263 Workflow configuration in Treasury (Business partner approval)

Hi Experts,
Currently we are doing an SAP Upgrade from 46C to ECC 6.0 (Enh. 4) and in Treasury we cannot solve a problem. There is a workflow (id: WS20000263) which is used in case when the BP is created or changed. This workflow was used in 46C, but in ECC 6.0 this is changed (in the new system the BP is managed in a different way as it was in 46C - Central Business Partner).
The problem is that the workflow is not working: I am not even able to do the proper configuration. There are some contradictory parts in SAP help which confuse me! (i.e.: in SPRO in "Active Release" config point, it says "activate the release object CBP SAP Business Partner". But the table - which contains this configuration point - is filltered for "ZBP" object, which means i can activate only the "ZBP" object and never the "CBP" object. The other point is that I cannot add "CBP" value in a "proper" way...)
I hope any of you faced with this workflow configuration and help me out or at least give me some advices.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Best Regards,
Attila

Hello Atrtila ,
Good Morning.
can you please tell me how your problem is solved.i am facing exactly the same issue in our system.exactly same thing.workflow release is getting triggered on changing any business partner role but not triggering at the time of creating a new line in business partner role .
please help.
Vijay Agarwal.
