Hi all, I am using BAPI_ALM_ORDER_MAINTAIN within a workflow to release a PM order which is created by the workflow in a step before with ALM_ME_ORDER_CREATE, followed by ALM_ME_ORD_BAPI_ORDER_POST and BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT. That works fine and the result is a PM order that is not yet released. After the BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT I have tried SET UPDATE TASK LOCAL, as well as WAIT UP TO 180 SECONDS. I also stopped the workflow to control whether all data is written to the database and I found all data of the PM order properly. BUT BAPI_ALM_ORDER_MAINTAIN always issued an error message saying that the data for the procedure (Vorgang) are not maintained for the PM order. If I run the BAPI_ALM_ORDER_MAINTAIN alone it works, same with the function I created as well as the method of the business object as well as the task for the workflow. As soon as the workflow runs it - error message, no release. Even if you release the PM order manually with IW32 the PM order is fine and released. No error message at all. My conclusion is that WF_BATCH cannot run the BAPI caused by lag of user rights also it has SAP_ALL. This makes no sence but might be the solution of the problem. Does anybody have an idea what's wrong?

BUS2012 created and changed events not triggering in one system
Hi,
I have a simple workflow to trigger with created & changed event of BUS2012. In one quality system it is working fine but in another QA system it is not. I checked Transport request and everything seems fine. Events are activated in workflow. i also checked event linkage in SWE2 which shows perfect. SWU0 also showing me nothing wrong. Moreover when im triggering this workflow directly from SWDD with appropriate inputs it gives me message in SWIA a "execution interrupted".
Could anybody please help me on this.

Could not find the object with the OID "005056B500531ED1B396C9C0A92A3F5C"
Hi,
We are using a Process controlled workflow in SRM 7 and have an issue with a couple of Purchase Orders.
The workflow is in status error and when the user goes to the Approval Tab on the portal, the system gives the below error.
I have since restarted the approval process and the PO was automatically approved by the system as per business rules.
The status is "Ordered" but the tab still gives the same error below.
Please assist.
Kind Regards,

SAP VIM by OpenText
Hope you are doing fine while reading this email.
I am working now as an SAP VIM Consultant and I am currently working on a project that plans to take advantage of the VIM Solution by OpenText. As I know that you are the expert on this, it will be highly appreciated if you can provide your comments/references on the following:
1. Based on the last discussion that I had with an OpenText consultant last year, ICC requires an invoice template for the automatic invoice field recognition to work properly. Is this still the case or has OpenText moved away with the template thing?
2. This will be dependent on the answer for the first question. If ICC still requires templates, will this affect the response time of the system to do the automatic recognition of invoices? I know that this will not have an impact but I just want to make sure on this.
3. I have seen a phrase in the OpenText documents about 'Full-text search'. Please let me know what does this mean?
4. With regards to the PO/invoice approval, can OpenText VIM link it to the HCM or is it still preferred to have the approval matrix?
5. For FI invoices (non-PO), is there a possibility to have it scanned and be routed to ICC for automatic recognition of fields? I know that ICC is mainly used for MM invoices (PO invoices), but I am not quite sure if the functionality can be used for FI invoices (non-PO).
6. Is there any preferred enterprise scanner hardware? If none, what is the most commonly used?
I hope you can find time to answer my questions as I really need it immediately. We are also checking the other VIM solutions (Readsoft, and there is another one that starts with a 'K'). But I am pushing for OpenText.
With kind regards,
Jaycee

CAC1 and multiple user entries
We enter time daily in CAT2 for 100 people on 9 hour days; Multiple transactions are needed for each employee in production. Approximately 35 different work orders per day; We cannot use multiple entries; We enter one employee at a time.; Would Multiple Entries permissions benefit the time keeper?
Does anyone have a screen shot of a multiple entry screen?
I believe we need CAC1 to authorize multiple permissions but we didn't purchase it, I believe.

Queriries around SWNCONFIG, SWNADMIN and SWNSELSEN
Dear Workflowers,
After reading /people/saujanya.gn/blog/2006/12/19/how-to-get-work-items-your-outlook-inbox (its helpful blog) I have following questions:
1. All steps as per blog 5314 has been performed including schedule report SWN_SELSEN in the background.
Unfortunately this is not working. I could not find anything in SOST and there is no e-mail sending to the user as per my schedule that I configure in SWNCONFIG.
When I executed report SWN_SELSEN manually (with option "No Time Check During Send), I can see e-mail in SOST
2. How to change the standard notification text?
I know its from SE61 but what should I put in dialog text.
What is the relationship between this text and SWNCONFIG?
3. Question on SWNADMIN and SWNCONFIG.
Why in SWNADMIN I only see 1 scenario which is "Standard" (not configured) while in SWNCONFIG I can see 3 scenario? Should we maintain these two transactions separately?

wf-initiator is being populated with WF-BATCH
Hello Experts,
I am having a weird problem with my workflows. I have a requirement to send an email to the initiator upon the rejection of the workflow. recently the workflow is acting weird and sending the rejection emails to the WF-BATCH user instead of the initiator. Eventhough, the event is triggered by the initiator this is being updated with the WF-BATCH user in the subsequent steps. This issue is not happening in my DEV system. Please find the screen shots for the comparison. One change i found between in both the systems is , in DEV the back ground steps are being processed by "Workflow System" and in Quality it is being processed by "WF-BATCH". I even verified the binding for &event_creator&--> wf_intitiator in the start event and it is in place. Your help is greatly appreciated.
Quality (Issue):
Log : notice the initiator is being picked up correctly during the initial step and the rest of the back ground steps are being processed by WF-BATCH.
Agents:
DEV SYSTEM (Working):
Thanks in Advance,

Leave Request latest End date even not create
Hi,
I have add "latest End' as 14 days after "work item creation" to our leave request workflow to approve the leave request automatically. It works well until we have a request rejected by the manager and employee revised and resubmitted the request.
When the request is resubmitted, the "latest end" event is not created at all, so the request is just waiting at the manager's box and not auto-approved after it past the deadline.
Does anyone experience this problem and how do you resolve it?
Regard,
Anna

Implementing checks on "Complete Workitem"
Hi all,
I've got the following requirement: for my workflow task: adding an attachment to the material master record = workflow object, after the end user has completed the workitem ("confirm end of processing" has been set), the system should check whether an attachment has really been added.
I've implemented this task with basically a call to transaction MM02, so the user could in theory do nothing and just complete the workitem afterwards (hence this requirement).
I've been debugging, but couldn't find any exits/enhancements to implement checks at this point. Also I haven't been able to find anything on SCN or in the SAP Help documentation (or the SAP Press Workflow book).
First question: is it at all possible, technically?
Second question: if not, are there other means to implement this scenario? Basically, it's about a free-format task, and checking whether it's been executed as intended...
Thanks for any pointers!

Is single workflow enough to maintain the PR approval app
Hi Experts,
In our company the FIORI PR approval app has been configured by a third party vendor and they configured the workflow too. They mentioned that, for different roles, different workflows need to be created separately.
We have so many dept. heads to approve a PR's in Fiori App. So is it necessary to create different workflows to approve a PR, based on roles and authorizations or single workflow is enough to maintain them all???
[I am not sure, whether to raise the question in Workflow or in Fiori. So kindly excuse]
Your help and advice is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Sakthi.

Purchase Order Auto approval Issue
I was going to create a workflow to auto-approve the first level upon saving the PO under $5000 limit. I have 3 levels of approvers.
A $5000 PO when saved triggers work items to the next level approver inbox. In our test scenario, When a PO is saved, The workflow is getting auto-triggered 3 times by the receiver custom function module copied from SWW_WI_CREATE_VIA_EVENT_INTERN. This is sending 3 workitems for each trigger to the next level approver inbox by WF-BATCH background user. For each workflow set there are 3 work items names; one for RELEASESTEPCREATED, 2nd one for RELEASED; 3rd for CHANGED. These are BUS2012 events. Appreciate ideas to resolve the same. I have only RELEASESTEPCREATED active for the event trigger and no others. Why are other events CHANGED and RELEASED getting triggered and how to stop them for getting triggered. Secondly, How to set a breakpoint when the workflow is triggered by background user such as WF-BATCH and make the program to halt there; Currently it is not halting at the breakpoint.

Remove items form backend
Hi Experts,
as you might have guessed, I need some assistence. I´ll try and explain with what that is.
We recently did an upgrade (HRSP´s) and right after that, the workflow wouldn't start.
This was fixed over the course of the week, but an issue remained.
The problem is, that the workflows that where "started" (but actually didn't) still got logged somehow.
Not in SWIA, not in SWIIHEAD. But when we started the process ASR_PROCESS_DISPLAY, where you can see all the processes started for HR, the items were visible.
The thing is, I need to remove these items from this list, but I have a hard time finding them.
Can someone tell me what tables i should look into, to delete these (ghost)workitems?
Thanks in advance!
Kind regards,
Rien

Extended notifications: more items selected than expected
i have configured SWNCONIFG for only one task and i know how many instances there were created in the system. when i run SWN_SELSEN and check WF/NOTIFICATIONS in SLG1, however, i see workitems ids that are for different tasks. i have removed all the prior task filter configurations and started from scratch, but the 'old' items keep coming back and some of them seem random as i don't recall ever creating any tasks for them.
is there a cleanup utility or do i have tor resort to a surgical procedure directly on the SWN_NOTIF table?
i'm only trying to avoid surprises during the go-live.

Extended Notification - Sending all Old notifications
Hello All,
For extended notifications, I have configured the ZALL_FULL as well as ZALL_DELTA filters as below.
When I ran it first time, it sent a few unnecessary emails. After that, it was running perfect.
When I removed all the tasks, it sent hundreds of old notifications.! How to stop it?
Can you please tell me?
- What is the importance of parameter DELTA in ZALL_DELTA and ZALL_FULL.
- What if I just set up ZALL_DELTA, will it work?
- Should I delete other filters; which are not necessary in my Category; or it doesn't matter?
Thank you.
