Purchase Requisition Workflow

Former Member — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 20:08:21 GMT

Hi,

I am using the SAP standard workflow template WS00000038.

I have activated the workflow. Also the SAP standard event is triggered while saving the purchase requisition.

But the workflow does not get triggered.

Could you please let me know how to trace the workflow or what step am I missing.

Points assured.

Thanks

Ramana

Hello,

Usually, standard SAP workflows are not used, they are usually copied and then customised.

You say the SAP standard event is being triggered, I assume you mean BUS2009 RELEASESTEPCREATED.

If you look in SWEL, do you see the event appear?

Is the linkage between the event and the workflow in SWE2 and activated?

If you trigger the event via SWUE, does the workflow start?

There may also be some configuration steps involved, release strategies etc, but try the above first.

Hi Rick,

I got the first step to work.

I added a new step to trigger an email and it works.

I am now stuck up in the next step Release Requisition (TS00007986).

I'm not sure how this is being executed.

Kindly help me.

Thanks

Hello,

You're better off using a copy of the workflow otherwise all

your changes will disappear at the next upgrade!

I thought you said the workflow wasn't being triggered, but now it is?

What's the problem with the Requisition release step? Is there

an error message? In the standard workflow there's no agent

assigned so that may be the problem right there. You could

make the agent the workflow initiator.

Hi,

There another std. workflow WS20000077 for the PR Release this has two levels of approvals, Depends on the no. of approvals it will flow. Check this whether it suites your requirement.

The approver can picked using the User Exit M06B0001 (EXIT_SAPLEBNF_001) in the user exit you have to write a logic to pick the Approver.

The approval workitem comes to SAP Inbox, once the approver click the workitem it will open the Transaction, there the user can approve.
