EXPORTING

wi_id = WORKITEMID

DO_COMMIT = 'X'

EXCEPTIONS

UPDATE_FAILED = 1

NO_AUTHORIZATION = 2

INVALID_TYPE = 3

OTHERS = 4

IF sy-subrc <> 0.

MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO

WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.

ENDIF.

CALL FUNCTION 'DEQUEUE_E_WORKITEM'

EXPORTING

MODE_SWWWIHEAD = 'E'

CLIENT = SY-MANDT

WI_ID = WORKITEMID

X_WI_ID = ' '

_SCOPE = '3'

Hi Shah,

What is the return code of function module SAP_WAPI_ATTACHMENT_ADD?

Also while debugging check the messages from message_lines parameter of the same FM.

Thanks,

Vijay.

Have you tried using "Commit" ?

Re: workflow not showing attachment

safeer_shah2 — Mon, 09 Feb 2015 12:32:33 GMT

return code is 0

Re: workflow not showing attachment

safeer_shah2 — Mon, 09 Feb 2015 12:33:02 GMT

Re: workflow not showing attachment

safeer_shah2 — Mon, 09 Feb 2015 12:33:56 GMT

Hi,

Where did you checking for attachments?

Is there any entry in ATTACH_OBJECTS workflow container?

Actually you need to bind the Workflow ATTACH_OBJECTS container to Task ATTACH_OBJECTS container.

Thanks,

Vijay.

Re: workflow not showing attachment

safeer_shah2 — Mon, 09 Feb 2015 12:52:44 GMT

the function module is returning the document id, how I can bind the containers , can you guide me ?

Re: workflow not showing attachment

safeer_shah2 — Mon, 09 Feb 2015 12:56:07 GMT

the system is showing document ID

Hi Shah,

I hope your are trying to attach the attachment to Top work item. In this case, once the method executed, the attachments will be added to parent work item as below.

Then you have to bind as below to the required step[Approval Step / Send mail] step.

Thanks,

Vijay.

CALL FUNCTION 'SWW_WI_ENABLE'

What does that do?

...and why are you doing EN/DEQUEUE?

WAPIs do their own transaction management, which you could be interfering with. Just call the WAPI with the commit flag set.

Hi Safeer,

Make sure that you are passing the correct workitem ID in the function module to add attachement.

Also, please have a look at below link. This might help you :
