Output type with medium '9' not determined automatically

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have the following problem.

At the site I'm currently working I have to trigger a workflow from the output fro sales orders.

So I have set up the output type with medium '9' ('Events- SAP Business Workflow').

In the condition maintenance ( VV12 ) I have added the object type as well as the event that is linked with the object type and triggers the workflow.

I have tested the workflow and it works fine. ( bpth trigger as well as the functionality ).

The problem however is that the output type is not determined automatically any longer in the transaction to create / change sales orders ( VA01/VA02 ). In the determination log I see the message that the object type send to output determination is empty ( while in VV12 I filled it in (=VBAP)! ) and therefor the system is not able to check that the event is correct ( he shows the correct event though ! ).

When I manually enter the output type, he accepts it but does not copy automatically the event ( he fills in the object type VBAP though ! ) in the communication window. When I enter the event manually, he accpets this again and everything works fine.

So the major question that I have is why doesn't he default this automatically ( object type and event ).

Can somebody help me out here ?

When I use medium '1' (print) in the condition record, the automatical determination works fine.

So it definatelly has something to do with the fact that I enter medium '9' in my condition record.

Thanks in advance.

Hello Erwin,

I know this is an incredibly old post, but I am wondering if you found a resolution to this issue. I have the same issue and cannot determine why I can see the enter in NAST for an output resulting from a condition record set as medium 9 with timing of 3. If I am in display mode of the sales order I can see it and also see the record in NAST. Like you, if I change the medium to Print, it proposes as expected in VA01, VA02, VA03. If I have the medium of 9, and change the timing to 4, my workflow process executes as expected.

Please let me know if you have any thoughts on how to resolve.

Thanks!

Jan
