Reading document number after event 5500 FPE1

[Former Member]

Hi,

I'm using event 5500 called during FPE1 to do some checks. Based on those checks, I do a "perform start_wf on commit". Within this I call 'SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT' to trigger my event and eventually my workflow. Now, I'm exporting some fields to global memory for use in the form but I don't have access to the document # since that hasnt been created as yet in event 5500. How can I get the 'opbel' in my form?

thanks!

My current workaround has been to utilize event 0030 to get the newly generated document number and export to memory. I then import the doc # back from memory in my "perform on commit" routine and trigger my event. But, since this may not be the most efficient solution, I'm open to any alternate ideas ?!

Hi,

SAP standard gives you an option of triggering a WF in this event. When a new Document is created through FPE1 event 'ApprovalRequired' for BOR Object CA_DOC is triggered. In this event in, just pass 1 to field e_c4eye to trigger this event.

Then attach your custom WF in transaction code SWE2 to the event. When WF is triggered, pass the parameter EVTOBJECT of type BOR Object CA_DOC. this by default will give you the document number in WF to play with.

Hope it helps. Please reply back in case of concerns.

Thanks.

Thanks Ravi. I was able to get a workaround using event 0030 to get the document number. I'm using the event 5501 to trigger the workflow but I need to trigger workflow based on the value of the payment method at item level and hence I'm using a custom Z event instead of CA_DOC.
