Flexible Workflow Steps and Approval Logic

[Elyas-Alaei]

I have configured flexible workflow for purchase requisitions. But when I try to create a different workflow through the Fiori APP "mange flexible workflow for purchase requisition" and set steps and assign usernames, all users which are in fact valid result in an error in the app : "Invalid Username". Can anyone help on this issue?

I have also another question:

It seems that we can define steps and assign users to them. so what is the usage of the configuration node in release strategy (the last step in set up procedure with classification which is called workflow) where we assign users to every release code in release groups? Is there any relation between approval steps in workflow and and release codes and release groups in release strategy?

Hello Again

Thanks a lot for the link. We have implemented HR completely a few years ago and concepts like personnel administration and organizational data are implemented and currently in use. In addition, all the steps mentioned in the link including maintenance of records of table V_T77S0 and program /SHCM/RH_SYNC_BUPA_EMPL_SINGLE are okay but in transaction SLG1 i get the following errors in log:
HCM001 identification Category Type is missing. (Message No. /SHCM/EMPLOYEE_BL069)
&
HCM001 Address Type is missing. (Message No. /SHCM/EMPLOYEE_BL070)
and still can not assign any user name to a workflow step and get the error "invalid username"
Would you please further guide me on the issue please?

@Elyas: I think you need to check the HR setup. But unfortunately that is not my core. But you can check the note https://userapps.support.sap.com/sap/support/knowledge/en/2578294 which addresses a lot of issues of with the replication of the HR to business partner.
