Executing Work Item of workflow in background

[Former Member]

Hi

I have requirement of executing Workflow in the background. Here is the situation

We have implemented the Workflow and each WI is sent to different users, when user take an action on WI. He gets three option (manual decisions) . The WF takes him to different activities based upon his decision.

eg There are options like Approve PR, Reject PR, Send the PR back .

Now when he selects any of the option he takes different decisions.

Now my requirement is I have to execute these actions from SAP Enterprise Portal. We dont want the user to go through the traditional SAP ITS screens. We have developed screens in BSP. Now in portal we will show him his WI and we will show three buttons, as soon as he clicks on the choice the same action should be triggered in SAP WF and WI should get executed.

We tried some FM but all of them opens the dialog mode to ask the user for his decision.Please give us a solution where we can execute the WF just by clicking one button (not in dialog mode)

As we are using BSP we can call any program or transaction in SAP.

If this approach is not correct please suggest us some other solution where we can give user a different look and feel and layout of SAP inbox and execute WI from there.

Any luck with this workflow? I have a similar situation wherein I want to create a list of worklist items. Each Item can be Approved or Denied. Instead of creating a custom JSP page, is there a way to use any existing component in the Portal?

Found a solution yet for the scenario described? I am faced with quite similar situation.

Thanks

Did you try universal worklist?

Yes I checked that also. In UWL you we have to go through the ITS screens, even in the latest version if we try to launch a new iView for approval or execution of WI, and we develop the iView using WAS or java we will be at the same point where we need to trigger the WF when user clicks on approve button.Again some FM or RFC should be called. And moreover in UWL we can not control the WI details shown and other details, we have requirement to show the WI with more elaborate informations.
