Booking a participation without approval in LSO

[Former Member]

Hello All,

Can we book a participation without waiting for manager's approval in LSO workflow? Currently, we are using a custom workflow (which is a copy of WS12000003 with some additional steps) and using task TS12000002  to book the participation in background. But we have a requirement to book the participation without approval from a manager and just send notification to manager after the participation has been booked. So if I exclude the approval step from workflow and use the step with task TS12000002, ERROROCCURED field is returning 1. How could I make this work?

Thanks,

Suma

Hi Suma,

You have to debug the relevant method, to identify the actual issue.

Go to transaction SWO1 and debug the method ParticipationCreate of business object  LSO_PARTIC.

Hi Vijay,

Thanks for the reply. I debugged and found that I was not passing plan version and hence the method was returning error all the time.

Thanks,

Hello Suma !

          If the requirement is just to send notification to manager on booking the participant, no need to customize the standard workflow by taking a copy of it.

          Book the participant from transaction say LSO_PSV1. Hope the event BOOKREQUEST of the business object LSO_PARTIC would trigger. If so, develop a workflow linking the triggered event, create a background step to identify manager user id provided it would vary depending on criteria like course, employee etc and below this step include a mail step and send notification.

          If manager will be always same, send mail using function module SWE_EVENT_MAIL by configuring it in SWETYPV transaction.
