WorkFlow: Mail not received by approver

[AB069]

Hi Experts,

I am new to workflow. I use Mail Step to sent mail to different user in SAP inbox. There are different level of approval in my workflow. so i create table in the Business object and fill with approver IDs. When i use this table in the Mail steps as expression. Mail didnt go to any of the user.

Please suggest where i am getting wrong.

Thanks

Hi Imran,

You need to pass the value of that attribute to your workflow container to use it later in further steps.

The workflow container retains the values as long as the workflow's existence.

You can either create a new attribute to the business object that you are using and can pass the 'ztotal' attribute value in 1st approval or wherever you want to the workflow container.

And later in whatever activity step you want, you can fetch it back from the container.

Please ensure creation of proper binding of the workflow container with your activity step.

Hi Imran,

What is the condition that you actually want to put?

As you told before that it is :

Condition is

&ZSAM_OBJECT.ZUSER_RSM& = &Flag_X&

But in your above reply, I can see that the condition you have maintained is :

&RSM_X& = X.

Maybe you are not putting the condition right.

When you put any condition, by merely doing a double click on the indicator fields it should show something like :

Hi Dev,

Is it possible to execute the dicision step in Workflow when the status change in Web UI.

Please suggest.

Thanks

Hi Imran,

You need to create an Action for it which gets triggered on the condition which you will give in it.

In your case you can give the status id ( eg E0002 ) in the condition for thr action and assign it to your transaction.

Hi Dev , Satish

I found that even i set 'X' value to flag, the condition is giving error.  Its mean system not reading the attribute. Please below is the way i define condition. please let me know where i am getting

wrong.

Please note : RSM_X is WF attribute , initial value set to X.

Thanks

Imran

[devashish_bhattacharya]

Hi Imran,

Can you show where the attribute is in the container?

Devashish

[AB069]

Thanks Devashish, Satish for your response.

I checked. Value is set to X.

Is there any other way to resolve this. Its giving error in workflow when condition is ture.

Thanks

Imran

Hi Devashish,

In the beginnning of WF i have condition check. Its always pass when the condition is FALSE but when the condition is TRUE its give an error message "Error when starting a CASE branch".

Condition is            &ZSAM_OBJECT.ZUSER_RSM& = &Flag_X&

&ZSAM_OBJECT.ZUSER_RSM& is Business Object attribute set to 'X' on condition satisfy.

&Flag_X& is constant value 'X'.

I check container value both having same value i.e. 'X' and both parameter are same type.

Please suggest. How can we resolve this.

Many Thanks for your support,

Imran

In SWI1 only, there is a selection criteria for status just choose this one and execute :

Thanks Devashish, Dipika

Its very helpful. One Doubth. I have a 5 level of approval in WF.

In the begenning of WF i am calculate total price of all line item and assign into business 'ztotal' attribute and after 2rd or 3rd approval level agent can delete or add line item.

Now the question is , This 'ztotal' will update its value or not. beacuse i have to use the updated total in the 4th level of approval.

Please suggest.

Thanks

Hi Imran,

It will not update attribute. You need to update your custom elements using activity step before 4th approval step.

[devashish_bhattacharya]

Hi Imran,

You need to create a custom rule and assign it in that particular decision step of yours . You can use the below link to check how to create a custom rule :

SAPTechnical.COM Defining custom rules for use with SAP Workflow

Please fetch all your approvers in the function module that you will use inside this rule.
