CA_DOC is part of the FI-CA (as opposed to FI-CO) module. It tends to be
used in Industry specific solutions like IS-U, etc.

Paul,
A better way would be to make your create task async and have it
terminate on the Created event of CA_DOC. Then you can bind the CA_DOC
object to WF and do away with the generic instantiate. (I do not have
CA_DOC object on our system either. So, I do not know if a Created
event is published for the object or how much effort is needed to
publish it.)
Best Regards,
Ramki Maley,
WF Consultant.

Mark,
Thanks for that. I've solved the problem now, but in a fairly ugly
way.. I
put a 'Requested Start' of "+1 minute" on the workitem that does the
instantiation. By the time ithe workitem executes, the CA_DOC has been
created and the instantation works.
FYI: the object CA_DOC is specific to Contract Accounting (or PSCD)
cheers - and thanks,

G'day Paul,
You're on the right path. I don't seem to have an object type of
CA_DOC in
my ECC system so I can't comment on specifics.
Have you tried just testing the SYSTEM method from SWO1?? If you've
got the
key right you should be get an object link back that you can double
click
into to confirm that it's worked happily.
Good luck,
Mark

Workflow Gurus,
I have a custom workflow which, after seeking agent approval, creates
an
object (a document of type CA_DOC).
I would like to attach an instance of the created object to the
workflow,
so that 'object services' can be used later.
To do this, I added a custom step which calls the method
SYSTEM.GENERICINSTANTIATE . Apparently if you pass the object key (and
object type) to this method, it instantiates the object. This is then
passed back to the workflow container.
At least, that's what I hoped it would do! In practice the workflow
goes
into error with message OL808: "Object with runtime number '0' not
defined"
When I try to view the new CA_DOC object (via FPE3), it does not
exist. I
suspect this is because the workflow went into error... it didn't get a
chance to save the document.
And yet, if I run the workflow without the extra GENERECINSTANTIATE
step,
it works fine.
Does anyone have any idea what the problem is? Could it be that a
'COMMIT
WORK' needs to be done before trying to instantiate the new object? Is
there a workflow step for doing that?
Or am I just being stupid. Is there a much easier way to attach an
object
to a workflow via a background step?
merci
Paul Bakker
