Hello, <BR>
<BR>
SAP team has developed '2 stage bid approval workflow' as per our client's requirement. This workflow is working fine in development system but facing following problem in production system. <BR>
<BR>
After 2nd stage approval is processed, workflow in going into error and hence bid status remains unchanged. However it is not <BR>
hampering further process and allows us to create PO or Contract. <BR>
Please find below steps we are following... <BR>
1. Bid invitation creation by initiator. <BR>
2. Bid acceptance and submission by Vendor <BR>
3. Purchaser/initiator accepts the bid. - Workflow gets triggered. <BR>
4. First Level Approval is done. <BR>
5. Second level approval is done. After this Workflow gets triggeres in background and follows below sequence... <BR>
a. Update Bid During Approval/Rejection - Here workflow is going into <BR>
error. <BR>
b. Set status of bid to 'Released' - Workflow is going into error. <BR>
c. Sub Workflow gets triggered to send automatic mail to initiator. <BR>
- Here Sub workflow cannot get triggered since earlier event is not <BR>
completed. <BR>
6. Purchaser/Initiator can create Po or Contract.- <BR>
No problem in carrying out this activity but Workflow status is not <BR>
changed to 'Completed'. <BR>
<BR>
Till the 2nd approval is done applet is showing right status but after 2nd approval, it is again showing again the intial status which is really strange. <BR>
<BR>
Most important thing we have observed that if manually restart this <BR>
workflow again, which is in error, with transaction SWPR, then it is <BR>
going ahead with no errors. <BR>
We have compared the status in Development and Production and found that it is the same. <BR>
<BR>
Has anyone experinced such kind of problem? <BR>
Awaiting for your reply... Thanks. <BR>
<BR>
