SM58 to make sure that you don't have any errors in delivering the
events? </span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>Ideally you should be able to track this
down in your DEV or QA environments by using the event trace and logs, but if
you are unable to do so, you can turn on the event trace in production (Tcode
SWELS) but I would limit it to your specific object type and then check your
event trace (SWEL) after a PO is released and see if you can spot anything
there. You should turn the event trace off as soon as your can, so it does
not fill up the logs.</span></font></p>

style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Could someone please explain what
the necessary branches (on the control pane of fork definition - end
condition) means? I have 3 branches and need to make sure the WF listens for
two events while it is doing normal WF steps on the third parallel branch. I
need the workflow to go to those branches when it hears those events.
Currently, I am noticing it listens to one event in some cases and both events
in most cases. </span></font></p>

style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Issue at hand: I have a PO that is
released and the terminating event for the step is RELEASED but the step is
still in 'started' status and I see the PO is already released. Even when it is
released directly in ME29N, it should receive the event and that branch should
start. I looked at the technical details of WF log but don't see anything
regarding which event was raised (which I see when I look at another instance
that worked as expected). How would I check if an event (that was supposed to
trigger) did or did not trigger? Is there some report that will help me
analyze this?</span></font></p>
