SRM(EBP) work item in Enterprise Portal 6.0's UWL<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>Hello Jocelyn,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I identified the task (TS........) I needed from the XML file
generated after registering the SRM system in the UWL Administration. Then I
copied the section of the XML with the task, and used it to create a custom
XML file (I followed documentation from SDN and help.sap). I didnt create an
XML file from scratch.</DIV>
<DIV>However, the ITS txn (BBP_QUOT_EXTWF) that should launch the work item
from the UWL (EP6.0 SP9) didnt display when the work item is executed, instead
a blank screen is displayed. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Then I replaced that txn with BBPAPPROVAL in the XML , and when the work
item is executed in the UWL, the Approval Inbox in the SRM is displayed with
all the work items. </DIV>
<DIV>Hence, the user has to execute the work item in the SRM Inbox (the second
time) before the Approval screen is displayed.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The iview that displays the Approval Inbox is the UWL Launch MiniApp.
</DIV>
<DIV>I'd like to know the difference between BBPAPPROVAL and
BBP_QUOT_EXTWF, and why the UWL Launch MiniApp iview could not generate
the BBP_QUOT_EXTWF.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks in advance.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>

<DIV>Hello Krishna,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I tried the BBPAPPROVAL, and it works just fine. However it still shows
all the work items fom the Inbox. The solution I want to implement should
display the Approval Window of one work item (bbp_quot_extwf) once the work
item is executed in the UWL.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have used this <STRONG>bbp_quot_extwf</STRONG> the same way I
used <STRONG>bbpapproval </STRONG>and<STRONG> bbpbwsp,</STRONG> but
the work items are not displayed at all.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>What's the difference between these set of transactions, and which
transactions are considered as MiniApps?</DIV>
<DIV>Thanks in advance.</DIV>

<DIV>Thanks a lot. I was able to locate the iview, the screenshot

<DIV>Here's a list of the actions I have undertaken thus

<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>1) Configured the UWL to display the SAP Inbox (SAP GUI for
HTML is the default-SWK1)</DIV>
<DIV>2)Configured the XML for the registered work items to display

the portal</DIV>
<DIV>4) Used the UWL-Launch MiniApp to display the ITS

<DIV>My questions are: </DIV>
<DIV>1) How does the UWL- Launch SAP Transaction or UWL -Launch

<DIV>2) Is there anyone in the forum who has configured the UWL to
display the SRM Web Inbox, and executed them from the portal, and

<DIV>I have configured the UWL in Enterprise Portal 6.0
using a "How To" document from the SDN, as well as the SAP

<DIV>The work items in the UWL Inbox are SAP GUI for HTML.
However, I want to display work items from the SRM's Inbox

that use business HTML, are generated from the

major problems when used in the SBWP.

converted from the SAP Office inbox to the UWL
with the implementation of the SAP Portal.
The big plus for users here is one stop shopping,
i.e., all SAP Office inboxes (R/3, EBP, ESS) are
now available in one place. Before, users
had to enter via SBWP to approve separately in
each system. The biggest negative with the
UWL is the loss of the "advance with dialog"
feature. We've had to write custom code to
compensate for this. I think this is a major
loss, although I haven't seen any other complaints
on WUG on the topic. </SPAN></FONT></P>

<P style="MARGIN-LEFT: 1in"><FONT face=Arial
size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">We are using
Portal 6.0, and because of unfamiliarity, etc.,
etc., we had replaced the Universal Work List
(UWL) with the SAP Business Workplace (transaction
SBWP) using Windows HTML GUI. We have a
handful of workflow approval tasks (PR approvals,
Fixed Asset retirement approvals, Absence Request
approvals, etc.) that we route to people in their
Workflow Inboxes, which should be available with
either "tool". </SPAN></FONT></P>
<P style="MARGIN-LEFT: 1in"><FONT face=Arial
size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">We are in the
process of moving from SAP R/3 4.6B to MySAP ERP
(ECC 5.0). In light of this, I have been
asked to provide pros and cons regarding replacing
the Business Workplace with the UWL, since the UWL
is the default tool in Portal. Do any of you
have any strong arguments either for or against
the use of UWL as opposed to the Business
Workplace? Some of our users really like the
ability to do their automatic forwarding,
substitution maintenance, outbox maintenance,
etc., from Portal. Most of these things
especially don't seem to be available in the UWL.
