for that vital piece of Info. natasha, but this manager thing was hazy for me

<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>This is
regarding SRM workflow task WS14500019.<br>
It's for Transfer Purchase Order response data purchase order.<br>
The input comes from XI. But the workflow fails in it's 2nd step 'Transfer
Purchase Order Response'.<br>
Saying no agent present. Ther's no specific agent determination using PFAC or
anything like that. It's only an expression - Looking at the agent it's a
multiline structure that inherits from a workflow container element called<br>
ANGENT_0001. The type of this structure is APCOAGENT. Now I don't have any idea
how to initialize this APCOAGENT business object type...and find out how to
populate agents for this workflow. If anybody who's had such a situation could
