<html><div style='background-color:'><P>Thanks for that vital piece of Info. natasha, but this manager thing was hazy for me in this workflow. We maintained a manager for creator of the purchase order, but the approval work item never went to him....that's why this whole post on WUG...to get a little more clarity. Shouldn't the work item go to the manager of the person who creates the purchase order?....</P>
<P>Regards,</P>

<P><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">Hi,</SPAN></FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">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 help me out it'd be great.</SPAN></FONT></P>
