<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Hello Dear Workflow'ers,</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">It's been quite a while since I've been here, glad to re-join the list !</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Here is the question:</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">We are on ECC 6.00, WAS 7, support package 0007</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I've created a very simple workflow for FI documents that allows a user to send a document for processing via the generic services for object in the relevant transactions.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">The object type is BKPF and for example the WF can be started from transaction FB03 via the menu: System -> Services for object -> Workflow -> Start workflow.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">The workflow starts OK and the initiator can see all the details in his workflow outbox.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">The first step in the workflow is a simple display step based on BKPF.DISPLAY method.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Now, the problem is that when the first user gets the task, it appears to have no object assigned to the _WI_OBJECT_ID element.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">This is not a binding problem, because when the initiator looks at the log, everything seems ok and the container element is filled correctly, all texts appearing OK etc.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Only when the actual agent gets the workitem in his inbox, it appears without the object.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Both users have SAP_ALL & SAP_NEW authorization profiles.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">When looking at the workitem from the initiator outbox, the _WI_OBJECT_ID element is filled correctly.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">When looking at the same workitem from the agent inbox the _WI_OBJECT_ID looks like this:</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Expression Values</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">_WI_OBJECT_ID BKPF:10100003800000262006</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial"> Company code <not set></FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial"> Doc. Number <not set></FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial"> Fiscal year <not set></FONT></SPAN></P>
<BR>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">You can see that strangely the value appears at the header of the object but the attributes don't get filled with data.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">If I look at the log of the same workitem from the initiator outbox it seems ok with all the data.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">However If I look at the workitem from one of the WF reports (SWI2_FREQ) with any of the users, it appears faulty without the data.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Again, all binding is correct and double - triple checked.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Any clue for this strange behavior ?</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Thank you very much for your help !</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Best regards,</FONT></SPAN></P>
