<BR>Hi,<BR>
<BR>
No doubt, of course, you've checked your event linkages and made sure you only have 1 Receiver active for the event (seen that happen a lot because of test linkages on delegated objects). An event trace might show up multiple linkages if you can risk turning SWELS on for a bit.<BR>
<BR>
Assuming you have, this sounds like a issue with the standard SAP HR code being triggered twice synchronously and processed faster than the WAPI can read the database.<BR>
<BR>
We sometimes see this on high volume systems where COMMIT WORK statements (executed implicitly inside the code) aren't quite enough and you really need COMMIT WORK AND WAIT statements in the code (which SAP don't do that often).<BR>
<BR>
As a test you could implement a simple check Function Module against your event linkage in SWETYPV and put a break-point inside it and see when and how the event is triggered by the transaction. You might just spot a loop or something, unless the event is being issued asynchronously.<BR>
<BR>
Perhaps by using the event queue you could introduce a small enough delay to give the database more time to update the tables so that the WAPI has more of a chance to find the record, but seeing as the events are likely to be published in the same LUW I doubt it would help that much.<BR>
<BR>
If it is a SAP problem you might want to abandon the SAP event altogether (unless they provide a fix) and publish your own single event in a suitable exit somewhere. Sometimes SAP insist on raising multiple events during a session because that's the way they want to model the outcome of that LUW, so the multiple events you are seeing may actually be what they intend to happen rather than be down to a bug. In which case the event might not be the most appropriate way to trigger your Workflow.<BR>
