<p class=MsoPlainText>Nat,<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoPlainText>The field (LIFNR) in the container element embedded in
the workflow<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>container through binding is the same as the field in the
container element<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>in the rule. When I checked the task I created I
noticed it did not have a<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>container element for vendor so I created one. I
also checked "Terminate<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>if rule resolution without result." I
refreshed the system in SWU_OBUF and<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>tested the scenario with the following result:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>Five separate responsibilities have been created in Rule
90300001. The<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>responsibilities have priorities from 1 to 5 and I have
checked "Consider<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>Secondary Priorities." The test scenario on a
Price Block WF for vendor #2<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>resulted in the work item getting assigned to the highest
priority 5 even<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>though that position is only responsible for vendor
#69. The work item<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>should have been assigned to the position with the
priority of 1. I have<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>also tested this with setting all priorities to 99 which
resulted in the<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>work item getting assigned to all the positions listed in
the rule.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>For some reason it doesn't seem to want to select the
specific position<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>assigned to the vendor associated with the Price Block
Workflow. Thanks<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>for your insight and for taking the time to reply.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoPlainText>I have checked "consider secondary priorities"
