<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Hey All,</font><br><br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I have tried posting to this user group
1 time before with this question, but but I wasn't a member at the time
and I get a "bad confirmation string" when I check the bounce.
It's been > 3 days so I'm guessing the first mail is gone. I
hope I'm not double-posting or causing problems by trying again.</font><br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">-----------------------------</font><br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Anyhoo...</font><br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I am working on a "new materials"
workflow that has several (let's call them) processes.</font><br><br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">The first process is that a new material
master record is created and some work items go out to various users to
adjust the material with some specific information. No problem here.</font><br><br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">As a second process, I would like to
wait for a scheduling agreement (purchase order) for this new material
to be created and some more work items sent out to adjust the scheduling
agreement and a few other things associated with the material. This
is where I have my problem. At the time the wait step is created,
I do not have an object in the container to represent the scheduling agreement
(because it isn't created yet). Further, I believe the key for any
scheduling agreement event uses the document number and does not include
the material. So how would I create some kind of wait step for something
like this? </font><br><br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">The scheduling agreement references
material numbers in each line item, but a wait step seems to need the key
of a scheduling agreement in order to know that a specific event is meant
for a specific workflow instance.</font><br><br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">The users are definitely not looking
for a general scheduling agreement workflow (that would affect all new
scheduling agreements) - only scheduling agreements for new materials.</font><br><br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I have looked into something called
a "correlation", but so far I have not gotten it to work, and
I'm not sure if it even will. </font><br><br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Any suggestions?</font><br><br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">... or maybe this doesn't make sense
to anyone...<br></font><font size=4 color=#808000><b> </b></font><p><font size=4 color=#808000><b>Michael McLey</b></font><font size=3 color=#808000><b></b><br>MBUSI - IT Parts & Administration </font><font size=2 color=#808000><br>Mercedes-Benz US International, Inc.</font><font size=3 color=#808000></font><font size=2 color=#808000><br>1 Mercedes Drive</font><font size=3 color=#808000> </font><font size=2 color=#808000><br>Vance, AL 35490</font><font size=3 color=#808000> </font><font size=2 color=#808000><br>PHONE: (205) 462 - 5239</font><font size=3 color=#808000> </font><font size=2 color=#808000><br>EMAIL: michael.mcley@daimler.com</font><font size=3 color=#808000>
