I use virtual attribute quite often and it works OK. However I have one client where I suspect having performance issues with virtual attributes. Example: Simple approval workflow, agent is determined using a rule. Rule container if filled from BOR virtual attribute. Often the workflow goes into error for "Agent determination failed". I click "Restart after error" and now all works well. In addition, the problem only happens in production system. To me it feels like sometimes virtual attributes are not calculated immediately. This client posts many transactions every day but I believe SAP should know to handle it<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:blue'>I would also like to mention that the virtual attribute code is quite simple (no select statement or such).<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:blue'> <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:blue'>Has anyone experienced something like this before? any recommendations?
