Overall Release of Purchase Requisitions using Workflow Templ ate WS20000077

[Raskin, Alon (Soliance)]

OK... I am not really hearing what I need....
 
Lets clarify a few things. Event Linkage and Event Log are different things.
Event Linkage is transaction SWETYPV and Event Log is transaction SWEL. I am
interested in the entries that are created when you Release a Purchase Req.
To verify this you should go ahead and create a Purchase Requisition and
then execute transaction SWEL. What are the entries that are created in
there? Do they have any errors? Does it say "Receiver started correctly"? If
there are no errors in the event log then you should be able to double click
on Receiver ID field and it should take you straight to the Work Item
display. From there you should be able to click on LOG and it will take you
to the workflow log. From there you can see if the WF is in error, or if
there are agent assigned, etc.
 
Let me know how you go.

Hi Alon,
 
I have run through your ideas and the only time I can trigger the workflow
and
therefore see anything in the log is when I start the workflow in test. I
have
checked the event linkages and they seem ok. There are no errors appearing
in my
inbox either.
 
thanks
Paul.

Paul, Let me throw my five cents worth in here....
 
Is the event being triggered? Regardless of your actual workflow or the
event linkage, is there an entry created in the event log when you create a
Purchase Req?
If it is then I assume you have checked the event linkage and it is all OK.
Check the event binding because if there is a mandatory importing parameter
missing then the workflow will not start (you should be notified of errors
in your SAP inbox - now called Business Workplace).
 
If the linking is fine and active, then tell me this : What do you see when
you display the workflow log? Or are there no entries there? If there are no
entries there then what does the event log say? Does it say 'Receiver
Started Correctly'?
 
Also, in the HR Org ensure that the positions have the tasks assigned to
them that they will be executing.
 
Give all that a try, if it doesn't work then send another email. There are a
few other things we should try.

Hi Sue,
 
I have checked the points you have suggested and they are as you advise. I
have
retested the workflow and it still isn't triggered.
 
Back to the drawing board I guess.
 
thanks
Paul.

      Template              WS20000077
 
 
Hi Paul,
 
First off, I would check that the event linkage is activated.  Use
transaction SWETYPV to check that there is an entry in this table for your
business object BUS2015, RELEASESTEPCREATED, and that the 'enabled' switch
is ticked.  Once this is done, your workflow should be triggered when you
create the requisition.
 
Also, with this switch enable, it could solve the problem of the req not
going to the next level (but I plead ignorance here, as I am not familiar
with this template.
 
Good Luck
Sue
