Changing workflow container value

[Kevin]

Thanks Jocelyn,
You're correct in that I only want to populate one screen for 1 plant.
I have no problem coding my own methods, but for some reason my subtype off
of BUS1001006 (which is a subtype itself of BUS1001) called ZBUS100106 that
has my custom method in to populate the required view is not made available
to me when I enter BUS1001006 as the object in the task definition.
If I could get around THIS issue I wouldn't be having this problem.
Thanks in advance.
Kevin

Hi Kevin,
 
The idea with CREATEVIEWS is to first call the method GETMISSEDVIEWS which
builds
the VIEWLISTLINE entries as object references to object MOFF.   The missed
views
are then used to create the new views in method CREATEVIEWS. If VIEWLISTLINE
is
empty the method goes and gets all the missed views from database table MOFF
anyway.
 
So I guess what you are saying is that you only want to create the missed
views
for a particular maintenancestatus and plant?
 
So your best bet is probably to:
1. Call GETMISSEDVIEWS
2. Filter out all the entries that don't apply to your maintenance status
and plant.
You'll probably need to create your own method to do this. (There are other
ways
but a custom method might be simplest).
3. Call CREATEVIEWS with the filtered list.
 
Alternatively you could create your own custom method equivalent of
GETMISSEDVIEWS
that only retrieves MOFF entries for the maintenancestatus and plant input.
 
I think either way you are going to need to do some coding. If you don't
feel
confident doing that you might need to call in a more experienced workflow
developer or SAP workflow consultant to help.

 We are using object BUS1001006 (Standard Material) with standard method
(CREATEVIEWS).
The workflow has an element in the container called VIEWLISTLINE which is of
type MOFF (outstanding views).
I need to set the values MAINTENANCESTATUS and PLANT to a constant value.
They're a part of the VIEWLISTLINE structure. What's the best way to do
this?
