Unable to determine agent from role

[Becker Stephan (extern)]

Jose,
in test mode, straight after you think the authorisation check failed, =
use
transaction /nsu53 to determine what objects were checked and with what
result.

Subject: Unable to determine agent from role
 
 
Hi everyone
 
Hope some-one can help.
 
We are using a SAP standard workflow when transferring staff between
companies (WS01000014). How it works it that an authorised person in =
company
A will select the person to be transferred, and the person ID to whom =
it
must go an company B (from org management transaction PPOM). The person =
in
company B enters the desired position and this then triggers a =
subworkflow
(WS01000077) which is supposed to send the work item to the person in =
charge
of the transferred employee (this is picked up from maintaining a field =
in
infotype 0001 and table T526). The task uses role 01000003 which uses
function module RP_GET_PERS_CLERK to get the agent. The workflow falls =
over
on this step (step no 262 in the subworkflow) with the error "Step
0000000262 of WS01000077: Binding from workflow to role aborted =
Problems
establishing agents for step 0000000262 of WS01000077". I've checked in =
the
container and the information required for the role is there, and that =
the
binding is correct. What I did next was send an employee from a =
"problem"
user id to myself, and the workflow completes normally. Doing it the =
other
way round, ie from me to the "problem" userid results in the error. I
suspect this is an authorization issue. Am I correct in assuming this? =
If
this is the case, how can I determine what authorizations are missing?
 
Thanks for the time and trouble.
 
Regards
