AW: check function module in 40B

[Becker Stephan (extern)]

It is correct that you cannot read the document type because the object =
is
not on the database yet. The check function module runs in the context =
of
the caller (i.e. usually the update task that is booking your =
document), and
a wait statement will do nothing but hold up the update on the =
database.
It's like you're queueing to meet someone who's standing behind you in =
the
queue..
If you can, pass the document type into the event container from the =
calling
program and read it making sure you convert the container to and from
persistent (use the appropriate macro commands). Or you can try using =
the
object attribute, that should (not 100% sure here) read it from memory
rather than the db.
 
Hth,
Stephan

I think that this occurs because the database "commit" for the creation =
of
the PR in EBAN is not yet done at the moment the check FM is called (I =
have
already seen that problem with a create event for an invoice). If I =
remember
well, the problem was raised on this list by one of my colleagues, and =
the
solution was to put some kind of "wait" statement in the check FM =
before the
selection on BKPF (sorry that I cannot be more explicit, I am not an =
ABAP
expert and did not apply the solution myself). In your case the same
statement should be inserted before the selection on EBAN.
 
I hope this will help.
 
Kind regards,

Hi friends,
I use a check FM for a workflow.
After event "PR created" is triggered, I check document type of PR.
For certain Doc Type of PR  Workflow should be started.
 
the event container gives Pr number.I use the number to find PR doc =
type
from EBAN.
But doc type is not returned...it gives me empty string.
 
wot could be wrong?
 
Alttough it works fine during Explicit Generate Event tool..
 
thanks in Advance,
 
Viraj
