Travel expenses : Follow on task

[Zmudzin,Tomasz,VEVEY,GL-DS/DM]

It would -- as long as the "Save" occurs within a workflow. From the context
provided I understand that the expense form completion is started as a
stand-alone transaction by selecting some menu path / transaction code. In
this way the popup would be the first dialog step in the workflow -- so
there would be no task on which this flag could be set.
 
If that's the case, we're back to an old discussion that appeared on this
list in the beginning of this year (you can check the archives at
http://www.webflow.com/MITWorkflow/wfsearch.asp; look for subject "Executing
A Workitem Automatically").
 
In short -- what you're asking for is functionally a part of the
application, not of the resulting workflow. What you need is a change to the
screen / dialog sequence within your form maintenance, and workflow has
never been designed to handle this. You'll be much better off coding a user
exit / BADI.
 
Kind regards,
Tomasz.

Hi John,
Assuming that the user is the selected agent for this task (this is true if
they can get to the work item in the Business Workplace), you may want to
check that the 'Advance with Immediate Dialog' flag is checked in the
standard task.  This should take the user right in.

Hi experts
 
Any help on the following
 
I have a travel expense workflow which is started by the event 'changed' or
'created'. I have a new method which provides a Pop-up to the user to see if
the claim is ready for Approval, here is my problem, I want this pop-up to
appear automatically to the user as soon as he saves his expenses form,
i.e. I don't want the user to have to go to his inbox to process the task.
 
Any help on how I achieve this ??
 
Thanks in advance
 
John
