Creating an event to invoke a workflow each time a field valu e changes

Tue Aug 5 20:39:01 EDT 2003

Dear Manju,

The priority field on the notification is QMEL-PRIOK .
The VIQMEL is view. There is no field PRIORK.

The change document does support the field.
The customizing of change documents does support
condition field value triggering.
Please revisit the customizing and help.

You should be able to achieve what was originally described
via transaction SWEC.

There are lots of ways to raise events. Perhaps you should do a bit more reading... there's a fair bit on this in the SAP Library help under Basis > Business Management > Workflow. You'll also find info on the change documents there.  If the field is not part of the change document is generally for a good reason so suggest you look elsewhere. Status management is always a good one for notifications. Regards,

No VIQMEL-PRIORK is not part of the change document.  I am trying to get that in place by going to SCDO.  However, I was wondering if there was any other alternative.

Any other ways of invoking an event other than change document?  Also looks like a defining in SCDO forces all fields to be on the change documents created.  Can I restrict to VIQMEL-PRIORK only on the change document? thanks manju "Dart, Jocelyn" <jocelyn.dart at sap.com> wrote: Of course if VIQMEL-PRIORK is part of a change document you could simply use the change document event creation configuration (its in the workflow menu > definition tools > events) instead of coding stuff.

Manju,

A WAPI is a workflow API (application programming interface) that performs a specific function (peace of code that does something related to workflow). Within an ABAP program you can use this f.i. to trigger an event. Maybe there is a simpler solution to trigger your event in case the field has been changed, I do not know. Hope someone else can help you out with this one.

Regards,

Fred Kouw
