Tue Dec 2 10:50:11 EST 2003

The procedure written from deidre_logan at goodyear.com below will work very
fine, if you additionaly implement SAP Note 413478.

Firstly, thank you all for your replies.
In SWEC I can't find FAKTBELEG, so not sure if I can use this anyway.

In answer to your question Karen, I'm not sure if a workflow is needed,
that's what I was asked to produce.

I'm still fairly inexperienced with SAP and know nothing about message
control but I will see if I can get something to work using your
instructions below.

Many Thanks
David

we had a need to trigger an event on the create or change of an invoice
(table VBRK).

We used output determination of the invoice to trigger the event.  There is
an output medium which is Events.  In the config of the output
determination it is setup by document type so you can choose the document
types that you would like to trigger the event.  We set it up for all
document types.

here are the instructions that I wrote up:

                    Trigger Event from an output type.

In 4.6 there are additional transmission mediums available.  In this method
we are using transmission medium 9
This is under the assumption that there is not a create or change event in
the SAP object type.

Find the SAP Object type for the area you are working in
      for invoices it is VBRK

go to transaction SWO1 - Business Object Builder

Hit the "Create Subtype" pushbutton

fill in the popup screen

add the event(s) you need (CREATE or CHANGED)

Click on the "Events" folders and hit the create icon

Save the event

change the status of the event to Implemented

Then change the status of the Object type to "Implemented"

Then change the status of the Object type to "Released"

Save your work

Now we need to delegate from VBRK to ZVBRK

Execute transaction SWO6

Hit the "New Entries" pushbutton

Fill in the Object type, a user id and delegation type is the Object type
you just created

Hit the Save icon

Create an output type
      for Invoices use transaction v/40

create a new entry

General Data Tab

Default Values Tab

Storage system Tab

Print tab

Then double click on the Processing Routine on the left side of the screen

Fill in the Processing Program of RSWEMC01

Form Routine CREATE_EVENT

Then Click on the Partner Function on the left side of the screen

Save the information

Execute transaction VV31 (VV32)

Type in the new output type

hit key combinations

choose Billing type

Hit the execute icon

Make sure the transmission medium is 9 and the Time is 4 and the language
is EN

choose each Billing type

Hit the "communications" pushbutton

Fill in the SAP object type

And choose the new Event you created.

hit the arrow to go through all the Billing types

Hit the Save Icon

Execute transaction SWE2

Link the Object type VBRK and the new event CREATE to the Function module
to be executed

Make sure the check box  "Type linkage active" is checked!!!!!!!

Save the entry

Try and create and change an invoice

I hope this helps....

    I've been working with this same situtation.  You can use FAKTBELEG, I
believe.
I haven't been able to get the trigger to work correctly though - despite
instruction from OSS to use
this object.
Hope this helps.

Subject:        Change Document Object for Billing: Header Data (VBRK)

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone could help me.
I have a request for  workflow to be be triggered by an insert on table
VBRK
where the insert is for a specific billing type e.g. reversal or credit
note.
When this happens I need to check if any payments have been made against
the
bill that is being reversed or credited.

I have been looking in SWEC for an appropriate Change Document Object but
cannot find one.
Has anyone ever done this in the past as I need to trigger the workflow on
an insert to VBRK (Billing: Header Data) ?

Thanks
David
