Incoming Invoice Workflow problem need a terminating event

[Richard Marut]

Robert,
 
I tested this yesterday in MIR4 with an existing document, switched to
change mode and saved it without actually changing anything. When I
looked in transaction SWEL, I saw that object type bus2081, event Parked
was published.
 
Where are you looking to see if the event is raised, the workflow log or
the event trace? Maybe you have something incorrect in your wait for
event step.

I tested this. But the event parked is not raised in transaction MIR4
and also nog in MIRO.
Are you absolutely sure the event parked is raised in transaction mir4
when you save ?

Does anybody have know of another way to tackle this problem.

Robert,
 
If you save the invoice using MIR4, the Parked event is raised even if
you did not make any changes which will allow you to wait for that
event. If you use MIRO, the event is not raised. I've always recommended
that only super users have access to MIRO because of the events never
getting raised here and that everyone else uses MIR7 to create and MIR4
to change and display.

The manager should have the option of looking at the invoice and then
decide the invoice is for a different manager so it should go back to
the finance department where it came from.
I can't turn on confirm processing since it is an asynchronus mehtod
(needs a terminating event).
The manager should have the possibility to keep the invoice in his inbox
after add one line item and he can't complete the next line item untill
he gets some information.
 
Any ideas on how to tackle this problem.

You wouldn't want to automatically continue if the manager displays the
invoice I think. What if the manager adds two lines but lacks some
information for adding the third one?
I would guess you are better off with a confirmation here (Confirm
Processing or whatever the option for confirming that you have completed
a
work item is called).

Hiya all,
 
I have the following problem:
 
I have constructed a workflow for invoice completion based on business
object BUS2081 (incoming invoice).
The first agent of the workflow enters the header data. When he
save/parks
the invoice has the status 'parked'. The events CREATED en PARKED are
raised.
Then the invoice is send to a manager who have to add line items in the
invoice. He can only save/park the invoice because the invoice isn't
complete yet (another manager has to add another line item). But the
status
of the invoice isn't changed so no event is raised. So i don't have a
terminating event for my workflow step.
So my question is how i can raise an event everytime a manager edits or
displays an invoice so i can use that event a terminiting event and
continue with my workflow.
Do i have to create my own event ?
And where should i raise the event ?
 
Please tell me if there is another way/solution to solve this problem.
More
people must have encountered this problem.
