Hi Gilles,

You'll see that if you use SWB_COND it puts in a check FM into SWETYPV
and so you can only have either a start condition or your own check fm.
I prefer using check functions as SWB_COND is the most unSAP SAP
transaction I have ever seen.  Plus SWB_COND only gives you access to
the object attributes or certain system variables to use in your
condition (which seems to suit your purpose), whereas a check FM allows
you to go completely off the planet (in a logical business process =
sense
of course).

By the way it might be worth looking at receiver function modules if =
you
want to trigger different workflows off for the same event in the
future.

Cheers,

Paul

Thanks a lot Jocelyn,=20
You got it : switch to display mode then switch to create and all =
active
events appear : R/3 is still full of surprise for me ...
If you want to follow up, I would be interested to know if these
conditions
come in addition or in substitution to "Check Module Functions" that I
may
define using SWETYPV.

Regards,
Gilles.

Hi Gilles,
You need to activate your event linkage.
Then go to transaction SWB_COND.  It starts in display mode.  Use the
Display/Change button
to swap to Change mode.  Then press the Create button.
Then you can search for all active event linkages without start
condition.
Selecting the
event linkage will then allow you to create a start condition for that
event
linkage.
Use the "Technical Names On" option if you have difficulty finding your
event linkage.

And by the way folks - it's great to see everyone is well aware of =
start
conditions functionality now!

Hi,

In display mode all start conditions are shown, and I guess you don't
have a
start condition at the moment, so
nothing is shown. In change mode however all linkages without start
condition are shown!
