How to Send Non Key Data to Workflow

[Griffiths, Mark]

You could store the address in a Z table keyed against the trip number.  When the workflow starts you could then read the value.
 
Otherwise, on your event in SWO1 create an import parameter.  Then, when you trigger your event you add the mail address to the event container table using the same name as the import parameter on the event.  Use the swc_set_element macro for this.
 
Couple of general comments about your approach:
- Best practice is to use delegated subtypes in your workflows so you can carry on using the original SAP object with your enahancements like a user exit
- for explicit event triggering in user exits use SWE_EVENT_CREATE_FOR_UPD_TASK as this doesn't need an explicit commit work but uses the commit of the application
- why trigger the event yourself when the event BUS2089.CREATED gets triggered as standard?
- Entering e-mail addresses in a pop-up is not that robust - you would be better to get the user to select a user id and and then get the mail address later from the user master or infotype 105
 
Hope this helps,

Hi,
 
 
    We have set up a workflow for Travel Expense Using Z_BUS2089
(Subtype of BUS2089).In the user Exit of txn TRIP the workflow gets
triggerred using FM 'SWE_EVENT_CREATE'  by passing PERNR and REINR which
are Key Fields of BO.
Just before triggerring workflow a Pop Up dialog box appears where the
user enters the EMail ID of the manager to whom the Workitem is to be
sent.
How do i pass this Email Id to Workflow? I have tried EXPORT-IMPORT but
doesnt work.
 
 
regards,
Chenna Kiran Kumar
