EBP CREATED event for BUS2201 doesn't trigger? - URGENT

[Dart, Jocelyn]

Hi Chris,
EBP uses special event handling mechanisms.  The actual event itself is never raised.
Rather the application simulates the event raising process to determine which workflow to
start and then starts that particular workflow.  This is necessary to support the approval preview
displays.
 
Because of this process certain restrictions exist.  One of the things that is checked is that for certain scenarios one and only one workflow must be started.   Another important criteria is that start conditions must be used
to determine which workflow will be started in a number of scenarios.
 
So basically the approach you have taken will not work in the way you have designed it.
 
In most cases also the "created" event is not used - rather the "saved" event is the real event to use for
EBP business objects.
 
If you are going to raise your own event I would suggest using a completely custom event rather than trying to raise a standard event again as this may affect other processes.
 
Your best approach is to raise an OSS message describing what you want to do - send it to the
EBP developers e.g. using component SRM-EBP-WFL - and ask for their advice for the best approach
to use.
Regards,
Jocelyn

Hello fellow workflowers,
 
 
 
I am trying to create a workflow that sends an email notification when an
incomplete PO is created.  The workflow works fine when you trigger the
BUS2201 "Created" event manually.  However, the event does not seem to ever
get rasied in BBP_REQREQ_TRANSFER when a special request order is created.
 
 
 
I see the incomplete order waiting to be processed in "Process Purchase
Orders" (BBPPO01) so I know the PO was created.  I do not even see an event
getting triggered when I create a special request with event trace turned
on.
 
 
 
I tried triggering the event via SWE_EVENT_CREATE_IN_UPD_TASK from
BBP_DOC_SAVE BADI with filter BUS2201 but the event trace comes back with
"Entry not found in object buffer".  Soon after BBP_DOC_SAVE BADI SAP has a
COMMIT WORK and WAIT.
 
 
 
We are on EBP 3.0 in a standalone scenario, creating local PO's.
 
 
 
 
 
Any suggestions on how to trigger this event or why the standard SAP code is
not triggering it would be much appreciated.
 
 
 
Thanks,
 
Chris Jones
