BUS2013/BUS2014 change event not triggered.

Fri Sep 30 10:30:37 EDT 2005

Hi Anna,

Thanks for your patience and help.

Now here's a twist.

1. When a SA is created thru ME31L, the system fires 
BUS2013 - ReleaseStepCreated
and after few sec
BUS2012 - ReleaseStepCreated (for PO but with no of SA, as a result
triggering a PO WF but ending in error because its actually a number
range of SA.)

2. We tried to create a contract ME31K and then change it after it was
released (ME32K). The event BUS2014-ReleaseStepCreated was not fired,
"but for some other test data" it behaved perfectly normal.

Now 1 and 2 definitely shows something it wrong. After some analysis I
found that recently the basis team applied some plugins and support
packs and that affected cluster table of trans SWEC. That may be the
reason but needs to be confirmed. 

I've opened a OSS and waiting for SAP's reply. Whatever I'll find I'll
share it with the group.

Still if you have any ideas about this please let me know.

Thanks
Manish

Hi Manish

If  have understood you correctly, you are saying that the application
is not applying a new release code when you make the changes. If this is
the case then you will not get an event. Until a new release code is
applied to the contract/SA, no event will be raised. This is possibly a
job for your functional team and if the configuration is all correct in
the system but no release codes are being applied, then I suggest your
functional team raise it with OSS. The workflow can only respond to the
events, which are in turn dependent on the application config.

Perhaps check SWEQADM just to ensure the events aren't erring or being
put in a queue.

Sorry I can't help you further. 
Good luck

This is what is happening.

For a recent development I had to change the workflows for
PO/SA/Contracts.

I made changes to 
1. The WF templates
2. Created a custom task with logic.
3. Created a FM
4. Created a custom object to for the method in 2.

Now while testing we found that

1. When we change a SA/Contract , ME32L and ME33K do not reset the
release and put it back in blocked status. This is why the event
ReleaseStepCreated did not trigger. I checked with the functional team
and they said nothing changed in release strategy.

2. I checked in our quality system and found that ME32L and ME33K work
fine in case of change.

3. Assuming that my development is independent of these transactions we
moved the transport to Quality system.

4. unfortunately ME32L and ME33K started behaving in same manner as in
development box.

Now I'm confused as 
1. I did not move the customization
2. No change in the BUS2013 and BUS2014 was moved
3. Even the standard transactions were not moved ( assuming some change
due to application of SAP patches)

Still it is not working :(

The other thing you need to check is that when you make the change, that
the contract/SA is changed such that is it subject new a release
strategy. If the change is not significant to push the value up or down
enough (or to change any of the other fields that the characteristics
are based on in the release strategy) so that a new release code is
applied, the event will not be raised. 

Good luck, keep me posted. 
Cheers
Anna

Hi Anna,

Thanks a lot. I needed to solve this urgently.

What was happening is 

1. When a PO approval was in process and somebody changed the value or
added a new line, event CHANGED gets fired (SWEC, BUS2012 , Changed, On
change)
2. However when a PO was already approved and then changed, event
'ReleaseStepCreated' was fired, along with change. Here I was unable to
establish a link. 

We need the SA and the contracts to  behave in the same manner as 2.
I'll give it a try and let u know if it works.

Thanks for your help
Manish

Hi Manish

There is some application configuration required to get the
ReleaseStepCreated events raised which must already be in place in your
system for PO,s but not for contracts or scheduling agreements. To get
the event raised, you need to tell the application that you want to use
workflow for particular release codes, and then the application raises
the event when a contract or scheduling agreement is raised subject to
those release codes. 

To set up the config, go into the IMG: Materials Management - purchasing
- contract - release procedure for contracts - define release procedure
for contracts. Go into Release Codes (note NOT workflow!) and enter
either a 1 or a 9 in the workflow column for the release codes you want
to use with workflow. Follow a similar procedure to set up for SA's. You
will then find that the events are raised when the contracts/SA's are
created/changed subject to the release codes. 

You may also want to read the associated documentation.

Have fun!!

Hi,

We have approval workflows for PO(BUS2012), Consignment Scheduling
Agreements(BUS2013) and Contracts(BUS2014).

Whenever a PO is changed "when its in the released state(after at least
1 approval)" event 'ReleasedStepCreated' is fired, which triggers
another workflow for the PO. 

However similar thing is not happening for SA and contracts. Please note
that event 'changed' gets fired when PO is changed in Blocked state.
However I need SA and Contracts to behave in the same fashion as PO,
when they are changed in 'Released state'.

Any ideas what I'm missing. 

Regards
Manish
