Material Master Workflow

Fri Jul 21 06:44:25 EDT 2006

Hi Vijay,

The problem with creation of one material master view completing all other
parallel workitems view can be solved by creating a "view-specific" check
function to the terminating event binding.  Hope the example code helps (its
from four years ago, so I'm a bit rusty on the details)

Hi Friends ,
                  Presently i'm given a task of creating workflow for
material master creation.  Following is the scenario...

1. One user ( Initiator ) will create a basic data 1 & 2  and  the workflow
should be triggered .

2. Other views like Sales , MRP , Scheduling will be created by different
people , hence each user should receive a workitem in their sap inbox  for
creating the required view.

I have identified  business object BUS1001006 for this workflow and i'm
planning to use the following methods and events.

Events :   
               Created --> to trigger the workflow
               ViewCreated --> terminating event for the Workitem ( for view
creation )

Methods : 

   GetMissedViews --> to get all the required views to be created for this
material.
   CreateView         --> to create required for the material.

I'm facing two problems......

1. Using "GetMissedViews" i'm getting all the missing view details in a
multiline container element . I have created parallel task ( by putting
multiline container element in the "Others" tab . Terminating event for this
task is "ViewCreated".  
Depending on the no. of views in the multiline item , that many workitem
gets created.
The issue is if once view gets created all the other workitems are removed
from my inbox ( status completed ). 

2. At the time of creation of basic data1 & 2 , the org. elements are not
required . I want to determine the agent for rest of the views by the
org.elements . How can we acheive it ???

Help me to reslove above 2 issues ......If any done workflow material master
please do share you technical expetise...

Regards,
Vijay
