About adding notes to a user decision

Look at the SAP Library help and the WUG archives - form steps have been
discussed quite a lot. 
 
I'm not aware of any way to let users change the body of an attachment
only - so again a form step might be easier for you.

	Either option is fine but adding additional questions for each
option might get to be a pain if the options change. 
	I'd suggest you create your own form with a dropdown. 
	You could always use the formstep if you are only using Business
Workplace. 
	Then you could add a textbox on the form for comments and
validate that both the reason and textbox had been provided.

	I am able to attach to the reject path now, but need some
clarifying
	
	I am using regular Business Workplace itself
	
	Should l model a different path for each reason code? then i
will have 'n' number of paths from the decision box, based on the 'n'
reject reason codes......
	then in each path we add attachments for that path
	
	or is it possible to have a list of reason codes as, say a drop
down box and capture the different code
	
	i added the 2 step process(decision +  attachment) for the
reject path
	after rejecting,  the step asks to add attachment - also the
title has be entered every time for each attachment
	can we have the title to be constant.. so that the person need
not e! nter a title, rather enter the details only

			Do you consider the following as an alternative?
			 
			In the Reject outcome of the user decision,
create a step with Advance wi! th dialog checked, using a task based on
the method HTMLPROCESS of the object FORM, then doing "web transaction"
to let the system create the page for us based on the task's container
elements (reject_reason_1, reject_reason_2, etc.).
			 
			The result is a work item that ! the approver
has to complete when he chooses to reject.

			G'day Anke,
			 
			Since thi! s is a popular topic at the moment
can you please provide a bit more detail.
			 
			I've just tried to subtype/delegate DECISION and
create a custom method which to begin with simply calls the standard
PROCESS method. When you try to use a task based on this in a decision
step it complain! s that the task must be based on DECISION.PROCESS. 
			 
			Did you redefine the standard PROCESS method? If
so how did you do it such that it didn't affect any of the normal
decision processin! g??
			 
			I'm currently on a site expecting heavy use of
UWL and therefore would love to have an inclusive rejection reason
without the need to refresh the inbox. 
			 
			Thanks,
			Mark

				Hi,
				
				I have just finshed doing something very
similar.
				
				The standard functionality provides a
pushbutton to create an attachment 
				(unfortunate! ly not in UWL). If you can
make it a business procedure to have
				the approver use this, then that would
be the easiest and most standard
				solution.
				
				In my case, the reason for rejection had
to be entered as a mandatory 
				attachment. I m! ade a copy of the
decision step and added the code to
				automatically popup the creation of an
attachment if the decision result is
				Reject. Code calls method SOFM.CREATE
				
				You can also consider using 2 steps
(decision step + attachment) and 
				continue with immediate dialog! . This
is a more standard solution with less
				coding. Unfortunately doesn't work in
UWL either.
				
				Also, have a look at the Conditions tab
on the task. Here you can check
				conditions before the workitem is set to
sompleted. You can use this to make 
				sure that the user has created an
attachment before the workitem is set to
				completed. This is the more standard
approach. You will have! to give the
				user instructions on creating the
attachment. (Or they'll think workflow 
				doesn't work.) My client preferred the
automatic popup with prompt to create
				attachment.
				
				Hope this gives you some ideas on how to
resolve it.
				
				Cheers,
