missing text in work item?

[Williams, Vikki]

Hi all, I'm hoping you'll be able to help a newbie!

 

We had a call logged today where the text on workitems was blank

 

The task was a user decision step

 

Post Document &1 from &2 ?

Parameter &1 is "&PARKED_INVOICE.INVOICEDOCNUMBER&"

Parameter &2 is "&PARKED_INVOICE.VENDORNAME&"

 

I tested object zbus2081 for the invoice instance and the vendorname
attribute was blank.  Looked at the programme behind this attribute, it's
picking up the name2 field from table LFA1).  

 

Programme 

 

GET_PROPERTY VENDORNAME CHANGING CONTAINER.

                                            

 DATA : V_LIFNR LIKE LFA1-LIFNR,            

        V_NAME2 LIKE LFA1-NAME2.            

                                            

 SELECT SINGLE LIFNR INTO V_LIFNR           

 FROM RBKP CLIENT SPECIFIED                 

 WHERE MANDT = SY-MANDT                     

 AND BELNR = OBJECT-KEY-INVOICEDOCNUMBER    

 AND GJAHR = OBJECT-KEY-FISCALYEAR.         

                                            

 IF SY-SUBRC NE 0.                          

   CLEAR V_LIFNR.                           

   EXIT.                                    

 ENDIF.   

 

I checked SE16 on table LFA1, name2 field was blank, hence no data in the
container element vendorname.  Discovered that the name2 fields on vendor
master were deleted as per a user request.

 

We have repopulated the name2 field on the vendor master, so new workitems
have text, but now have quite a lot of old work items with the missing text.
Is there a way of either refreshing the text on an existing workitem (I
don't think so, but you are the experts!) or restarting the workflow from
this user decision step only (it has already been through approvals etc. so
they don't want to retrigger from the beginning.

 

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
