Rel: 4.70 -- Archive Link and Workflow problem

[John Wiese]

Dear Fellow Workflowers . . . 
 
We are on the verge of a 4.70 Upgrade weekend (May 26 thru 29, 2006) and
we are running into an interesting issue
with Early Archiving and Workflow . . .
 
Here are "some" of the details . . . (please see attachment for full
details):
 
WORKFLOW PROBLEM - SAP 4.7 Archive Link and Workflow
 
Problem statement: after creation of a Logistics Invoice (transaction
MIRO), the LIV document should be assigned to the scanned image and the
workflow should end successfully. Instead, the workflow loops back
around so that the user is once again prompted to create and link a new
document to the scanned image. Even though an LIV doc is created
successfully and the image is linked to the document. Hence, the
assignment of image to document isn't recognized by the workflow.
 
*	WS90000034 - ESRI ImgNew - for early archiving of scanned
documents
*	Workflow essentially loops until flagged completed
*	One branch of the loop is problematic - namely steps 381, 386
and 391
*	 
*	[Workflow  Builder - Display 'ESRI ImgNew']
*	 
*	381 is the Create R/3 Document step - it eventually calls
IMAGE.ZIMAGEPROCESS (tcode MIRO) 
*	Screen shots below are the drill down into this step of the
workflow
*	It dynamically calls the appropriate transaction (MIRO) for the
document type (ZFI_LIVDOC in our case)
*	Possible outcomes of the step are Process Abandoned, Processing
rejected and Document type assigned. Process Abandoned and Processing
rejected work fine. "Document type assigned" is not reached. 
*	The "Document type assigned" outcome is a result of a
terminating event defined in the task. This seems to be the problem
point.
*	The other problem is that occasionally the workflow simply
bypasses those two steps (386 & 391) and then loops around again,
prompting the workflow user to process, abort or otherwise make the
initial decision of the workflow.
*	 
*	[Additional screen shots]

Does anyone have any idea as to how-to trouble-shoot / resolve this
problem?
 
Thanks for your time and your help!
