Is the field in the workflow the same as the in the rule?

Check the binding in the task.

Also test the task itself.

Nat,

The from value and the to value are the same in the rule.  I do have
multiple from and to values assigned per rule due to the number of vendors
assigned to a specific position.

EX.
Name                     From        To
Vendor             2           2
Vendor             22          22

I have checked "consider secondary priorities" and numbered the rules 1
through 5; however, when I initiate a Price Block Workflow the position
chosen through my rule ends up being the highest priority regardless of
whether it is their assigned vendor from the rule.  The strange thing is
that this is testing successfully for the different rules I have created in
"Simulate rule resolution."

Thanks for your comment.

Hi all, Here I am repostig the issue(seems my emails are ending in Junk
folder).
?I am trying to return a class object from business
object method to workflow container. I am not using this is class object in
any
of my tasks, using just as parameter..

 ?





Issue-1: I am unable to class object as BOR method parameter, I cant see
any options to choose ABAP class
type..the only two options are (i)ABAP Dictionary, (ii) Object type.. Is it
a version issue..the client is on R/3 4.7.



 ?






Issue-2: Object reference is not passed to task
container with SWC_SET_ELEMENT CONTAINER macro from BOT method.

 ?

Issue-3: I have not implemented IF_WORKFLOW methods in the class..Do I need
to
implement the interface methods irrespective of its use in task?

 ?

 ?

Thanks for all your input.
 ?

Regards,

Sharath.

I had a similar issue a fewl years ago -- I believe it was on 4.6C -- and
SAP suggested putting in a wait step (wait for 20 seconds) after the "wait
for" step.  It had something to do with locking.  In fact, I just checked
and I still have some design notes on the delay step:



This work item executes a method in the background, ZDELAY20SECONDS, which
invokes function module Z_DELAY20SECONDS which has a command to wait 20
seconds.  This has been implemented per SAP?s instructions to avoid locking
issues that were encountered in the original implementation.  It is invoked
after each ?wait for event? step in the workflow definition.


Not sure if this is the same issue or not, but if so, give it a try.



Enjoy,

David

Subject: Issue with terminating event
From: ikhansap at gmail.com
To: SAP-WUG at mit.edu



Hi friends,
we are having an issue in the custom Purchase order workflow. When the
approver's releases the PO from his inbox, the workflow is not proceeding
further and the work item remains in is inbox with status "In process" .I
checked the table SWFDEVINST and there is an entry for this PO. I tried
creating a terminating event directly from SWUE but in this case the
workflow is moving to next step but the work item still lies in the
approver's inbox and in workflow log that approval task is in status "In
process". One weird thing in this workflow is there are both wait for event
and the terminating event is used, it could be a problem but this issue is
occuring very rarely. Please advice what could be the issue. I tried to
complete the work item manually from tcode SWIA but the workflow went into
error.

Hi Karl.
Just in case you haven't resolve you issue,
I was utilising UWL Wizard and have no issue with it. Make sure uwl
property
of sap_uwl_viewname has value DefaultView. No need to change this

Second thing, make sure your xml code, uploaded with High priority.

If you facing an error upon removing columns, please have a look OSS Note

Cheers,

Hi Miguel,

Check that in the rule that the from value and to value are the same.

When you test the rule does it work?

             20-07-2009 06:22          Question regarding creating a rule

             Please respond to
               "SAP Workflow
               Users' Group"
             <sap-wug at mit.edu>






Hello,

I have a request from a user to create a rule based on vendor
responsibility for a Price Block Workflow.  The rule would assign  the work
item to the user responsible for the vendor that has a price block.  I have
created the rule in PFAC, set-up the container element Vendor (ABAP Dict.
Reference: Structure ? LFA1 & Field ? LIFNR).  In the responsibilities tab
I have created different rules that have the applicable vendors which are
each assigned to specific positions from the Org Plan.

The problem I have when I test the workflow is that when there is a price
block for a specific vendor, the workflow is showing it has been assigned
to all the positions assigned to the various rules created.  I would expect
the assignment to only be to one position.

Ex. Vendor 2 is assigned to Position 30000069 (Based on Responsibility Tab
for Rule created)

Another option I have would be to create a rule that looks directly at a
non-standard reference table listing the SBL?s and Buyer 1?s responsible
for their specific vendors.  From a maintenance standpoint, if the
assignment changed,  the only thing needed to be updated is the
non-standard table instead of also updating the rule.  Any suggestions on
how to possibly create this type of rule or recommended documentation on
the internet you have found helpful in the past.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
