Hi Miguel,

Would it be possible to provide screen shots of the binding from your
workflow to your task and the rule as well.
Maybe I can get a better understanding.

Nat,

The field (LIFNR) in the container element embedded in the workflow
container through binding is the same as the field in the container element
in the rule.  When I checked the task I created I noticed it did not have a
container element for vendor so I created one.  I also checked "Terminate
if rule resolution without result."  I refreshed the system in SWU_OBUF and
tested the scenario with the following result:

Five separate responsibilities have been created in Rule 90300001.  The
responsibilities have priorities from 1 to 5 and I have checked "Consider
Secondary Priorities."  The test scenario on a Price Block WF for vendor #2
resulted in the work item getting assigned to the highest priority 5 even
though that position is only responsible for vendor #69.  The work item
should have been assigned to the position with the priority of 1.  I have
also tested this with setting all priorities to 99 which resulted in the
work item getting assigned to all the positions listed in the rule.

For some reason it doesn't seem to want to select the specific position
assigned to the vendor associated with the Price Block Workflow.  Thanks
for your insight and for taking the time to reply.

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.
