Nat,

Here are some print screens of the rule, binding and workflow:

Container Element in Workflow Container is identical to Container Element in Rule.

Thanks again for taking the time to look at this for me.

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.
