VA21/VA22/VA23 problems with GOS workflows

[Schumacher, Margaret]

Tim,

Since you are triggering with the item status using business object VBAP and not BUS2031 that is why GOS doesn't show the workflow.  You need to instantiate the business object BUS2031 within the workflow and the link will be made and the GOS will report the workflow.

At the start create a step with business object SYSTEM and method GENERICINSTANTIATE passing in object key=<SalesOrderNumber> and object type="BUS2031"

Hi,

I have created a bespoke workflow for Sales documents (Sales orders? 
and sales quotations), in a 4.70 SAP environment.

Status management is used to trigger the workflows, the header/items? 
statuses are set in the sales document user exit. The workflows are? 
triggered as expected.
I have added PID SD_SWU_ACTIVE to my user profile.

If I create the following sales documents, the workflows are shown in? 
the services for object workflow list.
Sales order
Create header status, business object BUS2032 using VA01 Create item status, business object VBAP using VA01 Sales quotation Create header status, business object BUS2031 using VA21

However if I create a sales quotation item status, business object? 
VBAP using VA21, the workflow does not appear in the services for? 
object workflow list of the sales quotation.


Has anyone else come across this problem before and if so any ideas to? 
help would be great.

Regards
TP
