SAP-WUG Digest, Vol 112, Issue 30

Wed Apr 2 08:12:20 EDT 2014

I was able to get the text I was looking for by using function module SAP_WAPI_GET_WORKITEM_DETAIL.  When you call that FM with a dialog task, the return field WORKITEM_RESULT has the outcome name of the user's decision.  It also returns a structure, WORKITEM_DETAIL, which contains all of the other details that I needed, such as Actual-Agent, End Date & Time, etc.  So I was essentially able to create my entire report around this one function module.

Hi Loren,

Are you maintaining the approval decision text mandatory in the workflow approval process. How is the approval process happening. Is it through the transaction or some othe process.

1. Approval at transaction : In this process ask the user to maintain the decision  texts in the transaction during approving or rejection. Then you can user FM READ_TEXT for reading the same. Also as you mentioned, you are reading the workflow texts. I would suggest to read the current status of the workflow and then run the above logic.

Thanks.

Rick,

Thanks for the reply.  The function module you pointed out gets me close to what I am looking for but not quite.  For example, if I run that FM against my test work-item I get these results:

[cid:image003.png at 01CF4A62.713EDF70]<mailto:[cid:image003.png at 01CF4A62.713EDF70]>

The text that this brought back is the text that appears on the user decision buttons.

I realize now that what I am really looking for is the Outcome Name as defined in the Decision Options:

[cid:image001.png at 01CF4A62.CF7ED540]<mailto:[cid:image001.png at 01CF4A62.CF7ED540]>

Hi Loren,

The text is in table SWD_TEXT but it's probably easier (and better) to go via FM SWU_INTERN_GET_DECISION_TEXT.

I am exploring the possibilities of creating a custom report where I can pass in a long list of invoices and get back a listing that shows the workflow approval information for each invoice.  We want to see who approved the invoice, the date and time of the approval, and the result of the user's decision.

I can easily identify the dialog steps from the workflow and I know that I can use SAP_WAPI_READ_CONTAINER to get the WI_RESULT field value as shown here:

[cid:image004.png at 01CF4A62.713EDF70]<mailto:[cid:image004.png at 01CF4A62.713EDF70]>

But displaying a value of "0001" on the report as the user's decision is not going to be helpful.  I want to be able to translate the numeric decision value to the text value that was assigned in the workflow definition.  We want to be able to see the value "APPROVED" as it shows up in the workflow log:

[cid:image005.png at 01CF4A62.713EDF70]<mailto:[cid:image005.png at 01CF4A62.713EDF70]>

Is there a table somewhere in the system that I could query with the numeric WI_RESULT and get the text value back?
