Helo,

we have a default text appearing in a dispute and I need to remove certain words from it. How to achieve that ?

what is the menu path where this text config is maintained. If it s SO10 , how can I find the text name and text id ?

Iam not aware of FSCMa tat all since iam logisticis consultant and we need to solve this issue ! could someone tell in detail.

The default text is maintained in the communication tab as shown below. On clicking an email communication from the right pane as show by red arrow, opens the message as shown in 2nd screenshot. we want to remove "15 " from 15/30 days as shown in the message .

clicking on the red arrow open the below message. basically this opens a message in workflow for approval. we need to remove 15/30 days and add only 30 days.

regards

Sonu

Hi Sachin,

That's a pretty big ask - I'll outline some basic steps, but I highly recommend that you (or somebody) research SAP Business Workflow (there are some excellent tutorials from SAP and SAP-Press has a book Practical Workflow for SAP)

1) Run transaction SWI2_FREQ (just my choice, you could use other SWI2* transactions) and select a time-frame. Choose 'Dialog' for workitem type. You'll get back a report of all dialog tasks that have run in that time-frame.

2) Identify the task that has delivered the approval you are interested in. The task description would match something like "xxxxx debit xxxxx for approval'. Examine this task number. It would be something like TS00001234 or TS97700123. You will have to examine this task ID to determine if it is SAP's or your own. Customer defined tasks will begin with 9, SAP tasks will not.

In this case, you will need to use transaction PFTC_COP to copy this SAP task to a customer task (fingers crossed somebody maintained your Workflow Definition Environment with transaction SWU3). Give your new task a meaningful name and abbreviation. Then use transaction PFTC_CHG and enter your new task number. Click on the Description Tab. Here you should be able to edit the text you are concerned with. Please note that variables passed in by Workflow have & & around them. This is a SAPScript editor and may take some getting used to.

If you already can tell this is a customer task, just use PFTC_CHG to edit the text.

Save once your changes are done.

But please do use the SAP Business Workflow tutorials! Some of them (even though they are older) are excellent.

Good luck,

Sue

Thanks Susan. I will work on that. Last question. Can workflow be easily learnt by an SAP Functional consultant who does not have ABAP knowledge. Is SAP workflow entirely for techincal ? do all changes in SAP Workflow involve workbench request ?

Iam aware of your book. I will definitely buy it. we have also a low cost indian edition of your book.

Hi Sachin,

I know that some functional folks are the 'go-to' people for SAP Workflow - they are the ones who know the business processes and any underlying configuration. But I think that having some ABAP on hand is also helpful. Any new methods or attributes will likely be written in ABAP (speaking only for SAP Business Workflow). But then again, you may have access to an ABAPer who has no interest in learning Workflow, and you can bribe them to write what you need 🙂

Yes, your workflow changes will require workbench requests.


Good luck,

Sue

You should find out what task is sending that document/approval task, and if it is not an SAP delivered task, you can make the changes in the task description. If you *are* using an SAP delivered task, then you can copy it to your own version, and make the text descriptions there. (Don't forget to change the WF Template to call your new custom version in that case).

Good luck,

Sue

Thanks Susan for the answer. But I have no idea about workflow and do not have anyone in team who has an idea about workflow.

Is it possible for you to provide inputs as to where to look for information you have asked me to look into ?
