Trigger a workflow when a accounting dcoument is created

[former_member193771]

Hi,

I need to trigger a workflow, when an accounting document is created not when the document is parked or posted. Is there any standard event or what can I do.

Im trying to use FIPP here.

Thanks

what do you mean by creating a document? It can either be parked or posted. Please clarify.

Hi,

Thanks for the quick reply.

When the accounting document is created the workflow is to get triggered. The functional guys here donot want the workflow when the document is parked or posted for approval of GL entries...

Thanks.

Sukumar,

Use the same workflow, create the check FM in SWE2 tcode, there you check that document type (i guess blart) is GL then raise an exception so workflow wont trigger.

you can find sample coding for check FM in forum too.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply...

I need to trigger a workflow just before a document is posted. Is there any user exit which I can leverage for this purpose.

Thanks,

Sukumar.

Hi,

When the Account Document is getting created ??

you can use the Userexit SAPLF051 and try.

Sukumar,

If you trigger workflow just before document is posted, how you would be sure that document has been posted?

I mean to say that it may happen that your workflow has been triggered but document has not been posted, Do you really want this?

I would still suggest that use the posted event for workflow

Hi,

Right before the posting the amounts are compared with the threshold value and if the amount happens to be lesser than threshold, it is directly posted, or else if the value is greater than the threshold it does not get posted.

I presume triggering a workflow through a user exit might work in this case. I set a breakpoint in all the three exits in SAPLF051 and it did not stop when I posted the document. I will try using it once more.

Thanks,

Sukumar.

Sukumar,

For me its kind of odd requirement, What will happen to that document which doesnt not satisfy threshold criteria, will that be ever posted.

I think that you can find out some BAdi for that, try to check BAdi.

How to find out BAdi? search the forum's and you will find various ways to check on existing BAdi for any package/tcode etc.

Hope it will help.

Cheers

What you are explaining now is what I said before, that if the condition doesn't satisfy you are parking it else posting it. the best answer will be to go for FI release strategy. Refer to the following link
