Attachment in mail

[devrajsinghr]

Hi friends,

I am working on Purchase req approval workflow, in which during approval process if requisition got rejected then approver will attach some note in that work item.

After rejection I have to send a mail to requisition creator.

I have simulated this situation with FORMABSENCE approval, just for checking the flow of attachment.

In which workflow will trigger when FORM is getting created after then there is a approval step, and at last sending mail to WF-INITIATOR.

When approver is executing the work item, it is displaying the form with approve and reject options and there I am attaching note or attachment before rejecting the request.

Workflow is ending fine but in mail there is no attachment found.

--binding of attachobjects is done at mail control tab....

--in technical log nothing in attachobjects element.

Can anyone help me what else can be the cause of not getting attachment....?

Thanks and regards

As you have said you have simulated from Leave request Workflow. Here it should also work. Make sure you have copied all the relevant stuffs and binded it properly.

Its not working out.........

but still am trying...can u tell me how to check details of a mail that from which workflow it has sended?

Outgoing emails can be found in transaction SOST.

In SWIA check the workflow container and the different task containers to find your attachment. Also check the send mail step to see if this can handle an attachment.

Hi Martin,

you are rit we can check our workitem info with the given transaction.....

i have noticed that when i am attaching the attachment at approve and reject screen that attachment is not coming in mail...

(i have binded the attachobjects in mail control tab).

but the attachment which i am creating at confirm end screen that is coming in mail..... do u have any idea about it y it behaving like dis...

second thing if approver ll attach any note how it ll come in mail.....

willl it come with the same container element attachobjects....?

or any other element we have to bind..?

thanks in advance...

And when i have checked SendMail task container...it contains

1- Attachments of Workflow Instance

You need to check where your attachment is stored, so in which container element (if it is stored in a container element). You say you did the binding for Attachobjects, but if the created attachment isn't in there it will not be sent. So check the container to find your attachment.

Martin,

i have checked, attachments store in attachobjects for all type of containers (task,workflow...etc) but i am not able to get where it stores NOTE which a approver can write b4 approve and reject the form..

Can you please put some light on it.

Thanks ...

I don't know where it is, because I have not yet worked with the scenario. That's also why I told you to take a look at the container. Look at all the container elements, not only the obvious ones. And maybe it doesn't even get stored in the container.

Which workflow do you use for the test?

i have designed a custom WF.

Which task is used to approve (or in which task do you create the attachment or note?)?. As I said, it could very well be the note or attachment is not stored in the workflow container, but somewhere else.
