Appropriation Request Workflow Not Working

[Former Member]

Dear Friends,

I have been working on Workflow for Approval of Appropriation Request.

Even after carrying out all the required configuration, the process is not working. Following are the symptoms:

1) When appropriation request is submitted for Approval, I am maintaining Ser ids of approvers in the Partner field.The moment I set the For Approval status the Approve Button is deactivated.Even when I log in from the Approver's user ID the button is Deactivated. I believe that, it is so because once workflow is active one can not approve in master data transaction, approval has to be done thru workflow only.

2) When I check the Business Workplace Inboxes of Approvers there are no Workflow related mails.

3) I have also checked in IMA11 that the Work flow has been created.

Ne suggestion on the would be of great value.

Regards,

Hi,

Check if there are any check FM in the workflow linkage (SWETYPV), maybe there is a certain restrictions there. Also check for start conditions (SWB_COND).

In SWEC you can also check if there are any field restrictions before triggering the workflow (change document).

I checked all these.

Still there is no success.

In the appropriation request I have maintained different users as partners ( excluding myself) partners. As per the Workflow the mail should go to inbox of these users. Work flow is getting activated but still its not geting updated in the inboxes of users.

Are there any Basis settings that I may be ignoring.

Also the object type BUS2104 is being used. In forum I have read that this object type is obsolete. May be I can change the object type to BUS2204 ( the new one). If I need to do the same, what are the settings I need to do?

Regards,

Seemant

Hello

Please Check the transaction SWE2 - Event Linkages are active for the required Workflow.

You can also check this in transaction SWDD and give the

workflow template and then in Header admin part check whether events are active if not activate them.

Thanks and Regards
