ESS TRIP Workitem Attachment

[Former Member]

Hi experts,

I am currently working on a Travel expenses workflow .The workflow when tested from r3 side it all works fine. My problem is that i could not open the workitem attachment from ESS portal. My requirement is, When i click on the workitem attachment from ESS , It should open a adobe form showing travel expense details.

From my research i figured out it a has something to with transaction SWFVISU. If yes, can anyone provide me with detail steps of what needs to be configured.

Is it the workflow configuration side or the portal configuration that needs to be done.

Please help.

Hi NK,

yes in swfvisu you have to specify your task and corresponding Visualization Type.

Try Object-based Navigation .

Hope magic Works!

Hi Purvesh,

Thanks for your reply.

I tried object-navigation.

Its not working. Does it have to do anything with portal version.

Do you want me to try anyother options?

If anyone had similar problem and solved it , please help me...

hi NK_ABAPER

I have done Travel management in ESS. I am getting every thing fine in portal. No need of task registration on swfvisu since ur using only decision step not any task has its decribed in standard workflow. To get the attachment you need to tell the EP person to do the setting for the display. The solution to display the adobe form search in ESS. Even i had the same problem from that search i found one solution i solved that.

HI,

Can you tell me how you are attaching a file to workflow?

1. Are you attaching using Function Moudle? or any other way?

2. Are you getting the attachments in the UWL?

3. which application you are using? web dynpro java or abap?

Hello,

How did you actually try to achive the functionality with SWFVISU? Please give us more details. SWFVISU is really the way to achive your goal. How did you try to configure it?

Nothing works.

Hello,

I think the key question here is that how are you going to launch the Adobe form? Is there already a form/application that you can start directly (without using UWL)? If there is, let us know the details of it. There are few ways to launch applications from UWL. But if there is no application available, then we have a totally different question...

Karri,

Thanks for your reply .

There is a standard adobe form ptrv_trip_form that needs to be launched from the work item attachment from UWL . How do i proceed?

Hi NK,

May be you have implemented class and its method you are calling form.

Try writing custom method of BO.

In method call standard adobe form ptrv_trip_form.

Hope Magic Works!

As said, you need to find a way to launch the adobe form programatically (probably this is quite easy and straightforward?). Add this coding to a method, and then it will be possible to configure SWFVISU in a way that it launches the adobe form with the method.
