Hi,

you have to trigger event with parameter with RFQ no to trigger workflow. For attachment, in the workflow use a Activity step to populate attachment from RFQ no following by mail step to send it to receiver.

As Sandra suggested, there are lot of post in SCN

First try to search with keywords like abap trigger workflow (There are already dozens of wiki and hundreds of thread) You should also search in online help, look for SWE_EVENT_CREATE or SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT (seems you missed the EVENT concept)

Hi Sundeep,

Probably, you can use Methods tab of the decision step where it can open a dialog box in MODAL view. You should try to make use of the section AFTER work item execution. In the BOR you are using create a method in which you can all your Module pool screens.

Thanks

Hi,

Thanks for replying,

I have created a class based triggering workflow successfully now i am able to trigger my workflow after clicking on Button.

Now my requirement is when ever my workflow triggers the PR creator will get a mail in Workflow inbox with an user decision Approval/Reject whenever he clicks on Approval a Zscreen should be called. I have created the Zscreen in module pool and I have created my workflow as shown below

my question is how can i call my custom screen to my custom workflow whenever approval button is clicked.
