Action schedule for future date

[Former Member]

Hello All,

We have a requirement where we need to trigger an Action based on a custom date.Current date has to be greater than the custom date . How can we schedule an action, so that it would be triggered in future date automatically with out any user intervention. I have checked with Date profiles. That wouldnt help in this scenario. Once a custome date(future date) is put in saved , there will be no further save/manual intervention on the object .The action does not show up even when the current date is greate than the custom date.Do we have use some kind of events?Please respond.

Thanks

Dear Shakuntala,

You can use schedule conditions to determine whether the action should be scheduled.

Schedule conditions are evaluated while saving the document.

You can use start conditions to determine if an action has to be processed.

Start conditions are evaluated for all scheduled actions immediately, on save or in transaction SPPFP, depending on your action customizing

If you want a action to be triggered automatically in the future without user intervention, do not enter any schedule condition. The action will be always scheduled automatically/

If you enter start conditions, you can prevent the action from being processed untill the start condition is determined as true.

Schedule SPPFP to trigger your action.

You can also use optimization rules to improve performance of the SPPFP.

You can also find more info on the topic [here|http://sapcrmweblog.blogspot.com/2011/01/actions-in-transactions.html].

Hi Shakuntala,

You can acheive this by ehancing BOR objects. Once you enhance the BOR object, create a custom attribute. In the custom attribute check whether the custom date is greater than current date. then set the custom attribute of the BOR. This custom attribute can be used as a condition parameter in your actions.

Hope this helps you.
