Express Expense Sheet not triggering any workflows

[Gustav1]

Hi guys

I hope you are doing well.

Has anyone worked with the workflow for Express Expense Sheets before? We managed to trigger the WS20000040 workflow for expenses captured using the normal ESS Expense application, but when we try to capture the same expense using the Express Expense sheet - nothing gets triggered. We also managed to trigger the workflow in PR02 which is the equivalent of the express expense sheet in the backend.

According to SAP Help (see link below) it should be as simple as activating the workflow event linkage.

[http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/04/928bce46f311d189470000e829fbbd/frameset.htm]

This is new functionality which SAP provides as part of the EhP4 offering, so there is not a lot of information available on SDN or elsewhere on the matter. I see quite a few OSS Notes relating to the expense sheet, but none of these relate to the workflow.

Hopefully one of you guys can shed some light.

Kind Regards

Gustav Coleske

Hi Raj

Thanks for the feedback. The workflow customising is fine. The system triggers other workflows correctly.

Any other ideas?

Kind Regards

We have the same issue. While EhP1 or EhP2 functionality triggers a workflow the express expense sheet does not.

Somebody found a solution for this?

Hi,

Can you check whether wf-batch has been configured in the backend?

Go to t-code - SWU3 and check Maintain Runtime Environment .

Best Regards,

Raj
