Process Controlled WF - Recalculation of process schema

[Former Member]

Dear forum members!

We are using SRM 7.0 with process-controlled workflow for local purchase contracts and orders.

Process determination depends on several fields in a document. One of these fields is a customer Z-field and it is changeable by user during document edition (when it is in "saved" status). But after changes of the field without saving the document a new process scheme doesn't determinate and we see an old list of approvers. We should save the document and after the next opening the new process scheme will be determinated and we see a new list of approvers.

Is it a correct system behaviour that it doesn't determinate process scheme "online"? May we influence on the online process determination by BAdI /SAPSRM/BD_WF_PROCESS_RESTART?

Thank you in advance!

Best regards,

Alexander

Hi,

What is the test result by save and refresh or just refresh?

Hi, Masa!

A new process scheme and new list of approvers is determined only after changing the field (so the process scheme should change too), then saving and opening a document again.

If we change the field (so the process scheme should change too) and then press 'Check' button there is no effect, we see the old list of approvers.

Best regards,

Alexander

Hi,

Do you use change version for contract and PO ?

Before saving the initial version - workflow is not started. UI shows simulation result.

Middle of completion process - workflow has been started. Change is not saved. UI shows current info.

I think this is expected behavior.

We use the initial version. It is saved after creation and edited by user. We expect that the system will show the simulated list of approvers after changes but there is no one - only current info.

Please check the "Application Buffering" check box of your Expression.. It should be checked..
