Engineering Change Record : Workflow start

[former_member192883]

Hi Everyone,

I am using CRED engineering record type, and I created a process route for this.

When I change the status from Change Inquiry (10) to Change request in process (20), workflow doesn't get started .

I am not sure what I am missing here, could you please help us out here.

Thank you

Hi,

Also please check if the workflow linkage is active and also workflows are configured for this change type.

SPRO-ECM-Change type - Define change type for change master record.

Hi Keerthi,

I looked into, Set workflow for ECR/ECO.

Please find the attached screens, I guess they are activated.

Thank you

Hi,

You can turn on workflow trace from SWELS and create process route.Then turn off the trace and display the results using SWEL.

Check whether any workflow is getting triggered or which workflow is getting triggered for your scenario.

Hi folks,

please be aware that ECR/ECP workflow does not have to do anything with the Engineering Record workflow Mohan is inquiring about.

Hello Everyone,

I realized that a few workflow items needs to be activated in SWU3.

Also I have to activate standard task and workflow template in the following path.

SPRO ->Logistic General->Product Lifecycle Management -> Case Management -> Set Process Route -> Activate Workflow. 

I was able to activate the workflow template but not the standard task. Help provided on "Activate Workflow" node is kind of confusing.

Simi,

Use SWUE to reactivate the workflow for the objects (Either Document or Materials) linked to ECN.

Hi,

are you sure you saved your Engineering Record after switching the status, and refreshed your screen?

Please check if there is a button "Start Workflow" appearing in the Engineering Record Process Route tab.

Hello Petzel,

Thanks for your reply.

Yes, I did saved my ECR after switching the status , I refresh the screen too.

There is no,start workflow button available on process route tab.

Is there anything I have to activate on the configuration side in order to start the workflow ?

Please let me know

Thank you
