Reminder Items in Workflow

[Former Member]

Hello all,

I need urgent help.

I have an workitem which should start the release of an purchase Requisition. Reminder should be send , if it wasn't handeld  in time.

How can I set the deadline dynamicly ? How can I trigger an event , which will be the start Event for the  reminder sending workitem ?

Thanks in advance

Hello

Just create a FORK with two parallel branches and with end condition completion of " 2 necessary branches"  . In one branch, you can place your task to release a purchase requisition and in Other branch create a WAIT step (with requested start deadline) followed by an email step. Once the WAIT step is completed reminder email will be triggered.

sounds good. Can I set the wait time  dynamicly?

Hello

You can create a container elements for DATE and Time and you can update these container within the workflow or outside the workflow dynamically (using SAP_WAPI_WRITE_CONTAINER and SAP_WAPI_READ_CONTAINER )

Yes you can set wait time dynamically. You can use expression there and provide variables.

Thanks

if I use this fork, how can I guarantee,that the reminder wouldn't be sent, if the releasestep was allready processed?

Once the release step is complete the workflow will continue and the fork will end.

The step to send the reminder will be obsolete.
