Trigger WF Programatically

[karuna_gangireddy]

Hi All,

Could any one out there please tell me if there is a way to start/trigger the WF programmatically. My WF is triggering well through the triggering events but i want to trigger the WF in the user exit. I am not sure how to do this. Please advice.

Thanks,

Karuna\.

There's a user exit which is called after the material document is posted, but just before the 'commit work' takes place. I think it's 'EXIT_SAPLMBMB_001.

Raise your workflow event programmatically there using 'SWE_EVENT_CREATE_FOR_UPD_TASK' in update task. You'll have the material document number/year in the MKPF structure by then, so you should be well equipped for any subsequent workflow.

Reward points if it helps

You have to raise an event from inside the user exit.

To do this use FM SWE_EVENT_CREATE

You can also generate a change document and attach the event from there.

pls. reward if helpful

here a code sample:

INCLUDE <CNTAIN>. " Definizione MACRO

DATA: KEY LIKE SWEINSTCOU-OBJKEY.

Key(18) = rmmg1-matnr.

key+18(4) = marc-werks.

key+22(2) = stato.

SWC_CONTAINER T_SWCONT.

SWC_SET_ELEMENT T_SWCONT 'Codice' rmmg1-matnr.

SWC_SET_ELEMENT T_SWCONT 'Plant' marc-werks.

SWC_SET_ELEMENT T_SWCONT 'Stato' stato.

CALL FUNCTION 'SWE_EVENT_CREATE'

EXPORTING

OBJTYPE = 'businessobject'

OBJKEY = KEY

EVENT = 'eventname'

TABLES

EVENT_CONTAINER = T_SWCONT

EXCEPTIONS

OBJTYPE_NOT_FOUND = 1

OTHERS = 2.

endif.

commit work.
