Checking the Settings

All the tasks should now be correctly copied. To be sure, check the following three settings:

Check the binding to the object:
- Select Binding OM.
- &EXCEPTION& should be assigned to the field Exception.
- Choose Back.
Check the default role:
- Choose Standard Roles.
- The standard role for the agent should be 134. This ensures that the number of receivers is restricted using the inbound partner profile.
- Select Binding Editor. &_WI_OBJECT_ID& should be assigned to the parameter IDocNumber.
- Select Back twice.
Check the work item text:
- Select Work Item Text.
- A dialog box appears containing the work item text, which should contain two entries:
  &_WI_Object_Id.ShortMessage&:
  
  This entry ensures that the first 50 characters in the work item text (which form the first 50 characters of the error short text) contain the IDoc's attribute "ShortMessage".
  
  &_WI_Object_Id.ApplicationObjectID&:
  
  This entry ensures that the remaining work item text (which is formed using the ID of the application object in the IDoc) contains the IDoc's attribute "ApplicationObjectID". In the case of MATMAS, this is the material number. The attribute is determined using the ALE link object.
- Choose Back.
Note

An agent is assigned to a work item via Customizing for SAP Business Workflow. You can find these functions in transaction PPOMW (Change Organization and Staffing (WF)).
