Object documentationStandard Task TS33700020: PD Form Is Edited Again by Author (Web Dynpro)

 

You can use this standard task to return a form of type FPM Form to a user to edit another time. With this standard task, the user receives a returned form that he or she has already edited. This task is triggered in the following conditions:

  • When a user of the form chooses the Back to Author function in the form application

  • If the workflow is modeled according to the related workflow step for the processing status (PROCSTATE) BACK.

This task corresponds to the Process PD Form standard task. The differences are:

  • The values of the processing statuses that are output are different (see below).

  • The Back to Author function is not available in the form application.

For more information, see the documentation on Standard Task TS33700018: Process PD Form (Web Dynpro).

Processor Assignment

You can use this standard task for all HCM Processes and Forms workflow templates, and store a corresponding agent assignment rule for the workflow steps. When using this standard task, make sure that the same user who first edited the form receives the work item.

For more information, see Agent Assignment Rules.

Authorization Check

The P (Process) activity is used for the P_ASRCONT authorization object.

Process Control

Container Definition: Import Elements

  • Processor role (PROCESSOR_ROLE) – Optional

    Here you enter the role of the processor who executes the workflow step. If you do not specify a processor role, the HR Administrator (HRASRA) processor role is assigned in the standard release. It is necessary to enter the processor role, for example, for Data Tracking at the process-step level and for Message Mapping.

Note Note

The configuration options in the binding editor are identical to the task TS04000018: Process PD Form. Only the PROCSTATE element returns different values.

End of the note.

  • Processing Status (PROCSTATE) – Optional

    You can use this element to specify that the processing status is to be transferred from the workflow step to the workflow container once the work item is completed (workflow binding <- Form Is Edited Again by Author step). If the processing status is known in the workflow container, you can process the other workflow steps in accordance with the processing status.

    The processing status can have the following value:

    • RESENT

      The work item was processed successfully. The user has chosen the Send function in the Review and Send view of the form application.

      Note Note

      You control the subsequent workflow steps, such as those for approving the form, on the basis of the Sent Back processing status. This is necessary so that you can differentiate subsequent process steps from those resulting from the first editing.

      End of the note.

    Data type (Data Type tab page, ABAP Dictionary Reference field): Structure HRASR00_PROCESS_MODELLING and Field PROCESSING_STATUS

  • Container element notify_via_e-mail - Optional

    You use this container element to specify whether an e-mail notification is sent to the next agent involved in a process. If e-mail notification is set to X = TRUE, an e-mail is sent to the agent, advising them that there is a work item waiting to be processed. They can access the work item directly from the body of the e-mail. If it is set to _ = FALSE, no e-mail is sent; the agent can access work items to be processed in the UWL.

  • Container element BUSINESS_STATUS - Optional

    You use this container element to specify whether the business status is visible to the user in the process browser. If business status is set to X = TRUE, you can see the business status for the request step. If it is set to _ = FALSE, only the processing status is displayed; the business status cannot be seen.
