How To Create Quotations

Using transaction code ME47, we can create a quotation based on a request for quotation.
Step 1)
  1. Transaction code for quotation maintenance – ME47.
  2. RFQ: request for quotation that we are using as a reference document.
  3. Press ENTER.
Step 2)
  1. RFQ quantity
  2. Delivery date
  3. Net price per unit of measure
  4. Storage Location
  1. Item details you will be presented the following screen.You may change details as per your requirements
  1. Additional data you can access some additional information on item level.
  1. If you want to change general header data click on the "Hat" icon.
  1. If you choose Item Conditions icon/button you can maintain pricing conditions for the currently selected item. Here, you can enter conditions like surcharge, freight cost, discount etc.
If you are done, you can save the data. If you need to change the quotation, you can do it by using the same t-code (ME47), or you can display it's data by using ME48.
You can repeat the process to create quotations for all of the RFQs. If certain vendor didn't answer your request for quotation, then you will not create a quotation for the vendor.

Get the Reason Text from User Decision in Workflow

Purpose: The purpose of this document is to capture the reason text from the user decision step in workflow.

Business Scenario: When a user decision with the APPROVE and REJECT options are sent to the approver, there always comes a business need to allow the user to enter a “Rejection Reason” text, when the approver does a rejection.

In this document we will see how to use this feature and capture the rejection reason text:

Create Custom Workflow and Method to read the REJECTION Reason for Demo
We create the user decision step and mark the two branches APPROVE and REJECTED as shown:

We can mark the Reason as Mandatory or Required.
Mandatory: This means, that the Reason has to be mandatorily entered when the corresponding action is performed, else the user decision work item cannot be completed.

Required: This means, that entering the Reason is optional. The pop-up to enter the reason will appear, but it is not needed to enter anything to complete the work item.



The step is saved. When the user enters the Reason, it will get appended into the _ATTACH_OBJECTS standard container of the workflow.

This multiline element points to the SOFM Business Object.
We will now write a method to read this attachment and transfer to a text string.
This method will be an instance independent method. This means, it can be called without instantiating the BOR.
The parameters for this method are shown below

The details of the parameters are
Parameter WORKITEMID:
Parameter REASON_TXT:
We will be passing the work item ID of the workflow and this method will read the container _ATTACH_OBJECTS and pass the Rejection Text to variable REASON_TXT.

The code that you will write in the method is given below: (You can write your own code to read and process the SOFM Attachment Object as per your need)

Predecessor work item will contain the Work Item ID of the User Decision Step.
The user decision step is just the previous step to this background step in this workflow template.
The workflow will look like as shown below after adding the above step in the REJECT branch of the User Decision


We run the user decision from business workplace SBWP
Now select REJECT to process rejection. Normally the work item would get completed here, but the system will generate a POP-UP to prompt for the Reason.
This pop-up will appear due to our configuration. We enter the REJECTION Reason text and press OK
(Please note, if you cancel this POP-UP, the work item will still remain in your inbox and not get completed. This is because we marked the Reason as MANDATORY)
Looking at the workflow log, we can see that the element _ATTACH_OBJECTS (Attachments) contains the SOFM entry
