This request is also to change the automatic payment block R on travel agent invoices to use payment block T = Travel, which will allow payment block to be used exclusively for MIR7 invoices that have a quantity issue.

Description

A new Grantor CRM workflow utility is being requested to manage specifics scenarios, while SAP does have standard tcodes like SWPR to re-start workflow after error.

But in the UN's case, we are requesting the utility to complete the existing error workflow and start a new one.

The errors could happen when:

• Proper attributes are not maintained in the service org.

• Agent assignment is wrongly done.

Since these errors are more technical in nature, analysis is needed and after successful maintenance of the attributes in the service organization, e to re-trigger the workflow.

The work is also technical in nature as it needs the GUID/Business object of the document to be inserted into the container element. The proposed utility will be more user-friendly and avoid mistakes when having to analyze and work with the aforementioned items.
