[ABAP] Add custom message in workflow log

In a function exit of a workflow task, you can copy the sample coding out of class CL_SWH_WORKITEM_EXIT_LOG to append a custom message

METHOD if_swf_ifs_workitem_exit~event_raised .
  DATA: ls_msg TYPE swr_mstruc.
  DATA: ls_por TYPE sibflporb.
  DATA: l_cnt TYPE REF TO if_swf_ifs_parameter_container.

  me->m_ctx = im_workitem_context.
  IF im_event_name EQ swrco_event_after_creation.
    ls_msg-msgid = 'SWH'.
    ls_msg-msgty = 'S'.
    ls_msg-msgno = '100'.
    ls_msg-msgv1 = 'CL_SWH_WORKITM_EXIT_LOG'.
    ls_msg-msgv2 = 'swrco_event_after_creation'.
    l_cnt = m_ctx->get_wi_container( ).
    TRY.
        CALL METHOD l_cnt->get
          EXPORTING
            name  = swrco_wi_leading_object
          IMPORTING
            value = ls_por.
        CALL METHOD m_ctx->set_message_to_log
          EXPORTING
            im_message    = ls_msg
            im_object_por = ls_por.
      CATCH cx_swf_cnt_container .
    ENDTRY.
  ENDIF.
ENDMETHOD.                    "IF_SWF_IFS_WORKITEM_EXIT~EVENT_RAISED

But to add a message in general, only the workitem context is needed. If you got the context, just use method set_message_to_log.

* context type: im_workitem_context TYPE REF TO if_wapi_workitem_context   

" text in im_function will be displayed in workitem log (max char30),
" message in im_message will give further information when clicking on the traffic light (max char 70).
im_workitem_context->set_message_to_log( im_function = |Forward: Mail { var }|
                                         im_message = VALUE #( msgid = '00'
                                                               msgty = 'S'
                                                               msgno = '000'
                                                               msgv1 = |var 1|
                                                               msgv2 = |var 2| ) ).
* In some cases "COMMIT WORK" is needed.

You’ll find the log entry in workitem flog view:

[ABAP] Leave Request Approval Workflow with Escalation

During the leave request approval process the standard workflow WS12300111 does not include any deadlines. To archieve this you can simply copy the workflow and add a deadline at the approval task (Step 38). There are two possible ways to forward the approval step to the next processor:
1. When deadline is reached, forward the current workitem to the next approver.
2. When deadlines is reached, set current workitem to obsolete and create a new workitem and assign it to the next approver. Then you also have to add the new step ID to this BAdI Filter.

I selected the first option. In my demo the escalation is triggered after just three minutes.

The deadline generates a new exit on the approval step.

In this new exit you are able to call your own logic on finding the new approver, forward the workitem and inform him via mail if necessary.

To forward the request to the next approver, you have to forward the workitem and also set this new approver as next processor in the current leave request.
So first identify the next approver. I used RH_GET_LEADER for this.

*--------------------------------------------------*
* Get next approver
*--------------------------------------------------*
    CALL FUNCTION 'RH_GET_LEADER'
      EXPORTING
        plvar                     = '01'
        keydate                   = sy-datum
        otype                     = is_approver-otype
        objid                     = CONV realo( is_approver-objid )
      IMPORTING
        leader_type               = lv_leader_type
        leader_id                 = lv_leader_id
      EXCEPTIONS
        no_leader_found           = 1
        no_leading_position_found = 2
        OTHERS                    = 3.

    CHECK lv_leader_type EQ 'P' AND lv_leader_id IS NOT INITIAL.

    CALL FUNCTION 'HR_GET_USER_FROM_EMPLOYEE'
      EXPORTING
        pernr             = CONV pernr_d( lv_leader_id )
        iv_with_authority = abap_false
      IMPORTING
        user              = lv_userid_approver.

    ev_approver-otype = |US|.
    ev_approver-objid = lv_userid_approver.


Then set this new approver as next processor in your request. While doing this, it’s recommended to enqueue and dequeue the request. To get the current request object use class cl_pt_req_badi.

*--------------------------------------------------*
* Set new approver in request
*--------------------------------------------------*
    " Enqueue the request
    CALL FUNCTION 'ENQUEUE_EPTREQ'
      EXPORTING
        mode_ptreq_header = 'S'
        mandt             = sy-mandt
        request_id        = io_req->req_id
      EXCEPTIONS
        foreign_lock      = 1
        system_failure    = 2
        OTHERS            = 3.

    " Get the request object instance
    CALL METHOD cl_pt_req_badi=>get_request
      EXPORTING
        im_req_id  = io_req->req_id
      IMPORTING
        ex_request = DATA(lcl_request).

    CALL METHOD lcl_request->set_next_processor
      EXPORTING
        im_actor_type = 'P'
        im_plvar      = '01'
        im_otype      = 'P'
        im_objid      = CONV #( lv_leader_id ). " PERNR of Next Approver
    IF sy-subrc = 0.
      COMMIT WORK AND WAIT.
    ENDIF.

    " Dequeue the request
    CALL FUNCTION 'DEQUEUE_EPTREQ'
      EXPORTING
        mode_ptreq_header = 'S'
        request_id        = io_req->req_id.

Finally forward the workitem to the new approver. There of course you need the right workitem ID of the approving step.

*--------------------------------------------------*
* Forward workitem to next approver
*--------------------------------------------------*
    CALL FUNCTION 'SAP_WAPI_FORWARD_WORKITEM'
      EXPORTING
        workitem_id  = iv_wi_id                "woritem id of approving step
        user_id      = lv_userid_approver
        language     = sy-langu
        do_commit    = 'X'
      IMPORTING
        return_code  = lv_subrc.
    IF lv_subrc <> 0.
    ENDIF.
