I have a scenario where I want to trigger an async BPA WF based on new rows being inserted in INVOICE_TAB.
When using an intercompany invoice scenario - customer invoice in company A and supplier invoice in company B, the supplier invoice in company B is created by Connectivity Outbox background job.
It seems the event action / WF is not trigerred when record is being inserted by a Backgroung Job.
Do you know if there’s any workaround for that?
I did turn on Watch on the WF, but the only observations being logged are the ones for the Customer Invoice in company A which is created online.
Any input on this is much appreciated.

@Marcel.Ausan ok perfect so all is triggering correctly then.
Next step is that the workflow observations is not always working (depending on the version) you need to look into the BPA_ASYNC_SYS_TAB table.
Are sure about the entities on which you want to trigger the event/workflow? As it seems to be more an event error then something to do with the workflow?
If you setup just an email action or so does your event get triggered?
@kvbe I just did a quick test to create an mail event action in the same event. I get both emails. One for Customer Invoice and another one for Supplier Invoice. So, it’s just the event action for WF that doesn’t get triggered
In the WF Observations I only see details for Invoice Id - 13589 - Customer Invoice that is created offline. No observations for supplier invoice that is created via background job.
So, I found the async record in BPA_ASYNC_RECORDS. Status is Done and I also have the attr with all the parameters the WF was called with.
So, it appears even if the environment is 24R2, the observations for async workflows are not saved when enabling the ‘watch’.
In the end, there was a logic issue in the WF and it didn’t update the record. When I saw no updates and no observations logged, I thought the WF is not executed. But that’s not the case.
