Approval Status continues being APPROVED CCM 2.0

If we approve an item in the Procurement Catalog and then we change a characteristic using one of these following methods the status of the
item continues being approved:
1. we manually change some characteristic (required or not) in the Procurement Catalog
2. we change a characteristic (required or not) uploading a supplier catalog with modified characteristics and we have already map the
supplier to the master catalog and the master to the procurement catalog, so the new value of the characteristic appears modified in the procurement catalog.
3. we change a characteristic (required or not) in the Master Catalog and we have already map the supplier to the master and the master to the procurement, so the new value of the characteristic appears modified in the procurement catalog.
The Supplier Catalog has the status Manual Acceptance,
the Master Catalog has the status Approved, the Procurement Catalog To Be Approved and there are not approval rules.
THANKS IN ADVANCED!!!!

Hi all,
I hope you are using ccm v2. and csv file format
Do one time...if it is customize char. we have to recreate the supplier and master catalog schema..with customize char. First of all you have to create master catalog than supplier catalog with contents ..we have to map supplier catalog with master catalog , Lastly you have to create procurement catalog with schema(structure) file and link master catalog with procurement catalog..and publish the master catalog. This will solve your problem...

Purchase order in 'awaiting approval' status but no approval required

Hi
I am using SRM 4.0 SP 13. There is a purchase order which shows that no approval is required in the approval tab, but the overall status is 'awaiting approval'. Please can you advise if this is a Support pack issue? I have checked the workflow WS14000075 which is active.
Regards
Rajeev

Hi
You would need to check if the workflow has been able to release the PO properly. Only after successful release completion by workflow, PO status gets changed to ordered from awaiting approval. Check the workflow log to see if there are any errors. Use txn-SWI1 or SWI6 to go into workflow log. Also reactive your workflow WS14000075 using txn swdd and try creating new PO.

Awaiting approval status when SC approved

Hi Guys,
We are working on SRM 4.0 in classic scenario. We have a weird situation where the shopping cart has been completely approved but the status is still in "awaiting approval". We are using teh item based approval badi.
Does anybody have an insight to why this is happening. We never had this issue in the QA box in the past. The problem suddenly shows up.
Please advise.
Thanks,
Sundeep

Not to be suspicious, but did your BC team recently upgraded your SRM Server with new service pack? If you are on SAPKIBKS09 your problem is implementation of note 842969 which is included in that service pack.
I had similar problem where shopping carts were stuck in awaiting approval when they were partially rejected.
We solve problem with implementing Note 930750 RESTART: No restart anymore with classic workflows.

Workflow-status is awaiting approval for rejected item

Hello,
I am working on SRM 5.5. Extended classic scenario.
I have implemented the workflow WS1400133 for 3-step SC approval ( using the corresponding BADI) .
I have an issue , where, if the shopping cart is rejected by one of the approvers, then the approval overview shows result : REJECTED , however, the approval status in the ( approval transaction) , shows the workflow status as 'AWATING APPROVAL'.
So, the user cannot modify the shopping cart to resubmit for approval.
Any inputs as to why this is happening and any solution to this ?
Thanks in advance,
Aravind Nair.

Hi Arvind,
When the SC is rejected ,the total value fo the SC becomes 0.Have you set the parameter "no_further_approval_needed" for this condition(for rej items)?
ALso refer the note 790027.Hope this helps.

When an Approval Status is set to a number

hi,
When an approval status is set to a number , then what does it signify.
For eg.
In a condition step, if approval status = 15 or approval status = 2 then what does it signify.
how do we understand that what is the value which has to be assigned for approval status.
thanks in advance.

In SRM 5.0, there is an include which identifies the various values that Approval Status (and other things) can have.
These can be found in the function group BBP_WFLH in the include BBP_WFL_CON.
If you are on SRM 5.0, this might be helpful to know.

Sue

Need to Display Approvers name with approval status in PR

Hi,
We have a requirement to display the Approvers name with the approval status(for each Approve) in the purchase requisition. the developer has all the logic to achieve this and he said we cannot display this in the release strategy tab in PR but we can display the same in the tab- Customer data at the item level since it has more space. the user came back saying we should have this information in a new tab in PR with the name Approvers overview or else in any place in PR where the Buyers can easily identify where to find the list of approver names in the PR.we don't want to create a new custom tab just for this reason in the PR item. not sure whether we can really create one.
can you please let me know where can we display the Approvers name in the PR(item level)so that the users can easily identify those.
just wanted to know how is this handled in your company do you display the approvers name with release status any where in the PR, if yes where do you display?
Thanks
Mahendra

Approval status after copying sharepoint issue (help friend)

Re !
It's surely easy...I gonna try to be clear :)
In sharepoint I got 2 lists : list01 and list02
On my list01 I have a workflow.
In the list01, if the approval status of my item is "approved" then I copy the item in list02.
My problem is :
the copied item in my list02 (yet "approved" in list01) have a approval status "waiting for approval"
Strange ?
How to keep it "approved" ? What I do not do well ? I have to change my workflow on list01 ? Create a workflow on list02 ? Settings/configure on my list02 ?
I don't understand this behavior.
Thank you for reading.
Regards

Hi,
The approval status column is a system column, it cannot be copied by workflow.
You can click approve/reject button in the ribbon to approve or reject the new item in list02 manually.
Or you could change the approval status from “waiting for approval” to “approved” by code in the list02.
The article below is about how to update the content approval status column.

How we can change items in TO be Approved status to Appproved status in CCM

Hi,
Is there any method to change items in "To be approved status" to "Approved" in procurement catalog in CCM1.0?
Thanks

Hi Prithwiraj
The simple answer is you approve them! You should assign yourself as an approver in the catalog (Under tab 'Schema' -> Manage Approvers), your user should also then have the role /ccm/catalog_approver, once they do, the link will appear on the catalog home page to approve catalog entries, you should then go in to the relevent catalog and select Find -> Items for approval -> Select all -> Approve
Hope this helps.

Confirmation of goods with "Approved" Status

Hi All,
We are at SRM7.0 and working on extended classic.
After performing confirmation of goods receipt in SRM, the status is still showing as "approved" and not "posted in backend".
Kindly let us know how to reprocess these confirmations in SRM system.
Regards
K Gp

Hi Masa,
The document status in BBP_PD is showing as I1022 (Inactive = Blank).
There is no entry with status "Currently being transferred" in Status section in BBP_PD for this confirmation.
Checked in RZ20 tcode and didn't find any error related to this.
I tried executing the FM - BBP_PD_CONF_TRANSFER and BBP_PD_CONF_TRANSFER_V2. But no success.
If there is a way to process this confirmation again then pls let me know.

Approval status at item level

Hi,
I need to know whether the shopping cart item is rejected or not.(need to know the approval status at item level) and then make the rejection reason as mandatory.
I tried to get the value of the flag DEDUCT_IND from each item,but it is never set to 'X' eventhough I reject an item.could anybody please tell me when this flag will be changed or is there any other way to find the approval status at item level.
Regards,
Rohini

What is your SRM Version ?
If you have implemented process control workflow for Item level approval, then.
Once the approver rejects and item, the workflow sends the workitem back to the requester to make changes are accept the rejection. If the requester accepts the rejection then the workflow continues. If the workflow does not have any more approver then the shopping cart is approved and the line item which is rejected by approver is set to DELETE. i.e. BBP_PDIGP-DEL_IND is set to 'X'.

Workflow Error Message: System Account - The Workflow could not set Content Approval Status

This is the first time I try an approval workflow. I am using a template in MS Word and assigned an approval workflow to it. The approval workflow is only going to one person in this case.
When I start the work flow the following 3 error messages show up:
Workflow Error Message: System Account - The Workflow could not set Content Approval Status. Enable content moderation for this list and run the workflow again.
Workflow Error Message: System Account - The e-mail message cannot be sent. Make sure the e-mail has a valid recipient.
Workflow Error Message: System Account - The e-mail message cannot be sent. Make sure the outgoing e-mail settings for the server are configured correctly.
Thank you for your kind guidance.

Hi,
For the first error: Did you set Content Approval in the workflow? If so, see if you have it in the versioning settings of the list settings.
For the second error: double check your recipient is set up as being valid. Did you type in the email address or is it referring to a people picker field? also, make sure that in the workflow for the email that you actually populated it in the
To: field.
for the third error: I suspect that either your farm is not configured for email. Or, this error is a knock on from the second error. If you get the second error rectified it may clear this error. If not then double check the email settings
for your farm.

Triggering a scheduled event based on the approval status

Hi,
I have created schedules for my project (one task and one milestone) with three phases(draft,approval,approved). The milestone is dependent on the task.Task is created for draft phase and milastone for approval phase
Now after creating the schedules when I have saved the project, even before i put my project in the draft phase the schedule is getting triggered and can be seen on the workbench in the events channel.
That means the schedules are getting triggered based on the date irrespective of the task or milestone being completed and also the schedule for a task needs to be triggered each time until the task is completed.
So now I want accomplish two things -
1. How can I trigger the schedule only when the user puts it in the draft phase or any required phase ?
2. How can I send a mail to the collaborator each day until he proceed the project to approved status and only on getting "approved" status the milestone schedule should be triggered.

Both would require scripting...
on phase change, add the required events
build a custom class that gets called nightly via scheduled task and searches through the projects meeting your criteria and sends them an email reminder.

How to show catalog items with Approval Status:Pending in a Content Search Webpart

How to show catalog items with Approval Status:Pending in a Content Search Webpart using cross site publishing. Thanks in advance.

I don't think you're going to be able to. Usually Approval Status is used in conjunction with Major/Minor versioning and while Approval Status is pending the item is usually a draft.
As a result the search crawler should not be able to see the draft items as it would not have the necessary rights to do so. (Good practice ensures that the Search Crawler has only read access and is not an elevated account for this reason)

AP completes audit before status is 'Manager Approved'

Hi,
This is regarding the sr 3-3926612411.
Product version is 11.5.10.2
Issue
===
Customer wants to know is there any way to prevent AP to complete audit if the report status of the expense report is not 'manager approved'?
The expense report was audited for the first time on May 3 and the expense report was approved by 2 more managers after that and then re-audited again on June 8. However the report was never imported into AP, and we asked the preparer to withdraw and resubmit for approval and the whole approval process has to re-run again and a lot of time is being delayed on the payment to the requestor. It appears that because AP completes audit before manager approval it does not complete the flow properly into AP
Please advice!!

BCM - Approval status

Hi All,
I made all relevant settings for BCM.
Run the APP & created payment batch. Also got it approved.
Even after downloading the file, the batch is not being moved from "Approved" status to "Sent to Bank" status. (Refer TCode BNK_MONI).
Is there any config settings required for the same?
please advise.
Regards
Malathi

Hello Alaa,
2. Out of Swift Channel - I hope this is via PI flow. Here you have to do some mapping in PI side and configuration in Sap ( Map external status to internal status in BCM ) to get the correct messages / acknowledgement after sending the file from SAP to PI side and from PI side to Third party who is sending the encrypted file to bank.
Once the encrypted payment file is placed in AL11 folder after the BCM approvals and the same will be displayed as Payment medium created of that batch.
Once the third party is receiving the file from PI side thn the message is as Received by payment network to that batch.
It will change as Received by bank once the bank receives the file.
If the payment documents data is correct then the message is shown as Accepted by bank once bank accepts that file
You can find the status of that batch in BNK_MONI by selecting the batch andthen check the history of that batch.
I hope it helps!
Thanks & Regards,
Lakshmi S
