Approval step without capacity ad hoc

Hi,
In some workflows for some users we get the error message when we want to previsualize the approval levels of a Shopping Cart:
"Approval step without capacity ad hoc, prevision impossible"
What is the reason for this error message and how to correct it.
Thanks for any reply,
Aart

Hello Latha,
   This error will not come until you add Ad-hoc approver at last level..for an example.. there are 5 approvers determined by Badi.. You will get this issue when you add Ad-hoc approver after 5th Level of approver then all approver(Including Ad-approver) approved the SC / PO. Here is the solution for this issue.
write the code in your Badi after you appended the approval_table.
    data : lv_index type i.
    describe table approval_table lines lv_index.
     if actual_approval_index gt lv_index.
     no_further_approval_needed = 'X'.
     endif.
please let me know if you need anything help.

Approval step without adhoc capability. No preview possible

Hi All,
I'm using the standard n-step approval workflow (SRM 5.0) for shopping cart and have implemented the workflow badi. It works good for the approval process.
While the user rejects the cart it works good until the 2nd level of approvers. But from the third level though the cart gets rejected it's throwing me the error
" Approval step without adhoc capability. No preview possible " in the graphical overview.
Can anybody please help me to overcome this issue. Points will be awarded for the solution.
Thanks & Regards,
Prasnna

"Crazy" parallel approval step

Hi all,
I'm using R3 v4.7 and I have a very strage problem in a
workflow to approve purchase requisitions.
I use a parallel step with 7 forks (4 mandatory and 3 optional according to the material groups). In this parallel step I use the deadlines to approve automatically after x days.
In some cases I get the following "crazy" behaviour:
the workflow doesn't continue in this parallel step in the normal way. The green line that highlights the flow in the log has interruptions that I don't understand and some tasks can be sent to any user since some steps are skipped wothout a reason.
I still don't know if there are OSS notes about this issue and I should like to know from you if you have found a similar problem using deadlines. The other approval steps (without deadlines) never had a problem like this.
I'd like to attach a screenshot of the log to be clearer...
Thanks in advance and best regards,
Angelo

Hi,
I had a similar issue a while back for a condition. The first step after the left branch somehow returned to the right branch, it looked pretty weird in the workflow log.
I then wrote an OSS message and in the end someone fixed it, it was caused by corrupt data in some of the nodes tables, SAP couldn't tell me how this was possible though.
Other times this can happen if you're on DEV with a couple of WF developers, it then helps to refresh all of the buffers or even logging of and logging in again.
Kind regards, Rob Dielemans

Adhoc Approval Step

Running on SRM 7.0 - Processed Control Workflow. Is there a way to tell on a current approval step that an adhoc approver has been added. In the BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI we are wanting to put some automated comments in the approval note, so when the adhoc agent gets the work item they will see the notes. I know after getting out of the BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI, that table /SAPSRM/D_WF_016 gets updated and there are some other tables that have the next level id, etc.. and there are classes and methods that I can use, but I am looking for some type of way to know during the badi, that the next level coming up will now be an adhoc level instead of the next pre-determined level done that was set at the submission of the shopping cart.

Adding system and client specific TMS approval steps

Hello,
In defining QA approval steps, how to define a step which is not system and client wide?
When adding a new step, it is automaticaly defined with * in the client and system fields, and when changing the steps, these fields are not editable. However, there are several approval steps for which a specific system and client are entered, but this was done by a consultant, who was here some years ago.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks in advance,
A

Hi Aleksandra,
Did you ever find a solution to this issue. I too have multiple QA systems in our landscape (4 system landscape), and yet I can not defined system/client specific approval procedures in STMS.
The system and client options don't even appear when I go into change mode, yet table TMSQASTEPS has the options available. Direct table update works fine, but it would be nice to know the "SAP standard" way of doing this.
Cheers
Shaun

How to skip approving steps for users who are also approvers?

We have a business need to be able to skip the approving steps for the users who are also approvers.
For this following steps were followed :-
1) Open .task file and go into the Assignment tab. Double click on the performer box within the routing slip, this should open the "Edit Participant Type" editor. Expand the "Advanced" section and place a check next to "specify skip rule", then click the edit icon to the right. Now enter an XPath expression that will test whether the current user is equal to the task creator.
2) We used - isUserInRole XPath function in the "Identify Service Functions" dropdown - first param to function is the userID, the 2nd is the role name.
We tried with hardcoded userID as well as by using
ids:isUserInRole(/task:task/task:systemAttributes/task:updatedBy/task:id,'California')
where 'California' is the group name (as one of the forum threads told this function works with groups).
We also tried with swimlane roles(using bpm.getPerformer() function) but it does not work either.
Please let me know if any one has any solution to this problem.

session as DirectorySession = DirectorySession.currentEngineSession
dirHum as Fuego.Fdi.DirHumanParticipant = DirHumanParticipant.fetch(session : session, id : "myUserId")
result = hasRoleAssigned(dirHum, role : "Approver")Give that a try...

How to use the Validate step for Approve step

Hi Experts,
I have modeled a workflow with the steps start,process, validate, approve, process and stop.
Process is set to owner and approve is set to some other user user1.
My requirement is as follows :
1) Approve the records by approver and then it should send it to the next step for further processing
1.1) if the approver did not approve the record it should send a error message until the record is approved. So it should not send it to the next step when record is not approved
I am using a field called item status for approving and disapproving the records. My validation is based on this field only... Validation working fine when i tested it manually.
But my issue is when am using this validate step in workflow design validation is getting triggered for all the users.as per my requirement only approver should get the error message.But in my scenario owner is getting the error message and approver is not getting any message.
How can i use the validate step only for particular step say approve in workflow.
Can anyone please help me out how should use validate step only for approve step...
Thanks & Regards
Sireesha.
Edited by: sireesha esukapalli on Jun 17, 2008 2:48 PM

Hi ,
I have set the validation property to "None".
My design is as follows :
start->process->validate->approve->stop.
Owner is assigned to process step and approver is assigned to approve step.
Now my problem is owner is also getting this error message along with the approver. AS per the design both process, approve users are getting the error message.
As per my requirement only approver should get this prompt but not the owner.
How can i restrict only for specifc user to get this message.
Can anybody please advice how can restrict the owner to not get this error message...
Thanks & Regards
Sireesha.

Hi I bought a second-hand phone iphone4, I update the software when you want to activate the phone asked for my registration icloud I do not know what is the password for this registration, can you tell me how to go to the next step without such registration in icloud
my ICCID is 8935905000307066111

Unfortunately, you cannot do very much with your phone unless you get assistance from the previous owner, they should either provide you with the password to unlock it or remove their account from the phone entirely remotely through iCloud.com > Find My Phone.

Account is SysAdmin - but Non-SysAdmins have been denied permission to run DTS Execution job steps without a proxy account.

Hi,
I have a SQL Agent Job that executes an SSIS package. However when I manually execute the SQL Agent job from SSMS I get the following seemingly common error:
"Non-SysAdmins have been denied permission to run DTS Execution job steps without a proxy account."
However, the job owner is a member of both the SQL SysAdmin role, and also a member of the operating system's Administrators group.
The SQL Agent Service is running under Local Service (not something within my control unfortunately).
I have found many posts suggesting setting up a proxy account etc, but that seems to be for the case where the job owner is not a sys admin. To be clear, the job owner IS a sysadmin.
This is occurring in the Production environment. I have two other, seemingly identical environments that are working fine, so i am wondering if I have missed something obvious.
Any idea what I've missed?
details:
Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard
SQL Server 2008 R2 (SP2) - 10.50.4000.0 (X64) Enterprise Edition
Note - the jobs were migrated to the broken environment by scripting them from Env 1, with If exists, drop, create etc.
Thanks
Guy

Obviously, as soon as I post this I figure out the issue:
In the script i had provided for migrating the job to the new environment (to which I have no access) the DBA replaced the @owner_login_name value with a different login. The account he used does have SysAdmin privileges but for some reason
changing the account in the script did not correctly update in the job.
On opening the job in SSMS it appeared to have the correct owner account, but using GUI to look up the specific account and adding it this way, while appearing to make no difference, has in fact solved the problem.
My assumption therefore is that updating the @owner_login_name when scripting the job is not the same as actually editing the job owner itself.

GRC AC 5.3: Skipping Approval step if there are no SoD conflists

Hello all,
Could you please explain how to skip some approval step in case of no SoD risks exist in CUP request?
Thanks,
Anton.

Hello Anton,
it's not so much skipping as doing it only when needed.
In your approval workflow, you create one of the approval steps with mandatory (or automatic) risk analysis.
On that stage, you then define a Detour on SoD conflicts which you point to your risk approval path.

GRC AC V10 - one approval step for manager and role owner

Hello Community,
I have one, perhaps easy, question. Where is it possible to maintain the solution of one approval step for manager and roleowner, if both are unique.
E.g.:
simple approval workflow: manager stage afterwards roleowner stage afterwards auto-provisioning
So if the request is routed to the manager and the manager is also the roleowner of the requested authorization role (same UserID). The user has to approve one and the same request twice.
Is it possible in V.10 to change the config that the user has only to approve the request once? And then to decide on which relevant stage settings are valid for this process.
Thanks,
Alexa

Hi Alexa,
We have had a similar questions raised in a project. In an ideal world, a single "Sign-off approval" would be a great functionality where the same user has to approve the same consecutive stages, but the reason for different stages would entail that the responsibilities entailed per stage differ, e.g. Line Manager would just check the over request, and the role owner etc may be reviewing the elegibility of a specifc role etc.
If it is likely to be the same person reviewing the 2 consecutive stages, maybe a single stage workflow would be sufficient to cover this scenario.
I think the logic you are trying to configure in the workflow is possible but will require alot of work with knowing how to create a clever custom workflow with BRF+ or the actual WF stuff in SAP itself.

Complete Form approval step programatically

Hi,
I have a Form approval step and is sent to set of agents (through org unit id assignment on step). I have a requirement to programatically (by calling FMs may be) either approve or reject this form and complete the form from agents inbox.
I tried using following FMs but in vain
SAP_WAPI_WORKITEM_COMPLETE - It does complete the WI but does not send the result (approve / reject back to workflow)
SAP_WAPI_SET_WORKITEM_COMPLETD - Not of use for this requirement
SAP_WAPI_DECISION_COMPLETE - Used to complete dialod step and not Form step.
Thanks in advance.
-- Amit

Can you clear us what kind of workitem it is I mean is it a decision workitem? or a workitem which needs a user interaction? e.t.c if it is a decision workitem and after completing the decision step programatically, if at all you want to continue to the next step of teh workflow then you have to sue the FM SAP_WAPI_DECISION_COMPLETE in the importing parameter DECISION_KEY you have to sepcify the value, 0001 for Approve 0002 for Reject 0003 for Review.
Ooops sorry to ask you again what type of step it is , you mentioned it in the question , but when it is a form step with APPROVE or REJECT then the FM SAP_WAPI_DECISION_COMPELTE works
