Configuring Sequential approval mechanism

Hello,
i have setup a sequential approval mechanism. So when a user requests a role, it first has to be approved by his manager, then by the role owner (exactly as in the page 21 of the documentation http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/80f324e1-925f-2f10-a7a5-dea9be51beed?QuickLink=index&…).
The first approval works fine. SO the manager receives the notification mail and he can approve the request. But once he has done that, for some reason IdM triggers 2 mails, one for the ROle owner and one for the Manager (again), and any one of them can approve the request.
Is that normal behaviour ?
I have made a trace of it, and in the approvers list, both (manager and role owner) appear in the list.
For the second approval i only want one mail to be sent to the role owner, and not to the manager anymore. Is that feasible ?

Hello Jaisuryan,
here is the workflow as defined in here:
the manager is only manager and has no authority on the roles. The role owner is not a manager and not defined as manager
the manager approval is defined as follow:
and for the role owner:

  • Custom Approval mechanism for file submit

    Hi,
    we want to have an approval mechanism for our own files in a customer project. The standard manage items with approval mechanism does not suit our needs, but can we make use of this approval feature in other ways?
    Is there some hidden Workflow in the Portal API's or somewhere else.
    We know that we can integrate Oracle Workflow, but this is not what we want right now.
    Thanks.

    There are no supported APIs for implementing your own approval process. This is something we're planning for a future release.

  • Oracle EAM Work Request Sequential Approval process

    Can anyone confirm Oracle has standard functionality of sequentinal apprvoal process for eAM Work request.
    Our current Oracle eAM project has requirement of multiple approver for Work request. Multiple approver means sequential approval process. After first approver approves it should go to second approval and continues.
    I know Oracle eAM Work order has sequential approval process, but i want to know the same funcionality available for Oracle eAM work request as well. If Oracle has the functionality please provide the details. If Oracle doesnt have the functionality please let me know if this can be achived using Customization.
    We are using Oracle R12 version.
    Edited by: user13591749 on May 20, 2013 11:08 AM

    Hello,
    Work Requests do NOT use AME. Only 1-level approval is possible with Standard Functionality; NOT multi-level
    Work Request Approval needs :
    1. Oracle Workflow
    2. Department Approver functionality
    Here are the steps:-
    1. Go to EAM parameters window. Under Work Request region uncheck the Auto Approve flag.
    2. Define Primary Department Approver (Setup > Department Approver)
    hope it helps...
    =================================================================
    Also,
    • There is an AME transaction type and a workflow for EAM WO Completion.
    • Not dependent on EAM Parameter : Enable workflow for work orders.

  • ARQ: How to configure Role Approve/Reject Email Notifications???

    Hi,
    I would like to achieve below for my business scenario with below MSMP stage configurations:
    MSMS Stages Configurations:
    MANAGER --> Can act on both request and line items level
    Role Owner--> Can ONLY act on line items
    Requirement
    In best case, a Manager approves all the line items in an Access Request. Then an email notification mail for "NEW WORK ITEM" would be sent to Role Owner(s) at next stage. This is achieved.
    Now at Role Owner Stage, below 3 cases are possible:
    1. All Role Owners can approve the line items
    2. All Role Owners can reject the line items
    3. Some of the Role Owners approve and Some of them reject line items
    In all the above cases, a Role Owner ALWAYS click on "SUBMIT" button (as he is not authorized to reject a request as a whole) and this action is considered to be as "APPROVED" and eventually, "APPROVED" event is triggered.
    This looks good in case numbers: 1 & 3. Meaning, even a single role is approved, request can be considered as approved and the request details can be sent to business user.
    However, I am facing a problem when ALL the line items are rejected by ALL the Role Owners!
    This will surely close the request. However, the email notification that will be sent to user in this case will be of "APPROVED" though the request is rejected in a sense (because all the roles are rejected)!
    Can anybody please he understand this and design proper solution?
    Regards,
    Faisal

    Hi Faisal,
    We are on GRC SP13.
    Please do below settings to make role approval/rejection comments mandatory.
    2040 - Set this parameter value as YES
    In MSMP - Role Owner - Stage settings - Please maintain these settings
    I have come across the same scenario as yours. Below is my observation.
    When all role owners rejects all roles by REJECTING roles at LINEITEM level, request instead of getting closed at ROLE OWNER stage, it is going to next stage and getting closed there. I assume this is standard behaviour
    Let's see if we can get experts advise on this.

  • Timesheet Approval Configuration - Fixed Approval Routing

    Hello,
    Currently our timesheet configuration is through chain approvals. Team member submits to their manager, manager does approval and sends to me (timesheet manager). I have Fixed Approval Routing unchecked, as I would like for the Manager to be able to select
    me as manager to approve. However, after unchecking Fixed Approval Routing, it doesn't seem to pop up for managers to select me as the timesheet manager. They just get the dialogue box to click OK when approving. Is there a configuration I'm missing? I tried
    this for every manager by delegating and it seems it just goes directly to their timesheet manager without having a message to send to. Previously, it would work fine, but after a few configuration tweaks it stopped popping up to select timesheet manager. 
    Johnny Eltawn, Project Server Admin

    For Project Server 2013, Try following:
    Add yourself in the "Timesheet Managers" list, which can be set under "Server Settings" -> "Timesheet
    Managers"
    Update Team member and make yourself as "Timesheet
    Manager"
    thru "Manage User" or thru "Resource Centre."
    Update following setting on "Server
    Settings" page, in the "Time and Task Management"
    section, click "Timesheet Settings and Defaults"
    Select the "Fixed Approval Routing" check box.
    Under "Task Status Manager Approval", choose "Enabled" if you want managers to be able to approve individual
    timesheet lines. You can also choose to "require line approval before timesheet approval."
    Hope this will help you.

  • Configure the Retry Mechanism of PI

    Hi All,
    As per my knowledge, if the receiver system is down in the landscape then PI retries for 3 tiimes in a gap of 5 min each and then gives a SystemError message.
    I want to know that can I configure this setting?
    I have an IDoc to HTTP scenario and I want to configure the number of times the retry should happen before error message.
    Also is it possible that whenever the receiver system comes up, the messages be resent to it automatically?
    regards,
    Piyush Mathur

    Hi Piyush,
    You can change the default retry interval value from 3 to any.
    Goto Communication Channel monitoring> Select the Communication channel>Below you will find Setting Tab>Click on Overwrite button of MaximumNumber> Then change the default value.
    Check the link suggested by Shabarish....
    >>>Also is it possible that whenever the receiver system comes up, the messages be resent to it automatically?
    Yes, in between the retry interval if the receiver system in Up then the files will be automatically processed to the receiver system.

  • Configure approval process in Appraisals - Performance Management

    Hi Guys
    I am trying to configure the approval process. After the final appraisal by the manager, the appraisal forms hould go to the manager of the manager (next level manager) for approval.
    My queries:
    1. Is the next level manager defined as further participant or part appraiser?
    2. Where do we assign the next level manager? In PHAP_PREPARE? I don't see anyplace where I can do that.
    I have done the following configuration:
    1. At category level, selected Role 'Higher Manager'
    2. At category level, in Status flow--> Person Authorized, selected Higher-Level Manager.
    3. In the template, selected Higher Manager in Roles.
    What am I missing here?

  • N Step BADI Approval Workflow Error in SRM 7.0

    Hi,
    I have implemented SC  Workflow Approval based on line item(sequential approval). I implemented process controlled workflow for this using N step Badi. Necessasy configuration done for each level at schema. All steps are executed per line item and agents determined using N step Badi /SAPSRM/BD_WF_RESP_RESOLVER.
    Even in SC after the document is ordered, in approval overview tab i see the all level sequence with  approvers name for that  line item.
    But when approved by first approver, it doesnot move to the next level for approval and the SC is approved bypassing all approvers in the following levels.
    For example, if there four levels of approvals for one line item. as soon as the first approver approves the SC is approved and in SC Approval Overiew tab that contained four level of approval in it is now reset to one level with SC marked as appproved.
    Have anybody come across this error.
    Not able to figure out why it is happening so... need some expert advice.
    Thanks in Advance.

    Hi Masa .. thanks for your reply.
    Was on vacation so could not reply.
    I have below settings in SRM for SC
    Process Level definition should be like this.
    Level Eva.ID ; Resolver Task ID Decision Type
    100 L100 R100 40007953 Item-Based decision for Partial Doc.
    200 L200 R100 40007953 Item-Based decision for Partial Doc.
    300 L300 R100 40007953 Item-Based decision for Partial Doc.
    I have implemented /SAPSRM/BD_WF_RESP_RESOLVER for R100.
    for grouping we are using line item number ... so each line item is a group.
    Below are issues that i am facing now.
    For say 2 line item in a SC... with 3 level of approvals for each line item. I am not able to approve one line item in a sequence. For example: If for first line item, when I approve level one .. then the workitem doesnot move to 2nd approver's inbox for that line item. Now if second items (asssuming there are only 2 line items in SC) first approver has approved then i see all second level of approvers available for all line item.
    In short system waits for all one level approvers to approver for all line item and when all the line items are approved at one level then the workitems are available for seconds level of approval.
    Is this the standard behaviour?
    As per our requirement we wanted one line item shoudl follow the approveral sequence without being dependent on other items approval.

  • Approval of Payment Document

    Dear Friends,
    My client wants Payment documents to be approved before they are posted.
    However, as far as my knowledge, without implementing workflow there is no approval process available (similar to parking of invoice).
    I am also aware of Payment request functionality (F-59). However in this process, while making payments through F-53 / F-58, there is no approval mechanism (only tolerance limits can be configured).
    He needs a process similar to parking functionality available for invoice verification (or) direct FI invoice parking.
    Invoice Verification:
    1. Invoice verification parking (MIR7)
    2. Invoice verification posting (MIRO)
    Direct FI invoice:
    1. Invoice parking (FV60 - Park or Edit Invoice)
    2. Invoice posting (FBV0 - Post/Delete)
    Kindly let me if any functionality is available except workflow.
    Thank you
    Hari

    Hi Hari,
    For payment functionality there is no parking-posting facility available except workflow in std sap.

  • Additional approval on attribute change

    My system: IDM 8.0.0.5
    Whenever an administrator changes one of my "special" resource attributes I need to have an additional, sequential approval step where two teams approve in sequence.
    *** First team_1 has to approve. If the request is approved, request has to go to team_2.
    *** If one rejects, the request is rejected.
    *** If all approve , go ahead.
    The solution should not interfere with the standard approval provess. It should work in addition.
    I try to find a solution where I adjust the approvals structure according to my needs.

    *?* Can I configure an sequential approval with the existing approvals structure? (if Yes, pls. give an example or describe in detail)No, unfortunately not.
    *?* Where would you recommend to hook into the existing workflow? I have implemented this by adding new Approve actions to the Create User and Update User workflow. In our case, we wanted the IDM manager to approve the process before the actual approvers.

  • Configure the SPM in the CUP

    Hello,
    Im trying to configure the SPM in the CUP. I have done the steps that the manual "How To...Configure Integration of CUP with SPM.pdf" said.
    But how can I do to add another stage so there is an approver before attching the user ID to the FF ID.
    Best Regards.
    Pablo Mortera.

    If you are using a Custom Approver determinator in the stage to find the approvers then check to make sure that the approvers are entered into it correctly. Also check to ensure that the data for the attributes chosen is correct especially if you are using HR / organisation routes as the approver.
    If you are trying to use the standard delivered approval method using the "Superuser Owner" approval mechanism, check your patch level as I think this only works in 5.3 SP7 or 8.
