Hi Gowrishankar,
You can get step by step workflow for PO using standard workflow
Release of Purchase Order :WS20000075
And for two levels of approvals you have to configure in SPRO the path is
Purchase Order:
SPRO> Material Management->Purchasing->/Purchase order-->Release procedure ---> Procedure with classification ---> set up procedure with classification ---> double click on Release strategies and Workflow.
If you don't know about this configuration, you have to confirm with your MM consultant.
Thanks and Regards,

Email Alert for Purchase Order Release

Hi,
When a PO is subject to release I would like an external email to be sent to the relevant user as per assignments in config.
I have used standard workflow for PO release and this is working with no problems, alerts successfully going to the workflow inbox.
But does anyone know the steps to configure the standard workflow so that an external email is sent?
Thanks

hi
WORKFLOW FOR PO RELEASE PROCEDURE
Steps involved are :
1) SPRO > MM > Purchasing > Purchase Order > Release Procedure for Purchase Orders > Define Release Procedure for Purchase Orders > Release Codes > here assign Workflow indicator as "1" against each Release Code
2) SPRO > MM > Purchasing > Purchase Order > Release Procedure for Purchase Orders > Define Release Procedure for Purchase Orders > Workflow > Here against each release code assign OT as US and respective User ID's for Release Codes.
3) Go to OOCU > here under MM, go to MM-PUR,
4) Click on "activate event linking"
5) Go for "WS 20000075" and for BUS2012 RELEASESTEPCREATED, click on Detailed view button. Activate "Event linkage activated" and also activate "Enable usage of event queue"
and Save.
6) Click on "Assign agents" and proceed all above steps.
BUS2012 is the relevant business object and Releasestep created is the event for the same.
7) Check SWETYPV transaction for the WF you have activated for BUS2012 and confirm.
Test the same by creating a PO and check the SBWP for SAP Mail of respective Users

Standard n-step approval workflow for Purchase Order in sap 4.7?

Hello friend,
In SAP 4.7 there is any standard template for n-step approval workflow for Purchase Order.
thanks in advance.

Hi AM,
there is no std template for n-step approvals but for Single Release.
What you could do is create a custom one as per the number of approvals for PO.
Also note a PO Release Strategy can handle only 8 levels of approval.
Hope it helps.

Workflow for purchase requisition release strategy

Hi all,
I need an urgent help on Workflow for Purchase Requisition Release. The requirement is that when a purchase requisition with a given combination (Purchasing Group, Material Group and Account Assignment Category) is created and saved, it should trigger a workflow for approval of release or rejection to one specific business manager. If he dont responds in 2 days, it should be sent to other business manager. If any one of them releases the requisition, it should send a mail to the requestor that the requisition is released. And if it is rejected, then also a mail to be sent to the requester informing that his requisition is rejected...
Can anyone take some pain and guide me step by step procedure to implement this or to use any existing one.... I know its BUS2009 thats used in this but really dont know how to implement it properly.
Its urgent...

and parrally for each changes of Status mail should also go to User (Event Creator).
6. Finally mail sholud go to User as you are permitted to do next business transaction for this sales order
Please tel me the process as i am very new this topic and i am always going to stuck in Binding.
please help me out.
Thank You

Hi Neeraj,
First of all start with SWELS and SWEL T-Code to check if any standard event is getting triggered or not. If event is getting triggered, then use the same event to trigger the workflow; otherwise create a custom event of BO and use the same to trigger the workflow.
Hope you are aware of T-Code SWO1 and delegation of BO. The BO used for your requirement will be BUS2000115.
As you want the workflow to get triggered only for one status profile and one of its status, so use check function module. There set the condition for you status profile and status.
The FM which you will be using the most is CRM_ORDER_READ. To read the status, you can also use CRM_STATUS_READ_OW.
Now simply make the approval steps in the workflow using activity. In the activity, you can use the standard method USERSTATUSPOPUP to send the workitem for approval. In each step use the same activity with different agents as approvers.
Just go with these things and let me know if you get stuck up somewhere.
Regards,
Guddan

Workflow for Purchase order creation!!!

Hi,
I am new for SAP Workflow. I have a requirement to create workflow for PO creation. Once the approval of 2 levels, then PO should be released. Could you please help me to do this. Please provice me the step by step procedure or relevent materials links.
Thanks in Advance!!

Hi,
Get yourself familiar with terms like PO release strategy, etc. This has lots of material in SAP help. You might also take a look to SAP MM workflow scenarions document - it has documentation of PR release, but the idea is quite similar with POs.
You can also google "PO release strategy in SAP", and you should find some step by step instructions.
In general, lots of things can be done purely by configuring in SPRO and not that much WF development (if any) is required unless you have some specific requiremenets.

Karri
