Direct Approval/Rejection buttons bid invitation

Hi,
The Direct Approval/Rejection buttons are disabbled while approving Bid in users Approval inbox.
Actually I have activated wf 14500026, and the wf is only activated manually for the creator.
I have added in tcode SWL1, tasks
TS79007914
TS79007919
TS79007920
and maintained the entry for Attributes EC_DECISION.
however, buttons still disabled.
Many thanks!!
Patricia

Hi,
This is not my solution.
Let me explain clearly
1. After SC created, Buyer will add Bidders.
2. Click on approval preview.
3. It will be showing one concerned approver for Ex: ( MGR1)
4. A mail will be sending to MGR1.
5. After that MGR1 should log in and clicked on " approve all items " button.
6. In the next screen it is asking final confirmation with YES/NO buttons.
Here my requirement is " I need to be displayed a text above these buttons(YES/NO) ".
So, Where do i need to do that, I mean where it is maintianing.
Please do the needful...!
I will be very much grateful to you..!

Chandu

Calling BAPI on click of Approve/Reject button

Hello All,
I have a GP Application in which the initiator fills out a form which goes for approval to the approver.....now once the Approver clicks on Approve/Reject button i want to call a BAPI to update certain fields in the R/3 ......since those 2 buttons are part of the standard SAP Visual Approval Callable Object ....please let me know if this is possible....
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Regards.,
Anil

Hello Anil!
Basically, you have two options:
1.) You can invoke the BAPI from your VC model when the button is clicked.
2.) You can invoke the BAPI from the GP.
First of all, you should consider wrapping the BAPI with a web service.
For option 1: Import your web service into your VC model and invoke it when the button is clicked.
For option 2: Create a callable object from you web service. In the VC you must now provide a result state, which indicates whether the approve or the reject button has been clicked. Depending on this result state you can now invoke the callable object in your GP.
I recomment option 1.
Best regards

Workflow user-decision mail with Approve & Reject button to Outlook.

Hi All,
Requirement: To send a mail with Approve & Reject buttons to outlook inbox.
Approach: I have used the user-decision step in the workflow and the approve, reject buttons are displayed . As far as solution in SAP inbox is concerned, it is solved.
However the requirement is to show the mail with the buttons in the outlook mail.
Resolution Required For: to show the mail with the buttons in the outlook mail. I am new to workflows sending mail to outlook inbox. Is there any way to do this using ABAP developments.
Thanks for your time.
Best Regards,
Goutham.

Hi,
If you are on ECC 5.0 or above, you can use the Extended Notif. for achieving this.
How are you getting the Outlook mail ?. If you already have Extn.Notif, then do the following :
1. In Transaction SWNCONFIG,for your Scenario and Category,
in the Subscription Basis Data -->Subscription Settings,
Set the parameter SHOW_ACTION_DECISION_AS as "LINK"
This will give you the options of your user decision as LInks in Outlook mail.
There is lot of material in this forum for Extended Notif. if you search.
Hope this helps.

One strange thing is happening , that in approval emails Approve/Reject button are not appearing but the same are present in the notification.
Moreover , some people are getting emails, others are not.
We have just started setting up the instance for the design prototype , so might be we are missing some setup/steps.
Please suggest , what steps i am missing. Thanks !!!

Verify that the email preference for the users is not "disabled"
Have the user login and go to the preferences link at the top.
OR
SELECT *

WHERE preference_name = 'MAILTYPE' AND user_name = '&user' Hope this helps

UWL Approve Reject button not visible

Hello Experts,
We have implemented Portal 7.0 SP 18 and configured UWL. All task items are appearing correctly.
But approve and reject button is not visible in UWL. The same is visible in ITS screen when we click on the task.
Kindly help.
Regards,
Nirmal Sivakumar G

Hi Soral,
All workflows from ECC is causing this problem. To be precise I have configured a webflow connector to pull the tasks from SAP Inbox. The approve/Reject button should appear in UWL ivew when we select the task item. But only forward and resubmit options are visible.
I guess the problem is with SP 18 itself. Coz there are similar threads with the same scenario in SP 18.

Approval/reject buttons disabled

Hello,
I am running SRM 5.0 Extended Classic.
I have a problem with approval of contracts. I have created a contract, released it and the workflow sends it to a user with approval rights. The contract can be seen in the approval inbox of this user where it says "approve contract xx" but the approve and reject buttons are grey and cannot be used.
The document is complete and in the workflow preview, I can see that it is waiting for approval. The user is correct
Any ideas why this happens?

POR (Purchase Order Response): Approve/Reject buttons not functioning

Hi folks,
In SRM 5.0 extended classic scenario, a POR is sent to EBP from SUS. The POR is outside tolerances so it triggers workflow -WS14500019. When a user goes into their Approval Inbox they have the option to Approve or Reject the POR using the Approve/Reject icons.
When a user clicks on either the Approve or Reject icon, a message appears at the bottom of the screen:
"Work Item is been Processed, Please Wait"
When this message disappears the work item is not processed and remains in the Approver's inbox unprocessed.
If anybody has any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Pat

Hello Nagarajan,
Thanks for the response. I have realised that the Approve/Reject buttons should not be used with PORs. I am still a little unsure as to how it is supposed to work though. Take the scenario below:
A buyer orders a quantity of 10
The vendor responds with a quantity of 7 which is outside the tolerances and goes to approval
If the buyer does not accept the response but wants to request 10 again what should they do?
1) If they copy the POR to their PO a changed PO is sent to the Vendor with a quantity of 7.
2) If they copy the PO to the POR but untick the header and item levels in the POR, the SUS PO remains in a status of Confirmed so the vendor will ship the goods.
Which options above is most suitable when the Buyer wants to request the 10 again? Option 2 and then to manually change the PO to a quantity of 10?
Regards
Pat

Approve/Reject buttons in UWL workitems

Hello,
We are on EP7.01 SP 7 implementing ESS/MSS. We configured UWL Connector under System Admin.-> UWL Config. to pull workitems from R/3 Inbox.
The workitems are coming fine for 'Travel and Expense' , but there are no Approve/Reject buttons there for the Manager to Approve or Reject the Travel Request.
Please help as to why this is happening.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi,
Did you apply 1133821? 95% of the time this will resolve the issue with the buttons. If you are still experiencing the issue after applying this note, please also check the following:
- Check that after applying Note 1133821 the destination names and the
UWL connector names exactly match, even considering case-sensitiveness.
If your portal system alias (=UWL connector name) is for example
XYZCLNT100, then the rfc destination name should be exactly
XYZCLNT100$WebFlowConnector. Please correct the rfc destination
accordingly.
- After you have checked/prepared the RFC destination for the future use
please delete that connector in the UWL config UI (Portal->System
Administration->System Configuration->Universal Worklist) with which you
would like to use this RFC destination.
After that
- restart the portal cluster
- recreate and reregister connector
Now retest. Are you still seeing the issue?

Workflow approval/reject buttons have dissapeared

Hello
I am using workflow task to approve or to reject the workflow assign task. I've just tried to reorder the workflow task fields by entering into "Workflow Task (Sharepoint 2013)" content type, and then entering into "Column order" there,
and then I just reordered some fields inside. This caused the dissapearence of approve/reject buttons from workflow task approval form.
Please help!
Thanks

I was having the same issue, though I don't know how I got there. (I had "help" on the site.)
I performed these steps to resolve the issue:
Deleted the Workflow Tasks list.
Created a new workflow "Delete Me" for the sole purpose of creating the Workflow Tasks list again. Publish the workflow.
Went back to the original workflow and selected the new Workflow Tasks list and republished. The buttons came back.
Then, I deleted the "Delete Me" workflow.
Hoping this solution is valuable to someone else,

Approval WF for Bid Invitations

Hi,
Is it possible to setup approvals for publishing Bid Invitations? We only see one WF (79000006 - One-Step Approval of Bid Invitation). We tried and it did not trigger a approval step. Appreciate any suggestions on how to setup approvals for Bid Invitations.
We are using SRM 4 with Classic Scenario.
Regards,
Ashwani

have you activated the workflow?
(indicated by green button.)
in the beginning try using simple start condition
e.g.
&_EVT_CREATION_DATE& >= 01.01.2008
also remove any currency if it is there in SWB_COND for sub WF

Approve Reject button is missing

Hi,
The central portal is integrated with ESS/MSS, SRM.
Issue : We are not getting the Approve and Reject button in the UWl view for the Manager users.
This issue is occuring after adding the 2 new nodes in the existing Central instance of the portal.
The com.sap.pct.srm.core configuration zip file shows error as Unable to read file in the Universal Configuration.
We are able to upload the xml but it shows the technical name sine the properties file is not loaded(properties file will be part of zip file).
Appreciate if anybody help asap to resolve the issue.
Regards,
Senthil

A reason for this behavior might be that the XML configuration file cannot be generated due to the missing RFC destination for the provider connector. As a result of that, the item type information such as available actions, dynamic parameters, visualization parameters, cannot be retrieved from the backend system.
Please Refer to SAP Note 1133821 and create the RFC destination and check if this will solve your issue.
Also look at my responses in this thread:
Workflow decision buttons not displayed on UWL task - why?
Thanks,
Shanti

Approve - reject buttons disappeared

Hi
We have a custom approval workflow. Today, one of the notifications (which is supposed to have approve and reject buttons) did appear without the buttons on the recipient's task list. However, on workflow admin, the approve result type is visible on the diagram.
What can be the cause of the buttons disappearing? There is no change in the workflow.
Thanks
