Modifying Approval Maintenance Report

Hello,
We have a requirement to add an extra field in the Approval Maintenance Report. Can you please guide us how to proceed with the same. From where we can get the code of this standard report. Is it possible to chnage the original code of the report.
Any suggestion will be of great help.
Regards
Deb

Hi Kalyan,
Though you have added a new column to the Field Catalog, it MIGHT not get displayed on the output. This is because, it would be in the hidden mode. Try this. Click on the Layout, add this new field and save the layout. You should be able to see your new column now.
But dont forget to do the same in Quality and Production systems.
Hope this clarifies your problem
Enjoy SAP.

Display Approval maintenance report

Hi All,
We have created a standard KM approval process with a one step approver. That is working fine.
Now we want to generate a report displaying the number of documentswhich are in "yet to be released"
and "rejected" cases. I can see that there is an option in Content Mamagement->Reports->Approval Maintenance
where i can run a report and check number of documents in rejected cases. However we need to present the
same to end user as he wont be having CM role. Is their any Iview which displays the same and we can assign
the iview to user. Or is there any other alternative?

Hi Jamie,
I'm not sure if you can use a decode the the HTML Expression section. I don't think it will recognize it since it is a SQL expression. What I do is to put the code in my report SQL. For example, if your column was named Image, your report SQL would look something like this:
Select
col1, col2,'<IMG SRC="#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#' || DECODE(FAQ_SYSTEM,'TRAMPS','TRAMPS SMALL.jpg','PROACTIS','Proactis Small.jpg',
'YARDI','Yardi Small.jpg') ||'" />' Image, col4, col5...
from table
where conditions.
If it doesn't work, check the source code for the page and look at the html code for the IMG tag. You could be missing a quote or something and it is much easier to find it if you look at the source.
One other thing, you might want to try having no spaces in the image filenames. Better to use underscores '_' I think.
Hope this helps you,
Aaron

Approval Status Report, SBO v2007, current data or cumulative?

I run the Approval Status Report while logged in as a superuser, selecting
Document Status: 'Pending',
no limits set in the To/From middle section,
all document types ticked,
and I get a list of document numbers.
I immediately re-run the Approval Status Report while logged in as a superuser, selecting
Document Status: 'Generated',
no limits set in the To/From middle section,
all document types ticked,
and I get a list of document numbers that includes some of the 'Pending' status ones from the first run.
How can the document be in both 'Pending' and 'Generated' status at the same time? Is this report supposed to show me the current status of documents, or all accumulated approval action taken on documents?

Hi Cindy,
Document number in approval is not unique. Same number may refer to more than one document. All draft documents will only be assigned a unique marketing document number until approved and created.
That is probably you can see the same number in the 2 reports
Thanks,
Gordon

Need to restrict users from adding or modifying folders or reports

Requirement: Need to restrict users from adding or modifying folders or reports through Info view and to reflect the modifications only thriough LCM.
Issue: Customer wants to restrict users from adding or modifying existing reports from Infoview and need to force users to do make the changes through Life cycle manager tool.
As per my understanding LCM can only be used to to promote folders and objects from one environment to another and to schedule the promotion of these jobs on a daily basis.My query is:
Can we add or modify existing reports or folders using the LCM tool?
Could you please help me out in this issue and provide me your suggestions.
Thanks in advance.
Prashanthi Rayaprolu.

You can not restrict that using LCM. Need to modify the rights at the folder level.
Explicitly remove the following rights for the user group,
Add objects to the folder
Edit objects
Delete objects
Copy objects to another folder (check this if required)
Once the above four are denied then users wont be able to Edit/Add/Delete reports in that folder.

Using HXC_TIMESTORE_DEPOSIT_API to modify approved timecards

Is it permissable to use the HXC_TIMESTORE_DEPOSIT_API to modify approved timecards that have already been transferred to Payroll i.e. HXC TIMECARD >> OTL BEE BATCH (HXT) >> PAYROLL BEE BATCH >> ELEMENT ENTRIES
I have looked at the white paper on the API usage and found this entry, but it wasn't exactly clear as to if the API works on the timecard regardless of its status. It seemed to indicate that a corrected timecard after its been pushed to element entries must be performed by the associate and handled via Retro Payroll process and thus no API availability to make that correction at that point.
Can anyone confirm or indicate otherwise ?

This has been solved. The solution was to create a day building block for each day in the time period REGARDLESS of whether or not there is any time to be billed for the day. So an example would be that if the employee only had time for Monday-Friday you would still need to create day building blocks for the Saturday and Sunday that are included in the period. A simple oversight but one that will prevent the API loaded timecards from being picked up by the workflow and approving

Read, Modify and Apply Report XML using Java Script

Hi Guys,
Is there any way that we can Pragmatically Read, Modify and Apply Report XML using Java Script or some other way.
Thanks

Requirement ::
Users should be able to add Column to the Report Dynamically at Runtime.
(There are around 1000+ Users, Answers Approach is not acceptable)
So we are planning to provide a Multi Select / Shuttle Box Option for Users to add Columns dynamically. (Only for Table View)
What we planned to DO ::
Create a Presentation Variable Prompt, Which reads the Metadata Table (Presentation Table.Column Name, populated using the Metadata Dictionary)
And Create a report with One Column and the Column Fx like @{var_dynamic_columns}{'"Time"."Year","Time"."Month"'}
With this, OBIEE is rewriting the Logical SQL Currently as "Select "Time"."Year","Time"."Month" from "A - Sample Sales" "
But getting an error
The number of columns returned in retrieving column metadata was invalid (expected: 1; received: 2)
So we want to see, if we can rewrite the Advanced XML of the Report to have dynamic columns based on the Values from the Presentation Variable.
Please help me if this is a viable solution or any other better solution.

Plant Maintenance Reports & Report Writer/Painter

Has anyone ever used Report Painter or Report Writer to produce SAP Plant Maintenance Reports? If so, what was your experience in using this tool and how difficult is it to produce reports?
The report that needs to be generated is for overdue PM orders (PM09) ....these are scheduled preventive maintenance orders.
We need to be able to determine if they are completed and if they are on time. This report needs to have the flexibility to choose the following
Functional Locations
Equipment
Plant sections
Main Work Center
Basic finish date / Planned Date / Overdue date (to be determined)
Maintenance Plan
Maintenance Activity Type
Group
We need to be able to run a chart from this data to show how many PM's are behind, how many were completed on time compared to the requirements, and any other chart that would be available (i.e. pie, line, bar etc.).
Thanks

Approval Decision Report Error

Hello to all,
I have a problem regarding the approval decision report functionality in SBO.
I have set-up an approval template with 4 originators (say, persons A, B, C and D) and one approving manager. The approval check is applied to A/P Invoices and A/P Credit Memos and the approval terms is set to launch as 'Always'.
Say person A and B create A/P Invoices. When I run the Approval Decision Report, check all the three decision types:
[/] No Decision Yet
[/] Document Production Approved
[/] Document Production Not Approved
And indicate person A as Originator From and To, the report shows the documents created by Person A.
However, when I do the same for Person B, the report does not show the documents created by Person B.
I receive the error message:
No matching records found 'Drafts' (ODRF) (ODBC -2028) [Message 131-183]
However, I check for documents unapproved created by Person B through a query and I see that they exist in ODRF.
SELECT DocEntry, DocStatus, WddStatus from ODRF
where UserSign =
Select USERID from OUSR
WHERE USER_CODE = 'Person A'
Am I missing something here?

Hi Gordon,
Thanks for replying.
I am sorry (query should be = 'Person B').
When I execute the following query, I confirm that person B has existing documents to be approved.
SELECT DocEntry, DocStatus, WddStatus from ODRF
where UserSign =
Select USERID from OUSR
WHERE USER_CODE = 'Person B'
But when I run Approval Decision Report and put Person B in the originator, the error occurs.
In summary, the Approval Decision Report can see Person A's documents but not Person B's documents.

Approval Decision Report

Hi All,
On version 9 PL 07, we have created an approval stage with two users (authorizers) but only 1 no. of approval required.
As soon as a document is sent for approval, in the approval decision report, the users are getting two lines items (I think 1 for each authorizer). But even after the document is approved by one of the authorizer, the document still shows as pending for other user.
Has any one faced this issue and know a solution for this one or is this a limitation?
Let me know!!
Thanks,
Joseph
