PO approval tab

Hello,
After making all steps through customizing on relesase procedure on PO's, there's still no tab on me21n for the approval step.
Is there any other step for this tab to be opened? Can somebody please explain the process??
thanks in advance
Irem

Hi,
The release tab gets triggered in the PO based on the characterisitic values maintained in the release strategy and that which is being used in the PO.
For eg. The characteristic values maintained are Document type,   NB
                                                                      Purchase Group   PX
                                                                      Purchase Organization, PO1
When the PO is created with document type NB, Purchase Group PX and Pur Org PO1, the release strategy gets automatically set in the PO when saved

Adding custom fields to notifications-approval tab alv grid

Transaction IW21 - Create PM Notifications.
on the Approval Tab - there is an ALV grid that contains lots of fields. I know that i can click on the upper right hand corner and modifiy the layout by hidding fields. I want to add some custom fields to this grid.
I added my fields to view QMSM and now when I look at the database table using SE16 - i can see my new fields.
But how do I add them to this ALV grid?
Please and Thank you,
Julia Ramos
Orange County Public Schools.

I have read SAP OSS NOTE: 586523 Customer-defined fields in list editing. This note helped me add these same fields to many of the standard reporting transactions. IQS8, IW28, IW29, IW38, IW39
I added my fields to
QMEL - Quality Notification
RIHQMEL_LIST - Display structure reporting for QMEL
RQMQMEL - Quality notification - header data
RQMQMSM - Quality notification - measures (reporting)
Then i ran SAP program BALVBUFDEL. This program refreshs the alv buffer. This was very cool in that it allows us to access and report on all of my custom fields thru the standard reporting transactions!
I thought this same logic might work for transaction IW21. I found the structure used by the approval tab alv program, QMSM, and created an append structure, ZAQMSM with my fields - ran the balvbufdel program to refresh the alv buffers - but i still can not see my fields in the approval tab. I believe that there must be a way to do this - i will keep trying different things and read thru move OSS notes. If you have any sugestions or ideas - they would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Approval tab IDM 6.0

Hi All,
In the approval tab in IDM 6.0 there is a dropdown for viewing the list of administrators to see their approval queues. Where can we find the reference to this (which form or workflow)???
I am looking at 'Approval Form' and 'Approval Library' but cant seem to find it. Am i looking at the right ones?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,

UserForm - Work Item Confirmation has the reference to the list of approvers. - Variable is <ref>forwardingUsers</ref>
And also check out UserForm - Work Item List - Varaible is <ref>users</ref>

Releasing production order automatically on clicking approve tab

Hi ,
I am working on workflows for production order and my scenario is when new production order will create then workflow will send mail to approver containing link to execute workitem. when approver clicks on that link then it will login into SAP and show that very workitem with approve and reject tabs. till now everything is working fine but my user wants when approver clicks on approve tab then that production order will automatically be released as he dont want to go into co02 for manual release.
Please suggest me how can this be possible as its urgent.
points will be rewarded.
Thanks,
Rahul

First you check the standard BOR object type to see if it has a method for releasing the production order, and if one is found you use it in a step in your workflow.
If the standard BOR object type does not have a method for releasing the production order, you have to extend it in a subtype with a custom method for releasing the production order. If you have an existing subtype you can just add a new method, otherwise you must first create a new object type as a subtype of the SAP standard object type, and then add your custom method for releasing the production order. You can delegate the standard object type to your subtype so you can call the new method directly from the standard object type, or add a step which will create an object of your subtype before the step that uses your custom method. Don't forget to set the status of the object type and method to implemented (or released).

CAN't find Parameters, Events and Approval tabs in the Page Properties opti

Hi Gurus,
I am trying to test the approval process. I have created a page group and also created a page under that. I don't find the 3 tabs Parameters, Events and Approval in the Edit Page/Page Properties option. Please reply me what I have to do to activate those tabs.
Thanks
Raj

In your Page Group properties ensure that parameters and events are enabled. Once they are enabled at the page group level, the tabs should appear in your page properties.

Record time not showing in approval tab for user

Hello Gurus,
It a very strange kind of issue. As you can see in the screenshot , the first approval has approved the PO and then ideally it should go to the second approver and it happening but while checking in the portal we can't see the record time in the portal , Also user has to approve the PO several times which is making the user unhappy . So how to remove this bug . While more to add we are working on ACW with custom BADI's (copied of standard with addition condition). Can anyone tell me why its happening.
Thanks

Hello Gurus,

Messages displayed in the Approval and message tab in SRM approval is same

Hi,
We are having an issue with the message displayed in the approval step.When we click on the approval option in SRM, we get two tabs displayed Approval and Messages. The content displayed in both the tab is same for one user. Generally the content displayed in approval tab is "Here you can approve/reject shopping carts, confirmations of goods receipts, and so on.Select 'Edit' to display details" and the details in Messages tab is "Here you can see e-mails on the purchase transaction." But for this particular user the content displayed is "Here you can see e-mails on the purchase transaction." in both the approval and message tab.
We checked the roles and profiles and its same as the other users. Can some one please suggest what would be the reason for this functionality with this user.
Regards
GGL

OK, so you only have this problem in PROD, all other systems (DEV, QA) are fine... I assume you checked your BAdI transports in PROD as well... If all OK, that leads me to think there's nothing wrong with your custom code or transports.
SRM 5.0 is notorious for these kinds of issues where workflow templates work in one environment, but are erroneous in another (most times this is due to inactive status). That is why I asked you to check the workflow for consistency in SWUD.
From your answer, I did not understand whether you'd checked all the subworkflows separately in SWUD (not as part of the main workflow check). If you didn't do that, find all the subworkflows (and the subworkflows of the subworkflows where applicable) in SWDD by stepping through the main workflow, and then run the SWUD check on each of them separately.
Also, please check the Review workflow WS10000265. This particular workflow may not show in SWDD as a subworkflow, but actually is part of the process. If it's broken, you may encounter issues like you're describing.
Cheers,
Serguei

MySAP SRM/EBP Shopping Cart(move workitem from 'Approval' to 'Message' tab)

when an employee creates an incomplete shopping cart in EBP (web based) an appropriate workflow is started in R/3 backend, creates a workitem and shows under 'Approval' tab of the web application. The requirement is it should show the work item under 'Messages' tab. Any help is highly appreciable.

Hi Masa,
Earlier all the notification emails and workitems of incomplete shopping cart were under message tab & remaining all other workitems were under approval tab.
Now only notification emails are shown under message tab and all workitems under approval tab. Client wants the former functionality back.
Cheers!!

Error while creation of waste approval in waste management in EH&S

hi all,
while creating waste approval i got some error message when i am using the process status as released. The error message is
'Release status cannot be assigned to the waste approval 0000000010'
or tell me how to create a waste approval.
thanks
regards
sathish. R

Hi sathish,
waste approval can be created after business partner creation and assignment.
in transaction waa02, create generator, generation and disposal channel. then you select for which generation and disposal channel you want to create waste approval.
go to waste approval tab and give inputs like set status 01(in progress), authwasteappr number(plant_disposer_transporter), waste approval tyoe(0001), disposal doc type based on country eg for india (WD_IN), then validity period. press enter waste approval numer will be assigned internally.
then select the created waste approval and assign waste code, partners and disposal channel details.
This is the procedure to create waste approval. hope this will help you. if still error comes send your steps and screenshot to [email protected]

Approval Work Item still appears in inbox after approval

Hello, We have an issue in SRM 7.0 UWL when an approval work item at a specific level finds more than 1 approver.
1) When there is more than 1 agent at a specifc approval level, after the item is approved the work item still stays in the Inbox of the approver. However, the approval tab on the document in SRM shows that approval is now at next level. The workflow log does not show any updates based on the approval that was done.
2) However, if the work item in UWL is clicked on twice, and approval is done from the webdynpro launced the second time, then it behaves correctly. Workflow logs get updated, next approval is routed correctly, and work item is removed from inbox.
Note: This only happens when an approval level has more than 1 agent. If there is only 1 agent, the behavior is correct.
Appreciate any help!
Zack

Hi,
Is this a standard solution or modified solution?
You could have faced a bug in the standard work item completion code. I have seen this a few times (not with SRM though). Coul you check that what is the actual status of the work item after you have tried to approve the work item for the first time. You can check the status in transaction SWI1 (or table SWWWWIHEAD). Is the status COMMITTED? And after you try approve it second time, does it get status COMPLETED? IF this is the case (the status is COMMITTED after first approval), there is a bug in the code somewhere. You might find a solution for this from OSS. IF you have some kind of customized solution, you need to talk with a WF consultant - basically you need to call the work item completion function two times in a row.

Purchase order in 'awaiting approval' status but no approval required

Hi
I am using SRM 4.0 SP 13. There is a purchase order which shows that no approval is required in the approval tab, but the overall status is 'awaiting approval'. Please can you advise if this is a Support pack issue? I have checked the workflow WS14000075 which is active.
Regards
Rajeev

Hi
You would need to check if the workflow has been able to release the PO properly. Only after successful release completion by workflow, PO status gets changed to ordered from awaiting approval. Check the workflow log to see if there are any errors. Use txn-SWI1 or SWI6 to go into workflow log. Also reactive your workflow WS14000075 using txn swdd and try creating new PO.

Sanjeev
