3. Approval Work item will go to Buyers of purchasing group
4. Buyer trying to approving The PO Response from his approval inbox

what all buttons do you see when you open the workitem in the approval inbox.
as far as i know , there will only button 'transfer response to purchase order'..
what happens if you click the above button.

  • Item does not move from Workflow Inbox to Work Item Executed by me

    Hi experts,
    We have implemented workflow inbox for invoice payment. After archive document in OAWD, we will do posting through Workflow inbox. After posting, the item should go to 'work item executed by me' folder. But the problem is the work item is still in the workflow inbox. What should we do? Pls help. This is urgent. Correct answer will be rewarded, TQVM in advanced.
    Rgds,

    Hi Arianie,
    First check the status of your WORK ITEM ID. You can check it in SBWP or in SWI6 transaction.
    If your work Item ID still remains in the SAP Inbox & does not move into outbox i.e. "work Item Executed by me" then it may happened that your workflow is not triggered after users/responsible agents action completion. You can check the graphical status in SWI6 transaction itself.
    Also check whether your Work Item ID's status is not "ERROR" . If it is "ERROR" then you need to resume the work item ID (Whose status is Error) to start/recall the workflow.
    Thanks

  • Work Item to be disappeared from user1 inbox when escalated to user2

    Hi,
       I created a customising workflow for Credit Memo Request with 2 escalations  for approval. I have used Fork operation to get this functionality with Requested start option in 2nd and 3rd branch to escalate after 3 and 6 days respectively if not the document is approved by the agent in branch 1.
    Every thing works fine, but the client wants the work item to be removed from USER1's inbox when escalates to USER2 and from USER1 & USER2's inbox when escalated to USER3.
    Could you guide how can we do it in my case.
    Thanks in advance.

    HI Jaya,
    you can make use of 'Processing Obsolete' here as it would remove workitems from the approvers inbox whose deadline is missed.
    First of all , in the decision step make 'processing obsolete' active under 'outcome tab' of the task.
    Use latest end with time as 3 days and  action as modeled.Now in modeled deadline, make use of process control step and select 'set workitem as obsolete'  and put step number of your dialogue step in 'workflow step'.
    This will make the workitem diasppear from the approver inbox once the deadline is missed after 3 days.
    Now to repeat the process fro 2nd and 3rd approver , put all of this in a loop, and before loop ends, find the next approver id in the outcome 'Processing obsolete' of the desicion step.and pass this id to the expression used for approver.
    The loop condition can be a flag that is set to X when a deadline is reached. To do so, add a container operation in modeled deadline before process control step that will put the flag X.
    So loop will continue to second pass if deadline is missed and hence so on till 3rd approver.Formulate condition for highest level of approval too.
    Hope this helps.

  • Work Items are not pulled from SRM into SAP Fiori

    Hi Friends,
    We are using Application controlled workflow in SAP SRM. As Fiori won't support application controlled workflow, I have followed the guide to configure the task as custom workflow in scenario definition. But its not pulling the work item from SRM in Fiori tile. My tile shows 0.
    When I  click on the same to go in, I am getting the below error.
    A problem occurred while reading the data
    Check the URL parameters and the scenario definition. To check the scenario definition, go to customizing for SAP NetWeaver Gateway and choose SAP NetWeaver -> Gateway Service Enablement -> Content -> Task Gateway Service -> Scenario Definition.

    Hi Sasi,
    It would not be possible to use application controlled workflow with SAP Fiori approve shopping cart app. Please refer note 1962663 for more details on SAP Fiori approve shopping cart app.

  • Items are not removed from Workflow Inbox

    Hi all,
    Im having problem with our workflow. Below are the details
    SCENARIO:
    User A creates a PR. The PR is then forwarded to user B for approval. Once the PR is approved by user B, it is forwarded back to user A for notification purposes. User A then executes the PR and it is automatically forwarded to user C for processing.
    THE PROBLEM:
    When user B approves the PR, his/her inbox should be cleared once the PR is forwarded to user A. The problem  is that, out of the 45 line items present in the PR, only 38 lines were cleared from the inbox. The remaining 7 items were retained. However, when we try to view the PR from user A, there are 45 line items and they are complete.
    QUESTION:
    What causes the 7 line items to be retained in user A's inbox? How do we clear them?
    Any output will be highly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    The user B approved the PR accessing the transaction SBWP or via PR transaction directly?
    If via PR transaction directly, then your workflow needs a Wait Event step.

  • Work item text not visible in SAP inbox

    Hi All,
    I have used standard task in custom workflow.
    On triggering task, workitem text maintained for workitem is not triggered under title colum in SAP inbox.Instead, workitem name is  visible in Inbox.
    Can you please guide how workitem text would be triggered?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Workitem text is associated with definition of task.
    There is no need to trigger it and it will be populated in the workitem created as part of the task.
    .Instead, workitem name is visible in Inbox.
    Inbox???
    You mean UWL.

  • Work flow mails not processing from SAP Outbox to Approvers

    Hello,
    We are working on the implementation of Work flow for Purchase orders.
    Work flow customization is completed and even work flow is triggering when ever I create Purchase Order.
    Even Agent assignment also completed for work flow tasks via T code PTFC_CHG.
    Problem here is Work flow mails are not processing out of SAP Outbox to approvers even also after executing the program RSWUWFML2.
    If I check in SOST,I will not see any of the entries related to work flow mails.
    For eg:If I creates a Purchase order it will trigger Release Strategy and I can see the message to Approvers,like "Please Approver PO..."
    Only above I can see in my SAP Outbox.
    So how can I Process these messages to approvers SAP Inbox.
    Any Pre Setting I have to do?
    With regards,
    SPK

    Hi SP,
    I may be wrong, but on reading ur thread, I feel u r mis interpreting SAP Outbox with Outlook.
    Is it so, because u have mentioned about RSWUWFML2 and SOST, which comes into picture only if u r using an external mail like Outlook.
    If its Outlook, then there is no doubt that ur work item would get deleted from SAP Inbox and would be present only in Outlook.
    If its SAP Outbox, then u r not supposed to get ur work item in ur Outbox unless it is processed or executed thru ur SAP Inbox.
    Hope it helps.

  • Waiting for approval item does not execute attached procedure !

    Hi.
    Using 3.0.8 on Solaris.
    Create one custom item type and associate one on plsql procedure to be run in place when item is listed within its folder.
    Go to folder, add item, look for the plsql result : Good it's working !
    After that create an item as a create with approval ACL and come back as folder owner, look at the plsql result : NOTHING !!!
    My PLSQL procedure is displaying some attributs in order for the folder owner to approve or not the waiting item. So if wainting for approval items does not execute associated plsql function as they are "waiting" (active=0) then I've got some problems!
    Any suggestions ?

    Hi all,
    Thanks very much for your feedback.
    In reply to Brian's suggestions
    1. I checked to see if WS14500013 was defined as general task; it was not and this has has now been rectified. Went through the other workflows also.
    Double checked the contents of the tables:
    APPROVAL_TABLE, ITEM_APPROVAL_TABLE, ITEM_APPROVAL_OBJECT.
    All appeared OK.
    Created a simple one line SC. Invoked approval preview and the message: 'Approval step without ad-hoc capability. No preview possible' was displayed. This is odd since WS14500015 and sub-workflows do not use AD-HOC approval. Or am I not understanding this correctly.
    Followed Smitas suggestions but to no effect.
    Here are the contents of the said tables which I lifted from the workflow tables:
    Again, many thanks for your responses...

  • Incomplete Approval Work Item Removed from Agent Inbox

    Dear All WF Experts,
    I noticed this strange scenario:
    Let say Agent A and Agent B are sent a work item.
    If Agent A has executed the work item in SBWP previously, the work item is removed from Agent B's inbox (And the status is changed to 'STARTED'). However, the work item is not processed yet.
    Is there anyway to make the work item stays in the inbox until either agent approved the work item?
    Thanks in all advances.
    Regards,
    YL

    Thanks Arghadip for your response. Sorry for my blunt question.
    Actually, the Agent A and Agent B are the approvers for PR approval by position (Agent A and Agent B are the users in the mentioned position).
    Thus, when a PR is raised, both Agent A and Agent B received the same PR work item.
    If Agent A execute the work item but does not release the PR, the work item still remains in Agent A's inbox as there is no terminating event. So, based on the logic, in Agent B's inbox, the work item should still be there because the work item is not fully processed yet (no terminating event takes place).
    But, now, from what I saw, as long as any of the responsible agents executed (started) the work item, even if they do not release it, the work item is removed from all other agents' inbox and only remain in the inbox of the agent who first executed the work item.
    I interpreted this as there is at least one agent already view the work item and know the existence of the PR to be approved, thus the other agents do not need to bother about the PR anymore. But, is my interpretation correct? And is there anyway to make the work item stay in the inbox of all approvers until there is one terminating event?
    Thank you so much.

    it wont be shown in outbox of SBWP
    you need to check via SWIA or rptarqdbview or SWI5 for the user
    these are java based tasks so will be done in UWL. you can see only the tasks but after approval they are disappeared.
    The outbox shows the last 30 days by default. This default cannot be
    changed. This 30 days selection period is always set when you enter
    the outbox. However, the user can change the selection period by
    clicking the button 'Change selection period' on top of the grid
    control but this as you know will be reset once you log out.
    This is how the mapping from the
    backend workplace folders to the UWL tabs should work:
    UWL tab                        Backend folder
    Notifications                  Deadline Messages
    Tasks-> Completed Tasks        Outbox -> Workitems executed by me
    Tracking -> My Requests        Outbox -> Started Workflows
    Tracking -> Forwarded          Outbox -> Forwarded workitems

  • 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.

    Shaik Rafi

    Hi All,
    In such cases, please try to check as below :
    1) Create Leave request work item from Employee and check the same under the UWL Tracking tab of employee.
    2) Log-in to swi5 transaction of the respective back end system and give "US" -> manager's UserID -> Choose Tasks to be completed from the drop down -> Remove any date if mentioned -> Execute.
    3) Here if you can see the Leave request created, but not on the portal, it reflects some portal issue like sync.
    4) If no leave request work item is seen here, then there is a problem in the employee manager mapping or the workflow setup.
    5) In such cases, you can try to check the Swi1 and check the log of that workflow to understand the current status of the Leave request.
    Revert if further help is needed with more info.
    Reward points if found useful.
