Query base multiple levels PO approval procedure

Hi,
My customer is having following requirement for PO approval procedure and would like to seek for solution.
The suppliers are either CAPEX or OTHERS supplier which I think of using UDF U_CAPEXSUPPLIER=Y or N in BP master setup.
OTHERS supplier PO
<RM2000 approved by local accounts
>RM2000 approved by CFO or one of directors
CAPEX supplier PO
<RM5000 approved by CFO
>RM5000 approved by one of Board of Directors
The 2000 and 5000 figures are applicable to both local and foreign purchase. ie if it USD suppliers then limit is USD2000
Thanks and regards
Thomas

Multiple Levels of Approval Workflow in SPD

Hi-
I'm building a workflow that has multiple levels of approval behind it. I know how to set up the multiple levels of approval, but sometimes this workflow needs to have 2 approvals and sometimes it needs to have 3 approvals. I'm hoping to pull
the info in from a SP List, but am not sure to do with the different number of approvals needed. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks a lot!

Yes you can create a column in SP List containing the Approver names. This should be a People/Group field or Single line of text can also work.
In your SPD workflow you can track the status of the previous Approver and based on this you may allow the workflow to move to next or stop it. Assuming that you will create a Status column having two values - "Approve" and "Reject".
If Approver selects "Approve" then workflow proceeds for next approval or else the workflow stops or if Approver chooses "Reject" then you may create a new task for the previous Approver and send him an email - Just a suggestion if you
have back and forth approval system.
If it is a simple sequential approval then can go for out-of-the-box Approval Workflow available. If there is some level of conditions then SPD workflow is an option.

Query that will trigger on Approval Procedures

Hi All,
I have this requirements that the user will prevent them to Add the Sales Order by triggering the Approval Procedures. I need the script that i can use to link on the Terms Based on the User Queries. The script will check if the Unit Price is deviates 50% from the original Unit Price.
Thanks and Regards,

Hi Melvin,
User query approval will only work on document header. Line level checking is not possible unless you just care about the first line.
Thanks,

Developping multiple level SOA approval in OIM11g

Hi Team,
How to achive the below functionality in SOA work flow:
1. Once Request raised , it will to 2 managers & 1 Super Manager(approvers) queue. for Ex : M1,M2,SuperManager. ----------> 2 hours,2hours,5Hours
2. A task should be created and ,It will sit in M1 Manager (approver) Queue waits for 2 hours, if he didnt act on the same (approve/reject) it should expired and should be cleared from the queue.
3.After 2 hours It should go to M2 Manager(2nd approver) queue and wait for 2 hours if he didnt act on the same for 2 hours again is task should expire from his queue and should be cleared.
4.Then it should go to 'Super Manager' Queue and wait for 5 hours, if he didnt act , then request should get expired.
to achieve this I have used the below code snippet:
<onAlarm for="bpws:getVariableData('managerapprovatime')">
<assign name="setExpiredStatus">
<copy>
<from expression="'EXPIRED'"/>
<to variable="ApprovalTask_Var1"
part="payload"
query="/task:task/task:systemAttributes/task:state"/>
</copy>
</assign>
</onAlarm>
from the em console I can see it is excuted the above code(SOA compsoite), but task are still in assign state and appearing the Approver queue even after 2 hours, 2 hours ,5 hoours
Please let me know how I can acheive this.
Thanks in Advance.

Query Based Approval Procedure for Sales order .

Hi
I have created query for SO which results above 5000 d 50,000 .
By using this each query i created two seperate Approval Procedures which So is >5000 d >50000.
If So>5000 Approval Procedure wants to activate same thing for >50,000., Bur approval Procedure is not working wat will be the cause. i have linked this query In Terms as when the following applies.
If SO >5000 approved by user A.
If SO>50,000approved by User A & B.
Regards
Giridharan

Hi Giri
Your query for the first should be as follows:
SELECT DISTINCT TRUE
WHERE $[$29.0.NUMBER] > 5000 AND $[$29.0.NUMBER] < 50000
For the second query:
SELECT DISTINCT TRUE
WHERE $[$29.0.NUMBER] > 50000
The query you were trying to use is looking at the table which will only apply to documents already posted, and as that query is not being filtered specifically it is bringing back all the records and getting confused. You must reference to the runtime value of the document being posted.
Kind regards

Configuring multiple level approval workflows

Hi,
1. I would like to know how to configure multiple levels of approval in a workflow.
For example, when a user self registers himself, the request must be sent to level1 manager and after his approval it must be sent to level2 manager for final approval.
2. I would like to know the difference between "provisioning" and "provisioned".
Path : Process definition->task->TasktoObjectStatusMapping
Thanks in advance

Hi,
For question no 1.
1.You need to create a approval process.
2.Create a approval task for example "Approve by Manger1". assign this to Manager level 1.If its not static assignment then you need to create task assignment adapter.
3.Create another approval task for exmaple "Approve by Manger 2" assign this to manager level2.
4.Have the 2nd task depends one first one so that until one is completed 2nd one will not start.
For question 2.
Provisioning status refer to when provisioning process is not complete.
Provisioned status refer to when provisioning process is complete.
You can map this status on the completion or rejection of any task.Usually provisioned status is mapped with success of create identity task.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
Regards
Nitesh

Query base approval for PO Unit Price

Dear All,
I want a Query Base approval
Scenario: If Purchase Order Unit Price Exceed form 10000/- INR then Purchase Order Goes to the Approval
Do any one have a Query base approval for above Scenario?

In an approval query you can not access all the row level data. (Only the first line.) So you can not connect your approval on row level conditions.
I can suggest one (but a little uncomfortable and complicated) workaround for approval on line level:
1. Create a header level UDF e.g. named ForApproval with possible values Y and N, with default value N.
2. Write code in the SBO_SP_TransactionNotification stored procedure, that signals an error message u2018You should set ForApproval to Y!u2019 if U_ForApproval=u2019Nu2019 and there is any line with fulfilling your criteria.
3. Set an approval procedure according to the header level ForApproval field.

SBO - Approval Procedures at row level

Does anyone know how to create an approval procedure that is triggered by a row field. For example if I want an approval procedure that verifies discount percentage in row level.
There must be a workaround, cause I know this is not a functionality in SBO.
Thanks,
Hernán Baudrit

The way you could solve this is to create a UDF at Header level and link a formatted search which loops through the number of rows in the transaction and returns TRUE if for example the Discount % is greater than allowed.
The coding should be something as follows:
Declare @Counter as integer
Set @Couter = 0
Declare @TempTable TABLE (STAT varchar(50)) -- Temporary table holding results of loop
Declare @LoopFor as integer
Set @LoopFor = (select (*) from (select T1.DocEntry
                                                          from INV1 T0 join OINV T1 on T0.DocEntry = T1.DocEntry
                                                                  where T0.DocNum = $[OINV.DocNum])
While @Counter < @LoopFor
BEGIN
      Declare @Disc as integer
       Set @Disc = ( select T1.DiscPrcnt
                                        from INV1 T0 join OINV T1 on T0.DocEntry = T1.DocEntry
                                                   where T0.DocNum = $[OINV.DocNum]) and T1.LineNum = @Counter
     IF @Disc > 20
     BEGIN
              INSERT @TempTable VALUES ('TRUE')
     END ELSE INSERT @TempTable VALUES ('FALSE')
@Counter = @Counter + 1
END
SELECT Distinct 'TRUE' from @TempTable where STAT = 'TRUE'
Please note that the coding is not 100% accurate but should give you an idea of how to work around the problem.
Next you should write a simple validation query on the value of the UDF to check whether it is set to 'True'.
I hope this helps.

Approval procedure query help

Hi there,
at the moment i am creating an approval procedure. This should check if a sales man enter a price that is less than the price from the standard price list. If it is, it should check if the customer already got this price.
If the customer got this price, there is no approval necessary. If the customer did not get this price, an approval procedure should be started.
I started to write this query, ith the idea to check a sum of two price for the approval. But i get an error if i insert this query.
DECLARE @x numeric(18,4)
SELECT @x= (SELECT $[$38.14.])
SELECT @x-T0.Price
FROM ITM1 T0
INNER JOIN OCRD T1 ON T1.CardCode = $[$4.0.0]
WHERE T0.Pricelist = T1.ListNum and T0.ItemCode = $[$38.1.]
Has anyone another idea or tips to solve my issue ?
Regards Steffen

Hi Gordon,
thanks for your reply, i inserted your query and it works from the point, thats not possible to create a order with prices less than standard prices. The system gives this error message :
Could not commit transaction '' (ADOC)
I think, like Suda already explained, the problem is, that it is not possible to base approval on row lines.
What do you think ?
Thanks Steffen

APPROVAL PROCEDURE THROUGH QUERY

Dear Suda,
Now i am telling wat i have actually done and wat is its result. Please try to understand it.
First of all I have made the querry below-
SELECT DISTINCT 'True', T1.DiscPrcnt AS 'Discount % per Row', T0.SlpName AS 'Sales Employee Name' FROM [dbo].[OSLP] T0 INNER JOIN [dbo].[RDR1] T1 ON T1.SlpCode = T0.SlpCode WHERE (T1.DiscPrcnt > 25 )
In this querry i have typped DISTINCT 'TRUE' manually but keeping the SELECT table as it is.In this case the system is not asking me for any kind of discount (not greater than 25% or not less than 25%)
After that i have modified above querry as below-
SELECT DISTINCT 'TRUE' FROM [dbo].[OSLP] T0 INNER JOIN [dbo].[RDR1] T1 ON T1.SlpCode = T0.SlpCode WHERE (T1.DiscPrcnt > 25 )
In this qurry i have typped DISTINCT 'TRUE' manually. When i executed this qurry i jst get the true in first row first column place.When i have attached this querry to approval, and after that when i have started for creating purchase order with the originators log in then in this case the system is asking approval for every discount from 0% to 100%.
Wat shud i do now...Please reply ASAP.
Swapnil

Hi, Swapnil!
You are on the right path, but I'm not sure if you can run this approval procedure at the line level.
The queries you had are against the wrong table (RDR1 is a Sales Order table) and are missing the link to the active document. You have to add the reference to the active document or else you are pretty much querying against the entire RDR1 table.
You need something like this:
SELECT CASE WHEN ($[$38.15.Number] > 25) THEN 'True' ELSE 'False' END
38 is the grid and 15 is the column for the discount.
I tried a basic case and it didn't work. I think you need to loop through all the lines, but I'm not sure how to do this.
You might have to create a header level UDF that changes automatically when the discount column changes, and has some logic to keep the highest discount you have on all the lines (something like: if discount greater than already stored value, update stored value) In the end, monitor this UDF for your approval procedure.
Hope this helps!
