SC still in approval status after creating a SC

Hi guys,
we have implemented SRM 4.0 (SRM-Server 5.0) in ECS as a test-system. All Workflows did work until we installed SP 9 and 10. By installing these packages we had to delete some taks for workflows (activation of WS10000060). We reactivated the workflow but now if we create a SC the approval workflow is not started automatically. In this case no approval-Workflow (WS10000060) is not started. We checked all instructions of note 322526 but we didnt identify any error. If we create a event manually with transaction SWUE the workflow is started and the SC is approved. In transaction RZ20 we got the following error messages:
Folder SAP EBP Procurement Internal Monitors -> Internal Errors -> Approval: "Function module error BBP_PDH_WFL_START_NOW at position BBP_API_SIMULATED_WF_SCHEDULE start now. Sy-subrc:"
Folder SAP EnterpriseBuyer Monitors ->Approval -> Other Errors: "Object is not a procurement document"
Thank for your help in forward. We appreciate your help a lot.

Thank you guys,
this note did solve my problem.

Not able to change status after creating revision

Hi All,
I am not able to change status of the document after creating revision.
Here are the steps I am doing:
Set
- I assign the change number to the document.
- Now, I open the document in cv02n and change the status.
- New revision is created with revision level 01.
Now I want to change the status of the document to the next status according to status network but its not happening. Would you please provide your valuable suggestions.
Regards
Vidit

Hi Vidit,
based on your description I've tested the behaviour on our test system and I would kindly tell you that the behaviour you are facing is the standard. The mentioned error message are raised because, since the Change Order is released, the DIR remains locked and you will not be able to make any changes to the DIR, including the status.If this DIR was not associated to the Change Order(which is released),you could have made changes to the document status.
Please note that status change with 'Change Master Without Release Key' is possible to change the status but with 'Engineering Change Order with Release Key' it's not. I hope this information will help you.
Best regards,
Christoph

Approval status after copying sharepoint issue (help friend)

Re !
It's surely easy...I gonna try to be clear :)
In sharepoint I got 2 lists : list01 and list02
On my list01 I have a workflow.
In the list01, if the approval status of my item is "approved" then I copy the item in list02.
My problem is :
the copied item in my list02 (yet "approved" in list01) have a approval status "waiting for approval"
Strange ?
How to keep it "approved" ? What I do not do well ? I have to change my workflow on list01 ? Create a workflow on list02 ? Settings/configure on my list02 ?
I don't understand this behavior.
Thank you for reading.
Regards

Hi,
The approval status column is a system column, it cannot be copied by workflow.
You can click approve/reject button in the ribbon to approve or reject the new item in list02 manually.
Or you could change the approval status from “waiting for approval” to “approved” by code in the list02.
The article below is about how to update the content approval status column.

PO still in Approval Status (Urgent)

Hi All,
I am working on extended classic scenrio.
I ordered a shopping cart which has the status approved and follow on document were created in this case it is a local PO(contract release order)
when I checked the local PO, I found that this PO is in approval state also a copy of this PO exist in the backend system.When I tried to change this PO I get the warning message that "Document is still being processed in the background,try again later".
I tried several times at regaular interval but again it gave the same warning message.
I also checked the two reports clean_reqreq_up and bbp_get_status_2 and I found that some of the entries are missing beacause I created this PO around 2pm and the entries were available in the two report from 10 pm.
I think something might have gone wrong there but I am not having a log of that.
I am on SRM version BBPCRM 4.0 SAPKU40007
R/3 version 4.6 C SAPKH46C47
Regards,
Raj

Hi Cristophe,
I checked the table BBP_WFLOCK and could not find any entry.
However in transactional RFC I could see an entry for this user XXXX and tried to delete this entry but I am not able to do so,below are the details observed in SM58
SWW_WI_EXECUTE_INTERNAL_RFC is the Function module.
WORKFLOW_LOCA is the target system.
Error in the module RSQL accessing the database is the status text.
Also I checked the FM BBP_PDH_WFL_CHECK_WF_BUSY but did not find any error.
One thing I would like to mention is that in BBP_PD the workflow status is completed for the PO but only in the web browser it is showing the status Awaiting Approval.
Again I tried to change the PO but again I received the same warning error "Document is still being processed in the background,try again later".

Raj

Repgroup still in "QUIESCED" status after resume_master_activity

Hi All, i have issue with oracle advanced replication on 10.2.0.3 database.
I have a master def side and a master site.
There is a problem of data consistency between the master def site and master site.
So i have recreate the setup of repgroup again.
I have done the dbms_repcat.create_repgroup and add_master_site, as well as generate replication support
and resume_master_activity.
However after a long time (more than 12 hours), the group GRPREP1 still have status "QUIESCED" status.
Can you please advice what should i do in this case ?
Thanks in advance.
Master Definition Site :
========================
SQL> select gname,status from dba_repgroup;
GNAME STATUS
GRPREP1 QUIESCED
1* select TIMESTAMP,request,STATUS from dba_repcatlog where request like '%RESUME%' order by 1
SQL> /
TIMESTAMP REQUEST STATUS
20-03-09 17:01:25 RESUME_MASTER_ACTIVITY AWAIT_CALLBACK
20-03-09 17:01:25 RESUME_MASTER_ACTIVITY READY
10 rows selected.
Master Site :
=============
SQL> select gname,status from dba_repgroup;
GNAME STATUS
GRPREP1 QUIESCED
SQL> select TIMESTAMP,request,STATUS from dba_repcatlog where request like '%RESUME%' order by 1;
TIMESTAMP REQUEST STATUS
20-03-09 17:01:25 RESUME_MASTER_ACTIVITY READY

1. Check if there are error entries in DBA_REPCATLOG WHERE STATUS='ERROR'
2. Check if the Repcat Admin job is present in the Job queue (in DBA_JOBS) and has a correct NEXT_DATE, NEXT_SEC and hasn't reported any FAILUREs and isn't BROKEN.
3. Check if the DBMS_DEFER_SYS.PUSH job is present in the Job queue.

SP2010 Designer workflow "Set Content Approval Status" does not work

Hello
I'm having a problem with a workflow for one of my clients.It is a SharePoint 2010 environment and I can only use SharePoint 2010 designer (no visual studio).
We have an approval workflow in place, which works great. After the document approval workflow has does its thing, a new workflow can be launged by specific users (they have writing rights and can approve content). The workflow is used to set the release
date of the document. This can only be determined after content approval.
However, when the release date is set, the document approval status is changed to concept. This is of course to be expected, as we changed to document metadata. That is why I wanted to add the action "Set content approval" to this workflow. I cannot
seem to get this action to work. Right now the workflow does the following:
check out the document (check out is obligatory in our library)
set the release date field to the released date parameter (defined when starting the workflow)
check in the document
set content approval to approved.
The release date gets set to the parameter value, but the document is not checked in and the content approval status is not set. SharePoint produces the following error message (translated from Dutch): "An error occured. Cannot edit the item, possibly
because one or more columns require another type of content. Unknown error."
Guided by other posts online I gathered that this might be because the actions checkin and set content approval occur to close together. I tried letting the workflow pause for the duration of 1 minute after checking in, but this pauses the workflow indefinitely.
I then tried 5 minutes (as this is the time standard set by SP2010 designer) but this also resulted in indefinite pausing.
Posts online lead me to believe that I'm not the only suffering from this problem, but as of yet, I haven't been able to find a solution that works for me. Hopefully someone can help me.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that the "Set Content Approval Status" didn’t work in SharePoint 2010 Designer workflow.
I try to reproduce the issue and the result is the same as yours.
If I only check out and check in the item, the workflow works well.
However, once I set Content Approval Status after checking in the item, the workflow get error.
As a workaround, I recommend to use two workflow to achieve what you want.
First, create the first workflow, and allow the workflow to be manually started.
Then, create the second workflow, and
start the workflow automatically when an item is changed.
When you start the first workflow, the document will be set value of the release date. And then the second workflow will be started automatically to set the content approval status.
Thank you for your understanding.

OOTB Approval Workflow on Custom List does not Update Approval Status

I have a custom list on which I've required content approval. I then created a workflow instance from the "Approval - SharePoint 2010" template. For this workflow I have selected "Update the approval status after the workflow
is completed (use this workflow to control content approval". When I approve the list item via the workflow task item the status of the item is not updated but stays at pending even though the
workflow shows "Completed" with the Outcome of "approved". Is this the expected behavior, i.e. does "Update the approval status after the workflow is completed (use this workflow to control content approval"
not work for custom lists? Does it work on any of the lists?

Hi Kalos1840,
If you check "Require Content Approval" setting, only the way above can update the approval status due to the approval status is for this approval workflow. As this approval workflow cannot achieve your demand, I recommend you un-check "Require Content Approval"
setting and create a custom workflow such as the OOTB Approval Workflow or SharePoint Designer workflow.
Here is the steps of a SharePoint Designer workflow:
1.Go to your custom list , click Create a Workflow in SharePoint Designer.
2.Add a “Start a task process” action in your workflow.
3.Click “these users” and Start a Task Process edit page will pop up.
4.In the Participants field, input your approvers based on the order of approval.
5.In the right of Participants field, select “Serial (one at a time)”.

Approval Workflow does not update the Content Approval status if started automatically

Hi,
I’m using a simple Approval Workflow associated with
Content Approval on site pages. It works fine when I set it to be started manually (by using
Allow this workflow to be manually started by an authenticated user with Edit Item permissions
option) and on the completion of the workflow the
Content Approval status is updated accordingly. But when I set it to be started automatically (by using
Start this workflow when a new item is created
/ Start this workflow when an item is changed
options), it does not updates the Content Approval status. Note that I’ve set the
Update the approval status after the workflow is completed (use this workflow to control content approval)
option to true.
Regards

Hello,
It is recommended to select "Start this workflow to approve publishing a major version of an item" when you want to use the workflow to manage content approval for
a library.
According to the Notes for “Enable Content Approval” option in
this reference:
If you are using this Approval workflow to manage content approval (moderation) for a library, and you selected the Start this workflow to approve publishing a major version
of an item check box on the Add a Workflow page..
If you did not select the Start this workflow to approve publishing a major version of an item check box on the Add a Workflow page because you do not want this workflow to
be the default content approval workflow for a library, you can select the Update the approval status (use this workflow to control content approval) check box to make this workflow a secondary content approval workflow that specific users can
start manually.
That means having an approval workflow start automatically when a document is changed or created is not a good practice when you want to use the workflow to manage
content approval for a library. You should either select "Start this workflow to approve publishing a major version of an item" or give users the option to start the workflow manually at the time they want to submit for an approval.
Thanks & Regards.

Hi,
One more strange thing is that there are some shopping carts with status
Stats:

HEADER     I1038          Complete
HEADER     I1106          Shopping cart ordered
But these are very old.
All the shopping carts that were rejected in recent times are..
Stats:
           Status         Description                    Inactiv

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.
