Shopping cart approval

Hi Experts,
We have following scenario to be implemented:
Item based approval is being used for approval of shopping cart.
The approvers are determined in BADI. The approver for a line item is taken as the owner of cost center which is assigned to the item.
Now the requirement is; if the item is distributed to more than 1 cost centers it should go for the approval of owners of all of them.
An item must be approved by all of cost center owners, to which it is distributed, to get approved. If any one of the approvers rejects, the item should be rejected.
Please let me know how can we achieve this.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Gaurav

Benedict,
You will have to change the workflow.
Once a workitem is rejected or completed you cannot revert back to the same workitem.
Either replace the email step with a dialog step that sends a new workitem to the previous approver or better yet add it after the email step. I am not familiar with the workflow in question but this can get quite complex. You may need to have the approval process in a loop and be able to dynamically decide who the previous approver was at any given time.
Hope you understand my point.
Cheers,
Ramki Maley.

Error in shopping cart approval

Hello all, I am working in SRM 7.0. I am working with shopping cart with one approve level only
The approver must be the requisitioner's manager always, but when I go to change shopping cart approve squema I have an error message.
I configured it:
In process levels for object type BUS2121
Process schema evaluation: 1EV_SC_001
Process level schema: 1C_SAPSRM_MIG_101 and 3C_SC_700_002
For 1C_SAPSRM_MIG_101:
Process level configuration:
Level Type: Approval
Responsible Resolver Name: RR_MANAGER
Task ID: 40007954
Decision Type: 2
When I save a shopping cart I have this error message:
No approver found RR_MANAGER BUS2121 4CFCDAE5BAC10B80E10080000A8C6250
In the organizational structure I am in the same organization unit of manager and I have only one manager in all structure. How can I determine the manager in this case? Which can be the error?
Thanks in advance

Hello, in SLG1 I can´t see errors, I only see this:

I am using 1EV_SC_001 evalution ID not 0EV000.
For evaluation ID 1EV_SC_001 I used 1C_SAPSRM_MIG_101 process level schema and RR_MANAGER as Resp. Responsable Name.
Can I used 0EV000 evaluation ID? What is the process level schema that I have to used?
Thanks in advance

Shopping Cart approval process in SRM using Black Berry

Hi,
I am very new to SRM. Here the user wants the whole approval/rejection process of shopping cart should be done via the Black Berry.
When a shopping cart is created in SRM then automatically a mail should appear in this mail box(outlook or lotus) as well as in the black berry mail box, so from black berry the user will accept/reject the shopping cart.
What workflow should be used? for mailing to outlook as well as in the blackberry whether we should implement any BAdI and also for integrating SRM & black berry whether we require any plug-in or configuration to be done..
Please do the needful..
Thanks and Regards,
Chandra Sekhar

Hi,
pl. read this:
Mobile Enterprise Buyer
Use
Users can log on to the Enterprise Buyer system using a WAP-enabled cellular phone or any other WAP-enabled front end. This allows them to perform many procurement tasks completely independently of any docking station. These mobile applications are part of the standard system setup for Enterprise Buyer.
Managers can approve shopping carts while on business trips far away from the office.
The start URL for the mobile scenarios is:
http://.:/scripts/wgate/wapbbpstart/!?~language=
where <language> = de or <language> = en, for example.
The initial screen is displayed in the relevant language.
Integration
You can either use your own WAP gateway or you can use a WAP gateway service from a telecommunications provider. If you have your own gateway, you can position it behind your firewall. This means that communication is via a dialup line as far as the WAP gateway, that is, a secure connection going behind the firewall. Beyond this point, communication is via HTTP. If you are using a WAP gateway service, the dialup line stops outside your firewall with the less secure HTTP communication starting outside the firewall.
The graphic shows a standard configuration with a WAP gateway located behind the firewall.
Prerequisites
You require the following:
WAP-enabled mobile device
WAP gateway
WML-enabled catalog that supports OCI
You have configured your Web server to handle the MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) types required for WAP. These are as follows:
File extension
MIME type
Wml
text/vnd.wap.wml
Wmlc
Application/vnd.wap.wmlc
Wmls
text/vnd.wap.wmlscript
Wmlsc
Application/vnd.wap.wmlscriptc
Wbmp
image/vnd.wap.wbmp
If you have your own Web server, you define the MIME types using the Web server's administration tools. In Microsoft IIS, you have to enter the types on the Properties page of your site on the tab card HTTP Headers. If you are not using your own Web server, inform the administrator or provider running the Web server.
Features
The following functions are available:
Create new shopping cart
Users can:
Select catalogs using input help
View catalogs (by product group)
Search for products in catalogs (full text)
Display item details
Add items to shopping carts
Delete items from shopping carts
Change item quantities
Delete shopping carts
Order shopping carts
When a shopping cart is ordered, an order confirmation is displayed giving the shopping cart name and the total value of the shopping cart.
Status check
Users can:
Display overview of shopping carts (shopping cart name and status)
Display header data for shopping carts (for example, shopping cart name and date of last change)
Inbox
Users can:
Display overview of work items (only shopping cart approval) and messages
Display detail view of messages (sender and full short text)
Display detail view of work items (full short text only)
Managers can approve or reject shopping carts
Managers can only approve or reject complete shopping carts. Approval and rejection at item level is not possible.
Reporting
Managers can display the most recent purchase orders created for their cost center(s).

Re-starting Item Level Shopping Cart Approval Workflow

Hi All -
We are implementing WS 14500015 - the Item-based n-level approval workflow for shopping carts - for certain scenarios. In other scenarios we are using the overall approval workflow.
I need to re-start the item-level approval workflow for certain scenarios (change in price, change in quantity, etc) - not when any and all changes are made to a line item.
I was hoping to use the badi BBP_WFL_SECUR_BADI - which works great for the overall n-level shopping cart approval workflow. However, I can't seem to hit it appropriately for the item level approval workflow!
Does anyone know if this BADI or any other can be utilized for determining when to re-start the item-level shopping cart n-level approval workflow?
Thanks so much!
Abby

hi,
Have you implemented the badi BBP_WFL_SECUR_BADI ? for restarting the workflow?
Let me know?
Also it is possible to debug and see why the restart does not happen.
Also let me know wether the restart happens in other cases?

Shopping Cart Approval & PO generation

Hi All,
I am using N step BADI for Shopping Cart approval process. Here can we generate the PO even when the Shopping Cart is awaiting Approval.
Please let me know how POs can be created without any approval necessary?
This is Urgent!!!
Thanks,
San

Hi,
Yes this needs to be active.
This is the job which updates the item overview status from awaiting approval to approved.
We had a similar issue for one step workflow for SC where becos of this the SC's were showing awaiting approval though the approver activity is completed.
Refer OSS note 790027 which says that after all configs the status is updated by background jobs. This is the one which is explained in it.
Go to SWU3 and verify all green tick marks "Schedule background job for event queue" is the with this job. Execute it and you can display the job from here.

PO releaser in R3 must be shopping cart approver

Greetings,
We have a requirement to configure R3 PO release strategies such that the final budget/finacial approver of the originating shopping cart should be determined as the PO releaser.
We are using SRM 4 and ERP 2004 backend.
How can we achieve this?
Do we need to store and transfer the shopping cart approver login ID in the backend PO in R3?
In terms of the required R3 release strategy configuration, how would we config the release group so that the shopping cart approver is determined.
I realise that this question is largely MM, but because PO releaser originates from SRM, i thought its best raised in this forum.
Thanks

Hello,
You can send what you want to R/3.
But ID & eMail address is not enough, you need the user (SU01) to loggin R/3 and release the PO in R/3.
That means you need to create SRM requestors also in R/3 to use them in PO release strategy
(usually requestors don't have a user account in R/3).

Accept / Rejection Reasons for Shopping Cart Approval

Hi experts!
Our customer would like to have the following functionality.
During approval workflow the user will either Accept or Reject the shopping cart and at the same time he must enter a reason for approval / rejection from a list with fixed texts / values.
I didn't find any documentation about rejection reasons during approval of shopping cart. Has anybody of you ever seen this or realized anything like that?
If SAP Standard doesn't offer anything suitable we might have to modify the approver screen or develop a new screen.
Any helpful answer would be much appreciated.
Best regards,
Corinne

Hi
Please try this ->
Re: Make mandatory field-Reason for rejection notes-SC approval screen
Reason for Return Delivery missing
Re: Text Types Issue on Bid/Quote
Temporary GUID coming from Sourcing in Doc change badi
Reason for Return Delivery
inactive approval and reject buttons on shopping cart approval screen
Else Use BBP_DOC_CHECK_BADI
SC header level Reject- Display error message
Hope this will help. Do let me know.

Addition of extra fields in Shopping Cart Approval Screen

Hi,
We are investigating how to change the design of the shopping cart approval table. We would like to include the row "Shopping Cart Number", and be able to sort on that column as well. Would that be possible?
We have been looking at SAP Note 672960 which describes how to add information to other objects, but not the approval screen.
Any suggestions?
Kind Regards,

SRM Shopping Cart Approval on mobile

Hi,
We have a requirement to enable approval of shopping carts from the mobile inbox of approver. The workflow under consideration is the Item-Based Approval Process (WS145000015). The workflow works perfectly well within SRM portal for single as well as multilevel approval.
We are presently testing the simplest approval scenario comprising of single level approval for the mobile requirement. All the items in the shopping cart should get approved/rejected in one shot. This is the sequence of FMu2019s our mobile app will be calling:
1.     SAP_WAPI_CREATE_WORKLIST u2013 to create the work list for specific user. Input: sap user id. Output: List of all work-items assigned to user
2.     SAP_WAPI_GET_OBJECTS u2013 Input: work item id. Output: object id (shopping cart no.)
3.     BBP_PD_SC_GETDETAIL - Input: object id obtained in step 2. Output: shopping cart header GUID from table e_header
4.     BBP_PD_SC_STATUS_CHANGE_WF u2013 to approve/reject the shopping cart. Input: shopping cart header GUID from table e_header in step 3, status = 0001 for approve and 0002 for reject. Output: status = RELS in the export parameter
5.     SAP_WAPI_WORKITEM_COMPLETE u2013 to complete the work-item and remove it from the useru2019s worklist. Input u2013 work item id. Output : Status completed
The issue is that, once the above FMu2019s are executed in sequence, the shopping cart gets approved and the work item is removed from the approveru2019s worklist but the workflow doesnu2019t complete. The workflow log indicates that the subworkflow - N-step parallel approval of shopping cart (WS14000014) is looping for second time looking for next level of approval. The subsequent PO is also not being created.
This issue occurs only when we are approving the SC using the BAPI. The workflow completes smoothly along with successful creation of the PO when the SC approval is done via the approvers UWL in portal.
Can someone help us identify whatu2019s wrong and fix the issue?

Hi Vishal,
Try this:
Execute SAP_WAPI_WORKITEM_COMPLETE to complete the work-item and remove it from the users worklist. Input - work item id
Output - Status completed
Thanks

Shopping cart approval substitution not working on 2 levels

Hi,
We have a few unique cases in approval substitution.
We have approver A for whom a substitute is maintained in HRUS_D2 table for period of 3 months as active substitute.
so normally any shopping cart which has been created for approver A sends a notification to approver B also.
but recently what happened is approver C has been maintained an active substitute in HRUS_D2 table for approver B .
so logically any SC created for Approver A should get sent to Approver C as Approver C is substitute for Approver B who is substitute for approver A.
What is happening is that Approver C does not get any notification of any shopping carts created for approver A approval. But if we login with approver B details the we can see the SC created and awaiting approval.
Can somebody tell us why SC are not flowing to approver C for approval.
Both are maintained as active approvers in HRUS_D2 table
Thanks R.M.

Hello
This is not a bug. It is the fact that Approver A has only given
approval authority to Approver B, but not to Approver C.
In order for Approver C to have authority to approve Approver A's workitems
he will have to be specifically authorized to do so, just as Approver B was.
Best Regards
