Activate Commitment for Purchase order after PO approval

Hi there,
A requirement is to have fund/financial commitments set only after PO approval (ME28, ME29N) and not before.
Is there any standard way or BADI or workaround to have such a system behaviour?
Kind regards

Hi again.
You are working with PSM - Public Sector Management (or EA-PS), were, additionaly to financial management you have budget management.
Try, in tcode SM30, to find tables starting with PFM*. This table - PFM_01005 - sets the moment when you want the commitment to be created.
Other helpfull tcodes:
PFM_TPCCOMP
PFM_01TP29
PFM_TPGCOMP - Geração automática do Compromisso
PFM_01050
PFM_01004
Cheers.

Plant getting updated after offline approval of SC in SRM

Hello Experts,
Please guide me in finding out the reason of why the Plant Value gets updated after the Offline Approval is done by the user in SRM.
when the user accepts the SC through mail we see that the SC gets approved status in Portal and in the backend PO we get that the Plant also gets changed.
So please help me in identifying the issue.
Thanks.

Hi Rajat,
We have debugged and analysed this issue, In offline approval system is picking last plant maintained for the company code from the table: BBP_LOCMAP. You can add one more plant to the table and check after offline approval. It will pick new one. Still we have not reached solution point, will let you know once we will find something.
Thanks,

SRM SC 'N' step workflow - Approver list wrong approver determined

Hi Team,
I am facing a repetetive issue for a SRM shopping cart N-step approval workflow.
Issue description:
1. The approver list populated in 'Subworkflow for n-Level Approval SC' step is incorrect.
2. The BADI for N-step determines correct approver (After running the BADI seperately)
3. The cost assignment (WBS) determined is correct, so no chance of incorrect approver.
Example:
As per WBS (say) E.008.01.02, the correct approver is 'A'.
The BADI when run separately gives 'A' as the approver - which is correct.
But, when the workflow is triggered and the approver list populated in the Sub-workflow step it gives approver as 'B'.
There is no link so as how this approver 'B' is determined.
I am unable to find the step where this BADI is populating this value (Code) and what could be the reason.
Appreciate your help as I am having a production emergency!
Many thanks.
Harsh Dave

Hi Vinoth,
The Task 14007989 deals after the approval list is populated.
If you observe the workflow log of a SC/PO, the step N-step workflow (sub-workflow) itself determines the approval list and then comes the step 'Determine Next Approver' - TS14007989.
I tried to where-used list and it just yielded two FM's - BBP_WFL_DIN_APPR_CONTAINER_GET & BBP_WFL_DIN_APPR_BY_RULE_GET.
But the 1st one is to get only approvers which are already determined in container & 2nd one checks for further approval required (Flag = 'X', see the FM interface).
This one doesn't help!
Thanks for your help, Let me know if you have any more findings on this!

After SC approval the PO is held.

We have just upgrade to the support stack 10 and have had a few problems the main one being : -
We create a SC and go through the approval process and at the last approval stage the PO number is issued but the order then goes to HELD? it is not passed to the backend. But we can push it by going into the order and re ordering it???
Please can you help me?

Hi Steve,
If the P.O is getting into the held status just after creating / approving the SC then check you Sourcing settings in SPRO.
SPRO > IMG > SRM > SRM server > Sourcing > Define sourcing for product categories
In that for the concerned product category if the setting is Sourcing never carried out then the approved SC will not go to Sourcing cockpit / Purchaser's work list. Instead it will directly create a P.O in Held / ordered status depending upon the completeness of data in SC.
If the SC is incomplete then the P.O is created in Held status otherwise the P.O will be created with ordered status.
Maintain the concerned category ID instead of " * " in the category ID column.
Hope this helps in resolving your issue. Clarifications are welcome.

PO not created after complete Approval of SC.

Hi Experts,
I am working with classic scenario with SRM 7.0.
I have an issue related to creation of PO at backend.
After complete approval of SC PO is not created in backend. The status of SC is showing as Approved.
There is no error in RZ20 or Application monitor.
Can you give some touch points where can I find some errors or reason for this.
Where can I check the PO create BAPI is called on approval of SC.
Please help me in this regard.
Regards,
B.N.Karthi

Hi
go to your BBP_PD
click item data
and search for your PO ?
you must have PO there ?
or check ANY ENTRY IN BBP_DOCUEMNT_TAB
Do YOU have valid source of supply?
E_OBJECT_ID-BBP_PDBEI - WHAT IS THER INSIDE?
As laurent staed below, you must check item status too :- it could be purchaser work list too or error in process or can not be ordered...

FYI Notification after final approval using AME

Hi,
We have a requirement where we need to send a FYI notification to a group of people after final approval. Could you please guide if it can be done with the help of AME or not.
If yes can you please tell me the detail steps.
Regards,
Rakesh.

Hi Rakesh,
- you can create another rule in AME with the same conditions as your main rule.
- Make sure the rule type is For Your Information.
- Create approval groups for the people you want to send the FYI notification to and add these approval groups to the rule (using Post Approval as action type)
- Make sure the order number of your new approval group is higher than the order number of the approval groups in your main rule. This will ensure that the FYI notification goes in the end and not somewhere in the middle.
Thanks

When approving a PO through SRM inbox, the 'Back to Approval' link ismissin

When approving a PO through SRM inbox, the 'Back to Approval' link ismissing

The issue that you have reported is not a bug, but a strandard. Once the
application is integrated to the Portal, the navigation between screens/
transaction is handled differently and should not be compared to ITS.
In EP, you will have to use the Portal's 'Back' button to navigate back.
Please refer to note # 933450 as the correction is the same for this
issue also.
The link has been removed because navigation in EP is handled
differently as compared to ITS. In EP you use the EP's navigation and
not ITS links like ('Back to Sourcing') or ('Return to Change Version')

How to redirect after task approved?

Hi All,
I tried to redirect after task approved/reject like:
%Current Task:Form_URN%]&Source=http://sharepoint/sitename
This technique is working in dev site but not in production. Its redirects to task list only. Is there any other work around for this issue?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to redirect after task approved.
In order to solve the problem more efficiently, can you descript more detail that how you create the workflow and where you add the action you mentioned?
In addition, please refer to the official article related, hope you could find something useful from it:

I am in process of restoring an iphone4 to its default settings after getting approval from my carrier to unlock it. Using itunes, it is saying "verifying iphone restore" and hasbeen stuck there for about 2 hours.

I amtrying to restore an iphone4 to its original default settings after obtaining approval from my carrier. I am using itunes and following instructions given. It has been stuck on "verifying iphone restore for about 1 1/2 hours with no movement in the bar across the phone itself. Task manager is showing very little activity. I have internet connectivity. Is this an issue here or with apple? Thanks.

Thanks. Finally unhooked the phone and then tried again. This time it went into recovery and reloaded all as it should have and gave me the "unlocked" message which was what i wanted to see! thanks

Okay, if the $PROFILES$ reference has been working for a long time that doesn't sound like a problem. I would then suggest this is an unusual data scenario where the value the user selected was temporarily available. Don't ask me how - it's your data! The user that submitted it might be able to shed some light. For example, this kind of thing might do it:
1) Manager logs on to ESS, starts an SIT transaction (the one in question) and Saves for Later. This sets $PROFILES$.PER_PERSON_ID to themself.
2) Manager then switches to MSS and views one of their employees - this sets $PROFILES$.PER_PERSON_ID to their employee, not themselves.
3) Manager then navigates to Homepage and continues the Saved for Later transaction from the Worklist (ie, without clicking on the ESS responsibility). Perhaps $PROFILES$.PER_PERSON_ID is still set to their direct report rather than themselves?
4) Manager then selects one of their employees contracts rather than their own (because of $PROFILES$.PER_PERSON_ID being wrong).
5) Manager submits the transaction.
I don't know if that's possible or even if that's how it behaves. But it sounds plausible and is an example of perhaps the weird set of circumstances that might have happened here. Regardless, I'd still maintain that this value was available to the user in the Value Set at the time they submitted it.
If it's just a one-off data problem and this has been working fine for a while I wouldn't worry about it. Bin the workflow, get the employee to re-submit. Job done.

Vendor name is deleted after the approver changes the product category.

Hello,
We have implemented workflow WS14000044(Completion by Purchaser) and
WS14500015(Item-Based Main WF).
At workflow WS14500015 level, when the approver changes the product
category, the vendor name is deleted.The previous validation allows the
PO creation , But the PO is created without vendor.
Furthermore under transaction process purchase orders 'BBP_POC' the
purchaser can not access in change mode to the vendor field in order to
add a vendor.
How can we give access in change mode to the vendor field for purchaser in transaction 'BBP_POC' ?
Regards,
Lina

You can re-output a message that has already been outputted (printed or transmitted).
"Repeat message" function
You use this function if you wish to print out or transmit again a complete purchasing document that has already been outputted. Note that the system takes account in the message of any changes made to the purchasing document since it was last outputted - i.e. the system always outputs the current status of the document. If you wish to have old statuses available, you must optically archive the purchasing document.
Activities
You invoke the Messages screen as follows:
Via the purchasing document itself (Header Messages) or
Via <Purchasing document> Messages Print/transmit.
Enter the processing status 1 (successfully processed) and display the messages.
Select the desired message and choose Goto-> Message details.
Choose Edit-> Repeat message or Change message.
The system inserts the new message. If a change message is involved, the system sets the Change indicator.
Save your data.
Hope you find this useful.
