Standard n-step approval workflow for Purchase Order in sap 4.7?

Hello friend,
In SAP 4.7 there is any standard template for n-step approval workflow for Purchase Order.
thanks in advance.

Hi AM,
there is no std template for n-step approvals but for Single Release.
What you could do is create a custom one as per the number of approvals for PO.
Also note a PO Release Strategy can handle only 8 levels of approval.
Hope it helps.

Creating workflow for purchase order release.

Hi friends
I want step by step detail about creation of workflow for purchase order release..
After release purchase order it will goes to the two level of approval..
after that the workflow should be completed...
how can i develope the workflow for that scenario..
Thanks
Gowrishankar

Hi Gowrishankar,
You can get step by step workflow for PO using standard workflow
Release of Purchase Order :WS20000075
And for two levels of approvals you have to configure in SPRO the path is
Purchase Order:
SPRO> Material Management->Purchasing->/Purchase order-->Release procedure ---> Procedure with classification ---> set up procedure with classification ---> double click on Release strategies and Workflow.
If you don't know about this configuration, you have to confirm with your MM consultant.
Thanks and Regards,

Also it is not possible to create PO for Quantity more than the PR quantity.

Workflow for Purchase Order Form?

I am setting up a paperless Purchase Order system at my company.
A Purchase Order form has been created in Acrobat with spaces for 4 digital signatures.
There is a network filesystem where a copy of the form can be stored and completed copies of the form placed. Preferably, a copy of the form will be retrieved from the server, then emailed through the signature process.
The Workflow:
1. A user obtains a copy of the PO form, fills it out, digitally signs the form and sends it to their supervisor for approval by email (preferred) or by placing the form in a shared directory.
2. The supervisor digitally signs the PO and sends it to their Manager.
3, The Manager digitally signs the PO and sends it to the approval authority.
4. The approval authority digitally signs the PO and forwards the form to the purchasing department for placement.
There are about 100 users, 20 supervisors, 5 Managers and 1 Approval Authority.
How would this workflow be implemented? What I have found so far is examples where 1 form is distributed to a number of people, filled out and returned, collated and reviewed. I been unable to find any examples of this type of workflow.
Any suggestions?
Dennis

It's not that difficult. I think there is only one entry for the object and event you use in your workflow.
If you would have done a little searching in this forum you would have had your answer already.

Workflow for Purchase order creation!!!

Hi,
I am new for SAP Workflow. I have a requirement to create workflow for PO creation. Once the approval of 2 levels, then PO should be released. Could you please help me to do this. Please provice me the step by step procedure or relevent materials links.
Thanks in Advance!!

Hi,
Get yourself familiar with terms like PO release strategy, etc. This has lots of material in SAP help. You might also take a look to SAP MM workflow scenarions document - it has documentation of PR release, but the idea is quite similar with POs.
You can also google "PO release strategy in SAP", and you should find some step by step instructions.
In general, lots of things can be done purely by configuring in SPRO and not that much WF development (if any) is required unless you have some specific requiremenets.

Idocs for purchase order in SAP to SAP

Hi
I have to send purchase order from a SAP system to a SAP system, creation and modification both.
I found these Idocs:
ORDER in sender SAP
PORDCR for creation in destination SAP
PORDCH for update in destinaton SAP
My problem is that all of three idoc have different segments, so i have to map field by field: is there a different solutions, always using idocs and not BAPI directly?
Thanks lot.
Matteo Vernile.

Hi Matteo,
To send purchase orders you can use next Idocs:
1. Creation -->Idoc type: PORDCR102 Message: PORDCR1 This Idoc is based on BAPI_PO_CREATE1
2 Modification --> Idoc type PORDCH02 Message: PORDCH This Idoc is based on BAPI_PO_CHANGE
Using standard boldSAP message determinationbold you can create these Idocs without create any ABAP program.
If you are not creating the Idoc using the standard Message Determination, you should obtain the data using the bapi BAPI_PO_GETDETAIL.
Reward points if helps.

Activating conditions for Purchase Order workflows in EBP

Dear SRMer's,
I am facing the following problem:
System Info :SRM Server 5.5, ECC 6.0
Scenario 1:
All start conditions for Purchase Order in SAP Business Workflow are activated.
I created a direct procurement shopping cart (DP) in SRM browser and ordered it, then I logged in as proffessional purchaser, changed the Price and processed the DP PO.
When Ordering, the follow on Documents are created, but says the PO is waiting for approval. When I check for this PO in the Backend R/3 system in the Me22n (Display PO changes), I don't see the PO.
Scenario 2:
All Start conditions for Purchase Order in SAP Business Workflow are de-activated
I created another direct procurement shopping cart (DP2) in SRM browser and ordered it, then I logged in as proffessional purchaser, changed the Price and processed the DP2 PO (Status is held).
When Ordering, I get the Warning message, no workflow found, contact system administrator.
Please advice what needs to be configured for the PO to be ordered successfully.
Thanks in advance
Raj

Hi,
In your scenario 1, if system is saying that there the PO has to be approved, it means that you have managed the user that will receive the workitem..
Activating all PO WF is not a solution as in standard there are two many cases activated (amount, role, limit...)
I propose you to first activate only the 0 step WF and to overwrite the code inside
Just code that every PO modification should trigger O step WF thus it will be more simple to test it.
Later on, if you want to implement more complex starting conditions, you just have to modify the WF content...
Kind regards,
Yann

Hi Sagar
For the Confirmation you need to do the customizing for confirmation control, like what would you like to do after the confirmation. Confirmation is an inbound process.
For Invoice you need to complete the customizing under LIV in SPRO- for Invoices received via EDI.
Please go throught the help link for further details.
