UWL Approve Reject button not visible

Hello Experts,
We have implemented Portal 7.0 SP 18 and configured UWL. All task items are appearing correctly.
But approve and reject button is not visible in UWL. The same is visible in ITS screen when we click on the task.
Kindly help.

Hi Soral,
All workflows from ECC is causing this problem. To be precise I have configured a webflow connector to pull the tasks from SAP Inbox. The approve/Reject button should appear in UWL ivew when we select the task item. But only forward and resubmit options are visible.
I guess the problem is with SP 18 itself. Coz there are similar threads with the same scenario in SP 18.

Approve/Reject button not appearing in Email , but present in the notificat

Hello Friends,
I am using Po requisition Approval workflow in iProcurement for PR approval.
One strange thing is happening , that in approval emails Approve/Reject button are not appearing but the same are present in the notification.
Moreover , some people are getting emails, others are not.
We have just started setting up the instance for the design prototype , so might be we are missing some setup/steps.
Please suggest , what steps i am missing. Thanks !!!
Regards,
Amit

Verify that the email preference for the users is not "disabled"
Have the user login and go to the preferences link at the top.
OR
SELECT *
FROM apps.fnd_user_preferences
WHERE preference_name = 'MAILTYPE' AND user_name = '&user' Hope this helps

POR (Purchase Order Response): Approve/Reject buttons not functioning

Hi folks,
In SRM 5.0 extended classic scenario, a POR is sent to EBP from SUS. The POR is outside tolerances so it triggers workflow -WS14500019. When a user goes into their Approval Inbox they have the option to Approve or Reject the POR using the Approve/Reject icons.
When a user clicks on either the Approve or Reject icon, a message appears at the bottom of the screen:
"Work Item is been Processed, Please Wait"
When this message disappears the work item is not processed and remains in the Approver's inbox unprocessed.
If anybody has any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Pat

Hello Nagarajan,
Thanks for the response. I have realised that the Approve/Reject buttons should not be used with PORs. I am still a little unsure as to how it is supposed to work though. Take the scenario below:
A buyer orders a quantity of 10
The vendor responds with a quantity of 7 which is outside the tolerances and goes to approval
If the buyer does not accept the response but wants to request 10 again what should they do?
1) If they copy the POR to their PO a changed PO is sent to the Vendor with a quantity of 7.
2) If they copy the PO to the POR but untick the header and item levels in the POR, the SUS PO remains in a status of Confirmed so the vendor will ship the goods.
Which options above is most suitable when the Buyer wants to request the 10 again? Option 2 and then to manually change the PO to a quantity of 10?
Regards
Pat

UWL Approval/Reject buttons above the List

Hi all,
How can i place all the action buttons in UWL which appears for a particular work item above the UWL table . Presently they are present below the Description of the work item.is this can be done in XML configuration ?
Thanks
Prasad

Hi Prasad
I hope you are well and many thanks for using the SAP Discussion Forums. In relation to your query you mentioned the following:
How can i place all the action buttons in UWL which appears for a particular work item above the UWL table . Presently they are present below the Description of the work item.is this can be done in XML configuration ?
You are correct in your observation as this resolution comes down to XML configuation. I have outlined a sample below for your cross reference and convenience. The property you should be highlighting and reviewing here is "ActionPosition".
Firstly - Do you have the action defined in the view?
SAMPLE:
<Views>
<View name="com.sap.pct.erp.mss.tra.view.TripCheckView" selectionMode="SINGLESELECT" width="98%" supportedItemTypes="uwl.task.webflow.decision.TS00008267"
columnOrder="statusIcon, subject, priority, creatorId, createdDate, dueDate, processor, forwardedDate, attachmentCount, detailIcon, APPROVE,REJECT" sortby="priority:descend, dueDate:ascend, createdDate:descend"tableDesign="STANDARD" visibleRowCount="10" headerVisible="yes"queryRange="undefined" tableNavigationFooterVisible="yes"
tableNavigationType="CUSTOMNAV" refresh="300" dueDateSevere="0"dueDateWarning="0" emphasizedItems="none"displayOnlyDefinedAttributes="yes" dynamicCreationAllowed="yes"
actionPosition="bottom"referenceBundle="com.sap.pct.erp.mss.tra.TripCheck">
<Actions>
<Action reference= "<ACTION BUTTON NAME
REQUIRED>"/> </Actions>
</View></Views>
Where I have <ACTION BUTTON NAME REQUIRED> you should have something
like forward, etc.
Now a point to highlight there are two principals to remember when you are working with XML files.
Before making changes the XML files should be copied so changes can be reverted easily if required.
XML files follow the concept of precedence. So to realize changes in terms of visual display the newly edited XML file needs to be re-uploaded with a new priority of "High". After doing so clear the UWL Cache.
Kindly update me as per your findings.
Kind Regards

Approve/Reject buttons in UWL workitems

Hello,
We are on EP7.01 SP 7 implementing ESS/MSS. We configured UWL Connector under System Admin.-> UWL Config. to pull workitems from R/3 Inbox.
The workitems are coming fine for 'Travel and Expense' , but there are no Approve/Reject buttons there for the Manager to Approve or Reject the Travel Request.
Please help as to why this is happening.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi,
Did you apply 1133821? 95% of the time this will resolve the issue with the buttons. If you are still experiencing the issue after applying this note, please also check the following:
- Check that after applying Note 1133821 the destination names and the
UWL connector names exactly match, even considering case-sensitiveness.
If your portal system alias (=UWL connector name) is for example
XYZCLNT100, then the rfc destination name should be exactly
XYZCLNT100$WebFlowConnector. Please correct the rfc destination
accordingly.
- After you have checked/prepared the RFC destination for the future use
please delete that connector in the UWL config UI (Portal->System
Administration->System Configuration->Universal Worklist) with which you
would like to use this RFC destination.
After that
- restart the portal cluster
- recreate and reregister connector
Now retest. Are you still seeing the issue?

Approval/reject buttons disabled

Hello,
I am running SRM 5.0 Extended Classic.
I have a problem with approval of contracts. I have created a contract, released it and the workflow sends it to a user with approval rights. The contract can be seen in the approval inbox of this user where it says "approve contract xx" but the approve and reject buttons are grey and cannot be used.
The document is complete and in the workflow preview, I can see that it is waiting for approval. The user is correct
Any ideas why this happens?

2. Click on approval preview.
3. It will be showing one concerned approver for Ex: ( MGR1)
4. A mail will be sending to MGR1.
5. After that MGR1 should log in and clicked on " approve all items " button.
6. In the next screen it is asking final confirmation with YES/NO buttons.
Here my requirement is " I need to be displayed a text above these buttons(YES/NO) ".
So, Where do i need to do that, I mean where it is maintianing.
Please do the needful...!
I will be very much grateful to you..!

Calling BAPI on click of Approve/Reject button

Hello All,
I have a GP Application in which the initiator fills out a form which goes for approval to the approver.....now once the Approver clicks on Approve/Reject button i want to call a BAPI to update certain fields in the R/3 ......since those 2 buttons are part of the standard SAP Visual Approval Callable Object ....please let me know if this is possible....
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Regards.,
Anil

Hello Anil!
Basically, you have two options:
1.) You can invoke the BAPI from your VC model when the button is clicked.
2.) You can invoke the BAPI from the GP.
First of all, you should consider wrapping the BAPI with a web service.
For option 1: Import your web service into your VC model and invoke it when the button is clicked.
For option 2: Create a callable object from you web service. In the VC you must now provide a result state, which indicates whether the approve or the reject button has been clicked. Depending on this result state you can now invoke the callable object in your GP.
I recomment option 1.
Best regards
Alexander

Workflow user-decision mail with Approve & Reject button to Outlook.

Hi All,
Requirement: To send a mail with Approve & Reject buttons to outlook inbox.
Approach: I have used the user-decision step in the workflow and the approve, reject buttons are displayed . As far as solution in SAP inbox is concerned, it is solved.
However the requirement is to show the mail with the buttons in the outlook mail.
Resolution Required For: to show the mail with the buttons in the outlook mail. I am new to workflows sending mail to outlook inbox. Is there any way to do this using ABAP developments.
Thanks for your time.
Best Regards,
Goutham.

Hi,
If you are on ECC 5.0 or above, you can use the Extended Notif. for achieving this.
How are you getting the Outlook mail ?. If you already have Extn.Notif, then do the following :
1. In Transaction SWNCONFIG,for your Scenario and Category,
in the Subscription Basis Data -->Subscription Settings,
Set the parameter SHOW_ACTION_DECISION_AS as "LINK"
This will give you the options of your user decision as LInks in Outlook mail.
There is lot of material in this forum for Extended Notif. if you search.
Hope this helps.
