Vacancy Approval Custom Workflow

Hi All,
Purpose: approval process for all job vacancies, this approval process will be based off the approval chain entered in the dff segments on the 'Requisition and Vacancy' screen in the core application. The workflow process should start at attribute 1 and work thru the remaining populated attribute values till the last approver name.
The DFF for the screen is the Additional Vacancy Details. There are 7 segments setup for the approval chain, however not all segments will be populated for every vacancy approval.
Can you please give brief idea how to customize the vacancy approval workflow for aboverequirement. can we use Approval Management, is it support 7 approver levels?
Please suggest..Thanks.
Regards,
Prasad Raju

Hi,
Think there is still confusion on 'where' you want an approval.
Vacancies created in core HRMS are saved automatically, thus AME (Approvals Management) is not going to solve your issue. This is based on transactions that do not commit until approval has been gained.
e.g. Creating a Vacancy in iRecruitment
I'm guessing you want saved vacancies to start an approval chain (based on names in the DFF) and then when all approvers have approved, the 'Status' field in Core HRMS is automatically updated to 'approved'.
I presume you are making this Status field read-only for HRMS users creating the vacancies
Is this correct?

  • N Level approval custom workflow

    Hi, I have a requirement to implement N-Level approval custom workflow.
    I am aware that there is standard SRM N-Level approval but I need a customized one.
    Could you please provide any documentation/inputs on this.
    Regards,

    Hello,
    Documentation on how to implement an N-level approval workflow? That's very generic; just what are you expecting?
    What have you tried?
    Make a workflow with a loop that checks if any further approval is needed.

  • Issue in a custom workflow with Approval Type Notification. Urgent

    Hi
    I have created a custom workflow which contains an approval notification.
    If the user approves/rejects the notification I need to update a table column as Approved or Rejected.
    I have created a function activity,say X, which calls a PL/SQL procedure.
    The issue is,
    when the user approves or rejects the notification, the function X errors out even without entering the PL/SQL procedure.
    Following is the error message
    An Error occurred in the following Workflow.
    Item Type = XXYH_UMX
    Item Key = 55
    User Key =USERKEY:55
    Error Name = -6502
    Error Message = ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small
    Error Stack =
    Wf_Engine_Util.Function_Call(XXYH_UMX_WF_PKG.is_resp_assigned, XXYH_UMX, 55, 242407, RUN)
    Activity ID = 242407
    Activity Label = XXYH_UMX_ASSIGN_RESPONSIBILITY:XXYH_UMX_RESP_ASSIGNED
    Result Code = #EXCEPTION
    Notification ID =
    Assigned User =
    If I go the function from any other function,say Y, (bypassing approval notification) it works fine.
    Can you please help me what could be the issue?
    Thanks,
    Kamath.

    The danger in putting in one activity is that if there is any scope longer-term to expand the process to multiple activities, then it may be better to break it out into a sub-process early in the design phase.
    Generally, you get the feeling from the client fairly early on about whether they have a final design and how likely they are to complicate the process later on :)
    I wouldn't include it as a post notification function myself - it saves a tiny amount of processing time and database space, but at the cost of making it less clear what is happening. Plus you'd need to check the result in the PNF manually - putting it on a conditional branch ensures that you always know what the value is. If the lookup type changes at any stage, you would need to check a PNF to ensure that the code still remains valid; if it's on a branch then the only thing to change would be to change the label on the branch.

  • Custom workflow for Fiori Approve Timesheets

    Hello All,
    I am investigating complexity of adding custom workflow to Approve Timesheets.
    There is BADI SRA010_BADI_TIMESHEET_APV.
    Any experiences/advices  ?

    Hi Lukasz,
    How do you change approver using data from Ztable in the current system?
    If you are talking about workflow approver determination logic, it is a job for Workflow Engine and not for Fiori.

  • How to approve or release a Custom workflow release strategy using a prog.

    Hi There,
                  I am working with a custom transaction with release strategy using custom workflow. I am done with the module pool and workflow templates. And also I can able to start workflow using the FM SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT.
                  My actual Issue is I have set of buttons in the module pool screen with names Approve (1 to 5) and Reject (1 to 5). When I press the "Approve 1" release strategy of the first person need to approved. Is there any Function Module or Classes for approving the workflow release strategy using buttons in screen.
    Thanks in advance,
    Viruman

    Hi
    Make use of the function module SAP_WAPI_DECISION_COMPLETE. To this function moduel pass the workitem ID and pass decision parameter value as 0001 for approve and 0002 for rejection action. You can check in this forum with this function module you will find lot of threads.
    If its not a decision step then you can make use of SAP_WAPI_EXECUTE_WORKITEM or SAP_WAPI_WORKITEM_COMPLETE.

    Hi,
    I would need if I were designing my workflow approvals to be based on a custom table
    You want to maintain approver in the Custom Table and pick it at the runtime right.
    You can pick via Expression or Rule,... it depends on your requirement.
    For rule see this [link|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/d053fe48-6513-2b10-a59f-871923ff99d8].

  • Fiori Approve Travel Enpense Custom Workflow

    Dear experts,
    Regarding Fiori wave 1 application: Approve Travel Expenses, customer is using a custom workflow.
    The SAP standard workflow step for this app is a task decision type step.
    But the custom workflow step is an activity type step.
    Can we also map the workflow step outcome with user decision?(I think by implementing BADI)
    Is there any affect on the Fiori app implementation?
    Masayuki Sekihara
    Thanks and regards,
    Chloe

    Hi Masayuki Sekihara and experts,
    I'm facing a similar scenario with PO approval.
    The client uses Portal UWL to read their inbox and wants to replace SAPGUI PO approval UI with Fiori PO approval UI.
    What would I have to change in the workflows' task in order to make it fit for Fiori?
    I'm trying to put all pieces together but I can't make it work.
    I changed the WF and task (replace the task that calls BOR BUS2012 by a dummy task type activity that calls a redefinition of BOR, ZBUS2012, with an extra dummy method and events for Approve and Reject actions.
    Implemented Badi for enh.spot /IWWRK/ES_WF_WI_BEFORE_UP_IB method before_update to send data back from fiori to backend WF.
    I assume I have to change some config for Fiori PO approval app to map it to my new task and do the same in Portal 7.4 for UWL configuration?
    But, where or how do you set the text that will be displayed in UWL for this Fiori task?
    I'm executing the custom WF in the backend and get stuck trying to determine the agent (it comes empty). In the step in Control tab under Agents section I'm using a custom rule that calls a FM that pastes a custom value in EKKO then in the task in tab Default Rules I'm calling the standard rule 'Agent (default Rule)' = 20000027 biding PurchaseOrder and ReleaseCode.
    And I don't get to see the workitem in the approver's inbox (SBWP tcode) after creating the PO either. As far as I know this is something that should always occur (seeing the workitem in the approver's inbox regardless of what we use in the end: UWL and/or Fiori).
    Any pointers?
    Thanks,
    Laura

  • Custom Workflow using Oracle Workflow in ContentDB

    Hi,
    Could we use custom workflow which is made using Oracle Workflow instead of BPEL.
    Regards,
    Yulisar

    Having registered custom workflows for Content DB via Enterprise Manager, potentially you can use any tool capable of dequeuing/enqueing messages from the IFS_BPEL_OUT/IFS_BPEL_IN advanced queues as part of a custom workflow process.
    By default, we assume you are using Oracle BPEL PM with its Advanced Queue adapater to process the queue messages. However, there is nothing stopping using Oracle Workflow or any tool for that matter.
    HOWEVER!!! Warning!!! There is a high probability that Content DB will drop the bundled Oracle Worflow installation in the near future. What this means, is that you should consider installing/configure/patching your own separate Oracle Workflow installation and not rely on the bundled Content DB solution which is used internally for Serial and Parallel Approval workflows.
    thanks,
    Matt.

  • Can nested IIf be created in custom workflow (in Designer)?

    I need to explore building a custom workflow in Designer that will allow me to update a hidden field in the list.  Is it possible for me to recreate the nested IIf statement I have written below?  I'm not seeing how to do get an AND operator in
    the workflow designer, nor the nested concept.

    There are no mistakes; every result tells you something of value about what you are trying to accomplish.

    Hi run4it,
    When add multiple compare conditions in workflow condition, it will show the operator AND, then you can try disigning the logic of if else branch sentenses as Andy suggested.

  • Sharepoint 2010, InfoPath 2010 with Custom Workflow. Error Message: InfoPath cannot submit the form. An error occured while form was submitted...

    I have created an InfoPath form that submits to a Sharepoint library with custom workflow attached. The workflow is initiated when the user submits the form. An email is sent to the supervisor who clicks the "Encoded Absolute URL" and approved
    the form via the emailed form. Then, based on certain criteria the form is either emailed to the VP or the workflow is complete. The VP is sent an email and clicks the "Encoded Absolute URL" and sumbits the form via the emailed form. This is
    how I would like it to work. The reality is, the form submits and is emailed to the supervisor and the supervisor is able to approve but when the form is sumbitted I get an error. The error is "InfoPath cannot submit the form. An error occured while
    this form was being submitted. The form cannot be submitted to the following location: <URL> The file <URL> is checked out for editing by <me> The operation completed successfully." The operation did not complete successfully and it
    is not checked out. I have read in previous posts that the file is locked. Since I am in the testing faze of the project there is no one else using the form. I have waited 24 hours and the lock has not been released. Please help!!! My deadline is growing short.

    I ran into your post while having a similar issue.  I don't have a 'full' fix for you, but I noticed at least in our case if you made sure you opened the Infopath form through the browser instead of the client Infopath program (use the drop-down menu
    and open in browser) the error doesn't occur.  Hope that helps some....

  • Custom Workflows in ContentDB (OCS 10.1.2.3.0)

    Hi,
    One of our clients is doing couple of enhancements to their ContentDB system. As part of this enhancement, I'm looking for a better understanding about how Parallel-Vote works internally and would really appreciate if you could direct me to some pointers for the same. Please find below details on the Scenario/Requirement that I'm implementing.
    Scenario
    Before a document can be moved into Folder-X in ContentDB, it goes through a parallel-vote approval process. For this, we have defined a Parallel-Vote-Custom-Workflow on Folder-X (this gets triggered off on the "Move" event on Folder-X).
    As a result of this, whenever a document is moved into Folder-X, an approval request is raised - and an authorized person needs to approve it.
    Requirement
    1. When this document is approved to be placed into Folder-X, they want the same document to be copied into another folder "Folder-Y" as well.
    2. The approval request title has the format "Move Request for Document-A". The request-title needs to be tweaked to just say "Document-A" without the rest of the message. (Its a nice-to-have feature)
    To implement these, I'm trying to understand how Parallel-Vote is internally implemented in ContentDB. Is this internally implemented using a BPEL process? I checked the Custom Workflows defined in OEM and could not find Parallel/Serial Vote listed among them. So am just trying to find out, is there a way I can get a hook to the approval process happening internally so that I can implement the above requirements.
    Thanks
    Antony

    We've done it on a seperate AS 10.1.2.0.2, it works and i'ts normally a supported configuraiton. Of course you will also need an OCS database to store ocs data.

  • Deploying Custom Workflow to different target server

    Hi!
    We are trying to build a custom approval workflow and deploy it from my development machine which has SharePoint Foundation to a beta server which has SharePoint Enterprise.
    Does the deploy & development have to be done via Visual Studio on the server that will receive the deployment?
    The error message below sounds like it's pointing to that scenario.
    We are getting this error message on initial "Validate" of the SharePoint server when creating the project and when trying to apply a target list to the project:
    Cannot connect to SharePoint site:
    ...make sure the Site URL is valid, that the SharePoint site is running on the local computer, and that the current user has the necessary permission to access the site.
    I do see this thread which doesn't seem as though it's a supported approach:

    Please advise if I should be doing development and deploy via Visual Studio on the target SharePoint server.
    We would like to be able to avoid this scenario, and do all development from our own machines and not need access to the target server.

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you want to deploy a custom workflow remotely.
    If your workflow solution does not need to use the farm-level objects, we can use sandbox solution achieve it.
    We can create a sandbox solution workflow in Visual Studio 2012 use SharePoint 2010 template, and deploy remotely.

    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg615449(v=office.14).aspx
    If you workflow solution is a farm solution, we can use PowerShell Remoting
    to deploy it to the server.
