Workflow WS14000030 for vendor approval from OPI

Hi,
    The task TS14007942(approve creation of vendor) is included in the workflow WS14000030(Vendor One-Step Approval). Also included the agent assignment (Rule 00000157 for Manager).
It is given in help.sap.com as below ..
A vendor that has been transferred to the EBP System via OPI provisionally receives the status locked (all documents containing this vendor temporarily lose their validity). The system now checks the authorization of the purchaser / requester relating to transaction BBPMAININT:
·       If the purchaser / requester possesses the change authorization, the 0-step approval workflow WS14000043 starts and the vendor is released immediately.
Depending on the Customizing settings, a workflow notification follows.
·        If the purchaser / requester does not possess the change authorization, the 1-step approval workflow WS14000030 starts and the manager of the purchasers purchasing organization receives a work item with a request to approve or reject it.
When I checked the same,
   The Transaction 'BBPMAININT' is under the package 'BBP_BUPA'. There is only one authorization object under this package by name 'BBP_BUYER'.
   The documentation says "The object consists only of the field Activity.The activity has only one variant, 70 for 'Administration'; in other words: an 'All or nothing' as far as the data of the purchasing company is concerned".
can anyone help me in running the workflow??? How can I restrict the authorization for the transaction BBPMAININT.
Thanx,
Sivagami.R

Hi
Please try this ->
You have to assign authorization for changing shopping carts during the approval process. This is controlled by means of a role-based attribute BBP_WFL_SECURITY, and is set in the transaction PFCG on the Personalization tab page. There are four possible levels of authorization:
1) High: Workflow is never restarted.
2) Medium: Workflow is restarted based on start conditions.
3) Low: Workflow is always started.
4) No: No changes to the shopping cart allowed during approval.

If nothing helps, create a custom authorization object to meet your requirements and you need to attach the same to the particular user role (Take help of BASIS team in this case).

Vendor Approval Workflow error

Hi,
I tried (unsuccessfully so far) to turn on the standard workflow for Vendor approval (conveniently called: VendorApproval)
However when I try to change a vendor (thus triggering the workflow) I receive the following message:

Aan dit bericht wordt een uitzondering gehecht zodat er een stapeltracering kan plaatsvinden.
The last sentence is something like: An exception is added to this message so stacktracing can occur (or take place).
Any thoughts on this?
What I have done so far:
- Added a row to PS_EOAW_IDS for: VNDR_AF_XREF (since there was no row
Thanks in advance for reading!

After some more trial and error, the error was caused by a user. After the user was removed from the list (user list was based on a query using a specific role), the workflow worked correctly.

Vendor approval for outside operation

Hi,
I am trying to define a process for vendor approval for an external operation. We have service operations on our production orders and we are not using the 04 but only the 03 inspection type. Since the service operation is for account assignment F (production order) and does not have a material as a line item, how do I prevent the 101 goods receipt for the production order in case of an unapproved vendor was sent the service operation. Usually businesses do this as they have a vendor who is approved for other processes and hence the assumption is that he will eventually be approved and is good enough for an additional process. So they purchase at risk. If we had a 04 inspection type I could have given a one time skip MIC for the vendor approval and controlled it there. But since we dont have 04 inspeciton type how do I control this.
I am pretty sure this is a common scenario and someone on this forum might have had implemented this.
Thanks

Hello,
You can use scheduling agreement for your vendor approval process. For approved vendor you can set your rules and grouped all approved vendors in scheduling agreement. based on that system will take only those vendors from that grp and depend upon terms and contracts w.r.t scheduling line system will allow for PO.
I am not a MM consultant but yes you can take this as refference and ask MM consultant how to execute the same in your case.
Secondly for vendor approval you have any process like testing of its product or service or any document verification etc. ?
if it is there then just maintain the Q- Info and put quality controls over vendor master. w/o quality approval system won't allow to use the unapproved vendor.

In what case, we need to use PI for vendor replication in MM-SUS?

Dear Experts,
In what scenarios, we need to use or configure the PI settings for vendor replication between MM and SUS? The SAP configuration guide for SRM 7.01 mentions about the PI settings for vendor replication from ECC to SUS.
However, we are able to replicate the vendor from ECC to SUS using the program BBPGETVD in SUS client?
In what circumstances, we need to configure the PI settings for vendor replication when we are able to do so in a much simpler way?
Thanks in advance,
Ranjan
Ranjan Sutradhar

Hi Ranjan,
In all circumstances you need to replicate vendors from MM to SUS via PI. BBPGETVD is not the right way to replicate vendors to SUS because the information like vendor class, assignment of this vendor class to an object and the vendor classification cannot be transferred via BBPGETVD.
Hence you will have to use PI. You can try sending a PO from MM to SUS and the PO will fail in SUS with a message like 'Vendor not present in SUS' if you use BBPGETVD.

I Cloud approval from other device or verification code?

I just upgraded to IOS8 on iPad 3 and iPhone 6. For the I cloud set-up it is asking for an approval from another device or entering a verification code.
1. How to approve from other device? I have an iMac as well. OR
2. If you enter code the message is a verification code will be sent to a phone number (which is my house phone....does not receive texts).
What to do?

Hi Brad0266,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
From your post it appears that you have enabled two-step verifcation for your Apple ID, which is why it is prompting you to enter in a verification code from a device that you set up. Take a look at the support article linked to below to learn more about two-step verification.

Approval for Vendor Bid

Hi All,
I have activated "WS79000010"- No approval required for vendor bid and maintained the required start conditions for this workflow, but when the vendor submits the bids the system throws an error that " No approval workflow found. Inform system administrator".
We are using SRM 5.0 with SP09
Any inputs on this issue are highly appreciated.

Hi,
Please check your starting conditions.There seems to be some problem with that as the system is unable to identify the workflow to be triggered.
Also see teh foll note and related threads for more pointers;

Workflow for Vendor Master

Do we have any functionality of workflow for vendor master.

Thanks for your reply.
Dual control functionality we have already explained to the users. they are not convinced with that.
what users are looking at is the the purchase clerk will enter the purchasing related data in vendor master then the mail for approval will go the manager purchase. Upon approval, the accounting clerk will enter the company code date and for approval it will go to accounts manager. Once vendor master has been approved then only the transaction against this vendor should be possible.
Clerk creates vendor master> Manager Approves> then only vendor master is available for use in transaction.
this is the functionality the user is looking at.
Since I am a MM consultant does not know about work flow. If this kind of functionality is feasible in workflow then we can raise request in our company to arrange for a workflow consultant.
before that we need to be sure on that whether it is achievable or not.
Please confirm.

Some users continue to get overdue notices for an approval workflow.

Some users continue to get overdue notices for an approval workflow that has already completed and approved. How to stop the overdue notices. And there are no tasks running in the task list.

Start PO workflow after approved from first level

Hi Guys,
I have i typical requirement i my knowledge its not possible.
What exactly has happened is that after upgrade BUS2012 event linkage was not active and there where no workflow got triggered for PO approval
But the line manager have gone and approved the POu2019s from ME29N now for the next level they are asking to send the workflow as we have activated the linkage.
Any idea how can we start the workflow from that point again.
Atul

Hi Atul,
In production how many workflow's are there like this?
Its small amount of workflow's then you can again manually trigger the workflow using SWUE[You should pass the object key as purchase order number] and Complete the first level of workflow.
So it will be go for Second level of Approval.
If you have large amount of workflows that are already Triggered in production, then you have to discuss with your client about the issue.
Thanks,
Viji.

Removal of Buttons from Adobe form for PCR Approval

Hi,
I am using adobe forms for PCR approval using the Business object method EXTSRV-PROCESS. The binding parameters are as follows,
MODE = &Displaymode&
REQUEST_NO = &Notification.Number&
DESCRIPTION = &Notification.Description&
IFV = A
The display mode passed as parameter is 'Change'.
The problem is i am able to see all the 5 buttons (Approve/Reject/Return to Author/Compete/Exit) but I want only the Approve/Reject/Exit buttons to be seen. I found the following thread with more or less similiar requriement but unable to find a solution from it. Any suggestions on this?
Buttons for ISR_APPROVE & ISR_PROCESS appearing in Workflow
Thanks,
Prasath N

Hi Prasath,
Long time before even we too had a similar requirement...But we were not able to solve the problem. Luckily, USER is convinced with going ahead with those 5 buttons.
Will surely keep you updated in case if I get to know any solution.
