925685 - Approval process is not triggered after documents are added

Hi there,
I was wondering if anyone found already a solution for the following problem.
According to SAP Note: 925685 - Approval process is not triggered after documents are added.
Within our SAP application, we want to approve purchase orders for departments based upon the document total.
I was very astonished that employees are able to add a PO which will not trigger an approval stage and after the document is added, they have the possibility to change the document and at the update moment no approval will be started even if the document meets the approval requirements.
Therefore I really want the flexibility to give users the possibility to change their PO.
Meanwhile, documents which are added under approval, are also locked for changes, although this is another question it is also pretty annoying!
I hope anyone has already found a method or work around for the stated problems above.
(We are using SAP 8.8 PL 20)
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards,
Marcel

Hi Kambadasan,
Thank you for your reply
I'm sorry but I know how the approval templates work and they are configured correctly, however as SAP also mentioned in their own Note, this is due to the lack of SBO that SAP has such behaviour.
Hi Gordon,
Thanks for your reply.
Unfortunately I have not found the post you mentioned...
I will post my issue alson on the topic you mentioned.
Hopefully they found a solution or maybe version 8.81 will solve the problem.
Thanks a lot!!
Kind regards,
Marcel

Workflows not triggered when documents are created in Doc Set via Content Organizer

The following is my scenario:
A document set (containing several documents) is created in Library A on Site A
Using Send To, the Document Set is sent to the Drop Off Library on Site B (a different Site Collection)
A Content Organizer rule then moves the Document Set and its documents to destination Library B
In Library B I have defined a workflow (using Visual Studio 2012) that is triggered when new item is create
When the Document Set arrives in Library B from the Drop Off library (i.e. when the Content Organizer moves the Doc Set to Library B), the workflow is triggered (and executes) on the Document Set, but it is NOT triggered on the documents within the Document
Set. How can I get the workflow to trigger on the documents within the set when they are created via the Content Organizer rule?
The interesting thing is that if I manually add another document to the Document Set in Library B, the workflow is triggered on that document. It just does not trigger when the documents are created via the Content Organizer.

Hi,
In edit Content Organizer rule page, I see there is an option as Automatically create a folder for each unique value of a property:
However, unlike the drop down used in the property based filters above, this drop down *only* contains properties that are required by your content type.
This is done to prevent adding folders that have no values for a property.
If you need to put similar documents to the same folder, you could consider making use of this feature.

HT4858 Is anyone else having problems with shared photo stream URLs not updating after photos are added or deleted from a shared photo stream?

I have made quite a few shared photo streams and love the idea of sharing easily with a variety of friends and family. The problem in having is that any modifications made to the shared photostream (adding/deleting pictures) are not updated in the URL I have sent to my family and friends. Is anyone else experiencing this? Does anyone have any ideas or solutions?

Disable Photo Stream in the System/iCloud preference pane
and in iPhoto's Photo Share preference pane.
Reboot and reenable both respectively. That should jump start Photo Stream on your Mac.
Happy Holidays

DRQ# Approval Process Does Not Fire on Update of Document

Hi,
If a purchase order is added for a value which does not require approval, then later the actual price of the order is known and is a value which requires approval, the user is able to update the purchase order without an approval procedure being triggered.
Note #925685 states that approvals will not trigger on update, however this means a user can modify documents to a value which should require an approval process.
Lianne

Hi Lianne and Davis,
I was wondering if you already found a solution for this problem.
Unfortunately I did not found your post about the approval process.
( Re: 925685 - Approval process is not triggered after documents are added )
Do you know if this is solved within 8.81 or did you find another solution?
Kind regards,

"Ask to buy" and "Sign in to Approve" process is not working

Last weekend I setup Family Sharing for the first time, but the "Ask to buy" and "Sign in to Approve" process is not working. I am the Family Organizer and I created an account for my child under 13 with "Ask to buy" enabled. My child can go in to the App Store, click "Buy" for a desired app and I get a notification on my iPhone 5s... as expected. When I open the Notification I have the option to Decline or Approve. If I select Approve, a box pops up asking me to enter the password for my child's iCloud account to complete the request. (It seems odd to me that I'd have to enter his password instead of my own, but whatever.) So I enter his password and the box goes away for a second and then comes right back like I typed it wrong or something. I enter it again and again and always the same box comes back and the request is never completed. We've tried this several times over several days and always see the same behavior. I have also tried entering my password instead of his (since that makes more sense to me) but I encounter the same problem.
I have verified that I am signed in to my iCloud account and my iTunes account on my iPhone 5s. I have also verified that my son is logged in with his iCloud/iTunes account on his iPod touch, so why isn't this working? Additionally, if I disable "Ask to Buy" then I can successfully install apps on his iPod from the iPod itself.
Is it normal for the "Sign in to Approve" box to show his iCloud address instead of mine? And if so, why doesn't it complete when I enter his password? Am I missing something completely? This is driving me crazy.

Hi ,
When you click your link "Click here", the SharePoint web page with anchor will not work until refresh the page, if it's the case, you can add the javascript code to refresh the page automatically as workaround per the following similar post.

Roboformtaskbaricon process will not close after firefox 9 is shut down

Hello,
The roboformtaskbaricon.exe (v754) process will not close after firefox 901 is shut down. Although I could be wrong, my guess is that firefox is pushing this process out of firefox, forcing it to run on its own. If it's a roboform issue, then I will contact them.
Thank you, bheart

On the page below, scroll down to "RoboForm Controls", then scroll down to '''''4. Taskbar Icon''''' under that heading. It sounds as though this may be the item to which you are referring. From the name of the file '''''roboform<u>taskbaricon</u>.exe''''', it implies the Windows Task Bar rather than the Firefox toolbar.
*http://www.roboform.com/support/manual/roboform#files
For clarification of '''''roboformtaskbaricon.exe''''', its function and whether it should shut down when exiting Firefox, contact Roboform Online Support and leave full details of your question:

In a process chain,the next process is not triggering automatically?

Hi All
We have have a metachain,in that we have many local chains,in one of the local chain once the above process is successfully completed then the next process is not triggering automatically,which should suppose to happen?
Can anyone help me out why this process is not triggering automatically and how/where to check?
As this problem is repeating daily and loads are delayed due to this
Regards
Balji

Hi,
you can manually start that job, by changing the job insm37, it will show you the job priority ( A OR C.) you can change it to A, and youc an change your start condition also there.
or you can use this RSPC_PROCESS_FINISH to trigfer process.
But, process chain processes should be triggered automatically, i think this issue is due to load of jobs ( in your server there should be lot of jobs having higher priority than this job), this will solved automatically when load is less.
hope this will be helpfull.

Release strategy for RFQ's not triggered after change

Folks,
Release strategy is active for RFQ's. In case of initial creation, the release strategy is active. After releasal a change is made to the existing RFQ. However, the release strategy is not triggered. Characteristics used are:
1) document type (AN)
2) purchasing type (RFQ purchasing document)
It is obvious that these characteristics will not re-trigger the release strategy. On header level, there is no field in CEKKO available to re-trigger, for example total quantity? Any suggestions for a characteristic that can re-trigger the RS?
Message was edited by:
MdZ

Hi,
For RFQ Release strategy will be applicable only for Document type.No other characteristics will apply for that.
As RFQ don't have any specific table where the data is stored related to RFQ.
So we Use CEKKO which only identifies the document type of RFQ.
In your case in initial process while creating the RFQ release strategy is active.
What change you have made to the Released RFQ.

FMBB Budget Approval workflow is not triggered

Hi Experts,
I want to activate the standard workflow for Budget Approval in FMBB t-code. I found two standard workflow templates for this WS12300025 and WS12300026 and I activated it. In both workflow templates start event is maintained as 'BUS0050' 'PREPOSTEDDOCCREATED' .
But when I am creating Budget document in FMBB t-code, 'BUS0050' 'POSTEDDOCCREATED' is triggering , so the standard workflow is not triggering.
Then checked in forums, that we should maintain SPRO settings. I maintained the setting in SPRO.(Attachment 1).
After maintained this setting I am facing an error while creating Budget in FMBB t-code. (Attachment 2).
Kindly help me on this is urgent .
Thanks & Regards
Ayyappan.V

Ibrahim, The complete statement is:
If event linkage not activated it (Workflow Instance) will not get traced i.e. in T-Code SWI2_FREQ, thats the reason I have suggested to check error message in SWEL .
SWEL will always create entry whether linkage is activated or not, the only thing is trace should be on in T-Code SWELS. Hope things are clear now.

PAI is not triggered after I choose value in F4

Hello experts,
I fight with the following problem:
On my screen I use input field (ucf_s_coi_afd03_ct-xrproc_param) and I coded the F4 help for it manually
PROCESS ON VALUE-REQUEST.
FIELD ucf_s_coi_afd03_ct-xrproc_param
MODULE req_xrproc_param_2006.
After I press f4 on this field, the values are correctly listed but after I choose one value (double click), I would expect that the PAI is triggered but it is not. I have to press ENTER, only then.
Is there a way how to trigger the PAI after the value is chosen?
I found one way, but I don't want to use it:
If I change the input field into "List box" or "List box with key", then I can assign function code to it and if I do that, then it works - PAI is triggered after value is chosen. However, I don't want to use list box, I need standard input field.
Any ideas?
Regards,
Tomas

The original problem (or at least my orignal problem) which was solved by the SUPPRESS DIALOG was how to trigger my PAI validation - not the PBO though that of course follows on afterwards - immediately on selecting a value from a search help in order to carry out a further check on the value selected. I've used DYNP_VALUES_UPDATE in other situations, but it was not a suitable solution for me here.

PO change output not triggered after deletion of line item

Hello SAP experts,
I have one issue with PO output
I have created PO with output type & we are outputing through ME9F( 3- Send with application own transaction)
Below is the sequence,
1.PO created & outputed thru ME9F
2.Now ,i added the line item in the PO,Output triggred but not processed.
3.I deleted the line item immedietely,Output not triggered.
(My question is Why the output is not tiggered?)
4.I outputed it through ME9F,vendor will receive only 1st output & never get the 2nd o/p for the deletion of item.
I am clear that after processsing the 1st output,then only i can process the 2nd.
But in business point of view,this scene created the problem.
Please provide your valuable input.

Hi,
In IMG - Materials Management- Purchasing-Messages - Fields relevant to Print out of changes
Enter Table EKPO , Reference Field LOEKZ, tick on change print relevant for purchase order,in routine enter 03.
Now your Output will be triggered with a change indicator and you can process it using ME9F.

Approval Process to Apply to Updated Documents

Hi,
My customer has a problem with certain Sales Orders not going through the Approval Process. Users are circumnavigating the Approval Process in a sneaky way.
Let us say that we have a Sales Order with a value of £1000. On hitting Add, SAP asks the user to submit the Sales Order for approval.
If the user then clicks Cancel they return to the Sales Order entry form. If he then changes the Order value to a figure which does not fire the Approval Process (for example £0) the system allows the Order to be Added.
If the user then amends the Order back to the original £1000, he can Update the Order without firing the Approval Process. I found out how this was happening by looking at the History of a Sales Order and have recreated the issue locally.
I have found SAP Note Number 904373 - Approval Procedure not working on marketing documents. This note states that the above scenario is system behaviour.
Can this be changed so Updated documents will fire the approval process?
Thanks
Greig

Hi All,
Can we use the Request API to create the request (and then Approval) for other than ADD (object type like Disable, Enable etc) of a user like below
long lRequestKey;
long UserKey=1;
long ObjectKey=201; //testro1
HashMap reqMap = new HashMap();
reqMap.put("Requests.Target Type", "U");
reqMap.put("Requests.Object Request Type", "Disable");
reqMap.put("Requests.Type", "U");
lRequestKey = reqObj.createRequest(reqMap);
System.out.println("Created request and got key :" + lRequestKey);
reqObj.addRequestUser(lRequestKey, UserKey);
System.out.println("Added the request user");
reqObj.addRequestObject(lRequestKey, ObjectKey); // I am not sure if this part is right but without this it is giving me the error.
System.out.println("Added the request object");
reqObj.completeRequestCreation(lRequestKey);
System.out.println(Completed and submitted the request");
I gave it a try but the Resource detail is not getting populated in the request due to which request hang up in "Request Initialized" state. I tried by passing the Process Instance Key also but no luck.
Any chance if anyone crack it before. Please tell me. Thanks

DATA_CHANGED event handler is not triggered after input.(OO ALV)

Dear Experts,
What I did:
I register Enter as the trigger event for data_changed event, and I put my checking logic in data_changed_handler which is a method of a local class. When the checking fails, I put messages using er_data_changed->add_protocal_entry to show messages.
My checking is simple, if the cell is empty, error messages pops up tells that this cell can not be blank for this row.
My problem:
When there is no entry in the alv list(Only this situation), I insert a new entry, the cell which is required is empty, I press Enter, data_changed event is triggered, the message pops up saying that the cell is required. Then close the pop up message window, I input something in the cell, and press enter. The data_changed event is not triggered.
Is there any1 has any ideas on this problem?

Event to handle DocNo. automatic population after document was added

Hi,
I have created a UDF using SAP B1 Studio with visual studio 2010.Values can enter in form and it is successfully added to table. I am trying to show the DocumentNo. automatically once document got added to the table.
i.e., DocNo. textbox in form is empty once document got added.I have tried in Buttonclick after,Data Add after...Its not working.
In which event can we handle this?
Thanks in Advance,
Parvatha Solai.N

Hi Parvatha,
The DocNumber is finalised by SAP when you save the document.
Hence, you cannot save this number into your UDF at the same time.
This has to be a two step process.
On After Data Add event,
    1 get the DocEntry from the pVal.ObjectKey
    2 Call up the Doc using this object key and update your UDF
          Dim oDoc As SAPBobsCOM.Documents = oCompany.GetBusinessObject(yourDocObjType)
          oDoc.GetByKey(DocEntry)
          oDoc.UserFields.Fields.Item("UDF").Value = oDoc.DocNum
          oDoc.Update
On the other hand, why would you want to save the docnum in the user field ?
Regards
Edy

How To Automate OCR after documents are scanned?

I am using Acrobat 8 Professional
1. Is there a way to have Acrobat 8 Professional to automatically ocr after the documents are scanned?
2. Is there a way to create a buttom to ocr the scanned documents. Currently I have to go through: document>ocr text recognition>Pages options >OK
Any advice would be appreciated! Joe

I'm sure the javascript experts will be able to create a button that runs a script for your task, but have you considered using other OCR software (Finereader, ReadIris etc)? Corporate versions of these programs allow you to have a 'Watched Folder' where any file sent to the folder will automatically be OCRd with no user intervention.
Although the OCR quality may be no different to Acrobat's plug-in, there will also be far more in the way of options to view and edit the recognised text.
