Accept / Rejection Reasons for Shopping Cart Approval

Hi experts!
Our customer would like to have the following functionality.
During approval workflow the user will either Accept or Reject the shopping cart and at the same time he must enter a reason for approval / rejection from a list with fixed texts / values.
I didn't find any documentation about rejection reasons during approval of shopping cart. Has anybody of you ever seen this or realized anything like that?
If SAP Standard doesn't offer anything suitable we might have to modify the approver screen or develop a new screen.
Any helpful answer would be much appreciated.
Best regards,
Corinne

Hi
Please try this ->
Re: Make mandatory field-Reason for rejection notes-SC approval screen
Reason for Return Delivery missing
Re: Text Types Issue on Bid/Quote
Temporary GUID coming from Sourcing in Doc change badi
Reason for Return Delivery
inactive approval and reject buttons on shopping cart approval screen
Else Use BBP_DOC_CHECK_BADI
SC header level Reject- Display error message
Hope this will help. Do let me know.

FM for Shopping Cart Approve/Reject with comments

Hi,
I am looking for a FM for Approve/Reject a shopping cart/Work item ID with writing comments on Approve/Reject.
Thanks,
Fract

Hi Fract,
Yuo can change the status of shopping cart by using FM:
BBP_PD_SC_STATUS_CHANGE_WF
but adding commnets is not possible here.
You can try to copy this FM and then modify the parameters to add comments though.

Rejection case for Shopping Cart.

Hi Friends,
I am using SRM 7.0 SRM Server: SAPKIBKV09(service pack : 9)
My workflow is triggering to approver. In inbox of approver , if he rejects the Workitem, workflow is completed and Status is : Release Rejected. Is this workflow functionality?
Regarding the Process level configuration wise, i have these levels : 100(Approval),200(Approval),999(System User)
I feel , if it is rejected , it reaches to One person. How to do that ..Please give a idea.
Thanks in advance,
Balaji.T.

Hi,
Your process level decision type configuration is for "decision for Entire Document", if then System will automatically put the status to Rejected if any approver rejected the SC. in order to bring to SC back to requester when the approver reject the SC for accept change, you have to configure the "acceptance by contact person" in the process level..
Use the task id as 40007994 and create a custom event and custom expression with type of '0FB001' and put the below condition. now the SC will come back to requestor when the SC reject by approver.
0V_WF_CURRENT_DECISI = 'REJECTED'

Dead Line Monitoring for Shopping cart approval(SRM 7.0 Process controlled)

Hi Friends,
I am using SRM 7.0 Process controlled Workflow. I need to do below.
Dead Line Monitoring details are given below.
If the approval workitem is not addressed in 3 business days by Approver, the approver would get reminder email notification. If approval Workitem is not addressed in 5 business days by the approver, then an email notification is sent to requester,approver and the workflow administrator.
How to obtain this. Please help me.
Thanks,
Balaji.T.

Hi Masa,
Thank you for your input.
You mean, shall we use BADI BBP_ALERTING for deadline monitoring.?
Infact, i have used
SRM Server->Cross-Application Basic Settings=>Event and Event Schema for Alert Management->Define Event Schema
In that i specified
WF_COMPL_LATEST_END->Message(low)->APPROVAL_DEADL_NOTIFIC_NEW : 24 hours.
But it is not triggering for dead line Monitoring(24 hours Later).
If any body faces this same problem, Please let me know.
Thanks,
Balaji.T.

Process Controlled Workflow - 1-step approval for shopping cart approval

Hi,
I have configured a one-level approval for SC (Process Controlled Workflow):
Object Type: BUS2121
Additional 1 level under schema: 3C_SC_600_000 (the last level is the automatic approval)
Level Type: Approval with completion
Eval ID: 0EV_SC_SL1
RR Name: RR_SPENDING_LIMIT_APPROVER
RR Param: USTONY.Y (I hardcoded it using my user ID, for the moment)
Task ID: 40007953 (I have checked, it's generalized as well)
Decision Type: Item-based decision for entire document
For PPOMA_BBP:
Under my org unit (Position):
Approval Limit: 1000
Output Limit: 1000
I didn't do any BADI implementations yet.
During creation of SC by other user, before "Order" the SC, the approval preview can show correctly that the Processor is as indicated in the config.
Once the SC is ordered, the whole step is gone and the event linkage becoming delinked (because there is error, and according to the config in SWEQADM).
However, I cannot find the workitem (no workitem generated) and SLG1 does not give any clue whatsoever.
I tried debugging method APPROVAL_LIMIT, and it seems fine as well.
Please help, what did I do wrong here?
Thanks,
Tony Y

Hi Sahil,
I even changed to first process level to:
Level Type: Approval
Eval ID: 0EV000
RR Name: RR_MANAGER
RR Param: (Blank)
Task ID: 40007953 (I have checked, it's generalized as well)
Decision Type: Decision for entire document
Under PPOMA_BBP:
I made myself as a head of the org unit with the role manager.
The requester is "Exclude" the role manager.
The agent can be determined now.
But the workitem ID is still cannot be generated. It's always no workitem generated.
Please everyone, any help?
Thanks in advance,
Tony

Wrong approver for shopping cart

Hi Friends,
I've found something very strange in my SRM system for Shopping cart approveal process.
One of my SC is waiting for approaval by a approver who is assigned to different plant and he has got nothing to do with this SC.
The SC's basic data contains the responsibility of some other LPR group for which approver is different and he is the actual approver of this SC.
Can you guys provide some link where i can find documents related to approval process in detail and also the organisation structure material as i am new to SRM..? after providing the solution for above querry...
Thanks in advance
ss

Hi Volkoale,
I am also facing the same issue. If you have resolved it kindly post your approach as it will be helpful to the community.
In my case, there is one cutomized table that contains list of approvers, but I am yet to debug and find the source of data for this table. Your reply will be rewarded.
Cheers,
Kris

Process Controlled WF for Shopping Cart

Hi,
We have implemented process controlled workflow for shopping cart approval.
1. Created a bespoke schema for the approval process
2. Defined 5 process levels in the schema
3. changed the BRF event at the schema evaluation level. It now
contains a constant with the name of new schema create in step 1.
4. Decision set used is item based approval for partial documents (Type 4)
4. The first process level is get the technical approval from bespoke
table based on material group. For that we have first created a
Responsibility Resolver Name - ZTECHNICAL_APPROVER.
We have implemented the BADI - /SAPSRM/BD_WF_RESP_RESOLVER. Assigned
the filter as BUS2121 and ZTECHNICAL_APPROVER.
5. Now we have placed the external debugger in BADi. when we create
the shopping cart the flow doesn't stop at the break point. The item
reaches to the last step of Automatic approval (Rejected).
6. We think that schema is getting evaluated, however the process
level is not getting called.
7. Before we created schema, all the carts wer getting "Approved" by
automatic step. In our schema the automatic step is "Rejected", hence
the carts are getting rejected.
Could you please let me know what could be reason for BADI
implementation not being called or is there any config step which we
are missing?

Hi,
I think your process level evaluation id is not true, that is the reason system skips the process level.. Can you check your evaluation event-expression code. What do you see in SLG1? For testing purpose change the evaluation id to 0EV000 and check. Make Sure you debug through the user(requester) that you are creating the SC. Please test and let me know...

Shopping Cart Approval & PO generation

Hi All,
I am using N step BADI for Shopping Cart approval process. Here can we generate the PO even when the Shopping Cart is awaiting Approval.
Please let me know how POs can be created without any approval necessary?
This is Urgent!!!
Thanks,
San

Hi,
Yes this needs to be active.
This is the job which updates the item overview status from awaiting approval to approved.
We had a similar issue for one step workflow for SC where becos of this the SC's were showing awaiting approval though the approver activity is completed.
Refer OSS note 790027 which says that after all configs the status is updated by background jobs. This is the one which is explained in it.
Go to SWU3 and verify all green tick marks "Schedule background job for event queue" is the with this job. Execute it and you can display the job from here.

Sridhar.

Problems with Auto approval workflow (WS 10000060) for shopping carts

Hi SAP Network community,
I have got a problem with the auto approval workflow for shopping carts.
Basically the workflow approves the shopping cart once it was created.
But then the related Purchase Order remains in Status held. If the PO gets ordered manually then it is not transferred to the R/3 backend system.
For testing purposes also the one step approval workflow was activated. If the shopping cart gets approved by clicking into the detail approval screen (not by approving through the green tick box in the shopping cart overview) then the PO gets ordered and transferred to the backend system as normal.
But if the shopping cart gets approved by using the green tick box in the shopping cart overview then the same problem occurs as described for the auto approval workflow.
The system version is SRM 4.00
Did anybody have the same or similar problems with the auto approval workflow and what could be the reason for this problems.
Thanks in advance,
Robert

Shopping Cart approval process in SRM using Black Berry

Hi,
I am very new to SRM. Here the user wants the whole approval/rejection process of shopping cart should be done via the Black Berry.
When a shopping cart is created in SRM then automatically a mail should appear in this mail box(outlook or lotus) as well as in the black berry mail box, so from black berry the user will accept/reject the shopping cart.
What workflow should be used? for mailing to outlook as well as in the blackberry whether we should implement any BAdI and also for integrating SRM & black berry whether we require any plug-in or configuration to be done..
Please do the needful..
Thanks and Regards,
Chandra Sekhar

Hi,
pl. read this:
Mobile Enterprise Buyer
Use
Users can log on to the Enterprise Buyer system using a WAP-enabled cellular phone or any other WAP-enabled front end. This allows them to perform many procurement tasks completely independently of any docking station. These mobile applications are part of the standard system setup for Enterprise Buyer.
Managers can approve shopping carts while on business trips far away from the office.
The start URL for the mobile scenarios is:
http://.:/scripts/wgate/wapbbpstart/!?~language=
where <language> = de or <language> = en, for example.
The initial screen is displayed in the relevant language.
Integration
You can either use your own WAP gateway or you can use a WAP gateway service from a telecommunications provider. If you have your own gateway, you can position it behind your firewall. This means that communication is via a dialup line as far as the WAP gateway, that is, a secure connection going behind the firewall. Beyond this point, communication is via HTTP. If you are using a WAP gateway service, the dialup line stops outside your firewall with the less secure HTTP communication starting outside the firewall.
The graphic shows a standard configuration with a WAP gateway located behind the firewall.
Prerequisites
You require the following:
WAP-enabled mobile device
WAP gateway
WML-enabled catalog that supports OCI
You have configured your Web server to handle the MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) types required for WAP. These are as follows:
File extension
MIME type
Wml
text/vnd.wap.wml
Wmlc
Application/vnd.wap.wmlc
Wmls
text/vnd.wap.wmlscript
Wmlsc
Application/vnd.wap.wmlscriptc
Wbmp
image/vnd.wap.wbmp
If you have your own Web server, you define the MIME types using the Web server's administration tools. In Microsoft IIS, you have to enter the types on the Properties page of your site on the tab card HTTP Headers. If you are not using your own Web server, inform the administrator or provider running the Web server.
Features
The following functions are available:
Create new shopping cart
Users can:
Select catalogs using input help
View catalogs (by product group)
Search for products in catalogs (full text)
Display item details
Add items to shopping carts
Delete items from shopping carts
Change item quantities
Delete shopping carts
Order shopping carts
When a shopping cart is ordered, an order confirmation is displayed giving the shopping cart name and the total value of the shopping cart.
Status check
Users can:
Display overview of shopping carts (shopping cart name and status)
Display header data for shopping carts (for example, shopping cart name and date of last change)
Inbox
Users can:
Display overview of work items (only shopping cart approval) and messages
Display detail view of messages (sender and full short text)
Display detail view of work items (full short text only)
Managers can approve or reject shopping carts
Managers can only approve or reject complete shopping carts. Approval and rejection at item level is not possible.
Reporting
Managers can display the most recent purchase orders created for their cost center(s).

it alwayz throws up the error SC/ Local Error..
: Error during determn of backend follow-on doc. for shopping cart 0010000103 / 0000000001....
we just started debugging from the web by breaking it at META_BAPI_DISPATCH and still looking into it..

could you forward me any OSS notes if any regarding this issue..

Deputy for Shopping Cart Initiator

Hello SRM experts,
the deputy functionality currently implemented only allows the deputy to see the person's worklist.
Since shopping cart is an ITS functionality, when the initiator of the shopping cart is on leave, and if during this time shopping cart is rejected it goes back to the initiator.
But the deputy has no means to access these shopping carts rejected and waiting in the initiators shopping cart inbox, where he can see using the check status functionality of the shopping cart.
We are running: SAP ECC 6.0 Kernel 700 with SRM Addon via ITS on the portal.
Is there a way to share the shopping cart entries with the deputy?
Thanks
Murat

Issue in Shopping cart approval preview

Hi all,
We are working on SRM7.0. We got an issue here.
A shopping cart is created and approved by the approvers.
When we go to the approval preview, we are unable to see the approvers and getting encountered with following errors:
(Errors indicated in bold)
>Cannot get process info; function BBP_PDH_WFL_APPROVAL_SIMULATE throws exception workflw not found.
>PDO Layer error
Also we can see a warning as:
(Warnings in italic)
>Approval process view cannot refreshed due to error in document.
Pleaseprovide your valuable inputs in solving the issue.
Thanks in advance,
Vishal..

Hello Vishal,
I advise you to check OSS note 1422084 - Approval preview gives error message for rejected QTE.
Even if it is for rejected Quotation (and not for Shopping Cart), error message is the same as yours.

Issue in Process Controlled workflow for Shopping cart in Quality system.

Hello All,
I ahve configured a Process controlled workflow in SRM 7.0 with custom resolver, and I am facing an issue taht the Workflow works well in Development but in Quality the approvers are dropped after SC is ordered in Quality system.
The SC Workflow drops the approvers picked up from the Interface method /SAPSRM/IF_EX_WF_RESP_RESOLVERGET_AREA_TO_ITEM_MAP and IF_EX_WF_RESP_RESOLVERGET_APPROVERS_BY_AREA_GUID of BADI /SAPSRM/BD_WF_RESP_RESOLVER. The approvers can be seen in the shopping cart Approval preview Tab until the SC is ordered.
I have compared the OSS notes relevant for Workflow, all of them have been transported, Also I compared and checked general Workflow settings, BRF Config and Process level settings in Dev and Quality, everything is same.
Also while debugging; the approvers can be seen in the decision set table in the create_process_forecast method of class /SAPSRM/CL_WF_PROCESS_MANAGER.
Kindly let me know what else i can check to find the root cause.
Thank you in advance for help!
Regards
Prasuna.

Hello Vinita;
Thanks for the input and sorry for the not so "ASAP" reply;
From what I'm seeing in from your 2 screenshot, i strongly believe that the problem is even before the Z implementation /SAPSRM/IF_EX_WF_RESP_RESOLVER~GET_APPROVERS_BY_AREA_GUID (in which the FM i ZSRM_GET_USER_FROM_PGRP is called. I think the problem could be in the process level determination ZSRM_WF_BRF_0EXP000_SC_APP100. Let me explain:
In your cases where not buyer is determined, in the approval tab there is not even a process level for buyer approval. If the problem were indeed in the implementation /SAPSRM/IF_EX_WF_RESP_RESOLVER~GET_APPROVERS_BY_AREA_GUID then the process level would be there, but the system will display, instead of the name of the buyer(if the buyer determination fails) a red label with the message: "With the strategy "Buyer determination" an approver could not be determined (or something like that..please check the image at the end of the text)".
I can propose a way to discard this: Implement the method /SAPSRM/IF_EX_WF_RESP_RESOLVER~GET_FALLBACK_AGENTS of class ZCL_BADI_SC_WC (in case you didn't know, in this method you can specify an "default" approver in case that the determination of approver in GET_APPROVERS_BY_AREA_GUID fails). The idea is to specify an default approval and see how it behaves:
If the user you indicated in the method GET_FALLBACK_AGENTS appears as approver, then yes, the problem is arises from implementation GET_APPROVERS_BY_AREA_GUID, in which case it could be a data problem (peharps in pposa_bbp?). You could also check in TX SU53 with the users with this problem to see if there's a missing authorization objetc.
If, in the other hand, the "default" approver is not shown, it means that the process level buyer determination is not even called, so you should check in more detail ZSRM_WF_BRF_0EXP000_SC_APP100 and /SAPSRM/CL_WF_PROCESS_MANAGER > Determine process restart –method ----- (i have never used this method, so i could not tell if it could be the source of the problem).
Also, you could implement the method GET_FALLBACK_AGENTS in this way so the default approver would be the WF administrator indicated in the customizing (or you could just append directly any user you want):
METHOD /SAPSRM/IF_EX_WF_RESP_RESOLVER~GET_FALLBACK_AGENTS.
   DATA: lv_admin_expr TYPE swd_shead-admin_expr,
         lv_admin      TYPE swd_shead-wfi_admin,
         lv_admin_type TYPE sy-input,
         ls_agent      TYPE /sapsrm/s_wf_approver.
   CALL FUNCTION 'SWD_WF_DEFINITION_ADMIN_GET'
     IMPORTING
       default_admin_expr = lv_admin_expr
       default_admin      = lv_admin
       default_admin_type = lv_admin_type.
   ls_agent-approver_id = lv_admin.
   APPEND ls_agent TO rt_agent.
ENDMETHOD.
Error of agent determination:
Please let me know the result of the test with the implementation of method GET_FALLBACK_AGENT. By doing this we could ensure if really the problem is in method GET_APPROVERS_BY_AREA_GUID or before. I just made the test in our system and I'm almost sure that you wont get the default approver, but i could be wrong.
Any question please let me know.
Best regards
Cristian R.
