PURCHASING DOCUMENT APPROVAL MANAGER SETUP 방법
=============================================
PURPOSE
PO approval을 하기 위한 PO document approval manager setup 방법을
익힌다.
Explanation
System Administrator의 Administer Concurrent Manager form을 이용하여
PO Document Approval Manager를 setup 한다.
-.Responsibility: System Administrator
Navigation: Concurrent -> Manager -> Administer
-.PO Document Approval Manager는 Concurrent Manager list에 나타나야만
한다. 만약 그렇지 않으면 LOV를 이용하여 PO Document Approval Manager를
이 List 위에 추가 해야 한다.
-.Processes를 추가하는데 이것은 Target processes는 database server + 1
보다 크거나 같아야 한다.
ex) Target Processes 갯수 = (Number of Processors on Server) + 1
-.Status column에서 manager is not running이라는 내용의 상태를 볼 수
있어야 한다.
-.등록한 PO Document Approval Manager start 하기
o.PO Document Approval Manager를 포함하는 Line을 선택
o.Activate button을 click
o.PO Document Approval Manager가 start 되어야 함
-.PO Document Approval Manager reactivate(bounce) 하기
o.PO Document Approval Manager를 포함하는 Line을 선택
o.Deactivate button을 click
o.Form을 닫고 다시 open
o.PO Document Approval Manager를 포함하는 Line을 선택
o.Activate button을 click
NOTE: 이 process가 실행되려면 internal manager가 반드시 running 중이어야
한다.만약 internal manager가 running 중이 않니면 DBA나 System
admin은 internal manager를 제일 먼저 restart 해야 한다.

Thanks Andy,
I have googled activating workflow approvals in SP2013. However the sites I have read, refer to activating a feature that is not there on my server. So not sure how I should be doing this.
I have spent days looking into this. Is there an article somewhere that explains how to do this.
I will read up on people picker, it looks a little more complicated than I think setting up a document approval should be.
I only want the approver to be 1 of about 10 people. Is there any way just to set a simple list to pick the approver from?

11I - PO DOCUMENT APPROVAL MANAGER FAIL 시의 기능 개선 사항.
====================================================
PURPOSE
PO Document Approval Manager Fail 시의 기능 개선 사항에 대한 검토.
Explanation
PO 를 승인하였으나 Status 가 In-Processs 인 경우가 발생할 수있다. 이런
경우는 보통 PO Document Approval Manager 가 정지되었거나, Workflow 에서
Error 가 발생한 경우가 일반적이다.
이런 경우의 처리 방법은 Workflow Sysadmin 권한으로 Login 하여 Retry 하거
나, wfretry.sql 을 수행하여 문제가 발생한 workflow 의 진행을 재시도 하
게 된다.
Procurement Family Pack F 에서는 이같은 재시도를 자동으로 수행하는 기능
이 추가되었으며 아래의 방법으로 설정할 수있다.
1) How to Implement This New Feature:
- Apply 11i.PRC_PF.F (Procurement Family Pack F) AND one-off
patch 1942091
- Procurement Family Packs G and higher
2) Technical Details:
a) Dodument manager 에 관련된 Error 를 처리하기 위하여 새로운
Purchasing Item Type 인 "POERROR" 이 추가되었다.
POERROR item type 에 대하여 아래의 workflow attribute 가 define 되었
으며 이 값들을 설정하여야 한다.
관련 Attribute 들은 아래와 같으며 Business 환경에 맞게 적절한 값으로
설정한다.
DOC_MGR_WAIT_RELATIVE_TIME Length of time, in minutes, processes
will have to wait before getting picked
again.
Default = 0
RETRY_COUNT Number of attempts to get document
manager for approval.
Default = 0
TIMEOUT_VALUE Length of time, in minutes, for
notification automatically close itself.
Default = 0
SYSADMIN_USER_NAME Application user (typically the System
Administrator) who can receive
notifications for document manager-
related errors in status 1 and 2.
YOU MUST DEFINE THIS MANUALLY TO A VALID
USERNAME.
b) POERROR item type 에 대하여 Workflow Background Processor 가 주기적으
로 수행되어야 한다.
document manager 에 대한 재시도 횟수는 아래의 요소에 의해 결정된다.
- Attribute DOC_MGR_WAIT_RELATIVE_TIME
- WorkFlow Background engine wait period
c) Approval mode 와 관계없이 POERROR 를 처리할 Workflow Background
process 가 수행되어야 하며, wait time 후에 해당 process를 재시도하게
된다. Background engine 이 start 되면 document approve 를 다시 시도하
게된다. User 는 status 1 와 2 errors 에 대해서는 Notification 을 받
지 않으며, status 3 error 는 User 에게 Notification 을 보내게 된다.
(Sysadmin 에게 발송되지 않음.)

Capture/Display Date & Time for Document Approval

Hi Gurus,
We are on SAP Enterprise Portals 7 SPS 15.
I have enabled Document Approval in one folder in a repository. The Document Approval works correctly; but I want to capture the date and time the document was approved at:
Option 1 (Preferred):
1. Click on "Details" from the "Context Menu" of the document.
2. Click on "Settings"=>"Approval" in the popup window.
Currently it only shows
<Step-Name> <Approver-Name> has approved
Desired:
<Step-Name> <Approver-Name> has approved on <Date-Time>
Option 2:
1. Approval Maintenance Report (under Content Management=>Reports=>Approval maintenance)
Your guidance is greatly appreciated and I promise points.
Thanks and regards,
Pratik

SCM Document Approval Process

Hi All,
I am facing issue with SCM document approval process. When I insert new Ad hoc approval path ,worklist is created for the Ad hoc approver but Notification email is not going.
Could some one has faced this type of issue before.
Please help to resolve this issue.
Thanks
Karthik

Make sure that the transaction used for this approval has the event AdHoc Insert configured and that the channel is set to Both instead of Worklist. Off course also a notification template must have been assigned to this AdHoc Insert event.

Workflow for Document Approval

Hi all,
I'm a newbie to SolMan and is trying to figure out how to implement a workflow for document approval. A similar question has probably been posted in the past, but I can't find a definite solution, only some hints.
Basically, what we're trying to achieve is the following:
When a document is uploaded using SOLAR02, and the creator of the document changes the status to ready for sign-off, we would like to trigger a workflow which will send an email to a couple of persons who are responsible to approve the document. We already implement the digital signature, we just want to add an automatic email notification to be sent to the approvers.
Based on my research, it seems that this is not supported by SolMan and hence we have to do a custom development.
There's an object key called SOLMANDOC and we should raise an event (something like SIGNATURE_PROCESS_START) to send an email notification to the approvers. Can somebody confirm whether my understanding is right ? Does anybody know the name of the BADI that we can modify to achieve our goal ?
FYI, we're using SolMan Rel 7.01 SP 19.
Thanks in advance
Lara

Hi Phil,
I'm facing with problems with creating a simple 2 steps release strategy.
the problem is I cant approve the last step of the release.
This is what I did:
In spro Digital Signature->Signature strategy:
in "Define Authorization groups" I create this entries:
1. EING
2. VERIF
in "Define Individual Signatures" I create this entries:
1. S1   EING
2. S2   VERIF
in "Define Individual Strategies: I create this entries:
SigStrat: ZSIGSTR
Signature Method: R
Display comment: X Required
Display Remark: X
Display document: X
Verification: not checked
in "Assign individual signatures"
CtrIn Indiv.SIG.      AGrpDIG
1          S1               EING
2          S2               VERIF
Display Predecessor for Ctrln is 2 is 1
for "Display release statuses" an entry with one line with the value 1
and in "Display individual signatures there 2 entries 1 and 2.
in spro "Define Document status schemes"
stat scheme "ZSIGSTR"
4 status:
Status                 init status      Sequence    Low     High       lock         Signature schma End status         Cancel status
COPY_EDITING       X                  10           10       20          -
REVIEW                                     20           10        40        X                    ZSIGSTR         RELEASED    DECLINED
RELEASED                                30           10        40        X
DECLINED                                  40           10        20
I created two roles with object c_sign_bpr one with the value "EING"   and the other with the value "VERIF"
I assign this status scheme to a document type in my project.
I tried to release a document the first step was the author of the document move the status to "REVIEW" and I got a window that i need to enter my password and it worked ok.
The problem is in the second step that I need to release the document (now is in a REVIEW status) When I press on the icon in order to release I didn't get the option to release only to cancel there is no "V" option in the small window.
Can you please tell me if I did a correct customization? also can you tell me if my problem is maybe missing authorization? Can you direct me to reading material or to an example?
Best regards

ECM spent budget was clean up when approval manager reject an org unit?

Hi HR Experts,
When an approval manager rejects an org unit, the spent budget of this org unit is clean up but the budget still distributed to each employee in that org in the infotype 0759 therefore leads to inconsistency of budget in ECM.
Is there any body experience this issue?
Thanks,
Duy

i lived through this painful process very much, we made a quick SM30 tcode transaction to be able to do data maintenace on HRPADPM - this is where the budget spent amount is actually saved.
the key for this table is stored on the budget unit to org unit relationship in HRP1001.
if anyone has a better process to fix out sync spent budgets please let us know...

Approval Management/ Workflow in Appraisals

Hi All
I am implementing Approval Management in Appraisals functionality. Workflow process name is HR_APPRAISAL_DETAILS_JSP_PRC. Issue I am facing is in this workflow process it does not passivate any value.
If I want to manipulate some field in it like Feedback comments or some thing and base on which I will have to send the notification then it is not possible, as the values are not stored in database yet and neither in the hr_api_transaction_values table.
Can you pls tell how can I achieve this.
Regards
Gaurav

Hi,
My user want to use R/3 only for leave management section. we have no portal.
will this workflow would work fine in this case? if so how do i proceed to get it configured?
Thanks in Advance.

Document Approval Report

Hi,
Does anyone know if there is a report that will show the details of a document approval process? That is, I would like the report to show the date and time of the document when it went for approval (along with the last person that edited the document) and the date and time of each approval that took place (along with who). This will serve as an audit / approval log. I would like to use this to replace paper signatures.
Thanks,
Luke

Hi,
The report does not pick up the 'Waiting Approval' documents in the Collaboration Rooms. I tried leaving the location blank in hope of searching for all KM repositories. I even tried leaving the status to blank in hope of picking up all documents with an approval process.
Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks,
Luke

FICA Document Approval - CA_DOC, Workflow 21000088

Hi All,
I am using the standard Workflow 21000088 for FICA document approval for Posting using the Business Object CA_DOC.
I had maintained Event 5500 as well as Rule for Agent assignment using Rule - 21000056.
Now whenever any posting happens, An approval work Item is sent to Supervisor. But Nothing triggered after it is approved or Rejected.
Supervisor Double clicks on the Work Item and as per SAP documentation, if it approved, it should remove the Check reason from Document, if it is rejected, it must display Reverse transaction to reverse document. But these actions are not happening.
Anybody has any idea?
Thanks
Manas

Hello,
We have a similar workflow for approving doc postings (we made a copy of the SAP standard one) and it works fine.
Have you had a look at the workflow log? Try transaction SWI1 (for the relevant dates), find the workitem, and click on the 'scroll' icon.
Then you will be able to see where the workflow stopped and what the error is. Please tell me what it says.
cheers

Approval Process in SSHR using Approval Management

Could any one suggest for the below mentioned issue ?
I have set up the approval process using approval management. But when I tried to test the approval process in both the ways ('Create a test transaction' and 'View a real transaction's approval process), I am receiving different error messages.
1. if I test by using 'View a real transaction's approval process'
receiving the error message saying "ORA-20001: The attribute TRANSACTION_REQUESTOR_PERSON_ID probably has an invalid query string. The attribute caused the following exception:
-972
ORA-00972: identifier is too long"
2. if I test by using 'create a test creation' receiving error message as "ORA-20001: Casey Browning (Browning, Doctor Casey) lacks a supervisor, so OAM cannot complete the chain of authority for the transaction"
What am i missing in the setups ?
which way is the recommended way to test the process ?
Your response is more appreciated.
Regards
Jhansi

For you to test Approvals, you have to setup a number of things;
1. Supervisor Hierarchy (If using that as hierarchy)
2. Job Levels (If using Job-level approvals)
3. New rules for SSHR functions.
The getApprStartingPointPersonId function returns the starting point person ID for the transaction in the HR_API_TRANSACTIONS table. It uses that to traverse the supervisor hierarchy based on the approval.
Hope this helps.
