Activating conditions for Purchase Order workflows in EBP

Dear SRMer's,
I am facing the following problem:
System Info :SRM Server 5.5, ECC 6.0
Scenario 1:
All start conditions for Purchase Order in SAP Business Workflow are activated.
I created a direct procurement shopping cart (DP) in SRM browser and ordered it, then I logged in as proffessional purchaser, changed the Price and processed the DP PO.
When Ordering, the follow on Documents are created, but says the PO is waiting for approval. When I check for this PO in the Backend R/3 system in the Me22n (Display PO changes), I don't see the PO.
Scenario 2:
All Start conditions for Purchase Order in SAP Business Workflow are de-activated
I created another direct procurement shopping cart (DP2) in SRM browser and ordered it, then I logged in as proffessional purchaser, changed the Price and processed the DP2 PO (Status is held).
When Ordering, I get the Warning message, no workflow found, contact system administrator.
Please advice what needs to be configured for the PO to be ordered successfully.
Thanks in advance
Raj

Hi,
In your scenario 1, if system is saying that there the PO has to be approved, it means that you have managed the user that will receive the workitem..
Activating all PO WF is not a solution as in standard there are two many cases activated (amount, role, limit...)
I propose you to first activate only the 0 step WF and to overwrite the code inside
Just code that every PO modification should trigger O step WF thus it will be more simple to test it.
Later on, if you want to implement more complex starting conditions, you just have to modify the WF content...
Kind regards,
Yann

Starting Conditions for Purchase Order WF

Hi all,
We have developed a Workflow (Process-Controlled Workflow) for SRM Purchase Order. The requirement we have is that if the PO is released and then changed, only the WF should start again if the amount is changed. Any other field change in the PO should not trigger WF again.
There is customizing to define which fields should trigger WF for Shopping Cart, but I don´t found this for Purchase Order:
PRO--> SRM server --> sourcing--> Define Fields in Shopping Cart Which Trigger Workflow
Any suggestions?
Many thanks,
Ezequiel

Invalidate condition for purchase order

Hello,
we have a manual condition which we used in purchase orders (FRA2) which shouldn't be used anymore. Accidently from time to time it's still getting entered which results in wrong postings.
Is there a way (e. g. valid date, ...) to forbid the use of an condition in new purchase orders? (customizing, somewhere else?).
I don't want to delete it as it's still in use in some old PO's... (if it's possible to delete - don't have a clue).
Thanks in advance.
BR,
Hansi

Hello Hansi,
Thanks for your feedback..
Yes you can prohibit through:
Goto MEK2 transaction -> Slect the Matrial Inforecord -> enter the required details
Line item level you have option of Validity to - give the back date.
One more thing: SPRO -> Define condtion type (we have option) -> Master Data tab -> Valid From and Valid to option.
Please check this option also. i have not tried this..

We customized a new pricing condition (absolute discount), which we want to use in a purchase order and added it to the calculation schema.
condition type:
Application     BBP
Source system LOCAL
Usage           PR
Condition Type ZRBT
Access Seq.     01CT
Condition class       discount
Calculat. Type    fixed amount
Condit.category
Rounding rule commercial
manual has priority
item level
delete
amount/percent
UoM
Scale Base Type   quantity
Check stat             none
Max. No. Dimens    no scales
We see the condition type and can choose it in the transaction which is used to create a po.
But when we choose it from the drop-down box it isn't added to the calculation.

WORKFLOW FOR PO RELEASE PROCEDURE
Steps involved are :
1) SPRO > MM > Purchasing > Purchase Order > Release Procedure for Purchase Orders > Define Release Procedure for Purchase Orders > Release Codes > here assign Workflow indicator as "1" against each Release Code
2) SPRO > MM > Purchasing > Purchase Order > Release Procedure for Purchase Orders > Define Release Procedure for Purchase Orders > Workflow > Here against each release code assign OT as US and respective User ID's for Release Codes.
3) Go to OOCU > here under MM, go to MM-PUR,
4) Click on "activate event linking"
5) Go for "WS 20000075" and for BUS2012 RELEASESTEPCREATED, click on Detailed view button. Activate "Event linkage activated" and also activate "Enable usage of event queue"
and Save.
6) Click on "Assign agents" and proceed all above steps.
BUS2012 is the relevant business object and Releasestep created is the event for the same.
7) Check SWETYPV transaction for the WF you have activated for BUS2012 and confirm.
Test the same by creating a PO and check the SBWP for SAP Mail of respective Users

Purchase order workflow generating mails to invalid peron for one plant

Hi,
I have a situation, where the user is receiving workitem mails to approve to outlook, even though he is not an approver. This is the case with only one plant. One more point is even in non-PO workflow, he is receiving the woritem mail execution mails, and plant is same as in PO workflow. Can anyone explain, where I can find the plant and this user relation and how it is happening.

Hi,
Check wrong user ID assigned release code in basis side in authorization(SU01 & PFCG) and also check wrong user ID assigned release code to following path:
SPRO ---> MM -> Purchasing- > Purchase Order- > Release Procedure for Purchase Orders- > Define Release Procedure for Purchase Orders--- > Workflow ---> Here against each release code assign OT as US and respective User ID's for Release

Table name for purchase order delivery fields

Hi Gurus,
Can you please tell me the name of the tables and the joining condition for purchase order delivery details like Name, street , city, postal code, address detail and the joining condition?
Regards
MD. SAMY

Hi MD. SAMY,
1. Table EKPO has details lat line item level.
2. You must make a simple ABAP program in the infosets (or functional area) that contain a line "addrnumber = ekpo-adrnr" while addrnumber is ADRC table field.
3. Choose fields that you want in ADRC and put it into new fields (e.g. : DELI_NAME2 = adrc-name2., etc)
4. The new field attribute must be maintained in the infosets (in EXSTRA).
5. Now in the query you have those fields.

Creating workflow for purchase order release.

Hi friends
I want step by step detail about creation of workflow for purchase order release..
After release purchase order it will goes to the two level of approval..
after that the workflow should be completed...
how can i develope the workflow for that scenario..
Thanks
Gowrishankar

Hi Gowrishankar,
You can get step by step workflow for PO using standard workflow
Release of Purchase Order :WS20000075
And for two levels of approvals you have to configure in SPRO the path is
Purchase Order:
SPRO> Material Management->Purchasing->/Purchase order-->Release procedure ---> Procedure with classification ---> set up procedure with classification ---> double click on Release strategies and Workflow.
If you don't know about this configuration, you have to confirm with your MM consultant.
Thanks and Regards,
Prabhakar Dharmala

Purchase Order Workflow - getting de-activated

Hi All,
We have a Purchase Order workflow that has been working well for quiet some time now. Over this weekend, we installed Enhancement Packs 1 to 3 and in the midst of testing in QA, I have noticed that, each time a PO workflow gets triggered, it de-activates the workflow causing other instances of the workflow to not be triggered.
Each time, I have to go and re-activate the workflow.
Has anyone faced such an issue and if so, what did you do to prevent them occuring.
Thank you,
Satish

I think the person who is creating the PO do not have the Proper authorization hence this deactivating. This deactivating thing can be avoided by going to SWE2 and changing the Error on Feedback field to Do not change Linkage. I hope this will solve your issue. You can also try to find the event that have not triggered from Event Queue SWEQADM
Thanks
Arghadip
