Ad hoc approval request in workflow

Hi experts,
Ad hoc approval request in workflow ,user should forward work item multiple times for different users . Ad hoc approval multiple times to the same or different employees. Could you please provide me steps by steps how I need to create ad hoc .

Hello Ganesh !
                Hope you want to define ad hoc agent agent assignment.
               If so, choose the activity step(the task's work item that you want to send) in workflow and from the menu take path : Extras -> Ad_hoc functions -> Enable the Adhoc Agent Assignment.
               In expression part , now you can find &Agent_0001.Agents& have automatically appeared.The one who want to start the workflow,can mention the SAP logon id of the agents to whom the work items needs to be sent.

AD-hoc approver n step item level shopping cart workflow

Hi
We are on latest version of SRM and using n step item level SC approval workflow.
The scenario goes like this:
-     Requester creates shopping cart and workflow goes for two step approval.
-     In the approval preview the requester is able to see both levels of approvers, which is correct.
-     Requester now selects second level approver and replaces him with a ad-hoc approver. WE DO NOT WANT THIS. Requester should NOT be able to replace an approver determined by approval badi. However should be able to extend approval step with ad-hoc approver say third level approver a ad-hoc approver. Also he should be able to change AD-HOC approvers ONLY.
Thanks
Joe

Jo,
You may be able to achieve it in the BADI BBP_WFL_SECUR_BADI .
You can use the Business Add-In (BAdI) BBP_WFL_SECUR_BADI to determine whether
A shopping cart can be changed during the approval process
The approval workflow restarts when changes are made to the document
A reviewer/approver can be added or changedThese are the call scenarios (see import parameter SCENARIO).

ESS leave request workflow : not able to approve request

Hi experts,
When i create leave request, work item for approving request is not coming in the approver's bussiness workplace. I am using std workflow WS12300111. Is there any customization needs to be done ??
please help me
Pointes will be rewarded
Regards,
Sameer

Hi Samee,
Did you select General Task in the steps of workflow you have an agent?
Sónia
You have a chief position on the Organization Unit where you have the employees?
Sometimes it's possible to forget this one:
Transaction SWDD, select the workflow WS12300111 and press CTRL+F8 (Basic Data)
there's another button "Agent assignment for task" (SHIFT+F9)
set task to "General task" with the "Attributes..." Button. (EVERY user can start this task).
And check this to:
Using transaction SWFVISU, check the following entries and correct these where required:
TS12300097 Java WebDynpro APPLICATION LeaveRequestApprover
                 PACKAGE sap.com/ess~lea
TS12300116 Java WebDynpro
                 APPLICATION LeaveRequest
                 PACKAGE sap.com/ess~lea
(check this, because usually you have an error, instead of sap.com you have com.sap)
Register the work items again. Additional information about registering work items is available in the UWL documentation.
After re-register the System Alias again in the UWL - THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT

Travel Request Approval Scenario via Workflow does not trigger

Hi guys,
System Information: SAP ECC 6.0 EHP4 / Using WDA-Scenarios on Portal NW 7.01.
I'm having trouble understanding/implementing the approval scenario of the Travel Request via Workflow/UWL. POWL isn't usable for us as it isn't flexible enough to process the complex agent assignment rules for the respective approver our (momentarily..) requirements 'dictate' ...
What I did so far:
I copied the Workflow Template 200000040 to a custom template (since I'll have to alter it) and activated the Event of Creation for BUS2089. Thus, in SWE2, the respective entry for BUS2089 for the event CREATED has been set by the system. All good so far. When I create a TRIP via PR05 (we are public sector), the event for BUS2089 gets fired in SAPMP56T and the Workflow gets triggered; works out well. However, when I post a travel request in Portal (FITE_REQUEST), the workflow is not getting triggered. I searched for information or similar questions on the forum but didn't find anything. Neither did I find a concrete clue in the View Containers FITE_VC_* etc..
Could anyone assist me with this? I'm sure I'm missing something very basic here.... -_-
Bottom line:
Why is my workflow not getting triggered from creating travel requests via FITE_REQUEST?
Cheers, Lukas

SWE2 linkage is activated for my Workflow number (I didn't do it by hand, it's set by the system since I activated the event in my workflowtemplate --> this way actually no inconsistencies can happen).
SWDD Tests are successful and the Workflow is working well in general. That's why I pointed out in my previous post that the process is working fine when initiated via PR05.
EDIT: Or maybe somebody knows the part in coding FITV_FPM/FITE_VC* where the workflow should be triggered? It's freaking unfindable, I've been debugging for hours. >:-(
EDIT: Debugged the entire WDA Frmaework for like five hours...feeling dead inside...someone please tell me from where the workflow gets triggered when saving travel request from portal -_-....

Unable to run extended Approve Requests Application from Launchpad

We are implementing the approve request application for custom workflows and we have set up our eclipse environment and made the necessary changes to run our application locally in the Fiori Sandbox provided as part of the UI5 toolkit. We have extended the application by creating an extension project and fiori extensions in this extension project.
We are able to run this extended application also in the Sandbox and test it there.
When we upload the extended application to the ABAP server and change the URL in the Launchpad transaction LPD_CUST to point to the extended application we are getting an error.
I suspect it is related to how we have set up our component.js file for the extended application since it is responsible for merging the extended application with the parent one at runtime and displaying the extended application.
The error I am getting in the console is
Error - found in negative cache: 'cross/fnd/approve/requests/Component.js' from /sap/bc/ui5_ui5/sap/yca_all_apve/Component.js: TypeError: Cannot call method 'extend' of undefined core.js:78

CUP 5.3 (SP11) Risk Owner Approval in CUP workflow

Hello Experts,
I have a question...
When you create a risk in RAR, is there any way you can send an approval request automatically to a Risk Owner already set in RAR?
Unfortunately, there is no such option for risk in the CUP custom approver determinator.
We want to set risk owners different from business process owners,* and risk owners are the ones responsible for risk approval.
*We don't want to set the "business process" as an approver determinator.
I would appreciate your advice.
HM

When you create a risk in RAR, is there any way you can send an approval request *automatically* to a Risk Owner already set in RAR?
- CUP (Page 19/33)?
Unfortunately, there is no such option for risk in the CUP custom approver determinator.
There is - Request Type - Attribute

Fiori : Approve Requests Comment/Attachment showing 0

Hi All,
I am using Fiori Generic Approve all (Fiori Approve Requests app) old version aka wave 1. I know I am using old UI but this was implemented long back and now the defect is raised.
UI component : UIGIB001 SP05
Issue is my approve/reject comments are not going to second level in Fiori. But comments are getting updated in the backend (SAP inbox -SBWP) . Could someone please help on whether this would require any UI note implementation or I am missing something ?
Screenshot below :
Also when i post comments from first level. I see this error in Inspect element :
sap/opu/odata/IWPGW/TASKPROCESSING;o=SAP_ERP_PGW/Decision?SAP__Origin=%27SAP_ERP_PGW%27&InstanceID=%27000000703260%27&DecisionKey=%270001%27&Comments=%27rejected%27
Regards,

Hi Tejas,
I guess the issue is in workflow template side. Please check the container biding and make sure attachment element is binded from flow container to task container.

ESS Leave Request - Set Workflow status to Completed

Hi,
We are on ECC 5.0 and we are using ESS to process Leave Requests. We have a custom Workflow based on the standard Workflow template WS12300111 for approval of Leave Requests.
Whenever an employee creates a Leave Request via ESS the Workflow is started. When the employee deletes the request the Workflow has to be stopped/completed. For this we have put a Wait for Event step in a parallel branch to the Approval Process. In the Wait for Event step we wait till a condition ( Request.status = DELETED ) is met.
But when an employee deletes a Leave Request the request is deleted from the list but it gives a message as "Specify a class name".
Can anybody please help us on this( how to complete the workflow whenever the Request is deleted ) and let us know what is the procedure to do this.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Immanuel

Hi Prashanth
Thanks for your quick reply. But that would not solve my problem. My Workflow looks something like this
                           WF-started by entries in configuration tables
                         Some activity in background
                     A fork with 2 parallel processes
                    Approval     Wait for an exception condition using Wait for event step
                      process          (wait till an attribute of a object has a specific value)
                          Workflow completed
The wait step waits for the status of the object to change to DELETED. The Workflow should get completed either if the Approval process is over or the condition specified in the Wait step is satisfied.
But in the case of ESS Leave Request this doesn't work. Is there anything that we need to do to set the status of the Workflow to Completed if the Leave Request is deleted.
Thanks
Immanuel

Fiori Approve Requests App

Hi,
few questions about SAP Fiori Approve Requests App:
As I understood so far this App is the mobile way to see tasks like in the UWL. Am I right?
And is SLC supported? Can we see task out of SLC?
Thank you

Hi Ozlem,
SAP Fiori Approve Requests app can handle any workitems which are handled in SAP Business Workflow Engine on any ABAP systems.

Error in RAR while approving request from CUP

Dear GRC Gurus,
I am getting error while approving request in CUP for RAR. Checked the related threads for this issue but still not getting any solution.
Connectors are working fine. Also web service URL is maintained correctly and password for the same is working fine in backend.
Error message is
Risk analysis failed: Exception in getting the results from the web service : Service call exception; nested exception is: java.rmi.RemoteException:
Pl help.
Regards,
Muskaan

Hi ,
You need to clarify what you are trying to do, type of request, timeout time, moment it fails...
If you are referring to the RAR SOD web-service call from CUP, the timeout defined may be too short, problems on the web service/backend connectors configuration or performance/resources available. I advise you to see the SAP Notes below.
Troubleshoot issues with risk analysis, see the SAP Notes 1136379, 1049058, 1145700, 1234807, 1085586, 1061088, 1003239, and 1166368.
This is the most common issue between CUP and RAR when running the SOD analysis, and some times the only solution is to improve the performance of the server with more memory/processor.

How to get details of Pending Approval request in OIM 11g R2?

Hi,
We need to find out following details from Pending Approval Request in OIM 11g R2 -
Request ID,Assignees,Requested Resource Name, Title of Request, Beneficiary, Status of Request.
Out of above attributes we could find out Assignees, Title of Request, Status of Request, Beneficiary, etc. But we are not getting Request ID and Requested Resource Name.
We have used API - 'IworkflowServiceClient'
If we use API - 'RequestService' then we are not getting Assignees and Resource name from Pending approval request.
Can any one suggeste how can we get these details? Do we need to use other API or other alternative to get all of attributes from Pending Approval Request.
Thanks.

Thanks Kevin for your suggestion.
In OIM 11g R2 I tried task.getIdentificationKey() to get Request ID and task.getSystemMessageAttributes().getTextAttribute6() to get requested resource name but I am getting null values out of it. Is there something I am missing?
Which common thing I can use to retrieve data from both OIM and SOAINFRA? As I am not getting Request ID from 'IworkflowServiceClient' API so I could not use it to earch request in OIM using 'RequestService'. Even if I have to use query what will be common thing I can use to fetch data from both tablespaces?
Thanks.

GRC AC 10 Show approved requests in work inbox

Hello,
Is it possible to show approved requests in work inbox?
Denis.

Hi Victor,
No, there are no such tables which could give the relations between the ARM requests and the corresponding violations.
You have only one option; like Neeraj suggested, run the reports for this need.

N level-Approval for contract workflow (WS14000148) in SRM

Hi SDN'rs
I want to activate N level-Approval for contract workflow (WS14000148) in SRM
When I am creating the contract in SRM I can see the approvers in the approval preview.
But when I release the contract and look at the approval privew there are no approvers
and the status of the contract is released.
We are on SRM Server 5.5 and SP 07.
Here what I did
1. I implemented the BADI 'BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI' using the sample implementation and populated the approvers.
2. I activated events SAVED,CHANGEVERSIONSAVED for WS14000148 in OOCU transaction.
3. I see event linkages for WS14000148 for both events SAVED,CHANGEVERSIONSAVED in SWE2 transaction.
4. I assigned role SAP_EC_BBP_PURCHASER to for subworkflow N step for contract WS14000147.
( User who is creating contract has this role)
5. Consistency check for WS14000148 is green and WS14000147 is yellow in SWUD
6. Event simulation for BUS2000113 and events SAVED,CHANGEVERSIONSAVED shows WS14000148 successfully started.
I see dump in ST22 with errors TSV_TNEW_PAGE_ALLOC_FAILED and SYSTEM_NO_SHM_MEMORY with WF-BATCH is this any thing to do with that?
If any one know what are the steps I am missing please let me know.
Thanks
