Add approval to bid: workflow WS14500027

Hi to all,
When i create a bidding in my system it stop waiting for authorization. When i go to authorization preview the message "No approver" it's show.
Where i can define the standard approvers of a bidding??
Thanks

Hi Masa,
Could you give a bit more clarification please.  We are running into the same issue and we see that the bid has been made but says "awaiting approval', but the approval preview says "approved".  Is there a workflow behind this event?  I do not recall activating a workflow for this. 
So is what you are saying is that the person who created the bid invitation should have a user flagged as a manager in the organiation structure and that user will be the one to approve the bid???  Please clarify and thanks in advance for your help!
Also another quick question is the approved bid able to create a shopping cart or does it have to be a local purchase order or contract?
Regards,
-Paul

  • SRM 7.0 'Add Approver' button disabled after rejection

    Hi Experts,
    I'm working on SRM 7.0(BRF) RFx workflow. I have configured the process level schema and the acceptance by contact person in customizing. When any of the approver rejects the document, it comes back to the creator which is right. But i see the 'Add Approver' button as disabled. But while creating a new document it is showing the 'Add Approver' button, only after rejection, the creator is seeing the button as disabled. Is it the standard behaviour in SRM7.0 ?
    Can you guys share your thoughts on this..
    Thanks

  • Add approver when the SC is in Awaiting approval

    Hi SDN,
    we are using SRM 5.5 system.
    When the SC is created the in the BADI - BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI we are finding the manger of the user and sending workflow to that mangaer.
    Up to this eery thing is working fine.
    But when the SC creater wants to chnage the Approver name in Approver Preview (Add approver) when the SC is in Awaiting approval.
    System is allowing us to add APprover here but when i Save the SC system calling the BADI BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI and over righting that manger name with the original manger not with added manger.
    Please let me know.
    Thanks
    Naresh

    Can any one know where can i get the added approver details before saving the shopping cart
    that mean at run time.

  • 'Add Approver' is inactive for SRM contracts

    Dear colleagues,
    We have deal with SRM 5.5. The point is that the button 'Add Approver' is inactive for  'Approval Preview'.
    This issue regarding SRM contracts. Does anybody know how to activate usage of "add approver"  during approvement  of a contract.
    Many thanks in advance for your help.
    Kind regards,
    Grygoriy
    P/S
    I've had a look at  notice 'ADD Approver/Reviewer buttons are disabled'  by  N M Poojari ( ADD Approver/Reviewer buttons are disabled), unfortunately, author didn't point to solution of his problem. So, I'll appreciate more detailed  plan of actions.

    Thanks, Siobhan, for your reply.
    However, the problem was caused by my attempt to  to do the following steps with a wrong WF (instead standart workflow for contracts (WS14000148) we use Z-flow) :
    PFTC -> Select workflow template ->  workflow you are using -> Display -> Additional data ->
    Agent Assignment -> Maintain -> Attributes -> Select radio button
    'General Task'. -> The problem is solved
    Yours faithfully,

  • Add Approver button disabled in SRM Shopping cart

    Hello,
    We have activated 2 level PC workflow. However we are facing issue that Add Approver button is not enabled.
    Could anyone please advise.
    Thank you
    Ritesh

    Hi Ritesh,
    On the face of it,I have couple of points for you to check it out.
    1.
    Please check the agent assignment at the header level of the workflow.
    Go to transaction PFTC -> Select workflow template -> 14000133 (or   
    whichever workflow you are using) -> Display -> Additional data ->   
    Agent Assignment -> Maintain -> Attributes -> Select radio button    
    'General Task' .. or instead of everybody being able to make changes 
    you can set the agent assignment of the workflow at role level.      
    Please also review note 581191.
    2.Check if this button is not visible or not for all the roles.
    3.Check any portal enhancements or Metadata config to make it display.
    Thanks

  • Shopping Cart Add Approver option

    Hi all,
        We have a requirement wherein after creating a shopping cart we can add approver by using the "Add Approver" button on the top, i just want to know what is the backend function module or BADI called while adding the approver manually.
      In our case the creator can add his name as approver but this should be prevented, can any one guide me how to do this......
    Its very urgent and every one is highly appreciated..........
    Regards,
    Ravi G

    Hi
    Which SRM version are you using ?
    If you use WS14000133 as an alternative, you can determine the list of approvers flexibly according to your particular requirements.
    You do this using the method GET_REMAING_APPROVERS of BAdI BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI, with which you can integrate a logic for determining the approvers for each approval step (this can be more than one) and the number of steps in the entire approval process.

  • ADD approver when WS14000109 is active.

    Hey,
    I have a special requirement, to add an additional approver in the shopping cart.
    WS14000109 is active and working fine.
    The buttons ADD APPROVER & ADD REVIEWER are existing on the screen, but not enabled.
    Tried changing the security settings (0/1/2/3/4) no luck..
    I have read through the posts here ......nothing works.
    Did anyone resolve this.
    I donot want to implement N- Step BADI...workflow.
    regs

    Hi,
    Work flow WS14000109  which is activated in your system is a work flow
    "Approval n-step over Value Limit".
    In this work flow no "Adhoc Anchor" step is configuared that is why ADD approval & Add reviewer functionality is missing .
    If you analyze the Workflow WS10000031 which is two step approval standard workflow in workflow builder you will find that Adhoc Anchor step.
    I hope this will clarify your doubt. Do remember to award points

  • Add Approver/Reviewer

    Hi,
    When we create SC in srm we get an option to add approver/ reviwer.
    Please let me know to do so, do we need to activate any workflow as ad hoc approval workflow etc...
    How the approver and reviewer gets selected in the approval flow based on which logic.
    Thanks,
    Manu

    Hi,
    if you want  BY Default the add approver/reviewer in the SC itself then you have add the logic in the workflow based on the logic (for example if you getting the approver/reviewer from the Z table add the approver/reviewer there itself)
    So when are creating the SC the approver /reviewer will appear in the workflow
    The Basic function of ADD APPROVER/REVIEWER is an adhoc only .when you feel for this SC if you want to add an approver you can add the approver before the SC is saved. Incase of reviewer is only for information that the SC is created.
    hope you understand the functionality of ADD APPROVER/REVIEWER

  • RFQ Approval Process through Workflow

    Dear experts,
    We are on planning phase of RFQ release approval through SAP Workflow. There is an issue I would like to hear from your valuable thoughts.
    When an RFQ is created, ME41, all individual bids are collected under a unique collective number. Once price maintain process is done through ME47 for all bidder, we would like to send all RFQu2019s, with necessary information, which are linked to a collective number in one e-mail even if there are tens of RFQu2019s linked a collective number, not one by one sending it as we do in PO workflow process.
    Is it possible to realize this case within SAP standard approval process? Because so far I noticed that once fundamental customizing is done after price maintaining step RFQu2019s are send individually, one by one, to approvers.
    Cheers

    Dear Melih,
    I suppose you want to get approved the best offer in the bid. The best practice is to have a strong rules based on predefined criteria which quotation to be choosen by Purchasing. Then PO/contract/scheduling agreement/PIR can be maintained.
    What we have done in our system is that the PO created goes for approval based on Chart of authority via Enterprise portal. A report, displaying the key figures from the RFQs in the bid, vendor evaluation scoring for each vendor, if available and some other data, is linked to the workflow item and displayed during approval process.
