Add Approved Date to 2010 Approval workflow

Hello
I have copied the globally reusable workflow Approval - SharePoint 2010 and will apply it to a document library.
However, this approval workflow does not have an approval date column (only in the history list).
We really need to have a date in the corresponding Tasks list to say the date it was approved, for our audit trail. I don't want to use the Workflow History list.
Your detailed response would be much appreciated as I am only new to modifying workflows.
Thank you so much.
Mel

Hi,
I understand you need to get the “Approved Date” and display it in the Task list.
As we can tell, there is a OOB column in the Task list named Outcome which shows the Approved status of Approval workflow. When it turns into “Approved”, then the current date is the “Approved Date” you want. So I use the workflow
to get the current date i.e. “Today”. Then we can create a new column in Task list (in my demo, it is Date) to display it.
Could you please have a test per my steps in my first reply? Any question, let me know.

  • Approval Dates for each Approver in Document Details

    Hello,
    Please I want to know if this can be done. I need to show the approval dates for each approval step of a document next to the approver name in the iview,
    Context Menu of a document -> Details -> Settings -> Approval. (The approval process must be enabled).
    Example:
    Approval Process
    Step
      Approvers
    1 User, Intranet has approved - 25/07/2010 9:10 AM
    2 lastname, name has approved - 27/07/2010 10:08 AM
    I don't know if this is possible.
    Thanks & Regards

    Hello,
    After searching for days in SDN / HELP, I found that in "km.appl.ui.statemanagement_api.jar" there are ".properties" for all the languages. What takes my attention is the file "ApprovedItemRenderer_en.properties" that has this content,
    #File created by SLIM generator ($SP-DIFF-TRANSLATED-FILE$)
    xfld_author=Approved By
    xfld_date=Approved On
    The standard portal displays Approved By. But I see that SAP has thought in the approval date? Is there an easy way or how can I activate the property xfld_date?
    Thanks & Regards

  • PO Approval Date in SSP Approval screen

    Hi,
    We are using ECS with SRM4.0.
    All the Purchase Orders in Awaiting Approval status shows the pending Approval Date as today's date. But the PO Approval WorkItem is lying with Approver for the past 10 days.
    Pls advise so that the correct approval information is displayed in the Approval screen of SSP.
    Rgds.

    Lets start with the obvious question, is there anything that's saying having workflow created versioning is a bad thing? If you've got document checking and versioning turned on, you're clearly in an environment where auditing it needed.
    SPD has steps for checking in and checking out.  If you use these, than you can also use the "log item to history" or something similar to log the history.
    Other than that, try using calculated columns to look up both the Approver and the Approver Date.  Return these as single lines of text and they should work fine with Quick Parts.

  • Approver & approval date from Requisition & PO Approval workflow tables

    Dear All,
    My req is to create a report that calculates the lead time taken by a Purchase Requisition to be converted into a PO and released. In the output they want the APPROVER NAME, DATE APPROVED against the REQUISITION NUMBER (EBAN-BANFN) and also they want APPROVER NAME, DATE APPROVED against the Purchase Order (so all in all 2 fields of approvers & 2 fields of approval dates). But the thing is they want these APPROVER NAME, DATE APPROVED from the Requisition Approval Workflow tables.
    Please update the table & fields that will have the Approver and date approved from workflow corresponding to the Purchase Requisition Number and Purchase Order. or What is the link between the "Approver, approval date & Purchase Requisition Number" and "Approver, approval date & Purchase Order".
    Thanks in advance. The solution will be rewarded the points.
    Warm Regards,
    Farooq.

    We have HR/Payroll and Purchasing working fine for 6 years with the following schedule settings. 0.1 seems too frequent:
    A. Schedule one concurrent request to process deferred activities:
    1. Item Type :
    2. Min Threshold :
    3. Max Threshold :
    4. Process Deferred : Yes
    5. Process Timeout : No
    6. Process Stuck : No
    (Once every five minutes)
    B. Schedule one concurrent request to process timeout activities:
    1. Item Type :
    2. Min Threshold :
    3. Max Threshold :
    4. Process Deferred : No
    5. Process Timeout : Yes
    6. Process Stuck : No
    (Once every six hours)
    C. Run for stuck activities periodically
    1. Item Type :
    2. Min Threshold :
    3. Max Threshold :
    4. Process Deferred : No
    5. Process Timeout : No
    6. Process Stuck : Yes
    (Once every day)
    D. Run forall three activities periodically
    1. Item Type :
    2. Min Threshold :
    3. Max Threshold :
    4. Process Deferred : Yes
    5. Process Timeout : Yes
    6. Process Stuck : Yes
    (Once every day)
    By the way, we also have Synchronize WF Local Tables run once every 24 hours
    Hope this helps.

  • Can we change the name of reassign button in sharepoint 2010 approval workflow?

    can we change the name of reassign button in sharepoint 2010 approval workflow?
    Shazil Ali

    Yes, we can change it. Steps are as follows: 1. Create the workflow in SharePoint Designer 2010 2. Use Start Approval Process action 3. Write your logic and all setting as per you requirement and then publish the workflow once. 4. After this, click on
    the workflow name and there you will see the sections as Workflow Information, Customization, Settings, Start Options, Forms. Here you will see a form under Forms section with a name of Approval_x00....... with a type "Task". Click on this form. This form
    is an Infopath form that opens up when a task is to be edited (Task Form). This form will open up in Infopath (provided you have Infopath installed on your system) It may ask you the crendentials for security. 5. The task form will open up in Infopath for
    editing. Click on the Reasign button and in the top left corner in the ribbon section is the field (Label) having text as "Reassign Task". Change this and then save and publish the form.Publish the workflow once again.

    You only got half my query.  It starts with a ;.
    ;with maxApproval as
      select approveId, max(approvalDate) as approvalDate from Approval group by approveId
    SELECT    di.DocID as DocumentID,
    di.DocName as DocumentName,

    join
                          maxApproval ma on at.ApproveID = ma.ApproveID;
    This is a CTE.  You can learn about them in my article on Code Project, here:
    http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/702691/SQL-Wizardry-Part-Three-Common-Table-Expressions-C
    As you can see, I also aliased all your tables, which makes my SQL more concise.  As I said, the aliases ( like the di. in di.DocId ) can be removed if that column name only exists in one of the tables you're selecting from.

  • Project Server 2010 Approval Centre

    Hi - We have a requirement in Microsoft Project Server 2010. Where in we mange N number of work plans assigned to Many work plan owners. The challenge we facing here is we need to know the last Approved date/time and Published Date/time  for each work
    plan across the work plan owners at one shot. MSP 2010 provides the feasibility to get these details but limites by delegate  session at a time. Which is really time consuming in a larger stream where we have around 20 work plan owners maintaining N number
    of work plans. So is there a way we can view all the Work plan pertaining to all the Work plan owners at one shot .
    Either through MSP2010 or Through SQL either of the choice is fine with us.
    Thanks, Rex

    If you create a view (to be viewed in Project Centre) you can add in the last published date (Last Published) or last modified (Last Modified).

  • Approval data of SC and PO in SRM 7.0

  • PO Approval date

    Hi Experts,
    I have an issue with PO Approval date, we have a release strategy in place for all PRs > 5000 k INR, we have developed a costomised report where in we need to have the approval date of the PO ie the PO release date, we tried to consider the PO workflow for approval date, but we have the versions also maintained for the PO, so we are unable to depend upon the workflow changes in the header changes. please advice if we can use anyother method to get the PO approval date.

    hi
    The Release dates of the PO are unfortunately not stored in SAP but as stated above you can check the change documents in the follwowing manner:
    Go to CDPOS table with Objectid = <PO Number> and OBJSCTCLASS = EINKBELEG and FNAME = FRGKE and NEW_VALUE = <Final release code> and get the CHANGENR from CDPOS. Then go CDHDR with the CHANGENR and get the update date..

  • Table which stores approver data.

    hello,
    which table stores the approver data. i mean the part where you have the node id, agent name, state in the transaction bbp_pd?
    thx in advance

    Hi
    In BBP_PD, in the approver tab, you would see workitem details and approver agent. These details are determined dynamically by the system and do not get stored in any tables. You can try for some FM like RH_WI_AGENTS_GET to fetch the agents using workflow task id.

  • Approval Date on GRN Printout

    Hi All
    We had set approval procedures for  GRPO's.
    The Layout for GRN was designed in crystal reports.
    Now Our Client need Approval Date to be printed instead of Posting Date.
    How Can i Achieve this through queries?

    Hi,
    You probably need add an UDF. Then get Approval Date by FMS. It will be easy to include the UDF in GRPO PLD.

  • How to find approval data in SRM systems

    Hi All,
    Kindly let me know from which table / or how can I find the approval data ?
    Actually one of the shopping cart is not transfering approval data from r/3 to BW althoufg the shooping cart has been approved (c1). In order to debug this, I wanted to know how can I find the approval data in srm system.
    The data is extracted thru function module and i have already searched the table CRMD_PARTNER but there is no approval data in this.
    Any help will be appreciated.
    I got the approval data for the SC . it has been approved (C1 approval) but I don't understand why this data has not been extracted to BW.
    Any help to check why this data is not there while data of other SC's are there.

    Hello,
    Approval table and data are in fact maintained in Workflwo container. If you are using the BADI workflow, then the below logic can be used (assuming you are in SRM 5.0)
    1. Use function module BBP_PDH_WFL_WI_FROM_OBJECT_GET to get the work item corresponding to the document (PO/CTR/SC..).
    2.Once you have the work item, you can pass this to function module BBP_WFL_DIN_APPR_CONTAINER_GET to get the approval agents.
    The return table ET_APPROVAL_AGENTS from function module BBP_WFL_DIN_APPR_CONTAINER_GET will give you back all the approvers in the workflow.

  • How do I prevent a user from having the rights to approve a document in approval workflow?

    I have a document library with the SharePoint 2010 approval workflow assigned. Documents must be approved before a major version is checked in.
    The checkbox "Start this workflow to approve publishing a major version of an item." is checked for the workflow.
    I want any user to be able to create a document and submit for approval but I only want a subset of people to have permission to approve the documents submitted for approval
    How do I only allow certain users be able to be selected to approve a document?

    Deleted other posts because pictures did not upload.
    I have done exactly as has been indicated, yet User1 can still assign User2 as the approver and User2 can approve the check-in when the "Open this task" button is clicked in the approval
    email in Outlook and the approve button is click in the displayed dialog.
