Add required information during approval process

Hello,
I am trying to do the following : A user is entering a request for a resource . This request must be approved by a manager.. My problem is that the manager
must provide additional information before the provisioning can start. The user himself should not be able to insert this info.
Can this be done? and how?

Hi,
First thing, what do you mean by Additional Information (Either user information or some information regarding Request).
If it is related to request then, OOTB you can do this via the add comments for the particular request which would be saved into the database with the request. The user itself would be able to view the same.The comments however are not mandatory and the manager can skip them. In case if you want this comments to be mandatory, that would involve doing quite a bit of customization involving jsps/struts and etc.
Let me know if you want any help in that.
Cheers!!!

Making GL Account field editable during Approval Process

Hi Experts,
We are in SRM 7.0 and using process controlled workflow.
As a business requirent,we want the GL account field to be editable during the approval process i.e during approval process,approve wants to change the GL account in the shopping cart as the GL account may not be correctly entered.
Is it possible to make the GL account field editable during approval process?if Yes,please share how it can be done.
Any pointers will be highly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,

Hi,
You can find info in help.sap.com.

Level Type: There are 3 possible entries. Approval with completion, Approval and Automatic. Within
a completion step the document can be changed by the approver if the u2018Changeableu2019 flag is set.
Within the approval phase, the document can only be approved or rejected but not changed. It is not
possible to mix the two phases of completion and approval. The completion phase is always before
the approval phase. The automatic step is a final means of validating the approval process, and to
verify that at least one step was returned without any error (example: event 0EV999). Depending on
the task ID assigned to the automatic step, the document will then be either approved or rejected.

Error during approval Process flow in Process controlled workflow

Hello Experts,
We are in SRM 7.0 classic scenario using Process controlled workflow.WE recently connected a new backend R/3 system to our SRM system i.e we now have 2 R/3 backend system connected to SRM system
It is regarding the two new additional account assignment categories that came into picture when we connected the new R/3 backend system to our SRM system, i.e. Asset and Network.
There seems to be some problem with the approval workflow for those SHC, that have such Acc *** Cats.
Please find below my obeservations:
- if you have just one line item in the SHC, and this item is either booked on Asset or on Network, than everything goes fine. After the Acc *** approval, the PR is created in R/3
- if you have SC with a mix between an "old" Acc *** Cat (Cost Centre, WBS and Order) and one of the "new" Acc *** Cats, than the workflow is not working as required --- the manager, that is responsible for the accounting approval of the two positions (e.g Cost Centre and Asset) gets only one work item in his approval overview --- in that work item, the two positions are there, but the Asset one is grayed out --- so, the Manager approves only the Cost Centre positions and than the SC is no longer with the approver --- if you observe the SC now from the requisitioner point of view, the status of the line items in the approval process overview of both(!) lines is "approved", but the overall status of the SC is still "in approval"
Can you all experts plz let us know why this is happening and how this can be resolved?
Any pointers will be highly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,

Approver skipped during approval process in N-step BADI workflow

Hi,
I am some problem in n-step BADI approval process. For some reasons one of the approvers is skipping during approval. And later in the approval preview it observes that the approver, who is just above the skipped approver, is appeared twice.
I am not able to simulate this issue though this is happening in the system frequesntly though it is not for all.
Can you please let me know what is the problem in the system and how can we rectify this issue?
Thank You.
Regards,
Krish

Hello
sorry search for the n-step WS14500015 is the item based...
Another thing, you can try with testing to restrict the case to special conditions. Are there any added-approver there? Is there any approver who makes some changes to the SC? etc..

And is there a way to preserve track information during editing process?

Because I'm editing the gaps out of all the songs in my iTunes library, I'm spending tons of time re-entering the track information (Name, Artist, Genre, etc.) on every song, and also dragging the album art to the edited version.
It would be nice if I could just paste the edited song in place of the original in the iTunes library or, even better, drag and drop the whole row of info from the original into the cells for the edited version, much in the way that rows of data tables can be copied and pasted.
Is this possible?

Whoa — I discovered the solution to my problem in, of all places, the iTunes File Menu under Get Info > Options. There (unmentioned in Apple's Help topics) is a place where you can set the start and stop times of songs to skip over any moments of silence — and don't have to edit the songs at all!
This isn't as elegant as cross-fading, but it's good enough for 90 percent of my music. For those occasional songs that do need some refining, I can make do with the more tedious editing process that I described in this forum.
Too bad I didn't find this solution before processing more than a hundred songs the hard way! But thank goodness I won't have to do that anymore.

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.

PO Approval Process - Statuses Query

Hi All,
I am not able to figure out when will the following combination of statuses will occur in a PO Collaboration with Approval Process.
Distribution Status : Updated by Customer
Change Distribution Status : Published by Supplier
It will be great if anyone can illustrate this with example.
Regards,
Bharath

Hi Nikhil,
Thanks for the answer. But in my tests, when one / more of a PO line item is set to "Manual Approval Required" after the Approval Process, the statuses are as follows:
Status 1:
Distribution Status : Published by Supplier
Change Distribution Status : Updated by Customer
If the Buyer logs into SNC Web UI and approves the deviation, the statuses change to :
Status 2:
Distribution Status : Published by Supplier
Change Distribution Status : Published by Supplier
This triggers a PORDCH Idoc which goes and changes the ECC PO and sends a new PORDCR1 / RON to SNC. After this the status becomes:
Status 3:
Distribution Status : Updated by Customer
Change Distribution Status : Updated by Customer
So my query is when do we get the remaining combination of the statuses i.e.,
Status 4:
Distribution Status : Updated by Customer
Change Distribution Status : Published by Supplier
This is primarily to define the PO Chnage Profile. As per std. SAP Change Profile, for Status 1 & 3, the PO is editable by supplier but for status 2& 4 its display only.

Bharath

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.

Approval Process on Blackberry

Hi Julien,
The task type of the work item is 'W' and task_id is TS*.
As I told previously, the scenario here is of Releasing/Rejecting a PR.
The present scenario here is, the approver gets the workitem in his MS outlook inbox, with a Link for approval.
When he/she clicks on the link, it navigates to the tcode me54n of the sap system, where the approver has to take a decision of releasing or rejecting the PR.
So, I dont think the BAPI SAP_WAPI_DECISION_COMPLETE will be of help to me because the decision here is taken in the transaction me54n and not on the workitem itself.
But now, when i configure this scenario on a blackberry, the approver should be able to take the decision of Releasing/ Rejecting the PR on his blackberry itself(without going to the transaction me54n).
Can you please help me on this?
Thanks
Sunil

Approval Process between Payment proposal and Payment run(F110)

Hi All,
We have a requirement on the approval process in Automatic Payment Run.
Requirement is a person runs the payment proposal and the details are to be send to the Approver. Once the approver reviews the details in the proposal run, he can either approve or reject the payment run.Once approved then only payment need to be executed.
Is it possible to build a approval workflow between proposal or payment run?
if manual approval is happening outside SAP, is it possible to provide a stop payment run until it is approved?-or it only through security?
Is there any possiblity to attach documents to the each and every proposal run?
Understand this is a common requirement everyone is having...Looking out for solutions
Can you please provide SAP standard or a customised solution?
Regards,
Suresh

Hi Suresh,
Welcome to SDN Forums!
According to me there is no standard workflow system for payment proposals approvals.
Have you tried with the authorisation concept?
In F110, go to menu item -> Environment -> Authorisations
Assign the activities to users according to your requirement.
Please check with your ABAP & BASIS collegues.

Cup Approval process requires multiple hits of the APPROVE button

Hello GRC CUP folks,
We have an approval process wherein a given request can require 4 levels of approvals to be provisioned. When a manager logs in to CUP, and tries to approve a request, she hits the APPROVE button, then the yellow status bar appears, showing the approval status so far for this request. And she has to hit the APPROVE button again. Then the yellow status for this current stage turns green and the workflow proceeds to the next stage. It is getting back to me that the managers are having trouble understanding and remembering that they have to hit the APPROVE button more than once (even though we added text to that effect in the approval email).
Is there some way to get the approval to process to the next stage with only one push of the APPROVE button?
Thanks for your ideas.
Yvonne

Hi Yvonne,
Please go to config -> workflow -> stage -> go to change mode for Manager stage.
Make sure that, 'Display Review Screen', 'Comments Mandatory' and 'Confirm Approval' are set to 'NO'. This will make sure that as soon as Manager hits Approve button, the request would be approved.
Regards,
Alpesh
