Added Approver is merging in ASM approver level

Hi Experts,
We are in SRM5.0 version, when a PO is being ordered, if i add a valid approver at the preliminay approver level, i.e before the preliminary approver it will go for the approval to his inbox and then the preliminary approver.
Suppose I have a PO with one Preliminary approver and 2 ASM approvers.
At the ASM level, if i add a valid approver at the second level i.e before ASM approver, the approver will get added and when I refresh the PO, the added approver will display at the added ASM level.
When the First level of approver i.e preliminary approver approvers the PO, the PO will go to the next level for approval.
But here the added approver is being merged with the ASM approver, and when i check the node id of the added approver will be deleted.
Kindly let me know if this is a standard behaviour in SRM 5.0, if not then at what class/method/FM/BADI this merging of the ASM approvers is taking place.
Many Thanks in advance
Regards
Ahmed

Can you please check whether the first user has approved the cart or not ?
Check the workflow LOG in SWI1 and there you can see the details, why the workitem is not being sent.

    Hi Marlene,
    Thank you very much for your suggestions.
    But I am not creating a custom workflow in designer as Laura has mentioned. I am instead trying to create a new Out of the box Approval Workflow and I get the error mentioned above.
    As it works in other environment, I tried figuring out the possible differences which can lead to this error.
    Today I found one difference which is there are no form Templates within Infopath Configurations in Central Admin. Now I am trying to figure out what makes this form templates to be added to the template gallery.

  • Work Flow Approval in Sales Order at 4 levels

    Hi Gurus !!!
    Sales Employee creates a sales order which should go for the approval of SM & GM and if it is sales of specific item then it should also go to the 3rd approval of another Manager
    Now if there is Discount in the Order then as per the % of discount offer it should go to the concerned approval authority
    Pls suggest !!!

    Hi,
    Thanks for your comments !!
    Actually Up to 3 level the workflow should trigger after creation of sales orders
    My main concerns are 2 - 
    1. It should go to 4th level only if is is the sales of product of one specific division product (this will be 3rd level approval)
    2. if there is Discount in the Order then as per the % of discount offer it should go to the concerned approval authority (This will be 4th level approval)
    If in order these both conditions are not there then only first 3 levels of regular approvals are required

  • Shopping cart approval substitution not working on 2 levels

    Hi,
    We have a few unique cases in approval substitution.
    We have approver A for whom a substitute is maintained  in HRUS_D2 table for period of 3 months as active substitute.
    so normally any shopping cart which has been created for approver A  sends a notification to approver B also.
    but recently what happened is approver C has been maintained an active substitute  in HRUS_D2 table  for approver B .
    so logically any SC created for Approver A should get sent to Approver C as Approver C is  substitute for Approver B who is substitute for approver A.
    What is happening is that Approver C does not get any notification of any shopping carts created for approver A approval. But if we login with approver B details the we can see the SC created and awaiting approval.
    Can somebody tell us why SC are not flowing to approver C for approval.
    Both are maintained as active approvers in HRUS_D2 table
    Thanks R.M.

    Hello
    This is not a bug. It is the fact that Approver A has only given
    approval authority to Approver B, but not to Approver C.
    In order for Approver C to have authority to approve Approver A's workitems
    he will have to be specifically authorized to do so, just as Approver B was.
    Best Regards

  • Shopping Cart change by approver is not updating in approval preview screen

    We are using SRM 4.0 in ECS and have been noticing a problem with the approval preview on the shopping cart when the shopping cart is changed or rejected by one of the added approvers.
    The shopping cart was created with multiple line items for materials and when the shopping cart was ordered it workflowed to the 1st approver that was added.  He noticed that a price was wrong on one of the line items of the shopping and proceeded to change it and then approved the SC.  The approval preview screen in the SC shows that it was approved but the preview does not show that it was forwarded to the next approver listed on the preview screen.  However checking in the backend I'm showing the SC sitting in the inbox of the next approver stating: Your shopping cart 'MD D&C LL1 dvf Vetco-Subsea Wellhead Eq' was changed/rejected in part. Please check.
    Why isn't the approval preview updating when the SC is rejected or changed?

    hi,
    This  behaviour of the system is as follows , when the first approvers makes the changes and then approves the cart , it will go to the requestor of the shopping cart , and wether the workflow should restart --->
    depends on the security level of the approver who is changing the cart -->
    you can find the security level of the approver --> in the transaction SU01 ---> persononalization tab ---> key bbp_wfl_security
    and the text you have mentioned --->
    Your shopping cart 'MD D&C LL1 dvf Vetco-Subsea Wellhead Eq' was changed/rejected in part
    this is for the requestor of the cart ---> this is mail which specifies that the first approver has partially approved the cart.

  • GL Journal approval- Send notification to multiple approver

    Hello
    I want to send GL journal approval notification to multiple approver, once any of the approver approves the journal it should be removed from worklist of all approver. How can we acheive this?
    Pls help
    Thanks
    Avalon

    Hi
    What i am sure of is that you can have specific groups for your journal approval and each of the groups can have specific approvers.
    When i say the above line, i mean that you can have groups like Treasury, Finance and Payroll and each of them have their desiganated approvers.
    Then the level of journal preparer who can also fall to a specific group.
    Once the journal preparer belonging to a specific group prepares a journal, it will route to the journal approver belonging to the specific group.
    I am not sure about whether you can create approval groups and also if you send the journal for approver to multiple approver, than how the other approver will come to know that the journal is approved or rejected or whether has the other person taken any action - it will create dependencies between the 2 person and hence might create confusion.
    So i am not sure about the resolution for your question.
    But if the approach suggested by me matches your requirement, i can forward you the document which contains the step you need to do to achieve the functionality,
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks and Regards

  • Approver to be able to approve backdated SC's

    Hello All,
       We are running on SRM 4.0(classic scenario).
        My reqt is that when  approving backdated SC's,in the std functionlaity the system doesnt allow the Approver to approve teh Backdated SC's but when he changes the date and tries to approve ,he is able  to approve the SC,i need to allow the approver to able to approve the Backdated SC's also since in our scenario,the approver will most of the times approve the SC 1 day after the SC  has been created.(Escalation procedure is not preferred as tehe time limit is not definate).
    Regards,
    Disha.

    Hi Yann,
      Actually now i am facing  1  more problem that by changing the message type,the requisitioner is now able to change the "Required Date" also while adding the items to the SC.....
      I dont want that any requsitioner should be  able to change the "Required date" but yes  approvers  should be  able to approve the Backdated SC's.
      Will this require  any development?

  • Approval Preview (Only first approver is displayed after 1 approval step)

    Hello Everyone!
    We have a scenario in PROD wherein the approval preview doesn't show all approvers in the screen. At first, when the Contract document is prepared (not yet approved/created) and then the approval preview is displayed, the screen correctly shows the 3 approvers with status 'To be approved by'. However, when the document was created and that the first approver already approved the document, the approval preview only shows 1 approver line in the approval preview (table) with a status 'Approved by'. The next 2 approvers are not displayed in the screen.
    When we checked the document in BBP_PD and in SWI1, the workflow correctly identified the next approvers and even sent some notifications for them to approve. This is more on the screen problem. The approval preview (table) only shows the 1st approver who approved the document. We want to see all the approvers (with different status) in the approval preview so that we may know who already approved the document and who are the ones to still approve the document.
    We only experience this in PRD, and this scenario (document) works both in DEV and QAS. Please let us know the SAP Notes related to this. The affected documents are Contract and PO.
    Thanks and regards,
    Reymar

    Hi Masa,
    There were no applied notes related to approval preview (table) in DEV and QAS system.
    We have SRM 5.0 component version; SRM Server 5.50 ; SP13.
    Would you know any cause of this issue?
    Thank you very much.

  • New determination of approver in 1-step SC approval WF

    Hi Folks,
    Could any guide me in the bedst way to chnage the approver i 1-step SC approval WS10000129.
    I do not want it to be tha manager, but rather the person(s) with the relation Z08 (Approver).
    I want to make sure that all the standard functionality remains in the WF, or the copy of the standard WF (WS10000129).
    Any advice?
    Thanks in advance,
    Thomas

    Hi Folks,
    I've done this and the agent determination works just fine
    My problem is now that I've made a copy of WS10000129 to my own 91300xxx.
    I've replaced the ASBMANAGER with my own BUS-Object ZASBMAN for container Agent_0001.
    When I create a shopping cart, and goes to the approval preview, I'm not able to replace the selected agent. in fact the change button does not appear at all
    Any ideas??
    Thanks in advance,

  • Approval Workflow - How to stop Approval Process after one Approve?

    I currently have a approval workflow for announcements. There are two approvers assigned to the workflow with the serial setting. How do I end the approval work process after one of the two persons approve? Currently, if one person approves, I have a "In
    Progress" status under the status column.
    Here is the text-based editor view of my workflow:
    f Current Item:Body not equals Current Item:PriorBody
    Start Approval process on Current Item with User1; User2
    Else if Current Item:PriorWorkflow equals Approved
    Set workflow status to Approved
    If Current Item:PriorWorkflow equals Rejected
    Set workflow status to Rejected
    Any tips are welcomed. I have found that Nintex released a workflow that addresses this, but I would like to work around that if possible.

    Hi David,
    Yes, I created the workflow based on SharePoint  2013 Workflow platform. You can have a look at the screenshoot:
