Additional Info is locking the approval process

Hi,
   We have configured ESS Time sheet rectording and approval process, it has been working fine. But suddently we are seeing one new issue. If the employee enters additional information in the recording time daily view.  This record is getting locked in Manager approval view even though it is released by employee.
  We have double checked all the process and releasing working hours but still getting the same message(Not possible to save: record is being processed).
Please suggest us to resolve this isuue.
Thanks,

Hello,
Probably you have already checked, but it does't cost to say here if you have checked if the record isn`t locked perhaps on the backend?

  • This additional info printing on the preprinted stationary on One printer &

    Hi,
    I am using smartform to print info on the preprinted stationary.
    The info to be printed is coming fine, But it is printing additional info like Job Name and User name (Login name) on the top left hand side of the pre-printed stationary when we use "HP Jetdirect print server".
    The same does not happen when i choose Epson printer as the Front end printer.
    To check if this has got some thing to do with the printer settings, When i print a Word Document to the same printer "HP Jetdirect print server". It does not print the additional info ( job name , user name ).
    So please let me know what could be the reason for this additional info printing on the preprinted stationary on One printer & Not on other printer.
    Regards,
    Siva

    Have your Basis look into the Printer initialization code in the transaction SPAD. This code is linked to the output device and paper format type, so it is possible that the same printer works differently with different paper media.
    Also have them check if there is a cover page. Although it would print as a separate page, I believe...
    If you don't want to wait for Basis guys, see here how to get to the printer initialization code (you'll need access to SPAD though):

  • What is the standard method to integreate with AME for the approval process

    Please share , how you use AME with OAF page

  • Is it possible to trigger the approval process programmatically?

    When a user attempts to add a form the add-on can intercept this but is it possible to check in the code whether this particular Form (document) would pass the approval process or not. The add-on can keep an eye on the loading forms and it can spot the authorization form, but if the approval process does not start for the current Form it would be added and that's too late for the add-on to do its stuff.
    Thanks.
    Svilen

    Hi Svilen,
    I don't think you can trigger the approval from within your add-on. However, you could check which approvals are active and retrieve the same query to run within your add-on. The results of running the query should tell you if the current document will pass the approval checks. I think there's a fair bit of work in getting this to work though :-\
    Kind Regards,

  • To Activate the Approval Process when document is in update mode

    Dear Expert,
                        I have applied the Approval Process for UDF using the query "Select Distinct 'True' From ORDR T0
    Where IsNull($[ORDR.U_Rebate.number],0)>0 and $[ORDR.DocType]='I' ".
    Now as the field is UDF user is able to modify even after approval procedure.
    Please help me to apply the above query for the  Approval process even when the document is in update mode.
    regards,
    PankajK

    Dear Pankaj,
    Current B1 design only support approval for adding document. Update will not trigger approval.
    You may use SP_TN instead to block user updating it. If you are not familiar with the SP, search the forum first.
    Thanks,

  • Approver Details Not Visible After Changing the Approval Process

    Hi Gurus,
    This expense report belongs to an open approval task when an approval process has ended its validity date.
    After a new approval process is activated, all pending approval tasks experience the issue of approver details not showing.
    In order to reproduce following steps need to be done :
    1. Deactivate the current approval process and activate the new approval process.
    2. When the status of the recently deactivated approval process is "Ended With Open Tasks", go to the "Show Open Approval Tasks" to
    see the open approval tasks.
    3 Check the Cost Assignment area for expense report which is in the open approval tasks.
    3. Approver Details are available.
    4. The approver sees the expense report on his/her approval list.
    Once the approver approves, it doesn't go out of his/her approval list and the expense report is still pending for approval.
    To determine if the expense report has no other pending approval from anyone else, there should be the approver
    details but the issue is it doesn't show up.
    The expense report is also stuck on the approver's approval list even after approving.
    Workaround provided to the Customer:   Recall the ER and submit again for approval.
    But as per customer there should be a background job to refresh the expense report to reflect the approval details.
    And issue should not occur as explained on the point 4.
    Kindly suggest if anything is possible to improve the system behavior.
    Regards,
    Rahul Mishra

    Hi Rahul,
    Although we have a workaround, I believe a permanent solution has to be implemented.
    In cases when an expense report has more than one approver (for example there are 4 approvers) and the 3 approvers had already approved, I think it will not be good to recall the expense report and resubmit because the traveler will have to seek for approval again from all the approvers.

  • Remove Agent from the Approval process

    Hello,
    I have a work item that is going for approval to an agent. The agent should not be getting it. I have checked the hierarchy in pposa_bbp, the person who created the shopping cart, does not report to this agent, and both are in different org structures. I also checked the work item log in swdp but he is no whenre in the approvers list. He is still getting this emails to approve. These are coming from mailbox called ebatch and when i checked the user ebatch, in su01d, there is no information there. I am fairly new to this issue... any inputs will be appreciated.
    this is for std work item WS14000033.
    Please help!

    Hello,
    Ebatch could be the name assigned to WF-BATCH, have a look at its entry in SU01.
    I assume not every user is getting these workitems?
    It could be that the agent was set up as a substitute, checkl the entries in table HRUS_D2.

  • Remove the last task of the stand approval process workflow in SharePoint Designer

    Hello,
    I am building a workflow in SharePoint Designer.  I have added the standard approval process that comes stock in SharePoint. I also have the approval set up to handle change requests.  This is where my issue is.  A user can eather approve
    a document or request changes(according to some limitations i have in place on the InfoPath form).  If they approve, the workflow is complete.  If they request a change, a request change task gets assigned to another user.  This other user then
    completes their review and submits their response.  this then kicks off the approval process again to the original user to approve. 
    1. User A recieves approval form - requests a change
    2. User B recieves Form - submits that changes have been made
    3. User A recieves another approval form - then can approve
    I am looking for a way to eliminate step number 3.  I want User B to be able to complete the approval when he submits the changes.  I tried copying and pasting the approve button from the default infopath view onto the view that UserB
    sees, which has a data submit action when the button is clicked. This did not work.
    Any ideas would help

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to add a “request a change” button in the Task Form.
    If you can cutomize the task form, I recommend to add button directly and then add conditions and rules to the button.
    After you add the “request a change” button, the workflow is similar to the
    Multiple Approval Workflow.
    Here is a great blog for your reference:

  • Displaying approver info in the Approval Form

    Approval workflow process: How I could print the approver accountId
    (or the "approver" process variable) in the Approval Form ?

    idm_guy, if you could elaborate more on what you mean with latest resource assigned it would help - but there are a number of options (if i interprent you correctly to solvethis). My guess is that the easiest way would be to determine if:
    waveset.accounts[<iterate through resources>].created = true or false
    and if
    waveset.accounts[<resource>].lastPasswordUpdate = <last updated date>
    The latter is of course only applicable to resource where you set a password. This value will be updated whenever you set the password and could be a possible value to check against.
    If the account is not created yet but assigned it might be another possibility to check, but again - clairfy a bit about what you mean with "Latest Resource Assigned".
