Additional workflow Mailer setup on Purchase Order

Dear All,
We are running on R12 on 11.0.1.7 database. We have configured Workflow mailer notification and it seems to be running properly.. And the approver/approvee gets appropriate mails on appropriate time.
But our management requires additional customization on how this function should work, The requirement is as follows:
Problem Description: When a PO is raised it goes to his immediate superior who can approve the PO for less than Rs.100,000 and if it is above the stated amount, the respective PO requires further approval from the next superior in the hierarchy.
The workflow standard setup is such a way so that the user who has raised the PO gets a mail notification alerting that the PO has been approved if so.
Could you guide me a way in Oracle Ebiz R12 so that not only user who has raised the PO is alerted through mail if the PO is approved but also the immediate approver is also notified via mail for POs which is above Rs.100,000.
Note: PO above Rs.100,000 goes through immediate approver and then to the next approver in the hierarchy.
Thanks in advance for all ur support
and Regards,
Asif

How to troubleshoot approval workflow of a rejected purchase order

Hi,
We are working in oracle applications 11i.
I have a purchase order with status rejected that has hanged up in the system. The user rejected PO and the document has not been transferred to the PO buyer. From the application forms -> Forward documents window, I can see that neither the user who rejected or the buyer has the document.
From System Administrator responsibility I can see that the workflow administrator can modify a PO that is only IN PROCESS,
what shall I do?

Workflow for releasing blocked purchase orders

Hi,
We want to implement a workflow for financial approval of purchase orders. At the moment a purchase order exceeds a certain value, the order will be blocked and approval is needed from the responsible cost center manager. As we are completely new to workflow, is there some one that can help me with my questions below?
1. Is there a standard workflow in SAP (ECC6.0) that supports the above process?
2. What are the trigger points for this workflow (creation and change of PO?)
3. What are the required steps to set up this workflow.
Regards,
Ed

hi,
You can set up your workflow while you setup your release strategy..Before you do this you have to use authorisation in order to assign the role to a special person, in your case cost centre manager and follow on with your release strategy...
Creation n changibity will depend on the changability indicator defined under release indicator set up...
where you can choose as per your req. for eg 4, 5 or 6 etc...
you also take help of BI consultant if req....
Also you can find may threads reg. Workflow into SDN...

Hello !
      You can trigger the workflow from SWUE.Enter bus2012 and created for object type and event respectively.
      Click object key button where enter the purchase order number which have been already created.
      But, why do you want to trigger the workflow again for already created purchase order ?

Workflow issue when create Purchase Order automaticlly based on Sales Order

I got a problem when create purchase order automatically once the Sales Order created, the field ERNAE of the Purchase Order creatd is WF-BATCH, but we want this field to be the user log in the system, like John. Smith
it seems this is a configuration issue, but i am not familar with workflow, do you experts have any solutions?
thank you in advance.
Hongtao

thank you for you reply my friend.
yes, i mean the PO creator.
I just create a SO in VA01, then change the Schedule line category from CN to CP, then SAVE, then Confirm the Delivery Proposal. after all this, the PO will be created automatically by Workflow. Because when I display the PO via ME23N, it displays [Standard PO XXXXX created by Workflow-System] on the top of the screen.
But i do not know which workflow is trigered to create the PO. and i tried SWEL like you said, there is no record listed.
do you have any other suggestions? thank you so much, friend.

Authority mail while releasing purchase order

Hello Experts,
My requirement is when the person release the purchase order(SAP-MM) of certain amount then email will trigger to the authorized person and once he approves then only PO will get released.
Is there any work of ABAP in this, If yes, How this functionality can be achieved through abap and what are the user exits I need to apply.
Please help.

Yes It is possible. You have to write an enhancement in Program LMEGUICJI after get PO has been saved (committed) .
her you will get all the info about the PO after being Commit Work executed After ->POST.
You will also get the release strategy information using the FM "BAPI_PO_GETRELINFO ". Based on The release strategy and amount in PO you can send mail using the FM "SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1".
Hope this will solve your purpose.

Add additional authorization object to create purchase order t-code me21n

Hi,
we are running 4.7 Enterprise.
I would like to add an additional auth. object to transaction code ME21N in order to restrict purchase order entry by material type.
Ideally I would like that the M_MATE_MAR (Material Master: Material Types) auth. object is checked since I want to restrict certain users by material type = HAWA.
Would that be possible?
If yes, how?
Thanks!

Hi Armin
Authorizationscheck are implementd directly in the source code - this means that often, it is not possible, using standard, to add an extra authorization check.
If the M_MATE_MAR is already implemented, you can inset it manually, but if isn't you need to look for an alternative, or perhaps an user exit in which you implement it your self.
You can find a list here http://arthur_ong.tripod.com/xab018.htm.

Additional field(company code) in purchase order screen layout

Hi All experts,
I have a requirement to set the company code in Purchase order as display field during PO creation or change.
I have checked in IMG under screen layout for purchase order but there is no company code field available.
How can I add the additional field into the screen layout.
Any inout will be highly appreciated.
Thank you in advance
Lost.

Hi Chee Wan Ng,
<b>Where</b> exactly you want to set the Company Code field in the Purchase order? Actually this field is already available under <b>Org.data</b> tab in the Purchase Order Creation transaction (ME21N), so you may not require to set the Company Code again.
Which version of SAP R/3 you are using?
Hope this helps you, if not, then give us more details to help you better.
Good luck.

Me59N - Additional Selection Field for New Purchase Order

Hi Everyone,
I have a requirement to add a new field to the selection screen of ME59N. Basically the client requires 'Per Material Group' to be defined under 'New Purchase Order. I've searched around but cannot find something similiar.
My question is: Can this be acheived without copying ME59N to a custom version ? I'm told a particular enchancement (me590001) can be of use but I dont think it's suitable for this requirement.
Any help or advice is greatly appreciated.
Many thanks

Hi Bipin,
Yes, that would be an option if we couldnt find a solution for setting a new selection condition in CFM1. Is there a CIF userexit related to sales order? That would be grateful..
Cheers.
Thanks in advance

Purchase order release workflow - urgent

Hi friends
When iam creating purchase order it trigger the workflow WS20000075 for releasing purchase order in that purpose what can i do..
How can i set the Agents
How can i trigger the events - i think in that purpose using pftc we trigger the workflow.. so i need clear steps from beginning onwards..
my exact requirement
once i create purchase order, the workflow will be triggered..
after that the mail goes to the approver.. if he/she click that mail purchase order release statement want to be open.. after that he/she release purchase order it will goes to the next level..anyone give the step by step procedure..for that
Thanks
Gowrishankar

yes prabakar.. but iam confused..
You can get step by step workflow for PO using standard workflow
Release of Purchase Order :WS20000075
And for two levels of approvals you have to configure in SPRO the path is
Purchase Order:
SPRO> Material Management->Purchasing->/Purchase order-->Release procedure ---> Procedure with classification ---> set up procedure with classification ---> double click on Release strategies and Workflow.
If you don't know about this configuration, you have to confirm with your MM consultant.
after finish this iam triggering events using pftc
in that pftc iam choosing business object bus 2012 for po release..
i think thats enuf..
After that it is possible to trigger workflow.. when iam create purchase order..
Thanks

Purchase Order Release Workflow

Hi,
I need to create the Workflow for the PO approval process. I am new to workflow.There are 4 level based on different dollar value.The email should go from one level to next for the approval.
Dollar value

11-20            level2
>20              level3
If we get Order for 25 dollar then email shoudl go to level1,level2 and level3.
My question
1 Should I copy standard PO approval workflow WS20000075 Release of purchase order into new workflow ?
2 What are the steps in configuring this - Agent assignment,tcode etc?Kindly provide details as possible.
Note- aWill be rewarded in points
Thanks
Prashanta

Hi Prashantha,
First of all, You need not have to copy and make a new workflow if the requirement is only to
approve. You can use the standard workflow.
You have to carry on the following activites:
1) Define Organisation Struture
2) Application specific customizing
     A) Define Characteristic values
     B) Define release codes and make them Workflow relevant
     C) Define release strategy
         Based on the characteristic values the Purchase Order will be applied to a particular release
         strategy and will fall under specific catagory to pass through different level of approvals
     D) Assign release codes to corresponding Orgnisational Objects with ID
3) Task specific customizing
    A) Activate the event linkage for the standard workflow WS20000075
    B) Do the agent assignment for the TS20000166
    C) Make other two tasks as General Tasks (TS20000168,TS20000167).
4) Delete the row for event "Releasestepcreated" from SWEC (OSS Notes: 797775)
Voilla !!!    You have now successfully completed. Bingo !
Please award me points as promised.
Thanks,
Deb
