Application Request to be approved/reject through Outlook 2010

Dear Experts
Need your suggestions / inputs in implement a requirement i.e any application (WF) request can be either approved/ rejected
through outlook 2010  instead of every time logging into application portal and then to approve or reject.

This is possible SAP workflow with extended notifications.

Hope this helps.

  • Error: "Selected request was already approved/rejected"

    Hello, 
    Recently we have upgraded the system from EHP4 to EHP7. We are using Webdynpro ABAP leave application (standard workflow). Here, at approval level, on opening any leave request item, an error "Selected request was already approved/rejected" appears. We found SAP Note 1773641 and followed the suggested steps. But the error still exists. Please suggest.
    Secondly, it is observed that if there are more than one leave request in approver's UWL, then by default the record with highest date is opened (ie. out of leave requests of 01.07.2014, 07.08.2014, 29.08.2014, every time leave record of 29.08.2014 is displayed even though any other item is selected). Is it a standard behavior or requires some settings?
    Regards,

    as UR IN ehp 7  here u cnan use POWL other than UWL ...it wud better ....what is the workflow ur using for leaves here in task ur in SWFVISU ... what are the parameters assigned to hat task in SWFVISU
    No it is not standard behaviour, go to ptarq and check in display documents what is the status of that 29.08.2014 leave type and if it approved and is updated in 20001 go to ptarq and click on delete documents and delete that already approved leave from that

  • Approve/Reject from Outlook ?

    Hi,
    I got the requirement  that Send a mail to the outlook. up to this is fine. But the user wants to take decision from Outlook itself?
    How can we maintain Approve & Reject in Outlook. How the response will come back & Effect on the BO. Please explain?

    Akash,
    There are other ways to do it but the best way is to use Extended Notifications.  If your workflow task is a User Decision (it should be) then you can make the approve/reject links show in Outlook as follows: call SWNADMIN, go to Subscriptions, select the relevant subscription, go to the Message tab, near the bottom is "Show User Decision As". Set that to "HTTP Link", save it and you should be done.
    Hope that helps!

  • Outlook 2010 address book prompt out hen trusted program try to send email through Outlook 2010

    Dear all,
      My program will send email through Outlook 2010(in cache mode). Sometime it may prompt the address book out and pend here, and we need to manually click "OK" to let the program run again. Although we re-write the program in
    Java and send by JavaMail now, but we are interested why the address book will prompt out.
      There are no pattern that we can guess the reason. Different recipient, different subject/content/have attachment or not can casue the address book prompt. But same email with same content/everythings may not cause prompt before and/or after.
      We try to change to offline address book and need manual sync, problem still occur.
      Just for interest~

    Firstly, there is no such thing as a "trusted program" to Outlook. It only trusts COM addins, all other applications will cause a security prompt unless you have an up-to-date anti-virus app installed (if you can control the client environment).
    See http://www.outlookcode.com/article.aspx?id=52 for the list of your options. Essentially it is either installing an antivirus product or using a library such as
    Redemption (accessible from Java) or a utility such as
    ExpressClickYes.

  • ICloud emails through Outlook 2010 on PC

    Hi All, I still cannot get iCloud working in Outlook 2010.  I am only interested in emails, and need to send and receive through my iCloud account while on the PC.
    I have followed every bit of advice in these messages, downloaded iCloud for PC, using Ports 993, 587, enable SSL, etc.  Nothing works.   HELP!?!?
    Peter

    OK< I got it.  For some reason, although I can still run the icloud control panel, when I looked in the programs list in control panel, the icloud was not in the list (lost registry?).   But I found a program called 'Apple Software Update'.  I ran that and it first told me there was an updated itune version and more importantly, it said there is a new software "icloud control panel version 2,1,1,'.   It is the same as I was running it but obviously it was not found or the version I have was corrupt.   So I clicked the box to download the 'icloud control panel' and allowed it to update to the new version of itunes as well (although I don't think it was needed).   Then I restarted the icloud control panel (after having to restart the computer), unchecked the 'mail, contacts, calendars & tasks with Outlook', hit Apply button, then checked it again and hit apply again.  Voila!  icloud set up the add ins again in my outlook and all was well after that.

  • Can't receive calendar request from ical (MAC) in MS Outlook 2010

    We have local calendar in outlook and ical from MAC users. Now i am not able to receive calendar/meeting request in outlook 2010 from ical (MAC) users, nor they are able to receive my calendar/meeting request.

    What's your account type in your Outlook? Does the issue only happen to meeting request? How about sending or receiveing emails?
    Please check whether the meeting request can be send and receive in Webmail. Also check whether you can send/receive meeting request from Windows users.

    Hi,
    I have set up Exchange Server 2013 on Windows Server 2008 R2. Everything is working fine except I am unable to configure Exchange account in Outlook 2010 or any other version. It says 
    "The connection to Microsoft Exchange is unavailable. Outlook must be online or connected to complete this action."

    Thanks in advance

    Hi Manoj,
    Can you ping your Exchange server? It would hlep us isolate the fault from network releated issue.
    Is there a trusted certificate installed on Exchange 2013 server?
    If you run the test of RPC over HTTP in
    https://www.testexchangeconnectivity.com/, is there any error returned?

  • I use windows on parallels. I synced my Outlook 2010 Calendar through the iCloud control panel; but when I try to update the calendar through outlook 2010, it says I don't have permission to update it ?... and thereby, fails to sync with my iCal .. ??

    Is somebody facing a similar issue... Would be glad if someone could share their views; and provide a solution if it exists
    Thanks

    It was a CCC clone, and I had 2 versions,  One that runs monthly and one I made because the computer was acting wonky.  I called Apple because the Mac gave me an error message on my Time Machine disk, telling me to copy the backup to another drive and reformat.  I was unable to copy it to the new drive because it said I didn't have the proper permissions.  After trying several things, I deleted the data and reformatted.  The drive is one of my older ones, so I suspected it was really bad. (Turns out drive is good according to Apple)  So no time machine backup.  However, I figured I had two CCC files, so there shouldn't be a problem, still thinking it was my external drive that had the issue.  Talked to Apple who finally sent me to a store.  The Genius said that it was actually the HD in the iMac that was bad.  I told them to go ahead and replace, thinking I had double backup at home, as well as an online backup system.
    I was unable to restore from the new CCC, but the older one worked, except I only got about 30% of my data.  I've been in contact with Mike Bombrich and he reviewed my logs and saw that somehow CCC did not see my photos or movies or music and deleted them from the update run that morning. Now I have about 160GB of the original 540GB of data on CCC.  I'm not a techie, but because I had problems with the TM, the CCC clones and CrashPlan that the bad HD screwed up the search/sync in some way.  I am waiting until the darn online system stops scanning my disks long enough to try to download and restore from CP, but it has been in a constant scan/sync mode for over a week.

  • Workflow Approval Through Outlook

    Hi ,
    I have a requirement to send to work item to outlook inbox so that user can Approve/reject from outlook itself instead of  logging into SAP for approval.
    Please let me know if this is possible .
    Thanks in advance ,
    Ramana

    Hello Vinoth,
    We are using STMA standard transport workflow that SAP gives for approve/reject and automate movement of transports through R/3 landscape. Now when the manager has an approval item in the inbox, he double clicks to find a pop up window open in R/3 which lets him see the next system in the landscape and confirms to move the transport to the next system.
    How can I get the same functionality to be available through portal. Is there a direct approach or should I write a custom BSP app for the same. Can the existing code be directly used in the custom BSP application.
    Please assist.
    Regards,
    Samta.

    We have of requirement for offline approval of SES through Outlook .
    We are in ECC 6.0 and when a User creates a SES a mail has to be triggereed to the aprrover Inbox.
    The manager should be able to approve or reject directly from his outlook. the manager is not a SAP User.
    Please let us know the possible alternatives to achieve this functionality,
    Any documentation will be of great help.

    Hi,
    you need to develop SAP Workflow (Extended notification) to be able to approve/reject in Outlook. There is a separate SAP Workflow forum in SDN, you might want to have a look that forum.

  • Outlook 2010 / iCloud Sync - Outlook crashing while adding address to contact

    We have a very odd problem with one client where adding an address to the iCloud contacts field through Outlook 2010 causes outlook to crash. We've tried the following and to no avail:
    Made sure Windows 7 has all updates
    Made sure Outlook 2010 has all updates
    Create new Outlook profile
    Create new Outlook data file
    Uninstall / Reinstall iCloud app and resetup sync
    The only problem I've narrowed it down to is that it is related to the Calendar & Tasks syncing in iCloud. When the Contacts sync is on ONLY it is ok; as soon as I turn on the Calendars & Tasks then it causes the crash above.
    In the meantime, I've advised the client to update the address field through www.icloud.com or on their iPhone but not through their PC.

    Update: I removed all the duplicated lines and other errors (approx. 2000 contacts) and noticed that there were varying extra spaces between city/state and state/zip, which may have caused the different sorts of errors I saw. it's possible that it started with iOS 5/Exchange on the 3GS and I hadn't realized it, my guess is that little errors that iOS4 would overlook, iOS5 and the Exchange process won't.
    I believe that the different permutations were due to the variance of the extra spaces between city/state and state/zip which seemed to have been caused by some portion of this error, although because it's pretty subtle, the spaces could have been there before and I didn't notice. I have gone through the approx 2000 contacts and removed the spaces (as well as the extra lines) and although it looks fine at a quick glance, by the time it gets to the iPhone, all of the fields besides the country field are ending up in the address field, not populating to the city, state and zip fields. I also set my MacBook to access Google as a test and as near as I can tell, the Exchange process is not adequately understanding what is a street address, what is a city, state, zip, etc., since Google doesn't have these fields separated out.
    I have also sent an email to GSyncIt support for their thoughts. I hope this is clear, I'm a little boggled at this point.

  • Outlook 2010 messages that have not been deleted are available in Recover deleted Items list

    Hello,
    Outlook 2010\Exchange 2010 SP1-clustred
    I have looked at several mail accounts through Outlook 2010 client, they are not using the cached mode, they have not emptied the trash.
    When I look in Recover deleted items I am seeing messages, mostly sent messages that are available for recovery, the problem is that these messages have not been deleted, they are
    still in the sent folder.
    I have restored one to see what will happen, it does restore to the deleted items folder.
    It seems to random messages some sent to groups some sent to a single individual
    Some Outlook 2010 clients I have checked do not show this problem, but several do including myself, I would have assumed that the Outlook 2010 client user had somehow deleted
    it and restored it causing this problem if I did not see this on my own account.
    Is this normal behavior? Perhaps some from replication or temp draft's
    Any help or information would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Since the post is over two year old, I'm not sure manotelli is still following it, but I think he is talking about something else:
    1. He starts a message and does not complete it (or send it).
    2. The message is saved as a draft pending completion.
    3. Once he completes the message and sends it, there is an autosaved version that is deleted.
    I'm not sure what relationship exists between the "draft" which (I would think) is what is ultimately sent when the message is completed and whatever is sent to the recycle bin.
    It has nothing to do with webmail (OWA) or any form of remote access.
    Please mark as helpful if you find my contribution useful or as an answer if it does answer your question. That will encourage me - and others - to take time out to help you.

  • MAPI failure Word 2013 --- Outlook 2010

    One of my clients upgraded from Office 2010 to Office 2013, but had to keep using Outlook 2010 because Xobni doesn't work yet with 2013. When she tries to send a Word 2013 document as an attachment from within Word 2013 through Outlook 2010 she gets the
    MAPI failure error message (link broken). Same document in Word 2010 works fine. Tried loading the pst into her Outlook 2013 as a test, and it worked. Seems specific to this combination. Any workaround? Manageable, but interferes with productivity and error
    prone.

    I had similar issue. I finally figured it out.
    Rename Msmapi32.dll located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\System\MSMAPI\1033
    I spent a few hours looking and found this:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/926196/en-us

    Tried this and it worked for my Windows 7 Office 2010 issues after downgrading from 2013.

  • Outlook 2010 supported by BT or not?

    I have not been able to send or receive emails all today 21st November. I have read elsewhere about a cable cutting issue and assumed I was a victim of this. I could not help phoning BT to ask about progress. When I said I cannot receive or send emails through Outlook 2010 but I am able to receive my BT yahoo emails via the webmail, I was told that BT do not support Outlook anymore, and I should use the webmail until "everyone is moved to BTmail". Has anyone else been told that Outlook is no longer supported? 
    If I can receive my BT yahoo emails through the webmail does that mean I am not affected by the "cable cutting". Or was that a red herring from BT? 

    Yes I now appreciate that point about BT and Outlook 2010 and that no advice is offered for any 3rd party email program. Unfortunately the lady said my problems were entirely related to Outlook 2010 and that I should not be using it. She advised me to use the BT Yahoo webmail service for emails "until everyone is moved to the new BTmail". When that might be was not forthcoming. 30 minutes after my conversation with BT, all my emails came pouring in via Outlook 2010. It is still working but what the problem was which lasted most of 21st November I may never know.
