Appropriation Request: Status 'In process' after all approvals (IMA11)

Hello,
We are using IMA11 and associated workflow tasks to create and approve a appropriation request. Occasionally, the status of the appropriation request wouldn't change to 'Approved' even after all the approvals. When we look at the corresponding workflow, the status of the task "New status for appropriation requests" would be 'In process'. There would be no error messages shown in the workflow log and there won't be any short dumps.
The same appropriation request, when restarted for the second or third time, would complete without any issues and the status of the appropriation request would change to 'Approved'.
Can someone let me know what could be the reason for occasional failure of the appropriation request workflow?
Thanks,
Surya

Here is another issue for the same workflow approval process.
There are 4 approval levels. Identifying the agent and the approval happens in a loop.
Occasionally, the workitem fails with the message 'Work item XXXXXXXX locked by user XXXXXXX (enqueue error)' The workitem is getting locked by the previous approver. Is there any specific reason for this lock or do I need to add a wait step for each loop?
The approver, approves the workitem from his Business Workplace. I checked other threads, but I am not able to figure out a reason. These are all synchronous processes.
Thanks,
Surya

Appropriation Request Statuses

Is it possible to restrict the authorization for Appropriation Requests using just system statues.
e.g. Planner created an appr req. He should be able to change the appr req as long as the system status is 'Created'. but once he set the status to 'For Approval' and sent the appr req for approval process, he shouldn't have the flexibility to change the master data during approval process. how do i restrict this?
Is there a database table where appropriation request statuses are saved?
what would be the criterion if i had to create a custom authorization object?

Hi Ravindra,
You can achieve this with a combination of System & User Status. Do as below;
1. Create a status profile and assign to object type Appropriation request
2. Create one user status as 'Created'. Set it as initial status.
3. Create other user status as 'For Approval'. In Business Transaction screen, for transaction 'Submit for approval' tick the Radio Button 'SET'. The effect will be that as soon as user Presses 'For Approval' , this corresponding user status will be set-up automatically.
Now in this user status 'For Approval' restrict whatever Biz Transaction you want to restrict.
Any user who uses these statuses will need to have following authorization objects in their profile
1. B_USERSTAT
2. B_USERST_T

Hi Gurus,
Can anyone tell me where can I find Appropriation request status for an Appropriation request number.
Please tell me the t.code or table with field name.

Hi Mac,
You can see the status of the appropriation request thru T code IMA11. Check the status from App Req tab.
let me know if you need help.

How to Implement HTTP Request Status Code Processing

I actually have two questions. First, I wondering how to add multiple status code processing to an http request. Secondly, I was wondering how to go about using alternate http requests to different servers in case the primary server is down. What kind of parameter would the program use to determine that the server is unavailable and switch to another server??
Currently, the program I've written calls an rdf server (http://www.rdfabout.com/sparql) using a sparql query,
the server returns an xml string, the program parses it, and calculates numbers
from the string. The program works, but the problem is that the server is down occasionally.
When the server is down, we need to add calls to another server to
increase reliability. So, the next task is to call this server:
http://www.melissadata.com/lookups/ZipDemo2000.asp
I need to do exactly the same things I did with the rdf server. The
difference will be constructing a request and a bit different parsing of
the response.
current SPARQL query is defined as follows:
PREFIX dc: <http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/>
PREFIX census: <http://www.rdfabout.com/rdf/schema/census/>
PREFIX census1: <tag:govshare.info,2005:rdf/census/details/100pct/>
DESCRIBE ?table WHERE {
<http://www.rdfabout.com/rdf/usgov/geo/census/zcta/90292> census:details
?details .
?details census1:totalPopulation ?table .
?table dc:title "SEX BY AGE (P012001)" .
}current HTTP Request is defined as follows:
import java.net.*;
import java.net.URL;
import java.net.URLConnection;
import java.io.*;
import java.io.DataOutputStream;
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.StringReader;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.io.PrintStream;
import java.util.Scanner;
import java.util.regex.Matcher;
import java.util.regex.Pattern;
import java.util.Arrays;
public class MyConnection
     static Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);//allows user to input zipcode
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
         int zip;//zipcode is declared as integer format
        //User defines zip through input
        //proceed to put SPARQL query into string, which is then used to call the server
        String requestPart1 =
        "query=PREFIX+dc%3A++%3Chttp%3A%2F%2Fpurl.org%2Fdc%2Felements%2F1.1%2F%3E+%0D%0APREFIX+census%3A+%3Chttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.rdfabout.com%2Frdf%2Fschema%2Fcensus%2F%3E+%0D%0APREFIX+census1%3A+%3Ctag%3Agovshare.info%2C2005%3Ardf%2Fcensus%2Fdetails%2F100pct%2F%3E+%0D%0A%0D%0ADESCRIBE+%3Ftable+WHERE+%7B+%0D%0A+%3Chttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.rdfabout.com%2Frdf%2Fusgov%2Fgeo%2Fcensus%2Fzcta%2F";
        String requestPart2 = "" + zip; // zipcode is transformed from int to string format and plugged into SPARQL query here
        String requestPart3 =

        String response = "";
        URL url = new URL("http://www.rdfabout.com/sparql");//designates server to connect to
        URLConnection conn = url.openConnection();//opens connection to server
        // Set connection parameters.
        conn.setDoInput (true);
        conn.setDoOutput (true);
        conn.setUseCaches (false);
        // Make server believe we are form data
        conn.setRequestProperty("Content-Type","application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
        DataOutputStream out = new DataOutputStream (conn.getOutputStream ());
        // Write out the bytes of the content string to the stream.
        out.writeBytes(requestPart1 + requestPart2 + requestPart3);
        out.flush ();
        out.close ();
        // Read response from the input stream.
        BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader (new InputStreamReader(conn.getInputStream ()));
        String temp;
        while ((temp = in.readLine()) != null)
             response += temp + "\n";
        temp = null;
        in.close ();
        //parsing stuff is taken care of after here
}What remains now is to:
1) add status code processing: notify if the server is not available, ect.
2) add ability to connect to additional server if primary server is down.
I'm thinking an if/else statement, which I've tried a few different ways,
but I don't quite know how to implement that...Also trying to add the
status code processing/error handling, but I'm not sure how to do that
for multiple/different errors, such as 404, 503, 504, ect.. try/catch statements?
So yeah, just been scratching my head on this trying to figure out how to work it..
If you can help me out on this, I've been going nuts trying to figure this out...

I think your issue comes form the fact that you are not casting URLConnection to HttpURLConnection.
Doing the cast would allow you to use getResponseCode() - among other methods - and test for a response different than 200.

SRM 7.0 Purchase Order Response always in status "In process" after confirm

Hello experts,
this problem is similar to the thread [SRM-SUS Purchase Order Response always "In Status"; which has been not finally responded.
My problem exists in an environment without SUS.
When a buyer confirms a PO response (POR) without any change, the system generates a new PO response with status "In process". This new POR has also to be confirmed or rejected but the system generates again a new PO response with status "In process".
So we have a very nice loop for the purchaser without escape!
We are on SRM 7.0 SP07. The other thread mentioned that SAP will create some OSS notes, but I found nothing about this problem.
Any ideas?
Regards
Joe

Hi Gurus.
I want to share my experience with this case.
We have the same scenario, Confirm PO, the result is PO confirmed, but we receive a response from ECC and this Confirmed PO changes its status to "In Process" / "En Tratamiento".
The new relevant information is that we added 2 new fields to the item PO, these fields are filled ok and sent to ECC.
In a first time these new fields were lost due to the response from ECC. To avoid this situation I implemented the BADI BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI for BUS2230, and method BBP_SUSPO_CHANGE to copy from the BBP_PDISC (Object BUS2230) rows the values to the new rows in the same table BBP_PDISC (Object BUS2201).
With this change the new documents are confirmed directly and not changed to "In Process"/ "En tratamiento".
That was my experience, now I have a question...
In the correct business process for SAP SRM SUS when you confirm full a PO...
* this will be blocked or no?
* Can be modified the confirmed items?
* This depends of customizing?

Status of excise invoice is IN PROCESS after all the process is over.

Dear All,
We have done the migo and the Capture the excise invoice also,But still the status of the excise invoice is showing as IN Process.What could be the reason,
Please give the inputs.
Thanks in advance.
deepti

Hi,
Check the table entries for the excise invoice. First check the Part II entry correctly made in J_1IPART2 table. And also check the status of the Excise Invoice in tables J_1IEXCDTL, J_1IEXCHDR, J_1IGRXREF is posted or not (P).
If there status P is missing after Part II posting you have to make it as 'P'.

Sales Order Status "Being Processed" after completion for Free Goods Sales

Hello All,
This problem is related to Free Goods Sales which is as follows.
The process-flow for free goods sales is first we raise a sales order, then we do outbound delivery for the sales order and then finally PGI of the goods.We don't raise any invoice and the Free Goods Challan is issued to the customers by running a report.
The document flow at the end always show the Sales Order status as " Being Processed" and Outbound Delivery & PGI as "Completed".I want the system to show the Sales Order status as " Completed" and not " Being Processed".How to do that?
Please suggest some solutions.
Thanks & Regards
Priyanka Mitra

Hi Raja,
Thanks a lot for your prompt reply and suggestion.
Now we are able to get the Completed status in Document Flow.
Thanks & Regards
Priyanka Mitra
P.S. - I would request you to go through another problem which we are facing in Shipment , please go through this and suggest some solution regarding it if possible.
I have already posted this problem in a separate thread few days back but am yet to receive any fruitful suggestion.
The problem is regarding Shipment Cost Calculation while doing STO which is as follows -
In our scenario the Shipment cost calculation is done on two basis -
1) Absolute Rate / Flat Rate Wise - For example for transporting of goods from Kolkata Depot to Delhi Depot is Rs. 20,000 fixed.
2)) Gross Weight Wise - where the weight unit is kg and rate for example is Rs. 4 / Kg. So for 10 Kg the shipment cost will be Rs. 40.
Now I want the system to calculate the shipment cost on Rate / Carton Wise i.e. How will I be able to calculate the shipment cost of 100 cartons if the rate is Rs. 100/ Carton.
How to configure this ? Please help in this regard.

Request Status stays yellow after successful load

We recently started loading two infocubes from the same data source.
- The Monitor shows that the load completed normally with no errors.
- Manage on the first cube shows that the status is green and the data available for reporting.
- Manage on the second cube shows the data is not avaialble and the status is yellow.
There seems to be no problems with the load. I can manualy force the status from yellow to green and the data is available for reporting. But I don't want to have to manully change the status after each load. Any ideas on why the status stays yellow? Any thoughts on what I can do?
Thanks,
Chris

Nagesh,
Looks like your suggestion will solve this. It was not checked for the one that was staying yellow. It was checked for the cube that would go to green. I'll run a test then come back and award points.
Thanks,
Chris

Hi,
You said you are trying to do this stuff in IDES right.
If you are using IDES provided by a company and where many people play on IDES, then you can get many such issues...
This is by our experience. Today you do something in IDES and tommorow that thing or config is screwed up by others.
If you have your own IDES, then check the suggestion given by the forum Guru's.

IM Appropriation request process flow

Dear colleagues,
1. What is the process difference (or implications) between creating measures and keeping appropriation request AND creating measures and replacing AR with the measure?
2. Once AR is replaced with measure what is the point of setting further system statuses for AR like Release, TECO, Closed. They seem not to have any influence on the created measure.
Thank you.

If you do not want to use AR for budget revision or supplement then better to use the option create measure and replace AR.

While Releasing AR only it will be replaced by measure. After that no need to do any other status change for AR.

Overall Status of order Being processed after complete PGI & Billing

Dear All,
Before writing this post i tried all possible solution available on SCN & internet.
In sales order overall status (GBSTK) is Being processed after doing complete delivery and Billing.
I tried many things changed the completion rule also run the program SDVBUK00 but the status is not updated to complete.
Created 1 sales order with 1 material without any reference then done PGI for 1 material then done billing successfully.
In table VBUK / VBUP the field GBSTK / GBSTA showing Being processed, for delivery and invoice its showing completed "C".
I checked the Incompletion Log also there is nothing pending.
Please refer screenshots and provide me solutions.
Thanks in advance.
Tarun Kumar

There is no additional schedule line.
I have taken 1 quantity and it confirmed.
I change the completion rule also but no luck.
