Appropriation request

Dear Experts,
The MA (Marketing Expense) Appropriation request type is configured to map to MA Project Profile. However when I see in the Measures/Assets tab in appropriation request M-XXXXXX, it shows the Project Profile is CA .
Could anybody tell me what could be the reason for this?
Thanks..
Sri

Re-check the AR type once again and see which project profile is assigned. Maybe someone could have changed the project profile in AR type and created that particular AR.

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

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.

Basics: Appropriation Requests and WBS elements (3/3)

Hi,
Last question I promise!
1) Is it possible for more than one appropriation request to point at the same existing project without creating new different project.
As a solution, I though to create empty projects from AR in order to use the values of the program position they are linked to. Is this correct or are there other solutions?
With regards to the link reported below, am I right in assuming that not even the top WBS element (namely InfoSys, refer to graph in link) can be related to a program position in order to exploit the function.. or is it that only the WBS elements directly above and below it (refer to WBS:"software", in the graph) in the hierarchy should not be assigned to a program position to use the function.
Investment Management (IM) - SAP Library
This question refers to <<SAP IM ECC 6.0 SP 16>>
Grazie!
Jessica

Hi Jessica,
Can you point different AR to same project If its the same WBS answer is NO. if these are two separate WBS within the project Yes you can.
so assume you have two Level 1 WBS A and B within project XYZ. Then A can point to AR 1 and B can point to AR2.
But WBS A cannot point to AR1 and AR2. Hope it clears your doubt on 1st Question.
Why you want to do that? Whats the business rationale behind it? Usually AR is used to approve a business investment plan and it will be associated with that particular project. So the best practice in SAP is to have a one to one relationship between AR and SAP Investment Project.
On your understanding of the Graph. You are 100% correct. Neither Inf. Sys nor Software can be assigned to a Program Position ID as the WBS Application is already assigned to a Program position ID.
Hope it helps..
Regards
Sammar

Cost in a variant of appropriation request (IMA2N)

Dear All,
I need create a report that introduce costs in a variant of Appropriation Request. The cost should be introduced
with a legder account as you do in easy cost planning screen in the IMA2N transaction.
I had tried "BAPI_APPREQUEST_SETPLANVALUES" BAPI, but it doesn't allow to introduce the ledger account.
Do you know any BAPI or another thing that I can use to do this?
Thanks.

Hi Sreekanth,
Thanks for your answer, but I already had tried a BDC screen capture and an LSMW for IMA2N transaction and the Easy Cost Planning screen is not correctly captured.
Thats why I wanted to know if there is any BAPI.
Thanks and regards.

Approval of appropriation request BUS2104

Hello,
i have a problem with workflow of appropriation request approval. The problem is with background jobs. Are there any other settings about applicant and responsible person, because when the messsage for approval, rejection, posponding is triggered the system status is Error and no agent assigned. In the log file have errors WL821 and SO023.
Work item 000000394366: Object 000000394366 method SWW_BI_EXECUTE_S cannot be executed
Document <Appropriation request 4000000008 is rejected> could not be sent
Work item 000000394298: Object SELFITEM method SENDTASKDESCRIPTION cannot be executed
Object element 'RECEIVERS' has invalid internal state
Method container for work item cannot be created
Can anybody help me.
Thank's in advance!

Hi, -->> "Work item 000000394298: Object SELFITEM method SENDTASKDESCRIPTION cannot be executed
Object element 'RECEIVERS' has invalid internal state"
It seems, there is a binding issue in your email step. Just check in the workflow log for the correpsonding workitem

How to fill Functional Area on Appropriation request

Hi guys!
We faced a problem to fill standart field IMAK-FKBER (functional area) on Appropriation request. Despite the fact it exists in standart table, there are no standart ways to fill that field through IMA1N or IMA11.
However we assigned FA NG000001 to a Cost center 10000001 and defined that cost center in AR, but still after saving chnages no value changed in IMAK-FKBER?
Does anyone know which organisational units (company code, business area, functional location) effect on the value of functional area in IMAK table? Or is there other way to define FA for appropriation request?
Any help appreciated.

Hi Kir Zu,
I suspect this is an obsolete field, since it makes little sense to be derived from anything at all, while at the same time it is not on the screen.
SAP has a number of obsolete fields even in Customizing activities that allow an entry, but ignored by standard programs.
The best way to confirm it would be to look through ABAP code for AR data save. You can try to populate it with a user exit, but it also makes little sense since the field is not visible.
Also look at the function that creates WBS-element/Order from IMA11, it is passing the master data values to respective WBS/Order and your ABAPer can see if Functional Area is passed or not.
Functional Area makes sense only for Account Assignment Objects used in Financial Accounting, while AR is not an account assignment object.

Paulo

Workflow for Approval of Appropriation Request

Dear experts,
I have been working on Workflow for Approval of Appropriation Request.
Even after carrying out all the required configuration, the process is not working. Following are the symptoms:
When appropriation request is submitted for Approval, I am maintaining user ids of approvers in the Partner field.The moment I click For Approval status the Approve Button is deactivated.Even when I log in from the Approver's user ID the button is Deactivated.
When I check the Business Workplace Inboxes of Approvers there are no Workflow related mails.
please help me out
Regards,
srikanth

srikanth,
Have you maintained all the configurations related to Work flow in IMG? like activating event linkage, assigning agents, approval schema etc...
Also, have you maintained the workflow automatic configuration in transaction SWU3,
you have to maintain the following:
1. create a user id WF-BATCH, user type system and maintain a password for this user (seek BASIS team help for doing this)
2. Assign SAP_ALL & SAP_NEW in user profile tab.
3. in SWU3, under Maintain Runtime Environment --> Maintain Workflow System Administrator , select line and click on execute button, select user - WF-BATCH, save and back.
4. then in the same screen select *Configure RFC Destination * click on execute, system prompts with the user id mentioned in the above step, you enter the password mentioned in the first step, click OK.
5. now select *Maintain Runtime Environment * click on perform automatic configuration button (f9).
6. Ensure that the option Maintain Runtime Environment turns to Green tick mark.
7. select Classify Tasks as General click on perform automatic configuration button (f9).
8. Ensure that the option Maintain Runtime Environment turns to Green tick mark.
Now can go to transaction SWDD, on the left side of the screen, in the field WORKFLOW enter this value* WS00300022* press enter. Click on test (F8) button.
In the Test Work flow screen select BUS2104 line, it shows a new line at the bottom of the screen with the following options:
Object type: BUS2104, Key:
You enter the appropriation request number in the field key (you cannot directly enter value here, choose drill down option (f4) then a new window pops up, enter the approp request number, click ok.
then click on execute (f8).
Now you can check in the approver's business work place under Inbox - workflow.

Appropriation Request Workflow Not Working

Dear Friends,
I have been working on Workflow for Approval of Appropriation Request.
Even after carrying out all the required configuration, the process is not working. Following are the symptoms:
1) When appropriation request is submitted for Approval, I am maintaining Ser ids of approvers in the Partner field.The moment I set the For Approval status the Approve Button is deactivated.Even when I log in from the Approver's user ID the button is Deactivated. I believe that, it is so because once workflow is active one can not approve in master data transaction, approval has to be done thru workflow only.
2) When I check the Business Workplace Inboxes of Approvers there are no Workflow related mails.
3) I have also checked in IMA11 that the Work flow has been created.
Ne suggestion on the would be of great value.
Regards,
Seemant

I checked all these.
Still there is no success.
In the appropriation request I have maintained different users as partners ( excluding myself) partners. As per the Workflow the mail should go to inbox of these users. Work flow is getting activated but still its not geting updated in the inboxes of users.
Are there any Basis settings that I may be ignoring.
Also the object type BUS2104 is being used. In forum I have read that this object type is obsolete. May be I can change the object type to BUS2204 ( the new one). If I need to do the same, what are the settings I need to do?
Regards,
Seemant

Workflow for appropriation requests

Hi friends,
This is regarding the approval process for appropriation requests.
The necessary Event linkage activation, partner determination procedure, appropriation request types, defining of approval levels for AR and other necessary configurations. When I am clicking the "for approval" button, the workflow gets started. But the corresponding person is not getting the mail in his inbox for approval.
Please give a solution asap.
regards
Pratap.V

Hi Sreenivas,
I already did this. Still the problem exists.
Frankly speaking, I know I am making a silly mistake somewhere because I have done all the major settings required. And I am finding it difficult to trace this small mistake. It will ne good if you can send some screen shots of all the configuration required for this.

Three level release for appropriation request (IMA11)

Hi
we are using IM for budget control and within IM, appropriation request for budget approval.
we have done the necessary configuration available in IM for budget release but still system not trigering work flow once appropriation request save. we want to sent the approval request is SAP inbox.
experts are requested to revert with steps and T Code to get approval reqest in SAP mail box.
Thanks & Regards

Hello,
Once you are sure that the configuration has been done perfectly, please check whether the system is publishing the event by going through the event log(SWEL). Before checking the event log, make sure that the event trace is on in the system by using the transaction SWELS. Once the event trace is on, save the request again and check for the event in the event log by using the tcode SWEL.
Once an event is publised in the system, use the same as the triggering event for the workflow template and then use the Sendmail step to send a mail to the SAP inbox.
Hope this will help.
Thanks,
Samson
