Approval document in cProjects 4.0 through Smartforms
Hi all,
Is there any way to manage approval documents in cProjects through smart forms instead of Adobe Server (AIF)?
If so, is there any documentation for configuring it that way?
Thank you very much in advance!
Kind regards,
Isabel
J,
Sorry, I don't leave my email address up except for brief periods when I'm looking for someone to use it. Since Peter has your email, I'm sure he will sort that issue out for you. Meanwhile, I'll give you some additional information on posting screen shots.
Any of the photo hosting sites will work. I'm currently using Photobucket as I've found it to be more reliable than others that I've tried. The site will guide you through the upload process. Then it will offer you several options for sharing your "photo". Choose the HTML option. Copy that HTML code and paste it here. That's all there is to it.

CProject 4. 0 Document Approval Document Error
Hi All,
We have the configuration that was working fine for Phase Approval in cProjects 4.0.
I am having a look at it as we are getting <b>You can not begin approval without an approval document</b> error message on click of Begin Approval button.
Though I have not checked ADS (Note - 944221), this does not seem to be ADS problem as the Document with decision as Granted gets displayed properly.
I create New Approval by adding approver, after click of Begin Approval, then the error message gets displayed.
Configuration seems OK as it was working fine few days ago.
Also looking at note 874054 (Is it only for cProjects 3.1 ?)
The only thing which I am doubtful about is, in configuration Activate Forms Per Project Type where I need to deactivate the smartform DPR_APPROVAL_HIER, which is set to Active (i will deactivate and test again). Also the PDF Print form DPR_APPROVAL_HIER is set active.
Thanks in advance....Hi Bushan,
try this ,
In c project configuration --> Activate From per Project Type
--->you ACTIVATE the PDF FORM
---> DEACTIVATE the smart form
for DPR_APRROVAL_HIRE FORM
thanks

CProjects - Approval Document for a Task
Hi,
Is it possible to create some approval scenario for a task in cProject.
There are some tasks which need cost approval. Can anyone recommend an easy to implement solution using the standard by either reusing approval document or attaching a BW report with a task.
kind regds
VishalHi Thomas,
I do understand and agree with your opinion. The issue is that we need to get an object approved that is not a phase in the main project definition. So just wondering if we can create this object as a phase under a subproject definition - This is just to avoid these huge modifications. So if we can treat a task as a phase of the subproject and trigger the approval of this, do you see any issues technically ? (Though there are issues in functional design, but they would outnumber the benefits if it can be realised ?)
Cheers

CProjects Phase Approval : Approval Document does not exist
Hello,
I am trying to approve a phase in cProjects 4.0 (WD ABAP Based).
When I goto Approval Tab --> Approval Document, it displays:
Approval Document does not exist
I have checked the configuration and everything looks correct.
For Project Type I have activated the Form DPR_APPROVAL_HIER
The ADS is configured properly.
I also checked Note 874054 - You cannot start approval w/o approval document, and the config is as per this note.
What else can be likely reasons for this problem.
Any help is appreciated.

CProjects task confirmation through CATS
Hi all,
We are on ECC6.0. We want to confirm tasks in cProjects through CATS. We've made the required settings in the data entry profile for CATS, and in the Project Type of cProjects.
We are not using any approval procedure in CATS for time recording and release. However, on saving the timesheet, there are no confirmation documents posted in the table DPR_CONF_LI.
Are we missing anything? Please suggest.
Regards,
Vivek PandeyHi Amit,
I don't have any specific documents for cProjects & CATS integration. However i am describing few steps for integration point of view.
There are essential four condtions, which influence the items in time sheet
1. The customizing of the CATS Data Entry Profiles must be set correctly.
2. The Link between the personal numer (Cat2) and Business Partner (cProject) must be maintained correctly.
3. The business partner must be assigned to a role or task within the used time period
4. The involved cProject objects (role or task) must have a accounting assignment.
Apart from this, your data entry profile for time entry need to be configured properly.
Hope this will help you.

Duplicating An Approved Document
Hi Experts,
I have a scenario which is described below.
A PO was generated which has gone through the approval procedure and has been approved. The originator has added the approved document and saved it.
Now, the originator has to release another PO which has same materials as in the Approved PO. When the originator is duplicating the document it gives duplicates the PO but then the Vendor Code and Vendor Name fields are both disabled. Which does not allow the Originator to select the new vendor for the duplicated document.
Any thoughts on this.. Is this a bug or the functionality is right as per SAP?
Regards
Rohan S. KambleHi Gordan, Rahul,
My SAP B1 Version is 8.8 PL 10.
Rahul:
Yes with normal PO there is no such issue. Thats why i specified Approved PO. There is certainly an issue with the Approved PO's.
Could any one please reconfirm if the behavior is occurring for PL 10?
Regards
Rohan S. Kamble

SarvodayaHi,
Check with following Tests:
I ABAP:
1. Use transaction SA38 to execute the program FP_TEST_00.
Detailed information about this test program and about how you should then proceed is given in the Adobe Document Services Configuration Guide in the Help Portal under:
http://help.sap. com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/37/504b8cbc2848a494facfdc09a359b1/frameset.htm -> Adobe Document Services Configuration Guide -> Configuring the Web Service -> Securing Access to the Web Service ->Configuration Check -> Configuration Check for PDF-Based Forms in ABAP
o If the FP_TEST_00 form is displayed in the print preview, the ADS configuration is correct.
-> Check your application program that contains the call for the form, and the form itself, for possible errors See point 5 for further information.
o If the system displays an error message instead of a form, the configuration of ADS is incorrect.
-> Carry out the additional tests from point 2 onwards.
2. Use transaction SA38 to execute the program FP_PDF_TEST_00.
This enables you to check the RFC connection to ADS (see the reference to the documentation given above).
o If the system displays the version number of ADS, the configuration of the RFC connection is correct.
-> Proceed to point 4.
o You receive one of the following error messages:
1. If the system displays dialog fields for user and password instead of the version number, the entries for user and password in the RFC connection do not match the entries in user management.
-> Check the user and the password. Continue with point 3.
2. The system displays a "SYSTEM ERROR" with the following text:
"ERROR CODE : 100.101
ERROR MESSAGE : SOAP Runtime Exception: CSoapExceptionTransport : HTTP send returned with status code"
-> Contact your system administrator and ask them to check or correct the details for target device, service number and path prefix in the RFC connection (transaction SM59).
3. If the system displays an error message stating that there is no valid HTTP connection, then there is no RFC connection to ADS.
-> Contact your system administrator and ask them to correct or create the RFC connection (transaction SM59).
3. Check the user and password of ADS
Requirement: In order to carry out this test, you must know the user and password for ADS. If you do not know this information, contact your system administrator and ask them to carry out the test.
A detailed description about the procedure is contained in the documentation for the Adobe Configuration Guide at:
http://help.sap. com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/37/504b8cbc2848a494facfdc09a359b1/frameset.htm -> Adobe Document Services Configuration Guide -> Configuring the Web Service -> Securing Access to the Web Service ->Configuration Check -> Configuration Check for PDF-Based Forms in ABAP -> Checking the User and Password
o If the system displays the version number of ADS, the configuration of the user and password is correct.
-> Proceed to the next point (4).
o If the system does not display a version number (the page in the Web browser does not change, and submit continues to be displayed), the configuration of ADS is incorrect.
-> Contact your system administrator and ask them to correct the configuration for the user and password.
4. Check the settings for the destination service
To use the destination service on AS Java, settings are required on AS ABAP and AS Java. Therefore, this test contains several steps.
4. 1 In your ABAP system (transaction SA38), call the FP_CHECK_DESTINATION_SERVICE program (available as of NW2004s SPS 08).
a) First of all, execute the program without selecting the option "With Destination Service".
The system processes a test form in the background and displays the size of the generated PDF. It does not use the destination service in the process.
b) Now select the option "With Destination Service" and execute the program again. The system processes the test form, using the destination service.
o If the system displays the same message (file size of generated PDF) as it does in a), the configuration of the destination service is correct.
-> Proceed to the next point (5).
o If the system issues an error message, the configuration of the destination service is incorrect.
-> Carry out tests 4.2 to 4.4.
4. 2 Check whether the /default_host/sap/bc/fp and /default_host/sap/bc/fpads ICF services are active. (transaction SICF). If this service is not active, activate it. Note: As of NW2004s Support Package Stack 12, when you bundle in distributed systems (in other words, for "non-double-stack installations"), it is optional to use the fpads ICF service
4.3 Check the settings for the ICF service.
a) Enter the following URL in your Web browser:
http://<server>:<port>/sap/bc/fp/form/layout/fp_test_00.xdp
< server> is the AS ABAP, <port> is the HTTP port of the AS ABAP. (you can determine this information using transaction SICF).
b) In the dialog box for the user, enter ADS_AGENT and the relevant password.
o If the ICF service settings are correct, the browser displays the layout information of the FP_TEST_00 form in XML format.
-> Proceed with point 4.4.
o If the browser displays an error message instead of the XML file, a configuration error occurred.
-> Check whether the user ADS_AGENT exists on the AS ABAP, and if the user has the required authorizations and roles (SAP_BC_FP_ICF).
4.4. Check the settings for the destination service on AS Java
a) Call Visual Administrator and navigate to Services -> Destinations
(detailed instructions are available on the Help Portal at: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/37/504b8cbc2848a494facfdc09a359b1/frameset.htm ->Adobe Document Services Configuration Guide -> Configuring the Web Service -> Securing Access to the Web Service -> Creating or Changing the Destination Service)
b) Extend the setting in field URLunder Connection Settings to:
http://<server>:<port>/sap/bc/fp/form/layout/fp_test_00.xdp
(The <server> and <port> that are already available refer to the AS ABAP.)
c) Choose 'Save and Test'
d) The system calls the ABAP system that stores the form templates.
o If the settings are correct, the system issues the message: "HTTP GET response code 200 Content Type/xml."
-> Proceed with point 5.
o If the system issues an error message, the configuration of the destination service is incorrect.
-> Contact your system administrator and ask them to correct the settings for the destination service.
e) Do not forget to change the URL back to http://<server>:<port>.
5. Generated PDF with additional information
Call your form and save the generated PDF with additional information locally. You receive a PDF with attachments, which enable you to analyze the problem in detail.
Information about the PDF with additional information is available in the problem analysis guide (PAG) for SAP NetWeaver (TM) at:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/71/7ffb3f6c78ee28e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm ->Usage Type Application Server Java -> Problem Analysis Scenario for Adobe Document Services -> Adobe Rendering Error
Setting using transaction SFP
For more information about how to proceed if you use the dialog box in transaction SFP to set this function, see the documentation for SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe in the SAP Help Portal at:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/37/47a2be350c4ac8afe36b691203971f/frameset.htm
(You can display the document in German at: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/de/37/47a2be350c4ac8afe36b691203971f/frameset.htm)
-> SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe -> PDF-Based Print Forms -> Calling Forms in an Application Program -> Saving Runtime Information and a Generated PDF Locally
Setting using user settings
You can also use the user settings to activate the function "PDF with Additional Information". Proceed as follows:
1. Call transaction SU3 ('Maintain User Profile') or SU01 ('User Maintenance').
Note that you require the relevant authorization for the user maintenance of other users.
2. Choose the tab page 'Parameters', and enter the required parameters and values:
FPTRACELEVEL = 04
Setting the trace to the value required for the local saving of runtime information and for the generation of the PDF that contains additional information.
FPTRACEFILE = <directory>\<file name>
File for the local saving of runtime information This specification is optional.
FPSAVEERRORPDF = X
The system generates a PDF that contains additional information.
FPERRORPDFFILE = <directory>\<file name>
File for locally saving the PDF that contains additional information
Caution: Local saving is possible only for applications that have a GUI connection, and therefore, this is not supported for Web Dynpro ABAP.
3. These values then have a fixed assignment to the user.
Reset these values after troubleshooting is completed.
-> Attach these files (PDF with attachment) to a message with the component BC-SRV-FP, including a precise description of the problem.

DMS: entering document from cProjects
Hi,
When I try to view documents from cProjects the file type is unknown. This goes for e.g. excel. For word it is okay. I think I may not have the correct entries in the customizing activity: Define application, but I do not know what to enter. I specially think of the activity Define application for workstation in network. When I open the documents from Easy DMS it is no problem.
In advance thanks for answering.

Approval Procedure Question - changing an Un approved document or Approver
Here is my situation. I have set up an approval Stage with 1 approval necessary for Credit Memos.
From time ot time, the approver needs to change the Credit Memo before apporving.
Also, from time to time, the Originator of the Credit Memo needs to change the credit memo BEFORE it has been approved.
From what I gather,
1) The Approver can not change the Credit Memo BUT can Add the Credit Memo but only after approving it.
2) The Originator of the Credit Memo can not change the Credit Memo unless it has been rejected, and then it is not an easy task to find where the document can be changed.
3) Any manipulation of the documents from either the Approval Status reportor the Approval Decision report is not possible.
Am I missing something here or is there an easy way to modify a pre approved document?
Thanks in advance
DanaActually what I am trying to accomplish is have all Credit Memos approved. I at the same time would like the person who is approving th eCredit Memo also make changes to the Credit Memo if changes need to be made. The end user does not issue a Credit Memo (Update) until the goods are received back at their facility and checked. At that time, they would like the approver make the necessary adjustments if necessary and them update the Credit Memo. I find it a bit cumbersome to have to send that Credit Memo back to the Origonator to be adjusted and then send it back for approval.
Am I missing something here? Is it possible for the apporver to not approve it and then make th changesand then update it?
Any other sugestions on how to handle this situation??
BTW Thanks for the quick responses!!

How to handle PSW approval task in project server 2013 through declarative workflow VS 2013
Hello,
Plz explain in detail handling PSW approval task in project server 2013 through declarative workflow VS 2013
bcoz when using am posted on with this error when i try to approve the item
"This list item has not been created by the workflow.you cannot apply this content type"
any help would be appreciated!!!!
Thanks regards, Vignesh.I am also experiencing issues with this. After the approval task is completed, the Workflow gets cancelled with the following message
RequestorId: 60d96368-4cb4-b059-8086-604972a92e60. Details: System.Collections.Generic.KeyNotFoundException: The given key was not present in the dictionary. at Microsoft.Activities.Hosting.Runtime.Subroutine.SubroutineChild.Execute(CodeActivityContext context)
at System.Activities.CodeActivity.InternalExecute(ActivityInstance instance, ActivityExecutor executor, BookmarkManager bookmarkManager) at System.Activities.Runtime.ActivityExecutor.ExecuteActivityWorkItem.ExecuteBody(ActivityExecutor executor, BookmarkManager
bookmarkManager, Location resultLocation)
All other desired workflow actions work as expected. Emails are sent, project is moved from stage to stage, however as soon as the workflow approval task is completed, either Approved or Rejected, the Internal Status is changed to Canceled and the
workflow fails.
What is interesting is when the Approval task is completed, the approver will receive an email notification that the task was CANCELLED or DELETED....
not COMPLETED, which is what would be expected.
Has anyone seen this - any potential resolution? -
Electronic signature while approving documents
Dear experts,
I have a client who is validating its SAP B1 implemented system in compliance with FDA 21 CFR part 11 (electronic records and electronic signatures).
Can any one please describe how SAP business one treats electronic signature while approving documents? because in FDA 21 CFR part 11, it requires electronic signature on approval of certain documents which must contain 'the name of the signer, 'time and date stamp' and the 'meaning (such as approve, review, verify) associated with the signature' plus the traceable record of electronic signatures.
Furthermore, it also require a 'password' or user id of the signer' at the time of signing the document. In B1, it does not ask for user id / password at the time of approval and simply rely on login id / password. If user is already logged in, B1 simply allow the approver to approve a document and does not prompt for user id / password again.
Can we fulfill the signing requirement in SAP Business one? and modify or customize B1 in such a way that it starts prompting for user id / password at the time of approving the document too?
Any help is highly appreciated>
Thanks in advance,
FarhanClosing it

Workflow for approving documents: rejected document
Hi expert colleagues,
at my client we are implementing the workflow functionality for approving documents (EhP2). I managed quite easily to set-up the basic workflow as described in the documentation. I have one question though, the problem is the following:
Step 1: a correction document is entered by the corporate consolidation team person 1 and a workflow is triggered
Step 2: the document is rejected by the approval agent of the consolidation unit
Step 3: the rejected document becomes available for person 1 of the consolidation team, but the person is not present that day. Another person of the consolidation team wants to pick-up the rejected document, adjust it and start the workflow again. This seems to be impossible, the rejected document can only be modified (or discarded) by person 1. Even if person 1 identifies a substitute, the substitute cannot change the rejected document.
Question: is there a way to let another person pick up a rejected document?
Thx, ewaldHi,
you can probably assign multiple approval agents to one consolidation unit. But in the case there is a rejection by one of the agents the document goes back to the initiator.
The document initiator can only discard or change the document via the consolidation monitor, task manual posting. And the initiator is the only one who seems to have the power to call up a rejected document (in that way it looks a bit as a user specific held document).
Any extra thoughts or should I look on the workflow forum?

Creation of document in CProjects which is sent to DMS system
Hi all,
I am trying to create a document in CProjects which would be linked to the DMS system. When I try to create a document with reference to another the document number is coming blank. I even tried transfering the doucment after save.
Actually I am trying to see the cycle from creation of Documents in CProjects portal to the creation of Document in the DMS system. I need to make customised changes to the Document in DMS while creation of the same.
Please help me regarding the same.
Thanks & Regards,
Niranjani.Hi Niranjani,
you can handover a document from cProjects to SAP DMS and vice versa.
Therefore you need some customizing settings: SPRO -> Cross application components -> define document types -> select one document type -> define object links -> define document type, object link (DPR_OBJLNK).
In addition you need the following setting: -> Integration with other mySAP components -> cProjects -> SAP DMS integration -> Specify document types -> define system, defaultDMS document type and status.
You can find details in the help portal at the following link:<a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_ppm400/helpdata/en/93/bb23fde82147698d4f50f90cca1e95/content.htm">help</a>
Now you can do the following: On tab SAP DMS in cProjects you can create a new DIR as a container (create > create link to new document info record -> continue -> select document type -> SAVE). The DIR is created when you save the project. (You can also do this in the cProjects template, so with every new project this DIR is created automatically)
Then select the container and press transfer documents -> project definition -> continue -> select the documents in cProjects you want to hand over -> press copy to dms -> save documents.
When you now press the button display document structure you should see the new DIR in SAP DMS you just created.
Best regards,
Daniel
