Approval for Deviation from Budget

Hi, We are implementing the approval workflow for our budgets. I am testing the SAP deviation from budget template in 8.8. However, it appears to only activate when it deviates from the annual budget. Can I set an approval process for when the document deviates from the monthly budget?
Or better yet, is there a way to set the approval process for all documents that have a GL account associated with a budget so the controller can approval all expense related documents.
Thanks,
Jane

Hi,
Yes possible. Try under General settings--->BP tab.
Thanks & Regards,

Approval for deviation from credit limit

Hi Guys
Approval for deviation from credit limit does not work in the following scenario.
Credit Limit = R20000
Balance = 0
Sales order added for R18000, no approval needed as less than credit limit.
Then user changes the Sales order amount to more than the credit limit and no approval is activated.
Any ideas? They are on 2007A SP 01 PL 7
Thanks

Hi,

"Deviation from Budget" warning problem

Hi all!
             I don't understand how budget deviation is calculated.
             Here is what I do:
             1) I defined a budget for a G/L account in the current fiscal year
             2) I have set that budget deviation to be calculated for annual budgets only
             3) I create a sales order with one item - the price of the item is $400 and quantity is 1
             4) I set a discount for the sales order item - 50% meaning the item will be sold for $200
             5) When I press the "Add" button at the bottom of the "Sales Order" form a message pops up warning me that there is a deviation from the defined budget.
             That seems OK.
             Now I repeat steps from 1 to 3. Step 4 however is different.
             4) Instead of defining a discount for the sales order item I define a discount on the whole order - again it is 50%
             5) When I press the "Add" button at the bottom of the "Sales Order" form no message box appears and the sales order is created
             Why is that? Shouldn't there be a message box like in the previous case?
            Any help will be appreciated.
Regards, Yavor
PS: If I skip step 4 and proceed to step 5 a warning message box appears so I don't understand what the overall discount does to budget deviation.

Approval Query for Receipt from production

Hi experts,
I want to define an approval process for receipt from production.
The condition is below:
Only if it is " Receipt from production" then the goods receipt document should go to approval of quality.
If is any unplanned direct goods receipt then system should allow to add it straightly.
To do so, Please provide me the required query.
regards
Ravindran Srinivasan

Hi Ravindran,
I once encounter same problem like this. And I found out that, unfortunately, approval procedure can't work on receipt from production document.
Yes, we all know that receipt from production and inventory goods receipt are actually same object type in SAP B1 and stored in same table. But, try it by yourself in your testing database, even if you apply the approval templates for goods receipt document, and you apply the condition as "always", you won't get prompted for approval if you try to add the receipt from production document.
However, I said this based on my experience with version prior to 8.81 and 8.82. But somehow I have a strong feeling that this issue still not yet realized by SAP.

Distribution channels deviate from each other.70 /or 10 (reference), Message no. V2011

I have a problem when create the "Credit memo request" doc. type CR, reference doc. is billing doc. and my sales doc. that i did the billing doc. sales area is 2100/10/71 and i have to create cr doc with reference to billing doc. and sales area should be 2100/70/99 but while i creating cr doc. with reference to billing doc. system gives error distribution channel deviate from each other 70./or 10 (reference).
I have seen the early post but there where no proper solution on it.
please provide me solution i have to create cr doc. with reference to billing doc. and simply meaning with different distribution channel and division from preceding doc.
Thanks
Regards,
Abhijeet

Hi man,
The thing is that the credit memo with reference is precisely affect the balance of the Customer - Sales Area, imagine a Report by Sales Area saying the total Sales Amount of the Sales Area is 1 million, but then you turn to another sales area and discover that the same customers have credit notes for 1.5 million, insane. The purpose of referencing the credit/debit memos is that, not to lose track, including Sales Areas. Otherwise make no sense to create it with reference, just create a Credit Memo with the customer you want to affect in the sales area you want to affect, no reference. For audit purposes justify the document based on REASON FIELDS and approvals, let me explain this a little more:
One single person CANNOT create Credit Memos, cos this could lead to wrong ethical behavior, to avoid this some companies recommend to have more than one person involved in the process of Credit notes creation, what I've done on this situation is: provide access to one person to CREATE Credit/Debit memos using the standard transaction VA01, in the settings of the Sales Order Type I customize that the document will be created automatically blocked for billing (can use a UserExt to always have this field populated on the creation). This person WONT have access to modify Credit/Debit notes (VA02) but his supervisor will and this supervisor is responsible to approve and modify the blocking field to release the doc for billing. Yes, he can also change the amount but you will already have the log of changes in place for audit purposes.
This is more than a technical issue, a process issue. My kind suggestion is to challenge the business and get clearly why they want to have a referenced Credit Memo without using the Sales Area of the based Billing Doc.
Hope it helps...
Saludos!

Check for Maintenance Cost Budgeting

Dear All,
From EHP 5, there is one button in Order create/change screen called "Check for Maintenance Cost Budgeting", but couldn't find any documentation regarding it. I want to know total functionality of that button. Can anyone help me regarding this?

From Solution Browser:
Functionality Enhancements
For critical, high-value maintenance orders, it is essential for the planner to check to see if enough budget provision is available for maintaining a technical object. Based on the results, the planner can request approval for the order and the cost controller can approve the work. The budget forecast is retracted from the maintenance cost budget. Actual utilization is calculated based on past orders and work in progress.

Approval for exceeding credit limit for particular bussiness partners

Hi Experts,
I am trying one approval for the Business partners for credit limit exceed.I have tried through standard Approval process by using the terms deviation from credit value as described but what should be done if i need to set it for particular business partners.
Also, in this standard query which i have tried i have defined the terms as :-
Deviation from credit limit greater than or equal to 50,000 . I have set this terms for A/R Invoice. Now when i have made the invoice for rs.5000 then also it is asking for Approval.Since the Value is defined so system should not ask for approval.
Regards-
Mona.

Hi Mona,
You may try this. It may help you..
select true from ocrd where
((balance < 0) or (balance + $[$29.0.NUMBER]) < 0) and cardcode = $[ordr.cardcode]
use squere brackets near $ sign open and close both brackets insted of round brackets.

Quality notification for deviation

Dear Experts,
Can anyone brief the steps for allowing deviation for a product in inspection type:01?
how to get approval in SAP using QM01?
VRMP

Hi,
Enter trasaction QM01 and select the notification type A3
then enter the material document or p.o number;if both are not available still go inside the notification.
enter the material code for which you want deviation ; after that in subject tab enter the description for the approval, in Item tab enter defect and cause if any
then on next subject screen enter Department resp ,coordinator ,priority and Quantity and save the notification; after that from change mode send it to the respective authority from which u want approval.
it will go to his Inbox for approval,
then he will go to the change mode of that notification select Decision tab and then go to action box of that notification and click on special approval link and approve your deviation; for writing any other instruction long text is there; if any inspection lot is pending for this approval the approver can directly give usage decision from that action box screen and then send back notification to the co ordinator
I think all your doubts are cleared now if any left please revert back
Thanks

New server and/or CA certificate for connection from custom authentication

We are running Access Manager version 72005Q4 in the Sun ONE Web Server 6.1SP5 B06/23/2005 container with java build 1.5.0_07-b03. I run a custom authentication module which checks sessions against our university single sign on system which is CAS (from Yale/Jasig). The checks are essentially https calls. All this has been working well for us for the last couple of years.
I would like to migrate the certificate used on the university CAS system from a Verisign certificate to a wildcard certificate issued by the IPS CA in spain -- these are in most browsers but are not in the standard batch of cacerts CA's -- and are free for .edu domains.
My other java based authentication plugins (Blackboard, custom apps etc) have worked fine once I import the certificate into the cacerts for the java container, but I'm missing something (obvious probably) about importing this certificate so that my amserver custom authentication module can connect to the CAS server once the CAS server is using the new certificate.
Could anyone provide guidance on where I need to import this server certificate (or preferably the IPS CA) in order to allow the custom authentication module to work properly? I assume this same problem has been solved by people wishing to connect from the amserver to services with self signed certificates. For some reason I'm finding the debugging unexpectedly difficult, I'll outline some of those details below.
Relevant things I've tried so far:
Import both the server cert and the IPS CA into the cacerts of the java container identified in the web server server.xml /usr/jdk/entsys-j2se.
Import the IPS CA into the web server cert8 style db via the web admin server.
The debugging has surprised me a bit, as I'm not getting an error that is explicitly SSL related error. It almost seems like the URLConnection object ends up using a HttpURLConnection rather than an HttpsURLConnection and never gives me a cert error, rather a connection refused since there is no non SSL service running on CAS. The same code pointed to the server running the verisign cert works as expected.

The relevent bit of code from the SecureURL.retrieve looks as follows:
URL u = new URL(url);
if (!u.getProtocol().equals("https"))
throw new IOException("only 'https' URLs are valid for this method");
URLConnection uc = u.openConnection();
uc.setRequestProperty("Connection", "close");
r = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(uc.getInputStream()));
String line;
StringBuffer buf = new StringBuffer();
while ((line = r.readLine()) != null)
buf.append(line + "\n");
return buf.toString();
} finally { ...
The fact that this same code in other authentication modules running outside the amserver (in other web containers as well, tomcat and resin for example) running java 1.5 works fine with the new CA, as well as with self signed certs that I've imported into the appropriate cacerts file leads me to believe that I'm either importing the certificate into the wrong store, or that there is some additional step needed for the amserver in the Sun Web container.
Thank you very much for any insights and help,
Ethan

I thought since this has had a fair number of views I would give an update.
I have been able to confirm that the custom authentication module is using the cert8 db defined in the AMConfig property com.iplanet.am.admin.cli.certdb.dir as documented. I do seem to have a problem using the certificate to make outgoing connections, even though the certificate verifies correctly for use as a server certificate. This is likely a question for a different forum, but just to show what I'm looking at:
root@jbc1 providers#/usr/sfw/bin/certutil -V -n "FSU Wildcard Certificate" -d /opt/SUNWwbsvr/alias -P https-jbc1.ucs.fsu.edu-jbc1- -u V
certutil: certificate is valid
root@jbc1 providers#/usr/sfw/bin/certutil -V -n "FSU Wildcard Certificate" -d /opt/SUNWwbsvr/alias -P https-jbc1.ucs.fsu.edu-jbc1- -u C
certutil: certificate is invalid: Certificate type not approved for application.
root@jbc1 providers#/usr/sfw/bin/certutil -M -n "FSU Wildcard Certificate" -d /opt/SUNWwbsvr/alias -P https-jbc1.ucs.fsu.edu-jbc1- -t uP,uP,uP
root@jbc1 providers#/usr/sfw/bin/certutil -V -l -n "FSU Wildcard Certificate" -d /opt/SUNWwbsvr/alias -P https-jbc1.ucs.fsu.edu-jbc1- -u C
FSU Wildcard Certificate : Certificate type not approved for application.
So it could be that I don't understand how to use the certutiil to get the permissions I want, or it could be that using the same certificate for both server and client functions is not supported -- though you can see why this would be a common case with wildcard certificates.
BTW for those interested, it did seem to be the case that when the certificate failure occurred that the attempt was then made by the URLConnection to bind to port 80 in cleartext even though the URL was clearly https. I'm sure this was just an attempt to help out misformed URL, but it seemed that the URLConnection implementation in the amserver would swapped traffic over cleartext if that port had been open on the server I was making the https connection to; that seems dangerous to me, I would not have wanted it to quietly work that way exposing sensitive information to the network.
This was why I was getting back a connection refused instead of a certificate exception. The URLConnection implementation used by the amserver is defined by java.protocol.handler.pkgs=com.iplanet.services.comm argument passwd to the JVM, and I imagine this is done because the amserver pre-dates the inclusion of the sun.net.www.protocol handlers, but I don't know, there maybe reasons why the amserver wants it own handler. I only noticed that this is what was going on when I as casting the httpsURLConnection objects to other types trying to diagnose the certificate problem. I would be interested in hearing if anyone knows if there is a reason not to use sun.net.www.protocol with the amserver.
After switching to the sun.net.www.protocol handler I was able to get my certificate errors rather than the "Connection Refused" which is what lead me to the above questions about certutil.

Report - who is the current approver for purchase requisition

Hi Experts
Is there a report that can give information the status / who is the current approver for purchase requisition?
currently if we open the PR directly, we can only know the release strategy, release code, status of approver, but we cannot have the information who is the person that should approve this PR.
Thanks in advance
Prashanth.v

Hi All.
Unfortunately we want to have this information for our end user, and they will not have the access to SE16.
Another thinks is from CDHDR we will have the information if changes are made in PR. So it will give information user that already approve the PR
What we want to have is a report of outstanding PR (not yet released) that have information who is the user (the user complete name / user id) that should approve the PR.
Thanks In Advance
