Approval Hierarchy or an Approver for a MENU

Dear All,
If I divide all Standard Project Manager Responsibility's MENUs or Functions in SDLC Format in a Custom Responsibility like....
1) Initiation (label)
a. Menu 1
b. Menu 2
2) Planning (label)
a. Menu 3
b. Menu 4
c. Menu 5
3) Execution (label)
a. Menu 6
b. Menu 7
c. Menu8
In this SDLC, can we define "Approval Hierarchy" or an "Approver" for all the phases ?? So that the Project Manager needs to take Approaval before going to the Next Phase of SDLC.
Khan.

Hi
There is no standard functionality that link between responsibility menu, sub-menu, functions and the approval hierarchy of any business process.

How to implement Approval hierarchy for Sales Order in Order Management.

Hi,
We need approval process for sale orders in Order Management module. Currently we are using credit HOLD option for orders at shipping level. The issue we are facing now is we can not cancel those orders who contains Service Line item in it while on HOLD. The restriction raised at the time of cancelling the order that the Line Item is "fulfilled". Service line item's get fulfilled.
Is that any other possibility to have Approval hierarchy for Sales Orders in Order Management Module? If it is possible can anybody share the related document or implementation guide?
Thanks with anticipation in advance.
Many Regards
Kaleem Bhatti

I copied the standard order header workflow and the "Book Order, Manual" workflow to custom workflows. I then modified the "Book Order, Manual" workflow to put another completely custom workflow (call this "Approvals") in between the "Book Eligible" and "Book" steps.
The "Approvals" step assessed the sales order, changed the order header to the pending approval flow_status_code, and sent out the appropriate notifications. The "Approvals" step returned a Complete/Incomplete where complete would proceed to "Book" and incomplete would go back to "Book Eligible." The new workflow was then assigned to the order type needed. I don't still have access to that environment (job change) or I would give more definite instructions.

Hi,When I submit the budget for approval, it is approved and base lined when we submit it for approval. It does not go in approval hierarchy. We want it to flow through approval hierarchy.

Hi Amit,
if I understand correctly, you just need for a particular object a tooltip to be showed.
There is no such functionality hence you used the trick of using a hyperlink, which if clicked generates undesired behavior.
Hyperlinks don't allow themselves to be disabled, therefore if you are using that workaround you must cope with that.
I would suggest to create an Idea at [https://ideas.sap.com] for having in the properties of an object a tooltip, then post the link to the idea here and other users will vote if they like the idea.
Thanks and regards,
Simone

Approval Workflow: "Send By Email for Approval" not available in Comments Menu

Im using Acrobat 9 Pro (9.4.1) but still have Acrobat 8 Pro (8.2.5) installed as well. I'm attempting to initiate an approval workflow utilizing the approval stamps but I'm not finding the "Send by Email for Approval" option under the Comments Menu or under the Comments button in the Task bar in either version of Acrobat Pro.
Not sure what I'm missing on this end, either in the install of either version or if I, myself, am just not getting this process. The Review process is great and works as it should but I'd like to incorporate the approval process as well if possible in to our internal workflow.
Thanks.

Approval workflows are available in Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, and Korean only. Refer to http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Acrobat/8.0/Professional/help.html?content=WS62EA03B6-4B99-457 c-8A3C-06FDB463E293.html

Q: How can setup the approval hierarchy for Plan in ASCP

Hi experts,
We are implementing the ASCP. Our customer has a specific requirement about the approval hierarchy of the plan before the plan released. Can we setup the approval hierarchy for the plan in ASCP before releasing it like PO approval hierarchy.
Thanks in advance
Hieu

There is nothing out of the box to do this.
You have some customization options. It will be a little complex.
1) Write a db trigger to change the status from approved to incomplete when records are inserted into the req import table
2) Oracle provides a package which is a hook into the release process. The exact name of the package escapes me but it is something like msc_release_hook.
This package is called after ASCP puts the data in the req. table but before the req import process is launched. Add code here that changes the status to incomplete.

How to setup Cost Centres driven purchasing approval Hierarchy

Hi Guys,
My client has a Cost Centre set as a segment of their Key Flexfield
Every Approver has cost centre limited approval limit attached
Eg:
Approver AAA can approve upto 100$ for cost centre 1111 only
Approver BBB can approve upto 200$ for cost centre 2222 only
Approver CCC can approve upto 200$ for cost centre 1111 only
Required:
When Requester creates a requisition for a certain cost centre (ie cost centre 1111), oracle should build an approval list based on approval limits.
In our example:
Requestor creates requisition for 150$ for cost centre 1111
Generated Approval List: Approver AAA -> Approver CCC
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Iana

Thanks Sandeep!
My problem is not how to define approval groups (this will work!), but how to generate an approval list (or how to setup hierarchy)
Approval list should be generated from those people who can approve my cc, not my next in line manager
Eg:
when I create Req for cc 1111,
My approval list shd be: Approver AAA -> Approver CCC
when I create Req for cc 222,
My approval list shd be: Approver BBB
One solution can be to create a separate hierarchy for each CC range (ie Marketing, IT, etc) and let requestor to choose the correct hierarchy from LOV. The problem here will be that multiple hierarchies are difficult to maintain. For example, if the position for Deputy CFO changes, I have to adjust each hierarchy

Workflow approval - 'n' step BADI, Approval hierarchy problem

Hi,
Description of the issue:
For a shopping cart approval, the approver's list determined by the 'n' step approval BADI does not include the user who is the immediate in the org. hierarchy. Rather the work item goes to the superior authority (say MD) for approval, which must not be the case.
Pre-requisites checked:
1. Checked the org. hierarchy - Proper.
2. Checked the Roles maintainence for shopping cart approval - All is fine
3. Checked for approval/spend limits also - All is fine.
4. Tested BADI/Business Object - Approval Table is empty & Approver_administrator is 'WF-Admin was informed'.
5. Workflow log (technical details) - Checked in the containers for 'Approver's list'.
6. Checked table HRUS_D2 for any substitutes assigned - All seem fine.
This is the org. hierarchy,
(A - Requestor) --> (B - 1st level approver) --> (C - 2nd level approver) --> (D - MD final level approval)
The approver's list shows two names instead of 3, that is only B & D and not C. Hence the work item goes to D directly than going to C.
Please suggest.
Best regards,
Harsh Dave

hi,
Well the approver list is created from the badi for n-step approval in SRM.
If you say that approver list is empty when testing the badi, then you have to check which workflow is used in your environmennt.
It could be that someone decided to create their own logic.
so start by finding out which workflow template is used in this scenario, also you can set external break-points for users in teh approval badi which would be executed if you you use the approval preview in SRM (I'm guessing it is SRM since it sounds like it)
Kind regards, Rob Dielemans

How to create new approval hierarchy

Dear Experts, I want to know if we can create a new approval hierarchy.
I know that there is a existing seeded hierarchy. We create new process and it goes for review and finally it gets approved. But this would happen according to roles assigned to the users and that to for only two steps one is the reviewer and other is the approver, but i want that there be 2 reviewer and 3 approver, than how can i assign any further roles for the same process to be to be reviewed and approved by more people.
1) Can we create new approval hierarchy.if yes then how?
2) what will be there roles assigned to them?
3) if it can be done by rules , than what is the scripts for the same.?
4) If it can be done with perspective hierarchy then how to confirgure and what roles to assign?
Please help me with the above problem.
Regards,
Prince

This can be done, but it will require work using Flow Rules and perhaps Form Rules. This is a complex setup you're looking for, and I would recommend seeking a professional implementer to assist you. People like Oracle Consulting for GRC is available and have had success in these type of setups.

Project Approval Hierarchy

I want to setup Project Approval Hierarchy .I want to know what are the neccessary setups to do so ?

What Prasanna said is correct. Also below is the way to do the setup for this.
You need to setup the Project Type to use the Approval workflow in the Status/workflow tab of the project types window.
Also you should mention the item type and process of the workflow to be called during status change in the 'Project Statuses' form's workflow tab.

What I Tried
1. Checked the approval hierarchy -- correct
2. Ran the workflow background engine - with deferred - Y -- completed
3. Ran the fill employee hierarchy - completed
but no luck

Check the Purchase Order Approval Workflow. Query the same in Workflow Administrator.
It seem Approver B is not having authority to Approver the Document. Supervisor of B is not present or end-dated and Workflow is not able to find the Correct Approver.
Purchase Order is has dynamic Approval, in which it will not build the entire list during but will send for the next level of Approver once current approver approve the notification.
You check the setup for Approval. If its Employee Supervisor Herirachy then check for the Supervisor of B. Else check the reporting position of B's position and its setup is correct or not.
If its Position Herirachy.

Approval hierarchy to issue Minimum safety stock

Hi Guys,
We have a requirement to have an automated approval hierarchy for issuing the inventory below a safety stock limit defined. How can we achieve that. I know that there is some option as "minimum safety stock" in SAP, but we need that a workfklow to be activated when the stock reaches to this level and only after approval it should be allowd to be issued. Is it possible to implement?

Hi,
There is no approval concept in this case. But you may check the below work around, Activate availability check for the material. Then you may maintain the message M7181 as user specific and maintain it as error message for the users who are NOT supposed to issue the goods below the safety stock. Refer the thread: message to be make error for specific user id
You may create a program to find the materials with stock equal to safety stock and send the result. You may schedule the job in background with specific interval. Also refer the thread: Material alert workflow

Budget Approval Hierarchy

what are the steps to do Budget Approval Hierarchy ?

Hi,
To enable budget approval workflow:
1) Activate the check box in Project Type window for budget approval in last tab page
2) Activate the check box in Budget Type window for existing or new budget types where we need to use approval.
When budget are defined for any project (using project type defined in step 1) and budget type, then approval process is activated by default.
However the supervisor is identified based on HR definition. The approval is only one level using the default workflow.
Hope the info helps.

PO Approver and Approver Hierarchy

Hi,
Any body can give the solution to solve the following issues
1.how can we add PO Approver to particular user.
2.how can we add new approver or approvers to the approval hierarchy in PO.

It's not practical for someone to give you the navigation steps without knowing how your approvals are set in your system because the steps are different if you are using position hierarchy or direct hierarchy. The steps are also different depending on whether you have HR installed. You should check Chapter 2 "Approval, Security, and Control" of the Oracle Purchasing User’s Guide.

PO approval hierarchy working on one user and not on other

Hi all,
I am using an approval hierarchy with one preparer and one approver for Purchase order and requisition.
User A is preparer and User B approver.
Requisition hierarchy is doing fine but the Purchase Order Hierarchy gives this error on forewarding the PO..:: " PO Approval Top Process : Error, Wait for Concurrent Programme"
If i assign a different user to this Preparer, the process works fine.
What am i doing worng or what issue am i over looking.
Thanks in Advance.

Found the solution.
Apperently on this installation, my preset named RegularExport should be found with name [RegularExport].
Strange that this works on on installation.
