Approval Hirarchy

Hi Gurus,
My requirment is having a multi level approval hirarchy in Move Order,
How is it Possible?
Regards,
M.U.Shankar

I think the only way to get this is by customizing INVTROAP (INV: Move Order Approval) workflow.
Standard functionality includes only the possibility that a Move Order could be approved after a Time out period you can indicate in the organization parameters. You could also decide that a move order must be automatically rejected after the time out period.
The standard workflow send a message to the material planner. If the material planner is also the requestor, the Move Order is automatically approved. If the approver doesn't answer, the system will automatically send a reminder. After the time out has expired, the proper indicated action is undertaken (automatically approve or reject).

Please note he is able to reject the request though , only in case of approving i see the below error .
Though it shows in the logs as warning but on the approval UI , it throws an error . ie ."An Error Occured "

Error while approving Leave request

Hi,
I am facing an issue while approving the attendance request of an employee via MSS. The error message comes for the leave request further in the queue.
Error Message : No read authorization for infotype 2001/5006(Annual Leave) for employee number between 07.06.2010 and 07.06.2010
Hoping for the early response.
Thanks!

I guess there is problem with the managers ID and the authorizations.
Try to check in SU53 and speak to security team to run the trace and provide the necessary authorizations

Approval Authorization for Sales Order

Dear Experts,
Can anybody help me by providing a user query for Approval templete for the following condition.
The system should prevent the sales order & Delivery when the customer is having one oustanding invoice above 90 days and the balance due for that invoice is less than Rs. 100
Regards,
Srinivas

Hi Gordon,
Thanks for your effort. I am getting the approval window after the sales order . ie at delivary it is asking me for approval and also for every delivary it is asking even the customer doesn't have any outstanding. if the approval process activates during SO genaration time ..then this will be helpful.
If any previous invoice having outstanding balance >100 and if it exceeds 90 days then it should ask for approval. But the system should not check the Customer account balance.

Srinivas

Approval for Sales Order

Hi All,
Is it possible for me to set an approval procedure on sales order in case the user forgets to fill in the remarks column??? please help with the query.
Thanks in advance,
Joseph

Hai!
If, your requirement is block users to add SO without remarks, then u do with Strored Procedure.
if @transaction_type = 'A' and @object_type = '17'
begin
if exists(select T.docentry from ORDR T where T.docentry = @list_of_cols_val_tab_del and
(T.comments is null or T.Comments=''))
begin
SET @error = 17
SET @error_message = N'Enter the Remarks'
end
end
Add this code in SP_TransNotification of your company DB.
Please test it in a test system and put in Live

Query Based Approval Procedure for Sales order .

Hi
I have created query for SO which results above 5000 d 50,000 .
By using this each query i created two seperate Approval Procedures which So is >5000 d >50000.
If So>5000 Approval Procedure wants to activate same thing for >50,000., Bur approval Procedure is not working wat will be the cause. i have linked this query In Terms as when the following applies.
If SO >5000 approved by user A.
If SO>50,000approved by User A & B.
Regards
Giridharan

Hi Giri
Your query for the first should be as follows:
SELECT DISTINCT TRUE
WHERE $[$29.0.NUMBER] > 5000 AND $[$29.0.NUMBER] < 50000
For the second query:
SELECT DISTINCT TRUE
WHERE $[$29.0.NUMBER] > 50000
The query you were trying to use is looking at the table which will only apply to documents already posted, and as that query is not being filtered specifically it is bringing back all the records and getting confused. You must reference to the runtime value of the document being posted.
Kind regards

Can not see the details of the task approved in UWL of ESS

Leave approver can not see the detail of the task approved such as the start and end date of the leave, number of days used, leave quota details of the applicant when he approved it.
Please give your advises!
Regards,

Hi!
Maybe these attributes are not being shown due to the fact that they might have been specified in the "List of Display Attribute to exclude from Preview/Detail area" attribute of the UWL iview currently being used.
As you can see in the Help page:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/de/0a/ad68c125ae496f8c04a25090bd2e3c/content.htm
It states the following about this attribute:
"Enter the names of the attributes which you want to hide from the display in the preview area. These names should be comma separated."
Maybe for the UWL iview currently being used it has been specified some values for this attribute, and so some information for the items such as the start and end date of the leave (along with the others you have mentioned) are not getting displayed in the preview area.
Hope this helps!
Best regards,

Approver can't view Attachment in Shopping carts

Hello,
We are on SRM 7.0 and facing issue as Requester put attachments .doc, .xls etc but when approver click on attachment it does not open.
We are on SP 7 . I have checked the Note 1381247 , The configuration is there for Data type BBPS_ATTACHMENT_BCS which is referred in the Note.
What our approver is having issue is they do see the Attachment list but when they click on the attachment it looks like open in new window and just shut it down immediately. Even we tried Clicking the attachment with CTRL Key press it opens up a window If Approver wants to Save, Open File by clicking Save also do not show any options.
Do i have to do any settings for the same?
Please advise.
Thanks

In approval procedure user do not want to refresh the software

Hi all,
In approval procedure i prepare the approval for outgoing payment, so when the user pass the transaction the approval going to manager but my issue is the manager must refresh his user when any new approval is coming.
i don't want to refresh again & again so you have any solutions of these tell me.
Regards,
Mobin

This is a database function that you have to refresh to get new data displayed. If you do not like it, I am afraid something must be developed by SDK tool to auto refresh for users. It may not be achievable though. Post it on SDK forum to involve experts there.
Thanks,
Gordon

Send Email from approval task form

In my reusable workflow, I have added an approval action. Everything works perfectly. What I want is - When approver comes to approval form, he should be able to send notification email to the initiator (From that form) that he has started working on that document.
What I have tried - I have added a button clicking on which will submit the form to initiator.
But it fails. possible reason - when I create a data connection in workflow's infopath form to submit form as email, I am getting following warning
"Domain trust form templates cannot be sent as email attachments. to fix this problem, modify the form option to change the security level of form template to restricted".
I also tried to update status field and wait for it to changes in workflow and send an email from sp designer workflow. it didn't work.
Please help or suggest any other possible way to achieve this functionality (Send Email from approval task form to initiator).

Hi mry,
I could reproduce on my SharePoint 2013 on-premise based on your another
post.
Based on the the following article, SharePoint workflow cannot use the InfoPath form in restricted mode which doesn't allow the data connection, but as your image warning message shows sending InfoPath form as mail attachments will need restricted level.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ee526352.aspx
You can consider to send a mail to initiator in "Whe a Task Completes" step when you click button approved/rejected, and construct the current task form link format as follow,

UWL CATS time approval error "No data exists that needs to be approved"

Hi all,
We approve CATS working time through SAP portal UWL. The user can see the workitem in her UWL inbox, but got an error u201CNo data exists that needs to be approvedu201D when he tried to execute the workitem. But the user is able to execute the workitem using Business workplace in ECC. We are using the standard UWL application.
This happens only to CATS time entries for certain type of employees (for example, the employees who do not report directly to the approver).
SAP Portal 7.0
SAP MSS 600 SP19
SAP UWLJWF 7.00 sp23
SAP ECC 6.0
Here is what I have found from my trouble-shooting. When I test (preview) the UWL iView, it seems to be working fine. But when I call up the iView from the portal MSS role, I got the error message u201CNo data exists that needs to be approved.u201D
Please let me know if you need more information.
Thank you,
Qi

I have found that the workitem ID is not passed to the CATS approval web dynpro program. Here is what is in the Item Type configuration XML. Is there anything missing?
