Approval Issue

Hi,
When I am starting a planning unit for one of the department, the state is changing to Under review instead of First pass, for every department. If I have an owner assigned to that department, the planning unit state is under review and the owner is assigned which is defined in the assigned owner list. If I don't have an owner or any reviewer, i am getting a sub status saying "Ambiguous new owner".
Am I missing something.........?? Help
Thanks,
CM

Hi,
I am doing it for the first time but as per the document, when you start the planning unit,
the first state is the first pass, but for me the planning unit is set to under review with planning unit
assigned to first owner.
I know in the first pass state, there is no owner, so if I do not assign owner or reviewer, then nobody will be able to promote or review the planning unit, also i am getting error as "Ambiguous New owner" if I don't assign owner for the planning unit hierarchy.
Thank,
CM

    Hi Nazeer,
    The value of Tan(45) is beng wrongly calculated by ABAP because internally the data type for all the Trignometric functions are represented as Floating point numbers.
    Please refer to this:
    The results of the following functions have the data type f:
         Trigonometric functions: cos, acos, sin, asin, tan, atan
         Hyperbolic functions: tanh, sinh, cosh
         Exponential functions (base e): exp
         Natural logarithms (base e): log
         Logarithms (base 10): log10
         Square root: sqrt
    In case you have any further clarifications,do let me know.

  • Purchase Order Approval Issue

    Hi! Experts ,
                         I'm using SAP 8.81 PL05, We are sending PO's for Approval, Once the PO's got approved I'm Unable to do some changes , For all Approved PO's Row Level got blocked we can't change the Price,Project Code, TAX etc. I know SAP Released some Patch level fixing these types of Issues. Can any one help me which patch level we can send approval po's for re approval.

    Hi KamalaKamalakKannan,
        I think there's really no way for you to make changes for a PO that went through an approval procedure because that's the whole point of having one. I'm not sure of the fix, but what I can suggest though is GRPO or AP custodian to make the necessary changes if they make a "copy from" entry. I had the same problem before, and that's how we are able to make the necessary changes.
    thanks,

  • PO Approval Issue

    Hi,
    We have a problem with the Workflow Nofitication page resolving with the host name of our server. I have some POs pending that need approved. Is there any other way a Purchasing Superuser can approve these POs/Releases that are in process?
    Thank you
    A/A

    Nothing different. Entered a new release for a blanket PO and send it to approval . The approver can't get to the notification window because of DNS issues (we are working on that). How else can the PO be approved?..thx

  • Content Approval Issue

    I am using a Forms Library with an InfoPath form as the content type and would like to have it for the user to only see their own and the manager (approver).  My issue is that when I turn on the content approval, all the forms go to "Approved"
    (just like expected) and then I set the status back to pending (so not everyone can see) and it makes it so no one excepted the Approvers can see any form.  As soon as I turn it off, it goes back to the normal way. 
    Has anyone encountered this before?  If so, what was the work around?  It works for new content, but I want to make it work for the old content as well.
    Pat Petersen

    When you Publish the InfoPath form, you can publish the infoPath fields as Columns to SharePoint List. Later You can use to Create filtered Views so that they can see forms created by them or if they are the Supervisor.
    We have achieved a similar for Leave Application. Username and Supervisor and Status fields are published as columns. Which I later used in the views to filter User=[Me] or Supervisor =[Me].
    This will not work if the Users have permissions to create their own views.
     

  • TRIP Workflow approval issue

    Dear All
    We have developed custom workflow for TRIP workflow, with single level approval of line manager.
    We are raising Trip request using Transaction PR05.Workitem goes to line manager for approval in SAP inbox and
    NWBC (SAP netweaver ) for approval.On approval by manager workflow is completed instead of further processing.
    Reason for completion of workflow is Event BUS2089 CHANGE is created with event APPROVED.
    Due to this CHANGE event current workflow instance is completed,as parallely condition for CHANGE is checked for workflow completion.
    Kindly let us now this unexpected behavior of CHANGE event creation of BUS2089 on approval of trip by manager and any
    steps to control this.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Aditya

    Hi Aditya
    You may want to retain CHANGED event wait step so that if the trip is changed outside the WF, the current instance, being redundant, gets completed.
    For your case there can be two different approaches, depending how you have implemented the workflow.
    1) Check who is the user triggering the event CHANGED in this case. Is the system catching the manager user name or the user name WF-BATCH. If it is WF-BATCH, it becomes fairly simple. You do not complete the workflow after WAIT for EVENt step, instead loop back to wait step for any possible changes later on (outside the WF)....you will get the user name in the event (_EVT_CREATOR)
    2) If the username is that of the Approver, see if this works for you (Iam assuming that your approval is in one branch of the fork and the wait for event is in another branch of the fork (1 of 2 fork)).
    a) Trap the Actual Agent of the decision in the approval branch
    b) Trap the user triggering the COMPLETED event in the other branch
    c) Compare the two - if they are same, do not execute the process control step to complete the WF instead loop back to wait step for any possible changes later on (outside the WF).
    Not sure if this will work because there can be timing issues.....the Actual Agent of approval may not be written in one branch and the comparison happens in the other..... it's worth a try

  • Not-approved issue is visible in AppStore

    I have just published a new issue of a magazine in the Folio Producer - status is off course public for Apple to see it. At the same time I have submitted for approval at Apple, where it is waiting for review with the status Not Cleared for Sale.
    Therefore - it should not be visible in the AppStore. But it is.....!
    Any opinion whether this is an Adobe or Apple issue...?

    Hmmmmm..... got a bit confused. Normally I publish paid issues, but this is free - so that's why. But why do the status at Apple then say "Waiting for approval" if they don't have to approve..?

  • E-Separation Change Approver issue in HINUEADI

    Hello All,
    We are facing issue in Change Approver functionality in the report HINUEADI, if we want to change the approver in the E-Separation Approval process for any employee, we run this report by selecting Change Approver, and given FROM user id and TO User Id, after executing the report it is updating the table T77WWW_TEAAP but the work item id is not forwarding to the new changed Approver. and after the request is disappeared from the previous approver queue too.
    Please let me know is there any workflow changes do we need to do for this to forward the work item from previous approver to the New Approver?
    we have copied standard Work Flow template WS77900165 to custom and maintained in table V_T77WWW_EAALC.
    waiting for your suggestions.
    Thanks,
    Srikanth.

    Hi Srikanth,
    Try this:
    Go to Se16 --> Table: T77WWW_TEAAP
    Find the existing Approver ID for whom you want to change to new Approver ID, now copy the Work Item ID.
    Go to SWIA Tcode and hit the Work Item ID, now find the Sub-Work Item ID.
    Now, go back to SWIA and hit the sub-work item id,
    Select the 'Administrator Forward' and enter the desired Approver ID that you would like to forward the workitem and save.
    Now, go to T77WWW_TEAAP and select the old Approver ID and by debugger you change to the new Approver ID and save.
    Workitem will be now forwarded to the new Approver ID.
    This works and same process can be used for Due clearance to change Task Owners ID.
    Regards

  • IDM / GRC 10 - Post approval issue

    We are using IdM 7.2 sp8 and GRC 10 and have a full workflow created as follows:
    NOTE: Risk Validation and GRC System Auto-Approval Step are currently both disabled
    Manager -> Role Owner -> GRC Risk Analysis -> Approval -> Provision  Seems quite simple. right?  :-)  Getting every detail correct to make sure this works seemlessly is the issue I seem to be running into.
    My issue is that I am trying to assign an IdM Business role that contains privileges from two different ABAP systems (very standard).  After everything gets to approved, submitted to GRC and comes back to IdM, polling starts and the result is read back in and the check status task runs its "Approve" tasks.  It looks like the provision job is trying to provision the requested roles into the GRC10 repository instead of the ABAP systems the privileges should be provisioned in and I get the following in the log:
    This is found in the provisioning framework
    Naturally the privileges have a default repository but the Business Role does not.
    The GRC10 Repository only has the workflow (full not just AC Validation stage) in the Validate add task, no assignment tasks
    Each ABAP system only has the three normal provisioning tasks assigned, 601, 1345 and 751
    The error I get when its all said and done is "uSkip Called to skip entry"
    There is some small detail I'm missing.
    Your thoughts?

    The instance details upon which i'm currently working are as follows,
    R12 Instance
    RDBMS : 11.1.0.7.0
    Oracle Applications : 12.1.1
    I'm currently working towards resolving an issue where in all the requisitions submitted by a particular user through iProcurement are resulting into the status Incomplete.
    After submission by the user the requisition approval workflow is kicked off and the approval request notifications are being sent out.
    The approvers have approved the notification as well.
    Inspite of all the approvals being gathered for this requisition, the workflow completes but the requisition status is set to Incomplete.
    Any pointers as to why this might be the case. Also could you suggest where i need to be looking to resolve this issue.
    The workflow i repeat always completes normally.
    Any suggestions or advise is much appreciated!!

  • PA Budget Approval Issue

    Hello Experts
    Please guide me on the following issue.
    I am creating a Project Budget for entire lifecycle of a project say from Oct-2010 To Dec-2012 period. And on submission of the same notification goes to approving authority. But even after when approving authority approves this budget status of this budget remains as 'In Process'. Expected to change status to 'Working'.
    But when I am creating budget for same project only for period Oct-2010 To Dec-2010 and after approving the budget status is getting changed to 'Working'.
    I shall be grateful if some body can help me in resolving this workflow issue.
    Thanks in Advance.

    Thanks a lot Dina
    Can you please tell me on following doubts:
    1. If my Project Budget is a non time phased, in this case can I generate and review budget accounting from Tools menu. If yes in which period these budget journals will be posted in GL?
    2. If its not possible to post budget journals in GL for non time phased budget, then how the funds check would be exercised at the time of actual transactions? And is this budget is still a GL integrated budget?
    Please clarify my doubts.
    Thank you

  • MSS - Compensation Planning and Approval Issues

    Hi Experts,
    We are implementing MSS for one of our clients (only MSS) and face a few issues.
    1. The Submitter is able to view and approve the Compensation plan for his reportee........instead it should be the submitters manager who should only be able to approve ie Compensation approval should be done by M+1 level but it is right now done by the manager himself. How can this be done? Any setting through which we can restrict this?
    2. We would like to restrict the Compensation submission to the Managers only. While we are testing we found that one of us who is not a manager can still create and submit the Compensation change. We don't want this to happen so that even by error the MSS Role is assigned to a non-manager, he should still not be able to make any changes.
    Any pointers will be highly appreciated.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Arun E V

    Hi Arun,
    Did you resolve your issue? what MSS version you are using for Compensation Planning and Approval, are you able to see employees for Approval in Planning Overview Application, even i am not able to Employees for Planning Overview Appliation, i am able to see employees in Compensation Planning Application only.

    Please help me on this one.
    Thanks in Advance.

  • CATS approval Issue

    Hi,
    We have some attendance for an employee for October 2011. One day attendance for 04/10/2011 is not appearing on IT 2002. Pulled CADO report to see the status of the attendance and it shows the status as In Process. Tried to approve the attendance using the tcode CTA6, CAPP, CAT4, but unable to approve as it is not getting listed when the tcode is executed.
    Reason for doing this approval is employee entered entered the attendance using the PORTAL but this was not transfrred to IT 2002.
    aNY ADVICE WILL BE MUCH APPRECIATED.
    tAHNKS

    Thanks the issue is now resolved. Rule was not to apply attendances in advance. As employees applied there attendances before the actual day system was throwing an error. Employee deleted the attendances booked in advance and reapplied after the actual day of attendnace. After this action all went well.

  • T&E approver issue while trying to approve the request in SBWP

    Hi All,
    I am working with a T&E issue here. The problem is when ever the T&E approver trying to save the request submitted by the user in his inbox or try to change the expenses data its not allowing me to save or change any data. The message i get is " Trip has not been approved yet. Trip can not be changed".
    When i open the request through SBWP(inbox), it will take me to PR05 screen where the user is trying to save. Even if i give SAP_ALL also its not working. Sometimes it thro P_ABAP Program SAPDBPNP with 2 is missing in ST01(i know its dummy nothing to do with this issue)
    I am not sure whether its workflow or security. Its working fine in production and replicated the same roles in QA but no use. Any help highly appreciated and <removed by moderator>
    Edited by: Julius Bussche on Aug 24, 2011 6:43 PM

    Yes Martin, i have tried both in Dev and QA with ST01 traces and its giving me the same results. In the P_ABAP object we have used 3 programs in which one is custom program. In the trace it is reading the 2 standard programs but its not showing that its reading the custom Z program. Instead of that is showing the erro P_ABAP program SAPDBPNP with value 2 is missing.
    Even if i add SAPDBPNP into P_ABAP its not working. I am trying all the ways before going to the developer. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

  • Approval issue in WorkFlow

    Hi experts,
         My workflow senario is
      Author -> Approver1 -> Approver2
    When author submit the form it should go to approver1 , when the approver1 submits the form it should go to approver2.
    In this i am getting a issue, when Approver1 submits the form it is not going to Approval2,but when the Author submits it is reaching Approver1.
    Can any one tell me what may be the reason for this..
    Thanks & regards,
    karthik.

    Karthi,
    The 1st thing that u need to do is check the workflow template of that workflow in SWDD. Go to the task, and see if any object and its method is defined inside the particular task.
    In t-code SWI1 u cam also see the log which gives the return values from this task. This will show what exactly this task is returning.
    First see what kind of task is it and what business object is defined in this task.
    Thanks,

  • HR Leave Approval issues

    hi everyone,
    I have modified the standard HR Leave approval Workflow WS002000077. In that workflow user decision, Unlock step type, loop steps are available. I am getting user decision workitem in inbox. When i click approve option, i has to go to unlock step type. But it is not going for unlock step.
    The same scenario is working good without loop, i can able to unlock it.
    So, in this scenario with loop, I am getting following errors;
    1. variables of the work item cannot be generated.
    2. Error in the evaluation of expression '&EMPLOYEET<???>.NAME&' for item '10'
    3. Error when determining attribute 'NAME' of object instance '[BO.EMPLOYEET.]'
    4. Agent determination for step '0000000038' failed
    5. Source (expression '&EMPLOYEET.ADMINISTRATOR.ADMINISTRATOR&') of binding assignment is not available
    6. Source (expression '&EMPLOYEET.ADMINISTRATOR.ADMINISTRATORGROUP&') of binding assignment is not avaible
    7. Error in the evaluation of expression '&EMPLOYEET<???>.ADMINISTRATOR.ADMINISTRATORGROUP&' for ite
    8. Error in the evaluation of expression '&EMPLOYEET<???>.ADMINISTRATOR.ADMINISTRATOR&' for item '10
    here item '10' refers to loop step. I am using custom rule. It is working fine without loop condition.
    Thanks in advance!!

    hi,
      That one previous workflow and it solved. But now the same one with loop for Re-submission of Leave Request after change.
      Actually the values from Employeet is not flowing in the Unlock step for agent determination. Because of that the agent determination is not possible for me. But it works well without loop scenario. Employeet is not instantiated.
    Here i am using loop condition for re-submission of leave request.
    Thanks,
