Approval limit

Hi,
(Under General attribute change->Extended attribute->PO values limit)
What is the difference between Approval limit of 'Standard values' and Approval limit of 'Local values'?
Why approval limit of Standard values is a non editable field where as that of Local values is an editable one?
Please explain.
Thanks
Rajendra

Hi Rajendra,
Please refer to the following link. It would give clarity on the limits:

Split PR/PO values to allow pass approval limit, how can we control this?

Is there a way to limit the number of approvals that can be done on PR / PO per hour / day / week (for the same account, position, category, item).
The purpose of this not to enable users to split the PR/PO values in multiple PR/PO to allow approval limit pass, that is, PR = $3000 will not be approved since it is more that the approval limit of finance manager whereas PR 1 = $1000, PR 2 = $ 1000, PR 3 = $ 1000 will pass.
How can we avoid this?

Thank you Martin for your reply.
In option 2 does this mean if I am a member of the help desk who has the privilege to edit the user, I will be able to go to users/manage and another users/manage2 for example. In users/manage, I can view all the fields on the user with no edit button. In users/manage2, I can view only the fields I am authorized to edit, and there is an edit button on this page?
I have never done this so I am trying to imagine what the interface would look like and what the data flow would be.
In option 3, I have never thought of this solution. But now I understand that this could be an option.
Thanks

Hi,
We are on SRM 4.0, in PPOMA_BBP for a local purchasing organisation we want to change the approval limit let us say from 100 to 50 but the system is presenting this field as non editable( In stabdard values sub screen)
In Extended attribute tab in organisation structure after selecting the PO Value limits in SRM 4.0 we see two sub screens
a) Standard values
b) Local values
We want to change the approval limit in standard values sub screen from 1000 to 500, which system is presenting as noneditable.

PO Approval Limit Setup

Hi Guys,
Can anyone help me understand where do we set the Approval Limit Amount for a specific position in the Position Approval Hirearchy.
Thanks,
Akash

Hi Sanjay,
Thanks for the clarification.Could you please go through the below approach and confirm if i am correct.
If i have PO of Amount Limit = 1000 and i want to get it approved by routing it through 3 Positions(Inventory Manager,Account Manager,CFO)
So after creating Job,Position and Position Hierarchy
I need to create 3 Approval Group: (Approval Group Form)
Inventory Manager Group : Document Total = 100
Account Manager Group : Document Total = 500
CFO Group : Document Total = 1000
Then i need to associate the Document Type(Standard Purchase Order) to all the 3 groups under respective positions. (Assignment Approval From)
Position : Inventory Manager
Document Type : Standard Purchase Order Approval Group : Inventory Manager Group
Position : Account Manager
Document Type : Standard Purchase Order Approval Group :Account Manager Group
Position : CFO
Document Type : Standard Purchase Order Approval Group : CFO Group
Thanks in advance.
Thanks,
Akash

How to get the approval limit of a user

Hi,
Is there any table to get the value of approval limit of a user?
Other than using the FM "BBP_BW_GET_APPR_LIMIT"are there any ways to get the approval limit of a particular user provided his username is given?

Hi Sowmya,
You can use the FM 'BBP_READ_ATTRIBUTES'
Pass the username in IV_USER
IV_SCENARIO will have the value BBP
and the value for IV_ATTR_SINGLE can be taken from the table T77OMATTR.
You can also go thorugh the following link for getting help to call this FM:

Which standard package checks po approval limit?

Hi all,
In 11i requisition approval workflow (REQAPPRV), 'Build Default Approval List' function i.e. PO_APPROVAL_LIST_WF1S.BUILD_DEFAULT_APPROVAL_LIST builds the default approval list based of position/emp supervisor hierarchy. It then calls po_approvallist_s1.VerifyAuthority() which invokes PO Document Approval Manager. PO Document Approval Manager is also invoked after requisition is approved in 'Does Approver Have Authority?' function.
I believe VerifyAuthority() is the place where approval limits are checked. Please direct me to exact package which does check on approval limit vs requisition total. Also what is the purpose of PO Document Approval Manager. One of the metalink notes says Doc Manager in R12 is coded in PL/SQL. That R12 code might be useful.
P.S: I found poreq.verifyauthority(), but it is checking only for DOCUMENT_TOTAL in po_control_rules. What about the ACCOUNT_RANGE?
Thanks

Approval Limit of user - Extended Attributes

Hello everyone,
I would like to know the difference between standard values and local values for approval
limit in extended attributes in PPOSA_BBP. The standard value has 15000 AUD which is
inherited by the organization unit under which the user is created. Local value is 1000 AUD.
What does this mean? All users under the organization unit carry the same standard valu for
approval limit but only head carries the local value which is 1000 AUD.
Can anyone please answer to this.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Priya,
Even i checked in my system and i couldn't able to find much importance for standard value...system is considering only local values.....
if you got the answer then please post it ...
Thanks

Dear SRMer's,
System info:
SRM 4.0.
Problem Description:
In PPOMA_BBP, I set my approval limit in the 'PO Value Limits' under Extended attributes to $1000.00 and added an approver for the SLApprover in Attributes tab.
But when I create a shopping cart with value greater (>) than $1000.00,
I dont see the SL approver on the approval flow and the approval flow says no approval required.
Please help.
Thanks in advance,

BBP APPROVAL LIMIT - Mass updation

Hello ,
To update the approval limit for individual users , one can do so by using SU01 --> Personalization --> BBP_APPROVAL_LIMIT
Can anybody let us know if we can update the same for n numbers of users (say 1000 users) by mass changes.

Chetan Agrawal

The table to make the change is SPERS_OBJ, with field name = "APPROVAL_LIMIT" and "CURRENCY" for "OBJECT_ID" with user ids you want to make change.

Get PO Approval limit for Approver and substitute

Hello all,
Description:
When an approver assigns a substitute for approval, the PO Value Limit (HRP5503-LIMIT) for the position needs to be equal to or greater than that of the approver. If this is not true, then an error message saying u201CSubstitute has insufficient signing authorityu201D should be returned to the user upon adding the substitute.
Logic can be found in SAP program LBW02F01 (include)
under routine FORM / D1328_FIND_DEPUTIES
Here i need to fetch the PO approver details and substitute detaiils.
Please let me know about this.
Thanks in advance

Substitution is for the total inbox ...
I don't think it can be done only for Purchase Order or Shopping Cart or What ever it is...
You can use the Implicit Enhacement Operation to add code to the standard sap code...
Try to re-use the following code and get the value limit from the Business Object BUS4101.
"swc_create_object req_user 'BUS4101' sy-uname.
swc_get_property req_user 'ApprovalLimit' lv_calimit-approval_limit.
swc_get_property req_user 'ApprovalCurrency' lv_calimit-currency."
FORM / D1328_FIND_DEPUTIES -- In this, "gt_deputies" is the standard table used by SAP in the code which stores all the substitute uses..
You need to delete the user entries who are having value limit less than the approver user in the "gt_deputies".
I have done the same for one of my requirements.. but it was not specific for only PO.

PR.

Hi,
Did you use any parameter in the FM expression? it seems like the DUMP is unable to convert 00000 00 as number.
If you have assigned the parameter in the FM expression then remove them..

How to set AME approval limit

Dear Gurus
Iam facing a issue in SSHR absence approval flow.
Whats happening is that if an employee applies for leave or absence , his request does not only goes to his immediate senior but also to people above his senior. I only want the request to only go to his senior. Basically can you plz tell me how to put a cut in approval hierarchy so that his request only goes to his immediate supervisor and not to anybody above then that.
Thank you
Regards,
Muhammad Noman Shafique

Hi,
In the AME transaction for SSHR, you will need to change the rule for the workflow in question to one level of supervisor only. You can do this from the Approvals Management Business Analyst or equivalent responsibility in your implementation.
1. Query the transaction.
2. Check and identify the rule for absences within your setup. (typically by the workflow name but could be different in your setup)
3. Create a new rule on similar lines but with an approval group of Require approvals up to the first superior

Workflow issue in SC (WS10000276) - Value limit 1 step approval

Dear Experts,
We are configuring 1 step value limit approval in SRM 7.0 for SC.
We have maintained the attribute SLAPPROVAL for the employee who raises the shopping cart with the manager.
For the roles assigned to Manager and employee we have specified the spendding limit and approval limit.
Activated the WF WS10000276.
When I create the SC it is not determining the approver based on value.
We have even tried out by assigning agents for the WF WS10000276.
Can any one help me in this regard.
Is there any attribue SLAPPROVERLIST where we need to maintain the approvers.
Please give me the steps to configure.
Thanks,
B.N.Karthikeyan.

Hello BN,
I tested the WF in SRM 5.0 and had to set the SLAPPROVER attribute to "USMANAGER01" if the approver/manager was the User Id MANAGER01. Meaning with US in front of the User Id of the Approver.
But you might have already done this.
