Approval List

Hi
I have a problem with an approval list in PO (requisition). I cant figure out why one person in the hierarchy is not allowed to approve the requisition. When he presses approve the approval mail goes one step up in the hierarchy (and that is to the CIO). As far as I know he has the right conditions set.
Is there a sql statement that you can run to see the result? What WF function is used?
Where is the timeout set for approval set? What happens if one approver does not answer within time?
/Karin

Check the workflow monitor to see where it is stuck and run some diagnostic tests for approval authority. You should be able to search for the script on metalink

Application on approved list won't open

I am running a lab using the Mac OX Server (Leopard) and have had several problems with applications being on the "approved list" but not allowing the user to open them. iPhoto is one of them and the newest is a free program called TextWrangler. Students are logging in to their own hard drive, using the applications that are on the computer. These programs work when logged in to the computer, but not the server. A message always pops up saying the program is not on the approved list to contact the person who set it up. Can anyone help, please?

Kimberly, there are a couple of things you can try.
In Workgroup Manager, in your group preferences, under 'Applications' where you're managing what apps they can use, you can try adding the applications in question as if they were folders.
So by this I mean, where you see the tabs Applications|Folders, select folders and where it says "Allow applications within these folders" click the plus icon and navigate to the application in question as if it were a folder.
An application is basically a folder (there are a bunch of files inside it) but it doesn't behave like one when you double click it (instead it launches).
Once you have saved your preferences it would be a good idea to delete the managed preferences on the client machine before testing again.
These are located /Library/Managed Preferences/
(note that that is the main "Library" folder at the root of the Macintosh HD not a users Library folder.)
You can delete the whole "Managed Preferences" folder.
This folder temporarily stores the settings that are being sent to the client by the server so that they don't have to be downloaded each time a user logs in, and you're deleting it to be sure your new settings are being downloaded.
I have personally found that I 'do' need to sign my applications under some circumstances. Where are you using WorkGroup Manager? Are you using it on the server or are you using it on one of the client machines? If you're using WGM on the server to add applications, have you checked that the versions of the applications on the server are the same as on the client? Have you tried logging in as admin to one of the client machines, and using Workgroup Manger, adding the application directly from the client machine?
Sorry for the overly long post.

Add custom fields in Approval List

Hi,
How can I add more information to the Pending Approval List?
I've seen in the database that the "request preview" column in the list is html code filled into the REQ table.
May be there is a configuration to determine which fields are included in the request preview Column.
Thank You.

Hi,
Just go through the API userd to submit a provisioning request. All those field will there in request details from where you can fetch required information.
But this required lot of customiztion on end user screen and database level.

SRM SC 'N' step workflow - Approver list wrong approver determined

Hi Team,
I am facing a repetetive issue for a SRM shopping cart N-step approval workflow.
Issue description:
1. The approver list populated in 'Subworkflow for n-Level Approval SC' step is incorrect.
2. The BADI for N-step determines correct approver (After running the BADI seperately)
3. The cost assignment (WBS) determined is correct, so no chance of incorrect approver.
Example:
As per WBS (say) E.008.01.02, the correct approver is 'A'.
The BADI when run separately gives 'A' as the approver - which is correct.
But, when the workflow is triggered and the approver list populated in the Sub-workflow step it gives approver as 'B'.
There is no link so as how this approver 'B' is determined.
I am unable to find the step where this BADI is populating this value (Code) and what could be the reason.
Appreciate your help as I am having a production emergency!
Many thanks.
Harsh Dave

Hi Vinoth,
The Task 14007989 deals after the approval list is populated.
If you observe the workflow log of a SC/PO, the step N-step workflow (sub-workflow) itself determines the approval list and then comes the step 'Determine Next Approver' - TS14007989.
I tried to where-used list and it just yielded two FM's - BBP_WFL_DIN_APPR_CONTAINER_GET & BBP_WFL_DIN_APPR_BY_RULE_GET.
But the 1st one is to get only approvers which are already determined in container & 2nd one checks for further approval required (Flag = 'X', see the FM interface).
This one doesn't help!
Thanks for your help, Let me know if you have any more findings on this!

Clear approval list in download basket

Hi All,
I have a situation in the process of up gradation
using mopz i had choosed wrong level of sp stack so all my files are in approval list of the download basket.
now i dont want them any more and request a new set of sp stack in upgrade process using mopz.
is this possible for me to delete them manually, or raise a sap note so that they would do it for me.
if i delete them ,will those files be available for me when ever i want them in any ways.
again put them in download basket and then download when ever i want. i.e using new transaction.
please advice,
Vardhan.

Hi,
you can delete from the up button "delete".
system must alllow you to download again, whenever required with new transaction.
Again it goes to same download basket, use MOPZ to approve it, and use Download manager to download it in your desktop
Thanks

Customization to Add Approver to Requisition Approver List

Hi
We use a Position Hierarchy to determine the Approver List for a PO Requisition Approval
However we also use Project Costing, and would like to dynamically add the Project Managers into the Approver List for Requisition lines coded to their Projects.
Does anyone have any experience doing this ? Know of any Open API calls that will allow this?
I have been through the Workflow and have designed the Process flow changes required, but cannot find any documentation on "dynamically" adding an additional approver into the Approver List.
Thanks

I have completed work on this and it will require use of the Applications Framework to add in the appropriate user. You will need to work with the Controller for the page as well as the AM for some validation.
In short you need to complete Applications Framework customisations to get this information.

Carry Global variables to checkout:Review Approver List

Hi
I am writing extenstion for iprocurement,
If it is shopping lists, I need to store value as a shopping lists and then after checkout review approver list that page
I need to write the code justification field must not be null.
Problem is how to carry the global variable to this page.
Thanks
Subramanian

hi,
There are several ways to pass the value
1> Putting the value in sesssion
2> passing the value as page request parameter
3> Using the View Object attribute -- I recommend the VO as I think same AM is used for the compelte flow i.e. from checkout to review approver list
Thanks,

FM for approver list BEFORE shopping cart is ordered? DOC_CHECK_BADI

Is there a function module that can be called from DOC_CHECK_BADI to return the approver list as it shows in the approval preview? This will be before any workflow is created, since the shopping cart has not been ordered yet.

Hello,
Definitly not an easy thing to do.
You have to consider at least 3 cases:
- No workflow instance nor buffered (SC creation, approval preview not called)
- Buffered workflow (approval preview has been called)
- Wf instance exist (Hold or ordered Shopping cart).
In all cases the function BBP_PDH_WFL_APPROVAL_SIMULATE will give you the correct information if you call it with the correct parameters.
I think you already check the form simulate_approval_pbo of fg bbp_pdh_wfl. You should try to reproduce this logic and need to retrieve first some global variable from this program (gv_buffer_wfdkey, gv_check_status, etc.) with memory import/export of dynamic call (if possible).

Where does the approver list fro sc get populated????

Hello everyone,
It will be really helpful , if some one can guide me. i am using a copied (custom)version of ws10000031 for shopping cart approvals. the standard workflow is for two level approval. there is some problem with this custom workflow now. it is not identifying the rite agents . where should i look for to find out where the approver list is getting populated. I am unable to pinpoint a place where the agents are being identified. moreover for two level approvals, i cannot see the second approver name inthe cart status.
also even after switching on the event trace , i cannot see any event getting triggered inthe trace but i c workitems generated.is this common??
help would be appreciated.
thank you

hi Disha,
Thanks for ur reply, but i had already done those steps .as i said i am using a copied version of the wf so i have assigned it to an expression &agent_0001.agent& and &agent_0002.agent&. that is what is there in the standard workflow too. my problem is i want to know where this container element is getting populated, since i am going to modify this workflow, i need to know this information. i have tried many different approaches but still cannot find it. it will be great if u can tell me whether this happens in any BADi or it happens inthe bsp code or where ???
or is it the adhoc agent assignment where this agent assignmetn is taking place?
because i can see the approval list inthe approval preview inthe cart status screen. i am wondering where and when this apporoval list is being generated???
thanks once again for the reply.

Setup Approver List in LMS 3.1

Hi All, Has anyone setup approval feature in LMS3.1. I want it to setup for my customer. Customer wants that helpdesk will create a job and then it should come to Network Manager for approval and without approval job should not be executed.
Can anyone explain me how does it work and what is the requirement to achieve this and what are the step involve in it.

Help desk users typically don't create jobs. This task usually falls to Network Operators. They would create a job, then before the job could run, it would require approval from someone on the approval list. That approver need not have any other access to LMS except to approve jobs (i.e. they would only be given the Approver role). If the job is not approved by the time it is scheduled to run, then it will be canceled.
To setup an approver list, you need to first add users to LMS with the Approver role. Then go to RME > Admin > Approval > Create/Edit Approver Lists, and create a list. You can assign an approver list to a various job-based task under the Assign Approver Lists TOC task. Finally, go to Approval Policies to enable the approver feature for a given job-based task.
I highly recommend you first review the context sensitive online help in RME so that you fully understand the flow of maker (the job creator) and checker (the job approver).

Requisition Approvals AME errors on Approval List Rebuild When an Employee

We're using AME for requisition approvals which contains several dynamic approver groups.
The problem is that the approval list can be large and depending on how long it takes the requisition to be approved a person who has already approved the requisition might be terminated in Oracle. The approval list rebuilds after each subsequent approval and errors at the point where the termed person falls in the list.
How can we work around this? Is there a way to get AME to NOT rebuild the list once the approval is in process? Or is there a way to have it not look at stages of the approval list where approval has already happened?
Thanks,
Suzanne
