Hi
If Employee level sent to the next approver here you can do the offline process & again the 1st approver has to approve it with necessary things. till then your WF should be in waiting process.

Determining second level approver for travel expense claim workflow

Hi Experts...
In Travel Expense claim workflow,we are using two level Approval.The employee has to enter his data for expense claim through ESS..Then expense claim is submitted and sent via workflow to the Travel department. Travel Dept verifies the expenses against the bill and approves the claim by selecting the next level approver and attaching the scanned copies of the bill.
I made copy from the standard workflow WS20000040.
How can i select the next level appover in first level approval step???
Is there any FM or BAPI or BADI???
Please help me ...
Thanks in Advance
Regards,
Hemalatha.

Hi Hemalatha,
I have small tricky workaround to find out the second level of approver.The Standard Rule available can reused again by passing manager's Position.i.e
After first level completed , store manager position in container variable and pass it to the same task rule so the task is sent to the manager's approver .
Message me if needed more details.

Approve own travel expenses

Hi expert,
I have an issue about authorizations in Travel Management.
A user can approve his own travel expenses, although he does not have the role of the manager.
In the HR master data (transaction PRMD) I have entered in the System user name in the communication TAB.
I thought that this would prevent users to approve their own travel expenses (because a check is made).
I have tested it with my own user and I get the message "users cannot approve their own expenses".
Do you have any experience with this matter?
Thank you.
Kind regards,
Linda

This is probably controlled via authorizations. You can have your authorization person do an authorization check on your user, which is prohibited from approving your own trips. This should display the authorizations being checked for your user. Then see if the problem user has this authorization setup correctly.

Fiori Approve travel expense with POWL?

Hello - and a special hello and thanks to Masayuki Sekihara which helps us daily with our Fiori questions.
One customer wants to implement the approve travel expense application and told us he uses an POWL for that - is that possible?
Many thanks for your help!

Hello Masa,
our customer uses "POWL" to approve the travel expenses. I think they use the approve FITV_POWL_APPROVER for that.
My questions was, if the Fiori Travel expense approval app can use this?

Attachments in Travel Expense approval not displayed in UWL

Hi guys,
We here have implemented the travel expense workflow WS20000040. According to the current std functionality, when the requestor creates a travel expense request, he is able to attach any attachments along with the request. But when the request moves to the approver in his UWL, he is not able to see the attachments. (except a default one which on clicking, opens the PR05 txn)
Is there any config or note which needs to be applied for these attachments to be visible under the UWL's attachments?
Please help.
Regards,
Pranita
Please refer attached screenshots of requestor's and approver's screens..

Hi Pranita,
as far as I know, there is no standard functionality that implements the GOS-Links into the UWL. I've had the same problem as you and implemented a workaround that works as follows:
I wrote a class that implements the Interface IF_SWF_IFS_WORKITEM_EXIT and within the only method it contains I read the GOS-Documents which I then attach as normal workflow attachments to the Workflow API. The Class is used within the programming exit of my Workflow's decision task (it's then, by definition, automatically executed). This approach has one major disadvantage: The attachments are only passed to the WF upon sending the TRIP for approval, i.e. only when the workflow is executed, naturally. This means if the TRIP is sent for approval and then the employee creates attachments afterwards (which is possible even if the trip itself can not be changed due to authorization etc.), the manager will not receive these retroactively attached documents.
Beforehand: I'll not share the coding for this because I based it on the coding of an external colleague; but the description above should give you a design-technical idea of how to achieve your requirement.
One more thing. To get rid of that nasty process object that links to the PR05, you can use SWFVISU. I didn't know how to do this myself until 4 months ago or so. Ibrahim Ansari explained me how to do it in one of my threads over here: Hide/Remove process Object from Workitem that is shown as attachment in UWL possible?
Hope it helps.
Cheers, Lukas

Program Exit for Travel Expense approval workflow

Dear Experts,
When a travel expense request is raised from the portal, the requester can attach certain documents like Files, notes to the same for the approver to see.
But when the approver sees the request in his UWL, he is not able to see the documents that the requester attached while creating the request.
I used a Program Exit for the same to happen, which creates a custom Event of a Custom BO, which in turn is attached to a standard task, that calls a method of an ABAP Class, that in turn attaches the document for that particular Employee and trip number.
But I am not able to View the document in the UWL.
Am I missing anything?
Please help..
Note: I reffered the following document (which was very helpful):
http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-29492

Try changing the behavior of the uwl when calling a SAP GUI from the default ITS to WIN GUI since you can't display documents on ITS:
Content Administration->Portal Content->Portal Users->Standard Portal Users->Universal Worklist->UWL - Launch SAP Transaction
Under Property Category choose Content - Transaction. Set the property SAP GUI Type to SAP GUI for Windows.

Fiori Approve Travel Expenses Accept / Reject error

Hello,
I have installed the Approve Travel Expenses app and it looks to be working okay appart from the approve / reject buttons.
I have setup the scenarios using transaction SIMGH.
These are the only configuration changes i could find i need to make. In the guide for approve travel expenses it mentions to make sure tables SRA008_T_CONFIG and SRA008_T_TASKTYP are maintained and that the Travel Management module is installed and configured.
I cant find the paths in IMG to check the tables and also don't know how to check that the Travel Management module is installed and configured correctly. I will mention though that the client uses a custom workflow for travel expense approvals which is why I have defined the approval workflow task as TS90100025.
The error I get in the Fiori app is:
"{\"error\":{\"code\":\"SY/530\",\"message\":{\"lang\":\"en\",\"value\":\"Decision 0003 cannot be perfomed on workitem 000011503389.\"},\"innererror\":{\"transactionid\":\"1D25B0E3BE78F1EF8561005056B07C8E\",\"timestamp\":\"\",\"Error_Resolution\":{\"SAP_Transaction\":\"\",\"SAP_Note\":\"\"},\"errordetails\":[{\"code\":\"/IWBEP/CX_MGW_BUSI_EXCEPTION\",\"message\":\"Decision 0003 cannot be perfomed on workitem 000011503389.\",\"propertyref\":\"\",\"severity\":\"error\"}]}}}"
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards
Jared

Hi Masa,
My colleague pointed out that the task needs a user decision for the app to run and the approve/reject task is set as an activity.
I will ask the workflow consultants to update the workflow. Ill test the app again and post back here with the results.
Kind Regards
Jared

ESS MSS Travel & Expenses Customization in WebDynpro Abap

Hi Friends,
I have a requirement to customize the Travel & Expenses module in WebDynpro Abap. Please let me know the standard package (whcih contains webdynpro component) in WebDynpro Abap for this.
And give me some documents which contains steps to customize the standard screens.
Thanks & Regards,
Lakshmi Prasad.

The forum just died on me and my post was discarded, so here's the short form:
Packages: PTRM_WEB_UI, PTRM_WEB_POWL.
My advice: Don't narrow this down on packages, there are numerous used Components in numerous packages you'll inevitably find whilst forward-navigating the the respective Views of the Applications you want to use/configure.
Customizing: Sorry, nothing specific here. The IMG documentation was sufficient for me.
Enhancements: Here's a link I found to be useful. Maybe you'll come across Enhancing some Applications as well:

Configuration of Fiori app Approve Travel Expenses

Hi gurus,
I'm new on SAPUI5 technology, I need to do a simple configuration on standard Fiori app Travel expenses Approval (bsp ui5_fi_trex_apv).
I need to hide ui elements and change text translation of some labels.
I followed the guide 'Extending and testing SAP Fiori Apps', but I have some difficulty in the implementation of file component.js.
For example I need to hide the table TEA_LIST_COSTASSIGNMENTS in view details.Home.
I copied the example code excerpted from the guide, but I do not know how to retrieve the following values from standard app:
jQuery.sap.registerModulePath
jQuery.sap.declare
jQuery.sap.require
My Code :
Another question: after custom implementation, how can I test it ?
Thanks
Massimo

Self approving travel expense on ESS/MSS

Hi ,
I am implementing travel expense module. We are also implementing ESS and MSS for TE. Workflows are being used to send aprovel request to managers.
I want to know if some one has implemented a check for self approval. i.e do any one know how to check and restrict self approval?
If a manager creates a expense claim and it comes on his universal work list because of some wrong work flow or substitution then how can we restrict him from approving?
Can this be done by authorisations? or by using a badi or user exit?
Regards,
Amit.

You can handle this thing in two ways.....................
1> We can always check that if the employee and approver are same then ...workflow should not allow person to approve travel expenses.We can use the exculded agents function while specfying our agent in workflow task.
i.e if travel expense approver is person having sap id
test01
and employee who creates trip is also
test01
.Then above functionality won't allow person to approve his own trip.
2. In case of substitutions we have to use badi to restrict this stuff.
As per standard SAP UWL functionality you can delegate/substitute anyone in Organization. If you want using BADI WF_SUBSTITUTE can restrict user which can come in search for delegation/substitution as per your requirement.
Please refer SAP Note 977069 - Substitute API: Providing the BAdI WF_SUBSTITUTE.

Travel & Expenses Managers are receiving tasks for approval even when Saved

Hi All,
I am assigned some ESS Travel & Expenses application issues. One issue is
Usually When the Employee tries to Create a Travel Request and click on "Save and Send" a mail is triggered and reqest will go to manager for Approval.
But in our case, even when the Employees just Save the request, the request is going to Manager Approval with Email notification,
I never worked on ESS Applications, and these issues are assigned to me.
Could some one tell me where should we do the necessary changes (Configurations) to fix this issue.
Regards,
Satish

Hi,
pls check event binding in TA SWETYPV, BO BUS2089. So there will be "request created" or "requested" and other events available. If both are active, WF will start in both events. Also a "changed" or "request changed" event can trigger new WF without making a difference if it is "save" or "save and send". So pls check event binding first, and maybe make an event trace in your system to see which events are effectively called by the actions performed. Then choose the corresponding one and enable WF only for that event
regards, Michael

Approve Travel Expenses FIORI Application

Hi,
I have a problem in Approve Travel Expenses FIORI Application. The application was configured and implemented as shown in the SAP documentation platform :
http://help.sap.com/fiori_bs2013/helpdata/en/be/2c66528841745fe10000000a441470/content.htm
My problem is the application doesn't import any travel expenses that was created in PR05 TCODE. I can approve any expenses in SAP. The Odata message service returned OK code in /IWFND/MAINT_SERVICE. The Employee Master Record Creation was assigned to my s-user. I Have all roles and Manager Statut.
Should I maintain both tables :
SRA008_T_CONFIG
SRA008_T_TASKTYP
if i won't want to use a specific work-flow ?
Should i use a work-flow ?
Are there any SAP customization to do with my s-user ?
Any SAP Tcode to create / Approve travel expenses ?
All packages are updated.
I thank you in advance.

Hi Majbar,
Your issue is in HR workflow configuration. If workitem is in inbox, Fiori app can read it.
For SAP Business Workflow troubleshooting, you should look at event trace and workflow log.
