Approval of Variants in Appropriation Requests

I require workflow for multiple variants for the same AR. It should be variant wise approval. When am creating the second variant and submitting it for approval I can not see the Approve Button, the system only shows Postpone Approval which is incorrect. Can any one throw light on this......

You are right. Assuming the first variant is approved and I could  submit the second variant for approval only after putting the first variant in reject status. Now the second variant is created and I get to see "For Approval". I submit this one for approval  and I dont see the "Approve" button coming up, instead it shows "Postpone Approval".
So there are two variants created. First one is in rejected status, second one is submitted for approval, when you see it display mode you see the "approve" button and when you go in change mode it shows up as "Postpone Approval".

  • Cost in a variant of appropriation request (IMA2N)

    Dear All,
    I need create a report that introduce costs in a variant of Appropriation Request. The cost should be introduced
    with a legder account as you do in easy cost planning screen in the IMA2N transaction.
    I had tried "BAPI_APPREQUEST_SETPLANVALUES" BAPI, but it doesn't allow to introduce the ledger account.
    Do you know any BAPI or another thing that I can use to do this?
    Thanks.

    Hi Sreekanth,
    Thanks for your answer, but I already had tried a BDC screen capture and an LSMW for IMA2N transaction and the Easy Cost Planning screen is not correctly captured.
    Thats why I wanted to know if there is any BAPI.
    Thanks and regards.

  • RE: Approving supplement to an appropriation request which was already appr

    Hi All
    we will create an apropriation request with an initial budget and we will approve one of the different variants of the appropriation request....But in our business process we have to add supplements to the current appropriation requests every quarter ....And the supplements also have to go through the approval process( It is a requirement).....Can any one help me telling the different solutions. Pleaseeeee

    Hi Ravi,
    I saw your post and scenario 2 that you mentioned in your reply to Steve, is the scenario I am faced with. I would really like your input...
    I want to be able to create a budget supplement using AR process and workflow, but instead of replacing the approver AR with WBS(measure) I want to allocate the approved funds to an existing WBS as supplement...
    then do rollup and budget distribution...
    can you please advice me?
    thank you

  • Appropriation Requests

    Hi
    Can anyone explain me the importance of assigning a variant in Appropriation Request to a Plan version?
    Also, I need some help in understanding how to show the cost distribution in an appropriation request if multiple projects are assigned to it. Actually, the businses process I'm involved in needs to attach multiple level-1 WBS elements to an appropriation request. So, I would like to know if I can show the cost splitting between the projects in the Appropriation Request.
    Your help in this process is very valuable and will be rewarded with points.
    Thanks,

    I assume you have all IM relevant configurations in place (Program type etc.,)
    Below is as an attempt to mention the process involved:
    1. IM01 - Create the IM program
    2. IM22-  Create the Hierarchy structure (Ensure that AP's are allowed as measures)
    3. IMA11-Create AP request. In the General tab mention the Partner (Approver) as your self. In the Control Tab mention the IM program and the Position ID.
    4. Set the 'For Approval' status in Control data tab using IMA11.
    5. Approve the AP from your mail Inbox using SBWP
    For this to happen you need take help of an workflow consultant.
    a.T Code OITN and activate the Event Linkage for AP requests
    b.T Code PFTC, select the task type TS and task as 00300052, modify it from Menu Additional Data>Agent Assignment>Maintain. Click on attributes and select the radio button General Task.
    6. Create and Release AP using IMA11. Choose the Measures/Assets tab page, choose WBS element and on the control data tab set the status Release.
    7. Create WBS structure in CJ20N. System should transfer the IM position information from the measure.

  • Re: Approving two plan variants in an appropriation request

    Hi All
    I have created a variant 01 for appropriation request and approved it. I want to supplement the same appropriation request with a new budget. So , I created a new variant , and assigned it to a new plan version...But the problem here is I was unable to approve the new variant...The approval button is grayed out...Can anyone help me out please...Why the system is not letting me to approve the new plan variant.

    Hi ,
    as I said variants are like quotations, so you have to maintain it...........
    in case of rolling up plan values you have to select respective status profile before rolling up respective variant version or variant version range.......  (IM34)
    1. approved status profile...
    2. created status profile..
    3. released status profile...... like that
    - give both CRTD & APPRD versions  in IM34... select status profile for approved & roll up
    then check in IM36 ...

  • Number of Appropriation request submitted for approval

    Hi Friends,
    There are around 14000 appropriation request (AR's) are created in my system. And we have developed workflow for AR approval. And AR should be submitted for approval via only Control tab in IMA11 but some of the AR's are submitted via Variant Tab ( causing problem in work flow)
    Now I would like to know the number of AR's which are submitted via variant tab. I can find out this by selecting AR's from IMAK table and then checking IMA11 for each AR but it is very time consuming.
    Can I get the number of AR's submitted for approval via variant tab by using any table or any report available for this purpose.
    Any pointers.
    Regards
    Ashutosh

    The problem sounds more like a business area problem rather than workflow problem. From the workflow side you can look into the user who created the workflow but I'm not sure that would be helpful. What you might want to do is to check with your DB admin as they might be able to find out a way.

  • IM - Appropriation Request approval authorization based on Budget Value

    Hi all,
    Can someone help me confirm the following?
    I'm implementing Investment Management module and use appropriation request (AR) to approve budgets where AR statuses can be approved only by certain authorization groups, and we do not use Workflow. The problem is that we want the status change not only based on authorization but combined with the budget value. For example, for budget <50,000 then Superintendants can approve the AR but if it's >50,000 then only Managers can approve the AR.
    As far as I've looked, IM module does not provide this functionality where authorization can be restricted based on budget value. Can someone confirm this?
    Thx very much in advance!
    cheers,
    -Ri-

    The standard AR workflow sends a notification (document once approved) to the applicant and workflow to the approver (for approval). For details refer the link below:
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/2a/f9f542493111d182b70000e829fbfe/content.htm
    Standard reports under Investment Management>Appropriation Requests>Reports on Appropriation Requests>Master Data Lists ex.,T Code IMR5 - Appropriation Request Without Distribution Without Variants with changed layout to include system status would show you the required information.

  • Workflow for Approval of Appropriation Request

    Dear experts,
    I have been working on Workflow for Approval of Appropriation Request.
    Even after carrying out all the required configuration, the process is not working. Following are the symptoms:
    When appropriation request is submitted for Approval, I am maintaining user ids of approvers in the Partner field.The moment I click For Approval status the Approve Button is deactivated.Even when I log in from the Approver's user ID the button is Deactivated. 
    When I check the Business Workplace Inboxes of Approvers there are no Workflow related mails.
    please help me out
    Regards,

    srikanth,
    Have you maintained all the configurations related to Work flow in IMG? like activating event linkage, assigning agents, approval schema etc...
    Also, have you maintained the workflow automatic configuration in transaction SWU3,
    you have to maintain the following:
    1. create a user id WF-BATCH, user type system and maintain a password for this user (seek BASIS team help for doing this)
    2. Assign SAP_ALL & SAP_NEW in user profile tab.
    3. in SWU3, under Maintain Runtime Environment --> Maintain Workflow System Administrator , select line and click on execute button, select user - WF-BATCH, save and back.
    4. then in the same screen select *Configure RFC Destination * click on execute, system prompts with the user id mentioned in the above step, you enter the password mentioned in the first step, click OK.
    5. now select *Maintain Runtime Environment * click on perform automatic configuration button (f9).
    6. Ensure that the option Maintain Runtime Environment turns to Green tick mark.
    7. select Classify Tasks as General click on perform automatic configuration button (f9).
    8. Ensure that the option Maintain Runtime Environment turns to Green tick mark.
    Now can go to transaction SWDD, on the left side of the screen, in the field WORKFLOW enter this value* WS00300022* press enter. Click on test (F8) button.
    In the Test Work flow screen select BUS2104 line, it shows a new line at the bottom of the screen with the following options:
    Object type:  BUS2104, Key:
    You enter the appropriation request number in the  field key (you cannot directly enter value here, choose drill down option (f4) then a new window pops up, enter the approp request number, click ok.
    then click on execute (f8).
    Now you can check in the approver's business work place under Inbox - workflow.

  • Approval levels appropriation request

    Hi guru,
    for my appropriation request, I have 3 levels of approval.
    I want to know, which is the level of approval in every time.
    For example, I set my appropriation request with status " For approval" and the workflow starts.
    If i see the appropriation request the day after, I want to know if the appropriation request is to 1st level, 2nd level o 3rd level.
    Is it possible to know this information?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Raffael,
         There is no report for exact use your mentioning. But yes you can develop a quick report based on SWWWIHEAD and SWWUSERWI. Where as SWWWIHEAD will give you details of workitem and SWWUSERWI wil give you details about possible or actual agents for a given work item.
        Theer are some standard transactions as mentioned by other forum members. But by my experience users need to be more advanced than basic level users to understand it. if it is for your self then thos might be ok. But still if you need a report for regular monitoring i would recommend a bespoke report.
    Warm Regards,

  • Appropriation Request(IMAK-POSNR) is 'Approved' or not?

    How can we know that the System Status(RAIA1-SYSST1) of an Appropriation Request(IMAK-POSNR) is 'Approved' or not?  I mean in what table I can found this or if you can give the name of a functional module that will be also great.

    to change the status by user, he can modify the hours in the application and resubmit
    For administrator purposes, you should cats_appr_lite, you can reject the all time and do it,
    Do not make any changes directly to CATSDB< it might cause inconsistency
    So better use standard transaction like cats_appr_lite or cats_da

    You have to do the customization in IMG > Investment management > Appropriation Request > Planning > Specify Yield Curve for Determining Net Present Value
    Settings:
    1. Enter a yield curve for the currency,
    2. For each yield curve, enter any number of terms (The time period is not allowed to exceed 80 years).
    3. For each term, enter interest rate.
    After this Specify Value Date for Determining Net Present Value in the next step.
    Be sure of the cash flow for the variant, for correct calculation of the IRR and net present value.
    Reward points if the solution is useful
