Approval Preview not displayed in Shopping cart

Hi,
On creating shopping carts through Plan Driven procurement, we are changing the cart status from the default "Ordered/Approved" to "Awaiting approval". The approvers are displayed in BBP_PD for this Shopping Cart, however the same is not visible in SRM portal.
We have also refreshed all the templates, but the Approval tab and Overview link, is not displayed in shopping cart.
We are on SRM 5.0, 5.5 server, Extended Classic scenario with SP 17 and have implemented N-step approval work flow BADI to determine approvers based on the cost center entered in shopping cart.
Kindly provide inputs to have approvers displayed in SRM portal.
Thanks,
KB

Hi,
SAP does not provide the standard solution for triggering the WF from external system ( ECC )... any document create outside the SRM, system will automatically put the status to approved... even 0-Level wont trigger... you can activate the nstep workflow by following step by step help...

Approved shopping carts not displayed in shopping cart status report

Hi Gurus
we are facing an issue in shopping cart status report. When the approver selects 'Approved by me' in shopping carts status report system is not showing any list. There are number shopping carts approved by the user . Other selection like selection period, status , completed indicator were selected properly. But if the approver selects 'Rejected by me' the system is showing all the shopping carts approved, rejected, and awaiting approval related to the approver.
This is happning with one user only. We had checked user authorization and parameters and every thing is fine . Aslo compared the same with other users for whom this report is working fine . We are in SRM 5.5 extended caassic senario.
Any suggestions/solutions on this
VB SAS

In olden days of SRM , we forcily assign account assignment for PR which do not have accounting data in the PR to create a successful SC in SRM and remove the account assignment while creating a PO in the backend.
but since your in SRM 7.0
and also you made ensure that your PR has account assignment but it is not sitting in the cockpit.
and your shopping card trying to create a PO and failed right?
since it has incomplete data , how PO is creating. How system can create a PO without vendor.

Approval preview not displaying approval details in 'Check Status'

Hi All,
I am facing an issue in the below scenario:-
First a requestor creates an Advice Special Request Form which goes to a purchaser for approval. The purchaser rejects this item and adds a new item by creating a special request form and fills in correct details. While he does this, the cost assignment for the items is different(multiple cost center assignment). Then he approves this Shopping cart. When the requestor Accepts the Changes, he is not able to view the approver details. But once he clicks on change option, then the approval details are shown in the approval preview.
Is there any way that the approval details are shown when the user clicks on the 'Approval preview' as the SC has already gone for approval to the manager? Is there any particular reason why only in change mode he can see the approval details?

Dear Poster,
As no response has been provided to the thread in some time I must assume the issue is resolved, if the question is still valid please create a new thread rephrasing the query and providing as much data as possible to promote response from the community.

Prefered vendor not displayed for shopping cart

Hi,
We have PDP scenario, SC's originated from R/3 purchase requisitions,
Issue details:
1. P.req was created with desired vendor and transfered to SRM and corresponding shopping cart is available in SOCO.
2. User created Held PO for corresponding SC.
3. When user checking monitor shopping cart then preffered vendor not displayed in source of supply tab.
When i checking BBP_PD for shopping cart, i found there is Disable flag(X) has been set for NO inbox selection partner.
what could be it mean, and more ever this changs has been originated via RFC user.how it was getting RFC user
Please advice me....

Venkateshwar
SC is generally sent to SOCO only when sourcing has to be carried out for the SC. IN this case you are hving a desired vendor in the SC and then you are creating a pO for the same. Although you have a Vendor in the PO that does not mean that SC will also have same vendor as preferred vendor in SC after you created the PO....

Display other shopping carts without change/delete possibility?

Hi,
We are using SRM 5.0 and some users needs to display shopping carts created by other, without given the access to change and delete those shopping cart (should still be able to change/delete one's own shopping carts).
Anyone who has a solution on how to give users this authorization? Monitor Shopping Cart transaction displays all shopping cart, but the delete function is active.
Thank you.
Christina C-W

Hi Christina,
If i understand your requirement correctly, it is as follows;
1.) User shall be able to change/delete their own shopping cart.
2.) The same select user shall be able to view other shopping carts but will not be allowed to change/delete a shopping cart.
Solution:
1.) User shall be able to change/delete their own shopping cart.
Analysis: The use can still continue to use the "Check Status" Transaction to change/deletre their own shopping carts.
2.) The same select user shall be able to view other shopping carts but will not be allowed to change/delete a shopping cart.
Analysis: Build a Custom Z role that will have access to the BBP_MON_SC (Monitor Shopping Cart Transaction). Use the BADI BBP_MON_SC and use the method, especially the one highlighted in bold below:
BEFORE_SELECTION_SCREEN
This method is carried out before the selection screen is displayed.
Default values for the selection screen can be set in the following structures:
CS_HEADER
General Data
CS_ITEM
Item Data
Furthermore, you can define the functions available in the list or define whether icons are active or inactive:
CS_HEADER-AUTH_TRANSFER
Transfer Shopping Cart to Backend
CS_HEADER-AUTH_GET_STATUS:
Update Shopping Cart with Data from Backend
CS_HEADER-AUTH_ALERTS:
Display Error Messages from Monitor Shopping Cart
CS_HEADER-AUTH_SC_DISPLAY:
Display Shopping Cart Overview or Items
CS_HEADER-AUTH_SC_CHANGE
Delete Shopping Cart/Shopping Cart Item, Change Erroneous SC Item
Also, in the BADI, you need to make it specific to the Z-role that you had created, so that your standard monitor shopping cart transactions work for other standard or custom role in your organization.
Hope this info helps !!
Pls assign points for usefull answers !

Bugseye catalog does not return a shopping cart occasionally

Dear Experts,
We have a problem where Bugseye catalog items sometimes randomly do not return a shopping cart into the SRM portal side. This happens randomly for any Bugseye items after restarting the browser (IE8 and Firefox 3.6.13). Otherwise the Bugseye catalogs are running fine with an https connection.
After the browser restart, about 1/3 attempts to create a shopping cart from Bugseye catalogs return nothing. Instead the user is brought back to 'Shop in 4 steps' screen without a shopping cart. After the failed attempt a user lock is created (tcode SM12) and the shopping session left open. Once a shopping cart is successfully returned, it does not fail again unless the browser is restarted. The error happens randomly and we haven't been able to figure out any logic behind it. We have verified that the source codes in the Bugseye side, just before continuing to order items, are identical for a successful and non-successful tries. We have also placed breakpoints in function module BBP_WS_IMPORT_SC_DATA, to ensure no errors are issued for the items
Does anyone have any idea what could cause the problem?
We are running SRM7.0 Extended Classic Scenario ( SRM 7.00 SP11). Requisite Bugseye version 4.0.0.25.
Here is an example Standard Call Structure for the catalog:
10                              https://orsrdd01.orion.fi:8001/requisite/BugsEye     0 URL

After System update, to SAPKIBKV10, when creating a shopping cart, the error message "Order not allowed before shopping cart take over" appears.
THis functionality was never in use and is not activated. How to resolve the issue

I want the ATP QTY field to be displayed on Shopping Cart

I need the ATP QTY field to be displayed on Shopping Cart as a part of Customization. The standard functionality displays the ATP in Check Availiability page. May I know the changes to be done to achieve this customization
Regards,
Ram

Hi,
No you can add the customer fields in the header level also.
Please look at the below structure to add the custom fields.
INCL_EEW_PD_HEADER_CSF_SC      Customer Enhancements on Shopping Cart Header
INCL_EEW_PD_HEADER_CST_SC      Tabular Customer Enhancements on Shopping Cart Header
INCL_EEW_PD_HEADER_SSF_SC      SAP Internal Enhancements (IBUs, and so on) on SC Header
INCL_EEW_PD_HEADER_SST_SC      SAP Int. Tabular Enhanc. (IBUs, and so on) on SC Header
You will find this useful.

SRM 5.0 - Approver Names Not Displaying in Approval Preview

Hi,
Has anyone experienced the following problem in the approval preview applet?
Were using the WS14000133 shopping cart approval workflow. The approval preview stopped working once we moved it to production January 1. The approval preview in production doesnt display the names besides the approval steps. It displays the correct number of nodes/steps but not the name beside each node/step.
If the cart is ordered, the approval requests are delivered to the correct approvers. The BADI is returns the required information for each step as well.
We did not experience this problem in our non production systems.
Thanks,
Jerry Martinek

Hello Jerry,
Can you please check whether they have maintained the fullname in the SU01 settings and also make sure that the right value is being populated in the ls_approval_agent-name with the fullname(either with last/first name) of the user in the badi.
Hope this may solve your issue.
Best Regards,

Approved by Me -Report is not displaying the Shopping Basket

and ALL , it is not displaying the Shoppingbasket approved by me

Can you give some suggestions in which functions module to check or any other clue

AD-hoc approver n step item level shopping cart workflow

Hi
We are on latest version of SRM and using n step item level SC approval workflow.
The scenario goes like this:
-     Requester creates shopping cart and workflow goes for two step approval.
-     In the approval preview the requester is able to see both levels of approvers, which is correct.
-     Requester now selects second level approver and replaces him with a ad-hoc approver. WE DO NOT WANT THIS. Requester should NOT be able to replace an approver determined by approval badi. However should be able to extend approval step with ad-hoc approver say third level approver a ad-hoc approver. Also he should be able to change AD-HOC approvers ONLY.
Thanks
Joe

Jo,
You may be able to achieve it in the BADI BBP_WFL_SECUR_BADI .
You can use the Business Add-In (BAdI) BBP_WFL_SECUR_BADI to determine whether
A shopping cart can be changed during the approval process
The approval workflow restarts when changes are made to the document
A reviewer/approver can be added or changedThese are the call scenarios (see import parameter SCENARIO).

Suren

SRM 7.0 customer fields not saved in shopping cart

Dear experts,
I have created 2 fields using the fields extension in the customizing and set the metadata for them to be displayed. The fields are visible on screen. However when data enteres, this data is not being saved in the Shopping cart document.
Any clues?
Another question, which is a bit techno, is when i have extended the SC screen using the enhancement framework instead of using the standard extension options. i would have thought that by binding these fields to the standard header node with the custom fields as structure would have saved me the job of throwing data and fetching data from the table/bapi. This isn't working either. I reckon the problem will be related to issue #1 above.
Regards
Ali

Hello Ali,
did you extend both the structure INCL_EEW_PD_ITEM_CSF_SC and INCL_EEW_PD_ITEM_CSF? It should be useful to define a custom structure that contains your fields and append it to both the structure named above. Then re-check if the metadata structure has been enhanced properly (in your case, view /SAPSRM/V_MDF_IC).
Hope this helps,
Matteo
EDIT: I was assuming you were intended to add new fields at item level. If your task is to add fields @ header level, simply substitute HEADER to ITEM in the structure's name.

Notifications are not coming for Shopping cart rejection

Hello All .
We are running on SRM5.0 550 Supportpack 17. When the 2 nd level apporverrejects the shopping cart . Requster is not getting notification to his inbox . When he check the shopping cart staus in check staus , it sayd "awaitng for approval " instead of in your inbox .
Shopping cart created by requestor .
First level approver approvers the cart .
Second level approver rejects the cart .
Ideally shopping cart come to requesto's inbox to change the shopping cart .
but in our case shopping cart status showing me as awaitng for approval . But i can see deduct_ind was set to ''X'.
We are using the Nstep workflow . WS14000133. Sub workflow is WS10400051, WS10900032
WS10400051- though we have activate a created a new version. still from workflow log it was showing me as old version .
When i try to open the template in SWDD , it says "Warning ,You are not editing the active version"
Could somebody can provide mesome pinter to solve this issue .
Thanks in advance .

Hi Vinod,
Thanks for your reply. But this was working earlier. We also have our own mapper class for the customs things we did.
But i am not sure of the reason, suddenly this is not working after some SP20 releases.
What all the basics things we need to check this?
Send to Mail functionality working - this ensures email is going
Admin Notifications - This ensures the subscription is working.
Update Admin notifications - This ensures the notifications are sent when we update the subscriptions
like this, what all the things we need to check for the resources inside the folder?
Thanks,
Senthilkumar

Price from MDM is not transferred to shopping cart in EBP

Hi all,
we are implementing MDM 2.0/SP2 for SRM. Actually the catalog content is fully available, the only problem is that I don't get the price from catalog into shopping cart via OCI. When I browse through catalog coming from EBP every price in MDM-shopping cart (WEB UI) is displayed correctly. When I transfer the articles from MDM-shopping cart to EBP every field is transferred correctly except price. When I test with Fiddler I also don't see price coming in, and I also don't see any system message in system log SLG1 of EBP.
These are my settings:
Price in MDM data manger like:
     Price Information: 1| |AVL Graz|12.14| Euro
OCI:
NEW_ITEM-PRICE            Price Information -Amount (not transferred)
NEW_ITEM-CURRENCY    Price Information - Currency (transferred correctly)
NEW_ITEM-PRICEUNIT     Price Information - Price Base Quantity (transferred correctly)
Did you guys have a similar problem before?
Best Regards Thomas

Hey Thomas,
As specified by u can see items with their prices in the Data Manager as well as in the Shopping cart but not on EBP side.
These were the settings u had specified:
OCI Mappings:
NEW_ITEM-PRICE Price Information -Amount (not transferred)
NEW_ITEM-CURRENCY Price Information - Currency (transferred correctly)
NEW_ITEM-PRICEUNIT Price Information - Price Base Quantity (transferred correctly)
Please do check wether the items which u r purchasing is having all the values populated.
Bcoz as given u havnt specified Orderunit field and Minimum Quantity UOM.
As per my understanding to purchase any item, and take it onto the EBP side with its price the Orderunit field must be populated with Unit of Measure.
After inserting values in Order unit and Minimum Quantity UOM then go and check wether its price is taken from the Shopping cart to the EBP.
Please check it will work
Do let me know
Hope dis helps u
Regards Tejas...............
