Approval procedure still to be executed when "owner" of PO is changed

Please can anyone assist?
Client has a Head Office and a number of depots in different reqions. Busy in the process of giving access to depots to create own Purchase Orders. At the moment, Head Office has number of support staff that still need to create PO on behalf of depot manager, depot manager cannot connect or is off sick.
Currently approval procedure is set up that PO over $500 created by depot manager needs autho by the senior manager. Customer wants the suport staff in Head Office to create PO, and change the "owner" to that of the depot manager, when he is unable to. However then the approval procedure does not send the PO request to the appropriate senior manager for approval. They want SAP B1 to allow PO to be raised by someone else, recognise the "owner" (field) of the PO and to route the approval request to the necessary manager.
Any advise on whether this is possible and how to do would be appreciated

Hi Caren-Lee Brunsdon ,
In ref. to your scenario. The solution is simple in the approval template setup for the depot manager include/ add the Support memebers in the orginator of the approval template to refer the support members the statement "someone else, recognise the "owner"
The authorisation is not based on the owner code it can be done but, i'd suggest you to use the standard SBO functionality.

When Owner field on opportunity changes, change the owner on the revenue

Hi,
I have a requirement in which if the owner on an opportunity changes, then the owner on the opportunity revenue line items should change too.
Any suggestions.
Thanks,
Nitika

Hi,
You can achieve this using webservices.
Whenever there is a modification at the opportunity, you can assign that record to Integration event queue using work flow, you can have a batch interface schedule every half an hr or so which will query Integration event queue and update the corresponding Product revenue line item owner.
Hope it helps,
Thanks,

Query that will run on the items matrix and trigger Approval procedure

Hello,
We are trying to design an approval procedure whenever an item code appears in a certain UDT.
For example, we have many items in OITM.
We have 50 of those items also in @BIN.
The approval procedure should be triggered only when the document lists one of the items that appear in @BIN.
I am using the following query:
SELECT 'TRUE' where $ [$38.1.0] IN (Select code from [@BIN] )
The problem is that the query would only search on the first row and wouldnu2019t continue to the next rows.
Do you have any idea how to bypass this limitation?
Thanks in advance
Revital
SELECT 'TRUE' where $[$38.1.0] IN (Select code from [@BIN] )

Hi Revital,
One way to implement this functionality would be to use a UI API that verifies the values while filling the items in the Matrix. For this you would need a little programming knowledge but no extra license.
There is a lot of information including Code Samples in the SDK Package delievered with every patch of Business One.
Kind Regards,

Approval procedure in DIAPI

Hi,
Does the approval procedure work for DIAPI?
My requirement is as follows:
I have a user defined field on Sales Order header level.
If the value of this field is 'Y', the document should go for approval.I have set up this approval procedure and it works fine when i do it from B1.
I want that same thing should happen when i create a Sales Order using DIAPI.
Is it possible, if so how?
Thanks.

Hi Satish!
I'm intrested in it too, but...
...but there is no approval-interface in DI for now.
hope we'll have that feature in future.
what about opening message at portal or creating DRQ?
FYI: Approval Procedure doesn't execute

Use Transaction Notification in Approval Procedures

Hi
I want to use the "SBO_SP_TransactionNotification" Stored procedure in one of my approval procedures. I have implemented a approval procedure based on certain criteria when a "PURCHASE ORDER" is created. Now i want to send an email out to certain users when a approval is needed for a PO.
I m not sure if transaction Notification is being used when Approval procedure are involved. For all POs that does not require an approval , my code for emailing uses in the SP is working fine.
Has anybody came across this scenario? pls help.
thanks
raghu

SBO_SP_TransactionNotification is not compatible with approval procedure. This is clear mentioned in SAP Notes. You may not use this SP in associated with approval. I think there are alternative ways to achieve your goal.
Thanks,

Approval procedure when update sales order that hasn't been approved

Dear Experts
I need some advice
Example:
- BP credit limit = 100
- Create New Sales order with amount 90, doesnu2019t need trigger approval procedure, because the amount is still under limit
- Update the SO amount to be 110, approval procedure should be triggered
But in SBO, approval procedure is not triggered for update transaction even for SO has not yet been approved, is it a bug? Will it be improved in SBO 8.8?
Is there any other way to trigger approval procedure in update mode? May be through store procedure or add on?
Really appreciate your help
Best Regards
JeiMing

Dear Gordon
I understand the concept for approval will not be triggered anymore for approved SO, because once a transaction has been approved, user will not be allowed to make any changes that related with the approval. And SBO has been made restriction for that. It is good
But, It doesn't make sense, for SO that even the approval has not been yet executed. And SBO still allow user to make any changes such as quantity and total amount. And SBO do not trigger the approval if the modification meet approval condition
If SBO was designed not trigger approval in update mode to avoid endless loop as what you said, why SBO still allow user to make any changes in unapproved SO ? it makes user can avoid the approval
Don't you think this is a bug ?
Please advice
Best Regards

Approval Procedure not triggered when Credit Limit Exceeded

Hi,
I've defined an approval procedure which I would like to launch when a clients Credit Limit has been exceeded. I've checked the required fields on Administration > General Settings > BP tab (credit Limit, Commitment Limit, AR Invoice, Delivery, SO). I've also checked the Activate Approval Procedures on the same tab.
I know the approval procedure has been set up the correct way, since it is launched when I change the Terms to for instance 'Total document'.
There is a system-message when I am creating a Delivery Note for a customer indicating that the credit limit for this customer has been exceeded. But still, the system allows the user to add the document without triggering the approval procedure....
What am I doing wrong?
Btw: The credit limit exceeded is in negative numbers, but I've tried both the condition 'Deviation from Credit Limit greater than 1' and Deviation from Credit Limit Less than 1...

Could you clarify what you mean by "The credit limit exceeded is in negative numbers"
Negative number: the system message I get when I create a delivery note for a customer, exceeding the credit limit is the following:
Customer has exceeded credit limit - 95.479 EUR
Customer has exceeded commitment limit - 95.479 EUR
Continue (Y/N)
Make sure the Credit Limits are set in the BP Master. --> OK, credit limit is set to 100 EUR, Commitment limit to 100 EUR
Also use Great than in Ratio and try to use a small number like 10 in the value --> I am using 1 EUR
Also, check in System Initialization > General Settings..BP Tab Activate approval procedure is checked. --> it is checked.
Using the range option does not solve the problem, in fact even if I use 'Deviation from Credit Limit does not equal 1 EUR' the approval is not triggered. When I use the same Approval template, but I alter the terms to Total document greater than 1 or Discount% greater than 1 the approval is triggered.

How to create approval procedure when saved as draft?

How can I create an approval procedure where the document is saved as draft?
Specifically, returns saved as draft where document total is greater than $3,000 need approval.
Thanks

Hi,
Approval Procedures cant be used in draft mode. Approval Procedure itself acts as document in draft. It wont do inventory postings & financial postings as well. Just create approval procedure with your requirement & try.
I am looking forward your reply,

Wrong stage in Approval Procedure

Hi All.
Recently, we've upgrade our SBO (2007A) to SP01, PL08 and then we noticed a strage problem regarding Approval Procedures.
Our Approval Procedure Template (for POs) has 2 stages as below:
First stage - st1
Defined Approvals - 2
Required - 1
Second stage - st2
Defined Approvals - 5
Required - 2
Scenario
1.Document Add, the Approval Procedure takes into action and goes to st1. OWDD: CurrStep = st1, MaxReqr = 1.
2.One of the approvals in st1 approves and document goes to st2. OWDD: CurrStep = st2, MaxReqr = 2.
3.One of the approvals in st2 approves. OWDD: CurrStep = st2, MaxReqr = 2.
and here comes the surprise:
When another user of st2 approvals approves the document, the document does not become Approved, but is still suspended. When checking OWDD, I see that CurrStep = st1, MaxReqr = 2 !!!
SBO had "jumped" the process back to st1, but now it requires (somehow) 2 approvals.
Did anybody see such a behaviour? Do you know any solution?
10x in advance,
Beni.

hi,
try to do this as your work around,
1. try to edit your Approval template and updated it
2. try to make a new Approval template identical (2 approval templates that does not behave the way u want)
in this case u cant test your old approval template and new approval template.
best regards.

Outgoing Payment Approval Procedure - Payment Wizard

Hi,
I was having an issue with the SAP Approval Procedures I was hoping I could get answered.
I have created an Approval Procedure for Outgoing Payments in SAP 8.82 to always require approval.
The approval procedure works fine when I create an Outgoing Payment by going to Banking >> Outgoing Payment >> Outgoing Payment.
If I try to create an Outgoing Payment via the Payment Wizard, it does not go through the approval process.
I have made sure that I have enabled the "Activate Approval Procedures in DI" functionality under General Settings. It still does not do the trick.
Can someone please tell if this is an SAP bug or not? If not a bug, any suggestions as to what I might be doing wrong.
Thanks,
Krishnan

Hi Krishnan,
I believe this is by system design or another word a system limitation. The logic here is: if you are able to run the Payment Wizard, you have authorization already.
A work around may be creating a user alert whenever you have the Payment Wizard run.
Thanks,
Gordon

Query base multiple levels PO approval procedure

click on the Pencil icon and copy over each of my queries and save it using a different name.
