Approval procedures stopped working

Hi,
The approval procedure on SAP B1
stopped working suddenly and documents are
getting saved directly . Please help.
Can it be due to xlreporter which was installed
yesterday
regards

Check whether someone removed active tick mark in
required approval template.
or
If you mentioned any condition in terms,If condition fails
then approval procedure won't trigger.
Application won't get affected on installing add on xl reporter.

Fix Approval Procedures to work on Update

I opened a ticket with Support concerning the condition where a user who is subject to approval procedure can circumvent the approval process using the Update process. Support suggested I post my recommendation here.
Say a user is subject to approval procedure whenever they post a Purchase Order above $1000. Today a user can create a PO for less than $1000 (which doesn't trigger an approval). Next they Update the PO so that the document total is greater than $1000. On Update, NO approval procedure runs. Support said this is current functionality. This is a huge hole in the approval functionality that makes it practically useless when a user knows it's this easy to circumvent. Support said this issue was previously reviewed and decided not to fix it. I'm suggesting that it's imperative this is fixed.

Agree. The approval procedures are completely useless as it is far too easy for the user to work around them.
Our risk & Governance department has reviewed SAP Business One and handed out a very bad report because of a few holes in the system.
We currently use the system for our subsidiaries and it nearly fails every single test executed by the auditors.
1) Approval procedures must work for an update process (this would fix 80% of the issues).
2) It must be capable of identifying critical and non critical fields (such as the bank account on the supplier record).

Approval Procedures Not Working for Gross Profit %

Dear all expert,
I have a problem about approval procedures. I make approval procedures for gross margin less than 0% (minus margin) that will ask approval to approve it. The problem is if I input 1 item that have minus margin, approval procedures run well but if there is more than 1 item that have minus margin, approval procedures is not run...Why this is happen ? Is there any one that use that term has faced same problem too
Thanks for your help

Hi,
as far as i understand you prove if there is any magin less then 0% in a marketing document. So i think you run this approval for each line and that does not work. If you enter one line, the procedure works fine. But any other line will not be proved.
There is no standard way for approvals based on lines.
Regards Steffen
P.S. Of course a bit of SDK will help, but you can not solve this without.

Approval Procedure not working randomly on sales orders

Hi Experts,
We place approval procedure for 2 users in SAP B1 2007B pl15.
Some SO does not pass approval procedure and we cannot trace why. The are 2 set up for approval procedure 1 for within on below credit limit. The other one beyond credit limit.
Does anyone have the same problem with Approval procedure?
What do I need to check to isolate the problem?
Regards,
Amy

Hi Gordon,
We tried to disable the SO query beyond credit limit in a test database to check if the approval procedure will run if there are no other queries checking the credit limit. Now we only have one query running- the SO within credit limit.
We eliminated another possibility for the error. The error occurs for a newly created BP. The approval procedure will not work in SO is the first SO ever created in the system. All subsequent SO will go thru the approval procedure even if the SO, DN and Account balance is zero
1)We also tried this query and diabled the SO Beyond Credit Limit
SELECT DISTINCT 'TRUE' from DBO.ORDR T0 INNER JOIN DBO.OCRD T1 ON T0.CardCode=T1.CardCode Where T0.CardCode=$[$4.0.string] and T1.CreditLine >=(
(case when T1.Balance = 0.00 then 0.00 else T1.Balance end) +
(case when T1.OrdersBal = 0.00 then 0.00 else T1.OrdersBal end) +
(case when T1.DNotesBal = 0.00 then 0.00 else T1.DNotesBal end) +
+$[$29.0.number])
2) We also tried the Deviation from credlit limit is less than .01. Still error.
Is this a system error or error in the query?.

Amy

Create Orders of Sale from DIAPI, Approval Procedures not works

Hi Experts,
I generate Orders of sale, from an application for DIAPI, the orders have approval procedures of authorization but they do not apply to the generated orders, which I must do in order that he executes them.
Thanks,
Carlos.
SAP B1 8.8, SQL 2008, WinSvr 2008 x64

Hi
If you create sales order through DI API then it will go not for approval. You can try an alternative first create it as a draft , later when the draft is converted to sales order it will go for approval

To Activate approval procedure in general settings

Hi all,
I am a Beginer, when i work with approval procedure,
Administration->System initialization>General Settings> BP tab-> Activate approval procedure.
I tried to uncheck the activate approval procedure and work it, again i coulnot able to enable this option please any one suggest me how can i enable this option.
Regards
Selva

Hi Selvaraj,
First and foremost check which user id you have logged in as...now if it is a Regular User( i.e.a non super user) then you simply go in and log in as the super user and there you will find that the system will allow you to check and Uncheck Activate Approval Procedure box.
Approval Procedures work on the principal that they apply ion the lower level users that is the Regular user and when you have logged in as a lower level user the box will always be greyed out. Approval procedures do not work on super users.
Please check this out and revert. Please Reward points if useful.

Approval Procedure on Document Update

I have a approval procedure that works great when a Sales Order is initially created. The approval procedure does not trigger when an order is updated?
Is that normal behavior?
If so is there a way to have it check on update?
Thanks

Hi,
I think it should be fixed ASAP. If this is the case then there is absolutely no point in having an approval process in place at all?
If there is a purchase order approval created for PO's over 5000 for example, then all the user has to do is create an order for less than 5000 and then update it afterwards to what ever amount he/she likes, and it will go through without any approval?
I really think that this should be given some urgent attention!

Condition in Approval Procedure Rule in ChaRM not working properly

Hi experts,
We are on 7.1 SP8.
We have Z-partners defined and included those in the Approval Procedure too. In order to fill the approval procedure steps with the default partner, we defined a rule policy.
For example step ZMCR000001 needs to be filled with BPE by default.
This works fine.
But when we want to overwrite the default value with another value, the default is always put back over the manual entered value.
Also manually added process steps get that same value.
It looks as if the last step of the condition is not working properly (i.e. the check to see if the approver is already filled).
Can somebody tell me how we can get manually entered values in there?

Hi ,
You can play with User status, add to condition in which user status you dont wont this to be triggered.
Example add "And User status equal ZMCR Created":
On staus created you get automatic approval determination with default partner ID's
Now on Validation the rule will not be triggered and your manually added values saved as is.

Error: Lock profile for approval procedure not maintained in Customizing

Hi,
We are working on the CHARM approval process. I have noticed that without selecting an approval procedure, I select the status (Awaiting business approval) on which the approval workflow is triggered, the system gives below error:
Select an approval procedure first
Lock profile for approval procedure not maintained in Customizing
Approval procedure and approval steps are locked automatically
This locks the approval procedure and the RFC can no longer be processed further. Why is that happening ? Anyone can select the status by mistake and lose the RFC, is there a way to stop this or at least reset it ? the lock procedure is already maintained in approval procedure customizing.
Best Regards.

Hi Karthik,
Thanks for the quick reply, however the settings mentioned on page 38 are already in place i.e. the approval procedure gets determined correctly based on change category (rule policy) and also is locked after putting it to 'Awaiting Approval'
But the problem exists - setting the status 'Awaiting App.' without selecting app.proc, will result in a total lock of the RFC.

Query Based Approval Procedure for Sales order .

Hi
I have created query for SO which results above 5000 d 50,000 .
By using this each query i created two seperate Approval Procedures which So is >5000 d >50000.
If So>5000 Approval Procedure wants to activate same thing for >50,000., Bur approval Procedure is not working wat will be the cause. i have linked this query In Terms as when the following applies.
If SO >5000 approved by user A.
If SO>50,000approved by User A & B.
Regards
Giridharan

Hi Giri
Your query for the first should be as follows:
SELECT DISTINCT TRUE
WHERE $[$29.0.NUMBER] > 5000 AND $[$29.0.NUMBER] < 50000
For the second query:
SELECT DISTINCT TRUE
WHERE $[$29.0.NUMBER] > 50000
The query you were trying to use is looking at the table which will only apply to documents already posted, and as that query is not being filtered specifically it is bringing back all the records and getting confused. You must reference to the runtime value of the document being posted.
Kind regards

SSRS Execution Service Render Method stopped working

Hello SSRS Profis!
I'm having the following Problem:
I was trying to integrate SSRS in my Company-Software, and until today it went quite good:
Its an ASPMVC 5 project with WCF-Services, and in these i had methods to render reports with the help of the ReportExecution - Webservice (2005), the Version of the MSSQL Server we use is 2008R2, reports use stored procedures as data sets.
Everything worked fine, i could render all my reports in the services, gave the result back to the Frontendprojects to present it there, it worked fast and properly.
Until today: For some reason, the call of the ReportExection.Render() - Method gives no more results back.
Debugging shows me that it works approx. the same time as it did before for every report, but the result now is only "null" for every report i integrated until now:
Here is the code I use to execute the service (for network credentials i use a user with administrator privilegue who can access all the reports (tested in private session), Parameter constructio also should work properly because it did before, same
for the Report path...
Any Ideas would be helpful!
private byte[] getPDFFromReport(string ReportPath, Dictionary<string, string> parameterDicitionary)
ReportExecutionService rs = new ReportExecutionService();
// private method to set a user with enough permissions
rs.Credentials = SetServiceAccount();
// Render arguments
byte[] result = null;
string reportPath = ReportPath;
string format = "PDF";
string historyID = null;
string devInfo = @"<DeviceInfo><Toolbar>False</Toolbar></DeviceInfo>";
// Prepare report parameter.// mapping Parameters, gives back ReportExecution.ParamaterValue Array, still works as it should
ParameterValue[] parameters = SetReportParameters(reportPath, parameterDicitionary); DataSourceCredentials[] credentials = null;
string showHideToggle = null;
string encoding;
string mimeType;
string extension;
Warning[] warnings = null;
ParameterValue[] reportHistoryParameters = null;
string[] streamIDs = null;
ExecutionInfo execInfo = new ExecutionInfo();
ExecutionHeader execHeader = new ExecutionHeader();
rs.ExecutionHeaderValue = execHeader;
execInfo = rs.LoadReport(reportPath, historyID);
rs.SetExecutionParameters(parameters, "de-de");
// rs.Timeout = 300000;
String SessionId = rs.ExecutionHeaderValue.ExecutionID;
Console.WriteLine("SessionID: {0}", rs.ExecutionHeaderValue.ExecutionID);
try
result = rs.Render(format, devInfo, out extension, out encoding, out mimeType, out warnings, out streamIDs);
execInfo = rs.GetExecutionInfo();
Console.WriteLine("Execution date and time: {0}", execInfo.ExecutionDateTime);
catch (SoapException e)
Console.WriteLine(e.Detail.OuterXml);
// Write the contents of the report to an MHTML file.
return result;
Edit:
I tested the methods with the same user in an WindowsForms Project and got a result. In a former Version, it also still works. I changed nothing since the last deploy in this methods, so can't imagine why it suddenly stopped working....

Found the solution!
After checking team-foundation-changelogs of the last checkins, it turned out that somehow automatically some value in the reference.cs of the reportexecution - webservice was changed from:
[return: System.Xml.Serialization.XmlElementAttribute("Result", DataType="base64Binary")]
to
[return: System.Xml.Serialization.XmlElementAttribute("Value", DataType="base64Binary")]
After deleting and readding the webreference to the Project, it worked again.
The next Thing to Research for me is how it can be, that this value automatically changes. Possibly because of different Versions of VS in the dev-Team.. (Ultimate and premium) In any case, this issue is solved, thank you for reading :)

ITunes Has Stopped Working (10.3.1)?

So before I downloaded the new iTunes, it kept saying "iTunes has stopped working." when I tried to open it.
After multiple tries, I finally resorted to uninstalling it, and installing the new version.
Still, it says "iTunes has stopped working." I tryed the repair option in the Control Pannel for both iTunes and QuickTime. QuickTime opened up just fine, and works as it should. Again, I opend iTunes, but checked the details, and this is what it's saying -

From other posts, you usually could fix it from reading the Fault Module Name and repairing the name of whatever it was, but I have no idea what to do with this.
To play it on the safe side, I am doing a virus scan, but I have'nt downloaded any thing that would carry anything harmful lately.

Taken at face value, you're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept.)
Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. Now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "Apple Application Support" and then click "Repair".
If no joy after that, try the more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure from the following post:
