Approval-process for publishing documents in Collaboration-Room

Hi @ all,
is it possible to use a approval-process for publishing documents form the private document store of a collaboration room to the public one? I it is, how I have to do it, I have no idea?!?
Or is there a way to give specific users the right to publish a document.
Thanks for your response!
Best regards
Kai

Kai -
I'm not sure about publishing from private to public. However, you can set-up folders in the Collaboration rooms to enable State Management. To do this, you'll need to use a system principal to alter the permissions on the specific Collaboration room document folder.

How to start approval procedure for a Document/Draft using DI API

Hi!
My code imports purchase orders from one non-B1 system to SAP B1 using DI API. The problem is that in B1 system there is an approval process configured and I need the newly created purchase order to enter this approval process.
Currently this is not done because approval procedure isn't triggered when creating documents using DI API.
I had an idea to create a draft of PO instead of the PO and then push this draft into approval process somehow. But I can't find a way how to tell DI API to start approval procedure for my draft/document.
Thank you for your replies!
Jan

Unfortunately there is no way to trigger the approval process for any object added through the DI API.
Your workaround of adding the documents as drafts is as close as you can really come but maybe you could extend it slightly - it will involve a UI API addon:
Make the addon mandatory, and add a UDF to the user table, for example "U_Approver" and a UDF to PO document, like "U_Approval"
- Set this U_Approval to yes when adding through DI and add as draft
- When user opens draft document in the application, check are they an approver (U_Approver = "Y")
- If they are not, and try to view/add a draft which is flagged as needing approval, block them from adding.
You could further expand your DI project to send a mail to the approver whenever a draft PO is added.

How to set up approval process for test case in SAP solution manager?

Hi Experts,
We need to setup a 2 level approval process for test case documents in SAP Solution Manager.
e.g. If test case document is uploaded for transaction "MM01" then first it will go to Reviewer1. Once Reviewer1 approves it , should go to Reviewer2.
Adn finally once reviewer2 approves it , it will be complete.
What are the required configurations and steps for approval process setup? It will be helpful if screenshots and detailed steps are provided.
Thanks.
regards,
Sanjana

Hi,
the above requirement we are going develop add on.below code is there. in this code how we can set for line level amount instead of document total amount
Private Function GetCondition(ByVal sCondition As String) As ApprovalTemplateConditionTypeEnum
        Try
            Select Case sCondition
                Case "Deviation from Credit Limit"
                    Return (ApprovalTemplateConditionTypeEnum.atctDeviationFromCreditLine)
                Case "Deviation from Commitment"
                    Return (ApprovalTemplateConditionTypeEnum.atctDeviationFromObligo)
                Case "Gross Profit %"
                    Return (ApprovalTemplateConditionTypeEnum.atctGrossProfitPercent)
                Case "Discount %"
                    Return (ApprovalTemplateConditionTypeEnum.atctDiscountPercent)
                Case "Deviation from Budget"
                    Return (ApprovalTemplateConditionTypeEnum.atctDeviationFromBudget)
                Case "Total Document"
                    Return (ApprovalTemplateConditionTypeEnum.atctTotalDocument)
            End Select
        Catch ex As Exception
            MsgBox(ex.Message())

Hi,
I have run into the same problem with SOA 11.1.1.5 version. In my case after fixing the following two errors it seems to work fine.
If you have followed the guide, there must be some errors:
First the java code if copied then contains an extra enter value:
Instead of:
"try {
System.out.println("Prototype for invoking an OIM API from a SOA Composite");
System.out.println("RTM Usecase: Self Registration Approval by Organization
Administrator");"
Use the following:
"try {
System.out.println("Prototype for invoking an OIM API from a SOA Composite");
System.out.println("RTM Usecase: Self Registration Approval by Organization Administrator");"
The other error is that you should not use <BEAHOME>/oracle_common/modules/oracle.jps_11.1.1/jps-manifest.jar, but the <BEAHOME>/oracle_common/modules/oracle.jps_11.1.1/jps-api.jar in jdeveloper. After these the deployment to the application server works fine for me.

Post order processing for sales document is not yet complete

hi,
sap gurus,
i am facing the error while saving the sales order and this ticket is unique and it is saying that
"post order processing for sales document is not yet complete".
please help me in this regard.
and it is blocking the order for further processing.
regards,
balajit

I dont think this is a standard error message. Some exit is applied for sale order to meet some requirements. You need to check with your ABAPer.
In fact, you can conclude yourself based on the error message number. If it starts with Z, then the above holds good.

Hi Sascha,
    Here I am explaining what is my requirement.
    I have created collaboration room and added room admin and members to the
    room.
    Then in the room maintaince -> I have added the room parts as
     News(private) and the role I have assigned to member.
     When login into portal with the member login and go to the news in the
      collaboration room, member is getting the permissions to add/create news.

Approval Process For Journal Entries

We are increasingly being asked to configure approval process for Journal Entries, especially from our larger customers. A move in the right direction was the addition of Stock. However no such addition was mode for journals. Has anyone developed such a solution or can Development give some indication as to where or if this requirement is on the consideration list.

Approval Process For MIRO

Hi All,
Can we have approval process for MIRO?
I know that It can not be done through REL Strategy.
I have come to know from some of the threads that it can be handled through work flow. KIndly provide the process how it is handled through workflow.
Thanks
Nitesh

Hi Nitesh,
Thro' MIR7, the invoice can be saved as complete (not parking) by the end user.
Thro' MIRO, the same invoice can be pulled and save as completed again by the relevant authority.
Unless it is confirmed in MIRO, MIR7 doc. can not be used for making payment.
Please check whether this route can be of use.

Dear SAP Gurus,
In our present client, there is a requirement is to have approval process for scrap inside SAP. And only on receipt of proper approval, the scrap should be posted and accounting should be generated.Please advice if it is possible to do so in standard SAP.

In standard asset accounting this is not available. An option for this is to set-up a workflow for the appoval proces

Approval process and publishing a document

Hi,
i have two tiers of approval for my folder and how does someone approve the contents,i mean how does the folder passes on to next tier for approval and how is it finally published?
how can the published contents be made visible for readers?
Thanks in advance,
jules

Hi,
First, you have to active Status Management Service (statemngt)in your repository, after that you have to restart portal.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/69/d96b86a84611d5993600508b6b8b11/frameset.htm
Then in your folder, details->setting->approval->you define step and approvers.
All document store in this folder will use the same approval process.
When a user approve a document, this documet is publish.
In this folder you save your documets, all user with read (only) permission, will see this document once is approved.
If you create KM Navigation iview to point this folder, the only documents visibles (by user with only read permission) will be approved.
Patricio.

Approvals process for Delivery document

Hello Experts,
I have a non conventional scenario, that needs to be handled by SAP Deliveries (Created without reference). Business scenario is as follows:
A research organization has multiple testing sites across the globe. It already has SAP system installed for its day to day processes. The organization has testing sites across the globe which order specific chemicals from a primary site. Now it is required to capture the delivery related part of this process needs to be mapped into SAP. SAP Delivery document would be used to meet this requirement.
However, the legacy system has an approval process in place. i.e. there are 4 lines in a request, it is quite possible that these 4 materials have 4 different 'owners'. These 'owners' 'approve' the release of specific chemicals in the legacy system.
The requirement is to map this line item level approval in the delivery document. However, Delivery Block is only at header level. Please provide suitable pointers so that this can be captured in standard SAP, or if not possible suggest appropriate customisation.
Thanks in advance,
Onkar

1. Would it be possible to control the workflow for a delivery at line item level. If yes how will the approval result in status change in Delivery?
I think we can initiate the work flow line item wise .It should be populate services for object tab.That is the reason when some thing is missed you should put some check point before you do PGI the delivery completly approved or not.
2. We have only 2 statuses: picking completion and PGI. The delivery in legacy system has 2 more statuses, and they are to be captured in SAP delivery(at header level). Is it possible to add statuses to the delivery, or use some of the standard ones?
What are other 2 status you required ?.If it is really required then check in any otions VOFM to add some fields in header .
3. I am not able to edit price in the delivery, despite adding pricing procedure, and making the item category relevant for pricing. The pricing fields are grayed out. Am I missing anything?
*Did you make any pricing configuration for the delivery type ?.If not do configuration.

N-step approval process for PO in SRM 7

Here are a couple of questions I have regarding N-Step approval configuration for PO in SRM 7 Process Controlled Workflow:
1) It's our business requirement that the last-change person of the PO is defined as the first approver in the chain. I tested with RR_EMPLOYEE and a hard-coded user BP number (my own), but got error "Strategy RR_EMPLOYEE did not determine any approver". Changing to any other user's BP number worked. So I am guessing the buyer himself can not be an approver. Since this is a business requirement, we wouldn't mind developing enhancement to work around this restriction. If you could point me to the place where this is checked, that would help me.
2) I have set up the process level configuration as such:
100     ZEV_PO_SL_APPR_001     PO approval level 1     RR_EMPLOYEE     Specify Employee for Approval
200     ZEV_PO_SL_APPR_002     PO approval level 2     RR_MANAGER     Get Creator's Line Manager for Approval
300     ZEV_PO_SL_APPR_003     PO approval level 3     RR_MANAGER     Get Creator's Line Manager for Approval
The corresponding expressions are simply checking against the PO total value, such as -
0V_PO_POTOTALVALUE >= 0 AND 0V_PO_POTOTALVALUE < 1,000
0V_PO_POTOTALVALUE >= 1,000 AND 0V_PO_POTOTALVALUE < 25,000
0V_PO_POTOTALVALUE >= 25,000
But when I checked the Approver list with a PO with total value > 50,000, only the first level is triggered and listed. And once approved, the PO went into "Ordered" status. But it should have gone through 3 levels of approval. I'd greatly appreciate it if you could point out what might have been wrongly defined in my configuration.
Thanks!

SAP recently released the consultant OSS note to handle this issue.. when the release the SRM 7.0 , SC requestor or PO creator ( Buyer ) cant be in the approval list.. later on they release a OSS note to handle this issue.. 1551561\

Creation of auto approval process for assigning role for a user in oim11g

currently i'm doing a scenario like a user must be automatically assigned to a role by using approval policy where the user is already there in oim and then we use csv file in that we take 2 columns like userlogin and role name so by running this scheduled task user must be automatically approved to that role.But i have to use the default auto approve policy in oim without creating any bpel process for that so can any one suggest me how to proceed with this scenario.
Thanks in Advance for quick response.

If I understand correctly, You have users and their respective roles in csv file. Users are present in OIM. You want to assign those roles in csv file to respective users?
If this is the scenario, you need to write a custom code for schedule task which will read data from your csv file, create roles and assign them to respective users.
to create custom schedule task in OIM 11g, you may refer to:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/doc.1111/e14308/scheduler.htm

None approval process for Purchasing Info Record

Hi,
Are there some approval process in SAP for Purchasing Info Record?
Now, we use ME11 to creat Purchasing Info Record. And use ME12 to modify Purchasing Info Record. I feel it is very dangerous. Becase if someone make a mistake. Nobody know.
If the price is lower than actual price, vendor must ask us modify it. If the price is higher than actual price, I am not very sure what will happen.
So, we are seeking for an approval process in SAP system.

There is no approval process in standard,Since it serves as master.
Better provide authorization for ME11 & ME12 to restrict it.
Raise quotation to maintain vendor prices.
