Approval Process of Quotes via Workflow

Dear Experts,
I'm looking for a Workflow solution, with which I can elektronically appove a Quote. In detail it means e.g. to reales a quote, two sgnatures are mandetory. These two people should be chosen inside the quote as a partner. After Savind they should get an e-mail notification and be able to approve the quote via e-mail (Outlook) or inside SAP.
Is there a possibility to do that via workflow? How? Do anybody has some experience?
Other proposals?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Abbas

1. backup the existing Update user workflow as an xml file
2. Copy paste the same in the BPE.
3. Save the copy as a new object with a different name.
4. Edit the new workflow as follows:
4.1 Create new activity
4.2 In the new activity, add a variable with some name
4.3 create a new action, and let that action be a subprocess. For that subprocess, browse and choose 'Approval' as the action.
4.4 Add a argument as name=approvalForm and value=<name of approval form>
4.5 Include argument user=$(user), etc. (Check the original approval workflow to see what the names of the arguments are)
4.6 For return to=name of the variable declared, from=approved
4.7 Add a 'isTrue' condition for the variable declared.
5. Make the appropriate transitions, and ur ready to go.
Let me know if this helps. I can post some skeleton code tomorrow. I need to work on it. Drop a line at [email protected]

Difference between Approval process signature strategy and Workflow

Hi Everybody,
I just wanted to know the difference between the approval process and Business workflow. How both of them useful in PLM prospective ??
Thanks,
Rajesh

Hi,
Approval or digital signature process in PLM involves creating authorization groups, signature strategies and assigning individual signatures to signature strategy groups.For example, to create digital signature for Engineering Manager, you create authorization group say ENGMGR and define it as individual signature and assign it to a signature strategy group.
Business workflow is used to automate a business process.For example,it can be used in PLM-DMS for document review process.This can be triggered by status change(has to be defined in customizing) in document.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Pavana

Approval process in update user workflow

Hi
I have read in the document Administrative Guide that by default, the approval process is set only for user creation. and the same does not work for update and delete operations on user, unless we customize the code.
Does any one of you have any idea as to what customization needs to be done for successful approval process for updates also. I have set approvers for resources.
Thanks

Approach to create a generic Approval process using SOA human workflow ?

Hello Experts,
I'm looking to create a generic approval process using oracle soa human workflow component using JDev 11.1.1.5
Have about 7-8 existing applications which do some kind of 'approval' . So need to create a generic solution for all 7-8 applications, instead of users logging into 7-8 different applications to approve by logging into different systems. Just want to have like a 'one stop shop' , where i can just go and approve for any application without having to log into separate applications.
I'm looking to get some suggestions and ideas, on how I can achieve this functionality ... Any suggestions/ideas are appreciated .
Thanks a lot.

Hello,
you can find multiple sample on the web like those
http://www.splessons.com/2013/12/create-state-machine-workflow-in-sharepoint-2013-using-visual-studio-2012/
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee231606.aspx
I don't think that's very different using VS2013 or VS2012

Supplier Created via Workflow Approved By Default

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement in Create supplier via workflow where I have to make
Purchsing hold check box unchecked and Approved Supplier check box
checked by default ,I have customized the vendor registration via
workflow process wherein I have written a script to make Approved
supplier checkbox under header checked by default,in supplier creation
via workflow page but When the workflow ends and the supplier is
approved and I click on Done and come out of document,the Approved
supplier checkbox is unchecked though the supplier is created and we
are getting a background error as well saying that the approver does
not have enough permission to view the document though we have provided
all the necessary rights to the Approver, please suggest as what could
be the rerason for Approved supplier to be unchecked though the script
is running fine and what could be the reason for background error as
this is not the expected behavior.

Hi Dhiraj,
Thanks for yor reply , I have written the code in script.and the issue is resolved by writing two scripts .

Travel Request Approval Scenario via Workflow does not trigger

Hi guys,
System Information: SAP ECC 6.0 EHP4 / Using WDA-Scenarios on Portal NW 7.01.
I'm having trouble understanding/implementing the approval scenario of the Travel Request via Workflow/UWL. POWL isn't usable for us as it isn't flexible enough to process the complex agent assignment rules for the respective approver our (momentarily..) requirements 'dictate' ...
What I did so far:
I copied the Workflow Template 200000040 to a custom template (since I'll have to alter it) and activated the Event of Creation for BUS2089. Thus, in SWE2, the respective entry for BUS2089 for the event CREATED has been set by the system. All good so far. When I create a TRIP via PR05 (we are public sector), the event for BUS2089 gets fired in SAPMP56T and the Workflow gets triggered; works out well. However, when I post a travel request in Portal (FITE_REQUEST), the workflow is not getting triggered. I searched for information or similar questions on the forum but didn't find anything. Neither did I find a concrete clue in the View Containers FITE_VC_* etc..
Could anyone assist me with this? I'm sure I'm missing something very basic here.... -_-
Bottom line:
Why is my workflow not getting triggered from creating travel requests via FITE_REQUEST?
Cheers, Lukas

SWE2 linkage is activated for my Workflow number (I didn't do it by hand, it's set by the system since I activated the event in my workflowtemplate --> this way actually no inconsistencies can happen).
SWDD Tests are successful and the Workflow is working well in general. That's why I pointed out in my previous post that the process is working fine when initiated via PR05.
EDIT: Or maybe somebody knows the part in coding FITV_FPM/FITE_VC* where the workflow should be triggered? It's freaking unfindable, I've been debugging for hours. >:-(
EDIT: Debugged the entire WDA Frmaework for like five hours...feeling dead inside...someone please tell me from where the workflow gets triggered when saving travel request from portal -_-....

RFQ Approval Process through Workflow

Dear experts,
We are on planning phase of RFQ release approval through SAP Workflow. There is an issue I would like to hear from your valuable thoughts.
When an RFQ is created, ME41, all individual bids are collected under a unique collective number. Once price maintain process is done through ME47 for all bidder, we would like to send all RFQu2019s, with necessary information, which are linked to a collective number in one e-mail even if there are tens of RFQu2019s linked a collective number, not one by one sending it as we do in PO workflow process.
Is it possible to realize this case within SAP standard approval process? Because so far I noticed that once fundamental customizing is done after price maintaining step RFQu2019s are send individually, one by one, to approvers.
Cheers

Dear Melih,
I suppose you want to get approved the best offer in the bid. The best practice is to have a strong rules based on predefined criteria which quotation to be choosen by Purchasing. Then PO/contract/scheduling agreement/PIR can be maintained.
What we have done in our system is that the PO created goes for approval based on Chart of authority via Enterprise portal. A report, displaying the key figures from the RFQs in the bid, vendor evaluation scoring for each vendor, if available and some other data, is linked to the workflow item and displayed during approval process.

Ognian

How to use a pwa group in CREATE A TASK PROCESS in SPD 2013 for project server workflow approval process

I am working on a Project Server 2013 workflow. I am creating this using Sharepoint Designer 2013. In this workflow I am using approval process at one stage. I have created a security group SalesManagers in PWA. I want to use this group for workflow approval
process. I want all users of this group get approval tasks.
For this I used START A TASK PROCESS activity in the SP Designer. I clicked on
this user and created task process. But here I could not find SalesManager group which I created in PWA. I was only able to find the users. I can also see
Administrators for PWA . But couldnot find SalesManager or any other security group created in pwa.
Can anyone suggest how I can get the security group created in pwa.

NBDevelopment,
I believe SPD only recognizes the SharePoint Groups and not the project server security groups.
The Administrators for PWA, and few other groups like Project Managers for PWA etc., are synced SharePoint Groups with the security groups, which is why they show up in SPD.
You could create a SharePoint Group for the Sales Managers group and use that in SPD.

Error during approval Process flow in Process controlled workflow

Hello Experts,
We are in SRM 7.0 classic scenario using Process controlled workflow.WE recently connected a new backend R/3 system to our SRM system i.e we now have 2 R/3 backend system connected to SRM system
It is regarding the two new additional account assignment categories that came into picture when we connected the new R/3 backend system to our SRM system, i.e. Asset and Network.
There seems to be some problem with the approval workflow for those SHC, that have such Acc *** Cats.
Please find below my obeservations:
- if you have just one line item in the SHC, and this item is either booked on Asset or on Network, than everything goes fine. After the Acc *** approval, the PR is created in R/3
- if you have SC with a mix between an "old" Acc *** Cat (Cost Centre, WBS and Order) and one of the "new" Acc *** Cats, than the workflow is not working as required --- the manager, that is responsible for the accounting approval of the two positions (e.g Cost Centre and Asset) gets only one work item in his approval overview --- in that work item, the two positions are there, but the Asset one is grayed out --- so, the Manager approves only the Cost Centre positions and than the SC is no longer with the approver --- if you observe the SC now from the requisitioner point of view, the status of the line items in the approval process overview of both(!) lines is "approved", but the overall status of the SC is still "in approval"
Can you all experts plz let us know why this is happening and how this can be resolved?
Any pointers will be highly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
RKS

Auto approval process in workflow

Hi,
We are implementing customized workflow with approval/rejection process
There should be a auto approval process when agent does not complete task within 3 days.
When the approval is done then we are sending emails and performing some actions.
When the auto approval happnes after 3 days we do not want the workflow to terminate but it should end.
Kindly suggest if it is possible.
Thanks & Regards
Rahul

Rahul,
You can use a 'modeled deadline' to set the original workitem to obsolete after (say) 3 days.
There is a wizard available to help you with this (in ECC 6.0).
Then, on the obsolete outcome branch, you can add a new (background) step that approves
the item automatically. (This is assuming you have an 'approval' method available for the object).
hope this helps

Approval Process in the workflow

Hi, in the current approval process, where the user receives a notification and then when the user clicks the approve button, it will build up another email and with all the messages and the user needs to click "send" to send the email, this is in Microsoft Outlook. Has anyone ever tried to customize so when the user clicks " Approve" button, it is automatically processed behind the scene without opening another mail and click "Send" button? Thanks.

I don't think this is possible.
When you click on the approve button and send an email, a few things happen.
An email is formulated with the notification id and a code that corresponds to the action the user took. The email is sent to your Oracle EBS.
Oracle EBS has a process that reads the incoming emails; deciphers the notification id and the action_code from the email and processes the workflow accordingly.
Making changes to this architecture will be tough if not impossible.
Hope this helps,
Sandeep Gandhi
