"Approval Process Overview" in ECC.

We have SRM 7.0 running in Classic scenario. We have a requirement to see the "Approval Process Overview" Log in the ECC Puchase requistion generated after the approvals are completed in SRM. (preferably at Header)
What are the options available for us to be able to do that ?
There is a Download XML in the Approval process Data field, Can it be changed to Download as Excel, and an excel file passed as an attachment to the Shopping cart and Purchase Requisition ?

The intent behind this scenarios is to split the Approval process in two parts,
a) Part 1: SC Creator creates Shopping Cart and routes for approval on a Technical Basis. Once all technical approvals are completed and Shopping Cart is approved a PR is created with Release Strategy in ECC.
b) Part 2: Financial approver would approve the PR in ECC on the basis of Amount against release strategy. The requirement is for the financial approver in ECC to have visibility on who has Technically approved the Shopping cart without loging into SRM.
Once the financial approver validates that the Shopping cart was approved by a set of people, he goes ahead and releases it in ECC for further processing.
Our challenge is to get the approval lprocess overview from SRM to ECC.

Approval Process Overview tab?

Hello,
I'm trying to work out how to populate the approver list table on the Approval Process Overview tab.
We are on SRM7.0 SP7 using a custom application controlled workflow.
The approvers are determined correctly but the approver preview list is not populated.
I have created a container element Approver_List (type BBP_WFL_APPROVAL_TABLE) and populated with approvers like the N-step BADI does but this is not being displayed.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
John

Hello Ramki,
The custom approval task looks like:

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

PO approval process in ECC for extended classic scenario

Hi All,
At this moment we are using SAP ECC for procure to pay process. In the existing system set up, our ECC purchase order goes for approval via SAP enterprise portal(EP). We are planing to implement SRM 7.0 Extended classic scenario, so that user can take the advantage of creating PO in their web portal. We don't want to disturb our existing ECC PO approval process at this point of time.
So our requirement is :
User will create PO in SRM. Same PO will replicated in ECC and the PO will goes for approval in in ECC and the PO output will generate in ECC. Can it me possible in extended classic scenario ?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Jennifer

Hi Jennifer,
Since SRM PO will be leading PO in extended classic scenario, why donot you design the process controlled workflow in line with the existing release strategy that you are using for ECC PO?

Is there any way to achieve offline approval process in ECC the way it is in SRM?

Any help will be highly appreciated.

PO Approval Process - Statuses Query

Hi All,
I am not able to figure out when will the following combination of statuses will occur in a PO Collaboration with Approval Process.
Distribution Status : Updated by Customer
Change Distribution Status : Published by Supplier
It will be great if anyone can illustrate this with example.
Regards,
Bharath

Hi Nikhil,
Thanks for the answer. But in my tests, when one / more of a PO line item is set to "Manual Approval Required" after the Approval Process, the statuses are as follows:
Status 1:
Distribution Status : Published by Supplier
Change Distribution Status : Updated by Customer
If the Buyer logs into SNC Web UI and approves the deviation, the statuses change to :
Status 2:
Distribution Status : Published by Supplier
Change Distribution Status : Published by Supplier
This triggers a PORDCH Idoc which goes and changes the ECC PO and sends a new PORDCR1 / RON to SNC. After this the status becomes:
Status 3:
Distribution Status : Updated by Customer
Change Distribution Status : Updated by Customer
So my query is when do we get the remaining combination of the statuses i.e.,
Status 4:
Distribution Status : Updated by Customer
Change Distribution Status : Published by Supplier
This is primarily to define the PO Chnage Profile. As per std. SAP Change Profile, for Status 1 & 3, the PO is editable by supplier but for status 2& 4 its display only.
Regards,
Bharath

Service entry approval process in MM-SRV-SUS by client engineer

Dear Experts,
We are implementing the service entry process in the classic scenario. In the new process, the service agent of the supplier will enter the service entry sheet from the SUS. Once triggering of the service entry sheet is completed, the service entry sheet will have the status of 'No Acceptance'.
Here comes the client requirement. The client wants to have two step approval process for service entry sheet. In the first step, the supervising engineer of the client will approve the service entry sheet. Then the next step of approval will be financial approval which will be done by the cost center manager.
In the existing process in SAP MM, the supervising engineer of the client enters the service entry sheet manually and goes through one step approval of the cost center/org unit manager approval. The existing approval process is implemented with release strategy available in ECC.
How can the new approval process be implemented? What characteristics should be used to enable the system to find the first level approver i.e. the supervising engineer? is it achievable through release strategy?
Any idea or thought will be highly appreciated.
Thanks and regards,
Ranjan

Dear Masa,
Thanks for the advice, I still have one more question.
Does this mean I don't have to follow SAP's advice stated below?
In the Plan-Driven Procurement with Supplier Integration business scenario, you can use Supplier Self-Services (SUS) and SAP Materials Management (SAP MM) in conjunction with each other.
SAP MM is used as the procurement system, since this scenario involves the procurement of direct materials.
*This business scenario is not suitable for the procurement of services or indirect materials*
In other words are there any consequences for using the MM-SUS plan driven procurement scenario for services instead of direct materials?
Kind Regards,
Arie

PO approval process in ByD

We have been doing approvals of PO based on cost centre and value and happy with the way it works.
We now want to also do PO approvals based on Project Tasks and though on the PO you can "see" which cost centre is defined against that Project Task the approval process does not "translate" or recognize the relevant cost centre.
Is anyone creating PO's where the details are project task based rather than cost centre and how do you make the approval process work for these?
Grateful for any help

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

Developing Balckberry Approval process using WAPI's

Hi All,
I'm very new to world of workflow handling.
I have a requirement in Blackberry Approval process.
One of our client is currently using SAP Workflowto send PR items via Outlook to the approver of these PRs. The approver then gets an email which contains a link to the Portal where he/she approves or rejects the PR.
Now, along with the email to the approver, the approver should also get the PRs on his/her Blackberry and should be able to approve or reject the PRs from the Blackberry Device itself.
The UIs for blackberry haveto be developed using webdynpro for Java.
I need to know how do I link the blackberry webdynpro application to workflow?
How do I get the WorkItems to the blackberry device?
I would be grateful if anybody could guide me in this. Overview of steps to be followed is also welcome, I'll explore on the individual steps.
Thanks and regards.

For you to test Approvals, you have to setup a number of things;
1. Supervisor Hierarchy (If using that as hierarchy)
2. Job Levels (If using Job-level approvals)
3. New rules for SSHR functions.
The getApprStartingPointPersonId function returns the starting point person ID for the transaction in the HR_API_TRANSACTIONS table. It uses that to traverse the supervisor hierarchy based on the approval.
Hope this helps.

Is it possible to include t-code information in tx SM50 (Process Overview)?

Hello, folks!
I'm the Basis guy responsible for monitoring SAP system activities at the company I work for, and one of the main tools I use to do this task is transaction SM50 (Process Overview), which give us some valuable informations, but one very important and missing info is the transaction code that started the corresponding process, as transaction code is the most known form for both technical staff and end-users to determine what is being done in the system.
I asked our ABAP team to develop a custom ZSM50, but they're struggling to find a way to include this information, so we would like to ask for help, if any of you knows a way or a hint on how to do it, please inform us, and we would be very grateful.
Thanks in advance,
Reginaldo O. Andrade
SAP Basis Support

I don't think you can rely on a 1:1 relation from process to transaction code, the programs that you see active in SM50 could be started by background jobs, asynchronous RFC and probably many other techniques that would not allow a 1:1 relation to a transaction.
Not 100% reliable, so not really possible, in my opinion.
