Approval question

Hello, i have SRM ECS which uses BADI n steps. I want to know that if i my approver can add another approver in my circuit. i.e
1)i have created my SC.
2) Approver 1 approves the SC.
3) Approver 2 adds another approver( say approver 3).
Is it possible.Thx.

Hi Antish,
This is possible. You can control it with the definition BBP_CHNG_AGNT_ALLOW.
Go to Tx. SE19 and create your implementation.
Use the method AUTHORISE_FOR_INSERT.
Regards,
David.

Silly Podcast approval question

Ok this might be a silly question but when I submit a Podcast to my Podcast Producer server and choose to submit for approval it does the work and an email is sent to me telling me that it has been submitted for approval and the path to the files. That's all good so far - My question -
What am I supposed to do to approve or reject the podcast??????
Thanks in advance
Gary Finch

It's a completely manual process right now. You'd have to take the stored recording and resubmit it through Podcast Capture (or some other means) if it's approved, or do nothing if it's not!

Approver question for CUP

Hi GRC guru's
As we are in the process of customizing CUP ,I have couple of questions so kindly help me out here
1. When requestor select roles which belong different approvers how does the request gets processed
example roles selected are Z_XYZ who's role approver is Tom and second role Z_ABC with role approver John , how is this request handled ?
2. When you run risk anlysisin CUP and you find out that there are risks and there is no mitiagtion control in RAR for risk produced , how will the approver proceed ? should he go back and perform the mitigation in RAR and then mitiagte the risk in CUP or is there a way to mitigate the new risk in CUP which can then be automaticallly pushed to RAR ?
3. Is there way to populate user group in the access request form and is there way to populate the license type in CUP?
Kindly clear my doubts ,Thanks in advance
Regards
Keith.

Hi Alpesh and all
I would like to follow up with your answer to Keith's question below.
1. When requestor select roles which belong different approvers how does the request gets processed
example roles selected are Z_XYZ who's role approver is Tom and second role Z_ABC with role approver John , how is this request handled ? Both the role owner would get email and can approve the request at same time. Unless untill both these approvers approve/reject the request, request can not move to next stage.
My question,
Is there a way to allow users to submit one request with 2 roles with different approvers, if the 1st approver approved the role, the 1st role to be provisioned to immediately without having to wait for the 2nd approver to approve the 2nd role?
The two roles both satisfy the critiria of the same initiator (attribute Role, and both roles are in the role list). Since the roles fall under the same path and stage (only 1 role owern approval stage), I noticed the 1st approved role was not provisioned until the 2nd role is approved. Is there a way to work arond that? It make sense to go ahead provision the 1st role without having to waiting for the 2nd role to be approved or rejected. The roles have the same approval requirement so they should use the same initiator and workflow path.
If you or anybody knows the work around, I would appreciate your sharing the info.
Thanks.
p.s.
I did a test to submit a request with 2 roles, each role satisfy a different workflow initiator therefore different paths are used. 1st role was approved through 1st path and provisioned immediately while 2nd role was waiting in approval stage in the 2nd path. The request is closed once both path were completed.

Guided Procedure Visual Approval Question

Hi,
I'm developing an action that call a Visual Approval user interface.
I have 3 questions:
1) When I click in Approve or Reject button the action is completed and this message is displayed:
(information icon)Action has been completed
I want to display a screen like a summary screen with the information about each step. It's possible with standard templates like Visual Approval?
2) If I click in Reject button, where I know that these action was repproved?
3) Can I get the buttons (Approve or Reject) value in another screen (like grouping parameters)?
Thanks,

Hi Manoel,
1.After the visual approval CO is executed the screen will be only as you specified, it is predifined and you cannot change it.If you want to display some summary you got to create another CO and add it in the same block and the result state of the Visual approval should be assigned to the new CO for display.
2 . Upon clicking the reject button the control will flow to the action specified in the result state of the reject button.
3. Instead on using a Visual approval if you use a webdynpro CO this is possible. While setting the result state you can set the value as the out put of the co and do parameter mapping to get it in the next CO.
Let us know the result....

AME duplicate approver question

Hi all,
I am working on iprocurement module in Oracle R12 and using AME for PR approval process.
May I know for the following two approval situations (Assume all approvers are in the same approval category):
1. A->B->C->B, can I just keep the last occurrence of approver B and make the approval matrix become A->C->B? Seems the configuration variable "repeatedApprovers" will make the matrix become A->B->C
2. Only remove the duplicate approver in the next step. ie. A->B->B->C will become A->B->C, but A->B->C->B will remain unchange.
Thanks in advance.

Credit/Loan Approval Questions

Need some help on what to do to with my credit to get best interest rate. So my current scores showing in MyFico are 603, 612 and 615. Fico Auto 8 score is 629. This past weekend I was at a dealership and they pulled my credit giving me a 583? Why would there be a difference? Here's the situation.Have about 4,800 left on a car payment that has about 16 months left, interest rate was around 1.9% This is my oldest account- opened in 2011. I just read that you should keep your oldest account opened. I have about 4,700 in credit cards with the limits totalling 5,500 - I know this is high utilziation. I will have access to 5k in cash in about a month. I cannot decide what would be the best route. Should I pay off my car or pay off credit cards? Which would look better?I am leaning toward credit cards. I had a collection account that I just paid off this past month that was about $700 which is still showing as not paid - it should be updated soon - but I'm sure that will get me declined until that is updated as paid. Current payment is $310 My current income is about 2,600 per month. I don't have rent or mortage payment. I am wanting to finance for about 38-40k Would it be better to take that 5k and put as a down payment? Or maybe even pay enough to get credit cards under 30%? I also have a student loan that is in defferenment until 2018 - will this be taken into consideration to be approved? If so how do they factor this in? I have a co-signer with about 2,600 per month also if needed. What would give me the best credit profile to be approved with the best rate?To add - I want a Jeep Wrangler - does anyone know how hard or what kind of score you need to get good financing?

Southernchic wrote:
I typed the income part wrong it's about 70k combined (minimum as it can be more as my other half frequently works overtime but I've heard they only count your base income?) 1.9 would be nice but I'm not expecting to get 1.9% as circumstances were different when I got that, I think under 5 % would be do able. I was simply asking does it matter to the banks of you already have a car payment when you try to get one? And what would be the best solution. I've read you won't be approved with multiple auto loans but I've also read you shouldn't pay off or close your longest open account which is what my car loan would be. So I guess Paying off credit cards (12% rates) would be the best. I am hoping to get lower than 38-40k but I just put that out there as a max. What about the collection accounts that have been paid - will that be an automatic decline? I just checked and that account has been updated showing a zero balance but it says agreed to pay for less than full amount, this is incorrect as the original amount was wrong and I paid the correct amount we agreed to. Should I dispute this, how will that look to banks?My wife and I actually just bought her a brand new Jeep Wrangler last month so I'll give you our experience. Our combined incoming is currently around 74k. We did file for a chapter 7 bankruptcy last year so our situation may be a little different. We had trouble getting approved because neither one of us had experience with car loan above 20k. Our scores were in the 640s/650s. Under 10% credit card utilization. We ended up having to have her dad co-sign on the loan with her through Ally Financial for 37k, 1k down at 6.9%. And he has a mid-700 score 150k income. We're hoping to refinance with Navy Fed ASAP. Absolutely pay the credit cards down. To boost your score, one card should be reporting less than 10% balance, and the others zero. This will give you your best chance. And the reporting is correct if you did settle for anything less than the full amount owed.

Parallel approval question of the workflow process.

Hello Expert,
I have the following business process scenario which will be realized by new BPMN. My qusestion is how to do with it on BPMN?
I have one human activity in one step. The condition to pass this step is that all the potential owners of this step should approve, if one rejects this step, then workflow terminates. Is there anyway to reach the solution, i mean the task is sent to the approvers parallelly and i want to get all of their response?
Any help will be appreciated..
/BR
Erick

Hi Erick,
a few words of warning though:
If the end condition for the recursion is not modeled correctly and the process runs into an endless recursion you can easily break the system with this! Since the NetWeaver BPM is trying to pick up where it left off, such a situation can not easily recorvered from, even by restarting the server!
Recursive subprocess calls consume quite a bit of resources, so it is not recommended to do this with many nesting levels. Start out with only a few and look in the SAP MMC how the Java memory behaves. But I guess for a (hopefully short) list of approvers this approach should be ok.
Modeling this correctly can be a bit tricky. From my experience you should especially mind two important points:
Make sure you synchronize concurrent executions paths (creates with a parallel split gateway) at the end with a matching join gateway.
Do not put the end condition for the recursion in the correlation condition of the start event of the subflow: this will cause the subflow to never start and hence never return to the calling process. The result will be that the main process never terminates. Use an explicitely modeled exclusive choice gateway for this.
Best regards,
Oliver

PR PO Approval Question

Hello Experts - We have a business requirement from our current client and nee dyou expert advice on how to map build this in system:
1. PR Created through network or work order and moving average price was copied from material master
2. PR went through approval process
3. Next step is to convert the PR to PO using existing contracts
But what business is asking that
Apply some tolerance limit between PR price and PO price.
If PO price is within the tolerance limit then transmit the PO to vendor.
If PO price is above the tolerance limit then do not transmit the PO to vendor, change the price in PR and trigger the PR approval again. Once PR is approved, transfer this information into PO and transmit the PO to vendor.
The goal is to have th ePR and PO price same as thi si san audit requirement.
Does any body have any suggestion it can be done? Appreciate your valuable feed backs.
Thanks,
Shams

Hi Sams,
This will possible through ABAP development.
You can check & explain your issue.
like Whan PO create with ref to PR the contract basic price should be same. otherwise the PO should through Error message.
based on that you can change the PR value & set release for that then you can process.
This is possible through ABAP developemt.

Sales Order Approval questions

Forum,
I have an approval in place which is configured to alert when the Gross Profit % is less than 20. I just want to confirm that this is for the overall order total and not the individual items on the sales order?
Regards,
Juan

Gordon,
Thank you for your response. As this is the case, I am trying to create a query for an approval which if items are less than 20% of the gross profit % they will require approval.
I have only got to this part, can anyone assist?
SELECT 'TRUE'
FROM OITM
WHERE
T0.ITEMCode = $[$5.0.0]

Pre approval question

Hello fellow members I put in an application for a preapproval from Navy Federal. They pulled my credit on 6/18. Since then I have not heard one word from them. I have called and my LO just tells me it is in the UW department and he will let me know when he hears anything. My question is, has anyone ever actually gotten a preapproval after waiting this long? Also, if it was a simple denial (sort of like I was expecting), do you think I would have been told sooner. Its been about three weeks so far. Thanks for any input.

thank you frugalQ and everyone else for the feedback. It does seem very odd how this process is going. I was hoping NFCU would work out since i have my car loans through them but perhaps their mortgage department is not the best. This app was intended to see where I stand more than anything else so I will probably hold off on apping anywhere else. I am in a rental lease till Feb so I was hoping to hear what i need to fix in order to be ready for the process later this year. Thanks again.

RME JOB APPROVAL QUESTION

When I schedule a job (non-immediate), e.g. a netconfig job to add snmp community string, I get the error message" CFG0021: Could not create job. Possible cause: Cannot submit jobs for approval. Approval emails cannot be sent".
I have the correct smtp server sitting on the same subnet as the LMS Server (version 3.0) as well as a valid exchange id.
Any suggestions will be great.

Check the smtp.log and see if there are any related error messages

Juniper Approval Question [from a n00b]

This is probably the wrong section, so I apologize in advance.
Anyway, does anyone know if Apple would be willing to do payments or something for those who do not qualify for the Juniper card? I am homeschooled and need a new computer, our PC has ran out of room and its effecting my school work.
Tried applying for the juniper card, that way I would get monthly payments that were around 60.00 per month, which is perfectly fine with me. I would be able to make the payments every month on time, its not a problem. The total for what I am buying would come up to 2400.00, so you see where payments would come in handy. There is no way I could make the payment all at once, again I need payments.
Does anyone have just the slightest idea on if I contacted them and explained my situation that they would be willing to let me do payments at all? I really need the computer for school, like my education depends on it. I just wouldn't want to call and make a fool of myself, you know?
Thanks!

You're describing a very simple work process that should be quite easy to implement in GP.
There are only a few things you need to develop (write code):
- build an app to allow the user to select the role (or roles) they want
- determine who the two other participants should be - you could even use a group for the 'role assignment' processor, so you could 'hard-code' the group assignment to the role step, and then assign/remove the correct people to the group
- construct the email templates, and the CO's to send the email.
Follow the sample GP on this page:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/4a/d78041a17e060de10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm
This should help you get your feet wet with constructing your first GP.
I would start with constructing the process to use hard-coded values, and then build the components of the app to allow the user to enter the roles required, as well as determining approvers.
Hope that helps you out!

Hi Kashif,
Thanks for your response.
For the Invoice Approver question:-
Ques:- if the Invoice is Not-Approved (or) if it needs Re-approval, If Invoice Approval Status <> Approved, then what is the name of the person which we are waiting for approval..
As you said the ap_wfapproval_history_v table , I'm not sure whether this table has history data (or) can i get Next Approver from this table.
I tried to do in this scenario :- For one invoice_id which needs Re-approval, when i looked into ap_wfapproval_history_v table with this invoice_id there are 4 Approver names ,against each of these approvers the Response column shows either SENT or APPROVED. So, how will i know by which Approver this Invoice needs
Re-Approval.
please could you clarify.
Thanks
