Approval step without adhoc capability. No preview possible

Hi All,
I'm using the standard n-step approval workflow (SRM 5.0) for shopping cart and have implemented the workflow badi. It works good for the approval process.
While the user rejects the cart it works good until the 2nd level of approvers. But from the third level though the cart gets rejected it's throwing me the error
" Approval step without adhoc capability. No preview possible " in the graphical overview.
Can anybody please help me to overcome this issue. Points will be awarded for the solution.
Thanks & Regards,
Prasnna

    Hi
    In the approval preview section of SC, the message 'approval step without adhoc capability, no preview possible' is displayed. The approvers are being shown in the preview.
    What could be reason for this?

  • Approval step without ad-hoc capability. No preview possible

    In both SC and PO WF, the approval preview shows the text  :" Approval step without ad-hoc capability. No preview possible"
    Can you tell me what could be the problem ? .I can approvers determining correctly from the badi . In the preview I can see approvers correctly . this message still shows after approving shopping cart completely also.
    Thanks in Advance .

    Hello Latha,
       This error will not come until you add Ad-hoc approver at last level..for an example.. there are 5 approvers determined by Badi.. You will get this issue when you add Ad-hoc approver after 5th Level of approver then all approver(Including Ad-approver) approved the SC / PO. Here is the solution for this issue.
    write the code in your Badi after you appended the approval_table.
        data : lv_index type i.
        describe table approval_table lines lv_index.
         if actual_approval_index gt lv_index.
         no_further_approval_needed = 'X'.
         endif.
    please let me know if you need anything help.

  • "Crazy" parallel approval step

    Hi all,
    I'm using R3 v4.7 and I have a very strage problem in a
    workflow to approve purchase requisitions.
    I use a parallel step with 7 forks (4 mandatory and 3 optional according to the material groups). In this parallel step I use the deadlines to approve automatically after x days.
    In some cases I get the following "crazy" behaviour:
    the workflow doesn't continue in this parallel step in the normal way. The green line that highlights the flow in the log has interruptions that I don't understand and some tasks can be sent to any user since some steps are skipped wothout a reason.
    I still don't know if there are OSS notes about this issue and I should like to know from you if you have found a similar problem using deadlines. The other approval steps (without deadlines) never had a problem like this.
    I'd like to attach a screenshot of the log to be clearer...
    Thanks in advance and best regards,
    Angelo

    Hi,
    I had a similar issue a while back for a condition. The first step after the left branch somehow returned to the right branch, it looked pretty weird in the workflow log.
    I then wrote an OSS message and in the end someone fixed it, it was caused by corrupt data in some of the nodes tables, SAP couldn't tell me how this was possible though.
    Other times this can happen if you're on DEV with a couple of WF developers, it then helps to refresh all of the buffers or even logging of and logging in again.
    Kind regards, Rob Dielemans

  • Adhoc Approval Step

    Running on SRM 7.0 -   Processed Control Workflow.  Is there a way to tell on a current approval step that an adhoc approver has been added.  In the BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI  we are wanting to put some automated comments in the approval note, so when the adhoc agent gets the work item they will see the notes.   I know after getting out of the BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI, that table /SAPSRM/D_WF_016 gets updated and there are some other tables that have the next level id, etc.. and there are classes and methods that I can use, but I am looking for some type of way to know during the badi, that the next level coming up will now be an adhoc level instead of the next pre-determined level done that was set at the submission of the shopping cart.

  • GRC AC V10 - one approval step for manager and role owner

    Hello Community,
    I have one, perhaps easy, question. Where is it possible to maintain the solution of one approval step for manager and roleowner, if both are unique.
    E.g.:
    simple approval workflow: manager stage afterwards roleowner stage afterwards auto-provisioning
    So if the request is routed to the manager and the manager is also the roleowner of the requested authorization role (same UserID). The user has to approve one and the same request twice.
    Is it possible in V.10 to change the config that the user has only to approve the request once? And then to decide on which relevant stage settings are valid for this process.
    Thanks,
    Alexa

    Hi Alexa,
    We have had a similar questions raised in a project. In an ideal world, a single "Sign-off approval" would be a great functionality where the same user has to approve the same consecutive stages, but the reason for different stages would entail that the responsibilities entailed per stage differ, e.g. Line Manager would just check the over request, and the role owner etc may be reviewing the elegibility of a specifc role etc.
    If it is likely to be the same person reviewing the 2 consecutive stages, maybe a single stage workflow would be sufficient to cover this scenario.
    I think the logic you are trying to configure in the workflow is possible but will require alot of work with knowing how to create a clever custom workflow with BRF+ or the actual WF stuff in SAP itself.

  • Approver step after provisioning

    Hello all,
    Is it possible to make in CUP additional approver step after provisioning new user (via CUA)?
    The goal is to have a manual step in SAP HR to assign structural authorization based on request comments after new user is created in HR system with approved roles. HR employee should do this step and close a CUP request only after that.
    Thanks,
    Anton.

    Hi,
    As Alpesh mentioned it is not possible in CUP/AE.
    Once the CUP workflow completed all the stages approvals, the userid is created in target systems and an email will be sent out to the corresponding user (if auto-user provisioning enabled in CUP configuration)(notifications to other people too depending on the CUP configuration).
    You could try forwarding the successful userid creation email notification to HRgroup email id, HR will assign structural profile and then forward the email to the corresponding user. ( I never tried this scenario - just a thought).
    Thanks

    You need a newer 2011 or later iMac to use Airplay.

  • Adding system and client specific TMS approval steps

    Hello,
    In defining QA approval steps, how to define a step which is not system and client wide?
    When adding a new step, it is automaticaly defined with * in the client and system fields, and when changing the steps, these fields are not editable. However, there are several approval steps for which a specific system and client are entered, but this was done by a consultant, who was here some years ago.
    Does anyone know how to do this?
    Thanks in advance,
    A

    Hi Aleksandra,
    Did you ever find a solution to this issue.  I too have multiple QA systems in our landscape (4 system landscape), and yet I can not defined system/client specific approval procedures in STMS.
    The system and client options don't even appear when I go into change mode, yet table TMSQASTEPS has the options available.  Direct table update works fine, but it would be nice to know the "SAP standard" way of doing this.
    Cheers

    Having the exact same problem with connecting ML and Snow Leopard machines to a Windows 8.1 machine.

  • How to skip approving steps for users who are also approvers?

    We have a business need to be able to skip the approving steps for the users who are also approvers.
    For this following steps were followed :-
    1) Open .task file and go into the Assignment tab. Double click on the performer box within the routing slip, this should open the "Edit Participant Type" editor. Expand the "Advanced" section and place a check next to "specify skip rule", then click the edit icon to the right. Now enter an XPath expression that will test whether the current user is equal to the task creator.
    2) We used - isUserInRole XPath function in the "Identify Service Functions" dropdown - first param to function is the userID, the 2nd is the role name.
    We tried with hardcoded userID as well as by using
    ids:isUserInRole(/task:task/task:systemAttributes/task:updatedBy/task:id,'California')
    where 'California' is the group name (as one of the forum threads told this function works with groups).
    We also tried with swimlane roles(using bpm.getPerformer() function) but it does not work either.
    Please let me know if any one has any solution to this problem.

    session as DirectorySession = DirectorySession.currentEngineSession
    dirHum as Fuego.Fdi.DirHumanParticipant = DirHumanParticipant.fetch(session : session, id : "myUserId")
    result = hasRoleAssigned(dirHum, role : "Approver")Give that a try...

  • How to use the Validate step for Approve step

    Hi Experts,
       I have modeled a workflow with the steps start,process, validate, approve, process and stop.
    Process is set to owner and approve is set to some other user user1.
       My requirement is as follows :
    1) Approve the records by approver and then it should send it to the next step for further processing
    1.1)  if the approver did not approve the record it should send a error message until the record is approved. So it should not send it to the next step when record is not approved
    I am using a field called item status for approving and disapproving the records. My validation is based on this field only... Validation working fine when i tested it manually.
    But my issue is when am using this validate step in workflow design validation is getting triggered for all the users.as per my requirement only approver should get the error message.But in my scenario owner is getting the error message and approver is not getting any message.
    How can i use the validate step only for particular step say approve in workflow.
    Can anyone please help me out how should use validate step only for approve step...
    Thanks & Regards
    Sireesha.

    Hi ,
      I have set the validation property to "None".
      My design is as follows :
    start->process->validate->approve->stop.
      Owner is assigned to process step and approver is assigned to approve step.
    Now my problem is owner is also getting this error message along with the approver. AS per the design both process, approve users are getting the error message.
    As per my requirement only approver should get this prompt but not the owner.
    How can i restrict only for specifc user to get this message.
    Can anybody please advice how can restrict the owner to not get this error message...
    Thanks & Regards
    Sireesha.
