Approval Steps Deactivate after 'SAVE'

Hi,
I am working on Approval procedures, it's working fine, the procedure is determined along with the steps and their Approvers.
Problem is on saving the transaction, the approval steps deactivate and no action (Approve/Reject/Not relevant) can be selected by the Approvers - I've logged in as the approver but still unable to change any approval status.
Please let me have your responses, thank you.
BR.
P.S. I have removed Action Profile, Status profile and the problem persists.

I have found a flag needs to be activated (After the flag has been activated the 'Process Mode' type field populates a value 'B') and the other to be deactivated after which the relevant action (Approve/Reject) can be taken.
What remains to be found is how these flags are controlled by the system ?
Need your responses please. Thnx.
BR.
(seems like everyones' enjoying new year, this thread has been on top of the list since 30 hours)

Can I please have assistance getting the Approval button to process the Approval?

Resolved - There was a role issue - testing the process with another used account worked.
Looks like it was set up correctly.

Assign step after Approve step can't execute automatically

I have a Assign step after Approve step in my workflow. After Approve step is completed. Assign step always shown as Error status in the workflow owner's queue. The workflow owner has to manually Perform this Assign step and send to next step.
Is there way to let Assign step execute automatically after Approve step is completed?

Thanks for the posting. I am using MDM 5.5 SP4, maybe that is the reason. Assignment works fine if I manually perform it during the workflow. But it can't execute automatically as part of the workflow. it needs manual execution. Do you think this will be resolved if I upgrade to SP5? Is SP5 already available now?

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

"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

Complete Form approval step programatically

Hi,
I have a Form approval step and is sent to set of agents (through org unit id assignment on step). I have a requirement to programatically (by calling FMs may be) either approve or reject this form and complete the form from agents inbox.
I tried using following FMs but in vain
SAP_WAPI_WORKITEM_COMPLETE - It does complete the WI but does not send the result (approve / reject back to workflow)
SAP_WAPI_SET_WORKITEM_COMPLETD - Not of use for this requirement
SAP_WAPI_DECISION_COMPLETE - Used to complete dialod step and not Form step.
Thanks in advance.
-- Amit

Can you clear us what kind of workitem it is I mean is it a decision workitem? or a workitem which needs a user interaction? e.t.c if it is a decision workitem and after completing the decision step programatically, if at all you want to continue to the next step of teh workflow then you have to sue the FM SAP_WAPI_DECISION_COMPLETE in the importing parameter DECISION_KEY you have to sepcify the value, 0001 for Approve 0002 for Reject 0003 for Review.
Ooops sorry to ask you again what type of step it is , you mentioned it in the question , but when it is a form step with APPROVE or REJECT then the FM SAP_WAPI_DECISION_COMPELTE works

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.

According to me,
You need to click on the Next Step. The Workflow will automatically reach the Stop step. It will not show as a button to be clicked. Go to the UWL and check the status of the Workflow. Hopefully you will find it as Stopped.
Hope it helps.

Approval step without capacity ad hoc

Hi,
In some workflows for some users we get the error message when we want to previsualize the approval levels of a Shopping Cart:
"Approval step without capacity ad hoc, prevision impossible"
What is the reason for this error message and how to correct it.
Thanks for any reply,
Aart

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.

Previous Workitem has to disappear after save

Hi,
I have a Travel Transaction where after each
SAVE click it creates a new workitem. But it should be
updated in the same workitem until it is processed
by the Approver.
what is that i have to do?
Thank you.
Regards,
Boobalan

Hi,
I am using Fork to capture 'Changed' & 'Approved' Event.
This is for Travel Workflow.
when Approval is done from Transaction(ouside of workflow).
Before Approval status is 3.
After Approval status is 4.
Here the problem is I have to decide based on 4 some conditions for 2nd Level Approval.
But After approval also the Trip.Approval Flag is 3,
where as after i go out to see log, it is 4.
I think the first Event triggered is 3 and then 4.
could there be any way that the 'Changed' event is also the 'Approved' event. After the Approved event it is 4.
Please reply if you have any idea as the above scenario.
Regards,
Boobalan.

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,

Can not refresh page after save properly(When not saving master record)

I am using jdeveloper 11g R2 (11.1.2.3) JSF Facelet
In some use case I have Address as master table and Person as detail table
For some business reason I need to don't save same addresses
eg:
If +1 Test St+ is in database already and new user coming and adding this address with new person
I need to use the row in database not creating a new address
I do saving in doDML method of Address with some hashing algorithm and it is fine
My problem is that I can not refresh page after save properly
User coming to page think Adding a new address and a new person but in fact no new
address added because of business I describe above
Any ideas how I can implement this?
Appreciate that
Regards
Mohsen

Hi,
from your description it is not clear why the page doesn't refresh. It could be a problem in your implementation code - who knows. What if you perform the address check on a command button that actually submits the new address? If the check returns true (address exists) you would call row.refresh(forget new row); and re-query the view object so the address coming from the database is displayed. If you wanted to use the doDML then yuou need to be aware that doDML doesn't help removing the row the user created. It just ignores the database update but the entity is still around, which in my suggested solution wont be the case.

Badi or user-exit for QA32 after save

I need a badi or user exit to execute exactly after save in QA32 ..I tried belows but they are not that i want
QPL1_SUBSCREEN_ADDON
INSPECTIONLOT_UPDATE
Check these Exits:
QEVA0004 Exit for changing information line in usage decision he
QEVA0005 User subscreen for displaying add. data for usage decis
QEVA0006 Entry to usage decision transactions
QEVA0007 UD: Control of compulsory comment or long text presetti
QEVA0008 Usage decision: Customer function key (e.g. to cancel U
QEVA0009 UD: Predefinition of quantity to be posted to sample st
QEVA0010 UD: Usage decision check
QLCO0001 QM: Call alternative costs report from UD
QSS10001 Possibility of calling a different print report

Hello Tuncer,
have you checked the BADI QE_SAVE? This is the last possible chance of changing data on saving a QM transaction and should be active in QA32.
The only other solution I can come up with is a follow-up action i.e. for the UD-code
Hope this information proves usefull.

Auto po creation after save sales order.

Hi, Experts,
A s per my business requirement, We have mapped configuratin for auto PR creation at a time of order if stock not available, But system not create automatic PO after save sales order. I want to crate Automatic PO after save sales order, it is possible i know , But for that which type for configuration require i don't know, can anybody give me solution for this issue.
Thankls a lot in advance,
Regards:
Happy

Hi,
It's possible to create PO automatically after sales order is saved.
1. Set up back-to-back, i.e. PR can be automatically created after the SO is saved.
2. Item category - make sure 'Create PO automatically' checkbox is ticked.
3. Enterprise Structure --> Sales Organization - ensure that PO type, purchasing group etc. is maintained.
4. Transaction code SWETYPV - Ensure that both checkboxes are ticked for BO (object category), BUS2032 (object type), ALECREATEE/CHANGED and ERRORCHANGINGPURORD/ERRORCREATINGPURORD.
5. Optional: You could execute BD86 to check for consistencies (note that you can still get it work even if BD86 shows errors)
