Approval Workflow Forwarding issue

Hi Gurus,
I am facing a unique problem. We are using SRM5.0 with ECC6.0 as backend. We have a n-step BADI workflow implemented for approval of shopping carts. Let us say, I created a shopping cart which is to be approved by X and then by Y. Now, if the approver X forwards this approval mail (either from SAP inbox or from his external mail id) to another user Z, then on complete approval, the approval preview in the shopping cart shows only user Y as the approver of the SC. Neither user X nor Z are shown as approver nor does it show that Z has approved the shopping cart.
Why is this happening? Is this a SAP-standard procedure?  How do I correct this such that the shopping cart shows that user Z has approved it?
Could anyone please throw some light on this issue? Will be really grateful...
Thanks & Regards,
Ancy

Hi,
  Once the SC is approved by Z and Y, the approval preview must be display both approvers.. if this is not happen.. then check the OSS note.. what is your SP Level?

  • E recruitment Approval workflow - Inbox issue

    Hi Experts,
    Im working in a  E recruitment module. So we have two systems one is HR system and Second one is E recruitment system. When ever the Candidate requested for the job, the candidate will be processed in E recruitment system and if the candidate is eligible for the job, then he will be hired using HR System.
    My issue is, I have one Approval workflow in the E recruitment module. I get the Approver details from HR System and sending the work item to the Approver's inbox. that is fine.
    But the problem is, E recruitment has separate inbox and the HR System has the separate inbox for the same person. Now the work item reaching the E recruitment inbox. But it should reach the HR system inbox.
    How the approval based workflow's working in E-recruitment module? Is any web service based approval tasks needs to be created or We can use the user decision task to get the approval?
    Please give your valuable suggestions.
    Helps will be highly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Hi Nandini
      If both E-rec and HR system are connected together in landscape. As soon as job rec wf trigger from E-rec system based the logic to determine the approver to get the approver user id. After getting the user id you need to check wheather the approver belongs to which system ie E-rec to HR this can be get by using standard FM passing the userid to the FM it will give the result in which system the user id exist. After that you need the send that work item to the approver. Before sending the work item you need to find all the details in the background method of the workflow. There are standard FM to get the details of the system user id and in which system the user belongs to.
    If you have any help let me know.

  • Invoice Approval workflow - forward functionality with AME

    Dear,
    We are on R12.0.6, setting up AME for invoice approval.
    Looking at the Invoice Approval process Approval lookup type I don't see 'forward' or 'approve and forward' lookup codes.
    Does it indicate that 'Forward' and 'Approve and Forward' functionality is not implemented for the Invoice Apporval workflow?
    The AME documentation on the other hand discusses forwardingBehaviors.
    If anybody went through this and can through any comments on the subject of the forward functionality in the invoice approval would be great!
    Thank you
    Anatoliy

    Pl post details of OS, database and EBS versions.
    In 11i, using AME is a requirement. I believe the same applies to R12 also.

  • OIM 11.1.1.5 Approval Workflow Issue

    Hi,
    I have installed OIM 11.1.1.5. While self-registration of a user, the request is created and by default assigned to xelsysadm as the request level approver.
    However, when the approver logs in, assigns the organization to the user and approves the request, it is shown that the approval task is completed.
    But the request status doesn't change and remains "Obtaining Request Approval" and thus the user is not created in OIM.
    In SOA server, on checking the logs (soa_server1-diagnostic.log) we found the following error -
    [soa_server1] [ERROR] [] [oracle.soa.bpel.engine.dispatch] [tid: orabpel.engine.pool-5.thread-4] [userId: weblogic] [ecid: ee9b8be672bf5ad0:-72f1c18e:1399f6dc058:-8000-0000000000000108,0:1:100000006] [APP: soa-infra] failed to handle message[[

    We are unable to resolve the issue, we've tried using a custom approval workflow instead of the default approval workflow.
    Kindly help.

    Hi ,
    I actually faced the same issue some time back .., it took me almost a week to resolve it ..
    This is happening basically due to incompatible version of wsm-policy-core.jar on your server . Please check all the FMW s/f installed on your server . One of them is incompatible with OIM 11.1.1.5.0 .
    Are you using BIP 11.1.1.6 by any chance .

  • PO Approval workflow Acceptance Required issue

    When PO_headers_all.acceptance_required_flag = 'Y', expected behaviour of PO Approval workflow is to send Action Required
    email to supplier. But for some POs even PO_headers_all.acceptance_required_flag = 'Y', PO approval workflow is sending FYI emails to supplier, instead of action required email should goto supplier.
    I have verifed the supplier responsibility who is receiving FYI email, supplier got responsibility to acknowledge PO ( based on POS_ACK_ORDER function assigned to supplier responsibility ) .
    Could any one suggest me, how and where to fix this issue ? How will I know what is the cause of supplier receiving FYI email instead of Action required email ?

  • Approval workflow issue

    Hello Friends,
    I have created a simple approval workflow with 2 stages for a document library. User A will approve and then the approval has to go to User B
    User A is receiving a mail and editing the document and saving it. User A then goes to his mail and approves it.
    Now as per the logic, the User B should get an email. But its not happening so.
    Is it something that I'm missing? Or should I include all the users in a single stage?
    The error that I'm getting on the second stage

    Hi Chandra,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you got an error when you ran an approval workflow with two stages.
    I did a testing as the following workflow, everything worked well:
    Please create a new library, and a new workflow as the above, test again, compare the result.
    In addition, as the message, the Approval WF failed to run when the user ID was system account. And by default, system account cannot run workflow automatically. So, please use other users to test, compare the result.
    Best Regards,

  • OOTB Approval Workflow CC field issue

    I have a OOTB Approval Workflow that functions as expected but for the CC field. The email goes to only the first user mentioned in the CC field and not to the ones thereafter. I have checked the Approval Workflow steps using SharePoint Designer but nothing
    seems to be off. I have run out of ideas as to why only the first name in the CC gets an email but not the rest.

    Yes I did try changing the order. Still emails the first user mentioned in the order.
    KP
    Hi Kartik,
    Do you mean if you change the order of users in CC field, only the first user can recieve the email?
    Could you please contact SMTP administrator and see if message is sent from SharePoint workflow and recieved by user account? If you are using Exchange server as SMTP server, you could check message tracking log per timestamp.

  • Inconstancy in Approval Workflow- Process Controlled Workflow

    Hello Experts,
    We are in SRM 7.0 classic scenario using process controlled workflow and facing an issue as described below:-
    During the approval workflow, we are observing that in
    Case 1: When approver3 is forwarding the work item to approver10, the approver10 in not getting the work item in his Inbox. However, when we see the log detail in SWI6 the status is shown as u201CREADYu201D
    Case 2: We created a shopping cart with identical details as in Case 1 and followed the same approval process i.e.Approver3 forwarding the work item to approver10, however in this case approver10 is getting the work item in his Inbox and when we see the log details in SWI6 the status is shown as u201CCOMPLETED"
    We tried this scenario for 10 times and we found that in 2 cases the approval status is showing as u201CREADYu201D while in other 7 cases the approval workflow got completed.
    Can you all experts please help us understand why this is happening and how can be find the root cause i.e why Case 1 is in u201CREADYu201D status for last 2 days.
    We seek your help in understandingroot cause so that we can eliminate any inconsistency in future.
    Any pointers to resolve this issue will be highly appreciated.

    Use class /SAPSRM/CL_WF_APV_FACADE. This is used by standard SAP WF Analysis.
    Methods - RETRIEVE_PROCESS_HISTORY, GET_CURRENT_PROCESS_STATE, CREATE_PROCESS_FORECAST.
    To analyze more, check the program /SAPSRM/WF_CFG_ANALYSIS_002. Check lines 209...216 (These Lines pull Previous Approved Steps, Current Process Step & Gets the approval forecast). However the REJECTED Items (Accept Decision) work little different (which is not captured by this report).
    To Identify the current approval process awaiting decision by the requester of the cart, use method GET_CURRENT_PROCESS_STATE, return parameter structure /SAPSRM/S_WF_PROCESS-PROCESS_LEVEL_LIST-DECISIONSET_LIST-ITEM_STATUS_LIST gets you the current status of the item (ACCEPTED, REJECTED, OPEN, INQUIRED). If ITEM_STATUS_LIST-ITEM_STATUS EQ 'REJECTED', then the WF is waiting for acceptance/resubmission from the requester.
    To your specific need, pass DOCUMENT_GUID to the class /SAPSRM/CL_WF_APV_FACADE=>GET_CURRENT_PROCESS_STATE get the return parameter /SAPSRM/S_WF_PROCESS. It will give you PROCESS_LEVEL_LIST. Then loop through DECISIONSET_LIST. It contains Table Types of AGENTS_LIST, ITEM_STATUS_LIST, WORKITEM_LIST. At /SAPSRM/S_WF_PROCESS level, you can get all the details of the current process level details

  • Approval workflow triggers when not expected for SRM PO & without Agent ??

    Hi All,
    We are using SRM 5.0 integrated with SAP MM backends.
    We are frequently facing this problem, when a buyer  creates a PO (in SRM) within his/ her Spending (Output) Limit, the PO approval workflow triggers and is not able to find an agent.
    Although the workflow should not trigger as the PO value is below spend limit of the buyer......we are not able to understand this behaviour.
    In such cases, the buyer is not able to issue the POs, since the POs show 'Awaiting Approval' status.
    I can find such POs with SRM transaction SWI2_ADM1, but I can not do anything beyond that. I am not able to Forward or 'Complete Manually' such work-items.
    Any idea how this problem can be fixed or if there is any SAP note available for same.......anything??
    Has anyone faced this kind of problem before?? Please help.
    Thanks,
    Ruchika

    please check from the workflow log , the workflow which the system is starting.
    might be the system is able to start another workflow than the one which you are mentioning
    use the transaction swi6 for workflow log , use the purchase order guid

  • ERM - CUP Approval Workflow E-mails

    Hello gurus,
    We are experiencing an issue with Role Expert (ERM) to Access Enforcer (CUP) role approval workflow. When a role reaches the approval stage in ERM, an e-mail notification with a link to CUP approval is sent to the designated approver's LDAP e-mail address.  This functions properly.  Following approval or rejection of the role, another e-mail should be sent to the requester's e-mail address to inform him/her that the role has been approved/rejected.  This e-mail is not functioning.  We have the same e-mail address configured in the LDAP, UME, and back-end SAP system, but this e-mail address is not receiving any notification of approval/rejection.
    This functionality is appropriately configured in CUP with the following:
    Name: RE_APPROVAL
    Workflow Type: Role Expert
    Approval Determinator: RE_APPROVAL
    Request Wait Time (Days): 0
    Request Wait Time (Hours): 0
    Escalation Configuration: None
    Approval Type: Any One Approver
    [No e-mail group]
    Request Rejection: Yes
    Re-Route: No
    Confirm Approval: Yes
    Confirm Rejection: Yes
    Reject By Email: No
    Approve By Email: No
    Forward Allowed: No
    No additional security.
    Has anyone seen this issue before?  Any advice for troubleshooting will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Joy

    Hi everyone,
    We are experiencing something similiar as Joy related.
    We have configured in CUP 5.3 a workflow for ERM role approval with two stages.
    In both stages, the e-mail notification with a link to CUP approval is sent to the designated approver's e-mail address, but following approval or rejection of the role, the e-mail informing the role has been approved/rejected is not sent to the requester's e-mail address.
    In the first stage, the CAD is configured to send the request to the approver defined in the role in ERM (web service). In this stage, the requester's e-mail address is not receiving any notification of rejection but do recives all notifications of approval.
    The second stage is configured with a fixed approver, and in this case the requester's e-mail address is not receiving any notification of approval nor rejection.
    Any suggestions of what can we do to make this work?? We wolud like that both (approval and rejection) notifications be sent to the requester's requester's e-mail address.
    Or, if it is possible, can CUP be configured to send e-mail notifications of approval and rejection ONLY in the LAST stage of the workflow??
    Regards,
    Pablo

  • FI Upload file (Approval Workflow)

    Hi All,
    Need some assistance:
    Currently our company has a standard approval workflow built.  So when we receive an invoice without a PO, we manually post the invoice to a GL & Cost Centre.  Once the invoice is coded, It’s then sent to the GL owners to approve using the workflow currently in place.  All this works perfectly fine.
    My issue is FI Upload files……. As Upload files contain several GL accounts – we are currently attaching a manual email approval from the approver to the file upload so the Accounts Payable department could post without any further approvals in Workflow as an email approval is sufficient.
    We would like to build the same workflow approval cycle that we have already in place for Fi Invoices.
    Note – an upload file come in with 10 different GL accounts ( ideally we don’t want to send it to 10 different approvers) as this will slow down the process, so I was wondering if there is a better solution that you could share to eliminate the upload going to 10 approvers.
    Any Suggestions are greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
