Approve button missing for managers to approve trave & expenses

Hello all,
Our production system is running ESS/MSS. Last couple days, some of the users have been reporting that they are not able to approve the expense reports because they do not see "Approve" button, instead, they are seeing "Assign to me" button.
Could anybody please suggest what could be happening?
Thanks!

what is your portal version? Are there any recent SP updates?
check uwl wiki below
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BPX/UWL+FAQ#UWLFAQ-The%27Approve%27and%27Reject%27functionsaremissinginthecontextmenu
The Approve and Reject functions are missing in the context menu
Reason: The configuration XML file cannot be generated due to the missing RFC destination for the provider connector. The result is that the item type information, for example, available actions, dynamic parameters, visualization parameters, cannot be retrieved from the back end.
Solution: Refer to SAP note 1133821
In our environment EP7.0 SP18 , approve and reject buttons missed,after implementing above note,again they appeared.

Why is the share button missing for videos in photostream?

I select Photos > Shared > %Photostream Name% > %photo%, and I get a 'Share' button (square box with an arrow) at the bottom of the page. However, I do the same thing for a video, and the 'Share; button is missing. See the attached image. How do I message/mail/save/etc. videos from Photostream?

Alternative: Click on the top right hand corner of the photo or use the keyboard short cut (command-period)

Upgraded to iTunes 11.2.2.3 on Windows - Download All button missing for Podcasts

After upgrading to iTunes 11.2.2.3 on Windows, now the Download All button is missing in Podcasts. I used to be able to click an icon with a cloud and an arrow next to the title of the podcast (not next to the title of a specific podcast), and it would download all the available podcasts for that title. Now the icon is missing, and I have to scroll through a whole list of sometimes 20, 30, 40 podcasts for each title to manually download each one.
I tried reinstalling iTunes. No change.

Figured this out!! Go to the bottom right corner where it says Show: Unplayed/My Episodes and Saved.
Change this to Show: Feed.
You will then want to expand the podcast arrow, and the download all button is there again! Phew, that was going to be killer. Let me know if this works for you.

Is there a way for managers to approve a form in FormsCentral?

I want to create an online purchase order form. Our school board policy requires that a purchase order be approved by both the department manager and Director of Finance. Is there a way for managers to clear the form for approval through FormsCentral? If a PO is held up, I want to be able to tell if the manager or Finance Director has seen it yet. Thanks.

Hi,
Sorry, FormsCentral currently does not support form-approval workflow. Please check Adobe Acrobat product, or the Adobe LiveCycle product

Missing "Approve" button to approve the expenses

Hi Sunitha
where are they not viewing the approve button?
Is this in uwl or on the screen where they try to approve the workflow.
"assign to me button in generally in uwl page and you need to click on the workitem to launch"
confirming above will help in absense of system access.
thank you

MSS: approve travel expenses of managers

Hello Experts,
could you please give me advices for standard-process within MSS (on NWBC for html; using POWL - no WF) for managers who shall be allowed to approve their own travel expenses. I was thinking of following opportunities:
1. Save travel expense in approved status -> nothing to do more for approval
2. Save travel expense in unapproved status -> daily report sets those in approved status
3. Approve their own travel expenses in MSS
Or do you know other/more practical opportunities?
Please also give me tips on how to set up the process.
Thanks a lot!
Best regards
Raphael

Open Document Icon Missing for PO Reqs but working for POs

Hi All,
If there are POs and PO requisitions that are awaiting for your approval. You would typically go to Purchasing super user -> Notification Summary -> Worklist choose po/poreqs -> click Open document link to view/make changes prior approving.
The Open Document Link is woking when you open POs but missing for PO Reqs. I went through many docs such as (Metalink doc 356969.1). But unsuccessful. I am think it’s some sort of setup/configuration/profile that needs to be changed.
My Problem is to get the missing Icon for PO Reqs too. Does anyone has info please help me. I dont even know where to look for. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Kalyan.

what is the access level and security level for purchase requisition document

Fiori Approve Travel Expenses Accept / Reject error

Hello,
I have installed the Approve Travel Expenses app and it looks to be working okay appart from the approve / reject buttons.
I have setup the scenarios using transaction SIMGH.
These are the only configuration changes i could find i need to make. In the guide for approve travel expenses it mentions to make sure tables SRA008_T_CONFIG and SRA008_T_TASKTYP are maintained and that the Travel Management module is installed and configured.
I cant find the paths in IMG to check the tables and also don't know how to check that the Travel Management module is installed and configured correctly. I will mention though that the client uses a custom workflow for travel expense approvals which is why I have defined the approval workflow task as TS90100025.
The error I get in the Fiori app is:
"{\"error\":{\"code\":\"SY/530\",\"message\":{\"lang\":\"en\",\"value\":\"Decision 0003 cannot be perfomed on workitem 000011503389.\"},\"innererror\":{\"transactionid\":\"1D25B0E3BE78F1EF8561005056B07C8E\",\"timestamp\":\"\",\"Error_Resolution\":{\"SAP_Transaction\":\"\",\"SAP_Note\":\"\"},\"errordetails\":[{\"code\":\"/IWBEP/CX_MGW_BUSI_EXCEPTION\",\"message\":\"Decision 0003 cannot be perfomed on workitem 000011503389.\",\"propertyref\":\"\",\"severity\":\"error\"}]}}}"
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards
Jared

Hi Masa,
My colleague pointed out that the task needs a user decision for the app to run and the approve/reject task is set as an activity.
I will ask the workflow consultants to update the workflow. Ill test the app again and post back here with the results.
Kind Regards
Jared

Middle mosue button don't open a link on a new tab, the button works for scrolling etc.

Middle mosue button don't open a link on a new tab, the button works for scrolling etc. Thats teh problem, seem like I'm the only with the problem...

I had the same problem. If you're running Greasemonkey, you need to update it. There's a conflict between Greasemonkey 0.9.10 and Tab Mix Plus on Firefox 6.0.2. Until the add-ons site approves Greasemonkey 0.9.11, you'll have to install it manually.

Self approving travel expense on ESS/MSS

Hi ,
I am implementing travel expense module. We are also implementing ESS and MSS for TE. Workflows are being used to send aprovel request to managers.
I want to know if some one has implemented a check for self approval. i.e do any one know how to check and restrict self approval?
If a manager creates a expense claim and it comes on his universal work list because of some wrong work flow or substitution then how can we restrict him from approving?
Can this be done by authorisations? or by using a badi or user exit?
Regards,
Amit.

You can handle this thing in two ways.....................
1> We can always check that if the employee and approver are same then ...workflow should not allow person to approve travel expenses.We can use the exculded agents function while specfying our agent in workflow task.
i.e if travel expense approver is person having sap id
test01
and employee who creates trip is also
test01
.Then above functionality won't allow person to approve his own trip.
2. In case of substitutions we have to use badi to restrict this stuff.
As per standard SAP UWL functionality you can delegate/substitute anyone in Organization. If you want using BADI WF_SUBSTITUTE can restrict user which can come in search for delegation/substitution as per your requirement.
Please refer SAP Note 977069 - Substitute API: Providing the BAdI WF_SUBSTITUTE.

Principal Propagation - Define interfaces button missing?

Hi,
I'm trying to configure PP in my PI 7.0 SP15 system with kernel version 146.
I have completed all of the steps in the relevant guide but when I go to t.c. SXMB_ADM -> Configure Principal Propagation, there's no button/option for configuring interfaces for principal propagation as stated in the guide. Have I missed something?

Gökhan

Sorry, false alarm.
This button is only valid in sender business systems, not the PI system and only needs to be configured for sender systems.

Link missing for appraisal documents in MSS Status overview

Hi all,
For ESS Status overview page of Flexible Appraisal document, the appraisal documents are listed with links. when we click the link, its taking to the appraisal document.
For MSS Status overview page of Flexible Appraisal documents, the appraisal documents are shown as texts and there is no link. (hyperlink). Opening the document is possible only by clicking 'Display' or 'Edit' button.
I have checked throughout the SDN and unable to find the problem. Our functional team says that the link was appearing before. Could some one help on what configuration is necessary to get the link for appraisal documents in MSS
Thanks,

Windows Mobile 5.0 to Windows Embedded HandHeld 6.5 Classic (Form OK Button Missing)

Hi,
I have a Windows Mobile 5.0 app that works fine but when I deploy it to a Windows Embedded HandHeld 6.5 Classic device the 'OK' button in the top right hand corner of the form has disappeared.
Any idea's
Thanks

The following MSDN threads explain the cause of the problem and provide some guidance on how to change your application to resolve the problem:
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/6cda1576-2cf7-4b2a-9e57-0c55f1c2f500/ok-button-dissapears-on-windows-mobile-65?forum=netfxcompact

Another solution, instead of changing your application, is for the user to simply press the physical Ok button on the device's keyboard (assuming that the device has an Ok button). For example, some rugged devices such as Intermec or Motorola
have a physical keyboard with an Ok button, or another physical button can be re-mapped to act as the Ok button. Contact your device supplier if you need to do this.

Configuration of Fiori app Approve Travel Expenses

Hi gurus,
I'm new on SAPUI5 technology, I need to do a simple configuration on standard Fiori app Travel expenses Approval (bsp ui5_fi_trex_apv).
I need to hide ui elements and change text translation of some labels.
I followed the guide 'Extending and testing SAP Fiori Apps', but I have some difficulty in the implementation of file component.js.
For example I need to hide the table TEA_LIST_COSTASSIGNMENTS in view details.Home.
I copied the example code excerpted from the guide, but I do not know how to retrieve the following values from standard app:
jQuery.sap.registerModulePath
jQuery.sap.declare
jQuery.sap.require
My Code :
Another question: after custom implementation, how can I test it ?
Thanks
Massimo

Why is the update all button missing?

Self explanatory.

@PogoPossom: Thanks for your efforts in answering this question. I faced the same mystery of the Update All button missing, even though I'm logged in. I tried powering down the iPad and restarting and that fixed the issue - now the Update All button appears. Is this a bug or a feature?
