Approve SC in background

How can I Approve SC in background since WF is stuck?

Hi,
First, please analyse the issue of Workflow through SWI1 and find out the reason for stuck.
If possible, please fix it through SWI2_DIAG. However,
Use FM BBP_REQREQ_TRANSFER to create follow on documents for particular shopping cart
Or
Use SW01 and provide necessary GUID / Object ID of shopping cart and execute the setreleased method.
I hope the above information is very useful to you.
Thanks

In a two system landscape is it necessary to make development the domain controller always?
No such compulsion as such exist(correct me if wrong),however why you want to make production your domain controller?
This is not recommended.

Transfer authorisation while maintaining substitute

Hi All,
I have a requirement for substitutes in PO approval workflow.
Sceanario is:
If approver is on leave, substitute should approve the PO, however, substitute do not have authorisation to approve it.
Is there any way through which we can transfer role to approve PO when substitution is made active.
Can we use Substitution profile here? e.g. create a profile with authorisation to Approve PO and attach that profile when creating substitution.
Any other way to achieve this would be helpful.
Regards,
Sangvir Singh

Hi,
There is no connection between WF substitution profile and the user authorizations,
so no authorizations are added to a substituting user.
However, you can change the WF so the approver will approve the PO in a decision task,
but a background task (for example PurchaseOrder.Release of object BUS2012)
will perform the actual approval.
The background task uses the WF-BATCH user and passes all authority checks.
The substitution will be for the decision task and will require no auth as well,
so the substituting user can approve the PO.
You should, if you use this way, check the return of the release task to make sure there are no errors (PO locked for example).

SAP_WAPI_DECISION_COMPLETE : Processing can be rejected option

In my workflow I am using a decision task which sometimes has to be approved in the background. This decision task has two outcomes Approve and Reject. I am also using the option "PROCESSING CAN BE REJECTED" under details tab of the approval step in the workflow. So I see three outcomes in the template.
My requirement is that when I execute the workitem in the background I want the decision task to take the third outcome (not the Approved or Rejected option). I am using the function module SAP_WAPI_DECISION_COMPLETE .
If decision keys 0001 or 0002 are passed approval or rejection is happenign. However I am not sure how to use the function module to take the outcome created out of "Processing can be rejected" option.
Any help on this would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Madhu

the FM SAP_WPI_DECISION_COMPLETE is completing t he workitem if you pass 0003 to the decision key as there will be no index with 3
I have checked by creating a sample workflow template and included on activity step in the new Outcome when ever we enable the Processing can be rejected so all you have to do is
Get the workitem ID and pass the workitem ID to the SAP_WAPI_REJECT_WORKITEM and in the wrokflow log the system conatiner element WIRESULT will be initial there will no value in it
by executing t he FM you are reserving the workitem check the FM documentation.

SWO1 approval in background does not clear manager workflow item

Hi,
I am trying to approve the shopping cart from a managers UWL in background through SWO1.
But when I do the shopping cart is getting approved whereas the approval item is still pending with the manager of the shopping cart.
How to delete the workitem from the manager inbox once I push the shopping cart for approved status in SWO1 ?
Regards
harish

Hi,
Awaiting approval is document status. You can find workflow status and workflow item number in BBP_PD.
Please check workflow item detail in SWI1 transaction.
I think debug the setReleased method is good way for finding the root cause. It might change only document status and does not change workitem side.
If the SWO1 method does not fit your requirement, please check the class /SAPSRM/CL_OFFLINEAPP_INBOUND.
(b) Check whether workitem is still in status 'READY'
(d) Check procurement document
(e) Lock procurement document
(f) Append approval note as a long text of type NOTM to the
procurement document => Update document
(g) Execute the workitem
(h) Unlock the document
Export the processing results and errors out of the method

QA Approval - importing queue with background jobs

Hi all,
I have activated the QA approval in my system and it all works fine. I have scheduled a background job via STMS to import the whole test system buffer each day and this works fine too. Now I want to schedule a background job to import the production buffer automatically too. This would allow us to have all approved transports automatically imported once a day (as QA approval is activated only approved transports would be imported).
Sounds simple, but with QA approval the production buffer displays approved and non-approved requests, so the background job fails as not all transports in the buffer are in the correct status.
Any suggestions on how I can get around this problem?
Thanks
Claire.

Hello Claire,
This issue has been described in SAP Note 313991. please check.

Timesheet approval in Background

Hi All,
Actaully I am looking for any Task or Functions which can be used to update the timesheet record as apporved or rejected according to the desicion by the Approver.
Because the standard task of SAP calls the Transaction CATSWF , which will be online approval, which I don't want to call, instead, once if approved from our standard workflow descision task, I need to update that Time sheet record as approved and rejected also in the same way instead of calling the standard transaction or task.
Regards,
Sabari Prabhu.

Hi,
Check this,
1)   BAPI_CATIMESHEETMGR_INSERT
2)   BAPI_CATIMESHEETMGR_CHANGE
3)   BAPI_CATIMESHEETMGR_DELETE

/SAPSRM/OFFLINEAPPROVALSEND as background-job

Dear All,
We would like to send offline-approval mails for our workitems with the report "SAPSRM/OFFLINEAPPROVALSEND".
This works very well in foreground, but not as batchJob.
If we start this report in background (with the same variant that works in foreground) we receive the following spool-message:
A total of 0 work items scanned
No work items found that required forwarding
Do you know this problem and do you know how to resolve it?
Best regards,
Thomas

Hi,
Check next:
In the Customizing activity Change Organizational Plan (transaction PPOMA_BBP), you have set the attribute FORWARD_WI to 'X' for all users that are to use the offline approval function.
Thanks and Regards,

Hi, Can you give a bit more detail on how your generating the task approval. Are you going into myTasks and doing self assignment to your test project plans or are you generating these approvals via outlook or are you updating a timesheet and sending status?
If you're using your timesheet have you created all your timesheet periods within server settings, time and task management...Donald R. Landry

Looking for recommendations for video/film background music resources

Hello
I am looking for background music for a client. I need to be able to browse samples and download them for client approval before purchase of the music license.
This will be for music that is playing behind dialogue, so I am looking for instrumentals and/or beats.
Thanks!
Rowby

Here is a little LIST that I have been keeping. Some of the music and SFX are free, and some are for sale.
For background music, I rely heavily on SmartSound, and here is an ARTICLE on using it.
Good luck,

FIPP object, getting error while posting document in background step

Hi Experts,
Once approval is done we are posting document in background, but getting following error
No batch input data for screen SAPMF05A 0607
We have delegeted object FIPP to ZFIPP and added method zpost with same code as post with some initial validations.
Your help in solving this error would be really appreciated.

If you really haven't done any relevant changes to the SAP standard post method, I would look for an answer from OSS. And if not found, then ask from SAP. But if you have replaced the standard post method code with for example some BDC code, then you need to check this with your ABAP guys... I don't think that it has anything to do with workflow.

Karri

ESYU: Blanket PO approve시 ASL과 Sourcing Rules이 생성되기 위해 요구되는 steps

Purpose
Oracle Purchasing - Version: 11.5.8 to 11.5.10

- MRP: Default Assignment Set => Define with desired Assignment Set (eg. Supplier Scheduling)
Note:
- 위 Profiles은 User, Responsibility, Application 그리고 Site level로 setting 할 수 있다.
- Profile option을 setting 하거나 변경 후, application을 re-log 해야 한다.
Workflow Builder를 통해 PO Approval Workflow를 setup:
Attributes
- Create Sourcing Rule Flag: "Y"
- Update Sourcing Rule Flag: "Y"
- PO SR Rule Name Prefix: "PURCH" - Default Value
- PO Assignment Type ID for SR: "3 - Item level "
- PO Sourcing Organization ID: ASL이 생성되어야 하는 Inventory Org를 set
Example 1 : 새로운 Socing Rule이 생성
a. 아래 setting을 가진 Blanket을 생성:
- "Enable Automatic Sourcing"
- "Update Existing Sourcing Rule and Assignment"
- Item: AS12345
- Supplier: Advanced Network Devices
- Site: SANTA CLARA
b. Deferred Parameter "Yes", Workflow Background engine을 실행
c. Supply Base> Approved Supplier List로 이동
d. Item AS12345를 조회
e. 생성된 ASL을 확인
f. Soucing Rule 화면으로 이동
- Sourcing Rule을 조회: PUR%
- Soucing Rule 'PURCH_ABCD' 이 생성된 것을 확인
- Supplier: Advanced Network Devices
- Allocation = 100% , Rank =1
g. Soucing Rule 생성을 확인
h. Assignment Set 화면으로 이동
i. 조회:
- Assignment Set: Supplier Shceduling
- Type: Item
- Item: AS12345
- Soucing Rule: PURCH_ABCD
j. Assignment Set 생성을 확인
Example 2 : 기존의 Soucing Rule / ASL을 update
a. 아래 setting을 가진 Blanket을 생성:
- "Enable Automatic Sourcing"
- "Update Existing Sourcing Rule and Assignment"
- Item: AS12345
- Supplier: Advanced Network Devices
- Site: SANTA CLARA
b. Deferred Parameter "Yes", Workflow Background engine을 실행
c. Supply Base> Approved Supplier List로 이동
- Item 'AS1345'를 조회

g. Assignment Set 화면으로 이동, 조회
- Assignment Set: Supplier Shceduling
- Type: Item
- Item: AS12345
- Soucing Rule: PURCH_ABCD
j. Assignment Set은 변경됨이 없음을 확인, 왜냐하면 soucing rule이 동일하기 때문

Error while releasing the PR in background

Hi all,
My scenario is when the PR is created it will be sent for approval when the approver decised to approve the PR the bapi "BAPI_REQUISITION_RELEASE_GEN" is called in background to release the PR in background. When the approver approves the PR it is giving me an error "Release outside field of responsibility".
Please help me in this issue.
Regards
Balaji E.

Hello Balaji,
if you're using a background method (background work item), the release will be running under the user named WF-BATCH (or similar). Therefore you'll need to assign proper authorizations for this user that he can release a purchase requisition.
In the customizing tree for the release process you'll find a doc link that gives you more details, what authorization objects you will need.
Best regards,
Florin
