Overall processing status issue for sales order regarding services

Hello,
I have the following issue. I am billing a standard service (service without delivery) to a customer. The process goes ok, I issue an invoice, post it and generate an accounting document. Then I create a cancellation invoice. Now I want to reject my sales order. I assign reason for rejection to the item. The header and item status says it is u2018fully rejectedu2019, but the overall processing status says the sales order is u2018openu2019 and therefore appears in reports regarding open orders. I gave also a billing block, deleted the schedule line for the service so that the ordered quantity for the item equals to u20180u2019, but still the overall processing status of the order is u2018openu2019. This is standard SAP functionality (as I checked it). So can anyone explain me how to change this status to exclude this order from open order list? Or maybe someone may want to explain me why this is standard SAP process and what is the reason for the system to want to keep my order u2018openu2019?
Thanks in advance,
BR,|

Place the reason for rejection in the status tab at item level, we are doing same, and the order lines does not show in open lines .

How processing status "In Release " is set in purchase requisitions

Hi Experts,
How processing status, iun release is set in item details (Status tab page) of purchase requisition, also is it possible that release status is "release completed" even requisition is not subject to release strategy.
how release active is set.
Thank you
Anand

Hi
The Stauses in the PR will be active opnly if you have the release strategy setup for the PR.
"In release" is set when the PR is created & is subjected to approval & in the approval process.
Relased is set when the PR is approved fianlly.
Thanks & Regards

How to change 'Processing status' of Purchase Requisition

Hi Workflow Gurus,
I have query on Purchase Rquisition Item Release Workflow. My requirement is like,
Whenever a PR approver rejects the PR item then the processing status of the PR item should be changed from "In Process" to 'Release Refused' without any user intervention i.e. in background.
Please help me ASAP as I have my delivery deadline already coming in.
Many thanks in Advance!!!
Regards,
Vikash

Hi PJ,
Mentioned BAPI is not for changing the processing status but for Release status i.e. Blocked or released etc...
I could get the solution by my own R&D. I am updating the database field EBAN-BANPR with required status and i am doing it in the Back ground.
Its working fine now.
Anyways Thanks for your quick response !

New processing status in purchase requisition

Hello,
I would like to add new processing status in purchase requisition such as E - Edited when simple changes are done in document.
Is it possible to add it?
If it is yes, please give your inputs.

Hi,
It is not possible via standard customization. You have to implement user exits with help of ABAPer;

Does ASCP net against approved requisitions

Hi All,
I released a few approved Requistions using ASCP Workbench tool. After that I reran my data collection process & launched ASCP plan to review fresh recommendations. However, I still see ASCP asking me to release new requisitions though I have released in my last run. I haven't changed Forecasts nor have I added new sales order demand. Does ASCP net against approved requisitions ?
Thanks for the help.
Sandeep

Hello Sandeep,
first check if you can see the PO/PR in collected data (collections workbench).
If you can't see it then it's likely a problem with the planning manager not updating MTL_SUPPLY. Check the MPS% columns in MTL_SUPPLY whether these are populated for the PO/PR in question.
If they aren't verify that the planning manager is running fine (MRP - setup - planning manager).
If it's running then and the MPS% columns are null then make a small change to the PO/PR and reapprove. Wait until the planning manager has done at least one cycle. MTL_SUPPLY should be updated then.
Afterwards recollect PO's/PR's
hope it helps

Workflow in process status when work is completed and returned to inbox

Issue...
Once upgraded to ECC 5.0, our Workflows are still in process status after completing the work item and returning to inbox. Takes several seconds to go to completed status.
More detail...
In a number of our work items in custom workflows we utilize methods that display a custom transaction for review & approval in the workflow process. From within the custom transaction we issue the terminating event for the work item by means of Function Module "SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT" once the user approves or disapproves the work item.
This worked all very well in Rel. 4.6c. By the time the users were routed back to their inbox the work item had disappeared.
We recently upgraded to ECC 5.0 and experience the following problem. Once the user has left the work item and are back in their inbox, the work item is still on display. It eventually goes away once the users refresh their screen after a few seconds. This is very confusing to the users and some of them even wanting to start executing the same item again....
I was wondering if anybody has any ideas on how the completion/termination of the work item could be changed so that it completes faster and is gone from the inbox immediately.
In our research we did come across OSS note 831443, which explains as of release 6.20 that work items will be locked while executing a method and that the terminating event can only be delivered once it is unlocked. Taking this into consideration, we tried moving the terminating event to the end of the method within the business object program, but the work item never completed, even after refreshing the inbox.
Thank you for any feedback.

Hello Tom,
I've had quite a similar problem with the terminating event in a dialog while the workitem is locked.
I came across the same SAPNote 831443, but it doesn't seem to tell the whole story there. As I found out, the status change (from "in work" to "complete") is just skipped over, while the workflow continues with processing, leaving a last workitem "in work" hanging out to dry when the whole process has already finished.
Basically the problem is, or was, that a popup dialog was shown to the user after the processed the transaction, which held the lock open. I have found no logs, saying that there was a problem with a locked workitem, anyhow.
At last I have found out, that basically there shouldn't be much coding between the <b>COMMIT WORK</b> statement and the coding that just ends the method with <b>END METHOD</b>. This kind of procedure does definitly apply to the newer Versions, as I didn't have any problems like this before. Mayhaps and only a guess is, that the unlock-operation was previously registered with a perform like PERFORM unlock_workitem ON COMMIT. or something similar. This defenitly has changed under the new releases.
In your specific case I would recommend to register the event processing in the update task and end the workitem's method as soon, as possible. For example:
CALL FUNCTION 'SWE_EVENT_CREATE' IN UPDATE TASK ...
If this still does not help, you could further disjoin the transaction processing from the event creation by adding
STARTING NEW TASK
IN BACKGROUND MODE
or whatever the correct syntax was here. This will schedule another tRFC on the database commit, which then is defenitly be picked up by another work process of the application server, just right -- hopefully -- after the object's method has completed.
If you're feeling good with this answers, or it least it gave you new ideas to look upon, please assign points as appropriate.
Best wishes,
Florin

POs stuck in an in-process status

This is from the California Highway Patrol in Sacramento. I’m the sys admin for our E-Business Suite 11.5.0 (somewhat stuck) in Oracle 8. Our PO department has some POs stuck in an “in process” status and we’d like to clear these 13 or so purchase orders.
I have an accounting type Discoverer user who’s also fairly deft in SqlPlus. Via Discoverer, he can retrieve the tables in question - both through sql or the application forms themselves - but needs to know what can be done to move them along (or backwards through) the process.
He thinks the PO's are caught in the workflow process; or more specifically, the PO Approval Process. When it got to the “Can Owner Approve?” the answer would have been No. He believes the process is now looking for the next approver in the approval hierarchy. We don't know if we have an approval hierarchy.

Processing Status on Sales Order

I am configuring in SAP R/3 a Free Third Party Sales Order . . . The problem I am having is with the Processing Status area . . . specifically the Overall Status for the Header and the Item. With the new set up neither of those fields show on the sales order, and so the order does not show up on VA05 as open when first entered. What would need to be done in configuration for these fields to be on the sales order, and to show the appropriate status?
Update . . . The only way so far I have found to have these fields show on the sales order is by using the Completion on the item category, but from what I am reading it is not the suggested way to do it, yet the only way so far to get it on there. And, the problem here is when in MIRO the PO on the Free Third Party Order, it does not complete the Sales Order Header or Item, so I still am unable to get the status to change.
Any ideas?
Edited by: Diane Thacker on Aug 4, 2009 9:41 PM

Hi,
Per standard process, the sales process will not complete unless the billing has been done for the sales order.
What this means is once MIRO is done, the sales order is eligible for billing. You must complete the billing, so that the sales order wont appear in the VA05 list. Until billing is completed, the sales order status remains open.

Problem in Approving Requisition Request in MSS UWL

Hi,
I'm facing problem in approving requisition request sent through Manager in MSS UWL.
We have configured standard process HR_MSSRCF_REQUISITION with ISR scenario is SRQ3. Workflow is WS45600028
Case: When I successfully Check & Send Requisition Request form from MSS Recruitment, it is coming in Manager UWL.
But, when i open the workitem for approval it is not coming as a PDF form with Approve Button in the bottom (Standard). Instead, it opening as per the below screen.
Please help to resolve this issue.
Regards

You should be giving the process reference number or workitem ID in transaction hrasr_test_process.
Which release you are on , what is the SP level of component EA-HRGXX?
Further as per note 972322 - HR Administrator: Migration WD4A - the start process application has been migrated to WDA.
Check the UWL XML configuration to see if the config is as below for the approval task...
APPLICATION     ASR_PROCESS_EXECUTE(For EhP4, otherwise application depends on the level of EA-HRGXX )
      DYNPARAM     WI_ID=${item.externalId}
      NAMESPACE     sap
      SYSTEM_ALIAS     <use your system alias>
A sample XML is available with note - 1371626 - UWL Configuration for HR Administrator BP version 1.51.
This appears to me to be a XML configuration issue. Collaborate with your portal and UWL config consultant.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Sahir.

PO Std Workflow stuck "In Process" status

Dear Experts,
I have a case where a PO workflow is stuck "In Process" for over 8hrs. The background step - that has the underlining method to set status of PO to released is stuck and has not completed. (WS14000145)
I am not sure of what could have been the problem - possible locking or anything else?
Could you please suggest me a way out?
Do I have kill the workflow (logically delete) and restart it again or have any other way around?
Many thanks!
Vj

Well, it appears to be a locking issue.
I found entries in SM58 and SM12. However I released them but the workflow still continued to be in Hanged - IN Process status.
I then cancelled the workflow and then manually set released the PO documents.
Then the PO documents were fine and were possible to edit.
Thank you.
