Approval preview in SRM in table form by default...

Hi experts,
Please tell me, what should I do to have document approval preview in SRM (5.0 version - Extended Classic) in table form by default? In standard, default setting is that approval preview is shown as a java applet graphics. But I have to make it by default visible in table form with option to change it to java applet graphic, if someone needs that. Can I do it somewhere in spro?
Regards
RafaD

Hi
Please look in SRM - SPRO Settings ->
Here is the path ->
SRM Server -> Cross-Application Basic Settings -> SAP Business Workflow -> Activate Signed Java Applet for Approval Preview and Documents
Deactivate java applet approval preview
Also, please see the SAP Consulting OSS Notes, which talks about the same problem ->
Note 1077956 - Follow-on document display: Tabular displ instead of applet
Note 1028482 - Approval preview: Tabular display instead of applet
Do let me know.

Unable to view the approvers in approval preview at SRM PO change

Hi,
We are using SRM 5.0,
we are picking approvers from ECC and approvers are picked correctly using BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI and displayed.
Here the problem is , when we change the PO in SRM and check the approval preview before we click order. approval preview is blank and displays as "No approval required". this is not calling the BADI BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI when click on approval preview button.
after PO order the approval preview is displayed correctly.
Your help is really appreciated.

Approval Preview Graphic not syncing with Approval Text in SRM 4.0

We are currently using SRM 4.0 in an extended classic setup and have the following issue.
When creating a shopping cart/PO in SRM and looking at the approvals pending/processed or waiting the approval preview screen is different when choosing graphical display as opposed to text display. The graphical display appears to be the accurate source showing the current status of the work items but the text display will show something the work item as awaiting approval by the individual. The In process since description and processed on descriptions on the text display appear correct but the status and the approver are inaccurate.
Has anyone seen this issue before and can lend a hand to what could possible resolve it?

Hi Robert,
I faced the same in SRM 4.0. As usually users are not looking into the text display
we did not further follow up on that issue. Usually Graphics and Text should be
same. It depends on the saved cookies and stored internet pages corresponding
to the used Browser Version.
I cannot recap SAP's answer on that issue - did you also open an OSS?
Thanks,
Claudia

Approval preview not displaying approval details in 'Check Status'

Hi All,
I am facing an issue in the below scenario:-
First a requestor creates an Advice Special Request Form which goes to a purchaser for approval. The purchaser rejects this item and adds a new item by creating a special request form and fills in correct details. While he does this, the cost assignment for the items is different(multiple cost center assignment). Then he approves this Shopping cart. When the requestor Accepts the Changes, he is not able to view the approver details. But once he clicks on change option, then the approval details are shown in the approval preview.
Is there any way that the approval details are shown when the user clicks on the 'Approval preview' as the SC has already gone for approval to the manager? Is there any particular reason why only in change mode he can see the approval details?

Dear Poster,
As no response has been provided to the thread in some time I must assume the issue is resolved, if the question is still valid please create a new thread rephrasing the query and providing as much data as possible to promote response from the community.

Workflow applet in approval preview (shopping cart) changed in SRM 5.0

Hi,
we have upgrade from EBP 3.0 to SRM 5.0.
The approval preview in the shopping cart transactions (f.e. BBPSC03) now shows only the approval state (in grahpic mode), not the step description from the workflow definition.
In EBP 3.0 was showed the step description.
How can we change the applet output ?

SRM 5.0 - Approver Names Not Displaying in Approval Preview

Hi,
Has anyone experienced the following problem in the approval preview applet?
Were using the WS14000133 shopping cart approval workflow. The approval preview stopped working once we moved it to production January 1. The approval preview in production doesnt display the names besides the approval steps. It displays the correct number of nodes/steps but not the name beside each node/step.
If the cart is ordered, the approval requests are delivered to the correct approvers. The BADI is returns the required information for each step as well.
We did not experience this problem in our non production systems.
Thanks,
Jerry Martinek

Hello Jerry,
Can you please check whether they have maintained the fullname in the SU01 settings and also make sure that the right value is being populated in the ls_approval_agent-name with the fullname(either with last/first name) of the user in the badi.
Hope this may solve your issue.
Best Regards,
~Mani

Approval Preview issue

Hi,
Recently we upgraded our production system to SRM 5.5 Server from SRM 3.0. We were using a custom N-step BADI workflow in SRM 3.0. After upgrading it to SRM 5.5 server(we are using the std N-step BADI workflow in our upgraded system), the PO workflows that were awaiting approval before upgrade are not showing the approvers in the approval preview. But the new PO's seems to work fine. The approver list in the wofkflow container for these PO workflows are empty. Have anyone faced this issue before?
Regards,
Maria.

Hi ,
I would appreciate if anyone can reply me for fixing the problem.
Problem: The approver does not show in the approval preview after the shopping cart is saved, however before saving the shopping cart it shows the approver in the approval preview. We are using two workflows: WS10000060 Auto approval and WS10000276- 1 level spending limit approval.
Details of the problem:
The following steps specify the problem in detail , it is applicable for both the workflows WS10000060 Auto approval and WS10000276- 1 level spending limit approval.
1.     Shopping created
2.     The approval preview shows the approver ( please see #1 in the attached document) before saving the shopping cart.
3.     Shopping cart is saved.
4.     After saving , Check status transaction shows the shopping cart in status awaiting approval
5.     The section approval shows No workflow started , application error occurred
6.     T.Code SWI1 shows the workitem created for the shopping cart but in error.
7.     The work item container does not show any agents
I would appreciate it anyone can reply as to how to fix it ASAP.

Hi Disha,
I have synchronised through SWU_OBUF several times since yesterday , but still at the same place.
In the workflow customising - The only red entry which I have is for check entries from HR control tables under Mainiatin definition env. and Mainiatin guded procedure for gateway under guided procedure (new in SRM 5.0) .The verification workflow works fine . Also I think these entries will not impact the workflow functionalhese were red even in my earlier system .
SLG1 shows all green entries and there are no entries in RZ20.
I have specified task TS10008126 as general task as I want anyone who is identified by SLAapprover should be able to process the workitem and as per documentation I can specify this task as standard task.
What should I do.. , anything am I missing .
Thanks and Best Regards
Pawan

Wrong approval preview: One Sptep Approval WF in PO WS14000089

Hi Gurus!
We are using SRM 5.0 and we need to set up the WF WS14000089 for approving changes in POs. The problem is that, we will not have the responsible for the approval under the Purchasing Organization, as we will replicate the PPOMA from R3. So, the responsible for approving all the changes in the PO will be under one box (department in the PPOMA). There will only be one person with rights to approve changes in POs. As we cannot assign it indirectly to the Purchasing Organization, we need to assign the approver using WF.
We need that, every change in a PO needs to be approved by this single person.
We have tried to assign him as a responsible in WS14000089 for step 000023 "First Approval". We have defined in tab "Agents" the option "User" and the user that has to be the appover.
When we test the WF, no approver is determined in the approval preview for the PO. But if the PO is saved and you display it again, in the approval preview, the correct approver has been determined and the PO is sent to this approver in order to check the modified PO.
What are we missing in order to display the correct user in the approval preview tab in the PO?
Many thanks and regards!
PWBR!
Ana

Change shopping cart approval preview

Please suggest:
How to default 'Displays as table' on the approval preview on the shopping cart. We are working on SRM 5.0.
Thanks,
SV

Hi Masayuki,
I have a requirement from customer to make approval preview tab default to expand mode in first display. Currently users need to click on the u201CApproval Previewu201D hyperlink in shopping cart to view further details- like approval status, add approver and add reviewer.
I could'nt find any relevent thread on SDN. I found few threads related to "Approval preview :tabular display instead of Graphic or Applet".
We are on SRM5.0 and other details are :
SAP_ABA 700 0021 SAPKA70021 Cross-Application Component
SAP_BASIS 700 0021 SAPKB70021 SAP Basis Component
Could you please help me resolving the above issue.
Thanks in advance

Add Approvers/Reviewer in approval preview

Hi All,
I am using n-step workflow BAdI for SC approval. (WS14000133).
I am having very strage situation. I can add Approvers / reviewers in approval preview in my development client but the same functionality doesn't work in test or QA environement. I compared Workflow / Task and all seem identical.
Any tips / clue?
Regards.
Pras Durafe

Hi
Please give more details in this case. Which SRM Version are you using ? Are you using Stnadard or custom Workflow ?
Seems to be side effect of any recently applied OSS Note.
Look for what all new OSS Notes you have applied in last few weeks using SNOTE Trnasaction - Notes Browser. Do a comparison of the OSS Notes applied in Dev Environment with the QA Environment.
Any error message, while adding approvers in the Shopping cart.
Please try the following SAP OSS Notes ->
Note 952108 - Incorrect error message when approvers are entered
Note 741905 - Sec. level 1, shopping carts on hold: Approver not added
Also, raise a Customer OSS message with SAP as well.
Hope this will help.
