Planning Level and Planning Group empty

Hello
We have recently activated EA-FIN (Financials Extension) in our client´s SAP system (ECC 6.0) to implement Liquidity Planner via transaction SFW5.
After this activation, we found that SAP is not updating fields of planning level (FDLEV) and planning group (FDGRP) in BSEG for relevant FI document postings, these fields are empty after FI document postings. We don´t no this is because of activation of EA-FIN or some customizing parameters of Liquidity Planner. We were not able to find any SAP notes for this issue. Can anybody help out please.
Thanks and regards
Srinivas

HI,
Directly EA-FIN doesn't have any impact on said issue. EA-FIN activation is mandatory for any TRM implementation and the said fields are updated properly in the documents without any issue.
You can try one option since you activated EA-FIN in between. Run Tcode -FDFD which will update all cash managment related flows and fields at both FI & TRM areas.
Please confirm the testing of FDFD in test system before executing the same in Live System.

Please suggest.Did you see "3.AME Rules" in [ID 1168883.1]?

Parallel Approval for Approval Groups

I have a doubt in AME rules which can be created for the Payables Invoice Approval Transaction Type. I have to configure AME rule for the particular Scenario. (Issue is the item marked in red)
Scenario:-
Created a Line item attribute to get the value of minor account from invoice distribution line. SQL query for same is given below.
select glcc.segment3
from ap_invoice_distributions_all apd, gl_code_combinations glcc
where
apd.dist_code_combination_id=glcc.code_combination_id and
apd.invoice_id = :transactionId and apd.invoice_distribution_id in (select invoice_distribution_id
from ap_invoice_distributions_all
where invoice_id = :transactionId
order by apd.invoice_distribution_id
Created 2 conditions with this attribute, Minor1 - for segment3 17240 and Minor2 for segment3=44496
Created two different rules using these conditions (used two different approval groups, with one approver each in approval group)
I created an invoice with 2 distributions. First dist has minor 17240 (satisfying rule1) and second with minor 44496 (satisfying rule2)
I expected both these rules to be executed at the same time and e-mail to be sent to these approvers parallely (we tried to set order num in approval group to not unique and num=1. But it didnt work)
However, these rules are processed serially and notification is sent to second approver after first approver approves it.
We need to figure out a way, how notifications can be sent to both approvers (of different approval groups) at the same time also can item level approval be configured for approval groups?
I even tried Dual Chain of authority. But Dual Chain of authority is again for supervisory hierarchy. I also tried the pre-chain-of-authority approvals (which will be an approval group) along with the main approval group. But parallel processing was not possible.
Also tried the exception condition but could not obtain the desired functionality.
Any pointers would be appreciated. Thanking you in anticipation.

Did a little digging and it worked!

AME iExpenses: Cannot create new approver group

We need to set up approver groups for iExpenses. I assigned myself Approvals Management Administrator and Aprovals Management Business Analyst roles. With these roles I can create new attributes and conditions. However, I cannot create new action types and approval groups. The create button for the approval group just does nothing.
What am I missing? We are 11.5.10.2, AME.B

Pl see if ML Doc 420387.1 (How to Create the Approval Transaction Type for AME.B or higher ?) can help

AE: Approvers not getting E-mail reminders to log onto AE and approve

Hi All
We have set-up our email reminders and escalation but the approvers are not getting the e-mail reminders to log onto AE and approve/reject the request. Is there some additional config we need to do.
We set our background jobs for every 60 seconds so if there is a request the approver should get it a minute or two after the request has been logged.
Any assistance will be appreciated.

Hi Rodger,
did you try running the background job "Immediately"?
Do you get any emails then?
If yes, try scheduling more often (enter 1 in the seconds field), at some point SAP has mixed up minutes and seconds (it says 60secs but actually it's 60mins).
If no, are there any requests yet where escalation has already taken place? Or has the time for sending reminders, e.g. 2 days, already passed?
Regards,
Daniela

Dynamic Approver Group Will Not Return Multiple Approvers

We have created a dynamic approval group to return person_ids (stored in a lookup) for some of HR operations people. This will be called by an FYI rule.
The problem is that AME seems to fail if mulitple person_ids are returned by the dynamic query.
Is it even possible for a dynamic approval group to return multiple person_ids? If so what could I be missing?
P.S. I realize I can use a static approver group to meet the same requirement but the reason we choose a lookup was it made it easier for us to maintain. We can revert to a static group if there is no other solution.

We overcame the problem by splitting out each person_id into a different row in the lookup table.
Multiple approvers are now being returned.

Approval workflow for EBS responsibilties and AD Groups

Hi,
I need to trigger a workflow when user makes a self-service request for EBS responsibilities & AD groups.
Since, "Add responsibility" and "Add user to Group" are process tasks, how can we attach a workflow to process task? or we can acheive this by some other means.
Note that, system is already in place & users are already provisioned to AD & EBS, so, we cant go with solution of creating RO for either AD Groups or EBS responsibilty.
Thanks,
Raghu

Assuming your user can have only one Account for the target, then all you need on your request is the name of the group you want to add.
On your custom object, the request should only list the groups the user is requesting. If you want a single group per request, place the groups looking on the parent object form. If you want multiple groups per request, you will create a child table with the groups on it.
When the request process and approval is completed, your "Create User" code for this object or instead "Provision Groups" task which is unconditional, your code should search through the user's existing resource objects to find the valid one for their account in this target. Once the object is found, grab the process instance key, and using the APIs, add the group entries to the child table of the parent object. When the entries are inserted into the account object's child table, the "Insert" tasks will trigger. The adding of the child table entries will allow you to not make any modifications to your existing parent object because it will use all of it's current configurations to provision those new groups to the user account.
Step 1. Request is made for new groups.
Step 2. Approval is performed.
Step 3. Provisioning steps for new object searches for user's account resource instance and adds the new groups to that objects child table
Step 4. Insert tasks are triggered which will provision the new groups for the User.
All done.

SQL Script - PO/PR Approval Groups and associated Positions and holders

Hi,
Does any one has SQL to list down - PO/PR Approval Groups and associated Positions and holders?

If you are looking for verifiing the approval groups, you can use the approval diagnostics; that has most of these sqls.

Single step workflow with multiple approvers (without using a group)

Hi,
is it possible to have a single step workflow with multiple approvers without using a group? This is for a contract document.
i want to add a number of users based on particular logic. The approvers are random and do not belong to any particular group.
DO let me know if it is possible or if any of you have done that.
thanks in advance.
regards,
rubio

Hi Rubio,
I believe the behavior would be, if individual users are added as approvers then the system would require each approver to approve the document. However, if you use the user group, you could set the role so that it would be either ALL or ANY.

Vikram

Two levels of approval

Hello all,
I have a client that needs 2 levels of approval for travel expenses (request for travel- TRIP and travel expenses- specification of travel expenses- PR05). In order to do that we need to expand table in travel request and PTRV_HEAD (TRIP) seems like a good table because it is included in structure PTP02 (for travel expenses PR05). We need to expand table in order to get a drop down menu od approvers (level 1 and lever 2). Do you have have experience with expanding another table?
They are on version 4.7.
Do you have any other suggestions or ideas?
Thank you
Dubravka
Edited by: Dubravka Martinovic on Mar 17, 2010 1:49 PM

Hello,
I am not sure about the drop down list of the approvers however if you want that approval request to be send to two approvers as soon as user submit the trip, it can be achievable by workflow.
There is another case where trip should be approved by first approver and then it should go to second approver for further approval, this scenario is also achievable by doing changes in workflow.
Hope this help!
Thanks,
Vaibhav
