Automate copy version after approval process

Hi,
My client wants the system automatically copy data from version A to version B after they approve a request. Example: Department manager approve asset request with "Final - ABC", then this version is automatically copied to "Working - DEF".
Is it possible to do that in Hyperion?

Hi,
While not entirely automatic, you could attach a business rule that copies Version A to Version B, to the form that the person reviewing and approving the asset req uses for the review. Make sure only that/those reviewer(s) have access to see and use the business rule. If they know they are going to approve, run the BR then approve.

Change Status of archived document after approval process

hi how can we change the status of an archived document in KM after it has gone thru the approval process.
the reason once we archive we cannot resubmit the document for approval.
thanks

Hi Venu,
have a look under System Administration - System Configuration -- Knowledge Management -- Configuration --Content Management -- User Interface -- Commands -- UI Command Groups -- StatemanagementGroup.
See Java class: com.sapportals.wcm.rendering.uicommand.cm.UIStatemanagementGroupCommand. Take the class and decompile this and everything needed around to understand how this class works.
Then you can choose to extend this CommandGroup to also have a command "Resubmit for Approval" or you can implement your own UI Command only for resubmitting (you will also have to activate your command (group) by settings within the configuration).
On the other hand, if all this is completely new to you, I'm a bit sceptical if the task isn't a bit too big as a first task on KM implementation topics...?
Hope it helps

PCW call custom task after approval process

Hi comunity,
I need to know how could call a custom task from PCW. Because I need to update a Z log table after the users approval SC just when the document is set to approved. I've checked the WS40000015, but seem to me that this is not possible.
I have no other option to use the BBP_DOC_CHECK_BADI to do so? Am i right?.
Regards.

Rick, thanks for your answer.
I didn't explain myself right with Z table. This is a relationship that required my customer between different entities (SC guid and one external number ID from a Non SAP SRM system and other fields).
I agree that maybe the business requirement could be revised. But the core question it's the same, is not posible call a custom task from the process level, because seems to be limited to decision tasks. I don't get why SAP does not create a condition step in WS40000015 which allow us to call custom background tasks.
I will use the BADI, hoping to get the SC when it's already approved.
Regards.

Help on Discount after Approval Procedures

Hi Experts,
Our customer is reporting an error after approval process that some documents has discount after the approval procedure.
Our customer insist that there are no discount when they approved the PO/ or Ap invoice but after approval, the originator can no longer add the documnts due to discounts.
Is there anybody experience the same problems with thier system.
I cannot report this since I cannot simulate the error
We are using 2007B Pl15
Regards,
Sandra

HI Sandra,
I agree with Gordon, I faced similar issues with the discount field but not with approval process though.
This happens when Quantity and unit price of an item are entered and the line total gets populated automatically after this if the user changes the line total without deleting unit price or quantity the discount field gets populated according to the change in the line total, please check if the end user is doing any of this.....or similar changes in these lines.....

APPROVAL PROCESS WORK FLOW

Hi,
I have already set the approval process, in which I have a user that authorizes and the one that publishes.
The ContentCreator is supponsed to create documents that need to be authorized and published in order to be seen. But what happens when the Content Creator happens to create a new folder and a new document in that folder? That new folder does not inheritate the approval process, and so the new document in that folder is automatically published, invalidating the approval process.
How can I avoid that mistake? Ho can I limit the creation of new folders just for the administrator?
Thanx

925685 - Approval process is not triggered after documents are added

Hi there,
I was wondering if anyone found already a solution for the following problem.
According to SAP Note: 925685 - Approval process is not triggered after documents are added.
Within our SAP application, we want to approve purchase orders for departments based upon the document total.
I was very astonished that employees are able to add a PO which will not trigger an approval stage and after the document is added, they have the possibility to change the document and at the update moment no approval will be started even if the document meets the approval requirements.
Therefore I really want the flexibility to give users the possibility to change their PO.
Meanwhile, documents which are added under approval, are also locked for changes, although this is another question it is also pretty annoying!
I hope anyone has already found a method or work around for the stated problems above.
(We are using SAP 8.8 PL 20)
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards,
Marcel

Hi Kambadasan,
Thank you for your reply
I'm sorry but I know how the approval templates work and they are configured correctly, however as SAP also mentioned in their own Note, this is due to the lack of SBO that SAP has such behaviour.
Hi Gordon,
Thanks for your reply.
Unfortunately I have not found the post you mentioned...
I will post my issue alson on the topic you mentioned.
Hopefully they found a solution or maybe version 8.81 will solve the problem.
Thanks a lot!!
Kind regards,
Marcel

I had previously purchased the programs "Pages" and "Numbers" and they are on my iPhone and iPad I was told that the programs would automatically copy a version of itself for the iMac to be running them but I don't see it installed. How can I install them

I had previously purchased the programs "Pages" and "Numbers" and they are on my iPhone and iPad I was told that the programs would automatically copy a version of itself for the iMac to be running them but I don't see it installed. How can I install for free? I see that I could go to the apple store and purchase them again but I belibve that since I had already purchased them; I would get a free copy for my Imac. Do I got something confused here? Please help.

Whoever told you that was misinformed or lying. Those applications are sold separately for the iOS platform and the Mac platform.
Go to the Mac App Store to purchase Pages and Numbers for your Mac. They're $20 each. If you are running an older version of Mac OS X that can't use the Mac App Store, you can purchase install media from Apple.

Hi, thank you for your replies, I found out few things about my servlet, and its portability
and i have few questions, although i marked this topic as answered i guess its ok to post
I am using javax.servlet.context.tempdir to store my files in that servletcontext temporary directory. But i dont know how to give hyperlink
of the modified files to the user for them to download the modified files.
What i am using to get the tempdir i will paste
File baseurl = (File)this.getServletContext().getAttribute("javax.servlet.context.tempdir");
System.out.println(baseurl);
baseurl = new File(baseurl.getAbsolutePath()+File.separator+"temp"+File.separator+"files");
baseurl.mkdirs();so i am storing my files in that temp/files folder and the servlet processes them and modifies them, then how to present them as
links to the user for download ?
and as the servlet is multithreaded by nature, if my servlet gets 2 different requests with same file names, i guess one of them will be overwritten
And i want to create unique directory for each request made to the servlet , so file names dont clash.
one another thing is that i want my servlet to be executed by my <form action> only, I dont want the user to simply type url and trigger the servlet
Reply A.S.A.P. please..
Thanks and regards,

Approver Details Not Visible After Changing the Approval Process

Hi Gurus,
This expense report belongs to an open approval task when an approval process has ended its validity date.
After a new approval process is activated, all pending approval tasks experience the issue of approver details not showing.
In order to reproduce following steps need to be done :
1. Deactivate the current approval process and activate the new approval process.
2. When the status of the recently deactivated approval process is "Ended With Open Tasks", go to the "Show Open Approval Tasks" to
see the open approval tasks.
3 Check the Cost Assignment area for expense report which is in the open approval tasks.
3. Approver Details are available.
4. The approver sees the expense report on his/her approval list.
Once the approver approves, it doesn't go out of his/her approval list and the expense report is still pending for approval.
To determine if the expense report has no other pending approval from anyone else, there should be the approver
details but the issue is it doesn't show up.
The expense report is also stuck on the approver's approval list even after approving.
Workaround provided to the Customer: Recall the ER and submit again for approval.
But as per customer there should be a background job to refresh the expense report to reflect the approval details.
And issue should not occur as explained on the point 4.
Kindly suggest if anything is possible to improve the system behavior.
Regards,
Rahul Mishra

Hi Rahul,
Although we have a workaround, I believe a permanent solution has to be implemented.
In cases when an expense report has more than one approver (for example there are 4 approvers) and the 3 approvers had already approved, I think it will not be good to recall the expense report and resubmit because the traveler will have to seek for approval again from all the approvers.

Item in Transfer Process after approval of shopping cart

Dear Friends,
Pls help in Providing a Solution for the Problem in Shopping Cart after approval the status is showing as " Item in Transfer Process" and FOD is not going to generate.
Thanks
Mukesh

Hello Mukesh,
It will happen for any of the following reasons;
1). If the vendor mentioned in the shopping cart is bolcked or marked for deletion (in R/3).
2). Material in the shopping cart is blocked or marked for deletion in the backend (R/3).
3). If the purchasing group is not existed in the backend.
To see such errors you can login to GUI (SRM) and see the errors in t code RZ20.
Navigate to the SAP EBP monitors>Shopping cart>click on "BAckend appln errors.
there you can investigate for further reasons.

SP2013 Content Approval Process, restrict status change on updates after Approval

Hi ,
I had implemented the SharePoint content approval process for one internal requirement. Now, there is a need for modifying the content after Approval Status and by doing so SharePoint modifies the status as 'Pending' after edit. But, I have to retain the
approval status.
Please share any thoughts on how to achieve this ?
Thanks in advance.
soundar

Hi Soundar_SP,
After you edit the list item, then the approve status will change to pnending. This is by design.
There is no OOTB feature to achieve your requirement.
As a workaround, you can create a custom Approve workflow with start Approval Progress action and set the workflow started when item created.
Best Regards

I am trying to download video that i purchased from itunes, but everytime i want to resume the process after pausing it, it automatically start the whole downloading process again, how can i eliminate this problem?

i am trying to download video that i purchased from itunes, but everytime i want to resume the process after pausing it, it automatically start the whole downloading process again, how can i eliminate this problem?

They don't normally appear in the download screen ... until I attempt to download another movie. Then they just start appearing. If you click edit - a normal movie download has a circle that appears on the left hand side that allows you to select and delete ... these movies don't have that option so you need to find the movie in you list (under movies) and select the download cloud symbol again to stop it downloading ...you may need to do this a number of times before it stops for a while ... or until you try to download a movie then it starts all over again.
i have logged out of my itunes account. restarted the iPad, removed all movies, restarted the iPad, logged back into my iTunes account and restarted my iPad .... but as soon as I tried to download a single movies ... the other movies started appearing in the downloads again.

Assign step after Approve step can't execute automatically

I have a Assign step after Approve step in my workflow. After Approve step is completed. Assign step always shown as Error status in the workflow owner's queue. The workflow owner has to manually Perform this Assign step and send to next step.
Is there way to let Assign step execute automatically after Approve step is completed?

Thanks for the posting. I am using MDM 5.5 SP4, maybe that is the reason. Assignment works fine if I manually perform it during the workflow. But it can't execute automatically as part of the workflow. it needs manual execution. Do you think this will be resolved if I upgrade to SP5? Is SP5 already available now?

Approval Workflow - How to stop Approval Process after one Approve?

I currently have a approval workflow for announcements. There are two approvers assigned to the workflow with the serial setting. How do I end the approval work process after one of the two persons approve? Currently, if one person approves, I have a "In
Progress" status under the status column.
Here is the text-based editor view of my workflow:
f Current Item:Body not equals Current Item:PriorBody
Start Approval process on Current Item with User1; User2
Else if Current Item:PriorWorkflow equals Approved
Set workflow status to Approved
If Current Item:PriorWorkflow equals Rejected
Set workflow status to Rejected
Any tips are welcomed. I have found that Nintex released a workflow that addresses this, but I would like to work around that if possible.

Hi David,
Yes, I created the workflow based on SharePoint 2013 Workflow platform. You can have a look at the screenshoot:
Thanks,
Eric
