Awaiting approval status when SC approved

Hi Guys,
We are working on SRM 4.0 in classic scenario. We have a weird situation where the shopping cart has been completely approved but the status is still in "awaiting approval". We are using teh item based approval badi.
Does anybody have an insight to why this is happening. We never had this issue in the QA box in the past. The problem suddenly shows up.
Please advise.
Thanks,
Sundeep

Not to be suspicious, but did your BC team recently upgraded your SRM Server with new service pack? If you are on SAPKIBKS09 your problem is implementation of note 842969 which is included in that service pack.
I had similar problem where shopping carts were stuck in awaiting approval when they were partially rejected.
We solve problem with implementing Note 930750 RESTART: No restart anymore with classic workflows.

  • Purchase order in 'awaiting approval' status but no approval required

    Hi
    I am using SRM 4.0 SP 13. There is a purchase order which shows that no approval is required in the approval tab, but the overall status is 'awaiting approval'. Please can you advise if this is a Support pack issue? I have checked the workflow WS14000075 which is active.
    Regards
    Rajeev

    Hi
    You would need to check if the workflow has been able to release the PO properly. Only after successful release completion by workflow, PO status gets changed to ordered from awaiting approval. Check the workflow log to see if there are any errors. Use txn-SWI1 or SWI6 to go into workflow log. Also reactive your workflow WS14000075 using txn swdd and try creating new PO.

  • Sequential workflow status when one approver is deleted

    Hi,
    I have a question and I seek answer for it:
    Suppose in Sequential workflow if there is an approval workflow:
    In it there are 3 approvers, if the workflow is passed from 1st user and if 2nd user gets deleted then what will happen with that workflow and what would be the status of that workflow.

    Hi,
    Since there might be multiple situations per your description, so the results as I tested might be a bit different. I mean you could use either SharePoint 2010 approval workflow or SharePoint 2013 workflow task.
    I created SharePoint 2013 workflow in Designer 2013 for my SharePoint 2013 site list, then added an action Start a task process, and assigned the task to User1, User2 and User3 serially.
    If I add an item1 to the list, the workflow task begins with User1. Now I delete User2 from SharePoint site, and make User1 approve the task. The task is still assigned to User2, however, User2 can recieve the email notification, but he has no access to
    site so that couldn't approve the task. The task Internal Staus is started.
    If I add an item2 to the list, the workflow task begins with User1. Now I disable User2 mailbox from Exchange server, and make User1 approve the task. The task is still assigned to User2, however, User2 cannot recieve the email notification. The task Internal
    Status is started.
    Above two situation, if User2 does not finish the task, the task wont't be passed to User3. However, I can sign in via administrator account and finish the task on behalf of User2, the workflow continues working without issue.

  • Approval Status continues being APPROVED CCM 2.0

    If we approve an item in the Procurement Catalog and then we change a characteristic using one of these following methods the status of the
    item continues being approved:
    1. we manually change some characteristic (required or not) in the Procurement Catalog
    2. we change a characteristic (required or not) uploading a supplier catalog with modified characteristics and we have already map the
    supplier to the master catalog and the master to the procurement catalog, so the new value of the characteristic appears modified in the procurement catalog.
    3. we change a characteristic (required or not) in the Master Catalog and we have already map the supplier to the master and the master to the procurement, so the new value of the characteristic appears modified in the procurement catalog.
    The Supplier Catalog has the status Manual Acceptance,
    the Master Catalog has the status Approved, the Procurement Catalog To Be Approved and there are not approval rules.
    THANKS IN ADVANCED!!!!

    Hi all,
    I hope you are using ccm v2. and csv file format
    Do one time...if it is customize char. we have to recreate the supplier and master catalog schema..with customize char. First of all you have to create master catalog than supplier catalog with contents ..we have to map supplier catalog with master catalog , Lastly you have to create procurement catalog with schema(structure) file and link master catalog with procurement catalog..and publish the master catalog. This will solve your problem...

  • When an Approval Status is set to a number

    hi,
    When an approval status is set to a number , then what does it signify.
    For eg.
    In a condition step, if approval status = 15 or approval status = 2 then what does it signify.
    how do we understand that what is the value which has to be assigned for approval status.
    thanks in advance.

    In SRM 5.0, there is an include which identifies the various values that Approval Status (and other things) can have.
    These can be found in the function group BBP_WFLH in the include BBP_WFL_CON.
    If you are on SRM 5.0, this might be helpful to know.

  • OOTB Approval Workflow on Custom List does not Update Approval Status

    I have a custom list on which I've required content approval.  I then created a workflow instance from the "Approval - SharePoint 2010" template.  For this workflow I have selected "Update the approval status after the workflow
    is completed (use this workflow to control content approval".  When I approve the list item via the workflow task item the status of the item is not updated but stays at pending even though the
    workflow shows "Completed" with the Outcome of "approved".  Is this the expected behavior, i.e. does "Update the approval status after the workflow is completed (use this workflow to control content approval"
    not work for custom lists?  Does it work on any of the lists?

    Hi Kalos1840,
    If you check "Require Content Approval" setting, only the way above can update the approval status due to the approval status is for this approval workflow. As this approval workflow cannot achieve your demand, I recommend you un-check "Require Content Approval"
    setting and create a custom workflow such as the OOTB Approval Workflow or SharePoint Designer workflow.
    Here is the steps of a SharePoint Designer workflow:
    1.Go to your custom list , click Create a Workflow in SharePoint Designer.
    2.Add a “Start a task process” action in your workflow.
    3.Click “these users” and Start a Task Process edit page will pop up.
    4.In the Participants field, input your  approvers based on the order of approval.
    5.In the right of Participants field, select “Serial (one at a time)”.

  • Need to Display Approvers name with approval status in PR

    Hi,
    We have a requirement to display the Approvers name with the approval status(for each Approve) in the purchase requisition. the developer has all the logic to achieve this and he said we cannot display this in the release strategy tab in PR but we can display the same in the tab- Customer data at the item level since it has more space. the user came back saying we should have this information in a new tab in PR with the name Approvers overview or else in any place in PR where the Buyers can easily identify where to find the list of approver names in the PR.we don't want to create a new custom tab just for this reason in the PR item. not sure whether we can really create one.
    can you please let me know where can we display the Approvers name in the PR(item level)so that the users can easily identify those.
    just wanted to know how is this handled in your company do you display the approvers name with release status any where in the PR, if yes where do you display?
    Thanks

  • Approval status after copying sharepoint issue (help friend)

    Re !
    It's surely easy...I gonna try to be clear :)
    In sharepoint I got 2 lists : list01 and list02
    On my list01 I have a workflow.
    In the list01, if the approval status of my item is "approved" then I copy the item in list02.
    My problem is : 
    the copied item in my list02 (yet "approved" in list01) have a approval status "waiting for approval"
    Strange ?
    How to keep it "approved" ? What I do not do well ? I have to change my workflow on list01 ? Create a workflow on list02 ? Settings/configure on my list02 ?
    I don't understand this behavior.
    Thank you for reading.
    Regards

    Hi,
    The approval status column is a system column, it cannot be copied by workflow.
    You can click approve/reject button in the ribbon to approve or reject the new item in list02 manually.
    Or you could change the approval status from “waiting for approval” to “approved” by code in the list02.
    The article below is about how to update the content approval status column.

  • How to get the approver from a basic approval

    Hi you all,
    I am building a custom process which requires a basic approval. When an approver approves or rejects the basic approval in the TODO tab, I need to be able to access the approver's mskey during the process that follows the approval. I have attached a screenshot of where I require the approver's mskey.
    Please let me know if you can be of any help!
    Thanks!

    Hi Jai,
    I tried to get the approvers from MX_APPROVERS, but when I write to the log, I see that the attribute is undefined.
    Here is a snapshot of the destination tab:
    Please let me know your thoughts. Right now, the script just approves the attestation and inserts a comment into the link audit table.

  • Confirmation ending in Awaiting for Approval Status

    Hi Experts,
    The Confirmation of Goods receipt was working fine till last month. Now For some PO's Confirmation is going to Awaiting for Approval status this is happening only for few PO's and for others PO's Confirmation is happening properly and the status is Posted in Backed.
    I observed that Workitem ID is not created for those confirmation's which are in Awaiting for Approval Status. 
    Please help me resolve this issue.
    Any valuable inputs are Appreciated.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Devananda A J

    Hi,
      First point if you make a GR confirmation means the PO change version will be generated and the PO  workflow will restart for the PO change version.
      Goto BBP_PD  and enter PO number check the PO change version is closed or not. If it is not closed then PO change version workflow will be in Error. If it is in Error then GR confirmation workitem will not be genrated.
    all these things will happen because of if you create a GR confirmation or any changes made to PO when the PO status is still in Transfer status.
    regards,
    Devi

  • Shopping Cart in "Awaiting Approval" Status

    Hi All,
    There is a SC which requires an approval from one approver. The SC has gone to Approvers inbox for approval. The approver has approved the SC. After this the SC is not getting approved and its hanging in Awaiting Approval Status.
    We are using N-Step BADI
    When I was checking on this I was seeing entries in SM58 as below.
    Caller       Function Module                Target System                    Date       Time     Status Text
    XXXXXXXXX SWF_RUN_REMOTE_SERVICE         WORKFLOW_LOCAL_100               03/04/2011 06:34:01 Name or password is incorrect (repeat logon)
    XXXXXXXXXX SALRT_CONFIRM                  WSCAH003SAP01_SR1_62             03/04/2011 06:34:01 Name or password is incorrect (repeat logon)
    your valuable suggestions are very helpful.
    Regards,
    Satya.

    Hi,
    Thats strange because the error 'Name or password is incorrect' usually occurs when RFC destination is not appropriate.
    Some quick checks
    1. Automatic workflow customisation (SWU3) done? All green?
    2. Remote logon working?
    Also check this troubleshooting link http://www.abovesoft.com/analyzertroubleshooting.html

  • SC with awaiting approval status and no work item for Approvers.

    Hi Experts,
    We are implementing Classic scenario with SRM7.0 and we are having Application controled Workflow.
    We are fasing issue in workflow. On SC getting ordered the status is showing as awaiting approval and there is no work item found in BBP_PD.
    When we approve this SC in SWO1 then there is no PO getting created.
    If the SC value is less than spend limit we have enabled no Workflow and in that case the approval agent table is showing as System Approver and after SC getting ordered the SC is still with the status Awaiting approval.
    Can any once have an idea how to go about with this issue.
    Regards,
    B.N.Karthikeyan

    Hi,
        Did you check the event linkage in SWE2? what do you see in SLG1? Did activate the task groups 40000003 and 40000007? also check in SM58 and SM21..

  • Bidding Engine - Bids waiting in "Awaiting approval" status

    Hello SRM Gurus,
    We have SRM 5.0 bidding engine implemented. We have been using bid invitation for about 6 months now. For the last couple weeks we are having an issue where the bid invitations is stuck in "Awaiting Approval" status. We are not using any approval process.
    I would appreicate it if any one could help me with resolving this issues.
    Thank you very much

    Thank you for your response.
    No, the problem is that we are not able to even able to publish the Bid Invitation. Our buyers are creating the Bid invitation and put it in hold for adding additional information at a later time. When they come back to publish it - it says bid invitation is already in approval process and does not allow them to publish it.
    Hope this info helps, Let me know if you need additional information.

  • SRM 5.0 Confirmation in Awaiting Approval Status

    We have the confirmations in "Awaiting Approval" status.
    I had checked the following steps but still the status remains as-is.
    1. Transaction SWUD
    2. Enter workflow WS10400010, press enter
    3. Execute 'Test environment'
    4. Check 'Including subworkflows'
    5. Execute 'Consistency check for components'
    There are no errors for BUS2203 (Confirmation business object).
    I have cross checked the BUS2203 for WS10400010 Active Status is both T-Codes SWETYPV and SWE2.
    We had a previous issue of BUS2203 with some errors and that went away after following steps in OSS Note and SDN comments. Note 962488 - "Workflow definition '&' not in version '&' (WD 401) and SDN.
    WS10400010 is No Approval Workflow for confirmations that is active and classified as General Task.
    Can you please advise on this status issue?

    Please analyse the Workflow log from SWI2_FREQ. I think you can check this issue in SRM forum. I think this is discussed.
    Thanks
