Budget Journal Approval Workflow

I am trying to use the seeded Journal Approval workflow for budget journals. I know that this workflow works by journal batch - that is, each batch is sent into a different workflow approval process.
Now, my users create budget journals that hit different periods, and each of these journals is being created as a different batch. However, I need these journals to go into one single approval, not one approval for each batch. Is there any way to do this?
Thanks

You need to make sure you read the documentation provided by the GL team on this workflow to make sure the changes you make to the workflow are allowable. Also make sure you read the section on Oracle Support Policy for Predefined Workflows, Events, and Subscriptions in the Workflow Guide.
Technically speaking, you could have a master approval workflow, which is run, and when complete after all approvals have gone through, issues a complete activity command to the individual journal batch workflows to complete them.

    Hi
    Which SRM version are you using ?
    Please go through this ->
    The report  RSWUWFMLEC is used to send out emails to approvers. In case of line item based approval each approver should see the line items he is responsible for.
    However, he does not see any line items of the shopping cart or sees items he's not assigned to.
    Note 1133122 RSWUWFMLEC: Sometimes some Emails are missing
    Note 903724 - RSWUWFMLEC sends email with wrong or without any line items
    Note 983693 RSWUWFMLEC repeatedly sends mails
    Note 909863 RSWUWFMLEC - unexpected, incorrect recipients
    Note 1044096 RSWUWFMLEC: Wrong Emails and/or Bad Performance
    Note 1032232 RSWUWFMLEC: Mails are delayed
    Note 967343 RSWUWFMLEC: One E-mail per User - E-mails not sent
    Note 933592 RSWUWFMLEC sends mails to excluded approvers
    Note 858091 program RSWUWFMLEC sends email with all line items
    Hope this will help. Do let me know.

  • Budget Approval Workflow

    Hi,
    We have requirement for budget approval request for portfolio item. I guess we dont have any standard workflow for budget approval. Please suggest if anyone has worked on similar requirement. Also I want to know if SAP recommends any non workflow based solution for such requirement.
    Regards
    Shrikant

    Hi Shrikant,
    In this scenario, you can only enter the values manually after offline approval or you need to develop a z-webdynpro component and attach those details to financial information of portfolio items.
    In case of SAP PS/internal order, the budget planning & approval has a control over business transactions like PR/PO commitments since the planning is done over cost collectors. In portfolio management, no cost collectors, so no budget planning provided. And the information in items are there to enable decision making.

  • Budget check in workflow

    Hi,
    We have set the user budget in Org structure, now we want that if user budget is exceeded one step workflow should be triggered else no approval.How to code the same in starting conditions for workflow.
    Pls let me know how to achieve the same.
    Thanks,
    Manu

    Hello,
    There can be two ways to achieve this:
    1. Activate the start conditions for both one-step and 0-step approval workflows and use the check function modules for start condition. You can specify the check function module in SWETYPV.
    2. Create a subtype BO ZBUs2121 of BUS2121 (with delegation) and then create a new attribute in the ZBUS2121 object. Complete the coding to fill a value for this attribute and then use this attribute while defining start conditions in SWB_COND. For ex:
    If custom attribute value = 1 --> one step
    Else if custom attribute value = 0 --> no approval workflow.

  • Journal Batch Workflow - Super user

    Hi,
    We have recently implemented Journal Batch (Internal name - GLBATCH) workflow for Journal approval before posting. We would like to setup a super user, who can approve all the Journal Batch Notifications. We thought of providing Workflow Administrator responsibility, but that will give access to all the workflows. We need to give access to view/approve only Journal Batch notification.
    Please let me know if there is any way to achieve this.

  • Use of 'Cost Budget - Needs Approval' Budget Type? Change of Status?

    Hi Experts
    Could you please explain me whats the use of budget type 'Cost Budget - Needs Approval' ? And is it possible to use workflow to change this to 'Approved Cost Budget' after due approval?
    Requirement is to create a initial draft budget which is yet to be approved, so at this time the budget type required is 'Cost Budget - Needs Approval'. Once this is submitted for approval and approved theh this should be shown as 'Approved Cost Budget'.
    Please let me know if this is achievable and how?
    Thanks & Regards

    Hi,
    Budget types are mainly used to classify your Project budgets, there can be different types of budgets for your project cost and Project Bill. The Cost Budget type is designed in such a way to keep a track of your expenses with some pre-estimation of your Project expenditures.
    Whatever you create initially, This can be treated as Initial draft budget, once after the manager approves the budget then the status changes to "baselined" there is a field to enter the description, where you can give the case as Intial draft budget or Approved draft budget or you can use the Version name for the case, "Version 0" is the Intial draft budget and "Version 1" is the approved cost budget.
    but functionally, for one project cost budget there cannot be two different budget types.

  • JV Approval Workflow

    Dear Experts,
    I need to create Appproval workflow for Journal Voucher. I had gone through the docuemnts in SPRO - financial accounting - tools - workflows.
    I have created a small custom workflow with FIPP - Completed as triggering event. But i feel we can use the std workflow template provided by SAP, but dont know which one to select and how to proceed. If anyone has information, please guide me.
    Any kind of help is highly appreciated.
    Regards,
    Lakshmi

    Hi Lakshmi,
    I am having a challenge with JV approval workflow myself and I'm wondering if you can help. Essentially, I need users to be able to post JVs below the threshold amount, and park (send for release) ones above the threshold. I just posted a note, the contents of which are copied below. Any guidance you can provide would be much appreciated.
    Thanks in advance,
    Kathryn
    Our objective is to have senior accounting personnel approve/release journal entries that exceed a certain value, say $100,000. We have configured the release function for parked documents, using workflow WS10000051 with business object 'FIPP', event "COMPLETED" and release amount of $100,000. However, this appears to assume that staff have authorization only for parking, because if you have posting authorization, nothing stops you from posting a document over $100,000. It seems illogical that you have to exceed a certain $ value before the release will trigger, but if your document is below the amount, you can't post it because you can only park.
    In order to avoid making approvers release every single journal entry, what we want is for users to be able to post any document below $100,000.00, but be forced to park ( save as completed) all documents >/= this limit. We tried setting up a validation on the document amount, but the error message forces us to exit completely, i.e. doesn't allow us to park the document.
    Is there perhaps a different workflow that triggers at the point of posting, rather than parking, that will accomplish what we want?
    Thanks,
    Kathryn

  • SharePoint Approval Workflow using SharePoint Designer in SharePoint Foundation 2013

  • Setting up Sharepoint 2013 approval workflows depending on field value

    Dear Microsoft Support,
    I am still relatively new to Sharepoint-Infopath and would need help with setting up workflows for a requisition form I am creating. I have designed and created a form using Infopath 2013 and have successfully created the link
    to have the data uploaded into my Sharepoint Server 2013 library. This form's purpose is to have our users make supply requisitions from the Warehouse department. We are a school, therefore, there are numerous different departments with different approvers.
    My goal now is to setup the approval workflows using Sharepoint Designer 2013. The complication now is that only certain people need to approve the requests, depending on the department selected. For example, I am in the IT department, if I put a field's value
    as "IT" the form will be sent to the IT department manager prior to going to the Warehouse department for processing. If the user chose "English", the form will be routed to the English department head for approval. What are the steps that
    I would take to have that kind of customization? How do I setup approval workflows in Sharepoint Designer 2013 to meet that?
    I have tried searching for solutions over the web, but all of them are too generalized and would not be related to my case in terms of different approvers depending on the different departments in our school. Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks. Jason

    I would create a second SharePoint list that is set up with two columns. The first column is Title (which is a default column) and the second column is 'Person or Group' column and name it 'Approver'. Then enter the department in the title field and select
    the person who needs to approve that department's forms in the 'Approver' field. Use this list and pull in this information in the InfoPath form by creating a data connection to the newly created list and set up the filter to only pull
    back the information where 'Title' = 'Department'. After this information is pulled into your form, store the approver information in a hidden field in the InfoPath form and use that field throughout the workflow.
    I know this is a very brief explanation so let me know if you need more information.

  • Approval workflow in SharePoint foundation 2010

    Hello Experts,
    I'm using SharePoint foundation 2010. Can someone help me understand the procedure for creating the approval workflow for a doc library using the SharePoint designer 2010. It would be great if you can guide me the step by step procedure for setting up this
    workflow.
    Thanks. 

    Hi rebel537,
    As you described, you are using SharePoint Foundation 2010. There is no “Start approval process” action when you edit SharePoint Foundation 2010 workflow in SharePoint
    designer 2010.
    I suggest you using “collect data from a user” action instead of “start approval process” action to complete the approval task. There is a demo for your reference.
    1.  
    Open the SPD, navigate to the workflow edit zone. Select “collect data from a user “action.
    2.  
    Click data, in the pop-up window, click next and enter the task name for the approval workflow.
    3.  
    Click next, define the fields for the task, for this demo, there has a field “approval result”.
    4.  
    Then click finish.  Back to the workflow edit zone, click user, in the pop-up window, select the user for the task then click finish ,back to the workflow edit zone.
    5.  
    Add a condition (if any value equals value) after the action.
    6.  
    Click the first value, and then click Fx, there goes to a pop-up window, enter as below.
    Data source:  Association: Task List
    Field from source: Approval Result
    Field: ID
    Value:  Variable: collect
    7.  
     Set another value to “Yes”, add the action” set workflow statue”, set it to approval.   Add an If-Else branch, set the workflow statue to reject.
    8.  
    Publish the workflow, and use it for the approval purpose.
    Thanks,
    Simon

  • FI Upload file (Approval Workflow)

    Hi All,
    Need some assistance:
    Currently our company has a standard approval workflow built.  So when we receive an invoice without a PO, we manually post the invoice to a GL & Cost Centre.  Once the invoice is coded, It’s then sent to the GL owners to approve using the workflow currently in place.  All this works perfectly fine.
    My issue is FI Upload files……. As Upload files contain several GL accounts – we are currently attaching a manual email approval from the approver to the file upload so the Accounts Payable department could post without any further approvals in Workflow as an email approval is sufficient.
    We would like to build the same workflow approval cycle that we have already in place for Fi Invoices.
    Note – an upload file come in with 10 different GL accounts ( ideally we don’t want to send it to 10 different approvers) as this will slow down the process, so I was wondering if there is a better solution that you could share to eliminate the upload going to 10 approvers.
    Any Suggestions are greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
