Change Ordered to Awaiting for Approval

Hi,
I have query regarding the SSP PO Approval.
Work flow for approval of the po dint went to any approvers inbox, but Po was automatically approved. Even though we have made many changes so that PO will come ack to Awaiting Approval. But with in seconds it was changing to Ordered.
What were the posible errors & what are the corrective actions to be taken.
Please give ur inputs.
Regards
Pratap

Hello,
Check in BBP_PD the workflow that has been triggered.
Then, check in SWB_COND the workflow start condition for event CHANGEVERSIONSAVED for BUS2201.
Start condition for change version should not be fine.
Kind regards,
Ricardo

Shopping cart in status awaiting for approval

Hi,
When you ordered the cart first, did you check if a workflow was started?
BBP_PD -> SWI6
If a workflow was started then expand the workflow in the technical workflow log to see if there are any errors in the log.
If the workflow was not started then check with the start conditions to see if they match the first cart cart. Refer to note 322526 for other checks to carry out.
Which release are you using?
Kind regards,

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.

Devi

SC status is still in Awaiting for Approval Even after PO and confirmation creation.

Hi Experts,
We have SRM 7.0 with Classic scenario, Here we have strange case where for One SC already backend PO created and Confirmation is done. Still SC status is showing as Awaiting for approval. Kindly Help me to solve this issue.
Thanks in advance

Basu

Hi Basu,
What is the workflow framework that your are using. Is it application controlled workflow?
1. Go to T code BBP_PD and check if the workflow triggered for the shopping cart is in in-Process status. If it is in in-process status copy the header workitem and go to T code SWPC , remove all the values displayed in the selection screen just enter the header work item ID and execute. If you are able to see any entry after execution select it and click on continue workflow. this will fix your problem.
2. Check in transaction SM58 to see if there are any failed entry on the day of shopping cart creation , if there is any entry in failed status please reprocess the LUW.
hopefully any one of the above steps will fix your issue.

PO Awaiting for approval

Hi
We are on SRM 5.0 , configuring Extended classic scenario. After SC is approved , even if I assign the vendor while creating the SC , it always creates a incomplete PO and it is in Held status. When Purchaser Logs in and Process the PO, add the vendor and order the PO, it always says that "Awaiting approval". I have configured the "No Approval Workflow" for PO, but still it goes for approval. When I check for the approval inbox, a work item "Create PO" appears in my inbox. I could not process the workitem only forward button is available.
Please help me to solve this issue.

Chary

Hi,
Go to the transaction SWU3 and check ---> Maintain Runtime Environment and observe all green ticks.
You will find a list of all scheduled background jobs XXXXXXXXXXXXXX. Execute each and observe the jobs for different activities.
SWWDHEX
SWWERRE
SWEQSRV
SWFSLSDLEX
Observe whether all automatic workflow customizing is active and green green.
or,
Go to SM37 and put SW* all related to Workflow.

Goods confirmation workflow is awaiting for approval

Hi Gurus,
while confirm the goods/service when try to check the document i am getting a message as the document is free from errors but when i click on confirm the history is showing as " waiting for approval" but when i go to item details and click on approval button it is showing as "error in process".
Has anybody experienced this type of problem?.
Thanks,
mahesh

Hello Mahesh,
You can verify the status of the Confirmation document through BBP_PD transaction.
The confirmation status if the Awaiting approval should not yet checked.
hence please check the status of the workflow related to the same confirmation in swi6 TRANSACTION.
Try to complete the Workflow manually if the workflo is stucked.
Then verify the status of the docment
let me know if u have any difficulties in the above.

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.

Sanjeev

Purchase Order Release Strategies for Changed Amount

Hi Gurus,
We have a unique request from the business to set the release strategies for POs based on the Still to Deliver amount, not the Net Total Amount of the PO.
Example: Configuration is PO total amount <$5K requires only L1 approval. PO total amount >$5K requires L1 and L2 approval. PO was created for $8K and was release using L1 and L2 approvals. Receipts were posted to PO in the amount of $7K. Now the buyer has added an additional line item for $1K. The PO total amount now shows $9K ($8K + $1K), the Still to Deliver field shows only $2K ($1K from original remaining amount + $1K from new line item). Business wants the release strategy for this change order to go through L1 only since the Still to Deliver amount is <$5K.
Has anyone done this before? Any ideas??
Thanks,
Gabe
