Completion and approval workflows in line item based SC approval scenario

Hi SRM experts,
We are on SRM 7 ECS , support pack SAPKIBKV08
We are designing line item based SC approval workflow. We also have completion workflow. i.e after requester creates a shopping cart, it goes to buyer as per completion workflow( if the SC does not have price , vendor or has a free text) , and then after the completion workflow, it goes to main SC approval workflow.
My questions are :
1. If a requester creates 2 line items in SC , and 1 line item does not have price/vendor/or material , whereas 2nd line item has price/vendor/ and material , can we send onlt the 1st line item to completion workflow and not send the 2nd line item in the completion workflow but directly to SC approval workflow ? OR we have to send the entire cart to the completion workflow ?
2. After the completion and the approval workflow , if line item 1 is approved, can it create a PO , whereas the 2nd line be still in approval . i.e do all the cart items need to be approved before creating POs or as and when individual line items get approved , they can create thier own POs

Hi Sumedra,
Which workflow are you using - application or process contrlled workflow?
Assuming you are using process-controlled workflow - I will answer following questions -
1. Can offline approval be used for item based shopping cart approval workflow?
- Yes, it can be used !
2. Can different line items be sent by mail to different mail boxes?
Yes
3. Will 1 manager see all the 10 line items OR only the 1 line item for which he is responsible?
1 manager can 'see' all the items but he can only approve or reject the item that he is suppose to act on. All other item will be grayed out. However, this behaviour is configuarable !
4. If he will get only line for which he is responsible , and once he clicks on approve , will this approval apply to his line item only , OR it will apply to all the 10 line items ?

Line item based approval

Hi All,
I have line item based approval workflow WS14500015. My shopping cart has multiple line items each awaiting approval from multiple approvers.
Now my requirement is when any approver approves his line items , that particular line items should not be allowed for changes even though the shopping cart has status awaiting approval coz others line items are still awaiting approval .
Is this possible i.e user should be able to make changes to unapproved line items abut not approved line items .
Can i user badi BBP_WFL_SECURE_BADI for this ?? Please if anyone has already done this please share your inputs .
Thanks in advance
Iftekhar Alam

Hi Alam,
have you checked the APPROVAL_HISTORY_TABLE and ITEM_APPROVAL_HISTORY_TABLE? Here you will receive information on already approved items and the current approval process.
Kind regards,

Offline approval for line item based Shopping carts

Hi ,
We are planning to use offline approval and line item based approval (item based approval workflow) for shopping carts.
For e.g. 10 line items in a cart can have 10 different cost centres, and a line each need to go to respective cost centre managers for approval.
have few clarifications:
1. Can offline approval be used for item based shopping cart approval workflow?
2. Can different line items be sent by mail to different mail boxes?
3. Will 1 manager see all the 10 line items OR only the 1 line item for which he is responsible?
4. If he will get only line for which he is responsible , and once he clicks on approve , will this approval apply to his line item only , OR it will apply to all the 10 line items ?

Update Approval Status of parent Folder based on approval status of folder items

Hi,
I have a SharePoint list which contains folders. Each folder contains one or more items. I wish to update the folder approval status to "Approved" when all the items inside the folder are approved.
The workflow should trigger whenever the approval status of one or more items inside the folder is changed and is expected to check the approval status of all other items inside the folder. If all the items are approved the folder's approval status should
be set to "approved".
I am designing the workflow via SharePoint Designer 2013 and using SharePoint Online 2013 .
Thanks a lot in advance.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to update Approval Status of parent Folder based on approval status of folder items.
Per my knowledge,
there is no out of the box way to accomplish this with SharePoint.
Though we can loop the
folder items to set the content approval status, we can not get the parent folder and then set the content approval status.
As a workaround, I recoemend to create event reciever to get set the content approval status of the folder items.
For more information, you can refer to:
How to: Create a remote event receiver
How to create a simple Remote Event Receiver for a Custom List in Office 365 SharePoint 2013 site
Regarding SharePoint Online, for quick and accurate answers to your questions, it is recommended that you initial a new thread in Office 365 forum.

How to add new line item based on main item using crm_order_maintain

Hi All,
can you please provide a way to create a new line item based on main line item and save in crm transaction( in house repair order) by using crm_order_maintain(from SAP GUI).
Thanks,
vinod.

Hi Vinod,
The relationship with main item is stored with CRMD_ORDERADM_I- Parent.
You need to pass the guid of main item to orderadm_i-parent. This will keep the relationship with main item.
Thanks

COPA Realignments for line item based reports

Hi Guru
I built two CO-PA line item based reports in our environment. Now , there are some organizational changes in our environment and Now I have re-derive a characteristic from customer master data. Does those changes reflect in my line item based reports, If i run Re-Alignments (KEND)?
Thanks in advance

Line item reports (defined w/KE91) will reflect the realignment. Line item display (KE24/KE25) will give you the choice of reading the original posting or the realigned data.

Line-item based profitability report (CO-PA)

Hi SAP community,
when I run KE24 i can select the "Mode of access"
Read acc. to current structure ==> Realignment changes are included
Read as posted ==> Realignment changes are excluded
When I create a line-item based CO-PA report (KE91), do I have the same functionality, do either include or exclude realignments?
Thanks in advance,

When I do a realignment and run a line item based report afterwards, the reports picks up the realigned value.
I havent seen any setting during the report setup where I could potentially define if the realigned or the original value should be picked.
So I assume SAP always selects the realigned values from the segment table in case of a line item based report

Gross weight and net weight of line item in a delivery

Hi what exactly the meaning of gross weight and netweight of delivery line item?
Where can i see these 2 fields in the transaction?How weight differs to the quantity for a particular delivery item?
Thanks in advane
Mahesh

Hi,
Gross Weight
The system can use the gross weight at a later stage, depending on what kind of capacity check you run, to check storage bin capacity for warehouse management purposes.
The system calculates the gross weight of each item by multiplying the delivery quantity by the gross weight per unit that comes from the sales order. If there is no related sales order, the system uses the gross weight from the material master record. You can change the gross weight manually in the delivery document.
Net weight
The total net weight of all items in the delivery.
Use
The system calculates the net weight of each item by multiplying the delivery quantity by the net weight per unit that comes from the sales order. If there is no related sales order, the system uses the net weight from the material master record.
Please reward if helpful.

Possibility of reversing Goods issue and delivery of one line item

Hi experts,
Is there a possibility of reversing Goods issue for only one line item and also the delviery for that line item so that i can make changes in the sales order for that line item only.
Appreciate your response.
Regards,
krishna

Hi Laxmipathi & Rithvika,
Basically the issue is in the sales order there are around 90 line items out of which most of them has been processed the delivery and GI and even invoices has been made for some.
While doing so, there are about 5-6 delivery docs has been created for the 90 line items.
Now, we need to change some data for few line items , for this we dont want to do reversal for all the line items and again do a delivery and PGI as these line items are in various delivery docs.
Let me know , if there is anyother way of doing it or we should follow the normal process of doing it all again.
Regards,
krishna

System status and user status in Line Item Reports

Dear PS-friends,
I have to extend the CI CI_PROJ with some new fields. These fields should be shown in diverse Line Item Reports (CJI3 u2026).
I know how to get these customer fields into the field catalog for the reports (maintain include table CI_RKPOS, EXIT_SAPLKAEP_001 and ViewCluster V_TKALV).
Now our customer wishes that 2 of the new fields are: system status and user status. The status should be shown in CJI3 as a concatenated field as you see it in CJ20N.
In CN42 there is the column system status as a standard column. But I cannot find the structure CNJ_STAT included in V_TKALV for Line Item Report Object=PD.
Has anybody an idea how it works to show the system status and user status in Line Item Reports.
Thanks in advance!

Problem is solved.
I wrote a function module using FM 'STATUS_TEXT_EDIT' and concatenated line and user_line.

Moving the Shopping Cart workflow forward in a approver Rejects a line item

Hi Friends,
We a facing an issue while Shopping Cart Approval process.
We have designed our SC Workflow , with Schema and 4 Process levels. Currently the Approvals are happening fine.
Issue is happening when a Line Item is Rejected by a Single Approver. The Approval process does not move forward.
We need need to move the SC process forward.
Ex: SC: 1000000032
Approval Flow:
ITEM1: APP01 -> APP02
ITEM2: APP05 -> APP07
Scenario:01 :
Once APP01 & APP05 approves in first level. Then APP02 & APP07 approves . Then the process completes.
Scenario:02:
Once APP01 Rejects & APP05 Approves in first level. Then the SC WF does not move forward.
How can I move the WF process forward once a approver rejects.
Need your inputs.
Regards,
Jagan

Hello Markus,
what you describe does not correspond to condition standard determination to know if decision has to be checked or not.
Indeed, this evaluation is done by /SAPSRM/IF_WF_PROCESS_SBWF~IS_DECISION_ACCEPT_REQUIRED method from /SAPSRM/CL_WF_PROCESS_SBWF class.
Inside this method, the default behavior is based on decision of current process level:
- If it is not "rejected" or not "approved" (this means, if it is "inquired"), there is an interaction
- else, there is no interaction.
Then, for "rejected" or "approved" decision, a Business Rule evaluation is done in order to check if the document responsible need to accept the current decision.
If evaluation ID is true, acceptance by Contact Person is required.
I am currently not able to check workflow behaviour for partial rejection when no acceptance by contact person is customized.
I will see this next week.
Regards.
Laurent.

Hi Anurag,
Thanks for your respond.
No, it is refering to plan data.
Users want to plan the yearly budget based on line items.
Example:
User select GL Code (Variable): 100010
Planning layout should display:
Material Group : 90001 Desc: Stationary
Material No.----Quantity--Unit-----Amount
A0001 Pen
A0011 2BPencil
A3061 Eraser
The user will only responsible to enter the budget for quantity, Unit and Amount.
After finish budget for this gl code user will select
another GL Code
User select GL Code (Variable): 300010
Asset No : 123456 Vehicle
Asset Sub-No.----Quantity--Unit----Amount
123-001 BMW
123-023 BUS
It is possible to be done?

Parallel Approval of Multiple Line Items Simultaneously in BRF - SRM

Hi Friends,
   We have developed our Schema . Which has 4 Approval levels.
Issue is:
The Workflow does not go to the 2nd Approver , until all the 1st Level Approvers of the Shopping Cart Approves it.
Ex:
My Shopping has 2 Line items. Each Line Item has 3 approvers each in 3 different Process Levels.
Line Item 1 -- Project Level -- APP01
                      Category Level-- APP02
                      Finance Level -- APP03
Line Item 2 -- Project Level -- APP07
                      Category Level -- APP05
                      Finance Level -- APP09
Until both Approvers of Project Level ( APP01 & APP07 ) , executes .Neither of Category Level ( APP02 & APP05 ) can execute the Shopping cart.
We need that the Category Approvers should be able to Approve/Reject once the line items Project Level is done.
Need your assistance.
Regards,
Jagan

Thanks Hayashi.. for your reply..
We have achieved this by doing the coding in the Agent Determination Badi.
AREA GUID1 --> ITEM1 -- > 1st Approver
                            ITEM2 -->1st Approver
AREA GUID2 --> ITEM1 --> 2nd Approver
                            ITEM2 --> 2nd Approver.
Created a Custom table which will have the above fileds along with Level GUID's.
And then have used the ADHOC_SAVE & ADHOC_READ function modules to Map and read the above mappings dynamically.
Now the issue is resolved.

Item Based Automatic Approval

Hi,
Is it possible to set up a workflow so that an automatic approval is performed at item level?
The requirement is that if the Item is incomplete (i.e. will go on to create a PR), then the item is automatically approved.
I have an expression to determine if an item is incomplete, but can only select decision type 1 for the Automatic (System) Approval.
Help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike

Hi,
You can go for Item based decision for partial document (i.e., decision type 4).
Example:
In the first process level, check for the incomplete level of the item based on the expression, if it is incomplete skip the level and go for automatic approval in the next step.

FAGLL03 report not filtering G/L line items based on vendor entered in free selection

Hello SAPians,
I have a requirement to add Vendor field in the free(dynamic) selection of the standard report FAGLL03 so that G/L line items are displayed(filtered) based on the vendor values given.
I followed the SAP note 945932 to create the vendor field by adding the ZZLIFNR in the custom include of the table FLAGFLEXA followed by the configuration of custom fields in SPRO tcode. Post that I tested the report by giving one particular vendor number and came to know that no line items were displayed.
Upon debugging the program I came to know that , while selecting the data from the Inner join of BSIS and FLAGFLEXA tables, vendor number on FLAGFLEXA forms the part of WHERE clause and eventually no records are selected since all the existing records wont be having vendor number maintained in FLAGFLEXA table.
However I asked the functional guy to post the new line items under the assumption that it might update ZZLIFNR field in FLAGFLEXA. But our assumption turned out to be wrong. At this point I seek advice from your experience on the following points.
1) My understanding that failing of inner join condition is the root cause for data being not fetched in the output. Is it correct?
2) When we add new custom field in FLAGFLEXA(ZZLIFNR in my case), how the data needs to be populated for that particular field from functional/technical perspective? Does the custom scenarios in SPRO are related to this in anyway?
3) How do we need to handle the old records existing in the system with respect to the updation of new field(column) added?
Any inputs in this regard is very much appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
Yaseen

Hello Dennis,
thanks for the tip, your assumption is right, it's regarding 0FIGL_V40 in BI 7.0. Could you please be more detailed, which BW 3.x InfoSource do you mean? Or what exactly has to be done?
The "objects" under this InfoCube are - transformation, datasource (0FI_GL_40) and InfoPackage, that's it. When I check InfoCube Type/Namespace - it is based on Data Transfer Process for DirectAccess, but the checkbox With InfoSource 3.x is not checked..
Thank you in advance for your answer.

Peter
