Contract Approval Problem

Hello everyone!
I have configured my contract approval in SRM 5.0, but, the system show me some problems.
In this document, you'll see steps what I did: [Contract Aprroval|http://geocities.yahoo.com.br/pedrosapmm/WorkflowCTR.ppt]
When I'm trying set the buttom "Approval" in my contract, this send me this message: "Your changes cannot be Aprroved"
Anybody knows about this problem?
If you can't see the document link and need more informations, send a message to me.
Best regards,

  • N-Level Contract Approval (workflow problem)

    Hi,
    It looks workflow template is missing.
    Please check the note 962488 "Workflow definition '&' not in version '&'".
    1. Run the function module SWD_WFD_REPLICATE_FROM_9999 and copy it.
    2. Re-activate the WF definitions in the transaction SWDD
    3. Check Consistency in the transaction SWUD
    Also check the sub workflow.

  • Frame contract approval workflow

    Hi,
    once again I have a problem with a workflow.
    I am facing following problem:
    I am trying to create my own frame contract approval workflow (the standard doesn´t fullfill the requirements 100%).
    When a frame contract is created, BUS2014 releasestepcreated event is raised.
    When I change a contract, BUS2012 changed event is raised (there doesn´t exist any changed event for BUS2014).
    The problem with that is, that my BUS2012 seems not to be able to handle frame contracts --> there is an error message.
    Can anybody give me a suggestion how I can use a change event for frame contracts (want to have the same event like in BUS2012, but for BUS2014).
    Many thanks for your help.
    Christoph

    I tried already.
    It was not working so I took a look in the event trace.
    Following error message occurs.
    Feedback after error.
    Source (expression '&_EVT_OBJECT.PURCHASEORDER&') of binding assignment is not available.
    I tried a test in 'swo1'. Give the frame contract as an instance to BUS2012 --> ' Object does not exist'.
    I think that it is not working with this event.
    Any other solutions? Is there a way to create a change event for BUS2014 (of course in ZBUS2014), which is triggered when the change event in BUS2012 is triggered? Where do I have to define this?
    Thanks for your help,

  • Workflow for Work Contract Approval

    Hello everybody,
    I need a Workflow for 2 level of approval of work contract.
    Whenever a user make a work contract it requires approval upto two level.If Authority1 approves the contract it will go for the 2nd level approval to authority 2.If Authority2 reject that then it will come back to the creater to change it or withdraw the contract.If authority2 approve that then the work contract will be finally approved and complete the workflow else it will return back again to the creater.
       Can some one tell me whether any standard workflow is available in SAP for Work Contract approval? Which BOR Object will be useful If I have to made custom development?

    Business Object:BUS2014
    Workflow Templat:20000079
    Thanks

  • SP10 - multiple approver problem with CUP

    We have SP10 (patch 1) in our development system and cannot move forward to production because of a real show stopper.  I have currently reported this to SAP thru an OSS message (and it is in development) but would like to know if anyone else is having this issue with SP10.  (this happened even before applying patch 1)
    We have multiple approvers when creating NEW users or CHANGING users in CUP.  We have it configured to allow just one of the approvers to approve before going on to the next stage.  Since we put in SP10, CUP is requiring ALL approvers to approve the request before going on to the next stage.  We get the following message when one of the approvers approve the request:  Request no: 5020. is approved, pending for other Approvers. 
    I've seen this reported for UAR and SOD but not for CUP.  In fact, there is a fix for UAR in Patch 1 of SP10.  I applied this patch but it hasn't fixed the CUP issue.  I also don't have the issue when rejecting a CUP request, or when approving it through the configuration --> Request --> Administration screen (what I consider the Back-door since only security administrators get the configuration area).
    Thanks for your input.
    Peggy

    Christian,
    I totally agree with you.
    The good news is.... We installed SP11.1 and the multiple approver problem is fixed. 
    We have decided to leave our production system at SP8 until this system settles down a bit.  Of course, this means we can't use many of the new fixes and features (such as UAR).  We use our sandbox system to apply new support packs and do very rigorous testing.  And our DEV system is at SP8 too.
    Good Luck.

  • E-Sourcing - Contract Approval Process

    I'm trying to develop a contract approval process with our Legal department using the E-Sourcing Contract Module and I don't see a contract approval process in the contract module.  Does anyone know if the E-Sourcing Contract Module has a contract approval process similar to the RFx's approval process?
    Please let me know.
    Thank you,
    Mauricio

    Hi,
    TWE : Togethere Workflow Editor
    It is an Editor to develop workflow in xpdl format, which E-Sourcing(ESO)/CLM application understands.
    If you create/open exisitng Workflow Defination in ESO/CLM and from Toolbar click Edit Workflow, it will open in TWE !

  • Skip Contract Approval

    Hi,
    We are R12.0.6 Service Contracts.
    We have a requirement wherein we want to skip the approval flow when a contract is created.
    What are the options to achive this ? Is it going to be setups only or would it need code change ?
    Thanks in advance
    UtC

    Hi UTC,
    You can bypass the approval process but u will still have to go through the contract signing process. You can configure approvals manager to automatically approve contracts. Below are the steps
    1. Log in with responsibility, Approvals Management Administrator and click on Administrator Dashboard
    2. Change the Filter drop down to Transaction Type
    3. Enter 'Service Contracts Internal Approval' and click Go.
    4. Click the Update icon on the record returned.
    5. Click Next until you get to the Mandatory Attributes section (Step 3 of 4).
    6. In this page change AT_LEAST_ONE_RULE_MUST_APPLY to set the "Query / Value" to False.
    7. Click Next until the end and save the changes by clicking Finish.
    Any new contract created will now bypass the contract approval process but will still need to be signed. If you need to skip the contract signing step then I believe you will have to customize the work flow.
    Hope this helps!
    Thanks,
    Sid.

  • Reminder Need to Set for Contract Approval

    Reminders need to be set for contract approval when no action has been taken.
    The correspondent approver/group of approvers need to be informed

    Here is an approach that was designed by our functional team :
    You create an approval group that has just one member and when delegation is required the contract admin can add a new user to that group. This will ensure that approval goes to the delegated user as well.
    Of course, the delegated user should be removed from the group once he/she is no more needed.
    It involves some manual work but this is an appropriate solution given the restricted functionality of SAP Sourcing in this case.
    Members can share their views on this topic as well.
    Thanks

  • Contract Approval WS14000086

    Hello,
    We have a SRM 4.0 Implementation (Extended Classic) and SP SAPKIBKS09.
    This is our problem:
    We have "no approval workflow" for creating contracts (GOAs), the WS14000086 workflow.
    When the user creates the contract, it seems to be approved, but the status remain as "Waiting for approval".
    In the RZ20 transaction we have the next error:
       An error has occured MF BBP_PDH_WFL_WI_EXECUTE in position   SAP_WAPI_WORKITEM_COMPLETE. Sy-subrc
       An error has occured MF BBP_PDH_WFL_WI_EXECUTE in position SAP_WAPI_WORKITEM_COMPLETE. Sy-subrc:
    In SWDD, we check the workflows and subworkflows and there is no error (I think we fixed the error 401 "no version for workflow exist" by using FM SWD_WFD_REPLICATE_FROM_9999).
    In SWI1 there is no error and all is ok.
    In SWUD we run the consistency check and is ok.
      Any idea?
    Thanks and Regards.

  • Contract Approval Workflow - WS14000088

    We have an issue wherebay after creating and subsequently approving a contract via WS14000088, the java applet shows the approval as completes but the header status shows the contract as still awaiting approval.
    When looking at the container of the workflow, the Approval Status is returning a value of 3 whereas it should be a 0.
    Has anyone had this problem before?

    I hadn't seen that note.

  • SRM Workflow - Contract Status problem

    Hey guys!
    I'm having a problem with the status on the approval of contracts in SRM; even though all the required approvers have checked the contract and approved it, its status still remains at "Waiting for Approval." Would anyone know what might be causing this and how this could be fixed?
    Many thanks!

    Shiva:
    Believe you are talking about GOA.
    Check in transaction RZ20 for any error in the process.

    Hi,
    Hope the Acct *** Cat in the PR is F  - Order Assigned PR.
    pls try this out.
    1. In OLME , check the Acct Modification key - say , VBR for the Acct *** Cat - F  (Order)
    2. In OBYC , pls check whether the Cost Element (say,400000) you have entered in master recipe is  
        mapped against - GBB - VBR - Valuation Class Combination.
    Also ,pls let us know the Cost Element that you have entered in Master Recipe.

  • User change attribute workflow with approval  problem

    Hello,
    I have a requirement to add account numbers to user entry through workflow with approval process. and also same user can have multiple account numbers. when approver approves the User request then it's account number will be added into the user entity in ldap.
    So, i have created a Change Attribute workflow for that account number with these steps as : initiate, Approval, Commit, Error_report
    this workflow i am able to invoke through IdentityXML call and from OIM interfaces approvers able to approve and that account number is persisting under the User entity.
    Problem is: Actually above request is staging system. when user requests, it is in initiate step, when approver approves the request then only commits the info. so, there are 2 stages here.
    When i am requesting two consecutive account number requests then both requests are in initial stage. Then approver approves the 1st request then it is persisting into User entity. after that approver approves the 2nd request then this account number is overwriting the previous one. so, here is the problem i am finding. worflow is not adding the new account number.. instead its replacing the last value in the list of account numbers for an User entity.
    I hope the above problem make understandable..
    Really its a very much helpful to find the solution on this.
    Thanks in advance,
    Srini.

    Thanks for the help. Having reinstalled OID/OAM a bunch of times to properly add our custom user object, nothing seems absurd. I tried running through your steps, but I'm still not getting the workflow button. I've customized create and delete workflows properly, but the change attribute is a mystery.
    I did the following:
    1) Selected a custom attribute in Attribute Access Control
    2) Changed its read access to Anyone
    3) Saved
    4) Changed its modify access to Anyone
    5) Saved
    6) Added a new Change Attribute workflow for the custom attribute
    7) Action #1: Request, added Anyone as participant and saved
    8) Action #2: External Action, selected attribute is the custom one
    9) Action #3: Commit
    10) Saved and enabled the workflow
    11) Restarted the Identity server
    12) Picked a user
    13) Opened his user profile
    14) Clicked Modify
    The custom attribute is still editable and has no Request a Change button.
