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.

    Thanks in advance.

    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.

  • 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

  • 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,
    Christoph

  • 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,

  • 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.

  • Contract Approval Problem

    Anybody knows about this problem?
    If you can't see the document link and need more informations, send a message to me.

  • 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.

  • Contract Approval

    Hello SRM Folks,
    We are on SRM SERVER 550 with support package SAPKIBKT09 - strategic sourcing. We have activated the Workflow Without Approval for Contract for event  saved and save change version (no approval required ). The strange part is that the contract status is still Awaiting Approval  although the contract header data - approval preview says No Approval Required.
    The SAP note '1018880 - Contract Remains in Status Awaiting Approval' describe the same issue but we  already have that correction in our system. Could you please suggest your view about this issue.
    Full points to those who answer..
    Cheers,
    Amit

    Hi,
    General steps for trouble shooting.
    1. Transaction BBP_PD
        - Check document status
        - Find workitem ID
    2. Transaction SWI1 or SWI6
       - paste the workitem ID
       - Check workflow status and log
    3. If you find some errors
      - check SWU2 and ST22
    4. In case your workflow template was not generated.
    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.

    Masa

  • 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.
    I've asked our BASIS team to apply and then will retest.

  • Approver gets refreshed after the contract is released

    Hi All,
    I am facing a problem while creating GOA i have activated the one step approval workflow WS 14000088 and have the agent assignment based on standard roles. I can see the approver picked up correctly in approval preview but when i release the contract or keep it in held status the approval preview gets refreshed and displays document approved and the approval workflow doesn't start. Also i tried with the N step approval for contract and the workflow behaviour is same in this case. Also in workflow diagnosis i could see error in task  WS14500051 and TS14507950 error message 'Recipient not found'.
    Please do let me know possible solution so as to get rid of this problem.
    Thanks in Advance.

    Hi,
    The problem  may be due to the roles which you have assigned to the Contract Creator and Contract Approver.
    Check whether you have assigned the role purchase manager to both the users i.e.
    1.  Contract Creator
    2.  Contract Approver
    Try to Assign the role Strategic Purchaser to Contract Creator and Assign the Role Purchase Manager to Contract Approver .
    System may be  identifying a role which was assigned to two or more persons and as the Creator is already having this role so it is neglecting the Approver.

  • Approval for Contracts

    Hi all,
    I created Contract for which I didn't define approver. Why, after I released it, Contract status is yet "Waiting for approval"? Maybe an contract approval workfolw was defined? If yes, how can I modify it?
    Thanks, Regards,
    Maria

    Hi Yann,
    the starting condition related to Purchase Contract- Evant “SAVED” is the following:

    IF TRUE Workflow Without Approval for Contract

    How can I allow Contract have no approval step? Modifying this start condition?

  • Contract N-Step approval workflow - WS14000148

    Hi,
    I have activated the workflow template WS14000148 and implemented the badi definition 'BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI' to populate the agents for routing the workflow notification.
    When i create a contract, the workitem is going to the corresponding manager, but the 'Approve' and 'Reject' buttons are disabled on the Approval step of the workitem. I have checked for activation of work flow tasks, and also assigned agents to the required tasks.
    Can anyone please help why the 'Approve' and 'Reject' buttons are disabled.
    Thanks,
    Raghu.

    Hi,
    See the foll related threads:
    Approve reject button is disabled
    Re: Approve Reject button in Item level is disable
    Also see the foll notes:
    Note 967429 - Approval buttons not updated after release
