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

Note 967429 - Approval buttons not updated after release
Note 1074724 - WS14000148:Button "Return to approver" does not work
Note 1019390 - Contract APPROVE/REJECT button displayed even after approval

One step approval workflow

Hi All,
I have added a step in one step approval workflow to check shop on behalf.
When a person shop's on behalf of a manager, and 1 step approval is triggered, i want the approver to be the manager.
But what is happening is that Manager's Manager is getting the workitem!
My query is that :if A shop's for B, the approver should be B for the shopping cart. How can i achieve this????
Anybody knows what needs to be done in this scenario?
Thanks & Regards,
San

Hi San,
In addition to Usman's views also look at the below mentioned points :
1. In your org. structure if you have named somebody else as the head of the department for that org. unit, it will go to that person for approval.
2. And there is no point in taking approval from the same guy for whom you are shopping on behalf. In such a case that guy can himself create a shopping cart.
Looks like there is some mis / lack of understanding about the correct client requirements.
But there are few work arounds you define this guy as the substitute for his manager.Then either of them can approve the shopping cart.
Or.. don't make any body as H.O.D of org. unit and define the approval agent in the work flow builder using SWDD txn and let the approver will be taken from there.
Hope this makes you more clear and helps in resolving your issue. Clarifications are welcome.
Award points for helpful answers.

Standard n-step approval workflow for Purchase Order in sap 4.7?

Hello friend,
In SAP 4.7 there is any standard template for n-step approval workflow for Purchase Order.
thanks in advance.

Hi AM,
there is no std template for n-step approvals but for Single Release.
What you could do is create a custom one as per the number of approvals for PO.
Also note a PO Release Strategy can handle only 8 levels of approval.
Hope it helps.

Single Step approval BRF Workflow for RFx.

Hi,
I am facing one problem in process controlled workflow for RFx. I have the scenario where I have only one approver but 7-8 reviewer are there in between of approver and initiator for example:
Initiator >reviewer1>reviewer2->reviewer3->....reviewer8-->approver.
For acheiving this I have activated standard single step approval workflow.
But while I am trying to add reviewers to the RFx at the time of creation of RFx the system is not shwing the reviewers. it gets refreshed only reviewers line is added to the reviewers Tab but system did not display any reviewer.
And while I publish the RFx it directly goes to the approver and while i tried to add the reviewer from approver end the same problem is coming.
Please help me. How I cam achieve this functionality.
Thanks & Regards,
Sachin

Hello Ashutosh,
Thanks For your reply. I want to add reviewers at the time of creation of RFx not ad-hoc approvers.
As I explain in my question that I have only one approver in whole approval process rest all are the reviewers only who only do the review and add comments not the approving authority.
Thanks,
Sachin

Confirmation n-step Admin approval workflow

Hello friends,
We struck up in setting up admin workflow with the badi BBP_WFL_ADMIN_APPROV. We have activated the workflow WS10400020 and we could able to determine approvers in that badi and able to pass the approver into output parameter of badi et_agent. Approvers are getting determined in the confirmation and able to approve it.
But we need to have two step approval in that badi. Is the admin workflow (WS10400020) one-step approval workflow? Can we have two - steps in this workflow? In the badi, we are determining two approvers and all the approvers are getting passed into et_agent which is then getting passed to first step in the approval process. We would like to pass one of the approver in to next step.
Could you please advise me on that?
Thanks,
Arun

Masa,
Thanks for your reply.
Can we manually add approvers in case of confirmation one or two step approval workflows? Can we replace an approver who already there approval preview with an adhoc approver? In my case, both the feature is not working. Just want to know is this a standard process or we have a fix for that.
Thanks,
Arun

Is N level workflow in SRM suitable for BRF rather than the two step approv

Could anybody give some information about N level workflow in SRM abt whether it is more suitable for BRF (business rule framework) for agent determination rather than the two step approval workflow ?

Hi Rita,
BRF is process level configuration. You will have to define a schema and it will be tied to a Business object (say BUS2121). Schema consists different process steps. Each process step can be tied to a work flow (Task id). So, it doesn't matter whether 2 step or N step WF in BRF for the process step. Agent determination will happen regardless.

Determine approvers based on lineitem in Shopping Cart Approval Workflow

Hi All,
We have N-step Approval workflow for Approving the Shopping cart implemented.
The issue here is that based on the Product Category for a line item the list of approvals may differ.
How can i handle this scenario ?
Regards,
Radhika.

Hello Priyanka,
While using N-step item level SC WF, you have to use BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI for agent determination. This badi gets called everytime when shopper changes SC or approver takes action on it. So after every change done to SC, approvers are determined.
Follow the listed steps:
1) As per your logic, for each item first determine the approvers at each level & assign them approval index. Arrange them in ascending order of their approval index at item level.
2) Now its possible that you have multiple approvers, multiple item at each level. For sending SC for approval, you will have to generate Approval_object_guid for each approver. For this you have to find out a criteria for generating Approval guid.
Eg:
SC has 3 items then, if for any 2 items product category is similar then approvers will be similar at a particular level. Similarly for different Product Category, different approvers are determined. So you can consider 'Product Category' & 'Approval index' as a criteria to club approvers at each level.
3) Use function module ''BBP_WFL_DIN_APP_OBJ_GET' to generate approval guid based on criteria & to update badi parameter 'item_approval_obj'.
4) Update badi parameters 'Approval_table' and 'Item_approval_table'.
5) Once SC is approved by all, set 'no_further_approval_needed' flag.
Please let me know if you need any further help.
Thanks,
Shital

Problems with Auto approval workflow (WS 10000060) for shopping carts

Hi SAP Network community,
I have got a problem with the auto approval workflow for shopping carts.
Basically the workflow approves the shopping cart once it was created.
But then the related Purchase Order remains in Status held. If the PO gets ordered manually then it is not transferred to the R/3 backend system.
For testing purposes also the one step approval workflow was activated. If the shopping cart gets approved by clicking into the detail approval screen (not by approving through the green tick box in the shopping cart overview) then the PO gets ordered and transferred to the backend system as normal.
But if the shopping cart gets approved by using the green tick box in the shopping cart overview then the same problem occurs as described for the auto approval workflow.
The system version is SRM 4.00
Did anybody have the same or similar problems with the auto approval workflow and what could be the reason for this problems.
Thanks in advance,
Robert
