Creation Approve Workflow

Hi:
I am making a approve workflow. I have a problem in the Approval Activity, I choose the Agent Rule, (I create de Rule) and the workflow is not appearing in the web page.
I had another workflow that in the approval activity, in the agents I choose Expression -- &Agent_0001.Agents& and the workflow is appearing in the web page, Why do I have that problem?
Thanks and Best Regards
Jessica

Hello,
Yes approval preview is posssible only with adhoc agent because they can be instanciated independently from the workflow.
Check note 391674, it explains how creating adhoc agent for customer workflow.

EBP PO creation - Approval workflow is ambiguous

Could you please help me to fix this issue?

More than one WF is active which satisfies the same start condition. Please check if there are any WF's without start condition. This also contributes to this error.

Approval workflow for creation of organization

Hi,
I need to configure an approval workflow for the creation of organization. When the admin tries to create a new org, the approval should go to a admin group. The org should get created only once approval is done. I have configured an approval workflow for the Xellerate Organization resource object. I have created an unconditional task where the assignment tab has the admin group. When I test it, the org gets created without going through the approval process. Could someone please tell me what am I missing?
Thanks,
Supreetha

You'll have to raise request for Dummy Organization. It's Order for Organization so will not appear for user.
I am not sure the full flow/complete requirement of your.
APMU, you want approval while creating Organization into OIM.
This is not possible OOTb when you create ORg in OIM.
You'll create 1 dummy Org
1 Dummy RO "OFO".
Attach one Object Form with this RO.
Raise request for Dummy Org and Give the name of Org on the object form for which you want approval.
In the provisioning workflow, use OIM API to create Org into OIM.
Done !!!

Create an Approval Workflow for User Creation in AD

Hi
Anyone, tell me how to create an approval workflow to create users into AD. For example, before provisioning user into AD resouce the request should go to the Manager of the user for approval.
P.S: I am using OIM 9.1
Thanks
Sireesha

Hi Sireesha
You want to create a new Process definition, selecting "Approval" as the process type.
Then associate it with the AD User Resource Object. Add a "Manager Approval" process task and use a Task Assignment Adapter to to assign the task to the manager of the request target.
In order for the Approval Process to fire, you need to ensure that you provision the AD User Resource Object via a Request, rather than directly.

OIM approval workflow creation

Hi Gurus,
Is it possible to give permission to a group in the OIM to be able to create/manage Resource's approval workflow? If so, what I should do? Which permission are needed?
Or just system administrator is able to do that?
The group was created just to perform that activity and it can't have another privileges.
I would appreciate any help.
TiA,
Carlos

In pre 11g there is no really good way to do this as approval workflows are defined in the design console. One of the things I am excited about 11g is that the approval workflow is moved to BPEL (http://iamreflections.blogspot.com/2010/09/oim-11g-approval-workflow-orchestration.html)
If you need to support this in pre 11g you can either try to configure the design console to just have the approval workflow menu item. i haven't tried that but it does not look simple or straightforward to me.
If the approval workflows are simple you could try to go over the custom resource object or custom menu item road. A third option would perhaps be to let them define the workflows in a free standing tool and then parse in the changes and use the OIM API to update the approval workflows.

Error auto-firing an approval workflow inside a project's workspace

Hi all,
I have activated the SS2010 Workflow in PWA site collection features in order to use an approval workflow in one of my project's workspace. I setup the workflow under "Project Documents" and select to auto-start upon an item's creation. However this doesn't happen and I always get an eventreceiver exception in Event log. It works as expected when I fire it manually. I am connected as the system account.
Is this a known issue or is the log correct stating that a system account cannot trigger a workflow autostart (below)???

Hi George,
The creation of the SC stays the same. Only the event linkage and the start conditions determine which workflow will be started.

GRC AC V10 - Mitigation Control Approval Workflow

Hi guys,
can me explain somebody the difference between the processID SAP_GRAC_CONTROL_ASGN und SAP_GRAC_CONTROL_MAINT?
And as well can somebody provide me the initiator rule ID for both so that we can have a detailed look into the brfplus rule.
We only want to mitigate controls via an controlowner approval and not a process for the creation of new controls.
That means an asisgnment approval workflow for mitigation controls.
Thanks a lot.

Hello Alexa,
Did you ever employ SAP_GRAC_CONTROL_ASGN ? Were you able to identify the included agents ?
I am interested in identifying approvers for mitigating controls who can be included in the workflow but are not risk owners. Would you have any suggestions for this type of agent ?
Any information would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jamie

OIM Approval Workflow starting Exception

Hi to all. I'm working with approval workflow in OIM11g and I've followed the OBE for the design of a ResourceSerialApproval Workflow. When submitting a request which is to be approved by this workflow at request level, the request creation fails with this exception:
IAM-2050014:An error occurred while initiating approvals for request oracle.iam.platform.workflowservice.exception.IAMWorkflowException: Unable to instantiate the workflow process due to null. The corresponding error message is {1}.
I've searched this forum for the error and seen that maybe it could be caused by a bad props file when registering the workflow: this is NOT my case. The workflow gets correctly deployed.
Could anyone help me?
Please I have no idea on how to solve this problem.
Thanks in advance,
Giuseppe.

Hi,
Open your approval workflow in Jdev, open "ApprovalProcess.bpel" file in source mode,
Check if custom attribute is getting assigned before the payload is loaded:
something like
<copy>
<from variable="resourceAdmins"/>
<to variable="initiateTaskInput" part="payload"
query="/ns2:initiateTask/task:task/task:payload/task:ResourceAdministrators"/>
</copy>
<copy>
<from>
<payload xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/bpel/workflow/task">
<RequestID xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/bpel/workflow/task"/>
<RequestModel xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/bpel/workflow/task"/>
<RequestTarget xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/bpel/workflow/task"/>

Invoice plan, no GR & invoice approval workflow?

Dear all
We would like to consider start using Invoice Plans for rent expenses. I have basically 3 questions:
1) Is it possible to have it implemented with no GR mandatory?
2) We already have an invoice approval workflow (incl. invoice scanning), could it be extended to Invoice Plan?
3) We have a segregation of responsibilities, one staff member saves invoices as parked, another staff member posts it. Is it possible to have this split for invoice plans?
I'm sorry foir the silly questions, I have zero experience with invoice plans .
I would be glad if you could also share your experiences.
Many thanks
Anke

Hi Anke
Invoice plan process supports automation of creation of invoices. You can implement the functionality without requirement for GR. Also the system will check the invoice plan and determines the list of lines due for invoice creation and then creates the invoice when we execute the transaction MRIS which can be further processed in the payment run based on the payment terms. So this process does not involve manual receipt and scanning of invoices and the invoice will be in "posted" status after MRIS run.
Thanks

SharePoint Approval Workflow using SharePoint Designer in SharePoint Foundation 2013

I am unable to do SharePoint Designer workflow for approval process and I didnt get any Approval process in Actions in SharePoint designer Workflow also I don't find workflow features in Site collection features SharePoint 2013.
Even I am not able to do simple Out of the box Approval Workflow.
Kindly help me with this

Unfortunately, Out of the box workflows are not available in SharePoint foundation 2013, you need at least the standard version of SharePoint 2013.
You can still create .Net Workflows using the 2010 plateform.
Take a look at this great comparative between the three versions of SharePoint 2013 :

Setting up Sharepoint 2013 approval workflows depending on field value

Dear Microsoft Support,
I am still relatively new to Sharepoint-Infopath and would need help with setting up workflows for a requisition form I am creating. I have designed and created a form using Infopath 2013 and have successfully created the link
to have the data uploaded into my Sharepoint Server 2013 library. This form's purpose is to have our users make supply requisitions from the Warehouse department. We are a school, therefore, there are numerous different departments with different approvers.
My goal now is to setup the approval workflows using Sharepoint Designer 2013. The complication now is that only certain people need to approve the requests, depending on the department selected. For example, I am in the IT department, if I put a field's value
as "IT" the form will be sent to the IT department manager prior to going to the Warehouse department for processing. If the user chose "English", the form will be routed to the English department head for approval. What are the steps that
I would take to have that kind of customization? How do I setup approval workflows in Sharepoint Designer 2013 to meet that?
I have tried searching for solutions over the web, but all of them are too generalized and would not be related to my case in terms of different approvers depending on the different departments in our school. Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks. Jason

I would create a second SharePoint list that is set up with two columns. The first column is Title (which is a default column) and the second column is 'Person or Group' column and name it 'Approver'. Then enter the department in the title field and select
the person who needs to approve that department's forms in the 'Approver' field. Use this list and pull in this information in the InfoPath form by creating a data connection to the newly created list and set up the filter to only pull
back the information where 'Title' = 'Department'. After this information is pulled into your form, store the approver information in a hidden field in the InfoPath form and use that field throughout the workflow.
I know this is a very brief explanation so let me know if you need more information.

Approval workflow in SharePoint foundation 2010

Hello Experts,
I'm using SharePoint foundation 2010. Can someone help me understand the procedure for creating the approval workflow for a doc library using the SharePoint designer 2010. It would be great if you can guide me the step by step procedure for setting up this
workflow.
Thanks.

Hi rebel537,
As you described, you are using SharePoint Foundation 2010. There is no “Start approval process” action when you edit SharePoint Foundation 2010 workflow in SharePoint
designer 2010.
I suggest you using “collect data from a user” action instead of “start approval process” action to complete the approval task. There is a demo for your reference.
1.
Open the SPD, navigate to the workflow edit zone. Select “collect data from a user “action.
2.
Click data, in the pop-up window, click next and enter the task name for the approval workflow.
3.
Click next, define the fields for the task, for this demo, there has a field “approval result”.
4.
Then click finish. Back to the workflow edit zone, click user, in the pop-up window, select the user for the task then click finish ,back to the workflow edit zone.
5.
Add a condition (if any value equals value) after the action.
6.
Click the first value, and then click Fx, there goes to a pop-up window, enter as below.
Data source: Association: Task List
Field from source: Approval Result
Field: ID
Value: Variable: collect
7.
Set another value to “Yes”, add the action” set workflow statue”, set it to approval.   Add an If-Else branch, set the workflow statue to reject.
8.
Publish the workflow, and use it for the approval purpose.
Thanks,
Simon

FI Upload file (Approval Workflow)

Hi All,
Need some assistance:
Currently our company has a standard approval workflow built. So when we receive an invoice without a PO, we manually post the invoice to a GL & Cost Centre. Once the invoice is coded, It’s then sent to the GL owners to approve using the workflow currently in place. All this works perfectly fine.
My issue is FI Upload files……. As Upload files contain several GL accounts – we are currently attaching a manual email approval from the approver to the file upload so the Accounts Payable department could post without any further approvals in Workflow as an email approval is sufficient.
We would like to build the same workflow approval cycle that we have already in place for Fi Invoices.
Note – an upload file come in with 10 different GL accounts ( ideally we don’t want to send it to 10 different approvers) as this will slow down the process, so I was wondering if there is a better solution that you could share to eliminate the upload going to 10 approvers.
Any Suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Alex
