Critical Req : SO Approval workflow - Same like Purchasing

Dear All,
We have a requirement on SO Approval workflow.
Client wants that during booking of SO system should trigger the approval. We have built a custom workflow.
But the challenge is : We are unable to develop the workflow same as Purchase order.Like if purchase order has been rejected it goes back to user.
Can we develop the same manner. please guide me on the same. Is it possible if we use OA Framework.
Awaiting for your kind reply on the same.
Regards,
JON

"PO APPROVAL" BUTTON이 PO APPROVAL WORKFLOW를 CALL하는 방법
=====================================================
PURPOSE
Purchase Order나 Requisition Form에서 "PO Approval" Button이
어떻게 PO Approval Workflow를 CALL하는지에 대한 방법을 기술함.
Explanation
1. Purchasing approbal에서 Approve button을 Click하게 되면,
APPROVAL WINDOW form이 call됩니다.
==> this is form POXDOAPP.fmb
==> attached corresponding library file POXAPAPC.pll
Both Enter Requisition and Enter Purchase Order forms call
the same approval form.
2. The library file "POXAPAPC.pll"은
Procedure "PO_WF_APPROVE_C.SetUpWorkFlow" 가 존재하며,
이 procedure는 POXWPA1B.pls package file안에 있는 procedure
"PO_REQAPPROVAL_INIT1.Start_WF_Process"를 call하게 됩니다.
3. 이 procedure가 workflow를 call하게 되어 workflow를 초기화하고
아래의 parameter를 사용한 workflow를 통해 document를 처리하게
됩니다.
parameters:
PO_REQAPPROVAL_INIT1.Start_WF_Process

Approval Workflow - PPOMA_BBP

Hello experts,
We have one user that in the PPOMA_BBP is in the purchase group "X" but when he create one RFx the approval goes to the approvers of is purchase group and for the approvers from another purchase group, but they don't have any connection. How is that possible? We have the standard scenario for the RFx approval workflow. The purchasing organization is different to.
The approval should go only for the approvers of is purchase group.
Any suggestion?
Thanks in advance,

How to troubleshoot approval workflow of a rejected purchase order

Hi,
We are working in oracle applications 11i.
I have a purchase order with status rejected that has hanged up in the system. The user rejected PO and the document has not been transferred to the PO buyer. From the application forms -> Forward documents window, I can see that neither the user who rejected or the buyer has the document.
From System Administrator responsibility I can see that the workflow administrator can modify a PO that is only IN PROCESS,
what shall I do?

please check :

Approval workflow of purchase requisitions after EhP4

Hi all,
After implementing a new support package installation (Ehp4), there are some purchase requisitions that get their approval workflow started again even after purchase order has been created.
Is there someone that could give me some help on this topic?
Thanks a lot.

Hi,
Please see note 797775 Entry in Transaction SWEC hinders workflow.
1. Delete the entry 'EINKBELEG BUS2012 RELEASESTEPCREATED On Create'
from SWEC.
2. Activate the linkage between BUS2012 RELEASESTEPCREATED and
WS20000075 in Txn SWE2.
This will help you.

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.

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

As such there are no events available in BUS2023, therefore extend it to add the event and call this event in your BTE FM using FM SWE_EVENT_CREATE_IN_UPD_TASK

Upload of PO Approval Workflow Customization showing errors.

Hi,
As per the client requirement, I have customized the PO approval Workflow
For customization i did take care that only those standard workflow processes are customized which are prescribed by Oracle as customizable.
For ex: PO Approval Top Process (Protection Level 1000)
1. All other custom processes are defined and then included in the standard processes.
2. I have done all this activity at an access level of 100 in Workflow Builder.
3. For every custom object in workflow i have checked the Preserve Customization checkbox
4. Though Preserve Customization Checkbox is not checked for PO Approval Top Process.
5. After Verifying the design in Workflow Builder i tried Uploading the Workflow to the instance but it is giving Errors
First I tried to upload in FORCE mode
1. Copying the customized poxwfpoa.wft file to PO_TOP/patch/115/import/US directory
Command execurted
$FND_TOP/bin/WFLOAD apps/simple4u 0 Y FORCE poxwfpoa.wft
After running this it was giving errors like
Display name conflict for ACTIVITY entitiy 'POAPPRV/APPROVE_AND_FORWARD_PO' with APPROVE_AND_FORWARD_THE_PO:D:Bestellung genehmigen und weiterleiten
and so on ....like this
Then i tried it in UPGRADE Mode
$FND_TOP/bin/WFLOAD apps/simple4u 0 Y UPGRADE poxwfpoa.wft
after this it was giving errors like
MESSAGE 'POAPPRV/XML_NOT_SET' is protected, no changes were saved.
MESSAGE 'WFSTD/WFSTD_DEFAULT_VOTE' is protected, no changes were saved.
MESSAGE 'POAPPRV/EMAIL_PO_PDF_SUPP' is protected, no changes were saved.

ACTIVITY 'POAPPRV/BLANKET_PO_REAPPROVAL' is protected, no changes were saved.
Though after this i checked, by creating a purchase order, whether the customization have been uploaded or not to my surprise they got uploaded and workflow was working fine
But my problem is that why is this error is coming and in what all scenarios the workflow can fail because of this?
Please advice as i m not getting any clue to it !!
Will request forum members to reply ASAP.
Thanks,
Sachin Relan

OOB Approval Workflow does not update WorkflowStatus column as "In Progress"

Dear Experts,
Any advice will be most appreciated. Here is the scenario
Repository: document library
Workflows: OOB Approval Workflow is turned on
User Action: User uploads multiple documents (say 5 or 10) to the document library
the workflow status column is not marked as "In Progress" for some of the documents. Out of say 10 documents, 6 to 7 have "In Progress" in the workflow status column and the remaining 3 to 4 don't have it!
It is very critical to have this field updated.
Alternatives: Currently it seems like the only way to update the blank workflow status column is to delete the document and re-upload it.
Solution tried: Tried turning off "Update Content Approval" option in the workflow settings. No use.

I've found out more about this. The workflow itself starts, but the workflow status column does not get updated as "In Progress" or "Approved". Its just blank.
Whats even more interesting is that it fails if the web app's port number is 80 (URL in this case will be http://server_name/doc_lib)
but it works perfectly if the port number is anything other than 80! (URL in this case will be http://server_name:port_number/doc_lib)
Any clues as to why it behaves this way?
Thanks in advance,

Approval workflow triggers when not expected for SRM PO & without Agent ??

Hi All,
We are using SRM 5.0 integrated with SAP MM backends.
We are frequently facing this problem, when a buyer creates a PO (in SRM) within his/ her Spending (Output) Limit, the PO approval workflow triggers and is not able to find an agent.
Although the workflow should not trigger as the PO value is below spend limit of the buyer......we are not able to understand this behaviour.
In such cases, the buyer is not able to issue the POs, since the POs show 'Awaiting Approval' status.
I can find such POs with SRM transaction SWI2_ADM1, but I can not do anything beyond that. I am not able to Forward or 'Complete Manually' such work-items.
Any idea how this problem can be fixed or if there is any SAP note available for same.......anything??
Has anyone faced this kind of problem before?? Please help.
Thanks,
Ruchika

please check from the workflow log , the workflow which the system is starting.
might be the system is able to start another workflow than the one which you are mentioning
use the transaction swi6 for workflow log , use the purchase order guid

ENABLE SRM WORKFLOW FOR EXTERNAL PURCHASE REQUISITIONS

Hi,
Iu2019m creating a shopping cart using an external approver. We require external requisition to be completed by the purchasibg manager.
The changes were implemented as outlined in the document
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/5082a622-7310-2c10-1a9b-ef31dd69a770
I create the purchase req in the external system and the transfer the requisition to SRM. A shopping cart is then created. This shopping cart goes to the purchasing manager for completion. Upon completion by purchasing manager, a message appears to say 'External requisitions do not require an approval process' and
the workitem remains in their inbox.
This workflow processed correctly for normal shopping carts. I canu2019t understand why it does work for external purchasing requisitions.
thanks
Ann

Hi Any one got answere this issue. I also implemented the steps provided in the document created by Prasannau2019s. The workflow is getting triggered for external requisitions now but when we are changing the PR in ECC and transferring again that time its not gettign triggered neighther its restarting the exisiting approval workflow in process (if any).
Thanks,

SOD Detour in Role Approval Workflow possible?

Hello GRC Experts,
we have implemented an Access Request Approval Workflow with a Detour Rule (GRAC_MSMP_DETOUR_SODVIOL).
The second workflow we are working at is the Role Approval Workflow. Is it possible to use the SOD Detour Rule also in Role Approval Workflow? I didnt find the SOD Detour Rule in the MSMP Role Approval Workflow.
We would like to implement a following Scenario:
if the role contains an SOD the request should take Path 1 and if not Path 2.
Is it in MSMP Standard possible or should we use BRF+ for creating a Detour Rule?
Thanks,
Best Regards
Sabrina

Hi Sabrina,
For Access Request workflow, we generally use GRAC_MSMP_DETOUR_SODVIOL to implement routing rule(based on detour condition - risk found). Purpose of same (if I am not mistaken) is to through the request to another level of approver wherein mitigation monitor agent reviews the mitigation performed by role owner stage and approve/reject the request.
But, when we create a role same is not the condition as we do not mitigate role level risk thus no need to go for mitigation monitor stage. May be you have some business scenario, if you can let us know will be gr8.
For the rule ID, did you try adding the rule ID ?(you may already know, still would like to cross check with you).
GRAC_MSMP_DETOUR_SODVIOL under list of rules for "
Role Approval Workflow" In the screenshot you have shown, just click on ADD feed -
Rule ID -GRAC_MSMP_DETOUR_SODVIOL.
Rule description - same as Access request.
Rule type - Function module based
rule kind - routing rule.
Add this and check if it works and let us know the result too.

Nishant

Customizing PO approval workflow POAPPRV for email subject/body changes

Hi,
The requirement is to modify the email subject/body of the emails sent to the suppliers once PO is approved.
They would also like to remove the
'From/To/Sent/Id' which is displayed as first section in body currently.
I am new to workflow, so could you please guide me in achieving this?
Is workflow customization only option?
Do we have any other way in which the requirement can be accomplished?
Thanks!

>
I would like to know how FYI gets appended before.
in the body before the actual text, From/To/Sent/Id are all displayed. I would like to know where they are fetched from.
I can understand it uses some template for email, but am unable to locate it.
>
The FYI is appended based on the type of notification. Since this message does not require any action from user, Oracle adds FYI.
See http://apps2fusion.com/apps/workflows/327-workflow-notification-template to understand the template.
>
Also can you point me to good references for workflow customization.
>
You can look at
Customizing seeded workflow steps
http://www.workflowfaq.com/
Anil Passi has good tutorials for this http://oracle.anilpassi.com/oracle-workflow-training-lesson-1-2.html
See white paper at http://www.vivekasolutions.com/user_docs/WFCustomizationWP.pdf
>
Because this is the only change that am expected to do in this critical PO workflow. I dont want something else to be affected because of this.
>
As long as you stick to PO approval workflow, you won't affect other areas. If you modify the template (provided you find it), you may affect other areas.

Approver & approval date from Requisition & PO Approval workflow tables

Dear All,
My req is to create a report that calculates the lead time taken by a Purchase Requisition to be converted into a PO and released. In the output they want the APPROVER NAME, DATE APPROVED against the REQUISITION NUMBER (EBAN-BANFN) and also they want APPROVER NAME, DATE APPROVED against the Purchase Order (so all in all 2 fields of approvers & 2 fields of approval dates). But the thing is they want these APPROVER NAME, DATE APPROVED from the Requisition Approval Workflow tables.
Please update the table & fields that will have the Approver and date approved from workflow corresponding to the Purchase Requisition Number and Purchase Order. or What is the link between the "Approver, approval date & Purchase Requisition Number" and "Approver, approval date & Purchase Order".
Thanks in advance. The solution will be rewarded the points.
Warm Regards,
Farooq.

We have HR/Payroll and Purchasing working fine for 6 years with the following schedule settings. 0.1 seems too frequent:
A. Schedule one concurrent request to process deferred activities:
1. Item Type :
2. Min Threshold :
3. Max Threshold :
4. Process Deferred : Yes
5. Process Timeout : No
6. Process Stuck : No
(Once every five minutes)
B. Schedule one concurrent request to process timeout activities:
1. Item Type :
2. Min Threshold :
3. Max Threshold :
4. Process Deferred : No
5. Process Timeout : Yes
6. Process Stuck : No
(Once every six hours)
C. Run for stuck activities periodically
1. Item Type :
2. Min Threshold :
3. Max Threshold :
4. Process Deferred : No
5. Process Timeout : No
6. Process Stuck : Yes
(Once every day)
D. Run forall three activities periodically
1. Item Type :
2. Min Threshold :
3. Max Threshold :
4. Process Deferred : Yes
5. Process Timeout : Yes
6. Process Stuck : Yes
(Once every day)
By the way, we also have Synchronize WF Local Tables run once every 24 hours
Hope this helps.
