Customize Planning Approval

Hello,
Planning version 11.1.2.1
I have a specific requirement from the users (basically reviewers) to view data before they can approve/reject or promote the unit on the same screen. They require a web form displaying summary data with 3 buttons Approve, Reject, Promote to handle Approvals.
I had tried creating a web form and updated required values in the Planning data base directly. I can see the updates after sometime say 15-20 mins and not immediately. It seems Planning keeps the Approval data in memory and synchronize it time-on-time with database.
Could you experts provide your advice as how do I solve this requirement?
Thank you

  • Compensation Planning/Approval

    Hi,
    We are implementing a Compensation Planning/Approval on ERP 2005. We need to customize the standard functionality as per our requirements. We need to remove some fields from standard view and add custom fields.We have created some custom infotypes and function modules for the same. We have configured columns, column groups, dataviews etc..How do I link custom function module with columns of OADP to fetch data or save data to R/3?
    Appreciate your help
    Thanks,
    Kathy

    The OADP simply provides you with views of the org. data based on your config. So I am not sure what you mean by "save data to R/3"....the OADP does not do that. Your possibilities are two-fold...either the data selection side or the data display side.
    For data selection....
    In configuration for the "Define Rules for Object Selection" , you can configure it to use a function module instead of an evaluation path....per docs:
    =======================================================
    Function Module for Object Selection
    Use
    To enable the Object and Data Provider to display an organizational structure view, it must first determine the relevant objects. Therefore, you must define an object selection that is composed of object selection rules or a class for an object search. An object selection rule comprises an evaluation path together with an evaluation depth or a function module for determining objects.
    In this field, you store the name of the function module that can be used as opposed to the evaluation path to determine the relevant objects.
    =======================================================
    If it is not necessarily the data that is pulled but a specific column you want to change to display other data based on your pulled data, you can also use a custom FM at that point as well. In the "Define Columns" configuration, you have the option for :
    =======================================================
    Define Columns
    Use
    In this IMG activity, you create columns. In these columns, the user can display additional information about the objects you specified for the defined object selections.
    If the column content is to be determined in the backend system, enter a function module that is to get the column content.
    To create a function module of your own, use the function module HRWPC_CB_CONTENT in the standard system as a template. You must use this as a template since your function module must have the same interface as the function module in the standard system.
    If you want to reuse a function module that you have created for the Column Framework of the Personnel Management component, enter FM from Column Framework in this field.
    You can find the relevant function modules in Customizing for Personnel Management under Global Settings in Personnel Management -> Column Framework -> Define Your Own Columns/Change Column Group Text -> Define Your Own Column ->Column Group Definition (view T77COL).
    ========================================================
    Hope this helps!

  • Customize PO Approval Notification OA page

    Hi

    Want to add Cost center, Promised date columns to this table.
    Please let me know how to do it.
    Thanks

    Find the PO OAF embedded region in the notification. Then you need to personalize that region and add your required columns assuming the attached VO has those values. Otherwise you might have to do VO substitution also.

  • Issue with Planning/ Approval screen in MSS and General Information.

    Hello Guru's,
    I have 2 req's
    1. In General Information of MSS we have Employee Search iView, in the dropdown we have different options like direct reports, employees by org unit, employees by org. tree, now the req. is:
    in employees by org. tree we want to have the tree structure collapsed (not expanded).
    for ex: root                    instead want to have  root
                 child1
                 child2
    I couldn't see any DC for employee search in NWDS. guide me to the proper DC.
    2. In Compensation Planning/ Approval screen we have included a new iView and the problem is that on the when employee is selected it is populating the first time and when we select the new employee the iView is not getting refreshed.
    for ex.
    I selected a employee the first time the iview is getting populated and again from the list when I select a new employee the iview is not populated for the new person selected. our observation the view is not getting refreshed and it is hitting the FM in the backend system when debugging we see the pernr is not getting passed properly.
    fyi: there are some of the views which we are not using so in that we created the new view and made it the default view in Window. because of that we haven't created a new DC in MSS.
    please help me out in these 2 issues.
    points will be awarded for helpful answers.
    Thanks in advance for your time.
    Regards,
    Pramod

    My Mistake I need to write the code in WdDoModifyView, instead I worte the whole code in WdDoInit.
    for having the tree collapsed:
    setNavigationObjectTreeExpandLevel(0);
    it will solve the problem.
    Kind Regards,
    Pramod

  • Workflow for marketing plan approval

    Hello everyone,
    Does anyone know if there is a standard workflow for approval of marketing PLANS (I don´t mean campaigns)??
    Best regards,
    Efrain

    Hi Jaya,
    I haven't used this particular workflow but hopefully the following is of use:
    - Email to initiator- the likely explanation is that the workflow has not identifed the recipient's email address. Follow steps 4 & 5 from the Blog and this should resolve the issue.
    - Cancelled Event - The wait step listens out for the triggering of the corresponding event on the BOR object.
          i.e. for this workflow wait step 164 is listening out for CANCELLED to be raised on that particular instance of BUS2010020.
          If this is triggered that branch of the fork will be triggered.
    - Locked/Rejected - There is no step (that I can see) that notifies the initiator that the campaign has been locked.
      However you can add your own Send Mail step(s). An alternative approach would be to have additional branches that listen for the  BUS2010020.locked and the rejected events and then have your Send Mail steps, however this is probably overcomplicating the solution.
    - Schedule condition and start condition - Again I haven't used campaigns yet but in the Blog they are using the Marketing Project Campaign BOR Object status profile and status table  - look at object BUS2010020 in SWO1.
    I hope that this is of use.
    Best Regards,
    Trevor

  • MSS---Compensation----Review Planning Approval Status Problem

    Hi All,
    I configured MSS Compensation Review Planning successfully, i was able to see my reporting structre in Review Planning iView properly.
    I am having my organizational structure with five level approvals.

  • Customize approval process on transaction and receipt in Oracle AR

    Dear all,
    Is there anyone ever customize an approval function on AR transaction and AR receipt process? Can you share how you can achieve the customization, esp on the receipt process?
    HY

    Hi,
    I feel there is one workaround for this issue, but evaluate this as per your requirement.
    Enable Journal approval for Receivables Journal Source and periodically post the Journal entries of Receivables to General Ledger.
    Ask the approver to approve the receipts in General Ledger. (Using drilldown functionality if required).
    If there is any mistake the approver can always ask for reversal of Original receipt and direct the user to enter new one.
    Only drawback is Sales Invoices should also be approved. These should be approved blindly.

  • Customize SP2010 OOTB approval workflow using SP designer

    Hi,
    Even though it has been long time i raised the following question:
    http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/1efa6726-5790-4930-9520-4ef6398c503c/customize-ootb-approval-workflow-using-spd-2010?forum=sharepointcustomizationprevious
    but i never created the workflow using the proposed solution until now. After doing some testing i can verify the proposed solution doesn't work for the following reason:
    1.If i use 'user who created current item' and at the time of submitting the workflow add a different user email address in the 'Approver' field. It doesn't assign task to the user who has been manually added into approver field. It would still assign the
    task to the user who created the current item which is incorrect.
    2.If i use 'user who created current item' and a user who created the page has moved from his/her role, when submitting the workflow manually, the system will assign the task to the user who created the original item not the one who has just modified the
    item
    Ideally we would like to add the 'Approver' when submitting the workflow manually. Is there any other way of doing this? or i have tried the following:
    Copy default approval workflow -> Edit Workflow -> Initiation Form Parameters -> Modify Approvers -> Change 'Collect from parameter during:' to Initiation (starting the workflow) -> Next -> Finish -> OK -> Save -> Publish
    This lets you add the approver and would assign the task to the correct user. Is this a correct approach?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Regards,
    Kash

    By collecting the values during initiation, you would be able to make it work correctly.  The only down side to this approach is that there are no default values, but that's a small price to pay for a working process.
    If you tested this and it works correctly, I would say that you have a good solution without having to dive too deep into custom code.
    I trust that answers your question...
    Thanks

  • Customize SharePoint 2010 Approval without SPD

    hello,
    i try to customize an approval workflow. I used the workflow template " Approval - SharePoint 2010". Here, I have got two approvers. At the moment, both approvers have to approve a new task, but it would be enough if just one of the approvers gave
    an approve. It would be double work for the approvers. My question is: Can i customize this approval workflow without using sharepoint designer?
    Thanks!

    You cannot customize OOB workflow through SharePoint UI.
    You will have to use Designer or Visual Studio for same.

  • Adding more info to PO Approval WF Notification

    I’m a newbie at workflow and I have a requirement to customize PO Approval workflow Notification this means Notification will have more information than Oracle seeded notification information, by adding additional information to the notification email that is sent out (such as freight terms etc.).
    Having reviewed most of the workflow processes and corresponding packages, I’m unsure in which of the WF process/pkg to implement the change and what steps to follow in order to add /implement it accordingly.
    Any guidelines on what steps to follow is much appreciated in advance.
    thanks
    dbarookie

    I believe this is more of a PO question than WF question. PO uses Oracle workflow to route documents for approvals and performs various business transaction to transform the document. Following are some of the ways notification content is generated in workflow.
    1. Boilerplate text and message attribute tokens.
    The notification content is generally standard with some variable content. Tokens are used for the variable content alone whereas rest of the content is typed into the message body when designing the workflow.
    2. Document Type message attribute
    The notification content could change drastically based on various business scenarios and recipient of the notification. For such a situation the complete content is being generated using a PLSQL Document Message attribute. The notification body at design time would look like &MESSAGE_BODY which is related to a PLSQL procedure that will generate the complete message.
    Now, coming to the PO workflow scenario, the PO approval notifications are generated using a PLSQL Document API within PO_EMAIL_GENERATE package. There are procedures GENERATE_HEADER, GENERATE_HTML that generates the content. You may want to look at these procedures to customize.
    Hope this helps
    Thanks.
