Dead Line Monitoring for Shopping cart approval(SRM 7.0 Process controlled)

Hi Friends,
I am using SRM 7.0 Process controlled Workflow. I need to do below.
Dead Line Monitoring details are given below.
If the approval workitem is not addressed in 3 business days by Approver, the approver would get reminder email notification. If approval Workitem is not addressed in 5 business days by the approver, then an email notification is sent to requester,approver and the workflow administrator.
How to obtain this. Please help me.
Thanks,
Balaji.T.

Hi Masa,
Thank you for your input.
You mean, shall we use BADI BBP_ALERTING for deadline monitoring.?
Infact, i have used
SRM Server->Cross-Application Basic Settings=>Event and Event Schema for Alert Management->Define Event Schema
In that i specified
WF_COMPL_LATEST_END->Message(low)->APPROVAL_DEADL_NOTIFIC_NEW : 24 hours.
But it is not triggering for dead line Monitoring(24 hours Later).
If any body faces this same problem, Please let me know.
Thanks,
Balaji.T.

Deadline monitoring for Shopping Cart

Hi Experts,
I am working on SRM 7.0 process controlled workflows.
Activated the deadline monitoring for shopping cart but I am getting the below error:
Work item 000000073752: Object /SAPSRM/CL_WF_EVENT_ADAPTER method TRIGGER_EVENT cannot be execute
Please help to solve this.
Thanks,
Sangeeta

Hello,
To find the cause you will need to debug:
For testing you can call the method
/SAPSRM/CL_WF_EVENT_ADAPTER -> TRIGGER_EVENT
Take the following parameters from the document wfl log:
IV_DOCUMENT_GUID IV_DOCUMENT_GUID
IV_DOCUMENT_TYPE IV_DOCUMENT_TYPE
IV_EVENT IV_EVENT
IV_EVENT_SUB_CATEGORY
IV_WORKITEM_ID
IV_DOCUMENT_ID
Before to start debugging, set a beark point in CL_BBP_MESSAGE_CREATE -> execute
Here you can find why the alert method is not been able to be executed.
Probably you are passing some wrong parameter.. Do you use Badis BBP_OUTPUT_CHANGE_SF or BBP_ALERT.. try to deactivate these Badis and retest.
Thanks,
Melina

Accept / Rejection Reasons for Shopping Cart Approval

Hi experts!
Our customer would like to have the following functionality.
During approval workflow the user will either Accept or Reject the shopping cart and at the same time he must enter a reason for approval / rejection from a list with fixed texts / values.
I didn't find any documentation about rejection reasons during approval of shopping cart. Has anybody of you ever seen this or realized anything like that?
If SAP Standard doesn't offer anything suitable we might have to modify the approver screen or develop a new screen.
Any helpful answer would be much appreciated.
Best regards,
Corinne

Hi
Please try this ->
Re: Make mandatory field-Reason for rejection notes-SC approval screen
Reason for Return Delivery missing
Re: Text Types Issue on Bid/Quote
Temporary GUID coming from Sourcing in Doc change badi
Reason for Return Delivery
inactive approval and reject buttons on shopping cart approval screen
Else Use BBP_DOC_CHECK_BADI
SC header level Reject- Display error message
Hope this will help. Do let me know.

FM for Shopping Cart Approve/Reject with comments

Hi,
I am looking for a FM for Approve/Reject a shopping cart/Work item ID with writing comments on Approve/Reject.
Thanks,
Fract

Hi Fract,
Yuo can change the status of shopping cart by using FM:
BBP_PD_SC_STATUS_CHANGE_WF
but adding commnets is not possible here.
You can try to copy this FM and then modify the parameters to add comments though.

Process Controlled Workflow - 1-step approval for shopping cart approval

Hi,
I have configured a one-level approval for SC (Process Controlled Workflow):
Object Type: BUS2121
Additional 1 level under schema: 3C_SC_600_000 (the last level is the automatic approval)
Level Type: Approval with completion
Eval ID: 0EV_SC_SL1
RR Name: RR_SPENDING_LIMIT_APPROVER
RR Param: USTONY.Y (I hardcoded it using my user ID, for the moment)
Task ID: 40007953 (I have checked, it's generalized as well)
Decision Type: Item-based decision for entire document
For PPOMA_BBP:
Under my org unit (Position):
Approval Limit: 1000
Output Limit: 1000
I didn't do any BADI implementations yet.
During creation of SC by other user, before "Order" the SC, the approval preview can show correctly that the Processor is as indicated in the config.
Once the SC is ordered, the whole step is gone and the event linkage becoming delinked (because there is error, and according to the config in SWEQADM).
However, I cannot find the workitem (no workitem generated) and SLG1 does not give any clue whatsoever.
I tried debugging method APPROVAL_LIMIT, and it seems fine as well.
Please help, what did I do wrong here?
Thanks,
Tony Y

Hi Sahil,
I even changed to first process level to:
Level Type: Approval
Eval ID: 0EV000
RR Name: RR_MANAGER
RR Param: (Blank)
Task ID: 40007953 (I have checked, it's generalized as well)
Decision Type: Decision for entire document
Under PPOMA_BBP:
I made myself as a head of the org unit with the role manager.
The requester is "Exclude" the role manager.
The agent can be determined now.
But the workitem ID is still cannot be generated. It's always no workitem generated.
Please everyone, any help?
Thanks in advance,
Tony

Wrong approver for shopping cart

Hi Friends,
I've found something very strange in my SRM system for Shopping cart approveal process.
One of my SC is waiting for approaval by a approver who is assigned to different plant and he has got nothing to do with this SC.
The SC's basic data contains the responsibility of some other LPR group for which approver is different and he is the actual approver of this SC.
Can you guys provide some link where i can find documents related to approval process in detail and also the organisation structure material as i am new to SRM..? after providing the solution for above querry...
Thanks in advance
ss

Hi Volkoale,
I am also facing the same issue. If you have resolved it kindly post your approach as it will be helpful to the community.
In my case, there is one cutomized table that contains list of approvers, but I am yet to debug and find the source of data for this table. Your reply will be rewarded.
Cheers,

Process Controlled WF for Shopping Cart

Hi,
We have implemented process controlled workflow for shopping cart approval.
1. Created a bespoke schema for the approval process
2. Defined 5 process levels in the schema
3. changed the BRF event at the schema evaluation level. It now
contains a constant with the name of new schema create in step 1.
4. Decision set used is item based approval for partial documents (Type 4)
4. The first process level is get the technical approval from bespoke
table based on material group. For that we have first created a
Responsibility Resolver Name - ZTECHNICAL_APPROVER.
We have implemented the BADI - /SAPSRM/BD_WF_RESP_RESOLVER. Assigned
the filter as BUS2121 and ZTECHNICAL_APPROVER.
5. Now we have placed the external debugger in BADi. when we create
the shopping cart the flow doesn't stop at the break point. The item
reaches to the last step of Automatic approval (Rejected).
6. We think that schema is getting evaluated, however the process
level is not getting called.
7. Before we created schema, all the carts wer getting "Approved" by
automatic step. In our schema the automatic step is "Rejected", hence
the carts are getting rejected.
Could you please let me know what could be reason for BADI
implementation not being called or is there any config step which we
are missing?

Hi,
I think your process level evaluation id is not true, that is the reason system skips the process level.. Can you check your evaluation event-expression code. What do you see in SLG1? For testing purpose change the evaluation id to 0EV000 and check. Make Sure you debug through the user(requester) that you are creating the SC. Please test and let me know...

New document type for shopping cart /PO

Hi Gurus,
I have created a new transaction type ZSHC for Shopping carts in SRM. I have given it a new number range.
while creating a shopping cart , how do i ensure that my shopping carts get created with this transaction type?
is there any attribute which controls this ?
Regards,
Mangesh

Thanks Shrini for your response.
BADI "BBP_CREATE_BE_PO_NEW" does not exist in SRM 4.0. The corresponds BADI in SRM 4.0 is "BBP_CREATE_PO_BACK".
The documentation of this BADI says that it can be used to change all data TRANSFERRED TO THE BACKEND SYSTEM to create a purchase order.
I would want the document type to be selected when the PO is created in SRM and not when SRM transfers the PO to the backend. Because in that case I fear that SRM can have one doucment type and R/3 would end up having different document type for same PO.
I will activate the BADI and keep the thread posted.
Thanks
Venkatesh

Shopping Cart Approval & PO generation

Hi All,
I am using N step BADI for Shopping Cart approval process. Here can we generate the PO even when the Shopping Cart is awaiting Approval.
Please let me know how POs can be created without any approval necessary?
This is Urgent!!!
Thanks,
San

Hi,
Yes this needs to be active.
This is the job which updates the item overview status from awaiting approval to approved.
We had a similar issue for one step workflow for SC where becos of this the SC's were showing awaiting approval though the approver activity is completed.
Refer OSS note 790027 which says that after all configs the status is updated by background jobs. This is the one which is explained in it.
Go to SWU3 and verify all green tick marks "Schedule background job for event queue" is the with this job. Execute it and you can display the job from here.

Sridhar.

SRM 7 - defaulting values for multiple line items on shopping cart

Hi,
We are using SRM 7 - Employee self service - Punch out catalogues and describe requirements.
Our scenario is this:
- User is responsible for creating shopping carts for numerous cost centres/other users
- Shopping cart will have multiple line items (but the cost centre/other user will be same for all line items)
- Is it possible to define in a shopping cart that all line items will have a specific value? E.g. all line items will be assigned to a specific cost centre?
I know about assigning dedault values in PPOMA_BBP - but our situation is where user does not want to use this default value this time, but another value
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Thanks Alex for quick reply
To confirm, did you use the BBP_DOC_CHECK_BADI (in conjunction with the BBP_ITEM_CHECK_BADI) to look at different cost centres on the multiple lines on the shopping cart?
Also - did you use the same BADI to give user opportunity to enter a default cost centre that is then automatically applied to all line items on the cart?
Thanks
Azam

Offline approval for line item based Shopping carts

Hi ,
We are planning to use offline approval and line item based approval (item based approval workflow) for shopping carts.
For e.g. 10 line items in a cart can have 10 different cost centres, and a line each need to go to respective cost centre managers for approval.
have few clarifications:
1. Can offline approval be used for item based shopping cart approval workflow?
2. Can different line items be sent by mail to different mail boxes?
3. Will 1 manager see all the 10 line items OR only the 1 line item for which he is responsible?
4. If he will get only line for which he is responsible , and once he clicks on approve , will this approval apply to his line item only , OR it will apply to all the 10 line items ?
Rgds
Sumendra

Hi Sumedra,
Which workflow are you using - application or process contrlled workflow?
Assuming you are using process-controlled workflow - I will answer following questions -
1. Can offline approval be used for item based shopping cart approval workflow?
- Yes, it can be used !
2. Can different line items be sent by mail to different mail boxes?
Yes
3. Will 1 manager see all the 10 line items OR only the 1 line item for which he is responsible?
1 manager can 'see' all the items but he can only approve or reject the item that he is suppose to act on. All other item will be grayed out. However, this behaviour is configuarable !
4. If he will get only line for which he is responsible , and once he clicks on approve , will this approval apply to his line item only , OR it will apply to all the 10 line items ?
- see above

Shopping Cart approval process in SRM using Black Berry

Hi,
I am very new to SRM. Here the user wants the whole approval/rejection process of shopping cart should be done via the Black Berry.
When a shopping cart is created in SRM then automatically a mail should appear in this mail box(outlook or lotus) as well as in the black berry mail box, so from black berry the user will accept/reject the shopping cart.
What workflow should be used? for mailing to outlook as well as in the blackberry whether we should implement any BAdI and also for integrating SRM & black berry whether we require any plug-in or configuration to be done..
Please do the needful..
Thanks and Regards,
Chandra Sekhar

Hi,
pl. read this:
Mobile Enterprise Buyer
Use
Users can log on to the Enterprise Buyer system using a WAP-enabled cellular phone or any other WAP-enabled front end. This allows them to perform many procurement tasks completely independently of any docking station. These mobile applications are part of the standard system setup for Enterprise Buyer.
Managers can approve shopping carts while on business trips far away from the office.
The start URL for the mobile scenarios is:
http://.:/scripts/wgate/wapbbpstart/!?~language=
where <language> = de or <language> = en, for example.
The initial screen is displayed in the relevant language.
Integration
You can either use your own WAP gateway or you can use a WAP gateway service from a telecommunications provider. If you have your own gateway, you can position it behind your firewall. This means that communication is via a dialup line as far as the WAP gateway, that is, a secure connection going behind the firewall. Beyond this point, communication is via HTTP. If you are using a WAP gateway service, the dialup line stops outside your firewall with the less secure HTTP communication starting outside the firewall.
The graphic shows a standard configuration with a WAP gateway located behind the firewall.
Prerequisites
You require the following:
WAP-enabled mobile device
WAP gateway
WML-enabled catalog that supports OCI
You have configured your Web server to handle the MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) types required for WAP. These are as follows:
File extension
MIME type
Wml
text/vnd.wap.wml
Wmlc
Application/vnd.wap.wmlc
Wmls
text/vnd.wap.wmlscript
Wmlsc
Application/vnd.wap.wmlscriptc
Wbmp
image/vnd.wap.wbmp
If you have your own Web server, you define the MIME types using the Web server's administration tools. In Microsoft IIS, you have to enter the types on the Properties page of your site on the tab card HTTP Headers. If you are not using your own Web server, inform the administrator or provider running the Web server.
Features
The following functions are available:
Create new shopping cart
Users can:
Select catalogs using input help
View catalogs (by product group)
Search for products in catalogs (full text)
Display item details
Add items to shopping carts
Delete items from shopping carts
Change item quantities
Delete shopping carts
Order shopping carts
When a shopping cart is ordered, an order confirmation is displayed giving the shopping cart name and the total value of the shopping cart.
Status check
Users can:
Display overview of shopping carts (shopping cart name and status)
Display header data for shopping carts (for example, shopping cart name and date of last change)
Inbox
Users can:
Display overview of work items (only shopping cart approval) and messages
Display detail view of messages (sender and full short text)
Display detail view of work items (full short text only)
Managers can approve or reject shopping carts
Managers can only approve or reject complete shopping carts. Approval and rejection at item level is not possible.
Reporting
Managers can display the most recent purchase orders created for their cost center(s).

N - Step BADI Approval Flow - Reminders & Dead Line monitoring

Hi,
I am on SRM 5.0 and we are using N-step BADI workflow for Shopping cart. We have coded the logic to pull the approvers and we got additional requirement of sending reminders to the approvers multiple time for example: 1st reminder on 3rd day and second reminder on 7th day and finally on 10th day the Shopping Cart should be moved to next level of approval.
So here there are 2 things that I need to achieve
1. Sending multiple reminders to approver on different days. 3rd day, 6th day etc..
2. Moving the Shopping Cart to next Approval Level if the existing approver has not approved it in specific duration of time.
Your inputs of achieving my requirements would be of more help.
Regards,
Satya

Hi Satya,
Workflow functionality Deadline Monitoring would be useful to you in such a case.
You can add a 'Requested End' condition to the workitem you need to monitor.
When the deadline is reached you can perform the desired operation. I your case you need repeated reminders. For this in the requested end branch, add a Loop step and send reminder mails as desired. Add a terminating condition for loop to say 10 days to stop sending reminders there after.
I had a similar requirement and this approach worked for me.
Hope thie helps!

Saumya
