Deadline Monitoring for N-Level Approval Workflow WS14000033

Hi,
We want to setup Deadline Monitoring i.e. emails to be sent to approvers (when Shopping Carts remain unapproved in their Inbox past 2 days or so). Does anyone have any configuration/procedure document on how to do this?
Regards,
Ashwani

Hi Imtiaz,
Thanks for your promp reply. Had already checked this but since I am not a WF expert I do not know how to setup a email reminder to be sent to the current approver. The tutorial in your link has a user defined with a email id. We would like the current Approver holding the approval to be sent a reminder email. Any suggestion on how to do this.
Thanks,
Ashwani

  • Steps required for second level approval Workflow

    Hi,
    Can any one explain me step by step procedure  of how to configure 2 level approval process in SRM.I have activated the second level approval for SC.But after  this what i have to do. Where can i set the value conditions in workflow?How system will decide for one level approval it has to go for a person "Y" and for 2nd level approval it has to go to Manager?
    kindly help me out in this
    regards

    I think you have to activate the below workflows in the system which automatically  identifies the number of levels that it should cross.
    WS14000133
    WS10000049
    WS14000134 ---> This Sub workflow determines,  is there any next approver or not?.

  • Select the approval Agent for Modeled Deadline Monitoring for WF WS14000133

    I have setup a deadline monitoring for WF WS14000133 using the modeled approach and added the "Send Mail" Test along with a Loop so that the the appover will get an email every day after three days of not approving a shopping cart.
    I noticed in task "109 Subworkflow n-step over Value" there is a task container element "&APPROVALAGENTS.ACT_AGENT&" which contains the approver. I am tring to put it in a Workflow container element that I created referencing "WFSYST-AGENT". When I try to setup a binding to import the value from the task container to the workflow container I get the following error:
    "Data object 'APPROVALAGENTS' is elementary )component 'ACT_AGENT' does not exist)
    Does anyone know how to fix this or does anyone know another way I can get the approval agent to the WF container so that I can send the email to them in the "send email" step?
    According to SAP this can be done....this is what they say on help.sap.com:
    "Actual agent: Element WIActual_Agent in the task container
    If you want to transfer the actual agent of a work item (available under the element ID WIActual_Agent in the task container) to the workflow container for further use, you define an appropriate element in the workflow container to contain this information.
    You create this element with a reference to the ABAP Dictionary field WFSYST-AGENT."

    hi ,
    the field actual agent gets will filled once the responsible agent completes / performs an action on it. Hence it is suggested to use some method / rule to get the responsible agent and create one local workflow container variable (table) to fill up the agents instead of manipulating the workflow variables directly.
    In this way, you can check if the table of agents and then send accordingly the deadline messages.
    Hope this helps.

  • Activate Deadline Monitoring for Standard Workflow

    Hi Experts,
    I want to Activate Deadline Monitoring for Standard SRM Confirmation Approval Workflow. Is there any way I do this without disturbing the standard workflow? Using Alerts?
    Also pls advice if I can activate the deadline monitoring directly in the standard template without having it copied to a Z/Y wf template?
    Thank you!
    Vj

    Friends,
    I want to set a deadline monitoring for a case when the approver doesnt execute the workitem even after 2days. (so I believe I need to use "Requested Start")?
    Further I understand how this is  done, my question is can we do change it to the standard template or do I need to copy it and then make the changes.
    Also Kindly share some information on using SRM ALERTS for the same functionality to send reminders/alets to approvers on delay of approving task.
    Thank you so much.

  • Project Workflow Extension for Multi level approval

    Hi,
    We have a requirement of 2 or 3 level of approval on Project Workflow for Project Status Change. We are planning to use the Seeded extension provided by Oracle to get the Approver for Project Status Change.
    The extension procedure provided pa_client_extn_project_wf . select_project_approver has only one out parameter that is Approver id. This means it's only possible 1 level of approval.
    Please help me to find out the way how can i make this work for multi level Approval.
    Regards,
    Ram

    Hi Paul,
    Thanks for your suggestion.
    By comments field I'm assuming OfficeTask.Comments field. Problem is, this field is always null. I tried accessing this field in CheckExitCondition activity as well as in OnTaskCompleted but in both the cases, it was null only(I wrote comments while approving
    the task).
    I used a code activity within OnTaskCompleted activity and following code for accessing Comments and Description fields:
    public string officeComments;
            public string officeDescription;
            private void TaskCOmplete(object sender, EventArgs e)
                CodeActivity Sender = (CodeActivity)sender;
                Microsoft.Office.Workflow.Actions.OfficeTask ofctask1 = ((CompositeActivity)Sender.Parent).Parent as Microsoft.Office.Workflow.Actions.OfficeTask;
                officeComments = ofctask1.Comments;
                officeDescription = ofctask1.Description;          
    Please tell me if I'm doing anything wrong here, I'm very new to Workflows. Also, do I need to set any specific property of officeTask for retriving comments?
    Thank you

  • ShoppingCart ProcessControlledWorkflow SRM 7.0 -BC set for N-level approval

    Hi experts,
    Which BC set I should activate for Shopping cart N-level approval Work Flow.?
    How to deactivate existing Active BC set in the system?
    Thanks

    Hello,
    Activation of BC set is to facilitate the faster & easier configuration. You have two options :
    1. Activation of new BC set will make the necessary changes. e.g if you have activated SC auto approval, run the BC set for 1 level approval, system will make all the changes required.
    2. Manually change the configuration based on your requirement. SRM - SRM Server - Cross Application Basic Setting - Business Workflow.
    BC sets are generic & might not fulfill all of your requirements. If your requirement is n -level approval, better to build your own expressions & process schema & levels. Take the reference of SAP delivered process levels.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks

  • 2 level approval workflow using spd 2010

    Hi,
    I have to create 3 level approval workflow using sPD 2010, 
    1) User raises request --> Email goes to approver1 & Task assigned to approver1 --> If approver1 approves Task should be assigned to approver 2--> If  approver2 approves--> Task should be assigned to approver3 & Email Notification-->
    If approver3 approves workflow should complete & email goes to request initiator.
    Could you please let me know the exact steps

    Hi ppatil,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to create a workflow to assign tasks to different levels people in SharePoint 2010 Designer.
    To achieve it, I suggest you use the built-in approval workflow 2010 template.
    You can do as the followings:
    Open the library
    Click Library-> Settings->Workflow Settings->Add a workflow
    Select the ‘Approval-SharePoint 2010’ template, and type a name for this workflow
    Select the start options, and click Next
    For the Approvers, type your approvers as the order approver1, approvaer2, approver3, and the Order is ‘One at a time(serial)’
    Select ‘End on First Rejection’
    Click Save
    Then if you start the workflow, it can be workflow as your description.
    I hope this helps.
    Thanks,

  • 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,

  • Purchase Order Workflow message for previous level approver

    Hi folks!!
    We are implementing PO workflow through which we want to notify the next level releaser as well as we also want to notify the previous levels releaser as well as Purchase requisition creator (if PR has been used as reference document to create PO).
    I have already successfully implemented the workflow, in which next level of approver gets the notification in his/her SAP Business Workplace as soon as the PO gets approved by the previous level.
    But my requirement is on final approval of PO, notification should also send back to the previous levels approver of PO and Requisition creator.How can I achieve it, please help.
    Best regards

    Hi,
    A check can be made during final level of approval for which e-mail will get triggered to the previous approver and the requisitioner. you would need to provide a Logic to your developer with the message body whihc will trigger an e-mail during final approver and mail recipients will be the previous approver and the Requisitioner which can be picked from Line item in Purchase Order.

  • Workflow Configuration for 5-Level Approver

    Dear Experts,
                         We are using and Extended Classic Scenario in which we have 5-Level approver of the Shopping cart. The below is the funcational logic which i need to configure.
    Logic:
    Find the Requestor’s manager by using the SLAPPROVER in the workflow container
    Now run this logic for the SLAPPROVER such as.
    Initially the SLAPPROVER = Requestor’s SLAPPROVER
    IF the SLAPPROVER spending limit is greater or equal to the cart total
    value THEN record SLAPPROVER as the final level approver and end approval chain (<b>How do i Record the SLAPPROVER as a final level</b>)
    ELSE the SLAPPROVER spending limit is less then the cart total value
    Then record SLAPPROVER as level N approver and set SLAPPROVER = to level N approver’s SLAPPROVER
    Now repeate the logic above until an approver is found with dollar limit greater or equal to cart total value.
    The end result will be a chain of approvers with a max of 5 levels because the fifth level will contain a large dollar value such as 99999999 to be the last approver. This way if anything exceeds Jim Orr’s level then it will be approved outside of the system and then documented and Jim’s level will approve it in the system.
    Now the chain of approvers will exist. The first level will have to approve it before its goes to the next level. If a approver rejects the cart then no work items will be sent to the levels above. All levels must approve for the cart to be approved.
    Eample:
    User A orders a cart with value $1500
    •     SLAPPROVER = Requestor’s SLAPPROVER = Manager A
    •     Manager A spend limit (500) less than cart total (1500)
    •     Record Manager A as level 1 approver
    •     Find Manager A’s SLAPPROVER = Manager B
    •     Set SLAPPROVER = Level 1 SLAPPROVER = Manager B
    •     Manager B spend limit (1000) less than cart total (1500)
    •     Record Manager B as level 2 approver
    •     Find Manager B’s SLAPPROVER = Manager C
    •     Set SLAPPROVER = Level 2 SLAPPROVER = Manager C
    •     Manager C spend limit (9999) greater than cart total (1500)
    •     Manager C is final approver in the approval chain is single level
    •     The chain now exist:
         Manager A -> Manager B -> Manager C
    Can this be done through the configuration in the SWB_PROCURMENT transaction or i need to have any development.
    If its the case of Development, Please advice me the flow in which i need to go about.
    Thanks in Advance,
    Mohit.

    You could look to use the n-step dynamic spend limit approver workflow (WS14000109) to do this.
    You could also implement badi BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI for workflow WS14000133.
    Have a look at the following link to see if this is what you are looking for.

  • 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.

  • Possible loop deadline monitoring for a period of time?

    Hi All,
    Here is our scenario.. We have a task sent to the managers inbox with deadline monitoring on it.  If the manager does not action this task, we set this task to obsolete and then we want to send a reminder email every day until the manager performs the required action.
    So the problem.. originally this email was to be a task but the loop would not work with the task as it's waiting on action from the user.  We changed this task to an email and it looped as expected however the only way I could think to put a wait for a period of time before another email is sent is by actually counting down the time in a method.
    However, the problem with this is that wf-batch is locking the worklfow so it can never complete, even if the event to complete the workflow is triggered.  wf-batch has it locked so the workflow can never complete, so it loops infinitely.
    So my question.. is it possible to repeatedly send notifications to a manager at specifically defined time intervals without locking the workflow?
    Below is how the workflow currently looks:
    Any guidance on this would be most gratefully received!
    Thanks in advance,
    Liz.

    Hi Liz
    in your wait step, do not count down the time.
    Instead keep the method as a dummy method with no code.
    In the wait step, use the deadline monitoring - Requested Start - set it to current date + 1 day
    The step will start 1 day after 'today' , execute nothing in Dummy method and then go on to the mail step
    I am sure that the deadline monitoring job is running because "Latest End" of the first task is executed in your system. So the same job will take care of Requested Start of the wait step.

    Modak
