Disable Status Manager Approval

I Have the Task Status Manager Approval set to disabled but the person who published the project is seeing task approvals in the Approval Center.  Is this the designed behavior?
The behavior I want is when someone submits their timesheet, I want it to go straight to the timesheet manager for approval.

John --
The flaw in your assumption about Project Server 2013 is that people can fill in Timesheets about task work, and then NOT have the task work update the relevant project.  The Project Server 2013 system is programmed to do the exact opposite of what
you want.  When a team member fills out and submits a timesheet containing task progress, the system automatically sends an approval update request to the project manager.  The project manager can see these pending approvals in the Approval Center
page in PWA, where he/she can approve or reject the task updates.  Once the task updates are approved, the system pushes the task update data into the project.
The only way to avoid this behavior is to capture top-level data in timesheets from your team members.  By doing this, your team members can enter hours worked on the project as a whole, but not enter progress against individual tasks.
Hope this helps.

  • AP completes audit before status is 'Manager Approved'

    Hi,
    This is regarding the sr 3-3926612411.
    Product version is 11.5.10.2
    Issue
    ===
    Customer wants to know is there any way to prevent AP to complete audit if the report status of the expense report is not 'manager approved'?
    The expense report was audited for the first time on May 3 and the expense report was approved by 2 more managers after that and then re-audited again on June 8. However the report was never imported into AP, and we asked the preparer to withdraw and resubmit for approval and the whole approval process has to re-run again and a lot of time is being delayed on the payment to the requestor. It appears that because AP completes audit before manager approval it does not complete the flow properly into AP
    Please advice!!

  • ECM EHP4 - status of IT759 not updated when manager approves

    Hi, we are implementating ECM on EHP4 and are having issues in the planning overview iview.  when a planning manager approves an org unit, the status of IT759 for the employees it not being updated from submitted to approved.  I have checked the user interface config and we have the tick box checked for allow approval process. 
    Also, once the org unit is in approved status, we cannot reapprove.  I have tried using PECM_ADJUST_0759 - Adjust Compensation Process Records , to reopen the approved org unit and reinitialise but this does not work.
    does anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks Tanya

    Hi Tanya,
    Use PECM_CHANGE_STATUS to reset the 0759 records from Approved or Submitted back to In Process.  Or the other way around.  Very useful transaction. 
    As to your first question, from your description you are having the planning manager Approve the proposed pay changes.  Normalthe planning manager will Submit and then a higher level manager will Approve or Reject.  We used a separate area for the Planning vs. the Approval/Reject step.  Only proposals in Submitted status are available for Approval/Rejection.
    We are removing that process this year as we had the same problem of always resetting.  So we just allow the adjustments to remain In Process throughout the review period.  Then use PECM_CHANGE_STATUS to move to Submitted, Approved and Activated.

  • OID resource goes to Disabled Status after running the post process event handler

    Hi,
    We have an event handler on post update operation. The event handler using the user manager API to do some modification. We are using the "Lock()" function of User Manager API to lock the user based on attribute value. After running the event handler though the user gets locked as expected, it also disables the OID resource after that. We have other resources along with OID but they are not affected with event handler. Only the OID user is triggering the disable operation on locking the user on event handler. We have used the OID 11g Connector for implementation.
    If you manually lock the user in user interface it's not going to disable status.
    How we can stop to disable the OID User Account.
    Thanks

    No.If you lock the user in Console it's not going disable status.
    Thanks

  • Import invoice with status as Approval not Required

    Hi All,
    Can any one give the way to import an invoice with payables open interface import status as Approval not required.
    Thank you in advance.

    midimidi,
    > So to be clear...if the AS is on the main timeline,
    import statements
    > are not needed, and if the AS is external and imported,
    import
    > statements are needed.
    That's a general rule of thumb, but not 100% applicable.
    > Are there any other exceptions to that, or does that go
    for all AS3
    > classes?
    There are exceptions, and the easiest way to find them is to
    leave out
    your import statements and plug away ... sooner or later,
    you'll get a
    compiler error, and then you'll know. :)
    >> It did strike me *** odd though, an imported .as
    file uses the same
    >> publish settings as code on the timeline. So why
    treat them differently?
    FLA files have publish settings, but AS files don't. They're
    just text
    files. I hear what you're saying ... they end up getting
    compiled along
    with / into the some FLA anyway -- and that FLA does have
    classpaths
    listed -- but those same AS files might be compiled in Flex
    Builder 2 or
    some 3rd party compiler. It would probably make good sense to
    require the
    import statement for inline FLA code, but not everyone is a
    hardcore
    programmer, and Adobe knows it. Nothing is *hurt* by using
    import in FLAs,
    but for folks who just want to do light programming, the
    convenience of not
    having to use it is nice.

  • PO with status "Deleted" in SRM and status "Awaiting Approval" in BW

    Hi,
    Report Purchase Order status ( 0BBP_PO_Q007) on ODS 0BBP_PO shows status "Awaiting Approval" for Purchase Orders that have status "Deleted" in the SRM source system.
    Any idea about an appropriate OSS note or other work around solution?
    Thanks in advance for your replies.

    1) The PO data can be extracted from SRM or R/3 . But the advantage of extracting data from R/3 is that you have lot many other data while compared to SRM system . In case u are having SRM and Sap R/3 or ECC as your backend system , it is always better to  extract PO data from R/3 or ECC. In case your backend system is going to be other than SAP system , probably we can think of extracting data from SRM.
    2) GR and invoice data always have to be pulled from R/3 system
    3) Shopping cat details exist only in SRM and the details has to be extracted only from SRM .
    Suggest to extract 1) shopping cart from SRM  2) PO,GR and Invoice from SAP R/3 or ECC.
    Hope above clarifies your questions

  • Project Server 2010 - Change Status Manager

    End Goal: We would like to perform this change via SQL statement - which I believe I have  I feel like I am missing something and not sure what it is.
    Background:  We migrated from a different product to Project Server 2010, while our team members were assisting users to move their projects from the old application to Project 2010 they did not realize their names would appear as status
    managers.
    The quick solution would be to tell the owners of the projects to change the information themselves (republish or go in themselves and change every line); however we feel this can be cumbersome and too much work due to having hundreds of projects and there
    are thousands of fields that need to be modified.  I can quickly accomplish what I want with an UPDATE command and be done with it (no user involvement). 
    What I am running into in my test environment is that I can modify the fields (query below) to the appropriate status manager, but I cannot get the changes to appear in Project Professional - it still shows the old value.
    I have used the following command to change the Status Manager to the Project Owner (I'm new to SQL, and we no longer have a DBA - so if my code isnt the greatest...I'll fix it)
    USE ProjectServer_ReportingUPDATE MSP_EpmTaskSET TaskStatusManagerUID = MSP_EpmProject.ProjectOwnerResourceUIDFROM MSP_EpmProjectWHERE MSP_EpmTask.ProjectUID = MSP_EpmProject.ProjectUID
    This modifies all the values correctly - Project Owners become the Status Manager in SQL
    Question: Is there something I am missing or can do OR I am not doing to make this new value show up? Is there a better way to do this from an administrative point of view, with no customer/user interaction?
    Your help is greatly appreciated
    Thank You
    kbwrecker

    Merely my personal opinion having been a Project Server 2010 admin in a medium-sized corporation:
    I think you are going to seriously do some damage if you go about trying to modify SQL tables behind Project Server's back. There are a LOT of operations that go into a simple "publish" and I doubt that the minor changes you want to make will account for
    all of them. Are you confident you're adjusting all of the values necessary? You may have a detrimental impact on in-flight approvals, timesheets, projects, tasks, assignments.. There is just far too much IMO.
    Believe me, I know it is not an ideal solution to have the business make their own adjustments. However sometimes it is just what has to be done. My vote is to craft brief instructions and send them out to the PMs. It's easy to do, they can change one row
    and then drag the field down like in Excel to edit all the rest; it's a 1-minute operation, max.
    Due to the nature of the field, (not being something you can edit via PWA, and even in Project Pro it only allows you to change it to yourself or another current Status Mgr) I think you'll have a hard time scripting this one via macro etc.. However if you
    do find a way, seriously keep in mind your scope and don't edit them all at once, it will need to kick off publishes and check-ins for all the affected projects.
    Good luck!

  • HOW TO MANAGER APPROVE LEAVE REQUEST AT A TIME MORE THEN TWO

    Hi Experts,
    This is Kalyan.I am working on ess/mss . How to manager approve four work items at a time .
    And how to add  Custom Fields in UWL .Can u please help me.
    Regards,
    Kalyan

    Hi Kalyan
      Suppose if multiple persons raise workflows like Leave, Travel, Claims, Loan every workflow is different. You cannot have single workflow and single work item. The work item comes to UWL for the approver. In the UWL you can customize the screen put a radio button in the screen such that only approve and reject button. So every wprk item can be just selected with approve and reject radio button on the UWL itself. Finaly update button will update the entier page with the approvals. But this is very very very difficult.
      Think logically Y the approver wants to do mass approval. Suppose the approver receives the leave work item without seeing the leave quota will he approve?. Similiarly for travel without seeing the expense amount will the approver approve the trip.
    UWL is for all the module like Travel, Leave, Claims, Loan etc. Every module the approval screen itslef different. So mass approval is not possible.
    If ESS is implemented only for Leave or Travel or Payroll then its possible. In that case customize the UWL with radio button and after mass approve or rejection finally need to update. But this is absolutly not advisable since every person the data are different.  So mass approval is not advisable.
    I think am logically correct?

  • When I try disabling colour management in the printer driver, it keeps turning back on

    I'm using Lightroom v2.4 and a Canon Pixma Pro 9500 printer with the latest driver.  I've just tried to print from Lightroom for the first time since moving to this latest version of Lightroom and when I go into print setup and turn off colour management, the driver doesn't keep the setting.  Nor does it allow me to do borderless printing.  My choice of print quality is also lost - this never used to be a problem.
    This is very frustrating and means I must use Photoshop to print which takes longer when there is much to do.  Please can someone offer some advice. I can print from Photoshop without this happening.
    Thanks
    Joanne

    Have you tried creating Print templates in LR? Available from the left panel
    in Print module. That's what I do to make sure the printer driver settings
    stay the same.
    Are you quite sure you have the latest 9500 driver?
    Eric
    I'm using Windows XP SP3, and I have just one button at the bottom left of the
    Lightroom print diaglogue window called 'Page settings', when you click this,
    you can select the printer and go into properties, which is where I normally
    disable colour management.  It is also refusing to print at standard quality,
    but it defaulting to high quality (which takes a lot longer).
    Thing is that I can print from Photoshop without problems and it's from
    Photoshop where I do much of my printing, but printing from Lightroom is good
    if I have a big load of prints to do as it's so much quicker to set up and it
    has the picture package facility.

  • How to make manager approve more than one request in one time in SSHR

    Dear All,
    Anyone has an idea on how to make manager approver more than one request in one time in SSHR??
    for example, manager is having 20 requests to approve on Change Pay Function, he don't want to check one by one and approve it, he want to approve the 20 requests directly from one time, is there any solution for that??
    Thanks and Regards

    Hi Adel,
    As Vignesh has mentioned we don't have any standard functionality which will allow bulk approvals. We had same kind of requirement in performance management where the business was asking for a bulk approval feature which should be available to Skip level manager for approving the rating suggested by line manager. We had created a custom page which will list all the notifications and user can select the ones which S/He wants to bulk approve and click submit button. Internally we had called the workflow with item key and other required parameter and do the approval.
    You can have a work with your technical guy and can work on the same lines.
    Thanks,
    Sanjay

    Khaled,

    Try writing a personalization on the PO screen that adds the following condition to the where clause
    "and authorization_status !='APPROVED'
    However, I will be careful with a blanket restriction like this. There are situations when you need to modify an existing PO. So you should code some exceptions for this rule.
    Hope this helps,

  • Event creation with status management

    Hello esteemed gurus ... it's your friendly workflow noob again
    It seems once people get a sniff that there is a someone who knows a bit about workflow in the company, everyone wants a piece of you!
    So... I have been asked to setup a workflow that will trigger when a user changes a user status on an SD contract. I've done some reading and I believe I'm nearly there but need a little help ...
    I have setup event creation with transaction BSVZ for object category VBK, specified my status profile, and business object BUS2034 and I'm using the event "CHANGED", within this I have set a status restriction to particular status of my user status profile.
    In my workflow definition I have specified the start event "CHANGED" for my business object BUS2034.
    The thing is, the workflow starts for every change to the contract, whereas I was expecting it to only start when the particular status I defined in my status management was set in the contract header.
    Are there any additional settings I need to make in order to restrict the starting conditions of the this workflow?
    Many thanks once again.
    Neil

    Hi Neil,
    There is two options to restrict the workflow.
    First one is start condition. You can check the workflow log. If your required field is populated in the Workflow container you can use start condition to restrict the workflow. In the Basic data of workflow template, Start condition is there. You can use the condition editor to set the condition.
    If your field is not populated by default, then you can use check function module for this. You need to create one FM, and in transaction swe2, the FM needs to be Configured. The concept is, based on the Sales document number you can get the required field and check the condition inside the FM. If the condition satisfied just leave it. The workflow will be triggered. If the condition is not satisfied raise a Exception. So that the Workflow will not be triggered.
    Thanks,
    Viji.
