E recruitment Approval workflow - Inbox issue

Hi Experts,
Im working in a E recruitment module. So we have two systems one is HR system and Second one is E recruitment system. When ever the Candidate requested for the job, the candidate will be processed in E recruitment system and if the candidate is eligible for the job, then he will be hired using HR System.
My issue is, I have one Approval workflow in the E recruitment module. I get the Approver details from HR System and sending the work item to the Approver's inbox. that is fine.
But the problem is, E recruitment has separate inbox and the HR System has the separate inbox for the same person. Now the work item reaching the E recruitment inbox. But it should reach the HR system inbox.
How the approval based workflow's working in E-recruitment module? Is any web service based approval tasks needs to be created or We can use the user decision task to get the approval?
Please give your valuable suggestions.
Helps will be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi Nandini
If both E-rec and HR system are connected together in landscape. As soon as job rec wf trigger from E-rec system based the logic to determine the approver to get the approver user id. After getting the user id you need to check wheather the approver belongs to which system ie E-rec to HR this can be get by using standard FM passing the userid to the FM it will give the result in which system the user id exist. After that you need the send that work item to the approver. Before sending the work item you need to find all the details in the background method of the workflow. There are standard FM to get the details of the system user id and in which system the user belongs to.
If you have any help let me know.
Regards
Vijay

Approval Workflow Forwarding issue

Hi Gurus,
I am facing a unique problem. We are using SRM5.0 with ECC6.0 as backend. We have a n-step BADI workflow implemented for approval of shopping carts. Let us say, I created a shopping cart which is to be approved by X and then by Y. Now, if the approver X forwards this approval mail (either from SAP inbox or from his external mail id) to another user Z, then on complete approval, the approval preview in the shopping cart shows only user Y as the approver of the SC. Neither user X nor Z are shown as approver nor does it show that Z has approved the shopping cart.
Why is this happening? Is this a SAP-standard procedure? How do I correct this such that the shopping cart shows that user Z has approved it?
Could anyone please throw some light on this issue? Will be really grateful...
Thanks & Regards,
Ancy

Hi,
Once the SC is approved by Z and Y, the approval preview must be display both approvers.. if this is not happen.. then check the OSS note.. what is your SP Level?

OIM 11.1.1.5 Approval Workflow Issue

Hi,
I have installed OIM 11.1.1.5. While self-registration of a user, the request is created and by default assigned to xelsysadm as the request level approver.
However, when the approver logs in, assigns the organization to the user and approves the request, it is shown that the approval task is completed.
But the request status doesn't change and remains "Obtaining Request Approval" and thus the user is not created in OIM.
In SOA server, on checking the logs (soa_server1-diagnostic.log) we found the following error -
[soa_server1] [ERROR] [] [oracle.soa.bpel.engine.dispatch] [tid: orabpel.engine.pool-5.thread-4] [userId: weblogic] [ecid: ee9b8be672bf5ad0:-72f1c18e:1399f6dc058:-8000-0000000000000108,0:1:100000006] [APP: soa-infra] failed to handle message[[
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: oracle.wsm.policy.model.IPolicySet.getStatus()Loracle/wsm/policy/model/IPolicySet$POLICYSET_STATUS;
We are unable to resolve the issue, we've tried using a custom approval workflow instead of the default approval workflow.
Kindly help.

Hi ,
I actually faced the same issue some time back .., it took me almost a week to resolve it ..
This is happening basically due to incompatible version of wsm-policy-core.jar on your server . Please check all the FMW s/f installed on your server . One of them is incompatible with OIM 11.1.1.5.0 .
Are you using BIP 11.1.1.6 by any chance .

PO Approval workflow Acceptance Required issue

When PO_headers_all.acceptance_required_flag = 'Y', expected behaviour of PO Approval workflow is to send Action Required
email to supplier. But for some POs even PO_headers_all.acceptance_required_flag = 'Y', PO approval workflow is sending FYI emails to supplier, instead of action required email should goto supplier.
I have verifed the supplier responsibility who is receiving FYI email, supplier got responsibility to acknowledge PO ( based on POS_ACK_ORDER function assigned to supplier responsibility ) .
Could any one suggest me, how and where to fix this issue ? How will I know what is the cause of supplier receiving FYI email instead of Action required email ?
Thanks,
Sunitha

Approval workflow issue

Hello Friends,
I have created a simple approval workflow with 2 stages for a document library. User A will approve and then the approval has to go to User B
User A is receiving a mail and editing the document and saving it. User A then goes to his mail and approves it.
Now as per the logic, the User B should get an email. But its not happening so.
Is it something that I'm missing? Or should I include all the users in a single stage?
The error that I'm getting on the second stage

Hi Chandra,
According to your description, my understanding is that you got an error when you ran an approval workflow with two stages.
I did a testing as the following workflow, everything worked well:
Please create a new library, and a new workflow as the above, test again, compare the result.
In addition, as the message, the Approval WF failed to run when the user ID was system account. And by default, system account cannot run workflow automatically. So, please use other users to test, compare the result.

OOTB Approval Workflow CC field issue

I have a OOTB Approval Workflow that functions as expected but for the CC field. The email goes to only the first user mentioned in the CC field and not to the ones thereafter. I have checked the Approval Workflow steps using SharePoint Designer but nothing
seems to be off. I have run out of ideas as to why only the first name in the CC gets an email but not the rest.

Yes I did try changing the order. Still emails the first user mentioned in the order.
KP
Hi Kartik,
Do you mean if you change the order of users in CC field, only the first user can recieve the email?
Could you please contact SMTP administrator and see if message is sent from SharePoint workflow and recieved by user account? If you are using Exchange server as SMTP server, you could check message tracking log per timestamp.

Inconstancy in Approval Workflow- Process Controlled Workflow

Hello Experts,
We are in SRM 7.0 classic scenario using process controlled workflow and facing an issue as described below:-
During the approval workflow, we are observing that in
Case 1: When approver3 is forwarding the work item to approver10, the approver10 in not getting the work item in his Inbox. However, when we see the log detail in SWI6 the status is shown as u201CREADYu201D
Case 2: We created a shopping cart with identical details as in Case 1 and followed the same approval process i.e.Approver3 forwarding the work item to approver10, however in this case approver10 is getting the work item in his Inbox and when we see the log details in SWI6 the status is shown as u201CCOMPLETED"
We tried this scenario for 10 times and we found that in 2 cases the approval status is showing as u201CREADYu201D while in other 7 cases the approval workflow got completed.
Can you all experts please help us understand why this is happening and how can be find the root cause i.e why Case 1 is in u201CREADYu201D status for last 2 days.
We seek your help in understandingroot cause so that we can eliminate any inconsistency in future.
Any pointers to resolve this issue will be highly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

Use class /SAPSRM/CL_WF_APV_FACADE. This is used by standard SAP WF Analysis.
Methods - RETRIEVE_PROCESS_HISTORY, GET_CURRENT_PROCESS_STATE, CREATE_PROCESS_FORECAST.
To analyze more, check the program /SAPSRM/WF_CFG_ANALYSIS_002. Check lines 209...216 (These Lines pull Previous Approved Steps, Current Process Step & Gets the approval forecast). However the REJECTED Items (Accept Decision) work little different (which is not captured by this report).
To Identify the current approval process awaiting decision by the requester of the cart, use method GET_CURRENT_PROCESS_STATE, return parameter structure /SAPSRM/S_WF_PROCESS-PROCESS_LEVEL_LIST-DECISIONSET_LIST-ITEM_STATUS_LIST gets you the current status of the item (ACCEPTED, REJECTED, OPEN, INQUIRED). If ITEM_STATUS_LIST-ITEM_STATUS EQ 'REJECTED', then the WF is waiting for acceptance/resubmission from the requester.
To your specific need, pass DOCUMENT_GUID to the class /SAPSRM/CL_WF_APV_FACADE=>GET_CURRENT_PROCESS_STATE get the return parameter /SAPSRM/S_WF_PROCESS. It will give you PROCESS_LEVEL_LIST. Then loop through DECISIONSET_LIST. It contains Table Types of AGENTS_LIST, ITEM_STATUS_LIST, WORKITEM_LIST. At /SAPSRM/S_WF_PROCESS level, you can get all the details of the current process level details

N Step BADI Approval Workflow Error in SRM 7.0

Hi,
I have implemented SC Workflow Approval based on line item(sequential approval). I implemented process controlled workflow for this using N step Badi. Necessasy configuration done for each level at schema. All steps are executed per line item and agents determined using N step Badi /SAPSRM/BD_WF_RESP_RESOLVER.
Even in SC after the document is ordered, in approval overview tab i see the all level sequence with approvers name for that line item.
But when approved by first approver, it doesnot move to the next level for approval and the SC is approved bypassing all approvers in the following levels.
For example, if there four levels of approvals for one line item. as soon as the first approver approves the SC is approved and in SC Approval Overiew tab that contained four level of approval in it is now reset to one level with SC marked as appproved.
Have anybody come across this error.
Not able to figure out why it is happening so... need some expert advice.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Masa .. thanks for your reply.
Was on vacation so could not reply.
I have below settings in SRM for SC
Process Level definition should be like this.
Level Eva.ID ; Resolver Task ID Decision Type
100 L100 R100 40007953 Item-Based decision for Partial Doc.
200 L200 R100 40007953 Item-Based decision for Partial Doc.
300 L300 R100 40007953 Item-Based decision for Partial Doc.
I have implemented /SAPSRM/BD_WF_RESP_RESOLVER for R100.
for grouping we are using line item number ... so each line item is a group.
Below are issues that i am facing now.
For say 2 line item in a SC... with 3 level of approvals for each line item. I am not able to approve one line item in a sequence. For example: If for first line item, when I approve level one .. then the workitem doesnot move to 2nd approver's inbox for that line item. Now if second items (asssuming there are only 2 line items in SC) first approver has approved then i see all second level of approvers available for all line item.
In short system waits for all one level approvers to approver for all line item and when all the line items are approved at one level then the workitems are available for seconds level of approval.
Is this the standard behaviour?
As per our requirement we wanted one line item shoudl follow the approveral sequence without being dependent on other items approval.

Can i Cannge the WF_INITIATOR for SRM Approval Workflow.

Hi Experts,
I am facing issue related to sendor name format.
Whenever SRM approval workflow gets triggered then corresponding responsible user(Approver) gets a mail in their SAP inbox.
I checked in the system these workflow runs using RFC_USER user.So approver gets mail with sendor information as RFC_USER i.e. "Sent: Jun 17, 2011 by RFC_USER, Functional ID "
My requirement is to replace this RFC_USER with some other generic user.
Can anybody tell me please how can i achieve this.
Thanks,
Rupendra Pandey

Hello,
Usually, if I want to do anything unusual with mails from workflow then I create a step which calls a task which calls a new method of my BOR object which calls fm SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1. In that we can specify Sender name different from WF_BATCH or RFC_USER.
Check the following Code for sending mail.

Approver request gets to approver but not seen in approver work inbox AC10

Hello Gurus,
I have a problem that has been frustrating me for some two days now.
I am trying to create a user request using the standard workflow in AC 10.0.
I have the manager account setup and assigned to the user i am trying to create.
The role i am assigning to the user has an approver assigned to it.
I have 2 stages defined - GRAC_MANAGER (Agent ID - GRAC_MANAGER | Aprover type - Anyone Approver) and GRAC_ROLEOWNER (Agent ID - GRAC_ROLEOWNER | Aprover type - Anyone Approver).
I don't have any notification settings defined anyway. (Do I need to define any notification anyway if I am using the default settings)
When I go to the audit log of the created request in the search request environment, it tells me that it is "pending for approval at the path GRAC_DEFAULT_PATH stage GRAC_MANAGER Approver ID: Managerapp" [where Managerapp is my Manager defined as approver].
My issue now is that when I go to the inbox of the manager, i cannot see any request pending for approval there. So where is it?
Please help me out as I am stucked.
Thanks

Hi,
The root cause of the issue are two configuration item in your SPRO workflow configuration which normally is done in your post installation operation.
1. Perform Automatic Workflow Configuration.
2. Perform task specific customization.

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
