EXTRA INFORMATION IN HRSS (AFTER APPROVAL FROM THE APPROVING AUTHORITY)

Gurus,
We have defined Employee Cash advance request in Extra Information in HRSS and the same we are using in HRSS.
One employee first time for the cash advance, HRSS forms show only option to add. After request from the employee, it is approved and paid by quick pay or regular pay to the employee.
When second time employee select employee cash advance request from the menu. cash advance form show the eixsiting entry and three options Add Update and delete it. As per my understanding when one previous request have been apprpved and paid through quick pay or regular payroll run, it should not be available for edit or delete.
What do u say and if their any solution available for this.
Pls help.

Attaching Extra Information for on Hold process and starting the process

Hi,
We are developing BPM process using Oracle BPM 10.3.
Our want the process to be on hold to get extra information from some other system. The extra information will be recieved sepeartely oust side the BPM process. We want to add the extra information to the on hold process and continue the process. Please let me know how to develop the BPM process to cater this requirement.
Thanks

The right pattern would be to create a process that has something like the following flow pattern:
Begin -> ... (Some Activities) -> Wait
The Wait Activity can be defined to have arguments that the external application can use to send the additional information to aggregate with the existing instance data.
The way for an external application to connect to the instance waiting in the WAIT activity is to use the processId that is returned when you programmatically create the instance through any of the available APIs: PAPI (Java), PAPI-WS (Soap) or the process exposed as a web service. It is also possible to use correlations but this can be considered a more advanced topic.
In the same lines there are methods in PAPI and PAPI-WS or a process exposed as a Web Service to create an instance, there are methods to send a notification to a given instance in a given activity of the process. Using this API Calls, you can signal the instance in wait state and send some additional information so that when the Wait activity is executed, the instance is moved forward.

Approved invoices can not be edited - Approval process

Hi Experts -
I have recently raised an incident with SAP about Approval process - the complete message and support reply is as follows - but i believe we need a change in the approval process - if the approval required is only one but you have defined two people (Either or OR) in the approver list - the system should allow the document to be edited if one of the approvers reject it.
please let me know and i believe we need a change in design - unless otherwise a solid reason is given to justify the existing design
10.07.2009 10:32 Description (English) by SRS Manian
     We have created approval procedure for all the invoices which are entered into the system., The
'Accts' user enters the invoice into the system - the invoice comes for approval to 'Manager' user.
When the Manager opens the invoice via Alert window - he/she wants to modify certain information
(lines as well as Sales person) and approve it.
The invoice which gets opened from the alert window - does not allow the user 'Manager' to modify at
all. All the information on the invoice are greyed out.
The system should allow the user 'Manager' to modify the information. Since the manager has full
authorization to the system.

     Dear Manian,
Thank you for contacting us.
When the originator sends the document for manager's approval, note that the at that stage, the document is still in the 'Approval Process'. This is because the system is waiting for the 'Manager' to 'Approve or Reject' the document. Hence, looking at the Document, it is still in 'Draft - Pending' Status.
When the document is in 'Draft-Pending' Status, the document is not available for editing, because the system considers that it is still in the waiting process. In your case, the manager cannot edit t he document.
To amend the document, an action is required from the approver either to reject it first. Once rejected, it can be amended and re-sent for approval.
I have checked our knowledge base and noted that there is an article which describes the approval process. Please refer to the Expert on Phone Wiki Article (March 2009) with title: Why a draft documen t in an approval process cannot be modified by the originator?
The link will provide the explanation:

     Thanks for the reply. The scenario is when the Manager receives the
document for approval, he wanted to edit and add it. Your reply (and
documentations) states that it needs to be rejected first before it is
available for editing. When it is gets rejected - the person who
orignated the document gets an alert and he can edit it. Here the
Manager must get an alert so that he can edit the Rejected document.
When the 'manager' rejects the document, and goes back to the alert
window to open the document - it is still greyed out !!
How does the 'manager' reject the document and edits it ?
regards

     Dear Manian,
If after the Manager rejects it and still the document is not editable (greyed out), it means that the document may still be in the 'Approval Process'. When it is greyed out, what is the status of the document in the header? Does it say 'Rejected' or 'Pending'?
If it is still in 'Pending' mode, please verify the number of 'Approvers' set in the 'Stages' tab of the 'Approval Template - Setup' window. If there is more than one user listed as 'Approver', and o nly 1 approval is required, the system provides an opportunity to other 'Approvers' to approve or reject the document. If in your case, the number of approvers is 2, and manager 'rejected' it, the sys tem still keeps the document in Pending status as it waits for another approver's decision to reject or approve it.
Also, verify the number of 'Approvals' required. If the number of 'Approvers' who have not rendered their decision is greater than or equal to the 'Approvals' required (e.g. approvers - 2, required ap provals - 2) the system keeps the document within the approval process. This is to allow the other 'Approvers' to decide on the document.
I hope this clarifies the behaviour. If you can provide us a step by step screenshot of the issue, this may help us to provide a more accurate response.

I'm trying to call you but there was no response on your mobile.
When the header says 'Pending', then it means the document is still within the approval process. Please check the Approval Template and see the number of approvers and the number of approvals require d.
The number of approvals and approvers may be greater than 1. In this case, the system waits for other approvers to approve or reject the document. Once all the approvers have rejected the document, th en the document will be released and available for editing.

     Hi:
Thanks for the reply - i tried this and found out the following:
1 - In the approval templates - we had mentioned number of approvals
required as '1'.
2 - in the number of approvers - we had mentioned two users
Though the template requires only one approvals (Either or OR) the system
expects both of them to approve or reject -
Can u please let me why is this behaving like this - or is this is the
way it is designed ? - if this is the way it is designed - i beleive it
is wrong - weneed to give a solution to the customer

     Dear Manian,
Thank you for the information. The behaviour is a current system definition documented as per Note 1321234. I have attached the said Note for your reference. When only 1 approval is required and there are 2 or more persons are allowed to approve the document, the document does not get automatically rejected when 1 person 'rejects' it. The system waits for other approvers to render their decision b ecause a person may still approve or reject the document.
The design is not an application error. If you would like to change this design, please post your requirement in our SAP Business One Product Development Collaboration
forum. You can find the forum in this link:

Hi,
I have run into the same problem with SOA 11.1.1.5 version. In my case after fixing the following two errors it seems to work fine.
If you have followed the guide, there must be some errors:
First the java code if copied then contains an extra enter value:
Instead of:
"try {
System.out.println("Prototype for invoking an OIM API from a SOA Composite");
System.out.println("RTM Usecase: Self Registration Approval by Organization
Administrator");"
Use the following:
"try {

The other error is that you should not use <BEAHOME>/oracle_common/modules/oracle.jps_11.1.1/jps-manifest.jar, but the <BEAHOME>/oracle_common/modules/oracle.jps_11.1.1/jps-api.jar in jdeveloper. After these the deployment to the application server works fine for me.

Approval process missing payload

Hi,
I have created a custom soa compsite/approval process and it works fine ..only thing is the approver isnt getting the request payload (which contains the information of the request) so in the approvers task tab there isnt any req id it doesnts shows the requesters name and other details ....the OIM log shows the error
IAM-3050082 : An error occurred while unreserving User attribute and corresponding request ID is 144.:144>
I am checked and rechecked all the steps without any success. Please help me out here
Thank you

Does the approvers tab show anything? Also how about the request instance in EM? What does it show? Does it show in fault state? What is the error message at the fault? Also you need to paste your error stack trace from OIM logs if any and the OIM version.Are you seeing this will all your approval processes?

OIM 11g Approval Process

Hi Expert/All,
May I have assistance regarding the OIM 11g?
Currently, I already create one approval (only 1 level approval) for some resource in OIM 11g, then I'm continue to test the resource with two below way:
1. If I'm try to add "New Resource" directly by xelsysadm via manage user menu (without approval process), the provisioning process was successfully creating new account in the target system.
2. The wierd is if I'm try to test Self-service request by user, after approval by last level approval, then there is no provisioning activity by OIM system, it is like OIM do nothing. The request status is show "Obtaining Template Approval" and history approval is complete by manager user (only 1 level approval)
My question is, does it still required any configuration for completing the provisioning process after the approval process?
Thanks,
Ricky R

Hi Kevin,
Thanks for the information, but it still do nothing, OIM did not continue the provisioning account to target system event I already assign SYSTEM ADMINISTRATOR roles to the user and manager. How I can trace this logs? currently I'm just look at the oim_server1.log at <OIM_DOMAIN>/severs/oim_server1/logs. Is there any other log file can we use to trace the app server logs?
Thanks,
Ricky R

Additional Info is locking the approval process

Hi,
We have configured ESS Time sheet rectording and approval process, it has been working fine. But suddently we are seeing one new issue. If the employee enters additional information in the recording time daily view. This record is getting locked in Manager approval view even though it is released by employee.
We have double checked all the process and releasing working hours but still getting the same message(Not possible to save: record is being processed).
Please suggest us to resolve this isuue.
Thanks,

Hello,
Probably you have already checked, but it does't cost to say here if you have checked if the record isn`t locked perhaps on the backend?

Hello Nicola,
Exactly what product are you using?
What version of that product?
I believe this question is in the incorrect forum, but I need this information to be able to point you in the right direction.
Also in the future, do not cross post questions to multiple forums as that is against the [Rules of Engagement|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/wiki?path=/display/home/rulesofEngagement]

RFQ Approval Process through Workflow

Dear experts,
We are on planning phase of RFQ release approval through SAP Workflow. There is an issue I would like to hear from your valuable thoughts.
When an RFQ is created, ME41, all individual bids are collected under a unique collective number. Once price maintain process is done through ME47 for all bidder, we would like to send all RFQu2019s, with necessary information, which are linked to a collective number in one e-mail even if there are tens of RFQu2019s linked a collective number, not one by one sending it as we do in PO workflow process.
Is it possible to realize this case within SAP standard approval process? Because so far I noticed that once fundamental customizing is done after price maintaining step RFQu2019s are send individually, one by one, to approvers.
Cheers

Dear Melih,
I suppose you want to get approved the best offer in the bid. The best practice is to have a strong rules based on predefined criteria which quotation to be choosen by Purchasing. Then PO/contract/scheduling agreement/PIR can be maintained.
What we have done in our system is that the PO created goes for approval based on Chart of authority via Enterprise portal. A report, displaying the key figures from the RFQs in the bid, vendor evaluation scoring for each vendor, if available and some other data, is linked to the workflow item and displayed during approval process.

Ognian

SAP - Invoice Approval Process

Dear Experts,
Please advice if anyone has any information on SAP Invoice Approval process integrated with Livelink Imaging.
Process:
a)     All invoices are scanned in Livelink to capture the invoice image
b)     Establish link btw SAP and Livelink i.e., In SAP some reference number will be keyed which should fetch the relevant scanned invoice doc and display.
c)     User reviews and either accepts or rejects the scanned invoice
d)     Once accepted an Invoice document is posted in SAP based on the inputs provided by the business
e)     Later workflow is triggered for approval of invoice for payment.
Looking forward to your valuable suggestions.

Hello,
Thank you for your note. But how to enable the work flow as mentioned by you.

2. We are going forward with the default settings can any one tell us if we need to do something extra to get all those options activated like in process, in development etc
I am in mid of these configuration settings; please assist me asap if possible.
Thanks in advance,

Hello
Thanks for your reply,
I have used BP to create and process change request. Only confused with the standard process and where to look for the change documents, thats the reason i couldnt see the requests and change their status.
I just want to know if you have customized any thing in to the standard configuration, say for e.g. if you want to add your own actions like in maintenance cycle after requests been released in development if you want to import automatically in QA which happens in case of Urgent corrections. What I need to do if I have to do such settings or change it in my standard configuration.
How can I change this standard configuration? Anyone has done such kind of customization?
Thanks for your help and more help on this topic will be appreciated.
