FI Invoicing Workflow

Hi,
I have implemented a FI Invoicing workflow which involves 3 levels of approval starting from document parking through TC: FV60 till document posting. And this is working fine. I have done configurations in SPRO like creating workflow variants and assigning to Company Code.
After this is successfull we have automated the document parking process also through another workflow like whenever a new invoice is scanned this will trigger a workflow based on the settings in soa0 transaction. Now the document scanning will trigger the Workflow and create a workitem to park the document. If the user selects to park the document workflow will load the TC: FV60 to park the document.
This workflow is working and a workitem will come to user if an invoice image is scanned to the system.
But the problem is that Switch Company Code option is disabled in the TC: FV60 which is loading from Workflow. But if u try to run the method to park the document externally, switch company code option is there in the TC: FV60.
Is this problem having any relation to the company code associated to workflow variant in the previous workflow.
Pls help me.
Regards,
Sheron

Hi Arghadip,
If i try to manually execute this Tcode: FV60, I will have authorization to switch Comapny code. Also if i execute the BOR method seperately then also i am having the authorization to switch company code. But through Workflow, it is not allowing me to switch company code.

Sheron

  • Non PO Invoice Workflow - Error while Posting Document

    Hi Experts
    Hope I am posting this in the right forum as I am new to SDN!
    We have customized a multi-level non PO invoice workflow which triggers at the time of clicking 'Save as Completed' in tcode FV60.
    It has been configured to automatically post the document once it is approved at all the required levels. However, the document cannot be posted even after it receives all levels of approval. The status shows as 'Complete' but the error message shown is 'No Amount Authorization for Customer/Vendor in Company Code' in the workflow screen (MSGID F5, MSGNO 155).
    Now as I understand, this is the error for maintenance of user ID in tolerance groups. However, all user IDs have already been maintained and no matter who parks the document, the same error appears in the workflow screen.
    We have no idea whether this is happening due to some missing config from FI side or WF side.
    Regards

    Hi
    Go to Tcode: OBA3 Assign tolerance group under your company code and give all limits for each group. If you done this one your properly your problem should solve.

  • AP Invoice workflow - When no rules matches in the AME

    Hello,
    I have a small Issue with AP Invoice Workflow.
    AME Setup:
    1.IF supplier amount > 600 get approval from approval-grp.
    Data 1:
    1.Create a invoice with amount 700 and distributions with 700 amount.
    2.Validate Invoice
    3.Intiate Approval using actions "Intaiate Approval"
    Able to get the notification and able to track workflow process in workflow Admin
    Data 2:
    1.Create a invoice with amount 500 and distributions with 500 amount.
    2.Validate Invoice
    3.Intiate Approval using actions "Intaiate Approval"
    4.Invoice shows status *'Intiated'*
    Not able to see workflow process in Workflow Admin and no updates in View Invoice Approval History.
    Any idea on why this is not working will be of great help!
    Cheers.

    Hi,
    As per my knowledge, if rules are not matching, then status would be "Not Required" and not "Approved" after initiating approval.
    I was testing some scenarios with AME involving "Prepayments" alone. Hence, if i create an Invoice, then Status would be "Not Required".
    Also, pls login to Sysadmin and check status of the Workflow.
    Also, if AME is not able to find an approver, then the notification will be forwarded to the "Administrator Approver" defined in Configuration Variables Window.
    There we provide the UserId of Administrator Approver. Generally, if nothing is specified, Sysadmin would be the Administrator Approver.
    Is there any other condition which you are using apart from >600 ?

  • Endless Loop in Approval of FI Invoice Workflow

    Hi Everyone,
    I was having a problem with the workflow template WS90400009 - Approval of FI Invoice Workflow.
    When the Proof of Performance approver is trying to approve/reject an invoice, the workflow is getting into an endless loop in the class method CL_SWF_RUN_WFM->CHECK_CB_IN_DEADL_BRANCH.
    This did not occur previously in any of the FI approval workflows and neither is it affecting any other workflow in the system. How could this suddenly happen?
    Eventually, the system times out and the workflow log shows "In Process"...but does not process further!
    Thanks in advance for the help!

    Hi Everyone,
    Thanks for the replies.
    We just corrected the issue with the OSS Note 935994 -
    Symptom :
    In some cases, a timeout that is triggered by an endless loop in the CL_SWF_RUN_WFM->CHECK_CB_IN_DEADL_BRANCH method occurs after you execute a work item.
    The timeout only occurs for workflow definitions with nested loops.
    This issue begun after some modifications were done in a workflow with modelled deadline.
    All workflows were going into a "hang" state.
    Thankfully, issue is now resolved.

  • Wait statement stuck in Invoice workflow BUS2081

    Hi,
    I have a problem in invoice workflow where it sends a mail and waits for 8 Hours for GR to be created.
    These steps are called in loop. After 8 hours it compares PO quantity with GR quantity and when GR is complete, it exits the loop. If GR is not complete till 120 hours (i.e. 5days) it sends mail to Superiors.
    In order to wait for 8 hours I have a step with one line code.
    WAIT UP TO 28800 SECONDS.
    On some given dates, for all the workflows this step gets stuck and for more than a month it shows status “In process” in workflow log. On other days it runs fine.
    Please help me find what could be the reason for this .

    Hi Bhavin,
    WAIT for 8 hours is a bad idea to start with. There are couple of other alternatives:
    1) Configure an Event for GR Completion and have your workflow react to the event. You can use Modeled Deadline to send the email when the GR is not completed in 5 days. This would probably mean considerable change to your WF.
    2) Use Requested Start for the GR completion check Step and Modeled Deadline to send the email when the GR is not completed in 5 days. You need to compute the Date & Time for the Requested End before the loop start and use the Expression Option.
    For both the options, you need to have the Deadline monitoring job running.
    If you want to continue with your WAIT UP TO 28800 SECONDS, you will have to ask you Basis folks to investigate your problem as this is not a Workflow issue.

  • Blocked invoice Workflow

    Hi All,
    I have a problem with Invoice blocked for Price reasons workflow,I have copied a Standard one and only changed the agent determination.
    When the invoice is executed from the iinbox ,itgives 3 options
    i.e 1) Change Purchase Order
         2) Item list of price to be blocked
         3) List of items not to be clarified,
    The proble is selecting any of the above options does do anything..e.g is I select the first option the it displays an order to be changed but it is not editable and the same applies to the rest.
    Is there a way in the workflow itself where I should make it to be editable on this step..or is there a SAP note that needs to be implemented to solve this.
    Please advise.

    Incoming invoice
    Object type Bus2081 (Incoming invoice)

  • Logistics Invoice workflow

    Hi All,
              Requirement is for a Logistics Invoice Workflow
              triggered when 1> Price variance block(P) 2>Qty variance block (Q)
                                    3> when GR not found --- dont know which event this raises
              Also 1 invoice can have associated multiple PO's . The PO's can have different buyers . So the buyers should be sent the workitem with only the details of the Po's that he is responsible for  . Also if there is both a qty block and a price block then he should receive just 1 workitem . I don't think they require functionality as in workflow WS20000397 where the workflow automates the change / delete/verify actions and if change is selected then loops through the PO's in the change mode allowing to change price . This functionality will be performed manually , so the workflow itself is more like a notification .
               This is how I was thinking of tackling this .
               1. Get the list of blocked work items for the current invoice into a multiline.
               2. Get the buyers for each invoice line item via the associated PO Litem
                   into another multiline
               3. Get a list of buyers from pt 2 and remove duplicates . move into another multiline .
               4. call a subworkflow ( once for each line of the multine for  buyers ) .
               5. This subworkflow will get the line items belonging to the buyer
                   it will then call a task which will list the line items ( similar to bus2081-LISTBLOCKEDPRICEITEMDATA ). might have to create another method for  LISTBLOCKEDQTYTEMDATA  and call the task based on whichever event is called . I don't know in which category would the no GR created block fall under ?
    The work item can also contain object references for Invoice and each of the PO's so that he can view them as links and display the invoice and PO's .
                   The task will be completed by a invoice.released event , but if so then all the buyers will have to wait for the invoice has been released . maybe I can check if the relevant workitems have been unblocked . If not then send him another workitem . If the user chooses to reject the workitem the requirement is sent to the Accounting clerk which is fine .The workitem will remain in his inbox until he manually completes the workitem .
                   I hope this would work . The only thing I'm not very clear is how I can get a single workitem for both qty & price variances if they occur at the same time as they are 2 different events and will create 2 different workflows ?
    Any ideas let me know .

    Hi Radha,
    You can trigger a single workflow from different events. Even in this case it will create two workflow instances for the different events that are triggered. I guess you will have to wirte a small function module which can check for the PO properties. If it has both then you can run the workflow for any one branch. This is what comes to my mind.
    For the GR not present scenario you can just have a workflow once an Invoice is created and then run the workflow only if the GR is not present. You can have a check function module for that too.
    Hope this helps,

    Hi
    Which SRM version and workflow are you using ? Is it Item-Level Workflow or SC-Level Workflow ? Seems to be a bug or might be due to incorrect workflow configuration settings.
    <u>Please go through the SAP OSS Notes below -></u>

  • Invoice Workflow : Dialog work item created

    Hi,
    I am not fully aware of workflow but can manage to check the logs and status.
    My question is: My Invoice workflow status is 'READY' but i dont know how to find to whom the work item it currently held.
    When i check the log it says:
    WF-BATCH                       Dialog work item created
    How can i check, which approver currently held work item so that i can chase them to approve the item.
    There are no agents assigned to the workflow and it is General Task.
    I would apprecaite if you could share me some information about this.
    Thanks,
    Macs.

    Hi,
    About Invoice Workflow :
    WS10400016 – Without approval,
    WS10400017 – One-step approval,
    WS10400018 – Two-step approval,
    WS10400021 – Administrator approval
    The relevant approval workflow is started, depending on completion status, invoice category (credit memo or invoice), creator role, and total value of the invoice.
    You should have maintained approver in your org structure (PPOMA_BBP)
    Please have a look at  :

  • Which AP Invoice Workflow launched in R12

    Dear experts,
    Here is the background:
    I am looking at a R12 environment, migrating from an 11.5.10 with customisations.
    In both environments I am looking at the workflow's that are lauched following the creation of a simple Invoice under 'Payables Manager' , followed by clicking on the 'Initiate Approval' invoice action.
    In both environments, there is a subscription to the business event: 'oracle.apps.ap.event.invoice.approval' which launches the workflow Item Type: APINV. This set up is identical in both.
    The Problem:
    When I go to Status Monitor I can see the following workflows launched after creating an invoice and initiating the approval:
    1) R12 : 'AP Invoice Approval', Item Type - APINVAPR
    2) 11.5.10 : 'AP Invoice', Item Type - APINV
    Therefore, different workflow's are lauched between the two releases. As APINV is subscribed to ''oracle.apps.ap.event.invoice.approval', why is this not launched in R12? Also, APINAPR does not have an Event item in the workflow - where is it initiated from?
    Could the differences between the two releases be to do with AME set up?
    Many thanks for your anticipated help,
    Mark

    Please see if (R12: Status of the Invoice Becomes Blank After Applying a Prepayment [ID 733006.1]) is applicable.
    Thanks,
    Hussein

  • Parked Invoices - Workflow Issue

    Hi All,
    We have an issue with posting of parked invoices. A particular invoice has been released from workflow. Even in the workflow control of parked inovices, all the 3 check boxes are marked. However, the invoice still appears as a Parked invoice in the Vendor account.
    Is there any way to release this in the system? Or to reverse the invoice from the system?
    Thanks

    Yeah you are looking at the right sql. First value is item type and second is item ke.
    For e.g. for a PO if you have to debug the issue you can get these values from PO_HEADERS_ALL table. There are two columns wf_item_type and wf_item_key in PO_HEADERS_ALL.
    Or you can look at the Workflow Administrator Responsibility also. There you can search the instance of your workflow and see what path the Work flow took and where it got stuck.
    Thanks
