Frame contract approval workflow

Hi,
once again I have a problem with a workflow.
I am facing following problem:
I am trying to create my own frame contract approval workflow (the standard doesn´t fullfill the requirements 100%).
When a frame contract is created, BUS2014 releasestepcreated event is raised.
When I change a contract, BUS2012 changed event is raised (there doesn´t exist any changed event for BUS2014).
The problem with that is, that my BUS2012 seems not to be able to handle frame contracts --> there is an error message.
Can anybody give me a suggestion how I can use a change event for frame contracts (want to have the same event like in BUS2012, but for BUS2014).
Many thanks for your help.
Christoph

I tried already.
It was not working so I took a look in the event trace.
Following error message occurs.
Feedback after error.
Source (expression '&_EVT_OBJECT.PURCHASEORDER&') of binding assignment is not available.
I tried a test in 'swo1'. Give the frame contract as an instance to BUS2012 --> ' Object does not exist'.
I think that it is not working with this event.
Any other solutions? Is there a way to create a change event for BUS2014 (of course in ZBUS2014), which is triggered when the change event in BUS2012 is triggered? Where do I have to define this?
Thanks for your help,
Christoph

Hi,
It looks workflow template is missing.
Please check the note 962488 "Workflow definition '&' not in version '&'".
1. Run the function module SWD_WFD_REPLICATE_FROM_9999 and copy it.
2. Re-activate the WF definitions in the transaction SWDD
3. Check Consistency in the transaction SWUD
Also check the sub workflow.

Contract Approval Workflow - WS14000088

We have an issue wherebay after creating and subsequently approving a contract via WS14000088, the java applet shows the approval as completes but the header status shows the contract as still awaiting approval.
When looking at the container of the workflow, the Approval Status is returning a value of 3 whereas it should be a 0.
Has anyone had this problem before?

I hadn't seen that note.
I've asked our BASIS team to apply and then will retest.

Workflow for Work Contract Approval

Hello everybody,
I need a Workflow for 2 level of approval of work contract.
Whenever a user make a work contract it requires approval upto two level.If Authority1 approves the contract it will go for the 2nd level approval to authority 2.If Authority2 reject that then it will come back to the creater to change it or withdraw the contract.If authority2 approve that then the work contract will be finally approved and complete the workflow else it will return back again to the creater.
Can some one tell me whether any standard workflow is available in SAP for Work Contract approval? Which BOR Object will be useful If I have to made custom development?

Contract N-Step approval workflow - WS14000148

Hi,
I have activated the workflow template WS14000148 and implemented the badi definition 'BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI' to populate the agents for routing the workflow notification.
When i create a contract, the workitem is going to the corresponding manager, but the 'Approve' and 'Reject' buttons are disabled on the Approval step of the workitem. I have checked for activation of work flow tasks, and also assigned agents to the required tasks.
Can anyone please help why the 'Approve' and 'Reject' buttons are disabled.
Thanks,
Raghu.

Hi,
See the foll related threads:
Approve reject button is disabled
Re: Approve Reject button in Item level is disable
Also see the foll notes:
Note 967429 - Approval buttons not updated after release
Note 1074724 - WS14000148:Button "Return to approver" does not work
Note 1019390 - Contract APPROVE/REJECT button displayed even after approval

Contract Approval WS14000086

Hello,
We have a SRM 4.0 Implementation (Extended Classic) and SP SAPKIBKS09.
This is our problem:
We have "no approval workflow" for creating contracts (GOAs), the WS14000086 workflow.
When the user creates the contract, it seems to be approved, but the status remain as "Waiting for approval".
In the RZ20 transaction we have the next error:
An error has occured MF BBP_PDH_WFL_WI_EXECUTE in position SAP_WAPI_WORKITEM_COMPLETE. Sy-subrc
An error has occured MF BBP_PDH_WFL_WI_EXECUTE in position SAP_WAPI_WORKITEM_COMPLETE. Sy-subrc:
In SWDD, we check the workflows and subworkflows and there is no error (I think we fixed the error 401 "no version for workflow exist" by using FM SWD_WFD_REPLICATE_FROM_9999).
In SWI1 there is no error and all is ok.
In SWUD we run the consistency check and is ok.
Any idea?
Thanks and Regards.

E-Sourcing - Contract Approval Process

I'm trying to develop a contract approval process with our Legal department using the E-Sourcing Contract Module and I don't see a contract approval process in the contract module. Does anyone know if the E-Sourcing Contract Module has a contract approval process similar to the RFx's approval process?
Please let me know.
Thank you,
Mauricio

SharePoint Approval Workflow using SharePoint Designer in SharePoint Foundation 2013

I am unable to do SharePoint Designer workflow for approval process and I didnt get any Approval process in Actions in SharePoint designer Workflow also I don't find workflow features in Site collection features SharePoint 2013.
Even I am not able to do simple Out of the box Approval Workflow.
Kindly help me with this

Unfortunately, Out of the box workflows are not available in SharePoint foundation 2013, you need at least the standard version of SharePoint 2013.
You can still create .Net Workflows using the 2010 plateform.
Take a look at this great comparative between the three versions of SharePoint 2013 :

Setting up Sharepoint 2013 approval workflows depending on field value

Dear Microsoft Support,
I am still relatively new to Sharepoint-Infopath and would need help with setting up workflows for a requisition form I am creating. I have designed and created a form using Infopath 2013 and have successfully created the link
to have the data uploaded into my Sharepoint Server 2013 library. This form's purpose is to have our users make supply requisitions from the Warehouse department. We are a school, therefore, there are numerous different departments with different approvers.
My goal now is to setup the approval workflows using Sharepoint Designer 2013. The complication now is that only certain people need to approve the requests, depending on the department selected. For example, I am in the IT department, if I put a field's value
as "IT" the form will be sent to the IT department manager prior to going to the Warehouse department for processing. If the user chose "English", the form will be routed to the English department head for approval. What are the steps that
I would take to have that kind of customization? How do I setup approval workflows in Sharepoint Designer 2013 to meet that?
I have tried searching for solutions over the web, but all of them are too generalized and would not be related to my case in terms of different approvers depending on the different departments in our school. Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks. Jason

I would create a second SharePoint list that is set up with two columns. The first column is Title (which is a default column) and the second column is 'Person or Group' column and name it 'Approver'. Then enter the department in the title field and select
the person who needs to approve that department's forms in the 'Approver' field. Use this list and pull in this information in the InfoPath form by creating a data connection to the newly created list and set up the filter to only pull
back the information where 'Title' = 'Department'. After this information is pulled into your form, store the approver information in a hidden field in the InfoPath form and use that field throughout the workflow.
I know this is a very brief explanation so let me know if you need more information.

Approval workflow in SharePoint foundation 2010

Hello Experts,
I'm using SharePoint foundation 2010. Can someone help me understand the procedure for creating the approval workflow for a doc library using the SharePoint designer 2010. It would be great if you can guide me the step by step procedure for setting up this
workflow.
Thanks.

Hi rebel537,
As you described, you are using SharePoint Foundation 2010. There is no “Start approval process” action when you edit SharePoint Foundation 2010 workflow in SharePoint
designer 2010.
I suggest you using “collect data from a user” action instead of “start approval process” action to complete the approval task. There is a demo for your reference.
1.
Open the SPD, navigate to the workflow edit zone. Select “collect data from a user “action.
2.
Click data, in the pop-up window, click next and enter the task name for the approval workflow.
3.
Click next, define the fields for the task, for this demo, there has a field “approval result”.
4.
Then click finish. Back to the workflow edit zone, click user, in the pop-up window, select the user for the task then click finish ,back to the workflow edit zone.
5.
Add a condition (if any value equals value) after the action.
6.
Click the first value, and then click Fx, there goes to a pop-up window, enter as below.
Data source: Association: Task List
Field from source: Approval Result
Field: ID
Value: Variable: collect
7.
Set another value to “Yes”, add the action” set workflow statue”, set it to approval.   Add an If-Else branch, set the workflow statue to reject.
8.
Publish the workflow, and use it for the approval purpose.
Thanks,
Simon

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

In search of assistance learning how to modify the mail message from an out of the box SP2010 approval workflow.

So, I have found the article
http://punaro.com/2012/01/derek/modifying-a-sharepoint-2010-workflow-email/comment-page-1/ which appears to walk through the process of modifying an out of the box workflow's mail message.
However, there is a basic problem that I run into before I get started.
I am logged into the system as a regular user (ie not a farm admin, etc.).
I do, however, have full control on the site on which I am working.
I create a custom list.
I create a simple one step approval - sharepoint 2010 out of the box workflow.
I start SharePoint designer and give it the URL of the list. It opens up and I see the various objects on the left side of the screen.
I click right on the Workflows object - which is where the article says I will find the ability to copy and modify the workflow.
All I see is "open", "open in a new tab" and "Pin".
I selecdt open in a new tab - and I get a blank screen labeled workflows that says "There are no items to show in this view".
So, I click on Lists and Libraries, then on the name of my custom list.
When the list displays, the Workflows section of the page has a "Modified Workflow" displayed.
When I right click on it, no menu is shown. When I click on the modified workflow, I get the workflow settings page for that workflow.
I am trying to figure out how to create the copy of the workflow so that I can modify one of the mail messages in SharePoint designer.
Is there someone who has some advice on how to find this copy and modify option? Or perhaps a web site, web forum, article series, or book covering the topic?
Thank you!

Hi lwvirden,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to modify the OOB approval workflow in SharePoint Designer.
After opening the site in SharePoint Designer, just click Workflows in the left panel and then the workflows in the site will load in the right part.
If you want to copy and modify the OOB approval workflow, then you need to right the approval workflow
Approval – SharePoint 2010 under Globally Reusable Workflow. After that you will see the
Copy and Modify button.
Best regards.
Thanks
