Add Approver button disabled for PO in sap srm when GR and IR are already posted

Hello Gurus,
One of my user has edited an old PO for which the GR and IR has already been posted in backend. Now the reason for editing was to change the expected value for 3 item and he changed the value the approver is still blank as for old PO's there was no approval required but later on the whole scenario changed and based on total value the approvers are decided now. But for this PO still its not showing the appovers and also the add approver button is disabled. Is there any way to enable the Add approver button. Also please let me know whether addition of approver is allowed after the GR and IR are posted in backend.
Thanks

Solved.
In Control Actions -> Configure Control of Actions on Header Level, it's not neccessary put the subtype equal to 0.

Add Approver - applet performance when 'Add here' pressed

Hi -
We have recently upgraded to SRM 5.0 (classic) and are noticing that the Add hoc approver functionality is quite slow when using the graphical view.
Steps:
- for a sc to be approved, go to Approval Preview
- click 'Add Approver'
- on any of the 'Add here' entries, press
The perofmance problem is when the 'Add here' is pressed - for the graphical view, i.e. using the applet, the performance can take 15 sec. and sometimes longer. But, if in table view, the performance is o.k. at about 5 sec.
This leads me to believe that the problem is with the applet (as opposed to for example the agent assignment causing problems, as is the same agent assignment with both ways).
Just wondering if anyone is noticing the same issue - I have found nothing in OSS nor in this forum.
Thanks,
Keith

Keith,
We are also in the process of implmenting SRM5.5/EBP5.0.
Just throwing out some ideas...since the graphical view is using a Jave applet could cause be due tp the jre version? Parhaps upgrading ot he lates jre will solve the problem.
Thanks,
PS. Where in Canada are you?

Add approver/ reviewer-data not coming up.

Hi All
One more question-we are in SRM4.0
We managed to enable the add approver and add reviewer tabs under approval.
Now when we try to add approver or reviewer the system does not fetch any data. Do we need to maintain a separate table of approvers and reviewers and link a program so that when user clicks on the tab, the data is fetched from the table....or there is some other way out.
Regards
Ashish

Ashish,
I am having a similar kind of issue like what you had months back. The 'Add approver' and 'Add reviewer' buttons are disabled on the shopping cart status overview. I have the approval task TS10008126 as general task (Not general fowarding allowed). Also the SAP provided BADI SAP_CHNG_AGNT_ALLOW is active in the system. But for some reason the add approver/reviewer buttons are greyed out.
How did you resolve your issue? Appreciate your help
Thanks

SRM 7.0 'Add Approver' button disabled after rejection

Hi Experts,
I'm working on SRM 7.0(BRF) RFx workflow. I have configured the process level schema and the acceptance by contact person in customizing. When any of the approver rejects the document, it comes back to the creator which is right. But i see the 'Add Approver' button as disabled. But while creating a new document it is showing the 'Add Approver' button, only after rejection, the creator is seeing the button as disabled. Is it the standard behaviour in SRM7.0 ?
Can you guys share your thoughts on this..
Thanks

Add approver when the SC is in Awaiting approval

Hi SDN,
we are using SRM 5.5 system.
When the SC is created the in the BADI - BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI we are finding the manger of the user and sending workflow to that mangaer.
Up to this eery thing is working fine.
But when the SC creater wants to chnage the Approver name in Approver Preview (Add approver) when the SC is in Awaiting approval.
System is allowing us to add APprover here but when i Save the SC system calling the BADI BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI and over righting that manger name with the original manger not with added manger.
Please let me know.
Thanks
Naresh

Once i selected the add approver i can't see this value or capture in any badi.
Can any one know where can i get the added approver details before saving the shopping cart
that mean at run time.

Add approve data column in sp

i want to add approve date from approval table i tried but it not works
sp
ALTER procedure [dbo].[spdocuments]
as
SELECT dbo.DocumentInfo.DocID as DocumentID,
dbo.DocumentInfo.DocName as DocumentName,
dbo.DocumentInfo.UploadedDate as UploadedDate ,
dbo.DocumentInfo.Uploadfile as FileUploaded,
dbo.DocumentInfo.UploadedBy as UploadedBy,
dbo.Department.DepType as Department,
dbo.Approval.ApproveDate,
dbo.ApproveType.ApproveType as Status
FROM dbo.DocumentInfo inner JOIN
dbo.ApproveType ON dbo.DocumentInfo.ApproveID = dbo.ApproveType.ApproveID inner JOIN
dbo.Department ON dbo.DocumentInfo.DepID = dbo.Department.DepID left join
dbo.Approval on dbo.Approval.ApproveID = dbo.Approval.ApproveDate
this sp returns me approve date column null like this
DocumentID DocumentName UploadedDate FileUploaded UploadedBy Department ApproveDate Status
30 computer science 2013-12-25 18:31:26.420 dotnetcodes.docx noreen Computer Science NULL Pending
31 manual hr 2013-12-26 12:16:54.830 The Business Memo.doc kulsoom Human Resource NULL Approve
whereas in approval table and in this approvedate data exist
SeqNO DocID ApproveID AppoveBy DesigID ApproveDate
258 30 1 sundus 1 2013-12-25 18:34:47.347

260 31 1 wajihazeb 3 2013-12-26 12:17:37.150

You only got half my query. It starts with a ;.
;with maxApproval as
select approveId, max(approvalDate) as approvalDate from Approval group by approveId
SELECT di.DocID as DocumentID,
di.DocName as DocumentName,
di.UploadedDate as UploadedDate ,
di.Uploadfile as FileUploaded,
di.UploadedBy as UploadedBy,
d.DepType as Department,
coalesce(ma.ApproveDate, ''),
at.ApproveType as Status
FROM dbo.DocumentInfo di inner JOIN
dbo.ApproveType at ON di.ApproveID = at.ApproveID
inner JOIN
dbo.Department d ON di.DepID = d.DepID left
join
maxApproval ma on at.ApproveID = ma.ApproveID;
This is a CTE. You can learn about them in my article on Code Project, here:
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/702691/SQL-Wizardry-Part-Three-Common-Table-Expressions-C
As you can see, I also aliased all your tables, which makes my SQL more concise. As I said, the aliases ( like the di. in di.DocId ) can be removed if that column name only exists in one of the tables you're selecting from.

'Add Approver' is inactive for SRM contracts

Dear colleagues,
We have deal with SRM 5.5. The point is that the button 'Add Approver' is inactive for 'Approval Preview'.
This issue regarding SRM contracts. Does anybody know how to activate usage of "add approver" during approvement of a contract.
Many thanks in advance for your help.
Kind regards,
Grygoriy
P/S
I've had a look at notice 'ADD Approver/Reviewer buttons are disabled' by N M Poojari ( ADD Approver/Reviewer buttons are disabled), unfortunately, author didn't point to solution of his problem. So, I'll appreciate more detailed plan of actions.

Thanks, Siobhan, for your reply.
However, the problem was caused by my attempt to to do the following steps with a wrong WF (instead standart workflow for contracts (WS14000148) we use Z-flow) :
PFTC -> Select workflow template -> workflow you are using -> Display -> Additional data ->
Agent Assignment -> Maintain -> Attributes -> Select radio button
'General Task'. -> The problem is solved
Yours faithfully,

ADD APPROVER button to be disabled!

Hi All,
I have implemented the n-level approval WF WS14000133 through the BADI BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI.
Can anyone tell me whether it is possible thorugh disable the "ADD APPROVER" and "ADD REVIEWER" button on the approval preview screen???
Regards,
Disha.

Hi Disha,
you can use BADI BBP_CHNG_AGNT_ALLOW to determine whether users can add approvers and reveiwers.
There is a sample implementation for this BADI that can be copied and an example in the documentation for this BADI.

Chris

Add Approver button disabled in SRM Shopping cart

Hello,
We have activated 2 level PC workflow. However we are facing issue that Add Approver button is not enabled.
Could anyone please advise.
Thank you
Ritesh

Hi Ritesh,
On the face of it,I have couple of points for you to check it out.
1.
Please check the agent assignment at the header level of the workflow.
Go to transaction PFTC -> Select workflow template -> 14000133 (or
whichever workflow you are using) -> Display -> Additional data ->
Agent Assignment -> Maintain -> Attributes -> Select radio button
'General Task' .. or instead of everybody being able to make changes
you can set the agent assignment of the workflow at role level.
Please also review note 581191.
2.Check if this button is not visible or not for all the roles.
3.Check any portal enhancements or Metadata config to make it display.
Thanks

Shopping Cart Add Approver option

Hi all,
We have a requirement wherein after creating a shopping cart we can add approver by using the "Add Approver" button on the top, i just want to know what is the backend function module or BADI called while adding the approver manually.
In our case the creator can add his name as approver but this should be prevented, can any one guide me how to do this......
Its very urgent and every one is highly appreciated..........
Regards,
Ravi G

Hi
Which SRM version are you using ?
If you use WS14000133 as an alternative, you can determine the list of approvers flexibly according to your particular requirements.
You do this using the method GET_REMAING_APPROVERS of BAdI BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI, with which you can integrate a logic for determining the approvers for each approval step (this can be more than one) and the number of steps in the entire approval process.
For more details, see the IMG:

Add Approver / Reviewer Button

Hello Experts - I did search the forum before posting this note and only found information that I already knew about this. The add approver, add reviewer button is displayed and works in our QA region but not in Production.
I compared the source code by right clicking on a req and found difference's between the HTML in the two regions. Also, dev shows bbpsc01/99/saplbbp_1000.html and prod bbpsc02/99/saplbbp_2000.html shows BBP_CHNG_AGNT_ALLOW badi is not active in either region and yet add approver / add reviewer works in QA. I badi is in se18 in both regions, not se19.
I ran a compare of the code in both regions for bbpsc01/99/saplbbp_sc_ui_its_100, 1000, 110, 120, 150, 1000 and 2000. No difference's found between any of them
in the two regions. I have also compared the transports in the two regions.
Any ideas, suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.

Hi Jolee,
Did u find a solution to the issue ? Please reply back.

ADD approver when WS14000109 is active.

Hey,
I have a special requirement, to add an additional approver in the shopping cart.
WS14000109 is active and working fine.
The buttons ADD APPROVER & ADD REVIEWER are existing on the screen, but not enabled.
Tried changing the security settings (0/1/2/3/4) no luck..
I have read through the posts here ......nothing works.
Did anyone resolve this.
I donot want to implement N- Step BADI...workflow.
regs

Hi,
Work flow WS14000109 which is activated in your system is a work flow
"Approval n-step over Value Limit".
In this work flow no "Adhoc Anchor" step is configuared that is why ADD approval & Add reviewer functionality is missing .
If you analyze the Workflow WS10000031 which is two step approval standard workflow in workflow builder you will find that Adhoc Anchor step.
I hope this will clarify your doubt. Do remember to award points

Dear Experts,
we are in SRM5.0 and the add approver button has been disabled using the badi bbp_chng_agnt_allow, however the current requirement is to activate this button specific to a country.Please advice on how to achieve this requirement,as we have also implemented n-badi workflow approval for shc.
Thanks and Regards,
Sathya Kumar.

Hi,
Take a help of Technical guy ( abap ) and implement the logic ( coding ) in BADI BBP_CHNG_AGNT_ALLOW
method IF_EX_BBP_CHNG_AGNT_ALLOW~AUTHORISE_FOR_CHANGE
You can use BADI BBP_CHNG_AGNT_GET : restrict / build your own list of possible agents
Thanks

Hide "Add Approver" button ?

Hi guys,
I need to hide the "Add Approver" button. Which is the best way to do this ?
Im not sure if this action is feasible via Screen Variants or if I should modify ITS templates.
Any clue?
Thank you !!!
Regards,
Diego

This can be done via the BADI BBP_CHNG_AGNT_ALLOW.
implement methods AUTHORISE_FOR_INSERT and AUTHORISE_FOR_CHANGE to block the add/change approver options.
ABAP code would be:
method IF_EX_BBP_CHNG_AGNT_ALLOW~AUTHORISE_FOR_CHANGE.
*No approver modification allowed
move 'X' to EV_CHNG_BUTTONS_DISABLED.
endmethod.
method IF_EX_BBP_CHNG_AGNT_ALLOW~AUTHORISE_FOR_INSERT.
*No addition of approver possible
MOVE 'X' to EV_ADD_BUTTONS_DISABLED.
MOVE 'X' to EV_CHNG_BUTTONS_DISABLED.
endmethod.
Regards.
