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.

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

JFileChooser in OS X: Approve Button Disabled In Empty Directory

I have written a simple extended JFileChooser-based 'wizard' to assist in working with sound files in an application. It's a JDialog, which contains a JFileChooser to which is added a file preview (player) accessory. In step 1 you choose a file. In step 2 I reset the current directory to the destination. The user then presses the approve button ad it drops a copy of the selected file into the current directory.
This works OK in Windows, but in OS X the approve button is disabled if nothing is selected in the current directory. If the destination directory is empty there is no way to get the approve button to be enabled. JFileChooser allows you to modify a few properties of the approve button, but hides the button itself. Is there any way to ensure that this button is enabled even if the current directory is empty or nothing is selected?
Thanks in advance for any ideas!

Hmm... perhaps in step 2 you could setFileSelectionMode(DIRECTORIES_ONLY) and allow the user to choose the directory?

Disable the 'Approve' button on the TRIP Tcode

Hi ,
I need to Disable the 'Approve' button on the TRIP Tcode ( Travel management) security setting. User does not want TRIP tocde to be able to approve their own trip expenses. The approval button should be enabled in PR05 but not in TRIP.
So can someone suggest me, Can we achieve this through object restriction? Or else Do we need to change the codeing with the help of ABAPer .
Thanks & Regards

Eliminate the Option from the TCode screen by using Transaction Variant and then create a Variant Transaction for that. Assign this new custom TCode to the Users.
To know more on this process, please check the following thread just discussed:

Disable the approve button when ever nonapprover login

Hi Friends,
i want to disable the approve button , when ever non approvers login into that requisitions page. please let me know, how to do. only approvers will have to see that approve button. can we achieve through OAF personalizations or Extensions.
Thanks
vamshi.

Hi,
You can extend the Controller of that page and in extended controller on page load
Capture the Requistion details and valid approvers from a Prepared Statement.
Then match the Approvers with the Login user name (pageContext.getUserName())
If the user name is not there in the valid approvers then set the disabled property of button to true,
bean.setDiasbled(true);
Thanks,

Disabling/Hiding Approve button UWL Inbox

Hi,
Currently I am working on SRM upgrade project . How to remove/hide approve button in UWL inbox.
Below xml code, using in UWL configuration file in portal:
<ItemType name="uwl.task.webflow.srm.TS90000005.SAP_SRM" connector="WebFlowConnector" defaultView="com.sap.pct.srm.core.view.tasks" defaultAction="com.sap.pct.srm.core.action.launchWD.oldwfl.cont.approve" executionMode="default">

<!<Properties><Property name="display_order_priority" value="uwlExcludeFromPreviewDetail"/></Properties></Action>>
 </Actions>
 </ItemType>
Implemented " uwlExcludeFromPreviewDetail" code in xml, but it is not working. Pls guide, how to tweak the properties definition a little bit to get it to work.
Tried by mentioning USERDECISION parameter in UWL iview exclude property.

Hello,
Have you tried to remove:
<Actions>
<Action reference="com.sap.pct.srm.core.action.launchWD.oldwfl.cont.approve" />
<!<Properties><Property name="display_order_priority" value="uwlExcludeFromPreviewDetail"/></Properties></Action>>
</Actions>
from the xml file? Then upload the new xml file with a new name with high priority to the portal? Also another thing that you can do is hide the whole descriptions section with all of the buttons. This is listed in the help documentation on how to do that.

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
Balaji

Disable approve button in jfileChooser (custom accessory)

i'm using a custom accessory in a JFileChooser. i want to listen for selection events and en/dis-able the approve button depending on the selected item. how do i access the approve button. FileChooserUI has no method, BasicFileChooser has a protected getApproveButton() method. i don't see any properties that i can fire....i guess i could just "look" within the JFileChooser for the button but that seems awkward.
any help much appreciated.

Unfortunatly you can get the button only through the UI.
Create a class extending the xxxFileChooserUI and create a method getApproveButton() :
public void getApproveButton() {
return(super.getApproveButton(null));
Through the UIManager set the good UI for JFileChooser.
I hope this helps,
Denis

Delete Button is disabled in Check status

Hi Experts,
We are on SRM 7.0 . In Check status POWL, if the shopping cart is in 'Awaiting approval' stage requisitioner can only display the cart , we want him to able to delete the cart as well but the delete button is disabled.
We have assigned 'medium' level authorization in 'BBP_WFL_SECURITY' then the user can go into the details edit it and delete it..
But we want the 'Delete' button to be enabled on POWL screen. It is enabled if the SC is in 'Saved' status.
Any clues to achieve this?
Thank you,

Deactivate 'APPROVE'   button in the ALV in RCATS_APPROVE_ACTIVITIES.

Hi all,
I am trying to deactivate 'APPROVE'   button in the ALV output of the program RCATS_APPROVE_ACTIVITIES.
Any ideas???
Thanx in advance!!!!

Hello Grigoria
The following steps are necessary to implement your requirement:
(1) Create BAdI implementation for BAdI CATS_REPORTING (i.e. class implementing interface IF_EX_CATS_REPORTING => e.g. ZCL_IM_CATS_REPORTING).
(2) Add a public method HANDLE_TOOLBAR (to your BAdI implementing class) as event handler for event TOOLBAR of CL_GUI_ALV_GRID
(3) Set method HANDLE_TOOLBAR as event handler for the CATS displaying grid instance:
METHOD if_ex_cats_reporting~before_display_appr.
SET HANDLER: handle_toolbar FOR im_alv_grid.
ENDMETHOD.
(4) Inactive the APPROVE toolbar button within the event handler method:
METHOD handle_toolbar.
* define local data
DATA: ls_button   TYPE stb_button.
LOOP AT e_object->mt_toolbar INTO ls_button.
    CASE ls_button-function.
      WHEN cl_grid_approval_actexp=>co_ok_approve.
        ls_button-disabled = 'X'.
      WHEN OTHERS.
        CONTINUE.
    ENDCASE.
    MODIFY e_object->mt_toolbar FROM ls_button INDEX syst-tabix.
ENDLOOP.
ENDMETHOD.

JFileChooser's approve button text changes when file

I have a JFileChooser used for loading some XML file(s). We want the approve button's text to be "Load". When I bring up the dialog, the button text initially reads "Load", when I select a directory, it reads "Open", if I select a file again, it goes back to "Load". So far, so good.
The problem comes when using it in a non-English language. When I bring up the dialog, the button text initially reads the appropriately translated "Load". However, when I select a directory, it changes to the English "Open". I do not see a method to use to adjust this text. Am I missing something, or is this a bug?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Jamie

Here's some code I'll put into the public domain:
package com.graphbuilder.desktop;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.util.Stack;
import java.util.Vector;
import java.util.StringTokenizer;
import java.io.File;
Attempt to improve the behaviour of the JFileChooser. Anyone who has used the
the JFileChooser will probably remember that it lacks several useful features.
The following features have been added:
<ul>
<li>Double click to choose a file</li>
<li>Enter key to choose a file after typing the filename</li>
<li>Enter key to change to a different directory after typing the filename</li>
<li>Automatic rescanning of directories</li>
<li>A getSelectedFiles method that returns the correct selected files</li>
<li>Escape key cancels the dialog</li>
<li>Access to common GUI components, such as the OK and Cancel buttons</li>
<li>Removal of the useless Update and Help buttons in Motif L&F</li>
</ul>
There are a lot more features that could be added to make the JFileChooser more
user friendly. For example, a drop-down combo-box as the user is typing the name of
the file, a list of currently visited directories, user specified file filtering, etc.
The look and feels supported are Metal, Window and Motif. Each look and feel
puts the OK and Cancel buttons in different locations and unfortunately the JFileChooser
doesn't provide direct access to them. Thus, for each look-and-feel the buttons must
be found.
The following are known issues: Rescanning doesn't work when in Motif L&F. Some
L&Fs have components that don't become available until the user clicks a button. For
example, the Metal L&F has a JTable but only when viewing in details mode. The double
click to choose a file does not work in details mode. There are probably more unknown
issues, but the changes made so far should make the JFileChooser easier to use.
