Goods confirmation workflow is awaiting for approval

Hi Gurus,
while confirm the goods/service when try to check the document i am getting a message as the document is free from errors but when i click on confirm the history is showing as " waiting for approval" but when i go to item details and click on approval button it is showing as "error in process".
Has anybody experienced this type of problem?.
Thanks,
mahesh

Hello Mahesh,
You can verify the status of the Confirmation document through BBP_PD transaction.
The confirmation status if the Awaiting approval should not yet checked.
hence please check the status of the workflow related to the same confirmation in swi6 TRANSACTION.
Try to complete the Workflow manually if the workflo is stucked.
Then verify the status of the docment
let me know if u have any difficulties in the above.
Regards,
Krish

  • Confirmation ending in Awaiting for Approval Status

    Hi Experts,
    The Confirmation of Goods receipt was working fine till last month. Now For some PO's Confirmation is going to Awaiting for Approval status this is happening only for few PO's and for others PO's Confirmation is happening properly and the status is Posted in Backed.
    I observed that Workitem ID is not created for those confirmation's which are in Awaiting for Approval Status. 
    Please help me resolve this issue.
    Any valuable inputs are Appreciated.
    Thanks and Regards,

    Hi,
      First point if you make a GR confirmation means the PO change version will be generated and the PO  workflow will restart for the PO change version.
      Goto BBP_PD  and enter PO number check the PO change version is closed or not. If it is not closed then PO change version workflow will be in Error. If it is in Error then GR confirmation workitem will not be genrated.
    all these things will happen because of if you create a GR confirmation or any changes made to PO when the PO status is still in Transfer status.

  • SC status is still in Awaiting for Approval Even after PO and confirmation creation.

    Hi Experts,
    We have SRM 7.0 with Classic scenario, Here we have strange case where for One SC already backend PO created and Confirmation is done. Still SC status is showing as Awaiting for approval. Kindly Help me to solve this issue.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Basu,
    What is the workflow framework that your are using. Is  it application controlled workflow?
    1.     Go to T code BBP_PD and check if the workflow triggered for the shopping cart is in in-Process status. If it is in in-process status copy the header workitem and go to T code SWPC , remove all the values displayed in the selection screen just enter the header work item ID and execute.  If you are able to see any entry after execution select it and click on continue workflow. this will fix your problem.
    2.     Check in transaction SM58 to see if there are any failed entry on the day of shopping cart creation , if there is any entry in failed status please reprocess the LUW.
    hopefully any one of the above steps will fix your issue.

  • Shopping cart in status awaiting for approval

    HI ,
    Scenario is
    case 1     SC is created and ordered, but status is having awaiting for approval.
                    when we did dummy changes in SC and ordered, then we got approved stattus.
    my problem why in first case work flow is not started .
    Appreciate your efforts and will be rewared.
    Regards
    Ramakrishnaiah Y

    Hi,
    When you ordered the cart first, did you check if a workflow was started?
    BBP_PD -> SWI6
    If a workflow was started then expand the workflow in the technical workflow log to see if there are any errors in the log.
    If the workflow was not started then check with the start conditions to see if they match the first cart cart. Refer to note 322526 for other checks to carry out.
    Which release are you using?

    Hello Mahesh,
    If the error message is like Error when processing node '0000000241' (ParForEach index 000000), check the note 962488 "Workflow definition '&' not in version '&'".

  • PO Awaiting for approval

    Hi
    We are on SRM 5.0 , configuring Extended classic scenario. After SC is approved , even if I assign the vendor while creating the SC , it always creates a incomplete PO and it is in Held status. When Purchaser Logs in and Process the PO, add the vendor and order the PO, it always says that "Awaiting approval". I have configured the "No Approval Workflow" for PO, but still it goes for approval. When I check for the approval inbox, a work item "Create PO" appears in my inbox. I could not process the workitem only forward button is available.
    Please help me to solve this issue.

    Hello,
    Check in BBP_PD the workflow that has been triggered.
    Then, check in SWB_COND the workflow start condition for event CHANGEVERSIONSAVED for BUS2201.
    Start condition for change version should not be fine.

  • Vendor Confirmation workflow ( TS00008075 ) issue for IDOCs in Error ( 51 )

    Hi All,
              When IDOCs (Basic type: ORDERS02, Message type : ORDRSP ) goes in error with status 51 & comes to SAP system it calls event  u2018INPUTERROROCCURREDu2019  which is correct but it creates problem when it get re processed as it triggers event u2018INPUTSUCCESSu2019 resulting in firing vendor confirmation workflows to respective user ( this batch job re process each ORDRSP IDOC twice a day & hence 2 workflows per IDOC in error to clientu2019s inbox by triggering event u2018INPUTSUCCESSu2019).
    Could you please tell me why these IDOCs are triggering event u2018INPUTSUCCESSu2019 in case of error ( status 51 ) when they get RE PROCESSED. These kind of Idocs must only trigger u2018INPUTERROROCCURREDu2019  once  and should not create anything when these get reprocessed. Please note that these issues arise after EHP4 upgrade. Please let me know if any setting is there for triggering Vendor COnfirmation workflow ( TS00008075 ) when IDOCs in error get re processed.
    Please help us , thanks.
    Regards,
    Kartikey Rawat.

    Hello Kartikey Rawat !
                        INPUTSUCCESS  event gets fired just because it is configured as terminating event in the task.
                        If you don't want this event to get fired, either you can deactivate it  or delete the bindings related to the event  INPUTSUCCESS(doing so should not affect other two terminating events that may be required for you scenario) .
                        If you want know why it is fired, you can get to know in debug mode or check whether the event is defined through  related function modules configured in WE57,BD51,WE42 AND WE20 transaction codes.
                        In WE05 or WE02 transactions, you will get error description.Based on it too, you can figure out the reason.

  • Shopping cart is awaiting for approval even it does not need

    Hello friends,
    I am doing configuration to srm 5.0 .
    my shopping cart is waiting for approval even it doesnot need approval.
    Even when i create direct material purchase order the PO is going to approval.
    i have clearly defined the start conditions.
    what could be the possible reasons for this situation.
    Thank you in advance for your valuble suggestions.
    with regards,

  • Desk top Goods Confirmation in SRM portal

    Hi Friends,
    Need your help on the following query
    1. In R/3,  if I want to make one GR (MIGO) for more than one PO it is possible. i.e. one GR can have more than one items of different PO 
    Similarly , if I want to make GR through SRM (classic Scenario) , i.e.  Desk Top  goods confirmation through SRM portal,can I select more than one PO and do single confirmation?. So that it will create only one GR in R/3 . Is it possible?
    2. While making Desk Top goods confirmation in SRM portal for a PO , we can change the FI  posting  date  ( nothing but GR posting date in R/3) through Header data -->Basic data.
    If there are  more than One PO and I want to change the FI Posting date for all PO, is it possible to do it mass change instead of going to each PO and change the date?     
    Thx in advance
    Deva

    Hi Deva,
    Yes You can do one GR for mulitple PO's in sRM.
    Just go to Confirm goods/services and select the po's and create a invoice.
    Thanks
