Hiding Tasks in the Approval Details

I noticed the default "Provide Information" step appears in my Approval Details. Thisis meaningless to end-users. Is there any way to hide it?

requestApprovalDetail.jsp has 2 lines of code. Its not at all what I'd call editable. Any other suggestions?

Approver Details Not Visible After Changing the Approval Process

Hi Gurus,
This expense report belongs to an open approval task when an approval process has ended its validity date.
After a new approval process is activated, all pending approval tasks experience the issue of approver details not showing.
In order to reproduce following steps need to be done :
1. Deactivate the current approval process and activate the new approval process.
2. When the status of the recently deactivated approval process is "Ended With Open Tasks", go to the "Show Open Approval Tasks" to
see the open approval tasks.
3 Check the Cost Assignment area for expense report which is in the open approval tasks.
3. Approver Details are available.
4. The approver sees the expense report on his/her approval list.
Once the approver approves, it doesn't go out of his/her approval list and the expense report is still pending for approval.
To determine if the expense report has no other pending approval from anyone else, there should be the approver
details but the issue is it doesn't show up.
The expense report is also stuck on the approver's approval list even after approving.
Workaround provided to the Customer: Recall the ER and submit again for approval.
But as per customer there should be a background job to refresh the expense report to reflect the approval details.
And issue should not occur as explained on the point 4.
Kindly suggest if anything is possible to improve the system behavior.

Rahul Mishra

Hi Rahul,
Although we have a workaround, I believe a permanent solution has to be implemented.
In cases when an expense report has more than one approver (for example there are 4 approvers) and the 3 approvers had already approved, I think it will not be good to recall the expense report and resubmit because the traveler will have to seek for approval again from all the approvers.

Adobe form with approver details

Hi All,
I have designed one Adobe form for offline scenario. Once the user fills the data he will send to one emaild in R/3 which I have already configured to receive mails with attachment. Then it should trigger work flow.
Here my requirement is , this PDF will be approved by first approver and then by second like that. I would like to get all the approver details in PDF itself. so, that when we do archive or when we take print , we can have full history of approvals.
Can some body tell me how can we acheive this?
Appreciate your help
Regards,
Ravi

This issue is resolved. This was due to loading a large data set to the form.

Approval preview not displaying approval details in 'Check Status'

Hi All,
I am facing an issue in the below scenario:-
First a requestor creates an Advice Special Request Form which goes to a purchaser for approval. The purchaser rejects this item and adds a new item by creating a special request form and fills in correct details. While he does this, the cost assignment for the items is different(multiple cost center assignment). Then he approves this Shopping cart. When the requestor Accepts the Changes, he is not able to view the approver details. But once he clicks on change option, then the approval details are shown in the approval preview.
Is there any way that the approval details are shown when the user clicks on the 'Approval preview' as the SC has already gone for approval to the manager? Is there any particular reason why only in change mode he can see the approval details?

Dear Poster,
As no response has been provided to the thread in some time I must assume the issue is resolved, if the question is still valid please create a new thread rephrasing the query and providing as much data as possible to promote response from the community.

Get approver details in doc check

Is there any way to get the current approver and corresponding item guid determined by the system in doc check badi?

Hi Saravanan,
I am getting the approvers in the method GET_APPROVERS_BY_AREA_GUID via Z class which is a copy of /SAPSRM/CL_IM_WF_RR_CCTR_SC
Now in this method I am getting the approver details from ECC, if no approver details is found I want to throw a error in the SC saying no approvers found. Since I could not pass any error message via that method I wanted to implement a check in doc_check badi if there is an approver against a line item, if not then it will show error to the user. Instead of calling and using the entire logic again in doc_check badi I wanted to check if any method can be used to retrieve the approver for the item during runtime.

To get the approver and Verifier details

Hi Experts,
I am working on the Travel and expenses module. We are having 2 workflows. One is for the Travel Request and the other is for Travel Expenses.
The employee raises a TR and it gets approved. After it is approved, the employee goes and submit the expenses. It goes to the verifier who after approving the same goes to the approver. The approver approves the TE.
The person who approves the TR and who approves the TE can be different. In the existing application, we are not able to get in the DB tables as to who the approver of TR and TE is as the value is overwritten in the DB table.
Now they want to develop a report program which shud tell us as to who is the approver of TR , the approver of TE and who is the Verifier. This report program is run at the end of the month.
I have been told that we can get teh data from the work items and display the same in the report. There will be work item ID's created in SWI1 and we can use them to get the details for the same.
Could you please guide me as to what the approach and the DB tables would be to get the data of the same. In essence, i would like to know as to the workflow tables through which I can get the data.
First of all, i would like to know if this approach would be feasible......as along with these fields there are many other fields that are to be displayed in the report.....
Is it possible to use the work item details and the SAP workflow tables to get the data? Will it be possible to get the data from the work item .....i would like to know as to how we can query on the work item data to get the relevant approvers and verifiers.....pls note that the report wud be run at the month end to get all the data pertaining to the Travel and Expenses.
Thanks in advance for all the help.

Hi
As your business is more bothered about the report generation at the end of every month about who is approver's of TR and TE then as soon as the work item is executed why you do not try to update a custom table with all the travel related details and the approver's. you can achieve this by making use of Program exits..I think this is more reliable way to handle your requirement and there will not be any kind of ambiguity in getting the information regarding the approver's
I seriously suggest you to make use of the Program exits technique in the workflow. So that you can access all the travel specific information and store it in a Z table.

Remove the last task of the stand approval process workflow in SharePoint Designer

Hello,
I am building a workflow in SharePoint Designer. I have added the standard approval process that comes stock in SharePoint. I also have the approval set up to handle change requests. This is where my issue is. A user can eather approve
a document or request changes(according to some limitations i have in place on the InfoPath form). If they approve, the workflow is complete. If they request a change, a request change task gets assigned to another user. This other user then
completes their review and submits their response. this then kicks off the approval process again to the original user to approve.
1. User A recieves approval form - requests a change
2. User B recieves Form - submits that changes have been made
3. User A recieves another approval form - then can approve
I am looking for a way to eliminate step number 3. I want User B to be able to complete the approval when he submits the changes. I tried copying and pasting the approve button from the default infopath view onto the view that UserB
sees, which has a data submit action when the button is clicked. This did not work.
Any ideas would help

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to add a “request a change” button in the Task Form.
If you can cutomize the task form, I recommend to add button directly and then add conditions and rules to the button.
After you add the “request a change” button, the workflow is similar to the
Multiple Approval Workflow.
Here is a great blog for your reference:

System users name in the approval task description

Hi,
Please let me know how we can get the user name in the approval task decription in the workflows.
For example: the user currently gets the mail: Dear Approver ,please approve the PO.
We would like instead o Dear Approver the users name should be displyed.
Pls advise.
Thanks.

Hey Muthu,
The problem is that the users are already in the system, assigned to a node and ordered shopping carts. The users changed their names by using the personal settings but still the PPOMA is not updated correctly. The US-users are updated but the Business Partner as well as the PPOMA-user remains wrong.
We are using SRM 4.0.
Thanks in advance
Jens

Problem: The approver does not show in the approval preview after the shopping cart is saved, however before saving the shopping cart it shows the approver in the approval preview. We are using two workflows: WS10000060 Auto approval and WS10000276- 1 level spending limit approval.
Details of the problem:
The following steps specify the problem in detail , it is applicable for both the workflows WS10000060 Auto approval and WS10000276- 1 level spending limit approval.
1.     Shopping created
2.     The approval preview shows the approver ( please see #1 in the attached document) before saving the shopping cart.
3.     Shopping cart is saved.
4.     After saving , Check status transaction shows the shopping cart in status awaiting approval
5.     The section approval shows No workflow started , application error occurred
6.     T.Code SWI1 shows the workitem created for the shopping cart but in error.
7.     The work item container does not show any agents
I would appreciate it anyone can reply as to how to fix it ASAP.

Hi Disha,
I have synchronised through SWU_OBUF several times since yesterday , but still at the same place.
In the workflow customising - The only red entry which I have is for check entries from HR control tables under Mainiatin definition env. and Mainiatin guded procedure for gateway under guided procedure (new in SRM 5.0) .The verification workflow works fine . Also I think these entries will not impact the workflow functionalhese were red even in my earlier system .
SLG1 shows all green entries and there are no entries in RZ20.
I have specified task TS10008126 as general task as I want anyone who is identified by SLAapprover should be able to process the workitem and as per documentation I can specify this task as standard task.
What should I do.. , anything am I missing .
Thanks and Best Regards

"No administrator found for the task" in the front end

Hi all,
My issue is, whenever approval request is raised from the front end ( JAVA WEB-DYNPRO), it triggers the workflow through the "sap_wapi_start_workflow" and when the workflow proceeds to the first level of approval, the front end application provides the approver with Approve and Reject options.
On click of approve, from the java webdynpro, the approve status is written in the container using "sap_wapi_write_container" and then a call is made to "sap_wapi_workitem_complete". Upon excution, the message line is "No administrator found for the task" and the return code is "1".
But if we do the same steps from the backend (R/3), the workitem is getting completed without any such error.
Please advice.
Thanks.

Hi Balaji,
I think I have an answer for you. This has happened with us when approving a WD java task using UWL (in our case for travel). The key is the return code of 1.
What has happened is this. The return code actually comes from the function SWW_WI_STATUS_CHANGE_NEW which is called deep in the WAPI wrapper. It means "infeasible_state_transition = 1".
This is due to the fact that after updating the container, your wapi call from web dynpro tries to change the workitem from status of "Ready" to status "Completed". This will not work.
What you will have to do is call "SWW_WI_STATUS_CHANGE_NEW" to set the status to 'SELECTED' beofre setting the item to complete.
The reason for this is that when you are executing from R3, the status change is done for you. When calling from the WD, no reservation of the workitem occurs.
Sorry about last night, I live well outside of town and the phone reception at my place is poor.
Regards
Gareth
