History for approval process

Hi out there,
Is it possible to see the approval history of a document?
For example:
File test.txt
- 05/10/08 file created by Mr.X
- 05/11/08 submit for approval by Mr.X
- 05/12/08 rejected by Mr.Y in step1
- 05/13/08 submit for approval by Mr.X
- 05/14/08 approved by Mr.Y in step 1
- 05/15/08 approved by Mr.Y in step 2
Best regards,
Manuel

Hi,
There is no standard tool to check this information.
I would suggest that you write your own portal component to achieve this.
Look into KM API's to do this:
http://help.sap.com/javadocs/NW04S/current/km/index.html
Here you see how to access IStatemanagementUtilsResource object of each KM File (method createFolderStmgUtilsResource).
https://forums.sdn.sap.com/thread.jspa?threadID=839022
The IStatemanagementUtilsResource class has some helper methods to get infos on the state of the document.
The information "05/10/08 file created by Mr.X " is just a property on the document, so just read the property from km document (KM Property is createdby):

Provision for Approval process

Dear Experts,
I have a requirement "To be able to provision for Approval process by FInance, when role of business partner upgraded from prospect to customer"
I guess this is done through Workflow concept. but I don't have Idea in detail.
Looking forward for reply
Regards
Manu

About your questions...
1. According to my knowleadge there is no such standard functonality. But I implemented something similar in our company in the folowing way:
- prospect is created in CRM
- when prospect needs to be transformed to customer, salesman issues task with filled questionary
- finance departments receives this task and if it agrees transforms frospect to customer in ERP with VA07
2. If you mean that only certain data should be maintained by certain companies, then only via coding this could be achieved.
3. If you mean that in relatonship you define, to which organization contat person belongs, then I'm not sure. Never tried it. For employees I know it is possible so robably it could be done also for contact persons.
4. You can store documents. But if you want to have special access to this documents, then this would not be the case.
5. Yes. You can use account hierarchies for that.

Template Folder for Approval Process in KM Repository

Hi,
I have the following scenario:
There is a Folder that has been set up with an approval step and approvers.
What i need to do is to copy this folder to another location in the same repository and the approval process.
For example:
In the folder /documents/Sales/ApprovalTemplate/ is defined the following step:
STEP: Content Validation
Approvers: salesApproverGroup
I create a new folder: /documents/Sales/Presentations
Inside that folder I want to copy the folder /documents/Sales/ApprovalTemplate/. That's no problem. But when the folder is copied here: /documents/Sales/Presentations/ApprovalTemplate/ it has no more approval steps neither approvers. Whatsmore, the approval process isn't enabled.
Is there any way to manage to copy folders and copy approval process?
Thanks in advance!

Time inconsistency for approval process

This is strange.
The time to improve a new book has been improved dramatically from a few month to a few days. My latest book was approved in two days.
However, i uploaded revisions for two of my books and they are still in review for almost three weeks now, no tickets, just sitting there.
Anybody have a similar experience?

How to set up approval process for test case in SAP solution manager?

Hi Experts,
We need to setup a 2 level approval process for test case documents in SAP Solution Manager.
e.g. If test case document is uploaded for transaction "MM01" then first it will go to Reviewer1. Once Reviewer1 approves it , should go to Reviewer2.
Adn finally once reviewer2 approves it , it will be complete.
What are the required configurations and steps for approval process setup? It will be helpful if screenshots and detailed steps are provided.
Thanks.

Creation of Approval process folder in KM

Hi,
I have created a folder in KM content for the approval process under the document directory. The approval process, the notifications in UWL, emails everythign works fine. I then created a 'KM content navigation iview' for displaying this particular folder. Now the problem is I dot get the 'Submit for Approval " menu item in this iview. This menu item is normally under Selection->Approval->Submit for Approval in the KM content view.
Any ideas on how to get this done ?
All I need to do is to create a folder for approval process so that the users can create any document and submit for approval. I want this folder to be displayed via an iview where the user can submit for approval process.
Thanks
Sheril

HiParam,
I worked on a similar thing.
You just have to choos ethe right layout set for ur iview.
Modify the AdminExplorer Layout set.In AdminCollectionListRenderer choose StatemanagementMassGroup as the Mass command group.
Go to Iview 's properties and change the layout set to ur's new customised one.
I hope u know how to modify the layout set.
I hope it helps.

Skipping ' submit for Approval '

Hi ,
I am setting up a document workflow process in KM . I have a requirement as follows ..
Once a document is uploaded into the folder ( which is assigned with set of approval steps and
users ) , I need to send all the documents in that folder for approval process with out Approver admin manually clicking ' submit for Approval ' button . Is this possible by configuration or we need to write some extra code .
Any help is appreaciated .
Thanks
Aneez

Hi Aneez,
yes you will need to write some extra code. The concept would be like that:
1. you will have to implement an eventlistener which will be called, if a document is created or uploaded.
2. this event listener has to call the API of the statemanagement service in order to submit the document.
3. For each repository of interst, you can register your event listener using the getEventBroker method.
There you have to specify the events, you are intersted in.
Details:
1. class MyEventListerner implements IEventReceiver{
private static IResourceEvent CREATE_CHILD_EVENT = new ResourceEvent(ResourceEvent.CREATE_CHILD, null);
public void received(IEvent event) {
    event.isLike(CREATE_CHILD_EVENT)) {
      IResource resource = (IResource)event.getParameter();
   this.submitResource(resource);
   private void submitResource(IResource resource){
     // get the statemanagement service from the resource
      IRepositoryServiceFactory factory = ResourceFactory.getInstance().getServiceFactory();
IStatemanagementManager statemanagement =
      (IStatemanagementManager)factory.getRepositoryService(resource, IWcmConst.STATEMANAGEMENT_SERVICE);
IStatemanagementResource sResource =
statemanagement.getStatemangementResource(resource)
IResourceTransition transition = sResource.getTransition("lbl.submit")
// if everything is correct than transition is not null
if (transition != null) transition.execute();
Please keep in mind, that this is only a scatch how it may work. You have to ensure, that the statemanagement is enabled for the parent folder of the resource. Otherwise, the transition may be null or not executable.
I hope this helps.

Approval process QUERY - Please help guys....

Hello Experts,
I have found some threads in this subject but non of them seem to work for me.
My need is :
when my employee tries to turn an order into an Invoice witch its card is set to groupname of 'over seas clients' the invoice will not be produced and the approval pop up will show.
this is what i tryed :
SELECT distinct 'true' FROM OINV T0 INNER JOIN OCRD T1 ON T0.CardCode = T1.CardCode INNER JOIN OCRG T2 ON T1.GroupCode = T2.GroupCode AND T2.GroupName 'Over seas clients' where T0.CardCode = $[$4.0.0]
nothing happens and the approval pop up never shows up.
Could someone Please help me with this query?
Thanks alot
D.med

I thin approval process work like in this manner.
when you add any SO for particular condition matches then approval pop up will come, and then that SO gone to Approval. After approval user can able to make Invoice.
Hence i think in your case you need to made a query in SO that when the particular groupname is added then aproval should pop up.
Else you can kept the approval process in AR Invoice that if particular groupname is added then pop up.
For Approval process you need to select this query in Approval Template.

Approval status of PR is in process, but action history show 'Approve'

Dear all,
I am on EBS 11.5.10.2 and encountered a problem during the approval process of PR.
The approval hierarchy with PR is planner -> approver1 -> approver2,
and approver2 is the final approver.
Everything of the approval process is OK except that the action performed
by approver1 shown in Action History is 'Approve', but not the appropriate
'Forword'.
Sequence Performed By Action Approval Status
0 planner Submit
1 planner Forward In Process
2 approver1 Approve In Process <---- Here the 'Approve' action should be shown as 'Forward'
3 approver2 Approve Approved
Any ideas will be greatly appreciated!
Regards,
Henry Huang

For requisitions the action taken by the approver is recorded. If they click on Approve, the same is recorded in action history.Shivaraj, for POs with the similar position hierarchy, if the approve1 click on Approve, action history does show 'Forward'.
Do you mean the action taken by the approver1 is different between Requisitions and POs?

N-step approval process for PO in SRM 7

Here are a couple of questions I have regarding N-Step approval configuration for PO in SRM 7 Process Controlled Workflow:
1) It's our business requirement that the last-change person of the PO is defined as the first approver in the chain. I tested with RR_EMPLOYEE and a hard-coded user BP number (my own), but got error "Strategy RR_EMPLOYEE did not determine any approver". Changing to any other user's BP number worked. So I am guessing the buyer himself can not be an approver. Since this is a business requirement, we wouldn't mind developing enhancement to work around this restriction. If you could point me to the place where this is checked, that would help me.
2) I have set up the process level configuration as such:
100     ZEV_PO_SL_APPR_001     PO approval level 1     RR_EMPLOYEE     Specify Employee for Approval
200     ZEV_PO_SL_APPR_002     PO approval level 2     RR_MANAGER     Get Creator's Line Manager for Approval
300     ZEV_PO_SL_APPR_003     PO approval level 3     RR_MANAGER     Get Creator's Line Manager for Approval
The corresponding expressions are simply checking against the PO total value, such as -
0V_PO_POTOTALVALUE >= 0 AND 0V_PO_POTOTALVALUE < 1,000
0V_PO_POTOTALVALUE >= 1,000 AND 0V_PO_POTOTALVALUE < 25,000
0V_PO_POTOTALVALUE >= 25,000
But when I checked the Approver list with a PO with total value > 50,000, only the first level is triggered and listed. And once approved, the PO went into "Ordered" status. But it should have gone through 3 levels of approval. I'd greatly appreciate it if you could point out what might have been wrongly defined in my configuration.
Thanks!

SAP recently released the consultant OSS note to handle this issue.. when the release the SRM 7.0 , SC requestor or PO creator ( Buyer ) cant be in the approval list.. later on they release a OSS note to handle this issue.. 1551561\

100     ZEV_PO_SL_APPR_001     PO approval level 1     RR_EMPLOYEE     Specify Employee for Approval

once you implement the OSS note Q1, you can build the custom RR resolver to handle this issue with in one process level.. but you have to implement the process level BADI as well.. please refer /SAPSRM/BD_WF_PROCESS_PO badi for more details

How to use a pwa group in CREATE A TASK PROCESS in SPD 2013 for project server workflow approval process

I am working on a Project Server 2013 workflow. I am creating this using Sharepoint Designer 2013. In this workflow I am using approval process at one stage. I have created a security group SalesManagers in PWA. I want to use this group for workflow approval
process. I want all users of this group get approval tasks.
For this I used START A TASK PROCESS activity in the SP Designer. I clicked on
this user and created task process. But here I could not find SalesManager group which I created in PWA. I was only able to find the users. I can also see
Administrators for PWA . But couldnot find SalesManager or any other security group created in pwa.
Can anyone suggest how I can get the security group created in pwa.

NBDevelopment,
I believe SPD only recognizes the SharePoint Groups and not the project server security groups.
The Administrators for PWA, and few other groups like Project Managers for PWA etc., are synced SharePoint Groups with the security groups, which is why they show up in SPD.
You could create a SharePoint Group for the Sales Managers group and use that in SPD.
