  • How to start approval procedure for a Document/Draft using DI API

    Hi!
    My code imports purchase orders from one non-B1 system to SAP B1 using DI API. The problem is that in B1 system there is an approval process configured and I need the newly created purchase order to enter this approval process.
    Currently this is not done because approval procedure isn't triggered when creating documents using DI API.
    I had an idea to create a draft of PO instead of the PO and then push this draft into approval process somehow. But I can't find a way how to tell DI API to start approval procedure for my draft/document.
    Thank you for your replies!

    Unfortunately there is no way to trigger the approval process for any object added through the DI API.
    Your workaround of adding the documents as drafts is as close as you can really come but maybe you could extend it slightly - it will involve a UI API addon:
    Make the addon mandatory, and add a UDF to the user table, for example "U_Approver" and a UDF to PO document, like "U_Approval"
    - Set this U_Approval to yes when adding through DI and add as draft
    - When user opens draft document in the application, check are they an approver (U_Approver = "Y")
    - If they are not, and try to view/add a draft which is flagged as needing approval, block them from adding.
    You could further expand your DI project to send a mail to the approver whenever a draft PO is added.

  • How to create approval procedure when saved as draft?

    How can I create an approval procedure where the document is saved as draft?
    Specifically, returns saved as draft where document total is greater than $3,000 need approval.
    Thanks

    Hi,
         Approval Procedures cant be used in draft mode. Approval Procedure itself acts as document in draft. It wont do inventory postings & financial postings as well. Just create approval procedure with your requirement & try.
    I am looking forward your reply,

  • How to delete Approval procedure Template,

    I have created one Approval procedure templete in which unfortunately i have taken manager as origenator.
    I have to delete this Procedure template.
    It is urgent.
    Thanks.

    i dont know if this is the right way...
    but there is 2 way i know of,
    1. use query analyser and change the originator from manager to someone else
    something like this
    update wtm1 set userid = '2' where wtmcode = '[code]' and userid = '1'
    2. give another user the autorization to modify the approva procedure which is not in the originator

  • Approval procedure for Outgoing payment

    Dear all expert,
    I want to know how to make approval procedures for outgoing payment. So, everytime user create outgoing payment, it can't be printed until it's approved by Chief Acct. Where do i set this approval, because i see in the approval module, there is no  outgoing payment document.
    Thanks

    I have checked that, at least until 2007A version PL49 Outgoing payment has not yet added to Approval Template.  You may use SP Transaction Notification to block some users for posting.
    Thanks,

  • How Assigned TO field will be updated in "start Approval process" Task Action

    I have created a reusable workflow in sharepoint designer. Am using “start Approval process“ Task Action. I have a question in “start Approval process“ Task Action.
    I have username field in the list.  I have created a task form field with name username in “start Approval process“ Task Action. I have assigned list username field to task field username field.
    I have entered a user details in list user name field for new list item. Once the workflow has been started for that item a mail has been sent to the user whose name I have entered in the list user name field. Task has been assigned to the user whose name
    I have entered in the list user name field.
    When I have checked start Approval process task a send mail activity is present (Email Task notification currentitem:Assigned TO) .
    I have not update Assigned To field explicitly.
    1. Where / how the Assigned TO field is getting updated ?
    2. Workflow Initiation and task creation will be done internally by the user who created the item in the list?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you had questions about the “start Approval process“ Task Action.
    When you add the “start Approval process“ Task Action, you need to to select the user who the task assign to.
    To assign the user whose name you have entered in the list user name field, you add action as below:
    After you select the user, the Assigned TO field is getting updated.
    In addition, workflow Initiation and task creation will be done internally by the user who created the item in the list.
    Thank you for your understanding.
