Incoming Invoice approval mail
Hi,
We have a scenario in which when a supplier creates an invoice then a mail is send to invoice approval.
I want to know how this mail is triggered. Any settings for it? Any settings to configure the recipient list for the mail?
Thanks & Regards,
Mayank Agarwal
Thanks Sanjeev for your reply.
I want to change the agent who receives the mail.
I went into SWDD and used 2 workflow templates:-
WS10000211
WS10000093
In both of the above I couldnt find the step "First approval".
Can you please help me in this regard?
Thanks,
Mayank Agarwal

Item Level Approval in Incoming Invoice
Hi Gurus,
I am new to the concepts of workflow and really dont have good experince to take up this job. But still I want to give my best shot and see if I can do.
I am trying to accomplish item level approval for incoming invoice using business object FIPP. I have below mentioned questions in this regards,
1) Is it possible to achive item level approval for incoming(vendor) invoice using business object FIPP?
2) If <b>YES</b> , Please provide me with some hints on how to achieve it.
3) Is there any BADI available to enalbling this functionality?
Any kind of help in this regard is highly appreciated and rewarded.

sapna madhuriYour solution design must of course depend on the functional requirements (specification). I can not (will not, I have a job to attend to even if I tend to spend too much time here on SDN sometimes) tell you everything that is involved in the workflow builder, nor what the graph should look like.
There is not one answer to these questions. You can probably find several (more than two) different technical solutions that meet the requirements. Not all will be equally elegant. Not all will be equally robust. Not all will be equally maintainable. Some will give a higher system load than others. And so on, and so on. <b><u>You</u></b> have to make the choices, not some fellow SDN-er far away from you and your customer.
<b>First question:</b> is approval of level 1 and 2 approvers performed independently for each item or depending on the previous level being completed (i.e. must all level 1 approvers approve before relevant items are sent to level 2 approvers)?
If they are handled independently, you can create a subworkflow and use dynamic parallel processing to instantiate it for all items. If there is dependence, you can perhaps use two dynamic parallel processing steps, first for level 1 approvers and then for level 2 approvers.
<b>Second question:</b> what happens if an approver rejects an item?
There is no easy way out, you have to spend time to find out what the best solution is. I'm not here to spoon-feed anyone any solutions, but I don't mind telling what my ideas are. OK, once in a while I will actually give someone a complete solution, like many others here, but that's mostly to very specific and limited questions. Your query is very broad and nearly unlimited in scope. -
Incoming invoice not get posted through workflow
Hi Experts,
I am working on workflows for incoming invoice used by bus2081. i am facing the problem when the user clicks on post button after verifying the invoice the workitem not posted .and is it showing debit and credit miss match . while posting it with out workflow the document was posted with out error even debit credit miss match
please give me the solution to overcome from this problem .
Thanks
SreenathHi,
It seems to be authorisation issue.
Compare the invoice values which user is able to approve and not.
Maybe he doesn't have enough authorisation limit to post those invoices.
Ask him to do it from SBWP backend inbox.
If it is not going from his inbox means, check the SU53 t code after he clicks on post button.
Then see in SU53 whether any authorisation is missing.
It's not a workflow issue. If there is an issue in workflow means, he should not be able to post any invoices.

Creating of incoming invoice automatically when documen info record created
Hi all,
I apologize because I am asking many questions on this forum during the last few weeks, but I have some problems which I can't solve by myself in one project.
So, this time the question is about incoming invoices.
Here is the situation:
When our customer receives incoming invoice (in paper form) we scan it and send it to one Document management system. In that system we verify the invoice and approve it. After that step the document is released to SAP (only the document info record is created and that info record points to the original document (pdf file) in that DMS).
Now the question is:
Is it possible to automatically create incoming invoice (parked) when the document is released to SAP (it+s document info record created) and to create link between these two SAP objects? Basically it means that at the moment when doc. info record is created, the incoming invoice is created (only with mandatory data) and saved (parked).
We need this functionality because our client wants to have the access to original document (pdf file) when he is about to finish the incoming invoice.
So, is it possible to set up some parameters so that incoming invoice is created automatically after the document info record is created, and linked to that document info record?I was not aware that u have already done coding to create DIR in SAP. In that case u don't need to rely on status triggering, u may create the invoice prior to DIR creation and then link it to the DIR.It can be done in the way u have mentioned. I.e. linking at the time of DIR with BAPI_DOCUMENT_CREATE.
I doubt we have any direct link to Incoming Invoice from DIR. One of the options i can think of is linking DIR to EKPO(Purchase Order Item) which is mentioned in Invoice.
Else u may need to add another object with object table "RBKP"
Following link will help u in creating new Object for development of new screens [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/c1/1c31a243c711d1893e0000e8323c4f/frameset.htm]
BAPI_DOCUMENT_CREATE2 is the latest BAPI instead of BAPI_DOCUMENT_CREATE.
Points Appreciated. -

Unable to send emails on APPRV - AP Invoice Approval workflow. r12
Hi,
This is on r12.1.3. The Invoice approval workflow is not sending notification emails. We have tried all we could but email notifications are simply not going out.
Steps executed.
1. Make sure email addresses are valid
2. Make sure all email preferences are set to receive emails
3. WF_NOTIFICATION_OUT was cleared and rebuilt two times
4. Ran WFSTAT.sql for complete diagnostics but shows nothing.
5. Workflow log file shows nothing suspicious.Despite of all this we are not able to receive emails. We need to send notification emails when an Invoice in AP is in "Initiated Approval" state. The strange thing is that this issue is only with payable invoice approval workflow. All other workflows are receiving emails just fine.
Please advise.
DCan you find any errors in the Workflow log file?

AP Invoice Approval - Notification to originator/requestor
Dear All,
I would like to customize the APINVAPR (AP Invoice Approval) to send FYI notification to requestor when the request is rejected?
I've check in the current item type, there is no requestor information, how do i start?
Thanks
Rgds
UngHi,
Your question : Is this option available in 11i also or in R12 only ?
Ans : Yes available in both 11i and R12..
Q: Do we need to do anything with the PO Approval Workflow to get this notification ?
Ans : Hope you have done appropriate setup in Document Type (Purchasing>Setup>Purchasing>Document Types)..
PO WF is basically derived from the Document type. In the Document type attribute e.g. say Purchase Order Standard Approval Workflow is normally set as : PO Approval and Workflow Startup Process as : PO Approval Top Process..
we believe below are the prerequisite for WF to send mail for approval...
- Make sure notification mailer is up and running
- WF background process is scheduled
Kind Regards,

AP Invoice Approval- Approve button gives error
Hi all,
I work on oracle applications 11.5.10 and we have modified the AP Invoice approval workflow APINV to send mail notifications to approver.
The mail is sent to a approver mail address in Microsoft outlook web app as intended. But when the approver clicks on APPROVE or REJECT button, we get an error as below.
I could see all the listener agents are up and running. Could anyone please shed some light on this issue.
Error:
Your request couldn't be completed.
This may have occurred for security reasons or because your session timed out.
Thanks,
VickySurehi,
please open a service request with oracle support to analyze the problem.
in portal 10.1.4 we offer an easy way of doing this with our new CMEF (content management event framework). you can easily check for pending items and send out an email.

Hi,
I defined a new "Terms of Payment" in configuration and defined the appropriate cash discount percentage rate. I also created a customer master record and assigned the newly created terms of payment. Using this new master record, I successfully posted an invoice in AR using FB70. Now, I am trying to post an incoming invoice using F-28. But for some reason unknown to me, the terms of payment (that I just created and assigned to the customer master record) is not being shown in the "Post Incoming Payments Process Open Items" screen in the Cash discnt field.
I have no problems posting the invoice without the cash discount percentage rate. However, when I manually try to give a discount rate, I get a warning message that says Cash discount-relevant amount is zero; check entry at the bottom left corner of the screen. When I click this warning, I get a pop-up screen with the same message and message no. F5073.
I am sure I am missing a key configuration step in this process, but am not able to understand where. Any light you can throw on this situation is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Vijay.Hi,
In the FB70 you can see the payment term in the tab Payments in the header data.
In F-22, the payment term is displayed in the screen where you enter the amount for customer invoice.
For payment transaction F-28 is not relevant as payment term is entered in invoice and the discount etc for that invoice is calculated based on that payment term. In F-28 you are just making the payment for the net amount. However you can change the discount amount here.
( Also check that in transaction OB41, Payment term is maintained as optional field in field status group Payment Transactions for posting key 31.
Also go to FS00 for the reconciliation account assigned to your vendor, the go to tab 'Create/bank/interest" and double click on the field status gorup.Check that in group Payment Transactions, the field Payment term is marked as optional field.)

EDI - Incoming Invoice Error and GR based Invoice Verification - 51 No GR
Hi,
We are implementing EDI for incoming invoices and use Goods Receipts based Invoice Verification. When processing an inbound IDOC Invoice (type INVOIC01) where the Goods Receipt has not yet been posted, then Inbound IDOC is siiting at Error Status, 51 - No GR documents found.
Is there any way we can process this as a Parked Invoice or for Verification in the background (MIRA)? because the current situation is a problem, as 95% of our Inbound Invoices will be received electronically before the Goods are Received.
The actual Vendor's delivery note is stored in the segment E1EDP02 (Qualifier 016), field BELNR.
Currently the IDOC as to sit in error until the Vendor's Delivery Note is Goods Receipted which can be several days later - SAP OSS Note 393883 fro 2001 suggests doing this, but surely this is a common situation. The IDOC sitting in error in WE02 in the list of IDOCs is difficult to isolate from true errors.
If this is was mnaul Invoice it could be processed through MIRA for background Invoice Verification later with program RMBABG00.
We havd SAP version ECC 6.0
I have spotted OSS Note 501524 which implies that is possible automatically Park Incoming EDI IDOC Invoices, has anyone tried this? and what would be the transaction/program that could be used to post several at once when the GR has been processed (similar to RMBABG00)Hi ,
You can use the program RBDMANI2 which will reprocess all the IDOCs (EDIinvoices )that have failed . You can schedule this program in the background and it will post all failed invoices which have the GR posted later .
We had the same scenario and we have scheduled this program as a daily job at night .
