so that send each line to separate approver ?

If using AME, it should be possible. Check AME Guide for POs for details. Let me know if you run into issues.

Report - who is the current approver for purchase requisition

Hi Experts
Is there a report that can give information the status / who is the current approver for purchase requisition?
currently if we open the PR directly, we can only know the release strategy, release code, status of approver, but we cannot have the information who is the person that should approve this PR.
Thanks in advance

Hi All.
Unfortunately we want to have this information for our end user, and they will not have the access to SE16.
Another thinks is from CDHDR we will have the information if changes are made in PR. So it will give information user that already approve the PR
What we want to have is a report of outstanding PR (not yet released) that have information who is the user (the user complete name / user id) that should approve the PR.
Thanks In Advance

Budget Approver for Purchase Requisition

Hi,
In MM setup for purchase requisition, 4 levels has been setup for approving based on amount. The person who will approve is configured to be determined based on user exit (value - 9) in TCode OMGQ.
My question here is where is this user exit and how can we know to whom this PR will actually reach for approval.
Please help me out.
Regards,
Binay Agarwal

That you have to check in the Workflow settings based on the organization defined in PPOME
User exit M06B0001
you ca check the logic of user exit in SMOD
enter the above user eixt and display the component logic

Line level approval for Vouchers ?

Hello,
Can someone tell me whether it is possible to have vouchers approved by Line. Meaning different approvers for different voucher lines?
If yes, where can I find how to do it?
I tried adding the Line Level in the Transaction registery for the process ID VoucherApproval and I could select 'Line' in in my approval process setup but I always get the message 'No approval required'...
Regards,
Stijn

Hi Mano,
if you use approval. It will be approved by steps. Next step will not be started until previous completely done. In your case 1st Item should wait until all other items processed.

Using AME for Purchase Requisition Apporval transaction type

Hi ,
Product : EBS --11.5.10.2 AME B rollup 2 .
We wanted to introduce approvers based on requisition line total and a dff value on requisition line.
For that we created a line level attribute to calculate the requisition line amount Then created a test condition saying if req line total is > 1500 Introduce and approval group.
When creating a rule It says create a rule at header level So went into Approvals Management Administrator resp and changed the Configuration Variables allowAllItemClassRuleswhether AME allows to create subordinate item class rules-- Yes at transaction type Purchase requisition Approval . This allowed be to create the rule for the line level Tested real transaction on test workbench --This works fine
When tested this using the actual requisition --It gives and error "You do not have the authority to approve this requisition and an Approval List was not created automatically. Please contact your system administrator."
Error message in the log shows :
EXCEPTION:[icx.por.approval.server.ApprovalListAMImpl]:Fatal OAException:java.sql.SQLException: ORA-20001: The input ame_util.approverRecord2 does not belong to the header item class, as ame_api requires.
ORA-06512: at "APPS.POR_AME_APPROVAL_LIST", line 485
ORA-06512: at line 1
Is it the correct way to define rules ?
Is it possible to create a Header level attribute to calculate the line total or check for req total and add an approver looking at the line level req totals ?
Please suggest if any body implemented Line level approval for requisition using AME ?
If this is not the correct forum please inform which forum should i post the thread.
-Regards,
Chandra

N level-Approval for contract workflow (WS14000148) in SRM

Hi SDN'rs
I want to activate N level-Approval for contract workflow (WS14000148) in SRM
When I am creating the contract in SRM I can see the approvers in the approval preview.
But when I release the contract and look at the approval privew there are no approvers
and the status of the contract is released.
We are on SRM Server 5.5 and SP 07.
Here what I did
1. I implemented the BADI 'BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI' using the sample implementation and populated the approvers.
2. I activated events SAVED,CHANGEVERSIONSAVED for WS14000148 in OOCU transaction.
3. I see event linkages for WS14000148 for both events SAVED,CHANGEVERSIONSAVED in SWE2 transaction.
4. I assigned role SAP_EC_BBP_PURCHASER to for subworkflow N step for contract WS14000147.
( User who is creating contract has this role)
5. Consistency check for WS14000148 is green and WS14000147 is yellow in SWUD
6. Event simulation for BUS2000113 and events SAVED,CHANGEVERSIONSAVED shows WS14000148 successfully started.
I see dump in ST22 with errors TSV_TNEW_PAGE_ALLOC_FAILED and SYSTEM_NO_SHM_MEMORY with WF-BATCH is this any thing to do with that?
If any one know what are the steps I am missing please let me know.
Thanks
A S

Approval at purchase requisition level only

Hi Experts,
We want approval only at purchase requisition level and once PR is approved, PO should be created without any approval. I know we can make it happen by having release streategy at PR level and remove any release streatgy at PO level.
Please let me know if this process is OK and if someone has done similar kind of approcah. Also please advise what things we should take care while taking this approach.
Regards,
KS

It is actually a better business process to approve the purchase requisitions, but many businesses have a problem with this because historically managers manually signing the purchase order and want to replicate the legacy processes. Typically the purchase requisition is approved as the maximum price that can be paid, the purchasing personal then convert to a purchase order for this value or less.
You will need to take care of any restrictions that you wish to have on the purchasing personal when converting purchase requisitions, i.e. changing quantity, prices, fixed vendors, etc.

Custom AWE Line Level Approval Issues

Has anyone had success creating custom AWE Line Level Approval? I’m having trouble trying to get the method for line approval to fire. I have header level working so I decided to dig deeper. I added the line keys to the Xref table, Updated the Registry, Configured the Events, and created a new Process Definition using line level (very simple “Always True”). I have seen OnProcessLaunch fire so my routing has begun. The graphics look good. But when my approver goes in and hits the Approve button, it saves and nothing happens to the approval. Tracing it shows that no methods are firing. How does the system know to fire the line level method vs the header level method? Any ideas are appreciated.

Line 14: radioChange resolved - I had named my radio button
the same as the id of the field I was trying to update.
because you can't see the generated source it did not jump
out at me. then I backed some code out and my radio button lit up.
for a second I could not figure out for the life of me why
it would do that. then I remembered that in IE it will also use the
name in the getElementByID.

Is it possible to define a seperate number range for purchase requisitions

Hi Experts,
Is it possible to define a seperate number range for purchase requisitions that come from Forecast vs normal MRP requisitions so that our purchasing department can identify the origin of the document?
Thanks
for the thoughts
Sreeni

You'd need to figure out manually how forecast PR's are different from MRP PR's (the field from PR tables ) and then in the user exit I mentioned the program looks at the table T161 and field NUMKI, and if the PR getting created is from forecast change that NUMKI in the program to a different one else keep it as it is. If you're know abap programming it won't take long to figure out the logic else work with your developer to implement it.

2 level approval for workflow

Hi all,
I am supposed to make an EP workflow for 2 level approval for absences or leaves. I am using a copy of workflow WS12300111. I am able to get the single level of approval, but not the second level. When the request goes to the second approver ( which is the supervisor of first approvar), it shows the leave requests of the first approvar and when I check the workplace of the employee who applied for the leave, his leave has the status 'approved'.
In other words, when the first supervisor or approvar approves the request, it gets approved and second approvar has no option to approve it again. Please suggest what to do?
In my tasks for approval, I am using the class - CL_PT_REQ_WF_ATTRIBS and the method APPROVE. Is that correct???
Is there any other standard workflow which I can refer to?
Thanks

NO Approved found for Purchase Requisition

HI,
we have a case, employee belongs to company B and raising the PR for company A. when he / she was initiating the PR. it says "NO Approved found for Purchase Requisition". we are following the Position Hierarchy. we have only one hierarhy for the two companies Can only please let me know how to sort the issue.
regards

Hi,
Are you using positional Hierarchy for approval for your Purchasing? Please check what is the final approver's approval limit/Position
and how much he can approve ?
You will get "No approver found" when system failed to find a approver based on the amount/position in your PR/PO.
Moreover, Please review the following MOS doc.
How To Diagnose Deferred Purchase Order And Requisition Workflows? [ID 884391.1]
