Is workflow mandetory for shopping carts and contracts approvals srm7

hi
in SRM 7 are workflows mandetory for approvals of Shopping carts andContracts?
I understand you need an approved workflow to turn a SC to a PO.
is workflow required for approval of shopping carts or can approvals be done manually
you create the SC and you communicate and look at the sc and approve it
Same type of question for workflow in contracts for approval ?? is it mandetory or optional (manual achieve approvals)
cheers

Hello Alex,
SRM 7 has process controlled workflow and its easy to configure for simple requirement.
Yes, Shopping cart approval will be required to change status of SC to approved. Though it can be as simple as auto approval. SAP delivers number of standard BC Set for approvals including auto approval of SC.
SRM also has a option of adding approvers & reviewers. SC creator can add approvers & it goes for approval to added approver.
Hope this helps.
Thanks

Workflow retrigger for shopping cart

Hi All,
What is the procedure to retrigger workflow manually for shopping cart?and what the precautuions to be taken when retriggering workflow for SC.
Thank you

Yshu

Hi,
What is your business scenario, you can trigger the workflow again when you change the shopping cart once it is created.
This can be:
1) When users create a shop, hold and then on a later date they want to change the shop and complete the action.
2) When the shopping cart is created always the employees need to have the change functionality till the approval takes place for that particular shopping cart.
This can be achieved by using the different parameters in the BBP_WFL_SECURITY in the Personalization tab in the SU01 , Personalization Object Key and the authorization level 0,1,2,3,4

What version of SRM you are working on? If you are in higher version SRM 5.0 the the workflow needs to be configured using BRF functionality. Here is some link for your reference.

Problems with Auto approval workflow (WS 10000060) for shopping carts

Hi SAP Network community,
I have got a problem with the auto approval workflow for shopping carts.
Basically the workflow approves the shopping cart once it was created.
But then the related Purchase Order remains in Status held. If the PO gets ordered manually then it is not transferred to the R/3 backend system.
For testing purposes also the one step approval workflow was activated. If the shopping cart gets approved by clicking into the detail approval screen (not by approving through the green tick box in the shopping cart overview) then the PO gets ordered and transferred to the backend system as normal.
But if the shopping cart gets approved by using the green tick box in the shopping cart overview then the same problem occurs as described for the auto approval workflow.
The system version is SRM 4.00
Did anybody have the same or similar problems with the auto approval workflow and what could be the reason for this problems.
Thanks in advance,
Robert

Hi
Which SRM Workflow Scenario are you using (IS it Item level workflow or Shopping cart level Workflow) ?
Are you using customized SRM Business workflow or Standard SRM Workflow ?
Please go through these links as well.

Need for more flexibility in deciding who can edit shopping carts and do GR

Hello,
Running ECS SRM 5.0
As far as I know, there are two options when it comes to who can edit and change shopping carts and also do goods receipt.
These two options are controlled by roles. The normal is that you can only do this with documents created by you, or you can do this for all documents by using admin role and central receiver.
My business needs more flexibility here. We want to have ie one person in each organizational unit that can edit SC and do GR for everybody in his unit (and only there).
Is there a way this can be controlled, i.e. in a badi?
I know about shop on behalf of and that is a workaround that we can use, but I am looking for a more smooth solution

Process Controlled WF for Shopping Cart

Hi,
We have implemented process controlled workflow for shopping cart approval.
1. Created a bespoke schema for the approval process
2. Defined 5 process levels in the schema
3. changed the BRF event at the schema evaluation level. It now
contains a constant with the name of new schema create in step 1.
4. Decision set used is item based approval for partial documents (Type 4)
4. The first process level is get the technical approval from bespoke
table based on material group. For that we have first created a
Responsibility Resolver Name - ZTECHNICAL_APPROVER.
We have implemented the BADI - /SAPSRM/BD_WF_RESP_RESOLVER. Assigned
the filter as BUS2121 and ZTECHNICAL_APPROVER.
5. Now we have placed the external debugger in BADi. when we create
the shopping cart the flow doesn't stop at the break point. The item
reaches to the last step of Automatic approval (Rejected).
6. We think that schema is getting evaluated, however the process
level is not getting called.
7. Before we created schema, all the carts wer getting "Approved" by
automatic step. In our schema the automatic step is "Rejected", hence
the carts are getting rejected.
Could you please let me know what could be reason for BADI
implementation not being called or is there any config step which we
are missing?

Hi,
I think your process level evaluation id is not true, that is the reason system skips the process level.. Can you check your evaluation event-expression code. What do you see in SLG1? For testing purpose change the evaluation id to 0EV000 and check. Make Sure you debug through the user(requester) that you are creating the SC. Please test and let me know...

Material price to be defaulted in shopping carts from Contracts in ECC

Hi Guys,
We are having a scenario wherein we need to get the price in shopping cart from contracts in ECC.In our case for a material only one contract exists for a given time frame in the ECC.We are working on classic scenario in SRM 5.5 as an add on to ECC.Any help to get this working will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Pawan.

Hi Pawan,
As long as you dont have the Configuration Step "Sourcing Via Vendor List activated", all contracts that you have created for a material will automatically show up in the source of supply as the proposed SOS. This and Info records are displayed on the SOS tab on the SRM Shopping cart via an RFC call that Standard SRM Does.
Pls try out a scenario:
1.) Create a contract for a material in ECC
2.) Replicate the material in SRM
3.) Create a Shopping cart in SRM with that material
4.) you will automatically see the contract beoing displayed on the SOS.
Following are the pricing priority in SRM.
Price Determination in EBP
Priorities
1.) Manual price (only if field is open for input)
2.) Contract
3.) Catalog
4.) Price from product linkage or from product
So as long as you dont have a manual price for the Shopping cart, the price will be adopted from the contract. i would suggest for materials with contracts, update the s/c price with the BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI at the time of submission with an RFC call to ECC to obtain the right proce from the contract.
Hope this info helps !!
Pls assign points, if answer helps you

Release strategy for Shopping Cart

HI SRM GURU
We are implementing SRM 4.0 and follow a classic scenarios.
While creating a shoping cart the approval of Shopping cart is based on various attributes like
Material Group + Cost Center + Value .
Can I change the standard workflow conditions and add new conditions like material Group and cost centers.
So that when I create a Shopping cart and change the cost center in the shopping cart, it goes to the head of the new cost center(for Approval) which is manually entered in the shopping cart.
Can this control be achived through the Org plan attributes.
Regards,
Nimish Sheth

Hi Yann
How do we change the parameteres and the starting Conditions say ,
follwoing is the situation -
Material group Cost Center   Value   Release Person
LGEN01           C019        5000       A1
LGEN01           C019        10000      A2
LCAT01           C019        5000       C1
LCAT02           C020        5000       C3
Like that we have 100's of combinations bsed on cost center. Is is that I have to add all this in SAP Workflow start conditions .?????

hello Smriti
I will try help you with your two problems.
Question 1. "I activate BC-Set in process control workflow and create Shopping cart, Still status is Awaiting Approval and when i check in BBP_PD the workitem (its blank) no workitem assigned."
this problem is because the customizing not is correct. Follow this steps:
1.- SRM Server->Cross-Application Basic Settings->Business Workflow->Select Workflow Framework
Check that Process-controlled workflow is active for all business objects
2.-SRM Server->Cross-Application Basic Settings->Business Workflow->Process-Controlled Workflow->Technical Configuration->Customize SAP Business Workflow Automatically
Execute step by step. is aut.
3.-Execute transaction SWDD; check that workflow WS40000014 exists...
4.-SRM Server->Cross-Application Basic Settings->Business Workflow->Process-Controlled Workflow->Technical Configuration->Generalize Tasks
execute task for default
5.-SRM Server->Cross-Application Basic Settings->Business Workflow->Process-Controlled Workflow->Technical Configuration->Check Task Generalization
check it "/SAPSRM/WF_CFG"
6.- SRM Server->Cross-Application Basic Settings->Business Workflow->Process-Controlled Workflow->Technical Configuration->Copy BRF Objects
class SRM_WF ; all objects; COPY
7.-execute transaction SCPR20 and active /SAPSRM/C_SC_600_000_SP04
8.- TEST NOW
Question 2: "Create Shopping Cart and approve forcefully with Swo1 and now its in ordered Status but no follow on Document created,........When i goto RZ20(Shopping Basket) to analyze it , The system says Local Errors.............Shopping cart 3000000012: Error creating the follow-on document"
CHECK this point of customizing, here is where you must indicate to system that follow on document create for the shopping cart...exist several options...

N-step WF for shopping carts

Is there a N-step WF for shopping carts which can be used in SRM 5.0 ?
The WF is driven by product category and not spending limits.
Or do we have to develop a custom WF ?
Thanks

Separate Determination Method for List of Approvers via BAdI BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI in WS14000133:
In WS14000109 the approvers are determined dependent on the total value of the SC and on the approval limits of the managers.
However, if you use WS14000133 as an alternative, you can determine the list of approvers flexibly according to your particular requirements.
You do this using the method GET_REMAING_APPROVERS of BAdI BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI, with which you can integrate a logic for determining the approvers for each approval step (this can be more than one) and the number of steps in the entire approval process.
For more details, see the IMG:
Supplier Relationship Management ® SRM Server ® Business Add-Ins for Enterprise Buyer (BAdIs) ® SAP Business Workflow ® Determination of Approvers for n-Step Dynamic Approval Workflow.
Go through the documentation of the BADI BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI. It will give you a fair idea on how to about the logic you want.
Hope this helps!!

Accept / Rejection Reasons for Shopping Cart Approval

Hi experts!
Our customer would like to have the following functionality.
During approval workflow the user will either Accept or Reject the shopping cart and at the same time he must enter a reason for approval / rejection from a list with fixed texts / values.
I didn't find any documentation about rejection reasons during approval of shopping cart. Has anybody of you ever seen this or realized anything like that?
If SAP Standard doesn't offer anything suitable we might have to modify the approver screen or develop a new screen.
Any helpful answer would be much appreciated.
Best regards,
Corinne

Hi
Please try this ->
Re: Make mandatory field-Reason for rejection notes-SC approval screen
Reason for Return Delivery missing
Re: Text Types Issue on Bid/Quote
Temporary GUID coming from Sourcing in Doc change badi
Reason for Return Delivery
inactive approval and reject buttons on shopping cart approval screen
Else Use BBP_DOC_CHECK_BADI
SC header level Reject- Display error message
Hope this will help. Do let me know.
