Item Level Parallel Processing

Hi,
We have a scenario where a Shopping Cart has 2-3 items which shall be parallely processed. Each Item based on some table contents shall derive the Approver and shall sent an email. Also at times an Item may have multiple approvers which is mentioned in the custom table, hence shall sent mails to all the approvers. This also has to be parallel approval process.
Once all the Items are approved or Rejected shall go to the creatoru2019s u201CReport Tou201D for overall document approval.
Clarification on Process:
Seems PCW works in this scenario. We are in SRM 7.0.
In this case, we understand that we have to have 3 process levels to be defined one for Items, second for Over all document and third for Automatic. ( Is this True)
The Item level shall have Event which will get the logic through BADI ( Is this True ).
Also for Multiple Approvers we need to fill the Intenal table RT_APPROVERS and this table ids will be sent emails. ( Is this true )
Approval or Rejection is taken care automatically. ( Is this true )
For the over all document, as per the approval limits Approvers are determined ( I think in this case I shall have more process levels instead of 3 in our above case right.) OR SRM Org structure will take care isn't it..
Also, for one Item the approver has suggested some changes then it should go back to the creator and if creator does modifications as per the approver suggestions it shall retrigger the work flow. Hope this is standard process if not what are the steps to be taken.
We will not be modyfying Work flow in PFTC.
Request your comments on this. Request your personal email id for futher clarifications.
Bharat.

HI,
maybe you need to check the decision type you use for each level
These are the available decision types you can use in a process level
1) Item Based Decision for Entire Document : Approver has option to accept and reject all items individually
2) Overall Decision for Partial Document : Approver can accept items which he is resposible for. Other approver in parallel can accepts other items in the same SC he is resposible for.
3) Item Based Decision for Partial Document : Approver has option to accpet and reject items individually but only items he is responsible for. Other approver in parallel can accept and reject other items in the same SC he is resposible for.

Parallel processing open items (FPO4P)

Hello,
I have a question about transaction FPO4p (parallel processing of open items).
When saving the parameters the following message always appears : "Report cannot be evaluated in parallel". The information details tells that when you use a specific parallel processing object, you also need to use that field to sort on.
I my case I use the object GPART for parallel processing (see tab technical settings). In the tab output control I selected a line layout which is sorted by business partner (GPART). Furthermore no selection options are used.
Does anyone know why the transaction cannot save the parameters and shows the error message specified above. I really don't know what goes wrong.
Thank you in advance.

Sales order status "Being processed" due to "Not referenced" in Item level.

Hi All,
I am facing with document status issue.
I have the following process,
1) Main contract (without line items )--> Yearly Contract-->Billing--> Renewal contract w.r.to First Year contract and this renewals will continue until the customer cancel the order.
Status will be as below,
Main Contract                   – No status ( Since, no item category referred in Copy control)
1 Year contract                 – Being processed.
1Year Billing                        - completed.
2nd year contract               – Being processed.
2nd Year Billing                    - completed.
Config settings:
In item category – Completion rule = C Item is completed after the target qty is fully referenced
In VTFA :In item level :
Billing qty = A     Order quantity less invoiced quantity
Pos./neg. quantity = +
Please advice to overcome this.
FYI:In contract line item --> status tab.

Hi Moazzam,
Thanks for the reply..
A is : Item is completed with the first reference. i will try with this but needs to check with the business if they have any partial qty might refer for Invoice.
But, as per existing config.
C - Item is completed after the target qty is fully referenced.
Which i am doing / referring for Invoice full qty. but i am getting " Not referenced" . Request to please make me understand the C functionality.- thanks.

Process Controlled Workflow- Shopping Cart Item level approval

Hi experts,
In SRM 7.0 I have activated BC Set '/SAPSRM/C_SC_600_001_SP04' & I have implemented BADI '/SAPSRM/BD_WF_RESP_RESOLVER'.
My requirement is to send work item to WBS owner at item level.So the possible cases are 10 items will go for 10 approvers if they have 10 different WBS..
I have written logic to fetch WBS owner in method'GET_APPROVERS_BY_AREA_GUID' & assigning approvers to 'rt_approver'.
But the problem is all the approvers are assigned to all items.Rather it should be one item & corresponding WBS owner should be the approver.
Please suggest how I can achieve the required functionality.
Thank you.

Hi Masa,
I have used 'GET_AREA_TO_ITEM_MAP' only to export 'is_document-document_guid' from method '~GET_AREA_TO_ITEM_MAP' to 'GET_APPROVERS_BY_AREA_GUID'.
Can I use this method for mappping Items & approvers?
Please suggest.
Thank you.

Your 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. You have to make the choices, not some fellow SDN-er far away from you and your customer.
First question: 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.
Second question: 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.

To populate Segment data to Order item level in additional tab B

Hi Experts,
I am working on Inbound interface using IDoc (ORDERS05); during Idoc process IDOC_ORDERS_INPUT; i have to take segment value and need to populate at order items level; in custom field (in additional tab B).
For that i am using FM (Customer exits) :
Step 1- EXIT_SAPLVEDA_001 (Getting segment value and passing to XVBAP-Zfield).
Step 2- EXIT_SAPLVEDA_002 (Passing Value to respective screen using BDCDATA table).
Due to unable to find where i have to set flag and how ?; To avoid multiple record to append ; BDCDATA Table with same screen.
As mention in this link for Header level additional tab B : http://www.sapfans.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=62945#p1025880.
They are using my_flag to avoid ,issue as i mention in above step.
Step 3 - At last they are deleting my_flag in FM : EXIT_SAPLVEDA_003. (find in above link)
Thanks in Advance

Vinay

you need to use a flag of type vbap-posnr .
and your check statement will become
check my_flag NE XVBAP-POSNR. (or the ZZXVBAP-POSNR).
and setting the flag
my_flag = XVBAP-POSNR.
so for same posnr it wont repeat the append.. hope this can help

No organizational data exists on item level (error message)

Hello everybody,
I still have this error message when try to create a shopping cart : 'No organizational data exists on item level'
Following a lengthy discussion with SAP Support, SAP recommended that I remove the reference of the Purchasing Organization and Purchasing Group to the backend system (R/3).
After removing the reference I was able to complete the SC creation process, but I got an error at the PO creation process, where I am unable to release the PO since it is not linked to a backend (R/3) Purchasing Organization/Group.
I am currently using SRM 4.0 with EBP 5.0 in Extended Classic Scenario.
I need an Urgent help on this issue !!
Thanks,

Hi,
If You have own PO document type (ZCS) then don't hange it.
in SYS attrib add a local EBP system
If you don't use local categories, You don't need to add product cat. * for local system.
in my ppoma_bbp company have two purch orgs.
-for local (fields with purch org and system id is empty)
-for backend (fields with purch org is filled from backend system.)
Example:
Company (function with company code PW01\R3100)
- Purch org local (function purch. org. checked but not filled)
- Purch group local (function purch. group checked bud not filled)
- Purch org backend (function purch. org. checked with values PZ1\R3100)
- Purch group backend (function purch. group checked with values PZZ\R3100)

UDM_SUPERVISOR: Adding fields and data at customer item level

Hi
I am having the same issue with newbie82_c; I need to populate the added fields in transaction UDM_SUPERVISOR.
I know that the previous thread was tagged as answered already but the solution to the issue was not indicated in the thread.
Here are the scenarios:
- i've added fields in the item level invoice worklist of the customers by enhancing structure FDM_COLL_INVOICE_ALV (appending fields to FDM_COLL_INVOICE)
- thru the implementation of the BADI FDM_COLL_SEND_ITEMS, i was able to retrieve the data specified by the user (Reference Keys in FB05)
- i've populated CT_EXT_ITEMS with the retrieved data
Now I need these data to be displayed in the added fields in UDM_SUPERVISOR.
What ABAP object/s is/are responsible for populating the process receivable details?
Thank you in advance for the assistance.

Hi K.R.Reddy,
Can you kindly provide me with a working solution for this? I'm currently facing a similar issue for a similar BAPI (in my case it's BAPI_CUSTOMERRETURN_CHANGE) and can't seem to update the custom fields in VBAK. I have put in necessary values in the EXTENSIONIN table as well as updated the UPDATEFLAG indicator to 'U' and although it says that the order is saved, it seems to overwrite the custom field with its original value.
The custom field seems to get updated correctly when I use BAPI_CUSTOMERRETURN_CREATE but when I make changes using BAPI_CUSTOMERRETURN_CHANGE, it gets overwritten with the original value.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks and regards,
Adeline.

Sales order: How to add pricing conditions at item level in BDC of VA01

Hello Experts,
Am writing BDC for sales order, in this process I need to add ITEM PRICING CONDITIONS, so, am selecting item and pressing the DOLLAR symbol button and am adding the conditions by pressing PLUS button in loop!! but am getting this erorr- Field KOMV-KMEIN (2) is not an input field!! when I execute it in we19-BACK GROUND only!! if I execute the same CODE IN we19-Fore ground, I dont have any issue!! I checked this SDN (field status in config), Google, but did not helped me!
Pls. let me know is there any other way to add conditions at item level in VA01 in BDC code?
THank you

Hi,
It is happening because the second row of the item level data screen is becoming display only. Please check whether In foreground mode you are pressing an extra enter to give data in the second row of the item level data after giving data in the first row and in BDC recording you have not recorded that 'Enter'.

How to do the reversal in the item level of a (delivery)document?

hi friends,
Is there any way to put reversal, at the item level for the document already posted ?
Do we have any standard funtion module or BAPI to pass value from the editor ?
My task is, I want to do the reversal in the item level of the (delivery)document.
I tried with the BAPI - BAPI_ACC_GL_POSTING_REV_POST, but this is reversing the whole document. but I want to reverse in line item only.
please suggest me.....
Quick replies would be rewarded.
Thanks in advance.
Regards

Hi Rob,
yes, what you told is right. I want to do the same. I will first reverse the particular line item and will post the correct entry. but here, I need to do that for a huge number of document. It will be good if I pass the values using a funtion module or a BAPI to reverse. So, I want a Funtion Module or BAPI to process it.
anyway, after reversing the document, I am going to post the document with correct entry.

How to achieve parallel processing in a single request?

Hi all,
I have a method in a Session EJB that will perform some business logic before it returns an answer to the client. The logic it will perform is to collect data from the applications database and two external systems, before sending all data to a third external system to get a response and send it back to the client. Each external system is quite slow so I would like to do all the collecting of data concurrent, parallel processing. How should I handle this? I'm not allowed to create my own threads in EJB's. Can I use MDB in some way? To the calling client this should be a synchronous call...
Greatfull for any suggestions
Cheers
Anders =)

Usually, the request is received by a component located in the web container, such as by an HTTP request (including Web Services). This component is able to start threads to allow parallel processing. Now, if for some reason the request arrives directly at EJB level and that you cannot move its receiver to web component, I think JMS is not a viable solution because you will switch to asynchronous processing and you have no way to make your EJB wait for the responses while preserving the client request (waiting implies programmatic life cycle management, which is forbidden in EJB container). Maybe a resource adapter (JCA) can bring a solution. A resource adapter acts as a datasource (a datasource is a specialization of a resource adapter) and thus it is a logical way to implement an adapter to an external, eventually non-J2EE, resource, as the name implies :) But I don't have enough knowledge in JCA to be sure of this.
Hope it helps.

Approval status at item level

Hi,
I need to know whether the shopping cart item is rejected or not.(need to know the approval status at item level) and then make the rejection reason as mandatory.
I tried to get the value of the flag DEDUCT_IND from each item,but it is never set to 'X' eventhough I reject an item.could anybody please tell me when this flag will be changed or is there any other way to find the approval status at item level.
Regards,
Rohini

What is your SRM Version ?
If you have implemented process control workflow for Item level approval, then.
Once the approver rejects and item, the workflow sends the workitem back to the requester to make changes are accept the rejection. If the requester accepts the rejection then the workflow continues. If the workflow does not have any more approver then the shopping cart is approved and the line item which is rejected by approver is set to DELETE. i.e. BBP_PDIGP-DEL_IND is set to 'X'.

Delivery address at Item Level and not at the Header Level

Hello Experts,
We are facing an issue as described below:-
We are in SRM 7.0 using classic scenario.
After approval of multi line Shopping Cart in SRM ,PR's are getting
automatically created in backend R/3 system.After converting PR's into
POs in backend R/3,we are observing that the delivery address for these
PO'are getting printed at Item level and not at the Header Level
inspite of the delivery address being same for all the Item level.
As desired,the delivery address in the PO's should have the delivery
address at the header level if the the delivery address is identical
for all the Item Levels.
However,if we create a PR directly in R/3 system and then convert these
PR's into PO's in the backend R/3 system,we find that the deliver
address are getting printed at the Header Level if the delivery address
is same for all the item level(which is as desired)
Any pointers will be highly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
RKS

It is standard process only.
In Po delivery address is maintained at item level because to which address perticular material to be delivered,
this may change from material to material or may not change
