Hi,
In my application, user can submit their forum, and read after approved, but the approval process is carried over admin console. I am just curious to know how I can use the Forum/Message approval process in my application through java code. What are the APIs, can you please help me out.
Thank you.

Approved invoices can not be edited - Approval process

Hi Experts -
I have recently raised an incident with SAP about Approval process - the complete message and support reply is as follows - but i believe we need a change in the approval process - if the approval required is only one but you have defined two people (Either or OR) in the approver list - the system should allow the document to be edited if one of the approvers reject it.
please let me know and i believe we need a change in design - unless otherwise a solid reason is given to justify the existing design
10.07.2009 10:32 Description (English) by SRS Manian
     We have created approval procedure for all the invoices which are entered into the system., The
'Accts' user enters the invoice into the system - the invoice comes for approval to 'Manager' user.
When the Manager opens the invoice via Alert window - he/she wants to modify certain information
(lines as well as Sales person) and approve it.
The invoice which gets opened from the alert window - does not allow the user 'Manager' to modify at
all. All the information on the invoice are greyed out.
The system should allow the user 'Manager' to modify the information. Since the manager has full
authorization to the system.

     Dear Manian,
Thank you for contacting us.
When the originator sends the document for manager's approval, note that the at that stage, the document is still in the 'Approval Process'. This is because the system is waiting for the 'Manager' to 'Approve or Reject' the document. Hence, looking at the Document, it is still in 'Draft - Pending' Status.
When the document is in 'Draft-Pending' Status, the document is not available for editing, because the system considers that it is still in the waiting process. In your case, the manager cannot edit t he document.
To amend the document, an action is required from the approver either to reject it first. Once rejected, it can be amended and re-sent for approval.
I have checked our knowledge base and noted that there is an article which describes the approval process. Please refer to the Expert on Phone Wiki Article (March 2009) with title: Why a draft documen t in an approval process cannot be modified by the originator?
The link will provide the explanation:

     Thanks for the reply. The scenario is when the Manager receives the
document for approval, he wanted to edit and add it. Your reply (and
documentations) states that it needs to be rejected first before it is
available for editing. When it is gets rejected - the person who
orignated the document gets an alert and he can edit it. Here the
Manager must get an alert so that he can edit the Rejected document.
When the 'manager' rejects the document, and goes back to the alert
window to open the document - it is still greyed out !!
How does the 'manager' reject the document and edits it ?

     Dear Manian,
If after the Manager rejects it and still the document is not editable (greyed out), it means that the document may still be in the 'Approval Process'. When it is greyed out, what is the status of the document in the header? Does it say 'Rejected' or 'Pending'?
If it is still in 'Pending' mode, please verify the number of 'Approvers' set in the 'Stages' tab of the 'Approval Template - Setup' window. If there is more than one user listed as 'Approver', and o nly 1 approval is required, the system provides an opportunity to other 'Approvers' to approve or reject the document. If in your case, the number of approvers is 2, and manager 'rejected' it, the sys tem still keeps the document in Pending status as it waits for another approver's decision to reject or approve it.
Also, verify the number of 'Approvals' required. If the number of 'Approvers' who have not rendered their decision is greater than or equal to the 'Approvals' required (e.g. approvers - 2, required ap provals - 2) the system keeps the document within the approval process. This is to allow the other 'Approvers' to decide on the document.
I hope this clarifies the behaviour. If you can provide us a step by step screenshot of the issue, this may help us to provide a more accurate response.

When the header says 'Pending', then it means the document is still within the approval process. Please check the Approval Template and see the number of approvers and the number of approvals require d.
The number of approvals and approvers may be greater than 1. In this case, the system waits for other approvers to approve or reject the document. Once all the approvers have rejected the document, th en the document will be released and available for editing.

Thank you for the information. The behaviour is a current system definition documented as per Note 1321234. I have attached the said Note for your reference. When only 1 approval is required and there are 2 or more persons are allowed to approve the document, the document does not get automatically rejected when 1 person 'rejects' it. The system waits for other approvers to render their decision b ecause a person may still approve or reject the document.

Approval process - 2 users in stage

Dear all,
Question about the approval process.
I have a stage where 2 users can approve, but only one is required
It works fine when they approve document. As soon as one user approve, the originator user receive alert and can create the document.
However when they want not to approve , the system ask for both user to not approve the request before changing the status of the request from pending to rejected and sending the alert to the user.
If only one say no, the status remains pending, and an action of the second user is required to make the system change the status.
Why to approve, only one is required, and to reject, both are required? is there a way to have the same process in approval than in reject ?
Thank you
Sébastien

Dear Sébastien,
This is in the initial design of this process. We can do nothing about it.
You may post a DRQ here http://forums.sdn.sap.com/forum.jspa?forumID=265 or on Idea Place for this request.

"Ask to buy" and "Sign in to Approve" process is not working

Last weekend I setup Family Sharing for the first time, but the "Ask to buy" and "Sign in to Approve" process is not working. I am the Family Organizer and I created an account for my child under 13 with "Ask to buy" enabled. My child can go in to the App Store, click "Buy" for a desired app and I get a notification on my iPhone 5s... as expected. When I open the Notification I have the option to Decline or Approve. If I select Approve, a box pops up asking me to enter the password for my child's iCloud account to complete the request. (It seems odd to me that I'd have to enter his password instead of my own, but whatever.) So I enter his password and the box goes away for a second and then comes right back like I typed it wrong or something. I enter it again and again and always the same box comes back and the request is never completed. We've tried this several times over several days and always see the same behavior. I have also tried entering my password instead of his (since that makes more sense to me) but I encounter the same problem.
I have verified that I am signed in to my iCloud account and my iTunes account on my iPhone 5s. I have also verified that my son is logged in with his iCloud/iTunes account on his iPod touch, so why isn't this working? Additionally, if I disable "Ask to Buy" then I can successfully install apps on his iPod from the iPod itself.
Is it normal for the "Sign in to Approve" box to show his iCloud address instead of mine? And if so, why doesn't it complete when I enter his password? Am I missing something completely? This is driving me crazy.

When you click your link "Click here", the SharePoint web page with anchor will not work until refresh the page, if it's the case, you can add the javascript code to refresh the page automatically as workaround per the following similar post.

SP2013 Content Approval Process, restrict status change on updates after Approval

Hi ,
I had implemented the SharePoint content approval process for one internal requirement. Now, there is a need for modifying the content after Approval Status and by doing so SharePoint modifies the status as 'Pending' after edit. But, I have to retain the
approval status.
Please share any thoughts on how to achieve this ?
Thanks in advance.
soundar

Hi Soundar_SP,
After you edit the list item, then the approve status will change to pnending. This is by design.
There is no OOTB feature to achieve your requirement.
As a workaround, you can create a custom Approve workflow with start Approval Progress action and set the workflow started when item created.

Template Folder for Approval Process in KM Repository

Hi,
I have the following scenario:
There is a Folder that has been set up with an approval step and approvers.
What i need to do is to copy this folder to another location in the same repository and the approval process.
For example:
In the folder /documents/Sales/ApprovalTemplate/ is defined the following step:
STEP: Content Validation
Approvers: salesApproverGroup
I create a new folder: /documents/Sales/Presentations
Inside that folder I want to copy the folder /documents/Sales/ApprovalTemplate/. That's no problem. But when the folder is copied here: /documents/Sales/Presentations/ApprovalTemplate/ it has no more approval steps neither approvers. Whatsmore, the approval process isn't enabled.
Is there any way to manage to copy folders and copy approval process?
Thanks in advance!

Approval Workflow - How to stop Approval Process after one Approve?

I currently have a approval workflow for announcements. There are two approvers assigned to the workflow with the serial setting. How do I end the approval work process after one of the two persons approve? Currently, if one person approves, I have a "In
Progress" status under the status column.
Here is the text-based editor view of my workflow:
f Current Item:Body not equals Current Item:PriorBody
Start Approval process on Current Item with User1; User2
Else if Current Item:PriorWorkflow equals Approved
Set workflow status to Approved
If Current Item:PriorWorkflow equals Rejected
Set workflow status to Rejected
Any tips are welcomed. I have found that Nintex released a workflow that addresses this, but I would like to work around that if possible.

Hi David,
Yes, I created the workflow based on SharePoint 2013 Workflow platform. You can have a look at the screenshoot:

To Activate the Approval Process when document is in update mode

Dear Expert,
I have applied the Approval Process for UDF using the query "Select Distinct 'True' From ORDR T0
Where IsNull($[ORDR.U_Rebate.number],0)>0 and $[ORDR.DocType]='I' ".
Now as the field is UDF user is able to modify even after approval procedure.
Please help me to apply the above query for the Approval process even when the document is in update mode.
regards,
PankajK

Dear Pankaj,
Current B1 design only support approval for adding document. Update will not trigger approval.
You may use SP_TN instead to block user updating it. If you are not familiar with the SP, search the forum first.

Promotion in approval process don't close data at owner.

Hello!
I have a problem in approval process in planning unit hierarchy. I created planning unit hierarchy. When I run approval process, ownership of the process moves to user, which specified in planning unit hierarchy as "Owner". When owner promote approval process to the next user "Viewer" and current position is at "Viewer" tha data couldn't be entered by Owner. But in my situation data don't close to enter at Owner, and he can change the data, which he sent to Viewer. It isn't correct. Why data don't close to enter at Owner, though the current position of approval process at "Viewer"?

From what I have been reading from other posts on this forum, the issue may
be caused by the clear history settings.
Press the '''<Alt>''' or '''<F10>''' key to bring up the tool bar.
Then '''Tools > Options > Privacy'''.
The button next to '''History''', select '''Use Custom Settings'''.
At the bottom of the page, turn on '''Clear History When Firefox Closes.'''
At the far right, press the '''Settings''' button. Turn on ONLY '''Cache''' and
'''Form And Search History''' leaving the others off.
This is not a cure but will make it easier if Firefox locks up.

OIM - Approval process available on updates/modifications of a resource ?

Hello,
I would like to implement a typical workflow :
1) UserA is able to provision a resource for other users. He provisions it for UserB. There's an approval process which says that it's UserB's manager (ManagerB) who will approve this request. UserA provisions the resource.
2) ManagerB approves the request
3) UserB is now able to use the resource and modify it. He modifies it and his modifications aren't effective until his manager's approval.
4) ManagerB approves the modification request, ensuring that the data is correct
The main goal of this kind of workflow is that every action of the resource user means that an according approval process is fired.
Right now I'm unable to implement such a process. Another user said on this forum that approval events are fired on grant/enable/disable/revoke events. I would like to know if it's possible to use this kind of processes on ANY modification of a given resource.
And by the way, is there any mean to know exactly which are the minimal permissions/rights to have to be able to provision a resource to a user in a workflow as described earlier ? Right now I'm working with 177 different rights, whose names aren't quite helpful...
Thanks in advance !

Ajp , following your instructions, to enable approval on attribute changing (e.g, for resource named 'MyResource') I should take the following steps:
1) Create a resource object called "Dummy ResObj"
2) Create a Process Definition of type Approval (with respective task assignment adapters) and associate it with 'Dummy ResObj'.
3) Create a task inside this to get the manager's approval
4) Open a Process Definition of type Provisioning associated with the resource 'MyResource'
5) Create a Process Task Adapter to provision target user to the Dummy ResObj
- this adapter would get passed the resource object key and the user key
- the adapter will create a request (on adding user)
- it would also utilitize the tcUserOperations API
7) Create a Process Definition for Dummy ResObj
8) Create a Process Task Adapters to provision and de-provision target user to the Dummy ResObj
9) Create tasks in the 'Dummy ResObj' provisioning process that calls this process task adapters
Am I right? Haven't I missed something?

Trigger approval process after adding draft through DI API

FROM SDK:
The ApprovalTemplatesService doesn't trigger the approval process for objects that were added through the DI API
I add a Draft document through the DI API, and the approval process doens't trigger.
(no record added in OWDD and WDD1)
How to make it happens ?
Thank you

Hello Nicola,
Exactly what product are you using?
What version of that product?
I believe this question is in the incorrect forum, but I need this information to be able to point you in the right direction.
Also in the future, do not cross post questions to multiple forums as that is against the [Rules of Engagement|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/wiki?path=/display/home/rulesofEngagement]
