Line Item Level Approval For SC-SRM7.02

Hi Experts,
I am working on the line item level approval based on cost center. can some one help me in achieving this?
i have few doubts regarding this
1) we are using application controlled workflow is it feasible to achieve this functionality ?
2) will separate PO will be created for each line item?.
some pointer would be really helpful.

Hi Mano,
1. Yes, but would suggest to use new process controlled workflow.
2. No, Cost center is not a split criteria for PO creation. Of course you can overwrite it with ABAP.
Regards
Konstantin

Line Item Level Approval For SC-SRM7.02-WS14500015

Hi Expert,
I am using workflow template WS14500015 for line item level approval.i have few doubts on this
i am using cost center based approval, so if the 1st line item is approved will it generate a PO or will it wait for the entire shopping cart to be approved.

Hi Mano,
Are you using application controlled workflow or process controlled workflow?
For process controlled workflow you can refer to the SRM 7.0 Workflow guide:
https://websmp108.sap-ag.de/instguides > sap business suite and applications> SRM 7.0 > Workflow Guide - SAP SRM 7.0 and Configuration guide.
Page 16, Approval Processes in SAP SRM; you will understand possibilities of SRM 7.0 process controlled workflow and then decide which one you need.
Also refer to 7 Appendix B: Approver Determination Strategies in the Standard
This has few example classes/BADI implementation for agent determination which you can refer to.

Line Item level Approval for Shopping cart

Hi Expert,
I am using workflow template WS14500015 for line item level approval.i have few doubts on this
i am using cost center based approval, so if the 1st line item is approved will it generate a PO or will it wait for all the line items approval.

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.

Workflow issue : N step Item level approval for SC

Hello Friends,
We are working on SRM 4.0 , classic scenario , SP11.
Here we are facing a typical issue in workflow. We are using Nstep approval for SC.
In the standard task TS14508044, the work item text is "Approval of SC ".The shopping cart value is being populated by container element &APPOBJ.OBJECTTOAPPROVE.TOTALVALUESTRING&
This same container element is used to populate the shopping cart value in the task description. However what we observe is that in the workflow log, the container element APPOBJ is initial.
How is the total value of the shopping cart populated then?
Also, the value of the shopping cart in the work item text and the work item description is in different currency format.
The shoppng cart value in the work item text is in the format 12,34,567.89 whereas that in the description is in the format
12.934.567,8
Appreciate your inputs on this.

Thanks Masa,
For your valuable suggestion. Now after changing the WF-BATCH settings there is consistency in the currency format.
Now the question is how we can change into the currency format of the user ?
The user format is 1,234,567. 89 but still work item text and
description is in 1.234.567, 89 format.
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.

ESLL-USERF2_NUM   User-Defined Field
ESLL-USERF1_TXT   User-Defined Field
ESLL-USERF2_TXT   User-Defined Field

SRM 7.0 SP05 - BRF Item level approval does not work

Hi Experts,
I am working on process controlled workflow for shopping cart approval process. I have defined necessary process levels and workflow works fine for a single item SC.
I have selected decision type as "Item-based approval for partial document" for each process level and hence expect each line item (according the start condition) should have it's own set off approvers, but instead of this, system determines approvers at header level and hence item which does not really need approval undergoes approval as well.
Could you please help me to resolve the issue?
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Amit

Hi Bharat,
Yes, we are using the copy of the standard implementation. We are looking into the BADI implementation and trying to assign a separate AREA GUID to each line item. Hopefully, when different aggents are assigned to these AREA GUIDs, it will enable the item level approval. I will keep you updated.
Meanwhile, it would be really helpful if you could share some sample code of such badi implementation which can help me to understand it more clearly.
Thanks & Regards,
Amit

Query : Custom field at line item level in SRM 7.0 .

I was going through a document which instructs on how to add a custom field at line item level in SRM 7.0.
I found this code :
CALL FUNCTION 'BBP_PD_SC_GETDETAIL'
EXPORTING
I_GUID = IV_DOC_GUID
I_WITH_ITEMDATA = 'X'
TABLES
E_ITEM = LT_ITEM
E_MESSAGES = LT_MESSAGES
E_STATUS = LT_STATUS. .
LOOP AT LT_STATUS INTO WA_STATUS.
IF WA_STATUS-STAT EQ 'I1015' AND WA_STATUS-INACT IS INITIAL.
LV_STATUS_APPROVE = 'X'.
ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
I wanted to know what is 'I1015' and what is its significance .
please advise .
Ambar

HI
This speaks about the status of the Cart. This means that the Status of the Cart is AWAITING APPROVAL...I dont know which document you have gone through but procedure for adding a Custom Field in SRM 7.0 is:
1. Create a Custom field in the Database in SRM. Preferrably add the field in an include and extend thta include to the table in SE11.
2. Go to Portal Login of SRM and right click the part of the screen where you want to add the custom field. Click on More Field Help. The popup will give you the name of WebDynpro Applicaiton which controls that area.
3. Login to SRM via GUI and display the webdynpro application using SE80. Enhance the Webdynpro application.
4. Add the custom field to the Context of the WebDynpro Application View. You will be selecting the field from the database table while adding the custom field to the context
5. Add the field at the specified place in Layout Tab of the WebDynpro View,
6. Create a binding between the Layout Field and the Context
7. Activate the changes.... you will see the field in Portal login of SRM....
For more details , refer to the Webdynpro help of the application...

Header and item level approval using N level BADI

Hi Experts,
I beleive we can use either header level or item level approval workflow (WS14000133 and WS14500015) using N Approval-BADI. Please advise what information approval will be able to see if we will be using WS14000133 (Header level approval). Can he see all line item information or header level only.
Regards,
Kamal

In SRM the same BADI is used for SC, PO, Invoice and others as well.. If you see the example implementation provided by SAP, you can see the use of CASE statement with different Business Objects and code under it.
Irrespective of the Header level or Item level approval workflow the same BADI has to be implemented.
The difference between Header and Item Level approval is
1) In Header level, approval or rejection is done for the whole cart (there can be 1 item or multiple items).
Approver will be able to see all the items in the cart.
2) In Item level, approval or rejection is done for each and every line item. here is an example ---
Line item 1 has Cost Center as Account Assignment Category and has to be approved by Users A and B.
Line item 2 has Internal Order as Account Assignment Category and has to be approved by Users C and D.
Item 1 goes to user A and once approved, it goes to B. they will not be able to approve or reject item 2. but we can restrict user A and B to see item 2 or not by setting a flag..
Item 2 goes to user C and once approved, it goes to D. they will not be able to approve or reject item 1. but we can restrict user C and D to see item 1 or not by setting a flag..
The SC will get released only after all the items are approved.
For Header Level approval, you need to fill the APPROVAL_TABLE.
For Item Level approval, you need to make use of APPROVAL_TABLE, ITEM_APPROVAL_TABLE and ITEM_APPROVAL_OBJ.
Examples provided by SAP might give you an idea how to code for Header and Item Level.
Hope this gives you some information .....
Regards,
PR.

Line item not relevant for payment release

Dear Expert,
When I select payment block : 'Payment Request' in FB60. Error Message appear "Line item not relevant for payment release".
I also have set payment block in master vendor and OBB8.
Can you tell me why the error message still appear?
Kindly need your help
Thanks and Regards,
YL

Do you have any workflow variant in place?
Moreover, when you have already set the Payment block at Master level, you need not to fix it in transaction level.
Vendor itself will not get paid until unless you remove the block option
Thanks
