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.

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 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.

Changing line item delivery address in shopping cart need to reflect same in all line items

Hi All,
Need help on below,
I have a requirement that when we change the shopping cart line item delivery address same needs to reflect all line items.
Suppose a shopping cart having 3 line items 1, 2 and 3. if i change the delivery address of line item 1, the same needs to reflect the line item 2 and 3 as well.
In my case if we change the 1's delivery address, after processing its genrating the IDOC on line item wise not in the header wise. And same having the different delivery address.
Thanks in advance.
regards:
Ramesh

Hello Ramesh,
we can do this changes in BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI . Create a Implementation for the above BADI and Inside that Implementation BADI method just call the function module BBP_PD_SC_GETDETAIL for SC item details by passing the Header GUID.
Once you get the Partner table(E_PARTNER) details.. Keeping a loop on SC item(E_ITEM) and change address number(ADDR_NO) in Partner table when Partner function eq X( X is an partner function values which you define in SPRO.).
pseudo logic:
CALL FUNCTION 'BBP_PD_SC_GETDETAIL'
    EXPORTING
      i_guid    = l_guid
    TABLES
      e_item    = lt_item
      e_partner = lt_partner.
* Check for all the line items if vendor is assigned
LOOP AT lt_item INTO lwa_item.
    READ TABLE lt_partner INTO lwa_partner
                      WITH KEY partner_fct = '00000019'
                               del_ind     = space
                               p_guid      = lwa_item-guid.
    IF sy-subrc eq 0 .
   * modification of address number logic here in partner table
    ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
All the best.

Process Controlled Workflow - 1-step approval for shopping cart approval

Hi,
I have configured a one-level approval for SC (Process Controlled Workflow):
Object Type: BUS2121
Additional 1 level under schema: 3C_SC_600_000 (the last level is the automatic approval)
Level Type: Approval with completion
Eval ID: 0EV_SC_SL1
RR Name: RR_SPENDING_LIMIT_APPROVER
RR Param: USTONY.Y (I hardcoded it using my user ID, for the moment)
Task ID: 40007953 (I have checked, it's generalized as well)
Decision Type: Item-based decision for entire document
For PPOMA_BBP:
Under my org unit (Position):
Approval Limit: 1000
Output Limit: 1000
I didn't do any BADI implementations yet.
During creation of SC by other user, before "Order" the SC, the approval preview can show correctly that the Processor is as indicated in the config.
Once the SC is ordered, the whole step is gone and the event linkage becoming delinked (because there is error, and according to the config in SWEQADM).
However, I cannot find the workitem (no workitem generated) and SLG1 does not give any clue whatsoever.
I tried debugging method APPROVAL_LIMIT, and it seems fine as well.
Please help, what did I do wrong here?
Thanks,
Tony Y

Hi Sahil,
I even changed to first process level to:
Level Type: Approval
Eval ID: 0EV000
RR Name: RR_MANAGER
RR Param: (Blank)
Task ID: 40007953 (I have checked, it's generalized as well)
Decision Type: Decision for entire document
Under PPOMA_BBP:
I made myself as a head of the org unit with the role manager.
The requester is "Exclude" the role manager.
The agent can be determined now.
But the workitem ID is still cannot be generated. It's always no workitem generated.
Please everyone, any help?
Thanks in advance,
Tony

Wrong approver for shopping cart

Hi Friends,
I've found something very strange in my SRM system for Shopping cart approveal process.
One of my SC is waiting for approaval by a approver who is assigned to different plant and he has got nothing to do with this SC.
The SC's basic data contains the responsibility of some other LPR group for which approver is different and he is the actual approver of this SC.
Can you guys provide some link where i can find documents related to approval process in detail and also the organisation structure material as i am new to SRM..? after providing the solution for above querry...
Thanks in advance
ss

Hi Volkoale,
I am also facing the same issue. If you have resolved it kindly post your approach as it will be helpful to the community.
In my case, there is one cutomized table that contains list of approvers, but I am yet to debug and find the source of data for this table. Your reply will be rewarded.
Cheers,
Kris

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

please help .

Hi,
Please check note:

This note proposes as solution
"Users with Outlook 2007 should open the mail in a window (double click)
and use the option "other actions" -> "view in browser" to see and use
all functionalities of the mail."
This is because Outlook 2007 does not support HTML forms.
Please, generate the mail in browser and check how the system works.
In order to use such functionality, you have to follow steps available

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

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.

Shopping cart header status differs to status at line item level

Hello
I am using SRM 5.5 EC, got a situation where there is a single line shopping cart which has been approved. The status on the header is still showing "awaiting approval" but at line item level it shows as being "approved" and no follow on document has been created.
Can anyone help and let me know why this has happened and how to change the header status now?
Many Thanks in Advance

Line numbering and Item numbering in SRM 7 for shopping carts.

Hi,
We are on SRM 7.1.
The issue we are facing is when a shopping cart has multiple service
items and one of the service lines is deleted and the cart is ordered
the item numbering for the shopping cart lines is different in the item
overview screen in shopping cart transaction as well as sourcing and
workload reassignment.
For example,
- If you create an Item for your SC. This would be Item 1 - line 1.
- You now create another Item for your SC. This would be Item 2 - line
2.
- Then, you add a new line item, which is Item 3 - line 3.
- Now you delete the second Item (line 2)
Since we do not show the deleted items, you will only see 2 items,
however there are 3 lines in buffer.
- After you save the cart, front end will display two items, which
have line number 1 and 2.
- However, item number will be stored as number 1 and 3, since these
are the sequential records created in buffer.
In sourcing cockpit, workload distribution and POWL, item number is
displayed.
In shopping cart screen, line number is displayed.
This difference in numbering for line number and item number due to the standard design of SRM 7 is creating a lot of confusion among buyers in our organization.
Has anyone come across this issue?

Hi,
As i told this is Std SRM Functionality.
You can do one thing if the client agrees.
in the shopping cart screen add a new column next to the line item
Case 1 - No line item is deleted
Line item    Zline item
10                 1
20                 2
30                 3
40                 4
Case 2 -Line item 20 is deleted
Line item     Z line item
10                 1
30                 2
40                 3
zline item has to key in by the user
Remember while deleting the line by the user he has to check the Zline item numbering
You have to add this new line item in the sourcing
screen also.
Check whether this soulution works
(or) convenience the client that they have remember the line item
