Problem in maintain attributes for position in maintain user attributes

Hi All ,
I am facing a problem in Maintain User Attributes
I should get only 5 values for any user in attributes dropdown of attributes for position
But for some users I am getting as 10 values
and for some users I am getting it as 20 values ..
What my doubt is
will it be based on role dependency or anyother one ..
Pls let me know if u have any idea ..
Thanks
Kumar

Hello,
The ability of changing attributes via User settings depends on the role
assigned to the user and whether this role has the appropriate rights to
change the attributes.
In this regard, check the customizing below:
SRM -> SRM Server -> Cross Application Basic Settings -> Roles ->
Maintain Attribute Access Rights by Role.
Here you define which parameter can be changed depending on the role
assigned to user in question.

Approval Limit of user - Extended Attributes

Hello everyone,
I would like to know the difference between standard values and local values for approval
limit in extended attributes in PPOSA_BBP. The standard value has 15000 AUD which is
inherited by the organization unit under which the user is created. Local value is 1000 AUD.
What does this mean? All users under the organization unit carry the same standard valu for
approval limit but only head carries the local value which is 1000 AUD.
Can anyone please answer to this.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Priya,
Even i checked in my system and i couldn't able to find much importance for standard value...system is considering only local values.....
if you got the answer then please post it ...
Thanks

1.Requester should raise the request to assign the role for beneficiary and requester should select 'Valid from' and 'valid till' (valid from and valid till are additonal attributes)
2. Approver will reivew the request and should be able to change the 'valid from' and 'valid till' dates ( role active dates )
I have changed the 'AssignRolesDataset.xml' to display the additionals attributes for approver task by making 'approver-only'.

User's Approval Limit in Extended Attributes

Dear SRMer's,
System info:
SRM 4.0.
Problem Description:
In PPOMA_BBP, I set my approval limit in the 'PO Value Limits' under Extended attributes to $1000.00 and added an approver for the SLApprover in Attributes tab.
But when I create a shopping cart with value greater (>) than $1000.00,
I dont see the SL approver on the approval flow and the approval flow says no approval required.
Please help.
Thanks in advance,
Best Regards,
Bob

Hi Bob,
Deactivate your workflows for the shopping cart then check again.

Get PO Approval limit for Approver and substitute

Hello all,
Description:
When an approver assigns a substitute for approval, the PO Value Limit (HRP5503-LIMIT) for the position needs to be equal to or greater than that of the approver. If this is not true, then an error message saying u201CSubstitute has insufficient signing authorityu201D should be returned to the user upon adding the substitute.
Logic can be found in SAP program LBW02F01 (include)
under routine FORM / D1328_FIND_DEPUTIES
Here i need to fetch the PO approver details and substitute detaiils.
Please let me know about this.
Thanks in advance

Substitution is for the total inbox ...
I don't think it can be done only for Purchase Order or Shopping Cart or What ever it is...
You can use the Implicit Enhacement Operation to add code to the standard sap code...
Try to re-use the following code and get the value limit from the Business Object BUS4101.
"swc_create_object req_user 'BUS4101' sy-uname.
swc_get_property req_user 'ApprovalLimit' lv_calimit-approval_limit.
swc_get_property req_user 'ApprovalCurrency' lv_calimit-currency."
FORM / D1328_FIND_DEPUTIES -- In this, "gt_deputies" is the standard table used by SAP in the code which stores all the substitute uses..
You need to delete the user entries who are having value limit less than the approver user in the "gt_deputies".
I have done the same for one of my requirements.. but it was not specific for only PO.

While creating fm for maintaining variant , how to maintain attributes

I am creating one fm to maintain variant for one report program . I am using the standard fm RS_CREATE_VARIANT for maintaing the values , but for attributes which i need for one parameter which is date selection , i want to use that dynamic date calculations available in the attribute screen of the variant , but instead of maually setting that date attribute , how to store that values in my fm .
there is one satndard fm RS_VARIANT_ATTR_SAVE ,during execution of this fm variant attributes maintain screen is coming where manully one has to save attributes maintained by that fm .
so, due to this user interraction for saving that fm i can not use this .
If there is any other fm or any alternate then please reply

Hi Hari,
On set type maintenance screen (Txn COMM_ATTRSET), choose your set type and follow the menu path
Set type/ Attributes -> Transport -> Set type
On the next screen, select the set type table entry and press button 'Include in transport request'. This should give you a pop up where $TMP is defaulted as a package which you can change with your own package type.
That's it.

Why we maintain usage for work approval, applications and documents in WCM

hi,
what is significance of maintaining usage for Work Approval, Work clearance Application and Work clearance documents in Customizing of work clearance management.
Please reply.... with detailed notes..
regards,
Amit kushwaha

Hi,
For WCD Usage u can have further controls given in customizing.
But u can hide Usage in WA and WCA, if its not used. But at application level u can use it for various types of permits, which u can use as the triggering point for printouts.
If this answers ur query u can give points.
Thanks.

Error: Lock profile for approval procedure not maintained in Customizing

Hi,
We are working on the CHARM approval process. I have noticed that without selecting an approval procedure, I select the status (Awaiting business approval) on which the approval workflow is triggered, the system gives below error:
Select an approval procedure first
Lock profile for approval procedure not maintained in Customizing
Approval procedure and approval steps are locked automatically
This locks the approval procedure and the RFC can no longer be processed further. Why is that happening ? Anyone can select the status by mistake and lose the RFC, is there a way to stop this or at least reset it ? the lock procedure is already maintained in approval procedure customizing.
Best Regards.

Hi Karthik,
Thanks for the quick reply, however the settings mentioned on page 38 are already in place i.e. the approval procedure gets determined correctly based on change category (rule policy) and also is locked after putting it to 'Awaiting Approval'
But the problem exists - setting the status 'Awaiting App.' without selecting app.proc, will result in a total lock of the RFC.

Unable to edit Confirmation for a limit PO.

Hi,
This is related to Confirmation in SRM 5.00 for a limit PO.
The status of this confirmation is "ERROR IN PROCESS". I've seen that there is error while posting the SES to backend.
This is because of missing some field entries while posting confirmation, Now I want to change the confirmation and make corrections, but i find that all the buttons ( change, delete......) are inactive/greyed out.
Is it not possible to change a limit confirmation once saved and approved. Then how do i delete it, if all the options are greyed out.
Please help me

Hi Muthu,
Thank-you for the response.
Yes we have posted a confirmation again to get the process moving, as i knew that missing entries in the field caused the error.
But what I would like to know is why isn't it possible to delete or change this confirmation to correct the wrong entries responsible fo the error.
Why all the buttons are greyed out, though nothing is posted at backend

PO creation for approved requisitions

Hi Gurus,
can anybody please throw some light and help me with this scenario. We have release procedure setup for requsitions for cost centers only. The approval levels we have are 1000-5000 is level1, 5001-10000 is level2 and 10001+ is level3. If a user puts in a requisition for 4000 USD, it goes for approval to person A. once it is approved this is ready to be convertted to PO. Now at this POint the buyer has teh capability to cut the PO against any amount higher than 4000 which was originally put on the requisition. Now my question here is since the requisition has been aprroved for 4000 USD which is in the limit of 1000 -5000, it is OK for us if the buyer goes ahead and creates a PO for 5000. But we dont want the buyer to create a PO for next limits like 5001 and above as the requsition was approved for only the limit range of 1000-5000. Similarly the buyer can create the PO for a lesser dollar amount also than 4000. These chaanges occur because by the time the PO is created the rrates might change in the real world. Can anybody please let me knwo if there is a way to put a hard error in PO creation if the buyer tries to create thee PO for an amount outside of the approved limit on the requisition.
Thanks
Anusha

Technically what Jurgen said, plus . . .
From a pure business point of view the PR is for business approval of a potential expenditure, value as indicated on the PR. That is business approval only.
The PO is the commercial aspect where the purchasing dept. take the PR and convert it to a PO, at the best cost they can for the requirement.
The person who created the PR puts an indicative value, the buyer who coverts it to a PO puts a definitive value, do you really want to go through the PR release loop every time market conditions dictate otherwise (or at least put a tolerance on it).

Nick

Split PR/PO values to allow pass approval limit, how can we control this?

Is there a way to limit the number of approvals that can be done on PR / PO per hour / day / week (for the same account, position, category, item).
The purpose of this not to enable users to split the PR/PO values in multiple PR/PO to allow approval limit pass, that is, PR = $3000 will not be approved since it is more that the approval limit of finance manager whereas PR 1 = $1000, PR 2 = $ 1000, PR 3 = $ 1000 will pass.
How can we avoid this?

Thank you Martin for your reply.
In option 2 does this mean if I am a member of the help desk who has the privilege to edit the user, I will be able to go to users/manage and another users/manage2 for example. In users/manage, I can view all the fields on the user with no edit button. In users/manage2, I can view only the fields I am authorized to edit, and there is an edit button on this page?
I have never done this so I am trying to imagine what the interface would look like and what the data flow would be.
In option 3, I have never thought of this solution. But now I understand that this could be an option.
Thanks
Khanh
