Manage Items with Approval

Hi,
We have our Intranet site set up so that all users have 'Manage Items With Approval' privileges to every page group. However, the 'Manage Items with Approval' privileges doesn't allow the users to create pages in the page group. Is there any way to give users the ability to create pages from the navigator but still require approval for new items that they create?
Thanks,
Steven.

Hi Steven,
The MIWA privilege is intended for content contributor type of folks who are adding file/text content to an existing page - not the type of user you would want creating a page and being asked questions like what template, style to use, ACLs, etc.
Unfortunately we don't have a priv that matches up with your use case in the current release (10g). The good news is that the next release will include a feature that allows a page to be configured such that all content added to it (no matter what the assigned user privs) will go through an approval process.

Creating pages,item WITH approval.

Hi,
I found out how to create a page and add an item to that page automatically. But now I need to find out how to use this with approval.
1) I noticed that approval only exists on the item level and not the page level. Is this correct?
2) How can I make that the page/item I create automatically, has to be approved? The approval will be done in a normal way, through the existing approval portlet. Normally one should enable approval control on the page, create a user and give this user the 'manage items with approval' rights, all items published by this user, will not be published before approval.
Can someone provide an example, on how to mark an item for approval programmatically?
The function add_item contains a parameter 'p_author - Author of the item.'. Can this be used, as I enable the author to 'manage items with approval'?
Cheers
B.

Even If I bypass the public user problem and do the following:
-- create new page
    l_new_page_id := wwsbr_api.add_folder( p_caid             => l_caid,
                                            p_name             => l_uppertext,
                                            p_display_name     => l_text,
                                            p_type_id          => wwsbr_api.FOLDER_TYPE_CONTAINER,
                                            p_type_caid        => wwsbr_api.SHARED_OBJECTS
    -- Process cache invalidation messages.
    wwpro_api_invalidation.execute_cache_invalidation;
    portal.wwctx_api_private.set_context( p_user_name => 'NEEDAPP', p_password => 'dummy');
    -- create new item
    l_text_item := 'This is a new item on the new page';
    l_new_item_master_id := wwsbr_api.add_item( p_caid              => l_caid,
                                                p_folder_id         => l_new_page_id,
                                                p_display_name      => 'This is the display name',
                                                p_type_id           => wwsbr_api.ITEM_TYPE_TEXT,
                                                p_type_caid         => wwsbr_api.SHARED_OBJECTS,
                                                p_region_id         => 0,
                                                p_text              => l_text_item
    -- Process cache invalidation messages.
    wwpro_api_invalidation.execute_cache_invalidation;
    wwctx_api.clear_context;
    owa_util.redirect_url(curl => l_back_url || '&' || l_reference_path || '.p_text=' || l_text);So, I change the context in my code to make sure that the item is created by the user NEEDAPP. This works, the page is created first (by the user who invoked the portlet) and an item is placed on the page. I can even see the item showing up in my 'PENDING ITEMS LIST' for approval.
BUT
After the procedure I am NOT redirected to the page where I submitted the form bu instead I get an error:
Fout: De listener heeft het volgende bericht geretourneerd: 503 Service Unavailable
What is the problem?

How to show catalog items with Approval Status:Pending in a Content Search Webpart

How to show catalog items with Approval Status:Pending in a Content Search Webpart using cross site publishing. Thanks in advance.

I don't think you're going to be able to. Usually Approval Status is used in conjunction with Major/Minor versioning and while Approval Status is pending the item is usually a draft.
As a result the search crawler should not be able to see the draft items as it would not have the necessary rights to do so. (Good practice ensures that the Search Crawler has only read access and is not an elevated account for this reason)

How to manage items withing categories?

I want to be able to list and sort (in admin panel) all items in a web app or other area tagged with a specific category. However, the Category listing option is alphabetical, and what if I have more than one category that starts with A? for example: "Apples" "Apricots". If you have hundreds of items with different categories, it seems that you would need a way to sort them....
And once I can get a list of category "Apples" items, how to filter based on the data in the fields? Say customer entered "NO" to wanting a fruit item. I would like to be able to sort of filter all "Apple" category items, that fruit field has "NO" value.
And after I get that sorted view, how would I manage categories on these multiple items at once? Say add another category "Veggies" and remove "Apples" from several items at once. (can't do this manually if you have hundreds of items!
Please help!!!

Suppose i ve Form having Deptno Field and Ename field and both are List Item.... and I want in ename field list select those employee who are in selected Deptno on above list.
WHEN-New-Form Instance.
DECLARE

Problems with Approving Content

I have a problem when a person posts or edits content must be approved.
The other persons don't get a notifaction that content have to be approved.
And if the admin looks on the page and uses the approvement portlet there is nothing to approve.
In addition the content (i used normal textitem) can't be edited by anyone other.
Do i have to add the persons which should do the approvement to special groups or roles? Is there anything what i have to pay attention on?
Hope anyone can help and sry for my english.

hi,
As far as I know, for approval process to be run successfully, setup is required at the very start.
1. Under page group [Configure] tab, tick the [Approval and Notifications] checkbox.
2. Under [Approval] tab, design your approval workflow, ie. who will be the approvers and in what sequence.
3. Create a page under the same page group.
4. Under [Access] tab of the page, add users who can add/update contents to the page with "Manage items with Approval" privilege.
5. Add the "Edit" link on the page for the authorized users.
6. Add "My Notification" portlet for approvers so that they can be notifiied if any request of approval is outstanding.
That is what I do now.
Thanks

Specific Identification Cost for batch managed items (Follow-Up from P2P)

Specific Identification Cost method is used for serial and batch managed item. Using this method, the outbound cost of such items would be the original cost of specific goods, which can be determined according to the serial or batch number of that item.
Business One allows the user to receive batch managed items with a batch number that already exists in the DB. Its possible that the received quantity is added to on-hand quantity in the warehouse. In such case, the quantity on-hand of that batch and the received quantity may have different costs.
What should be the system behavior in such case:
1. Block receipts to the same batch with different costs.
2. Write the difference to a price difference account, as done in Standard Cost method.
3. Manage the batch cost with Moving Average method.
This thread is continuation from 'Specific Identification Cost for batch managed Items' <a href="http://p2p.sap.com/businessoneforum?type=join&login=1&uid=41FB661A76CED536C825C4E2B6FF4397&cid=91&go=z37225">discussion</a> in P2P SAP Business One Forum (Product Development Collaboration).
Previous discussion on P2P is summarized in the attached file.

Hi Peter,
This is a very important functionality that you are describing here. For example, in the Steel industry, it could be extremely useful to cost by batch or serial number.
If you receive a batch that already exists in the system and if the costing method for the product is moving average, then teh cost of the batch should be calculated based on the moving average as well.
If the costing method is standard, then the cost should go in a variance account.
If the costing method is FIFO, then it is a getting trickier...

How to change the posting date in UD stock posting for a HU managed item?

Hi,
We are using Handling Unit managed items with QM activation. For a specific HU managed material, we wanted to post the stock on a previous date. We have created PO on a back date and made GR also on a back date. Now the problem is, the system has generated an inspection lot. Now while trying to do UD and stock posting, I do not see the "Doc" tab which we normally see in UD stock posting for normal inspection lots (non-HU managed items) for changing the date.
I don't see any other way to change the posting date for the HU managed item in UD stock posting. Anyone can help please?
Thanks & Regards,
Madhavan Krishnamoorthy.

I don't think you can.

Post open items with clearing for a account nt previously open item managed

Hi,
We have a current VAT account which was not open item managed till April 2008. Since the account has a zero balance we were able to make it open item managed from May onwards.
Using transaction code FS10N we see that there are some items which are open (type SB and SA). We want to post these items with clearing.
Moreover the postings made in the vat account are done every month but they are manual postings only using T.Code FB50 and as checked using the transaction code OB40.
We are not also allowed to run program RSEPA02. as this is not a standard program and not recommended to be run by SAP.
Could anyone please sujjest how can we post the previous items with clearing.
Thanks and regards,
Priyajit.

Hi,
In this case when you are shifting account from open item to non open item all the open item debit and credit side to a dummy account and when account is converted into open item you have to reverse the earlier entries.
Check this with what exactly you have done.
Assign points if solved the problem.
Warm Regards

Customising a SharePoint list content type form - "Manage multiple list items with this form"

I have designed a form for a content type on an existing SharePoint list. When I ran the initial wizard, I selected
Manage multiple list items with this form which is great, exactly what I want.
But, there are some columns in this content type that I do not want repeating and have them moved them outside of the Repeating Section but I am getting the below error. I can't seem to find a way to create a new non-repeating group though. Any
advice on how to do this?

Approval - view pending items with view page

Is it possible to view pending items with view page? I know it is possible to view it in graphical mode, but our content manager want's to see the end result.
Maybe i'm missing something. (We have portal 9.0.4.1.0 (Build: 129), upgrade to a newer version would be no problem)
Tia,
Dirk

Hi Dirk -
The next major version of Portal (10.1.4) also only shows the "View Pending Items" mode, which is the same as graphical mode, except with the pending items of course.
Sorry to give the answer you did not want to hear.

Subject : PO Release Strategy not changed after deletion of few line items with less Total PO
Dear Friends
We have issue with PO Release strategy. We have created the PO. with release strategy with multiple approvers. After approval of first approval manager , one of the PO line item got deleted and Total PO value is reduced . The new PO value should have changed the PO release strategy. But it is not changed. Old release strategy only showing in the PO which is wrong.
Details of the PO
PO no 4500000123 with 5 line items Total PO value : 100,000 USD Release strategy : AB
PO line item 5 deleted. Now total PO value changed to 50,000 USD and the PO release strategy should have been changed to AA but not changed. Still showing PO release strategy AB only.
Are there any OSS notes available to correct his bug.
Please let me know if you need more details
Thanks in Advance

And check Characteristic description and value in Classification of Release strategies ........
I hope this will help you. Thanking you.

Manage Item Cost per Warehouse

Previous posts have confirmed that it is not possible to change the Manage Item Cost per Warehouse option once any inventory transactions have been posted. One entry posted in Feb 2010 (below) even offered a link to other "Irreversible Ticks" (although that link is now broken). This limitation is required in order to preserve the relational integrity of the system, within its design architecture.
Manage item cost per warehouse
If a database has been in operation for several years with company-level costing, and business changes now force tracking costs by warehouse, I see no option other than creating a new database with the per-warehouse option, then loading items, inventory, GL, etc. Unfortunately, all history (GL transactions, document history, change log, etc.) is no longer available in that database.
Is anyone aware of SAP plans or tools to support any other alternatives to this kind of business change?
Thanks, Dave

Hi Dave,
I am afraid creating a new database is your only option.
For old data, you may still keep access for certain reports. All open items has to be imported to new db. It is a kind of manual archiving. Your database performance will gain a lot though.
Thanks,
Gordon
