Missing "Approve" button to approve the expenses

Hello all,
Our production system is running ESS/MSS. Last couple days, some of the users have been reporting that they are not able to approve the expense reports because they do not see "Approve" button, instead, they are seeing "Assign to me" button.
Could anybody please suggest what could be happening?
Thanks!

Hi Sunitha
where are they not viewing the approve button?
Is this in uwl or on the screen where they try to approve the workflow.
"assign to me button in generally in uwl page and you need to click on the workitem to launch"
confirming above will help in absense of system access.
thank you

"PO APPROVAL" BUTTON이 PO APPROVAL WORKFLOW를 CALL하는 방법
=====================================================
PURPOSE
Purchase Order나 Requisition Form에서 "PO Approval" Button이
어떻게 PO Approval Workflow를 CALL하는지에 대한 방법을 기술함.
Explanation
1. Purchasing approbal에서 Approve button을 Click하게 되면,
APPROVAL WINDOW form이 call됩니다.
==> this is form POXDOAPP.fmb
==> attached corresponding library file POXAPAPC.pll
Both Enter Requisition and Enter Purchase Order forms call
the same approval form.
2. The library file "POXAPAPC.pll"은
Procedure "PO_WF_APPROVE_C.SetUpWorkFlow" 가 존재하며,
이 procedure는 POXWPA1B.pls package file안에 있는 procedure
"PO_REQAPPROVAL_INIT1.Start_WF_Process"를 call하게 됩니다.
3. 이 procedure가 workflow를 call하게 되어 workflow를 초기화하고
아래의 parameter를 사용한 workflow를 통해 document를 처리하게
됩니다.
parameters:
PO_REQAPPROVAL_INIT1.Start_WF_Process

Customize Oracle Workflow Approve button action

I have a requirement to add a confirmation dialog page on click of the Approve button of a Internet Expense Approval notification page.
Like if the Expense type is of a particular type then the user must be prompted with a confirmation page. if user selects Yes then it should lead to approval and if clicks No then should come back to the Notification page where he can review the Expense Report again and proceed again for approval.
Can the approval button click be customized to achieve this?
Please help.

Hi BM,
I found the even for Approve button (pageContext.getParameter("wklEvent").equals('RR0')), but we would need to know the what are the parameters we need to pass and and what is the forwardurl for when user click the Yes button in confirmation page. Say example in the below code what are the parameters we would need to keep for Dialogue page and again pass into seeded process. What is the URL we need to call for when user click "Yes" butto
public void processFormRequest(OAPageContext pageContext, OAWebBean webBean)    {
HashMap params = new HashMap();
//Here what are the parameters we need to keep when user click the Yes button
if(pageContext.getParameter("wklEvent").equals('RR0')){// When Approve button clkicked
renderReqUpdateDialogPage(pageContext, params);
if (pageContext.getParameter("updateYesEvent") != null) {
            pageContext.writeDiagnostics(this, "Inside updateYesEvent ",
                                             1);
            HashMap params = new HashMap();
pageContext.setForwardURL("OA.jsp?page=/oracle/apps/pa/webui/InvRvwProjPG",
   null,
   OAWebBeanConstants.KEEP_MENU_CONTEXT,
   null, params, true,
   OAWebBeanConstants.ADD_BREAD_CRUMB_NO,
   OAWebBeanConstants.IGNORE_MESSAGES);
public void renderReqUpdateDialogPage(OAPageContext pageContext,
                                          HashMap params) {
        OAException mainMessage =
            new OAException("EAP", "INV_RETURN_MSG");
        OADialogPage dialogPage =
            new OADialogPage(OAException.WARNING, mainMessage, null, "", "");
        pageContext.writeDiagnostics(this,
                                     "After OADialogPage dialogPage stmt ", 1);
        String yes = pageContext.getMessage("AK", "FWK_TBX_T_YES", null);
        String no = pageContext.getMessage("AK", "FWK_TBX_T_NO", null);
        dialogPage.setOkButtonItemName("updateYesEvent");
        dialogPage.setOkButtonToPost(true);
        dialogPage.setNoButtonToPost(true);
        dialogPage.setPostToCallingPage(true);
        dialogPage.setOkButtonLabel(yes);
        dialogPage.setNoButtonLabel(no);
        pageContext.redirectToDialogPage(dialogPage);

JFileChooser in OS X: Approve Button Disabled In Empty Directory

I have written a simple extended JFileChooser-based 'wizard' to assist in working with sound files in an application. It's a JDialog, which contains a JFileChooser to which is added a file preview (player) accessory. In step 1 you choose a file. In step 2 I reset the current directory to the destination. The user then presses the approve button ad it drops a copy of the selected file into the current directory.
This works OK in Windows, but in OS X the approve button is disabled if nothing is selected in the current directory. If the destination directory is empty there is no way to get the approve button to be enabled. JFileChooser allows you to modify a few properties of the approve button, but hides the button itself. Is there any way to ensure that this button is enabled even if the current directory is empty or nothing is selected?
Thanks in advance for any ideas!

Hmm... perhaps in step 2 you could setFileSelectionMode(DIRECTORIES_ONLY) and allow the user to choose the directory?
To get better help sooner, post a SSCCE that clearly demonstrates your problem.

Disable approve button in jfileChooser (custom accessory)

i'm using a custom accessory in a JFileChooser. i want to listen for selection events and en/dis-able the approve button depending on the selected item. how do i access the approve button. FileChooserUI has no method, BasicFileChooser has a protected getApproveButton() method. i don't see any properties that i can fire....i guess i could just "look" within the JFileChooser for the button but that seems awkward.
any help much appreciated.

Unfortunatly you can get the button only through the UI.
Create a class extending the xxxFileChooserUI and create a method getApproveButton() :
public void getApproveButton() {
return(super.getApproveButton(null));
Through the UIManager set the good UI for JFileChooser.
I hope this helps,
Denis

Approve button missing for managers to approve trave & expenses

Hello all,
Our production system is running ESS/MSS. Last couple days, some of the users have been reporting that they are not able to approve the expense reports because they do not see "Approve" button, instead, they are seeing "Assign to me" button.
Could anybody please suggest what could be happening?

what is your portal version? Are there any recent SP updates?
check uwl wiki below
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BPX/UWL+FAQ#UWLFAQ-The%27Approve%27and%27Reject%27functionsaremissinginthecontextmenu
The Approve and Reject functions are missing in the context menu
Reason: The configuration XML file cannot be generated due to the missing RFC destination for the provider connector. The result is that the item type information, for example, available actions, dynamic parameters, visualization parameters, cannot be retrieved from the back end.
Solution: Refer to SAP note 1133821
In our environment EP7.0 SP18 , approve and reject buttons missed,after implementing above note,again they appeared.

GRC Access Control 5.3 CUP Role Provisioning Approval Buttons Missing

When Approvers receive a Request in Compliant User Provisioning via email they click on the link but the action buttons are missing. (example approval, reject approval buttons are missing). When they log in through the lauch pad the action buttons are visible.

Hi,
I would first check the links in the Application and redirect fields of the SMTP configuration.
Then I would check the authorisations as these buttons are governed by authorisation actions.
You can also look at the stage configuration and check whether th request reject field is set to show that button.

Did you configure the workflow mailer and btw check wf_notifications table too. I think you should ask this question in PO forums not in BIP

Disable the 'Approve' button on the TRIP Tcode

Hi ,
I need to Disable the 'Approve' button on the TRIP Tcode ( Travel management) security setting. User does not want TRIP tocde to be able to approve their own trip expenses. The approval button should be enabled in PR05 but not in TRIP.
So can someone suggest me, Can we achieve this through object restriction? Or else Do we need to change the codeing with the help of ABAPer .
Thanks & Regards

Eliminate the Option from the TCode screen by using Transaction Variant and then create a Variant Transaction for that. Assign this new custom TCode to the Users.
To know more on this process, please check the following thread just discussed:
Variant using SHD0

Infopath form, one approve button with three rules, what is the order of execution

i have designed a approval form the the "approval" button, it has three rules, one is submit to host, the second is set value to one field, the last one is to close form.
some times, especially when the server is too busy, the first rule execute a long time, at last it seams fail, but the second and the last execute ok.
that is, the workflow status is NOT START, but the value is set and the form is closed.
when the approver open the workflow, the approval form check the stateValue is changed, the form show one "already approvaled" view. but the workflow still NOT START.
i am very confused for this, hope someone give me some advices. thanks all guys!
lixw
i just know what has just happen. i changed some code, and this make some task been locked.
thanks everyone!

Why is the rule for updating a field value is set to execute after form submit? Shouldn't it be prior to submit?

'Approve' button not displaying in the Approve Role screen Inbox - AC 10

Hello Gurus,
I have a challenge and I'd be glad to have it fixed.
I am configuring Role Management in GRC AC 10.0.
I am in Approve Role phase.
After clicking on Initiate Approval....It send the request to the Role Owner's work inbox for approval.
However, when the role owner logs in, only the "Other actions" button shows. The "Approve" button does not show.
The "other actions" have options for "Hold" and "Request information"
Please note the following in the MSMP settings.
I am using the default settings in MSMP
Process ID - SAP_GRAC_ROLE_APPR
Maintain Path (Path ID - GRAC_DEFAULT_PATH ) & Stage Config ID - GRAC_DEFAULT_STAGE
Maintain Route Mapping - GRAC_ROLEAPPR_INITIATOR
Generate Version - Version generation was successful.
I have also assigned the following roles to the ROLE OWNER
SAP_GRAC_BASE
SAP_GRAC_NWBC
SAP_GRAC_ROLE_MGMT_DESIGNER
SAP_GRAC_ROLE_MGMT_ROLE_OWNER
SAP_GRAC_ROLE_MGMT_USER
Please help me...what am I doing wrong?
Thanks

Hi Colleen,
Thanks for reply. I have configured the workflow with default path and with one stage (role owner approval). When we create roles, request is being sent for role owner for approval.
Role owner is able to see the request in workplace inbox. But not able to approve it. We are getting the same kind of error when we raise requests for user access also (you can see the error screen shot for access request and the same kind of error is occurring for role approval also).
All requests are stuck up at role owner for approval. Quick response is much appreciated.

Hi all,
     I find that user have the authorization of "R_STS_SUP" can see the "Approved" button in STS running,without "R_STS_SUP" ,users can only have these:
·         From new to in process
·         From in process to for approval
·         From for approval to in process.
is that true? how can I let the users without "R_STS_SUP" can have "Approved" button?
    thank you!

Hi Stephen,
     thank you,I checked my user's authorization,he has R_STS_PT and Activity = 16. assume I have USER_A,USER_B ,I assiged USER_A to Headquarter,USER_B to HR dept. in STS running, USER_B can not see "Approved" button, but USER_A can see the lower level USER_B's "Approved" button, but in USER_A's own level ,USER_A can not see his "Approved" button.

Deactivate 'APPROVE'   button in the ALV in RCATS_APPROVE_ACTIVITIES.

Hi all,
I am trying to deactivate 'APPROVE'   button in the ALV output of the program RCATS_APPROVE_ACTIVITIES.
Any ideas???
Thanx in advance!!!!

Hello Grigoria
The following steps are necessary to implement your requirement:
(1) Create BAdI implementation for BAdI CATS_REPORTING (i.e. class implementing interface IF_EX_CATS_REPORTING => e.g. ZCL_IM_CATS_REPORTING).
(2) Add a public method HANDLE_TOOLBAR (to your BAdI implementing class) as event handler for event TOOLBAR of CL_GUI_ALV_GRID
(3) Set method HANDLE_TOOLBAR as event handler for the CATS displaying grid instance:
METHOD if_ex_cats_reporting~before_display_appr.
SET HANDLER: handle_toolbar FOR im_alv_grid.
ENDMETHOD.
(4) Inactive the APPROVE toolbar button within the event handler method:
METHOD handle_toolbar.
* define local data
DATA: ls_button   TYPE stb_button.
LOOP AT e_object->mt_toolbar INTO ls_button.
    CASE ls_button-function.
      WHEN cl_grid_approval_actexp=>co_ok_approve.
        ls_button-disabled = 'X'.
      WHEN OTHERS.
        CONTINUE.
    ENDCASE.
    MODIFY e_object->mt_toolbar FROM ls_button INDEX syst-tabix.
ENDLOOP.
ENDMETHOD.

Uwe

Cup Approval process requires multiple hits of the APPROVE button

Hello GRC CUP folks,
We have an approval process wherein a given request can require 4 levels of approvals to be provisioned. When a manager logs in to CUP, and tries to approve a request, she hits the APPROVE button, then the yellow status bar appears, showing the approval status so far for this request. And she has to hit the APPROVE button again. Then the yellow status for this current stage turns green and the workflow proceeds to the next stage. It is getting back to me that the managers are having trouble understanding and remembering that they have to hit the APPROVE button more than once (even though we added text to that effect in the approval email).
Is there some way to get the approval to process to the next stage with only one push of the APPROVE button?
Thanks for your ideas.
Yvonne

Hi Yvonne,
Please go to config -> workflow -> stage -> go to change mode for Manager stage.
Make sure that, 'Display Review Screen', 'Comments Mandatory' and 'Confirm Approval' are set to 'NO'. This will make sure that as soon as Manager hits Approve button, the request would be approved.

Alpesh
