MSS approval hierarchy - HRWPC_EVAL_PATH

hi,
My requirement is that the manager should be able to make the approval process only for the employees belonging to the lower level org units, except for the managers directly subordinated to his org unit
for the same I guess i need to use the function module HRWPC_EVAL_PATH .
Now my question is what i need to populate to the 'TABLES' parameters of the function module.
thanks in advance.

How to implement Approval hierarchy for Sales Order in Order Management.

Hi,
We need approval process for sale orders in Order Management module. Currently we are using credit HOLD option for orders at shipping level. The issue we are facing now is we can not cancel those orders who contains Service Line item in it while on HOLD. The restriction raised at the time of cancelling the order that the Line Item is "fulfilled". Service line item's get fulfilled.
Is that any other possibility to have Approval hierarchy for Sales Orders in Order Management Module? If it is possible can anybody share the related document or implementation guide?
Thanks with anticipation in advance.
Many Regards

I copied the standard order header workflow and the "Book Order, Manual" workflow to custom workflows. I then modified the "Book Order, Manual" workflow to put another completely custom workflow (call this "Approvals") in between the "Book Eligible" and "Book" steps.
The "Approvals" step assessed the sales order, changed the order header to the pending approval flow_status_code, and sent out the appropriate notifications. The "Approvals" step returned a Complete/Incomplete where complete would proceed to "Book" and incomplete would go back to "Book Eligible." The new workflow was then assigned to the order type needed. I don't still have access to that environment (job change) or I would give more definite instructions.

Hi,When I submit the budget for approval, it is approved and base lined when we submit it for approval. It does not go in approval hierarchy. We want it to flow through approval hierarchy.

Hi Amit,
if I understand correctly, you just need for a particular object a tooltip to be showed.
There is no such functionality hence you used the trick of using a hyperlink, which if clicked generates undesired behavior.
Hyperlinks don't allow themselves to be disabled, therefore if you are using that workaround you must cope with that.
I would suggest to create an Idea at [https://ideas.sap.com] for having in the properties of an object a tooltip, then post the link to the idea here and other users will vote if they like the idea.
Thanks and regards,

PO approval hierarchy

In case a person belonging to a particular position in the approval hierarchy is on leave, he should be able to depute someone(selected beforehand) to carry out this job. Is it possible to map this? How?

Simply setup a vacation rule that will automatically forward the notification to someone else.
This can be done by either the person going on a vacation or Workflow Admin.
Hope this helps

MSS approval Working time

Hi gurus,
We are using MSS 1.0 and EP 7 .I have a small problem.For the approval working Time we are using task TS20000460 task and we modified it based on the requirement of the client .Now we have discovered that when manager approves the time in MSS , the infotypes are updated automatically which the client does'nt want that to happen.Is the MSS approval will work the same way or it's because of workflow.Is there any setting to be done so that when the manager approves it the update will go into the CATSDB table but not the infotypes.
Reply is needed very urgently on this.
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
You need to update the CATSWF transaction not to transfer immediately. Also in the approval profile for the iview SAP_Line uncheck the box to transfer immediate.
Hope this helps and maybe by now you have found your answer.

MSS Approval Report Links to Busines Workflow Task in UWL

Hello All,
I have a scenario below that I'm hoping you can help.
I copied the standard business workflow task "TS31000007: CATS Approval by Supervisor" to create our own task (general task) and link the 'CatManagerApprove' application and 'sap.com/msscatapproval' package to this task in the Workflow Visualization Configuration.
We then assigned this new task to the time data entry profile for the portal. Once, employee released the working time, the task is created and send to the Universal Worklist.
The manager can then access the UWL and open this approve time workflow task. This task is open to the MSS Approval Report (similar to what appear under the MSS > Tasks > Approve Time by Manager).
However, I have copied the Approve Time by Manager to our own and changed some of the order of the column and header text and assigned to the MSS role.
I would like to have this CATS approval task open to the same approval report view/layout as in the MSS Approval Report.
I've tried to change the layout (column order) through portal contents of the standard MSS Approval Report because I thought it was reading from there, but it's not.
Does anyone know how this can be done or where to point to the MSS Approval Report on the portal.
Any help would be appreciated!

Hi Karri,
We were able to use the launch iview task to launch our specific iview but I cannot seem to get it to recognize the workitem. In other words, when I click on the task in the UWL, my approve working time iview appears but it does not have the data that is from the workflow task item. Attached is the XML code that I used:
<ItemType name="uwl.task.webflow.TS93000001.SAP_ECC_Financials" connector="WebFlowConnector" defaultView="DefaultView" defaultAction="launchIView" executionMode="default">
      <ItemTypeCriteria systemId="SAP_ECC_Financials" externalType="TS93000001" connector="WebFlowConnector"/>
      <Actions>
        <Action name="launchIView" groupAction="" handler="IViewLauncher" returnToDetailViewAllowed="yes" launchInNewWindow="yes" launchNewWindowFeatures="resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,status=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,directories=no">
          <Properties>
            <Property name="newWindowFeatures" value="resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,status=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,directories=no"/>
            <Property name="page" value="pcd:portal_content/net.saccounty.SacCounty/net.saccounty.approve_ts_data"/>
            <Property name="openInNewWindow" value="yes"/>
            <Property name="display_order_priority" value="5"/>
            <Property name="workitemId" value="${item.externalId}"/>
          </Properties>
          <Descriptions default=""/>
        </Action>
      </Actions>
    </ItemType>
I thought the line <Property name="workitemId" value="${item.externalId}"/> would pick up the work item ID, but it is not working. Any suggestions?
TS93000001 is our task. approve_ts_data is our iview. It opens in a new window correctly and goes to the correct iview, just is not the actual task data.
Thank you,
Mark.

Approval Hierarchy or an Approver for a MENU

Dear All,
If I divide all Standard Project Manager Responsibility's MENUs or Functions in SDLC Format in a Custom Responsibility like....
1) Initiation (label)
a. Menu 1
b. Menu 2
2) Planning (label)
a. Menu 3
b. Menu 4
c. Menu 5
3) Execution (label)
a. Menu 6
b. Menu 7
c. Menu8
In this SDLC, can we define "Approval Hierarchy" or an "Approver" for all the phases ?? So that the Project Manager needs to take Approaval before going to the Next Phase of SDLC.
Khan.

Hi
There is no standard functionality that link between responsibility menu, sub-menu, functions and the approval hierarchy of any business process.

How to create new approval hierarchy

Dear Experts, I want to know if we can create a new approval hierarchy.
I know that there is a existing seeded hierarchy. We create new process and it goes for review and finally it gets approved. But this would happen according to roles assigned to the users and that to for only two steps one is the reviewer and other is the approver, but i want that there be 2 reviewer and 3 approver, than how can i assign any further roles for the same process to be to be reviewed and approved by more people.
1) Can we create new approval hierarchy.if yes then how?
2) what will be there roles assigned to them?
3) if it can be done by rules , than what is the scripts for the same.?
4) If it can be done with perspective hierarchy then how to confirgure and what roles to assign?
Please help me with the above problem.
Regards,
Prince

This can be done, but it will require work using Flow Rules and perhaps Form Rules. This is a complex setup you're looking for, and I would recommend seeking a professional implementer to assist you. People like Oracle Consulting for GRC is available and have had success in these type of setups.

What out-of-box actions initiated by HR go through MSS approval?

Hello,
I'm new to HR, and have been asked to find out what out-of-box actions are there that can be initiated by HR (not employees, but HR employees), that will go through a MSS approval process?
For example: Retention Payments are initiated by Comp Analyst; then approved by employee’s Manager, HR Manager, Compensation Manager; then sent to Payroll.
Are there other processes/actions like this that exist? E.g. initiating a spot bonus.
I appreciate that we can build anything we want. What we would like to know is what's seeded?
I also appreciate that this question is a little open ended, but if anyone can point me the right direction that would be a start. There is mountains of documentation that I have to plow through.

Hi,
Seems to me the quickest way for you to get this information is to review the AME transactions for SSHR or whichever module you are looking for.

Project Approval Hierarchy

I want to setup Project Approval Hierarchy .I want to know what are the neccessary setups to do so ?

What Prasanna said is correct. Also below is the way to do the setup for this.
You need to setup the Project Type to use the Approval workflow in the Status/workflow tab of the project types window.
Also you should mention the item type and process of the workflow to be called during status change in the 'Project Statuses' form's workflow tab.
Thanks,

Approval Hierarchy

Hi,
Issue :-1
I am sending an document for approval ( Standard Purchase order) .
1. Mr "A" has entered the data and sent for approval and the document is in "IN PROCESS"
2.Mr "B" has received the notiification and submitted for approval .
Problem :
From his notification the document has been sent as "APPROVED" but the document is still showing "IN PROCESS"
What I Tried
1. Checked the approval hierarchy -- correct
2. Ran the workflow background engine - with deferred - Y -- completed
3. Ran the fill employee hierarchy - completed
but no luck
Regards

Check the Purchase Order Approval Workflow. Query the same in Workflow Administrator.
It seem Approver B is not having authority to Approver the Document. Supervisor of B is not present or end-dated and Workflow is not able to find the Correct Approver.
Purchase Order is has dynamic Approval, in which it will not build the entire list during but will send for the next level of Approver once current approver approve the notification.
You check the setup for Approval. If its Employee Supervisor Herirachy then check for the Supervisor of B. Else check the reporting position of B's position and its setup is correct or not.
If its Position Herirachy.

Approval hierarchy to issue Minimum safety stock

Hi Guys,
We have a requirement to have an automated approval hierarchy for issuing the inventory below a safety stock limit defined. How can we achieve that. I know that there is some option as "minimum safety stock" in SAP, but we need that a workfklow to be activated when the stock reaches to this level and only after approval it should be allowd to be issued. Is it possible to implement?

Hi,
There is no approval concept in this case. But you may check the below work around, Activate availability check for the material. Then you may maintain the message M7181 as user specific and maintain it as error message for the users who are NOT supposed to issue the goods below the safety stock. Refer the thread: message to be make error for specific user id
You may create a program to find the materials with stock equal to safety stock and send the result. You may schedule the job in background with specific interval. Also refer the thread: Material alert workflow
