Multi-Parallel approval of Requisition by voting in Purchasing
I need to customized to seeded Requisition approval workflow so than when a requisition has mulitiple charge accounts, it needs an approval from all the concened approvers before requisition can be turned into purchase order.
I was wondering if anyone has done this? How is the list of approvers created - to send out the notifications to appropriate approvers?
Any feedback is greatly appreciated

RFx Parallel approval workflow
Dear Experts,
I'm looking for sample code on how to implement the BADI agent determination with multiple areas for header (decision type 1) for RFx (BUS2200).
I made all the required settings for parallel approval, but it for SC. The BAdI implementation for parallel approval /SAPSRM/BD_WF_SC_RR_PA works only with SC and Decision Type must be 4 — Item-Based Decision for Partial Document.
Thanks,

Hi,
In SRM 5.0 workflow WS14000133- n level approval of SC at header level, Is there a feature by which we can have parallel approval, but ensure that SC goes to next level only when all the parallel approvers have approved the cart?
Currently in our system, the cart is pushed to next level even if one approver approves it and the work item is removed from the inbox of all other approvers.
Regards,
SrivatsanHi Srivatsan,
As far as I know it is not possible. But why would you want this? If you want paralel approval, wouldn't it be better to go for item level approval, so the items are approved by the person responsible.

Parallel approval nest sequent approval for SC
Dear All
I am using SRM7.02.
I can realize parallel approval for SC as following.
only after A1 and B1 approved. the process will end or enter next level.
But , the customer gave me a new challege, as the following.
The work item is sent to A1 and B1, after A1 approved , A2 would receive the work item. after B1 approved, B2 would receive the work item.
Only after both A2 and B2 approved. the process end or enter next level.
any experts can give me some suggestion?
thanks in advance
JesseHi Jesse,
Even our clients in my earlier project, asked for a similar workflow. But SRM workflow wont support that because there are few scenarios which makes things complex. For example, when we have a combination of type 1 and type 3 approvals in a single flow, a part of the document reaches type 1 approver and a part doesn't. And also if a cart items are distinguished into one set in approval level 1, and they can be in different sets in next level even if all approval levels are of type 3 or type 4.

my question is this:
i want to send an activity to multiple approvers at same level for approval. these approvers i will get at run time.
i have given multiline element in mislanious tab of that activity.
it is working fine and activity is going to all approvers.
but now in parallel approval i did not find how to know which approver had aproved and rejected it.
as i have to run the WF for next level if any one of them reject it.
is there any way to get the information of parallel process without defining different variable for each parallel approval process.
as we get no of parallel process at run time we cannot do it.
so if you can help me out for this problem i will be very thankful to you.
please reply soon its a bit urgent.Create a fork with 2 parallel branch and 1 necessary branch. Now in 1 branch you put a wait for Event step and in the other you put the parallel approval task. When the user is using the Reject fnality you need to raise the event that you have put in the wait for event step. Regarding the WI_ACTUAL_AGENT Container element you need to bind this value from Task to Workflow in order to know which user has executed this workitem. I think if you have confusion try to make use of parallel subworkflow instead of parallel task.
Thanks

Parallel Approval in Self Servie HR (SSHR)
Hi All,
We have a requirement in which we need to send approval to multiple people at once. And if any approver approves the transaction, it should be considered approved and should not require any further approvals.
According to the metalink note 473038.1, parallel approval is not possible in SSHR but the workaround is available using Roles in HRMS.
I tried using this workaround and it seems only half of this solution is working and half not. It sends approvals and it is visible in Worklist but not sending any approval emails for approvers. Approver has to go into SSHR and has to approve the transaction. There is no push notification or any other way for approver to know that there is any action pending for his attention. Is there any solution which can send approval mails? Or any other solution for the parallel approvals?
Thanks for help in advance.
Regards,
CAHHi,
Thanks for looking into the issue.
I can receive the FYI notifications. So the notification mailer is up. Also, for other transactions, where only one approver is required, I am able to receive the notification. So Notification Style is also not disabled.
Any other thought?
Thanks,

Hi All,
Our customer requires Parallel Approval in quoting. (Approval mail to be sent to more than one approver). Customer will be using AME.
Is there any way we can achieve this? Please confirm.
- Mahesh JayaramanAt this time, Quoting doesn't support parallel approval. you can follow this approach as mentioned in this document.
You can follow the workaround mentioned in the Whitepaper Note 471125.1 Configuring Parallel Approvers Notification Using Oracle Approvals Management for Oracle Self-Service Human Resources (R11i10/R12)
If you need help, please let me know.
Thanks

How to implement a parallel approval?
Hi, all.
My process has a parallel approval, but I have no idea how to implement it.
I have a task which has to be approved by three different managers parallelly.
If all of them approve the task, then the task will keep going, otherwise the task fails.
Besides I also have to monitor which manager doesn`t make a decision yet.
Can any have the same requirement with mine?Hi Louis,
I think this document do provide some steps for creating parallel blocks approval type.Hoping this might resolve or act as help in the query you are facing.Link : [parallel|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/8269bdb8-0701-0010-4692-c3349106ec66].

Dynamic Parallel Approval for HCM Process and Forms
Hi everyone,
I have a scenario where I need to use the "Dynamic Parallel Approval" (or to keep it simple, initially I tried using the "Parallel Approval" wizard)for a workflow used in the HCM Process and Forms.
The standard task for approval in process and forms is TS17900101. I have mentioned a multiline container in the Miscellaneous tab of this task. However,I was unable to use this task in the wizard. There are no results attahced to this task unlike any other standard approval task (like TS30200147). I need to use the task TS17900101 in the workflow assigned to process and forms, but not sure how to handle this scenario (parallel approval).
If this is not the right way of doing it, Is there any workaround for "Parallel Approval" in HCM Process and Forms.
Could anybody throw some light around this area.
Thanks for your help.
- MMThanks Anuj. But I believe, the container element that I add in the miscellaneous tab does not necessarily have to be used in the agent assignment. The multiline container is just to instantiate the workitem 'n' number of times. Correct me if I am wrong.
My concern is that I was unable to use this approval task (TS17900101) in the workflow wizard for dynamic paralle/parallel approval.
Arghadip - Thanks for your suggestion. I have seen some your nice contributions in the WF forum.
I actually tried using the 'Blocks'. But this is what I ran into. When I send multiple approval requests (say 3), if one person has approved it and the second has rejected it,I need to take out the workitem from the third person's list (because it has been rejected by someone in the group). I am not sure if this is possible using Blocks. And in my case the third person is still having the workitem, but gets a dump/error when he tries to open it.
Also, if any one has rejected the request, I do not have to wait for the rest to take any action on the workitem and proceed further. But I guess in 'Blocks' it will not let you go out unless every workitem has been processed.
To summarize,here's what I need - I need to come out of the block for two conditions. One, if everyone has approved, comeout of the block with an apprval flag. Two, if anyone has rejected (even if some have not processed their workitem), delete the workitems from others inbox and come out of the block with a rejection flag.
So, any kind of input or suggestions on how this could be handled would be highly appreciated.
Thanks

Project Workflow Extension for Multi level approval
Hi,
We have a requirement of 2 or 3 level of approval on Project Workflow for Project Status Change. We are planning to use the Seeded extension provided by Oracle to get the Approver for Project Status Change.
The extension procedure provided pa_client_extn_project_wf . select_project_approver has only one out parameter that is Approver id. This means it's only possible 1 level of approval.
Please help me to find out the way how can i make this work for multi level Approval.
Regards,
RamHi Paul,
Thanks for your suggestion.
By comments field I'm assuming OfficeTask.Comments field. Problem is, this field is always null. I tried accessing this field in CheckExitCondition activity as well as in OnTaskCompleted but in both the cases, it was null only(I wrote comments while approving
the task).
I used a code activity within OnTaskCompleted activity and following code for accessing Comments and Description fields:
public string officeComments;
public string officeDescription;
private void TaskCOmplete(object sender, EventArgs e)
CodeActivity Sender = (CodeActivity)sender;
Microsoft.Office.Workflow.Actions.OfficeTask ofctask1 = ((CompositeActivity)Sender.Parent).Parent as Microsoft.Office.Workflow.Actions.OfficeTask;
officeComments = ofctask1.Comments;
officeDescription = ofctask1.Description;
Please tell me if I'm doing anything wrong here, I'm very new to Workflows. Also, do I need to set any specific property of officeTask for retriving comments?
Thank you -
Required Parallel Approval from OTL Timekeeper Entry Form
Hi All,
Is it possible to perform parallel approval from OTL timekeeper entry form? it is using the following workflow OTL Seeded Approval Workflow HXCSAW(i think) if it is using this workflow can we change this workflow or need to write a new workflow for above mentioned requirement.
Please share you experiences , its urgent
Regards,
SsaliHi,
HXCSAW is a custom workflow which do nothing accept approving and that can be change as per customer requirement. This child workflow called by parent workflow process HXCEMP. If u going to change the HXCSAW then u also need to change the seeded package associated with this workflow to embed your logic.
We have done it through SSHR timesheet entry page, no idea if OTL timekeeper entry form carries approval or not.
Whts the nature of ur parallel approval ? and how u can able to manage if via workflow ?

Converting WF to Multi level approval.
Hi,
I want to convert my standard WF to go Multi Level. I dont want to make any changes in standard. How can I achieve this and make my WF approvals n rejection go Multi level Approval.
Himanshu.Hi...
What workflow are you talking about. Can you be more clear on your requirement.
If you dont want to make any changes in the workflow, but still you want mutliple approvals then i guess it will be difficult. For some workflows standard SAP has provided configuration in SAP IMG which will handle multiple approvals with a single workflow design.
Please let us know what scenario are you talking about.
