N level-Approval for contract workflow (WS14000148) in SRM

Hi SDN'rs
I want to activate N level-Approval for contract workflow (WS14000148) in SRM
When I am creating the contract in SRM I can see the approvers in the approval preview.
But when I release the contract and look at the approval privew there are no approvers
and the status of the contract is released.
We are on SRM Server 5.5 and SP 07.
Here what I did
1. I implemented the BADI 'BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI' using the sample implementation and populated the approvers.
2. I activated events SAVED,CHANGEVERSIONSAVED for WS14000148 in OOCU transaction.
3. I see event linkages for WS14000148 for both events SAVED,CHANGEVERSIONSAVED in SWE2 transaction.
4. I assigned role SAP_EC_BBP_PURCHASER to for subworkflow N step for contract WS14000147.
( User who is creating contract has this role)
5. Consistency check for WS14000148 is green and WS14000147 is yellow in SWUD
6. Event simulation for BUS2000113 and events SAVED,CHANGEVERSIONSAVED shows WS14000148 successfully started.
I see dump in ST22 with errors TSV_TNEW_PAGE_ALLOC_FAILED and SYSTEM_NO_SHM_MEMORY with WF-BATCH is this any thing to do with that?
If any one know what are the steps I am missing please let me know.
Thanks

2 level approval for workflow

Hi all,
I am supposed to make an EP workflow for 2 level approval for absences or leaves. I am using a copy of workflow WS12300111. I am able to get the single level of approval, but not the second level. When the request goes to the second approver ( which is the supervisor of first approvar), it shows the leave requests of the first approvar and when I check the workplace of the employee who applied for the leave, his leave has the status 'approved'.
In other words, when the first supervisor or approvar approves the request, it gets approved and second approvar has no option to approve it again. Please suggest what to do?
In my tasks for approval, I am using the class - CL_PT_REQ_WF_ATTRIBS and the method APPROVE. Is that correct???
Is there any other standard workflow which I can refer to?
Thanks

Configuring multiple level approval workflows

Hi,
1. I would like to know how to configure multiple levels of approval in a workflow.
For example, when a user self registers himself, the request must be sent to level1 manager and after his approval it must be sent to level2 manager for final approval.
2. I would like to know the difference between "provisioning" and "provisioned".
Path : Process definition->task->TasktoObjectStatusMapping
Thanks in advance

Hi,
For question no 1.
1.You need to create a approval process.
2.Create a approval task for example "Approve by Manger1". assign this to Manager level 1.If its not static assignment then you need to create task assignment adapter.
3.Create another approval task for exmaple "Approve by Manger 2" assign this to manager level2.
4.Have the 2nd task depends one first one so that until one is completed 2nd one will not start.
For question 2.
Provisioning status refer to when provisioning process is not complete.
Provisioned status refer to when provisioning process is complete.
You can map this status on the completion or rejection of any task.Usually provisioned status is mapped with success of create identity task.
Let me know if you have any more questions.

Line Item Level Approval For SC-SRM7.02

Hi Experts,
I am working on the line item level approval based on cost center. can some one help me in achieving this?
i have few doubts regarding this
1) we are using application controlled workflow is it feasible to achieve this functionality ?
2) will separate PO will be created for each line item?.
some pointer would be really helpful.

Hi Mano,
1. Yes, but would suggest to use new process controlled workflow.
2. No, Cost center is not a split criteria for PO creation. Of course you can overwrite it with ABAP.

Determining second level approver for travel expense claim workflow

Hi Experts...
In Travel Expense claim workflow,we are using two level Approval.The employee has to enter his data for expense claim through ESS..Then expense claim is submitted and sent via workflow to the Travel department. Travel Dept verifies the expenses against the bill and approves the claim by selecting the next level approver and attaching the scanned copies of the bill.
I made copy from the standard workflow WS20000040.
How can i select the next level appover in first level approval step???
Is there any FM or BAPI or BADI???
Please help me ...
Thanks in Advance
Regards,
Hemalatha.

Hi Hemalatha,
I have small tricky workaround to find out the second level of approver.The Standard Rule available can reused again by passing manager's Position.i.e
After first level completed , store manager position in container variable and pass it to the same task rule so the task is sent to the manager's approver .
Message me if needed more details.

Multiple levels escalation for deadline monitoring

Hi all,
We have a business requirement to perform multiple levels escalation in one of the workflow steps. If the approver does not approve the work item(WI) after one day, a mail notification will be sent to the approver. A second mail will be sent again if approver still doesn't approve WI after 48 hours. Then the third/fourth mail will be sent to approver and approver's boss if approver still doesn't approve WI after 72 / 96 hours. The fifth mail will be sent to approver's boss's boss if WI is not approved still after 5 days.
I know how to do simple and modeled deadline monitoring in workflow builder. But I don't know whether our business requirement can be achieved in workflow builder( and this is a step in dynamic parallel processing). Other option I have is to create an ABAP report to go through the table stores workflow run time data and make this report run several times a day in the batch to send mail notification reminder.
Did anybody have a similar business requirement like ours? What's the best way to handle it - build it in workflow builder or write an ABAP report?
Thank you in advance,
Merta

Hi Merta,
We had a similar requirement and this is how I achieved it:
1. Pleace your approval task into a loop (while not approved) and create a container element as the approval flag. This allows you to get out of the loop when the item has been correctly actioned. Also create a DL element to hold your calculated deadline value;
2. Create a method and task to determine the next escalation point based on how many loop passes the instance has had, ie:
Pass 1 - DL = sy-datum + 1 day;
Pass 2 - DL = DL1 + 1 day, and so on.
3. Create a method to determine who should get what. Link this to a condition so you know whether to send a mail or escalate the entire workitem. Create the notification as a send mail within the condition;
4. Change the Deadline parameters in your step to "Refer.date/tim" = Expression and bind the DL element;
5. Set the processing obsolete property to ensure the workitem is killed when a new pass (and therefore and new deadline/agent etc) is started.
See the following:
This one handles the loop/obsolete concept.

Line Item Level Approval For SC-SRM7.02-WS14500015

Hi Expert,
I am using workflow template WS14500015 for line item level approval.i have few doubts on this
i am using cost center based approval, so if the 1st line item is approved will it generate a PO or will it wait for the entire shopping cart to be approved.

Hi Mano,
Are you using application controlled workflow or process controlled workflow?
For process controlled workflow you can refer to the SRM 7.0 Workflow guide:
https://websmp108.sap-ag.de/instguides > sap business suite and applications> SRM 7.0 > Workflow Guide - SAP SRM 7.0 and Configuration guide.
Page 16, Approval Processes in SAP SRM; you will understand possibilities of SRM 7.0 process controlled workflow and then decide which one you need.
Also refer to 7 Appendix B: Approver Determination Strategies in the Standard
This has few example classes/BADI implementation for agent determination which you can refer to.

Ashish

Line Item level Approval for Shopping cart

Hi Expert,
I am using workflow template WS14500015 for line item level approval.i have few doubts on this
i am using cost center based approval, so if the 1st line item is approved will it generate a PO or will it wait for all the line items approval.

Hi Mano,
if you use approval. It will be approved by steps. Next step will not be started until previous completely done. In your case 1st Item should wait until all other items processed.

Workflow issue : N step Item level approval for SC

Hello Friends,
We are working on SRM 4.0 , classic scenario , SP11.
Here we are facing a typical issue in workflow. We are using Nstep approval for SC.
In the standard task TS14508044, the work item text is "Approval of SC ".The shopping cart value is being populated by container element &APPOBJ.OBJECTTOAPPROVE.TOTALVALUESTRING&
This same container element is used to populate the shopping cart value in the task description. However what we observe is that in the workflow log, the container element APPOBJ is initial.
How is the total value of the shopping cart populated then?
Also, the value of the shopping cart in the work item text and the work item description is in different currency format.
The shoppng cart value in the work item text is in the format 12,34,567.89 whereas that in the description is in the format
12.934.567,8
Appreciate your inputs on this.

Thanks Masa,
For your valuable suggestion. Now after changing the WF-BATCH settings there is consistency in the currency format.
Now the question is how we can change into the currency format of the user ?
The user format is 1,234,567. 89 but still work item text and
description is in 1.234.567, 89 format.
Thank you
