N Step BADI Approval Workflow Error in SRM 7.0

Hi,
I have implemented SC  Workflow Approval based on line item(sequential approval). I implemented process controlled workflow for this using N step Badi. Necessasy configuration done for each level at schema. All steps are executed per line item and agents determined using N step Badi /SAPSRM/BD_WF_RESP_RESOLVER.
Even in SC after the document is ordered, in approval overview tab i see the all level sequence with  approvers name for that  line item.
But when approved by first approver, it doesnot move to the next level for approval and the SC is approved bypassing all approvers in the following levels.
For example, if there four levels of approvals for one line item. as soon as the first approver approves the SC is approved and in SC Approval Overiew tab that contained four level of approval in it is now reset to one level with SC marked as appproved.
Have anybody come across this error.
Not able to figure out why it is happening so... need some expert advice.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Masa .. thanks for your reply.
Was on vacation so could not reply.
I have below settings in SRM for SC
Process Level definition should be like this.
Level Eva.ID ; Resolver Task ID Decision Type
100 L100 R100 40007953 Item-Based decision for Partial Doc.
200 L200 R100 40007953 Item-Based decision for Partial Doc.
300 L300 R100 40007953 Item-Based decision for Partial Doc.
I have implemented /SAPSRM/BD_WF_RESP_RESOLVER for R100.
for grouping we are using line item number ... so each line item is a group.
Below are issues that i am facing now.
For say 2 line item in a SC... with 3 level of approvals for each line item. I am not able to approve one line item in a sequence. For example: If for first line item, when I approve level one .. then the workitem doesnot move to 2nd approver's inbox for that line item. Now if second items (asssuming there are only 2 line items in SC) first approver has approved then i see all second level of approvers available for all line item.
In short system waits for all one level approvers to approver for all line item and when all the line items are approved at one level then the workitems are available for seconds level of approval.
Is this the standard behaviour?
As per our requirement we wanted one line item shoudl follow the approveral sequence without being dependent on other items approval.

  • N step SC Approval Workflow - PCW

    Hi Experts,
    I'm new to SRM.
    We have requirment for N-Level Approvals Sequentially at item based for the SC .
    The Approval Level needs to be determined dynamically , by comparing the Total value of the SC with the Approval limit maintined in the Custom Table.The maximum Level of approval is 3.
    Example:
    Workitem Should be triggered Sequentially.
    If the SC has 2 line items .
    First Line item
    When the Ship-to address is maintained,the Total values of SC - 3000£  and the Line item Value is above threshold value.                              
    Workitem reaches Approver1 - Approved then                        
    Workitem reaches Approver2- Approved then
    Workitem reaches Approver3
    Second Line item
    When the Ship-to address is maintained,the Total values of SC - 3000£  and the Line item Value is below threshold value. 
    Workitem Shouldnot Trigger.
    Questions:
    Do i need to maintain 1 or 3 process level at Config?
    is it possible to check the Line item value at the Evaluation ID itself by copying the FM /SAPSRM/WF_BRF_0EXP000
    , if so how to to know the for which line item(item guid) the Process level is been called?
    There are three conditins to be checked for triggering the workitem
    1.Ship to party check
    2.Total value Sc check
    3 Line item value check
    Which conditions can be maintinaed in the Evaluation Id?
    Which conditions can be maintinaed in the BAdi?
    How to Achive the requirmeent.
    Please Let me know how to proceed.
    Thanks in Advance.

  • N-step BADI approval SRM workflow

    Hi,
    I am implementing N-step approval badi for SC approval using header level workflow (WS14000133) in SRM 5.0. My requirement is to determine the financial analysts responsible for each line item and then the mangement approvers based on their approval limits. Financial analyst need to approve the SC concurrently before the management approvers receives the SC. I developed the code in the BADI to populate the approval table. First time when the SC is created the approval table looks as follows,
    Index    Branch    Approver
    1         1        FA1
    1         2        FA2
    1         3        FA3
    2         1        MGMT approver1
    3         1        MGMT approver2
    FA1, FA2 and FA3 recieves the SC. The approval preview looks great. Since this is not item level workflow, FA will approve the SC at the header level.
    Here is the Issue--
    When FA1, FA2 or FA3 approves the SC, the approval index is incremented by 1 in the workflow, the SC is sent to MGMT approvers based on he index by skipping all the FA approvers.
    In this scenario, how to develop logic to send the SC to MGMT approvers only after the FA approvers approves it. I mean how to control the index and branching in BADi. I am using header level workflow.
    Any suggestion would be highly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Venkat

    Hello,
    You won't like my answer, but this behaviour is not possible with standard workflows.
    First WS14000133 does not handle parallel processing with badi.
    You could try the template WS14000141 that was at a time handling the branch number in approval table, but it is not officially support. I mean this is obsolete.
    This only parallel processing is provided with template WS14000015, but it's at item level: separated item can be sent in parallel, but it's not working well if you try to send the same item in 2 branch.
    You cannot send the same object in a parallel process, the reason is that the application layer cannot properly handle this.

  • N - Step BADI Approval Flow - Reminders & Dead Line monitoring

    Hi,
    I am on SRM 5.0 and we are using N-step BADI workflow for Shopping cart. We have coded the logic to pull the approvers and we got additional requirement of sending reminders to the approvers multiple time for example: 1st reminder on 3rd day and second reminder on 7th day and finally on 10th day the Shopping Cart should be moved to next level of approval.
    So here there are 2 things that I need to achieve
    1. Sending multiple reminders to approver on different days. 3rd day, 6th day etc..
    2. Moving the Shopping Cart to next Approval Level if the existing approver has not approved it in specific duration of time.
    Your inputs of achieving my requirements would be of more help.
    Regards,
    Satya

    Hi Satya,
    Workflow functionality Deadline Monitoring would be useful to you in such a case.
    You can add a 'Requested End' condition to the workitem you need to monitor.
    When the deadline is reached you can perform the desired operation. I your case you need repeated reminders. For this in the requested end branch, add a Loop step and send reminder mails as desired. Add a terminating condition for loop to say 10 days to stop sending reminders there after.
    I had a similar requirement and this approach worked for me.
    Hope thie helps!
    Regards,
    Saumya

  • Confirmation n-step Admin approval workflow

    Hello friends,
    We struck up in setting up admin workflow with the badi BBP_WFL_ADMIN_APPROV.  We have activated the workflow WS10400020 and we could able to determine approvers in that badi and able to pass the approver into output parameter of badi et_agent. Approvers are getting determined in the confirmation and able to approve it.
    But we need to have two step approval in that badi. Is the admin workflow (WS10400020) one-step approval workflow? Can we have two - steps in this workflow? In the badi, we are determining two approvers and all the approvers are getting passed into et_agent which is then getting passed to first step in the approval process. We would like to pass one of the approver in to next step.
    Could you please advise me on that?
    Thanks,
    Arun

    Masa,
    Thanks for your reply.
    Can we manually add approvers in case of confirmation one or two step approval workflows? Can we replace an approver who already there approval preview with an adhoc approver? In my case, both the feature is not working. Just want to know is this a standard process or we have a fix for that.
    Thanks,

  • Approval workflow error when creating a new custom entity in FIM 2010 R2

    Hello,
    i'm hoping somebody here can help, me i've been struggling with this for some time now. On a fresh FIM installation i create a custom entity named "Role" and add a few custom attributes.
    I then create an approval workflow and MPR for normal users to create entities of type Role, but another user must approve this request. The other user has a working mailbox - i've tried firing an action workflow that sends a mail notification when someone
    creates a new role and it is working fine. But, when i enable my approval workflow (the only field i changed from default is the approver) on the MPR, the workflow always failes with the message:

  • Add extra step to approval workflow

    Hello,
    I have an approval workflow where it requires 2 people to approve the document, one after the other. All working nicely.
    Once both approvers have approved the document, I would like an extra step (task) added before the workflow initiator is emailed that the workflow has been approved.
    I would like a third person to be emailed to do something with the document (I can add the instruction in the email that is sent).
    After the third person completes the task, then the workflow initiator is notified the approval workflow has finished (as per usual).
    Is it possible to modify the approval workflow to add that extra step? And if it is, could you kindly advise how to do that? I would be very grateful.
    Thank you.

  • Workflow approval - 'n' step BADI, Approval hierarchy problem

    Hi,
    Description of the issue:
    For a shopping cart approval, the approver's list determined by the 'n' step approval BADI does not include the user who is the immediate in the org. hierarchy. Rather the work item goes to the superior authority (say MD) for approval, which must not be the case.
    Pre-requisites checked:
    1. Checked the org. hierarchy - Proper.
    2. Checked the Roles maintainence for shopping cart approval - All is fine
    3. Checked for approval/spend limits also - All is fine.
    4. Tested BADI/Business Object - Approval Table is empty & Approver_administrator is 'WF-Admin was informed'.
    5. Workflow log (technical details) - Checked in the containers for 'Approver's list'.
    6. Checked table HRUS_D2 for any substitutes assigned - All seem fine.
    This is the org. hierarchy,
    (A - Requestor) --> (B - 1st level approver) --> (C - 2nd level approver) --> (D - MD final level approval)
    The approver's list shows two names instead of 3, that is only B & D and not C. Hence the work item goes to D directly than going to C.
    Please suggest.
    Best regards,
    Harsh Dave

    hi,
    Well the approver list is created from the badi for n-step approval in SRM.
    If you say that approver list is empty when testing the badi, then you have to check which workflow is used in your environmennt.
    It could be that  someone decided to create their own logic.
    so start by finding out which workflow template is used in this scenario, also you can set external break-points for users in teh approval badi which would be executed if you you use the approval preview in SRM (I'm guessing it is SRM since it sounds like it)
    Kind regards, Rob Dielemans

  • Vendor Approval Workflow error

    Hi,
    I tried (unsuccessfully so far) to turn on the standard workflow for Vendor approval (conveniently called: VendorApproval)
    However when I try to change a vendor (thus triggering the workflow) I receive the following message:
    op Fiatteringsproces (ID = VendorApproval, definitie-ID = ApproveVendors, ingangsdatum 2007-01-01, thread-ID 32) (18081,1056):1:1, Step nbr 1 (18081,1058) EOAW_CORE.ENGINE.DefStepInst.OnExecute  Name:Activate  PCPC:8036  Statement:114

    The last sentence is something like: An exception is added to this message so stacktracing can occur (or take place).
    Any thoughts on this?
    What I have done so far:
    - Added a row to PS_EOAW_IDS for: VNDR_AF_XREF (since there was no row
    Thanks in advance for reading!

    After some more trial and error, the error was caused by a user. After the user was removed from the list (user list was based on a query using a specific role), the workflow worked correctly.

  • SharePoint Designer 2010 approval workflow error revisited

    Karen K started a question around:
    Errors
    were found when compiling the workflow. The workflow files were saved but cannot be run.And when I click on the "Advanced" button in the error message, I see this detailed error:
    (0,
    0) Activity 'ID4' validation failed: Property 'DurationUnit' has invalid value. Field type 'System.String' does not match with the expected type 'Microsoft.Office.Workflow.Actions.DurationUnit'.)
    The full problem/solution is posted:

    However, 
    I can't figure how to do step 2:
    2.       Select
    the Action and click the “Advanced Properties”
    ribbon control;
    3.       Find
    the “DurationUnit” property in the properties
    box, and click the “fx” link in the box;
    Which
    "Select the Action" am I looking for? I looked everywhere.
    Help

    RoyKim, it's simpler than you think, which is why it probably stumped you.  This is all you do:
    In SPD2010, click on the Workflows Site Object
    Find your workflow and click on it to open the top-level settings page
    Click edit workflow
    This is the page where you perform the steps from that other thread
    Single-click the row that says "Start Approval process on CurrentItem etc etc"
    Then click Advanced Properties in the ribbon
    Scroll down until you find DurationUnit
    Click the fx button on the right and re-select Parameter: Duration Units as instructed
