N-step WF for shopping carts

Is there a N-step WF for shopping carts which can be used in SRM 5.0 ?
The WF is driven by product category and not spending limits.
Or do we have to develop a custom WF ?
Thanks

Separate Determination Method for List of Approvers via BAdI BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI in WS14000133:
In WS14000109 the approvers are determined dependent on the total value of the SC and on the approval limits of the managers.
However, if you use WS14000133 as an alternative, you can determine the list of approvers flexibly according to your particular requirements.
You do this using the method GET_REMAING_APPROVERS of BAdI BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI, with which you can integrate a logic for determining the approvers for each approval step (this can be more than one) and the number of steps in the entire approval process.
For more details, see the IMG:
Supplier Relationship Management ® SRM Server ® Business Add-Ins for Enterprise Buyer (BAdIs) ® SAP Business Workflow ® Determination of Approvers for n-Step Dynamic Approval Workflow.
Go through the documentation of the BADI BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI. It will give you a fair idea on how to about the logic you want.
Hope this helps!!

Process Controlled Workflow - 1-step approval for shopping cart approval

Hi,
I have configured a one-level approval for SC (Process Controlled Workflow):
Object Type: BUS2121
Additional 1 level under schema: 3C_SC_600_000 (the last level is the automatic approval)
Level Type: Approval with completion
Eval ID: 0EV_SC_SL1
RR Name: RR_SPENDING_LIMIT_APPROVER
RR Param: USTONY.Y (I hardcoded it using my user ID, for the moment)
Task ID: 40007953 (I have checked, it's generalized as well)
Decision Type: Item-based decision for entire document
For PPOMA_BBP:
Under my org unit (Position):
Approval Limit: 1000
Output Limit: 1000
I didn't do any BADI implementations yet.
During creation of SC by other user, before "Order" the SC, the approval preview can show correctly that the Processor is as indicated in the config.
Once the SC is ordered, the whole step is gone and the event linkage becoming delinked (because there is error, and according to the config in SWEQADM).
However, I cannot find the workitem (no workitem generated) and SLG1 does not give any clue whatsoever.
I tried debugging method APPROVAL_LIMIT, and it seems fine as well.
Please help, what did I do wrong here?
Thanks,
Tony Y

Hi Sahil,
I even changed to first process level to:
Level Type: Approval
Eval ID: 0EV000
RR Name: RR_MANAGER
RR Param: (Blank)
Task ID: 40007953 (I have checked, it's generalized as well)
Decision Type: Decision for entire document
Under PPOMA_BBP:
I made myself as a head of the org unit with the role manager.
The requester is "Exclude" the role manager.
The agent can be determined now.
But the workitem ID is still cannot be generated. It's always no workitem generated.
Please everyone, any help?
Thanks in advance,
Tony

Process Controlled WF for Shopping Cart

Hi,
We have implemented process controlled workflow for shopping cart approval.
1. Created a bespoke schema for the approval process
2. Defined 5 process levels in the schema
3. changed the BRF event at the schema evaluation level. It now
contains a constant with the name of new schema create in step 1.
4. Decision set used is item based approval for partial documents (Type 4)
4. The first process level is get the technical approval from bespoke
table based on material group. For that we have first created a
Responsibility Resolver Name - ZTECHNICAL_APPROVER.
We have implemented the BADI - /SAPSRM/BD_WF_RESP_RESOLVER. Assigned
the filter as BUS2121 and ZTECHNICAL_APPROVER.
5. Now we have placed the external debugger in BADi. when we create
the shopping cart the flow doesn't stop at the break point. The item
reaches to the last step of Automatic approval (Rejected).
6. We think that schema is getting evaluated, however the process
level is not getting called.
7. Before we created schema, all the carts wer getting "Approved" by
automatic step. In our schema the automatic step is "Rejected", hence
the carts are getting rejected.
Could you please let me know what could be reason for BADI
implementation not being called or is there any config step which we
are missing?

Hi,
I think your process level evaluation id is not true, that is the reason system skips the process level.. Can you check your evaluation event-expression code. What do you see in SLG1? For testing purpose change the evaluation id to 0EV000 and check. Make Sure you debug through the user(requester) that you are creating the SC. Please test and let me know...

Hi Sanjay/Vadim,
We are also having a simialr issue..
for SRM server 500 SAPKIBKS08...
R/3 4.7
"But this issue comes up only in the Test system and works fine with the Dev sys.." Double checked all the config steps and looks alike..
We are using the classic scenario RFx process to create a backend PO from the bidding engine after the bid is accepted..
it alwayz throws up the error SC/ Local Error..
: Error during determn of backend follow-on doc. for shopping cart 0010000103 / 0000000001....
we just started debugging from the web by breaking it at META_BAPI_DISPATCH and still looking into it..
but in the mean while just want to know if this is more a config issue or and RFC connection issue..
could you forward me any OSS notes if any regarding this issue..
thanks in advance..

Problems with Auto approval workflow (WS 10000060) for shopping carts

Hi SAP Network community,
I have got a problem with the auto approval workflow for shopping carts.
Basically the workflow approves the shopping cart once it was created.
But then the related Purchase Order remains in Status held. If the PO gets ordered manually then it is not transferred to the R/3 backend system.
For testing purposes also the one step approval workflow was activated. If the shopping cart gets approved by clicking into the detail approval screen (not by approving through the green tick box in the shopping cart overview) then the PO gets ordered and transferred to the backend system as normal.
But if the shopping cart gets approved by using the green tick box in the shopping cart overview then the same problem occurs as described for the auto approval workflow.
The system version is SRM 4.00
Did anybody have the same or similar problems with the auto approval workflow and what could be the reason for this problems.
Thanks in advance,
Robert

Wrong approver for shopping cart

Hi Friends,
I've found something very strange in my SRM system for Shopping cart approveal process.
One of my SC is waiting for approaval by a approver who is assigned to different plant and he has got nothing to do with this SC.
The SC's basic data contains the responsibility of some other LPR group for which approver is different and he is the actual approver of this SC.
Can you guys provide some link where i can find documents related to approval process in detail and also the organisation structure material as i am new to SRM..? after providing the solution for above querry...
Thanks in advance
ss

Hi Volkoale,
I am also facing the same issue. If you have resolved it kindly post your approach as it will be helpful to the community.
In my case, there is one cutomized table that contains list of approvers, but I am yet to debug and find the source of data for this table. Your reply will be rewarded.
Cheers,
Kris

New document type for shopping cart /PO

Hi Gurus,
I have created a new transaction type ZSHC for Shopping carts in SRM. I have given it a new number range.
while creating a shopping cart , how do i ensure that my shopping carts get created with this transaction type?
is there any attribute which controls this ?
Regards,
Mangesh

Thanks Shrini for your response.
BADI "BBP_CREATE_BE_PO_NEW" does not exist in SRM 4.0. The corresponds BADI in SRM 4.0 is "BBP_CREATE_PO_BACK".
The documentation of this BADI says that it can be used to change all data TRANSFERRED TO THE BACKEND SYSTEM to create a purchase order.
I would want the document type to be selected when the PO is created in SRM and not when SRM transfers the PO to the backend. Because in that case I fear that SRM can have one doucment type and R/3 would end up having different document type for same PO.
I will activate the BADI and keep the thread posted.
Thanks
Venkatesh

Check status for Shopping Cart to include F-53 postings

Dear SRM GURUS
we are following a classic scenarios and SRM version 4.0 where in we create a shopping cart in SRM and a purchase Req is created in backend and based on that we create a Purchase Order and do a Goods receipts and Invoice Booking in MIRO in R3.
When we check the status of shopping cart we are able to view all in SRM check status for shopping cart.
Now my requiremnt is that when after MIRO in R/3 we run F-53 for payement to vendor.
Whether this can be displayed in the shopping cart check status that as to when actual payement was made to the vendor through F-53.

F-53 transaction(R/3) status in SRM

Prefered vendor not displayed for shopping cart

Hi,
We have PDP scenario, SC's originated from R/3 purchase requisitions,
Issue details:
1. P.req was created with desired vendor and transfered to SRM and corresponding shopping cart is available in SOCO.
2. User created Held PO for corresponding SC.
3. When user checking monitor shopping cart then preffered vendor not displayed in source of supply tab.
When i checking BBP_PD for shopping cart, i found there is Disable flag(X) has been set for NO inbox selection partner.
what could be it mean, and more ever this changs has been originated via RFC user.how it was getting RFC user
Please advice me....

Venkateshwar
SC is generally sent to SOCO only when sourcing has to be carried out for the SC. IN this case you are hving a desired vendor in the SC and then you are creating a pO for the same. Although you have a Vendor in the PO that does not mean that SC will also have same vendor as preferred vendor in SC after you created the PO....

CFolder Integration for Shopping Cart

Experts,
Can we have cFolder integration for Shopping Carts?
(For example, in single part RFx, in header notes and attachments tab, we see Collaboration -> create/assign/delete buttons).
If YES:
what we have to do to achieve this?
If NO:
why we cannot see cFolder for SC? Is it because of the reason that, if at an integration has to exist, it should be at item level for SC, and this is always at header level in RFx?
Details: SRM7.0 SP07; ECS; PPS.
