"No approval workflow found"

We have a po with 8 service lines on it, we have GRN'd some item, we now want to increase / decrease some qty's, when we hit check we are told that all is ok and can be ordered. So we go to order and we get the following messages : -
"Complete the purchase order or hold"
also get these : -
No approval workflow found
System Status INCM is active
No default values from Vendor Master.
Any ideas on this one???

Hi,
If you are using SRM50, only the two WS14000075 (saved and changed version) should be active with a currency.
Then what content do you have in each of this WF ?
I asked you this because we have to determine if your PO change is compliant with the conditions mentionned in these WF.
Kind regards,
Yann

No approval workflow found error while processing the Bid Invitation

We are working on SRM 5.0 (SP level6). We are able to create the bid invitations successfully from the sourcing cockpit. However while saving the changes in the bid invitations, system shows the error "No approval workflow found". When checked in SWB_PROCUREMENT , no workflow exists for object" BUS2200, Bid Invitation EC"in the standard SRM.
Kindly confirm what is missing...
NNK

Hi Nitin,
Use T-code OOCU - Task custamising overview. Then SRM-EBP --> SRM-EBP-WFL then active event linking.
Please activate WS145000026 for automatic approval of bid. or WS145000027 for one step approval of bid invitation.
This will help to solve your problem. IF not please reply me the error.

Error Message: No approval workflow found. Inform system administrator

Dear Gurus,
I've encounter this error message when I'm creating a shopping cart. "No approval workflow found. Inform system administrator"
I've checked the conditions at "SWB_COND" and it looks fine.
I've check Event Type Linkage "t-code SWETYPV" and its active "SAVED". It links to function module SWB_CHECK_FB_START_COND_EVAL.
Cost Centers and HOD are maintain correctly.
Need your advice.
Regards,
Santthi.

Hi,
The message you are getting i.e. "No approval workflow found. Inform system administrator" is because no workflow has been activated properly for the business object BUS2121(for the Shopping Cart).
Please check the following:
In SWE2,check whether the event linkage is activated for any of the workflows for the object BUS2121.If atleast one of the workflows for BUS 2121 has been activated,you should not get the message.
If any of the workflows has been activated,please check whether the start conditions for that workflow has been activated or not.Even if the start conditions have not been activated,the error message should not appear as the start conditions need to be checked when 2 workflows are activated in the system for business object BUS2121 for shopping cart.
If more then 1 workflow is activated,check the start conditions for these workflows.

Deactivating the Invoice Approval Workflow in SRM 5

Hi WF GurusM
We are setting up Invoice Entry in SRM 5.0 and get the message: No approval workflow found. Inform system administrator.
Please can you recommend how we can temporarily deactivate this workflow, so that we no longer get this message. We have looked in SWB_COND but could not work out which WF the system is trying to call.
Regards. Steve Walsh.

Hi Steve,
You can check which workflow is getting called using the following approach:
1. Activate event trace using t-code SWELS.
2. Go to t-code SWEL. Check the BO and event getting triggered while setting up Invoice Entry in SRM.
3. Check the receiver type of the BO event. This would show all the workflows that are receivers of the BO event.
4. Else, check in t-code SWETYPV and check the event linkage of the BO event to the workflows.
This would surely give you the workflow getting triggered on this event.
Hope this helps!

CUP Issue in workflow - Approver not found after SP13

Dear All,
We are facing an issue after upgrade to SP13 in CUP. The request is not getting saved and throwing an error - Approver not Found.
We uploaded the xml files also of SP13 after upgrade has completed.
We have not changed the workflow after upgrade and verified all the attributes of Initiator, CAD and approver is already available in CAD - but still we are receiving the error "Approver Not Found"
The same workflow is working succesfully in Production system which is under SP9.
Is this an issue with SP13. If any body has encountered please let us know how to resolve.
Thanks and Best Regards,

AE 5.2 - Detour Workflows - One of the Role Approver not found

Hi All,
My question is regarding using the Detour workflow functionality for the situation below - pls let me know if this possible or if any alternates are available.
- Main path has 2 stages (1) manager approver, (2) Role Approver.
If the Requestor asks for a Role that Does not have a Role Approver we would like to route this request to the Security lead.
- I have created a Detour Path with 1 stages - Secuity lead and associated with Stage 2 (Role approver) of the Main path based on the condition "No Role Owners"
- I still get the error "Approver not found at Stage @@@@"
Is the condition "No Role Owner" in the Detour workflow config for "Role Expert" workflows or for Access requests?
Is it possible to route the Request to Security if the Role being requested does not have a Role Approver? IF yes How?
thanks
T

Hi,
sometimes in the Detour configuration you have the problem that the "Save" action is not saved properly.
If this entry is empty, please go into edit mode and save the detour config again, so that the action will actually display "Save".
Hopefully it works, then.

Daniela

In search of assistance learning how to modify the mail message from an out of the box SP2010 approval workflow.

So, I have found the article
http://punaro.com/2012/01/derek/modifying-a-sharepoint-2010-workflow-email/comment-page-1/ which appears to walk through the process of modifying an out of the box workflow's mail message.
However, there is a basic problem that I run into before I get started.
I am logged into the system as a regular user (ie not a farm admin, etc.).
I do, however, have full control on the site on which I am working.
I create a custom list.
I create a simple one step approval - sharepoint 2010 out of the box workflow.
I start SharePoint designer and give it the URL of the list. It opens up and I see the various objects on the left side of the screen.
I click right on the Workflows object - which is where the article says I will find the ability to copy and modify the workflow.
All I see is "open", "open in a new tab" and "Pin".
I selecdt open in a new tab - and I get a blank screen labeled workflows that says "There are no items to show in this view".
So, I click on Lists and Libraries, then on the name of my custom list.
When the list displays, the Workflows section of the page has a "Modified Workflow" displayed.
When I right click on it, no menu is shown. When I click on the modified workflow, I get the workflow settings page for that workflow.
I am trying to figure out how to create the copy of the workflow so that I can modify one of the mail messages in SharePoint designer.
Is there someone who has some advice on how to find this copy and modify option? Or perhaps a web site, web forum, article series, or book covering the topic?
Thank you!

Hi lwvirden,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to modify the OOB approval workflow in SharePoint Designer.
After opening the site in SharePoint Designer, just click Workflows in the left panel and then the workflows in the site will load in the right part.
If you want to copy and modify the OOB approval workflow, then you need to right the approval workflow
Approval – SharePoint 2010 under Globally Reusable Workflow. After that you will see the
Copy and Modify button.
Best regards.
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:
Error processing your request: The operation was rejected because of access control policies.
Reason: The server workflow rejected the operation.

This is quiet urgent issue . Any help would be really helpful.. Thanks..

Hi Marlene,
Thank you very much for your suggestions.
But I am not creating a custom workflow in designer as Laura has mentioned. I am instead trying to create a new Out of the box Approval Workflow and I get the error mentioned above.
As it works in other environment, I tried figuring out the possible differences which can lead to this error.
Today I found one difference which is there are no form Templates within Infopath Configurations in Central Admin. Now I am trying to figure out what makes this form templates to be added to the template gallery.

OIM 11.1.1.5 Approval Workflow Issue

Hi,
I have installed OIM 11.1.1.5. While self-registration of a user, the request is created and by default assigned to xelsysadm as the request level approver.
However, when the approver logs in, assigns the organization to the user and approves the request, it is shown that the approval task is completed.
But the request status doesn't change and remains "Obtaining Request Approval" and thus the user is not created in OIM.
In SOA server, on checking the logs (soa_server1-diagnostic.log) we found the following error -
[soa_server1] [ERROR] [] [oracle.soa.bpel.engine.dispatch] [tid: orabpel.engine.pool-5.thread-4] [userId: weblogic] [ecid: ee9b8be672bf5ad0:-72f1c18e:1399f6dc058:-8000-0000000000000108,0:1:100000006] [APP: soa-infra] failed to handle message[[
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: oracle.wsm.policy.model.IPolicySet.getStatus()Loracle/wsm/policy/model/IPolicySet$POLICYSET_STATUS;
We are unable to resolve the issue, we've tried using a custom approval workflow instead of the default approval workflow.
Kindly help.

Hi ,
I actually faced the same issue some time back .., it took me almost a week to resolve it ..
This is happening basically due to incompatible version of wsm-policy-core.jar on your server . Please check all the FMW s/f installed on your server . One of them is incompatible with OIM 11.1.1.5.0 .
Are you using BIP 11.1.1.6 by any chance .

Inconstancy in Approval Workflow- Process Controlled Workflow

Hello Experts,
We are in SRM 7.0 classic scenario using process controlled workflow and facing an issue as described below:-
During the approval workflow, we are observing that in
Case 1: When approver3 is forwarding the work item to approver10, the approver10 in not getting the work item in his Inbox. However, when we see the log detail in SWI6 the status is shown as u201CREADYu201D
Case 2: We created a shopping cart with identical details as in Case 1 and followed the same approval process i.e.Approver3 forwarding the work item to approver10, however in this case approver10 is getting the work item in his Inbox and when we see the log details in SWI6 the status is shown as u201CCOMPLETED"
We tried this scenario for 10 times and we found that in 2 cases the approval status is showing as u201CREADYu201D while in other 7 cases the approval workflow got completed.
Can you all experts please help us understand why this is happening and how can be find the root cause i.e why Case 1 is in u201CREADYu201D status for last 2 days.
We seek your help in understandingroot cause so that we can eliminate any inconsistency in future.
Any pointers to resolve this issue will be highly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

Use class /SAPSRM/CL_WF_APV_FACADE. This is used by standard SAP WF Analysis.
Methods - RETRIEVE_PROCESS_HISTORY, GET_CURRENT_PROCESS_STATE, CREATE_PROCESS_FORECAST.
To analyze more, check the program /SAPSRM/WF_CFG_ANALYSIS_002. Check lines 209...216 (These Lines pull Previous Approved Steps, Current Process Step & Gets the approval forecast). However the REJECTED Items (Accept Decision) work little different (which is not captured by this report).
To Identify the current approval process awaiting decision by the requester of the cart, use method GET_CURRENT_PROCESS_STATE, return parameter structure /SAPSRM/S_WF_PROCESS-PROCESS_LEVEL_LIST-DECISIONSET_LIST-ITEM_STATUS_LIST gets you the current status of the item (ACCEPTED, REJECTED, OPEN, INQUIRED). If ITEM_STATUS_LIST-ITEM_STATUS EQ 'REJECTED', then the WF is waiting for acceptance/resubmission from the requester.
To your specific need, pass DOCUMENT_GUID to the class /SAPSRM/CL_WF_APV_FACADE=>GET_CURRENT_PROCESS_STATE get the return parameter /SAPSRM/S_WF_PROCESS. It will give you PROCESS_LEVEL_LIST. Then loop through DECISIONSET_LIST. It contains Table Types of AGENTS_LIST, ITEM_STATUS_LIST, WORKITEM_LIST. At /SAPSRM/S_WF_PROCESS level, you can get all the details of the current process level details

OIM 11gR2 - Out-of-the-box Approval Workflows

Does anyone know of any good resources that describes the out-of-the-box approval/provisioning workflows of 11g R2? I have searched Google back and forth but found nothing. Some of the workflows are obvious by their name (such as default/BeneficiaryManagerApproval!1.0), but others are not so clear regarding their flows.
On that same note, can one of the out-of-the-box approval workflows be configured to route to an approval group instead of single users?
Thanks for your help!

Instead of searching for docs in google i guess reverse-engineering on your own will be the best way to understand the approval workflows. Navigate to OIM_HOME/server/workflows/composites. It will contain all the approval workflow zip files. Unzip the required one which you want to understand and there will be a .jws file in it. Now open that in jdeveloper and open AprrovalProcess.bpel and composite.xml. It will show how the approval routes and what are the business rules written, everything. It is the best way to understand the approval workflows.
In the same way u can make changes to the out-of-the-box approval workflows also. See this OBE tutorial to understand how you can assign the approval to a group
http://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/tutorials/obe/fmw/oim/oim_11g/Request_Workflow_for_Self_Registration/request_workflow_for_self_registration.htm
Also please try the approval workflow given in the developer's guide which covers most of the basics.

2010 Publishing Approval Workflow not triggered from Office 2010 application

I have a peculiar situation to which I have been Googling for weeks now but to no avail.
Basically, I have configured a publishing approval workflow to fire when the user checks in a word document as a Major version. I tested it and all was fine. I later found that on a select few PC's on the office network the prompt (workflow initiation
form) was not popping up when checking the document in via the office 2010 word client and therefore the workflow wasn't being initiated.
I have gone down many avenues of group policy, SP permissions, AD settings, even reinstalling office but nowhere nearer to solving the issue.
Please bear in mind I have it configured correctly from a SharePoint point of view i.e. checked the box to allow workflow to be manually started & start to approve publishing on major version.
This might be a clue: it works when checking in via SharePoint but not when checking it in via word, therefore indicating a desktop client or office issue.
Does anybody have any knowledge of what triggers the initiation form to fire and what might block it or not register its existence from an office app point of view? Any general comments would be welcome.
Spec of problem machines: - Windows 7 (x32/64), Office 2010 Std, SharePoint 2013 server (but using 2010 workflow in this case).
Marc Grocott

Hi Marc,
Based on your description, my understanding is that when you check in a major version from word, the workflow initiation form not appear.
In order for Document Approval workflows to work seamlessly with word, you can tick the option: "Allow this workflow to be manually started by an authenticated user with Edit Item Permissions".
Here is a detailed article for your reference:
Approval workflow does not start from Microsoft Word

Please let me know solution ASAP.This is high priority.
Thanks
Yakoob.

It looked like some old request stuck in DB.But, not sure about it.I tried by changing the number ranges in configuration by giving the current request number in "from number",but it didn't work.
This is strange some time it gives "error creating request: path not found." and once this error gone then "error creating request : approver not found".
To avoid this i created one more stage by custom approver determinator with application attribute and approver assiged.This stage, i assigned before role approver stage then it worked,Request get created and request get provisioned.
i don't understand why it's not working,if i assigned role approver stage first in a path of workflow.role approver (approver determinator:"role" standard one, "approver" gets from configuration:roles:create role:role approver OR upload from role import).
Please help
Thanks
Yakoob.

OOB Approval Workflow does not update WorkflowStatus column as "In Progress"

Dear Experts,
Any advice will be most appreciated. Here is the scenario
Repository: document library
Workflows: OOB Approval Workflow is turned on
User Action: User uploads multiple documents (say 5 or 10) to the document library
the workflow status column is not marked as "In Progress" for some of the documents. Out of say 10 documents, 6 to 7 have "In Progress" in the workflow status column and the remaining 3 to 4 don't have it!
It is very critical to have this field updated.
Alternatives: Currently it seems like the only way to update the blank workflow status column is to delete the document and re-upload it.
Solution tried: Tried turning off "Update Content Approval" option in the workflow settings. No use.

I've found out more about this. The workflow itself starts, but the workflow status column does not get updated as "In Progress" or "Approved". Its just blank.
Whats even more interesting is that it fails if the web app's port number is 80 (URL in this case will be http://server_name/doc_lib)
but it works perfectly if the port number is anything other than 80! (URL in this case will be http://server_name:port_number/doc_lib)
Any clues as to why it behaves this way?
Thanks in advance,
NP
