Offline approval workflow not working - SRM 5.0

Hi Team,
Suddenly we have an issue in SRM production server with Offline approval workflow, inbound mails are not getting processed in SOIN and workitems are not getting cleared. So document status is not getting changed.
There is no problem in receiving the mail, we have all configurations setup as per below link,
Offline approval - general configuration - Supplier Relationship Management - SCN Wiki
Incoming mails are received to system user and then auto-forwarded to dialog user. Dialog user is used to schedule the batch job - RBBP_OFFLINE_EVAL.
Please help to resolve this issue,
Thanks
Rajesh Rajagopal

Can anyone please help me on this issue, offline approval functionality is completely stopped
Please provide your help

Two level approval workflow not working

Hi Experts,
I am making a workflow which have two level approval , now the problem is that the first level approver is going only to workflow initiator and if I use any other ID it is not working , it just hangs there.
Secondly if I send the first approval to workflow Initiator and it approves it then it hangs with second decision step.
I have made the agent assignment as general task. I have also checked SWU3 and all the things in that are activated.
Kindly help me in this issue.

OOB Approval Workflow Not Working as Expected

I am using the OOB Approval Workflow with an InfoPath (Browser Based) form that is published to a form library. The form contains multiple options for approvers that route serially. I open the form, fill it out, and submit it to the library. The
approval workflow is set to automatically start when an item is created. When the first Item is created the it works correctly. The workflow's task status is "In Progress" and the workflow assigns a task to the person selected in the person/group
picker on the Infopath form.
The issue is when I submit a second form to the library. The workflow automatically sets the the "Outcome" to "Rejected" and never assigns a task to the person selected in the person/group picker on the Infopath form. See below:

check the ULS logs and share the more details why its auto rejected.
you can configure the Diagnostic Log as verbose for Workflow.

Invoice Parking - 2 Level Approval Workflow not working

Hi,
I am having trouble making the two level approval work for invoice parking functionality. I have maintained Release Level = 2 and Sub w/f = WS10000053.
Rest I have configured as detailed in this link http://www.thesapconsultant.com/2008/09/simple-sap-workflow.html
When i test the above workflow from SWDD it is working fine. i.e., first one user gets the workitem and after he approves/rejects, it is going to second user. This proved that the user assignment i have maintained is correct.
But when I park the invoice (using "Save As Completed" button) using FV60, it only going to one user. After he/she approves/rejects it is not going anywhere. I checked in SWI1 transaction where no open tasks (error or hanged etc) are seen.
Can anyone please advise if i am missing anything?

Customer Workflows Not Working from SRM Inbox

Hi everyone,
We are upgrdaing our EBP v3.5 system to SRM 5.0 (SRM SERVER 5.5 SP 5).
We are using integrated ITS and have many bespoke workflows which need to executeable in the SRM inbox via the integrated ITS and ultimately the portal (EP 7.0).
We have various issues with our bespoke workflows not working. The 2 errors we have found are:
1. When the users click on the workitem from the SRM inbox they sometimes see 'Service Cannot be Reached' error.
2. Other times they see the workitem details with no user decision buttons shown.
3. Other times the user decision buttons are shown but if the user clicks on one, they see a blank page with text "workitem currently locked by user WF_BATCH" at the top. This is an 'advance with dialog' task which works fine via SAPGUI.
Any ideas on any of the specific issues, or anything which we need to do generally to get custom workitems to be executeable via the ITS?
Thanks a lot,
Nick

Hi abhijit,
I checked that but I set it to blank in debug mode..but its still disappearing...the button disappears after pressing enter on error message.
actually the BADI when I implemented there is one method where I set E_ADD_ON_ACTIVE flag to 'X' to bring that button(recommended by SAP). that method is not getting called...

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

Approval Template Not Working

Hi Experts.
I have activated approvals and have a simple approval template working (as a test) whereby AR Invoices exceeding a certain value require approval.
I have also created an approval template whereby Purchase Orders require approval if they are over the users approval limit but under their manager's approval limit as defined in UDFs against the employee record. This approval is not working.
The approval is based on a query:
select distinct 'true'
from opor a, por1 b, oact c, ohem d, ohem e
where a.docentry = b.docentry
and a.canceled = 'n'
and a.docstatus = 'o'
and a.docentry = b.docentry
and b.acctcode = c.acctcode
and a.docnum = $[OPOR.DocNum]
and a.ownercode = d.empid
and d.manager = e.empid
and (
     (b.u_budgeted = 'budget'and c.groupmask = 6
          and (a.doctotal-a.vatsum > d.u_budgetexpense or d.u_budgetexpense is null))
or (b.u_budgeted = 'budget'and c.groupmask = 1
          and (a.doctotal-a.vatsum > d.u_budgetcapital or d.u_budgetcapital is null))
or (b.u_budgeted = 'non-budget' and c.groupmask = 6
          and (a.doctotal-a.vatsum > d.u_nonbudgetexpense or d.u_nonbudgetexpense is null))
or (b.u_budgeted = 'non-budget' and c.groupmask = 1
          and (a.doctotal-a.vatsum > d.u_nonbudgetcapital or d.u_nonbudgetcapital is null)) )
and (
     (b.u_budgeted = 'budget' and c.groupmask = 6
          and a.doctotal-a.vatsum <= e.u_budgetexpense
          and e.u_budgetexpense is not null)
or (b.u_budgeted = 'budget' and c.groupmask = 1
          and a.doctotal-a.vatsum <= e.u_budgetcapital
          and e.u_budgetcapital is not null)
or (b.u_budgeted = 'non-budget' and c.groupmask = 6
          and a.doctotal-a.vatsum <= e.u_nonbudgetexpense
          and e.u_nonbudgetexpense is not null)
or (b.u_budgeted = 'non-budget' and c.groupmask = 1
          and a.doctotal-a.vatsum <= e.u_nonbudgetcapital
          and e.u_nonbudgetcapital is not null) )
The query will return the value 'true' if executed when the PO document is displayed on the screen, so I am happy with the query.
I think maybe the problem might be on the Terms tab of the Approval Template because Total Selected Terms = 2. I think this should be 1.
There is a tick against Undefined Type under Term and I can remove this so that Total Selected Terms = 1, then I click on Update and OK - but when I go back in again the tick is back and Total Selected Terms = 2 again.
Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.
Regards. Julie

Hi.
Thank you for your replies.
The solution I worked out was to select the Term 'Total Document' as 'Greater than $1.00'.
This enabled me to successfully de-select the last Term 'Undefined Type'.
The Alert then fired successfully.
Regards.

Workflow not working in SRM upgrade from 4.0 to 5.0

the workflows active on SRM 4.0 is,
WS 14000133 Approval Shopping Cart n-Level (BADI)
For same workflow and starting condition this workflow is not getting triggered for same user ( attribute & authorization wise on SRM 4.0 & SRM 5.0). Can you please tell me how to deal with this problem.
Second problem is with Bid

So please help me to solve these problem on SRM 5.0 if possible with brief steps to go ahead.

For issue 1. Please check the start condition in the SWB_PROCUREMENT transaction.
For issue 2. Check the document status in BBP_PD. Find the Workflow-item ID. Display the Workflow-item ID in SWI1 transaction. Please double check the approval tasks are general task.

Purchase order release strategy Workflow not working

Hi All,
I am working on PO Approval release strategy and it is not working fine . The release strategy set up is configured by my functional consultant . I just copied the standard workflow template WS20000075 and making changes to my custom workflow template . When ever po is created an event "RELEASESTEPCREATED" get triggered and the first approver receives an workitem and when he approves it goes to Second Approver and it is working fine . But when rejected then a notification email goes to initiator . Now when an initiator login into ME22N and made any changes ( even material text change ) in it then again "RELEASESTEPCREATED" event getting triggered . But I need to trigger my workflow only when there is change in PO Net value .
Kindly help me how to achieve this functionality .
Thanks and regards
Dilip

Hi Vikram,
There is already an existing entry for BUS2012 with event CHANGED against the change doc EINKBELEG .
Acutlly when login as initiator and try to change PO through ME22N here are my observations :
case 1: When Buyer click on " Cancel Reject " button and do any changes ( even text change ) then RELEASESTEPCREATED and CHANGED events are triggering . But since the event linkaged is set to RELEASESTEPCREATED workflow get restarted again.
Even the CHANGE event does'nt have 'RELEASECODE' as parameter to restart workflow .
Case 2: When Buyer doesn't click on " Cancel Rejection" buttion and do any changes then only CHANGE event get triggered
which do nothing since there is no event linkage .
Is to click on " Cancel Reject" button mandatory ? . But even though we make " Cancel Reject" as Button mandatory then RELEASESTEPCREATED Button triggering for any change but we need to trigger it for only net Value change .
Thanks and regards,.
Dilip Kumar

Appropriation Request Workflow Not Working

Dear Friends,
I have been working on Workflow for Approval of Appropriation Request.
Even after carrying out all the required configuration, the process is not working. Following are the symptoms:
1) When appropriation request is submitted for Approval, I am maintaining Ser ids of approvers in the Partner field.The moment I set the For Approval status the Approve Button is deactivated.Even when I log in from the Approver's user ID the button is Deactivated. I believe that, it is so because once workflow is active one can not approve in master data transaction, approval has to be done thru workflow only.
2) When I check the Business Workplace Inboxes of Approvers there are no Workflow related mails.
3) I have also checked in IMA11 that the Work flow has been created.
Ne suggestion on the would be of great value.
Regards,
Seemant

I checked all these.
Still there is no success.
In the appropriation request I have maintained different users as partners ( excluding myself) partners. As per the Workflow the mail should go to inbox of these users. Work flow is getting activated but still its not geting updated in the inboxes of users.
Are there any Basis settings that I may be ignoring.
Also the object type BUS2104 is being used. In forum I have read that this object type is obsolete. May be I can change the object type to BUS2204 ( the new one). If I need to do the same, what are the settings I need to do?
Regards,
Seemant

Plant getting updated after offline approval of SC in SRM

Hello Experts,
Please guide me in finding out the reason of why the Plant Value gets updated after the Offline Approval is done by the user in SRM.
when the user accepts the SC through mail we see that the SC gets approved status in Portal and in the backend PO we get that the Plant also gets changed.
So please help me in identifying the issue.
Thanks.

Hi Rajat,
We have debugged and analysed this issue, In offline approval system is picking last plant maintained for the company code from the table: BBP_LOCMAP. You can add one more plant to the table and check after offline approval. It will pick new one. Still we have not reached solution point, will let you know once we will find something.
Thanks,

SPD 2013 Workflow not working

Hello,
I'm running into a very interesting issue, we have a 2013 custom list that has some 2010 and 2013 workflows associated with it. Just until recently the workflows were working fine, but now only 2010 workflows are working.
I updated one of the 2013, tried to publish it but then I canceled the process of publishing it because I had to make a new update.... not sure if this flipped the switch on these but now even if I create new ones in SPD they will not run. Also if
I try to run in manually I get a message - "Something went wrong. To try again, reload the page and then start the workflow"(the option for start manually is enabled in SPD 2013). Any help on this will be greatly appreciated!

Hi Ghabib05,
According to your description, my understanding is that you got an error when you ran a SharePoint 2013 workflow.
Afer you made some change in your workflow, whether you re-published the workflow. if not, please publish it, then test again, compare the result.
Please create a new SharePoint 2013 workflow on the list, then test, compare the result.
If this issue only occurred on the specifical workflow, I suggest you create a new workflow instead of the problematic one.
If this issue occurred on all SharePoint 2013 workflow, you can try to re-register workflow service.

Workflow not working in Background Processing

Hi All,
I am relatively new to Workflow. Currently, I am creating Deliveries (preferably in background) once a Sales Order is created. I am using an ABAP Class as the object method to submit the sales order number to the delivery processing method (which just submits basic information to standard SAP transaction VL04). I found that if the execution of the delivery creation task is not in Background Processing (the user manually kicks off the Delivery creation in SBWP) the workflow works as expected and creates the deliveries. However, if the Background Processing is checked, the workflow does not process and does not create a delivery. Is there any specific reason as to why the workflow will not work in background?
Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
John

Hi,
John
See to process a Back ground task, there should be a proper parameter flow.
Please look at the import parameters in the method you are using to process the back ground task..
If proper import parameters are passed then the task will work
This should help..
Thanks,
Shanky

OIM 11gR2 Approval workflow not getting triggered

I created an approval workflow by following the 11gR2 developer's guide and deployed it. then created an app instance and also an approval policy for operational level which is auto approved and for request level with this composite. when i raise a request for this app instance in the catalog the SOA composite is not getting triggered. I am able to see a task in pending approval of system admin whenever i raise request for any user and if i complete that pending approval the app gets provisioned directly. Also i do not see any request ID also. please help to find out whats going wrong

Now i tried raising a request from another user who is not a member of SYSADMIN role. This time the request id is generated and a task 'Manual Task for Provision operation for Beneficiary X' is generated in pending approvals of xelsysadm user. When completed the app instance gets provisioned. So this means operational level approval task is triggered? and it has auto-provisioning?
why my custom approval workflow is not getting triggered?
I have created 2 approval policies, one for request level which is auto approval and other for operational level where i have selected the deployed composite name.In both the approval policies i have selected the request type as Provision ApplicationInstance. There is no error also while deploying the composite. Am i missing any step? please help.
