I was get some trouble when implement one step approval from HQ in my company.
It's a logical when some one just implement one step approval it is not make a hugh impact for controlling and sometimes end-user was change their own approval step make negative impact for workflow. Not logical but they make it logical but system still make sure it work.

Shopping cart's One step approval workflow activation

Hi Gurus,
Please reply me for, how to create a shopping cart with One step approval workflow activation?

Hi George,
The creation of the SC stays the same. Only the event linkage and the start conditions determine which workflow will be started.

One step approval workflow

Hi All,
I have added a step in one step approval workflow to check shop on behalf.
When a person shop's on behalf of a manager, and 1 step approval is triggered, i want the approver to be the manager.
But what is happening is that Manager's Manager is getting the workitem!
My query is that :if A shop's for B, the approver should be B for the shopping cart. How can i achieve this????
Anybody knows what needs to be done in this scenario?
Thanks & Regards,
San

Hi San,
In addition to Usman's views also look at the below mentioned points :
1. In your org. structure if you have named somebody else as the head of the department for that org. unit, it will go to that person for approval.
2. And there is no point in taking approval from the same guy for whom you are shopping on behalf. In such a case that guy can himself create a shopping cart.
Looks like there is some mis / lack of understanding about the correct client requirements.
But there are few work arounds you define this guy as the substitute for his manager.Then either of them can approve the shopping cart.
Or.. don't make any body as H.O.D of org. unit and define the approval agent in the work flow builder using SWDD txn and let the approver will be taken from there.
Hope this makes you more clear and helps in resolving your issue. Clarifications are welcome.

Is N level workflow in SRM suitable for BRF rather than the two step approv

Could anybody give some information about N level workflow in SRM abt whether it is more suitable for BRF (business rule framework) for agent determination rather than the two step approval workflow ?

Hi Rita,
BRF is process level configuration. You will have to define a schema and it will be tied to a Business object (say BUS2121). Schema consists different process steps. Each process step can be tied to a work flow (Task id). So, it doesn't matter whether 2 step or N step WF in BRF for the process step. Agent determination will happen regardless.

WS14000044 Completion by Purchaser follwed by WS10000129 One Step approval

Hi Folks,
I have activated the WS14000044 Completion by Purchaser workflow and it works just fine.
My problem is that the approval WF WS10000129 One Step approval does not start automatically when the buyer has completed the SC.
The SC creator has to go to the SC and click on change and then order it before it goes to the approver.
Can this be true?
Thanks in advance,
Thomas

WS14000088 one-step Approval of contracts

Dear SRM Friends,
I have problem with finding the right approver for my workflow 14000088 one-step approval of contracts.
The process is easy:
My purchaser with user role: SAP_EC_BBP_PURCHASER should create the contract. Afterwards my Manager1 with user role: SAP_BBP_STAL_PURCHASER_MANAGER should approve this contract.
Beside I have to say, that my Manager stands above serval organisational units - but he is the only one - who has this role SAP_BBP_STAL_PURCHASER. And in my workflow this role ist determined.
So I aspect that my Manager1 will be displayd in Approval Preview - but it didn´t. Instead of that there appears the Manager2 of the organisational unit of my Purchaser.
But how can that be? Manager2 did´nt have the role SAP_BBP_STAL_PURCHASER.
I have checked following transaktions:
bbppd with BUS2000113_
with result:
workflow item:
workitem - ID: 79856
Task: WS14000088
Text: one-step approval of contracts
Status: started
Statustext: in process
Node ID: 000000023
Agent: Mr xyz
User: Manager2
State: Ready
Workitem:79856
Created at: 18.09.2009
Finished at: "Blank"
Discription: First Approval
Node ID: 000000092
Agent. "Blank"
User: "Blank"
State / Worktitem:No workitem found
Created at: "Blank"
Finished at: "Blank"
Discription: New Approval
OOCU ( Assign Agents ):
WS14000088
Role: SAP_BBP_STAL_PURCHASE_MANAGER
SWDD ( Workflow Builder ):
WS14000088
TS14007969 first approval
here I wanted to add my Agent "Manager1" but I get following message:
"general task can be edited by all user"
PPOSABBP ( organisational Model ):_
Attributes for my Manager1
User Role: SAP_BBP_STAL_PURCHASER_MANAGER
Transaction Type: Contracts / ID: CT_PROC_TY / Value: PCTR
So - I don´t have any ideas what to do.
I would be glad If someone have any ideas.....
Best Regards

Hi,
The approver for one-step approval of contracts is determined from the org structure as the manager of the user that creates the contract. So this is working correctly for you since manager2 is the org manager. The check on the agents of the task also occurs and since this is set to general, then manager2 will always be selected. Basically the intersection between the agents of the task and the org unit manager will be selected. If you change the agent of the task to have the SAP_BBP_STAL_PURCHASER role, then you will get an error when creating the contract since no approver will be found.
If you want to have the approver determined in a different way then you would need to use the n-step approval badi workflow for contract, WS14000148. This will allow you to determine the approver using your own code.
By the way, if you want to change the agents for the task, then display the task in PFTC. Goto
Additional Data ->
Agent Assignment ->
Maintain ->
Click on Attrributes ->
Select radio button -> Forwarding not allowed ->
Now Select from the menu -> Agent Assignment -> Create
You should now be able to add a role.
Hope this helps.
Kind regards,
Siobhan

Standard n-step approval workflow for Purchase Order in sap 4.7?

Hello friend,
In SAP 4.7 there is any standard template for n-step approval workflow for Purchase Order.
thanks in advance.

Hi AM,
there is no std template for n-step approvals but for Single Release.
What you could do is create a custom one as per the number of approvals for PO.
Also note a PO Release Strategy can handle only 8 levels of approval.
Hope it helps.

Hi,
1 step approval - Number of approvals will be 1
n step - number of approvals greater then 2(since std approval workflow present till 2 level)
The general customising steps for Workflows apply to both of them (like SWU3 customising.event linkage etc) but other then that for,
1 step approval -
-->Need to activate the starting conditions
-->Agent assignment to be done seperately for the Approval task
(Also the N step workflow can be used as 1 step workflow with number of approvals being set to 1 through the Logic in the badi.)
N step approval -
-->to be implemented through BADI BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI .This BADi actually determines the Agents/approvers for the workflow.
-->As per my exp,this workflow is very unstable and for few updates,you may have to apply number of notes(e.g. Approval status not updated properly,graphical preview not visible properly etc)

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!

Saumya

Contract N-Step approval workflow - WS14000148

Hi,
I have activated the workflow template WS14000148 and implemented the badi definition 'BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI' to populate the agents for routing the workflow notification.
When i create a contract, the workitem is going to the corresponding manager, but the 'Approve' and 'Reject' buttons are disabled on the Approval step of the workitem. I have checked for activation of work flow tasks, and also assigned agents to the required tasks.
Can anyone please help why the 'Approve' and 'Reject' buttons are disabled.
Thanks,
Raghu.

Hi,
See the foll related threads:
Approve reject button is disabled
Re: Approve Reject button in Item level is disable
Also see the foll notes:
Note 967429 - Approval buttons not updated after release
Note 1074724 - WS14000148:Button "Return to approver" does not work
Note 1019390 - Contract APPROVE/REJECT button displayed even after approval
