OTL Multiple Approver Levels

In OTL while defining Approvers, We have defined HR Supervisor as Approver for Human Resources Applications. Now we want to set second approver level, which can be person/ or formula.
But when I defined another level with same Application it gives an error that I can not have two rows for same application. Then how can I implement above functionality using approval style

I guess you can achieve it using Entry Level Aprovals.
1. Define a empty Time category(TC1)..i.e. just select Dummy Element context, do not select any element name (its implied that Time category includes all elements)
2. In the Approval style scree, select Entry level approvals as the approval mechanism.
3. Click Entry Level approval fragments button
4. Define as follows
Row1=> TC1 - HR Supervisor - 1 (seq)
Row2=> TC1 - Person - <person name> - 2(seq)
I guess it should work

Multiple Approval Leave Request in Fiori

Hello,
Do we have multiple approval Leave request in Fiori and how do we enable it.
In EHP7 portal we have multiple approval and Fiori app should be in synch with the same. However, I could not find any option to enable the multi-level approval for leave request in Fiori.
Regards,
Divya

Hi Divya,
Are you talking about, multiple levels of approval in approve leave requests app in Fiori.
This totally depends on the workflow template you are using. If the workflow you use in your portal handles multiple approval, your approve leave request should allow the same too. Make sure you are getting the workitems in your sap inbox.
Let us know if this is not what you are asking for.

GL Journal approval- Send notification to multiple approver

Hello
I want to send GL journal approval notification to multiple approver, once any of the approver approves the journal it should be removed from worklist of all approver. How can we acheive this?
Pls help
Thanks
Avalon

Hi
What i am sure of is that you can have specific groups for your journal approval and each of the groups can have specific approvers.
When i say the above line, i mean that you can have groups like Treasury, Finance and Payroll and each of them have their desiganated approvers.
Then the level of journal preparer who can also fall to a specific group.
Once the journal preparer belonging to a specific group prepares a journal, it will route to the journal approver belonging to the specific group.
I am not sure about whether you can create approval groups and also if you send the journal for approver to multiple approver, than how the other approver will come to know that the journal is approved or rejected or whether has the other person taken any action - it will create dependencies between the 2 person and hence might create confusion.
So i am not sure about the resolution for your question.
But if the approach suggested by me matches your requirement, i can forward you the document which contains the step you need to do to achieve the functionality,
Hope this helps.
Thanks and Regards

Send activity to multiple approver in workflow

hi experts,
i have multiple approver at same level and have multiple leves say e.g. I have 3 levels of approval process and at each level there can be more than one approvers (same activity should go to more than one users).
and activity should be complete only when all approvers take action on that.
I had created a rule so that activity is going to multiple users for approval but the problem is when any one user takes some action on it, the activity is disappearing from all users inbox.
points will be rewarded for useful ans.
thanks.

here the activity is going in second user's inbox for two times,
insted of going into each user's inbox.
please help to reslove this issue.

UWL Multiple approval

Hi Gurus,
Need some advice here. I have customized my XML file to include 2 new columns; Approve and Reject. It is a radio button option. My question is, how do i add a 'button' at the header level which will allow me to approve all workitems based on the radio button 'approved' selection made? Basically, i would like to approve have the option of multiple approval.
I have gone through the standard configuration documents but i could not pin point the section that i am missing. Please advise.
Regards

Hi,
Normally UWL iViews appears with radio button for each of the workitem in the list.
It can be customized using Decision Views. For e.g. converting radio boxes to check boxes to enable
mulitple choices etc.
Look into Decision View configuration part of the UWL.
Hope it will give some pointers.

Removing multiple approval year linkage

For a project, it has multiple approval year for eg. 2008 and 2010 (Investment management) at diferent WBS elements level ,we need to remove 2008 and then proceed further to complete with 2010.

Dear Suresh,
After you finish to process the approval year carry forward (transaction IM27_REPEAT), you have to carry out capital investment program closure (transaction IM27_CLOSE)
This way, the new and old measures (WBS elements) will only receive the budget from one investment program position
Hope it helps

Can I have multiple volume levels in one track?

I have a track composed of audio from a cassette recorder of a now deceased relative's voice.
Since the cassette was turned on and off during recording, the recordings are at different volumes.
I have been able to import the cassette into a GarageBand project, and delete dead space, but now I find that the volume is not consistent.
Any way to remedy that? I am wondering if I need to chop it up and make more than one track, and adjust the volume on each track? Will this work as long as the tracks don't overlap?
And then do I send the finished product to iTunes in order to be able to use it in an iMovie?
Or can I drag it right from GarageBand to iMovie?
Many thanks, I'm a very new GarageBand user.

BADI/User exit for ME18 to specifically check for Approval Level...

Hi all,
I hope this is not a repost. I have found none so far in SDN forum. However if do, please point it to me. I will gladly close this thread.
Ok, i need a userexit/badi, whichever will do, to check for user approval levels in ME18.
So far I couldn't find a user exit/Badi that is suitable in my SAP system using SMOD and the program that find user exit by TCODE.
I hope SAP do provide a user exit that can actually check for user Approval Level in ME18.
Can anyone share this info on this issue?
Thanks,
William Wilstroth

There are few enhancement points available for ME18. Please check them once.

Setting approval level for credit management in SD

Dear Gurus,
I have a case like this:
My client would like to use credit management in SD. They have few approval levels for for credit limit release.
Exp: With SD has amount under from 1000$, Mr. A has the right to approve and release it
        With SD has amount bigger than 1000$, Mr. A have to release it and then Mr. B check again afterwards Mr. B can reject and release it up to his decision.
As I see in SAP, maybe there is only one level for check and after release the SO doesn't need other approve anymore. But I am still concerning about how to find or config to satisfy this requirement.
Thank for nice support!

You can ask your ABAPer such that your view contains the above mentioned fields and in the the approvers you have to enter the "Pernr id" s of approver s which can be taken from HR people.

Multiple key level associations

Hi,
I am getting the below error during the consistency check.
Table, X, has multiple key level associations.
Can anyone please let me know the reason for the same.
Also, when I drag the physical tables from the physical layer to the BMM Layer, there are some default primary keys in the Logical Table.What considerations does OBIEE take into when deciding upon the Primary Key in the Logical table.
Thanks in Advance
Akshatha

"can you check the keys foreign keys for those table "
You didn't mention what I should be checking for.
However, I think I've worked it out now.
I have a dimension table that is referenced by both other dimension tables and the fact tables. Therefore, when imported into BI, both the dimension tables and the fact tables have foreign keys to this common dimension table.
I'm guessing that the foreign keys on the dimension tables are not required - because there are foreign key references from the fact tables to the common table anyway. Bearing in mind that this is a star schema and not a snowflake schema.
=> I deleted all the foreign keys from all my dimension tables, and now the consistency check works ok.

Spawning multiple approval tasks in parallel in OIM11g SOA Composite

Hi,
We are trying to implement the following scenario.
1) We are trying to develop a SOA composite for AD Group Access
2) The request dataset contains a child table for AD User Group Details which is as follows.
<AttributeReference name="AD User Group Details" attr-ref="UD_ADUSRC" type="String" length="20" widget="text" available-in-bulk="true">
<AttributeReference name="Group Name" attr-ref="Group Name" type="String" length="400" widget="lookup" available-in-bulk="true" lookup-code="Lookup.ADReconciliation.GroupLookup" primary="true"/>
</AttributeReference>
3) Consider the user is already provisioned to AD.
4) User now tries to request for AD Group Access by using a request template
5) The request dataSet for the resource "AD Group Access" will be displayed where the user would "Add" the group(s) to which (s)he want access.
6) Once the request is sumbitted the associated SOA composite would be executed.
7) Now, in the SOA composite the logic should be as follows:
a. For each group selected, there is a corresponding dataApprover who should approve the request.
b. Once the dataApprover approves the request it goes to the next approver who is securityApprover.
c. Once the securityApprover approves the request, the request should go thru and the user should get the membership in the AD Group.
d. Since "AD User Group Details" is a child form in the request dataset, the user can add multiple groups in the same request.
e. If there are muliple groups selected in the same request, then the same request should spawn parallel approval tasks for all corresponding dataApprovers and securityApprovers.
f. Then the user should get membership to those AD Groups for which the corresponding dataApprover and securityApprover had approved the request.
e. If a dataApprover or securityApprover rejects the request then the user shouldn't get membership to the respective group. However, this shouldn't prevent the user from getting membership to other groups for which dataApprover-securityApprover approval was done.
The dataApprover and securityApprover for the groups are stored in a db table mapping to the corresponding group name.
We have implemented a SOA composite for which the logic is fine if we add only one group in the child table of request dataset. As per the current implementation, when a user submits the request, the dataApprover and securityApprover for the selected group are fetched from the table and the global variables in SOA composite are set with the ID of dataApprover and securityApprove using setVariableData. These are sting variables. These variables are used in the approval task. The approval task has two "Single Type" participants - dataApprover and securityApprover. These participants fetch the value of dataOwner and securityOwner from the global variables set using setVariableData.
Now, as mentioned above, if mutiple groups are added like group1, group 2 etc. then there should be multiple approval tasks spawned in parallel that will be approved/rejected by dataApprover1-securityApprover1, dataApprover2-securityApprover2 etc. Depending on the output (approve/reject) the user should get membership to appropriate groups.
Any inputs on how to modify the current composite to spawn multiple approval tasks in parallel depending on the number of groups added from the requestDataSet would be helpful.
Regards,
Swaroop

Single request id then you are bit safe. The way to do it would be:
1. Set the dataApprovers as a comma separated list of all the data approvers for all the groups.
2. Set the securityApprovers as a command separated list of all the security approvers for all the groups.
3. In Human Task assign the first stage to all the dataApprovers and second stage to securityApprovers.
Cons of this approach are:
1. All the approvers would see all the data and they might be confused what they are approving.
2. securityAppprovers for say group1 won't get the item untill all the dataApprovers approve the request even though dataApprover has approved the request for group1.
3. Would be hard to implement the rejection cases; depending upon how you want to handle the rejections. For e.g. what if any dataApprover rejects the request? Should the whole request be rejected? If so what would happen to those which have already been approved by dataApprovers? Same case goes for securityApprovers. Again since you cannot modify the requested data once the request is submitted; thus you cannot remove the rejected groups from the request.
4. You provisioning won't trigger untill all dataApprovers and all securityApprovers have approved the request.
5. Any one approve from comma separated list of approvers would approve the request. Thus you cannot make sure that all the approvers should approve the request. The workaround would be to create parallel stages in human task and assign one group/approver to one parallel stage. This would mean that you will have to hard code the number of parallel approvals which can be generated in your BPEL human task (This would again depend upon the number of groups requested). To workaround this you could use BPEL extenal routing program where you can pragmatically assign tasks but again since there is no entitlement based request engine in OIM, thus there would be issues there too.
As a workaround, make sure that you allow only one group to be requested per request and reject the request outright if multiple groups are requested in a single request. You will need to buy in the business on this one.
Have heard the grapevine that 12G which is in the pipeline would have entitlement based request engine and also would allow for modification of request data once the request is submitted.

Stat machine workflow task workflow status different values on different state activity(Approval level)

i have developed the State machine workflow in which i am using default workflow task
i have added one status dropdown and that is having approve or reject that i set using workflow task drop down values
now my requirement is that when my workflow goes to different approval i need to have different status values in dropdown
for example
on manager approval state activity i need to add additional status value forward to legal
but when it moved to next activity this task status field should show only approve and reject
in summary i need to have different status values for workflow task when it moved to different state activity(approval levels)
can we set these status field of task for state machine workflow programtically as well like for different approval level of task i need different status to be set for the dropdown of task status field

Hi Shahid Siddique,
I have seen a similar thread from you about this issue, create custom form for the seperate form is a considerable workaround, you can have a check whether it works.
