Parallel approval inWF

my question is this:
i want to send an activity to multiple approvers at same level for approval. these approvers i will get at run time.
i have given multiline element in mislanious tab of that activity.
it is working fine and activity is going to all approvers.
but now in parallel approval i did not find how to know which approver had aproved  and rejected it.
as i have to run the WF for next level if any one of them reject it.
is there any way to get the information of parallel process without defining different variable for each parallel approval process.
as we get no of parallel process at run time we cannot do it.
so if you can help me out for this problem i will be very thankful to you.
please reply soon its a bit urgent.

Create a fork with 2 parallel branch and 1 necessary branch. Now in 1 branch you put a wait for Event step and in the other you put the parallel approval task. When the user is using the Reject fnality you need to raise the event that you have put in the wait for event step. Regarding the WI_ACTUAL_AGENT Container element you need to bind this value from Task to Workflow in order to know which user has executed this workitem. I think if you have confusion try to make use of parallel subworkflow instead of parallel task.
Thanks

  • RFx Parallel approval workflow

    Dear Experts,
    I'm looking for sample code on how to implement the BADI agent determination with multiple areas for header (decision type 1) for RFx (BUS2200).
    I made all the required settings for parallel approval, but it for SC. The BAdI implementation for parallel approval /SAPSRM/BD_WF_SC_RR_PA works only with SC and Decision Type must be 4 — Item-Based Decision for Partial Document.

  • WS14000133- Parallel Approval

    Hi,
    In SRM 5.0 workflow WS14000133- n level approval of SC at header level, Is there a feature by which we can have parallel approval, but ensure that SC goes to next level only when all the parallel approvers have approved the cart?
    Currently in our system, the cart is pushed to next level even if one approver approves it and the work item is removed from the inbox of all other approvers.
    Regards,
    Srivatsan

    Hi Srivatsan,
    As far as I know it is not possible. But why would you want this? If you want paralel approval, wouldn't it be better to go for item level approval, so the  items are approved by the person responsible.

  • Parallel approval  nest sequent approval for SC

    Dear All
         I am using SRM7.02.
      I can realize parallel approval for SC  as following.
         only after A1 and B1 approved. the process will end or enter next level.
       But , the customer gave me a new challege,  as the following.
    The work item is sent to A1 and B1, after A1 approved , A2 would receive the work item.   after B1 approved, B2 would receive the work item.
    Only  after both A2 and B2 approved.  the process end or enter next level.
    any experts  can give me some suggestion?
    thanks in advance
    Jesse

    Hi Jesse,
    Even our clients in my earlier project, asked for a similar workflow. But SRM workflow wont support that because there are few scenarios which makes things complex. For example, when we have a combination of type 1 and type 3 approvals in a single flow, a part of the document reaches type 1 approver and a part doesn't. And also if a cart items are distinguished into one set in approval level 1, and they can be in different sets in next level even if all approval levels are of type 3 or type 4.

  • Parallel Approval in Self Servie HR (SSHR)

    Hi All,
    We have a requirement in which we need to send approval to multiple people at once. And if any approver approves the transaction, it should be considered approved and should not require any further approvals.
    According to the metalink note 473038.1, parallel approval is not possible in SSHR but the workaround is available using Roles in HRMS.
    I tried using this workaround and it seems only half of this solution is working and half not. It sends approvals and it is visible in Worklist but not sending any approval emails for approvers. Approver has to go into SSHR and has to approve the transaction. There is no push notification or any other way for approver to know that there is any action pending for his attention. Is there any solution which can send approval mails? Or any other solution for the parallel approvals?
    Thanks for help in advance.
    Regards,
    CAH

    Hi,
    Thanks for looking into the issue.
    I can receive the FYI notifications. So the notification mailer is up. Also, for other transactions, where only one approver is required, I am able to receive the notification. So Notification Style is also not disabled.
    Any other thought?
    Thanks,

  • Parallel Approval In Quoting

    Hi All,
    Our customer requires Parallel Approval in quoting. (Approval mail to be sent to more than one approver). Customer will be using AME.
    Is there any way we can achieve this? Please confirm.
    - Mahesh Jayaraman

    At this time, Quoting doesn't support parallel approval. you can follow this approach as mentioned in this document.
    You can follow the workaround mentioned in the Whitepaper Note 471125.1 Configuring Parallel Approvers Notification Using Oracle Approvals Management for Oracle Self-Service Human Resources (R11i10/R12)

  • How to implement a parallel approval?

    Hi, all.
    My process has a parallel approval, but I have no idea how to implement it.
    I have a task which has to be approved by three different managers parallelly.
    If all of them approve the task, then the task will keep going, otherwise the task fails.
    Besides I also have to monitor which manager doesn`t make a decision yet.
    Can any have the same requirement with mine?

    Hi Louis,
               I think this document do provide some steps for creating parallel blocks approval type.Hoping this might resolve or act as help in the query you are facing.Link : [parallel|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/8269bdb8-0701-0010-4692-c3349106ec66].
    Have a best day ahead.

  • Dynamic Parallel Approval for HCM Process and Forms

    Hi everyone,
    I have a scenario where I need to use the "Dynamic Parallel Approval" (or to keep it simple, initially I tried using the "Parallel Approval" wizard)for a workflow used in the HCM Process and Forms.
    The standard task for approval in process and forms is TS17900101. I have mentioned a multiline container in the Miscellaneous tab of this task. However,I was unable to use this task in the wizard. There are no results attahced to this task unlike any other standard approval task (like TS30200147). I need to use the task TS17900101 in the workflow assigned to process and forms, but not sure how to handle this scenario (parallel approval).
    If this is not the right way of doing it, Is there any workaround for "Parallel Approval" in HCM Process and Forms.
    Could anybody throw some light around this area.
    Thanks for your help.
    - MM

    Thanks Anuj. But I believe, the container element that I add in the miscellaneous tab does not necessarily have to be used in the agent assignment. The multiline container is just to instantiate the workitem 'n' number of times. Correct me if I am wrong.
    My concern is that I was unable to use this approval task (TS17900101) in the workflow wizard for dynamic paralle/parallel approval.
    Arghadip - Thanks for your suggestion. I have seen some your nice contributions in the WF forum.
    I actually tried using the 'Blocks'. But this is what I ran into. When I send multiple approval requests (say 3), if one person has approved it and the second has rejected it,I need to take out the workitem from the third person's list (because it has been rejected by someone in the group). I am not sure if this is possible using Blocks. And in my case the third person is still having the workitem, but gets a dump/error when he tries to open it.
    Also, if any one has rejected the request, I do not have to wait for the rest to take any action on the workitem and proceed further. But I guess in 'Blocks' it will not let you go out unless every workitem has been processed.
    To summarize,here's what I need - I need to come out of the block for two conditions. One, if everyone has approved, comeout of the block with an apprval flag. Two, if anyone has rejected (even if some have not processed their workitem), delete the workitems from others inbox and come out of the block with a rejection flag.
    So, any kind of input or suggestions on how this could be handled would be highly appreciated.
    Thanks

  • Required Parallel Approval from OTL Timekeeper Entry Form

    Hi All,
    Is it possible to perform parallel approval from OTL timekeeper entry form? it is using the following workflow OTL Seeded Approval Workflow HXCSAW(i think) if it is using this workflow can we change this workflow or need to write a new workflow for above mentioned requirement.
    Please share you experiences , its urgent
    Regards,
    Ssali

    Hi,
    HXCSAW is a custom workflow which do nothing accept approving and that can be change as per customer requirement. This child workflow called by parent workflow process HXCEMP. If u going to change the HXCSAW then u also need to change the seeded package associated with this workflow to embed your logic.
    We have done it through SSHR timesheet entry page, no idea if OTL timekeeper entry form carries approval or not.
    Whts the nature of ur parallel approval ? and how u can able to manage if via workflow ?

  • Container element for Count in Parallel Approval Workflow

    Hi Gurus,
    We are using ECC 6.0 and I have this below requirement. Please share your thoughts on how we can achieve this.
    We are using a User decision step in parallel workflow to generate and send individual work items to multiple approvers. that is, we generate multiple work items and send to individual approvers for the same step in the workflow and get the combined result (Approve or Reject) to proceed further. I understand that individual result for each work item is stored in container element '_RESULT' (0001 for Approve, 0002 for Reject) and combined result of all the sub-work items is stored in '_WI_RESULT' (0001 for Approve, 0002 for Reject). Also, we can see the index # of work items generated for the same step (node) from container element ''_WF_PARFOREACH_INDEX'.
    My requirement is to set work item to COMPLETED status after we obtain a certain # of APPROVE (_RESULT = 0001) decision. Let's say, after 2 of the approvers say Ápproved', then I'd like to close all the other relevant work items and set the Combined result '_WI_RESULT'to APPROVE and Complete the relevant work item. I was wondering if there is a container element that holds the (count) # of work items generated in individual work item container so that I can keep reading this value to see how many decisions have been made. That is, for example, If there are 3 parallel work items generated and 1st user said Äpproved',  is there a way to know out of a total of 3 approvals (to get the combined result '_WI_RESULT'), one is completed and 2 approval decisions are still pending. I'm trying to use step-level Pgm Exit (After_execution Method) to read this container element for # of approvals done and if the combined result '_WI_RESULT'is '0001'(Approve), i'll try to end other work items. One way of doing is to have a custom table to capture this and keep reading this table after each decision. But, I don't want to have all this customization and I believe there should be a way the SAP is storing somewhere this # of completed or Pending approval work items that got originated from a single step/node. One way of doing could be, after each decision, read the dependent work items (having same node # and Parent Work item etc.,) and get the other relevant work items and read their status etc., But I think this is a lengthy process and may be there is an easier way, perhaps some container element that holds this information.
    Please let me know if you need any clarification on my requirement and share your thoughts on how I can achieve easily.
    Appreciate and thank you in advance for your help.
    Regards,
    Venu

    Hi Karri,
    Thank you for your reply. I was actually doing the same with having an APR_COUNT and passing that for each of individual work items and bind it back to task--> wflow container. And keep checking this counter in wf container.
    Once, we obtain certain # of approvals, then I guess I'll have to complete or cancel the other work items.
    I was thinking may be there is some container element already exists that keep track of this, I guess not .
    Thanks for your input

    Venu

  • CLM workflow parallel approval

    Hello Experts,
    Kindly need  help in achieving below workflow requirement.
    For each user account, we have maintained an extension field  'MANAGER1' and 'MANAGER2'. so if for a user if both the manager values are set we need to add them as approvers. the workflow should trigger parellel approvals. Which ever manager approves first, should approve for the entire step.
    Please advice how to handle this case.
    Regards,
    Kubra.

    Hi,
    As Vikram said, Sourcing doesnu2019t support parallel workflow. See if you can User Group instead of maintaining users directly. e.g. create a user group call mgrgrp_1 with users manager 1 and manager 2.
    While adding a group as approver in the script, you have chance to say, whether all or any users in the group will approve.
    Thanks,
    Baski

  • Acheiving dynamic parallel approval

    Hi,
    I am trying to use a decision step to send the approval request to a list of agents specified in a multiline container element. I am able to generate as many parallel branches as the number of agents. I want to acheive the following once this is done:
    1) The workflow should not continue unless all approvers have approved a request (this can be regarded as an AND operation)
    2)The workflow should continue even if one approver rejects a request. Also if any one approver rejects, the workitem should disappear for all other approvers.
    A related question is as follows:
    How do we specify an End condition for a decision step using a multiline container element. The end condition doesnt seem to be working for me. A step by step approach with some screenshots may be helpful.
    Thanks,
    Mudit

    Hi Vinoth,
    Your solution seems to be interesting. I will try it and let you know if it works for me. However, I tried a similar approach where I was raising an exception in the reject branch of the User Decision step (which uses a multiline container element) using the same Process Control step and was trying to catch it in a block element. But the workflow throws up an error with the way I tried. I will try the fork method which you have suggested.
    Also I am interested in knowing if I can make use of the End Condition for this purpose which can be specified in the miscellaneous tab of the UD step where we specify the Multiline Container element. I am not sure when that End condition would be triggered.  If somebody has got this End Condition to work for him, can you share the exact steps that you followed for this?
    Thanks for all your time.
