PO Approval Delegation

Hi guys
can anyone tell me, if the final approver delegates approval authority to the approver below him,does that approver (approver below) need to have the same limit(monetary) of approval as the final approver

Hi,
Final approver can approve over $20,000
Delegated person can approve with a limit <= $20,000,...
Question : Can this person be able to approve above $20000?????
Ans : Nope.. As his limit is <= $20,000 , any PO within his limit he only can approve even though PO is delegated to him which is higher han $20,000
To confirm the same, test it this way...
Step1:
=====
Assign a job through which the delegated person can approve PO higher than $20,000, now try to approve a PO which is delaged to him whose value is higher than $20,000... He will be able to approve this PO.
Step2:
=====
Assign a job through which the delegated person can approve PO <= $20,000, now try to approve a PO which is delaged to him whose value is higher than $20,000... He will not be able to approve this PO. Now the PO will be pending with his Supervisor for approval.. You can check the same in PO action history
Hope this will help

AE 5.2 Approver Delegation working after valid to date

We have a user that set up an approver delegation with a valid to date of 06/03/2008 and as of 6/20/2008 it is still working.
Has anyone else seen this and know of a fix, besides deactivating the delegation.

Clark-
Yes, this is a bug that SAP will address in SP 9 or 10, not sure.
Right now, you have to manually make the delegation inactive or delete it...

Approver Delegation

GRC 5.3 sp9: When the AEAdmin does the Approver Delegation for a user (userA) and delegates the approval to userB, any new request goes to userB (as it should) but also goes to userA, both for approval. Where is the email for userA coming from and how do I kill it?

Hi Jack,
You cannot stop the email. It is going to both users becuase they are the next approvers. Either A or B can approve the request, so the email is sent to both of them. Hope this helps.
Thanks & Regards,
Venky.

Hi Mustafa,
Sorry for late Replay.

CUP-SP13 Delegation Approver

Hi Experts,
We are running SP13 and I wanted to know if you have tested about the approver delegation in SP13.
I check that in SP12 this approver delegation send only the request for approval to the delegated approver.
After Going to SP13 I tested again and now both the approver and the delegated approver are able to see the request. Have you notice that? does anyone experience the same?
Thanks in advance!
Margarita

Hi Margarita,
As per the functionality of Approver delegation approver as well as the delegated approver both can see the request pending for approval. It is applicable to new as well as old requests depends of the time duration.This as per design of the apporover delegation funcationality.
I do not have SP12 in my landscape, so I can not comment on SP12.

MSS Time Approval - multiple (different) selection options for manager?

Hi all
I am setting up MSS Time Approval delegation in ERP2005 without workflow, leave request, nor portal development environment set up.
In this case, the customer needs to have multiple selection options for who to approve:
1. The manager's direct reports (standard functionality)
2. All subordinates, all levels down
3. Delegate's (manager or non-manager) view of a particular (other) manager's direct reports
3b. This might extend to a set of different delegation selections
4. Add or remove certain individuals
Now, getting 3. and 4. to work was simple using the BAdI (I think the enhancement spot is named APPR_CUST), method ...-edit_selection, but I am having difficulties with 2. and 3b. Now I am thinking along these lines, and I would greatly appreciate your input:
A. It seems that the MSS "Approve working time" app only loads the data selection at the entry into this screen (INIT command from portal), using the start perspective determined for example by the IMG for defining the approval profile <-> view. My debugging suggests that the view change from the drop down menu (CHANGE_PERSPECTIVE command) only picks a different way to present the same data set.
Could anybody please confirm or contradict this conclusion?
B. Is it possible to present the entire "Approve working time" section in MSS in multiple different copies so that they would all generate an INIT command? Or is it possible to copy and modify the entire MSS tab, resulting in an ESS tab, one MSS, one "D"SS, one "A"SS (well, not suggesting that the top manager is one, but you get the drift...) and so on?
If either of this were possible, it would be simple to make two modifications, one at the beginning of the FM called by the portal and one at the FM that returns the start perspective.
So far I have been trying to catch and alter the CHANGE_PERSPECTIVE command into an INIT in the back end, but the Time Approval functionality is a bit too complex for me to feel entirely comfortable with this approach.
Your input is much appreciated!
Kind regards
Niclas Arndt

We too are using MSS for time approval of time entered via ESS. We are on ECC 6.0 for the backend (no enhancement packs, at least not yet), currently sp stack 10 with hrsp 24, and EP 7.0 with stack 10 for the ESS/MSS business packages. We are using the standard MSS UWL functionality for the approval, so it is workflow-based in my understanding.
In other parts of MSS, the managers can see a few levels deep in the organization structure, based upon the definition we gave for their structural profiles. For instance, in the team calendar/overview, or other team information, they have a choice for multiple levels or only direct reports. However, in the time approval application, only direct reports are shown, so if a manager goes on vacation, at present the only way to cover time approvals for that manager's employees appears to be to temporarily assign a new 'chief' to that org unit, so HR involvement becomes necessary. The manager doesn't have any method for delegating the approval or other MSS authorities. We were hoping that by allowing multiple levels in the structural profile, such approvals would "roll up" to the next level, i.e. the manager's supervisor, so the next level manager could act as a backup to his/her managers on vacation. That doesn't work, however.
We have heard that a delegation feature for MSS will be available in an upcoming release, but I haven't found any information regarding whether that requires an upgrade, an enhancement pack, a later service pack level, or what or when that functionality will be available. Does anyone know anything about that?

CUP 5.3 SP8 - Escalation process for manager approval stage

Hello,
We have our basic workflow configured that when a request is created by a user, the first stage it goes to is their Manager for approval.
We are running into the scenario; what if a Manager forgets to approve or isn't available or is out of office and can't approve the request? We think we want to setup escalation of some sort but are unsure how to go about it.
The escalation options that we have are:
No Escalation
Forward to Next Stage
Forward to Alternate Approver
Forward to Admin
Intially, we felt that "Forward to Next Stage" would suffice because Security Admins is our next stage. If the alloted time passed for Managers to approve the request, escalation would move the request to our Security Admins. However, "Forward to Next Stage" is essentially an Approval, meaning Security Admins will get the email saying the request was Approved, not the email saying the request was Escalated. This will cause confusion with our Security Admins; they won't know that the request was in fact escalated because they got an approval email.
We want Security Admins to ultimately get the authority in this instance so they can see that a Manager did not review in time, or is out of office so they can forward the request to a different manager.
Keep in mind, I do understand we can have the Manager setup approval delegation. This doesn't help us however if the manager forgets to set his approver delegator when he leaves the office or really is in the office but is unavailable due to various reasons.
I'm curious about the option "Forward to Alternate Approver." - who is the alternate approver for managers? Is it always the delegate? Is it possible that the alternate approver is the next level up on the HR heirarchy?
Let me know if I need to clarify my issue.
Thanks!
Jes Behrens

Jes,
We have 2 approvers for each role. We defined in the Role Approver Stage that it be routed to the alternate approver should the main approver not respond in the next 3 days (via Forward to Alternate Approver). Bear in mind, once it is escalated to the alternate approver, the main approver will not be able to view/approve the request anymore. If the alternate approver does not approve/reject the request, the request will be left as is.
In our case, we have used the functionality in CUP to pre-define the alternate approver rather than in your case, you would want to only escalate it as and when your Security Admin decides to. I believe if your Security Admin staff has admin rights in CUP, they are able to forward it to another approver via the Administrator tab. Else you can create a new stage to foward to your admin staff if it is not action upon.

IExpenses Pending Approver field.

Hi,
For a report, I will need to display the Pending approver on the Iexpense credit card claims. This will need to meet the following business requirements:
1. For all pending expense claims, (With original approver, delegated, vacation rules assignments) it should show the CURRENT PENDING APPROVER.
2. If there is a expired notification(and no OPEN notifications) against the expense claim, then it should give up a NO VALID APPROVER value for this field.
3. In case the expense claim needs no action(APPROVED, INVOICED, REJECTED, CANCELLED expense), it should be left blank.
I could use either ap_expense_report_headers_all.expense_current_approver_id (which doesnt handle the vacation rules) or get it from wf_notifications.to_user(which doesnt account for actioned expense claims). Are there any other options I could have a look at?

Computed Actor and Approver - quick question

Just wondering whether 'Computer Actor' and 'Approver' always points to the same persons?
If I would set a group as 'approver' in my approval WF it still comes up as a person (or persons) in both fields in request details.
Does 'Computer Actor' field mean that MS is planning to have an Approval Delegation scheme in FIM in a future?
the only thing I really miss in FIM now is delegation... It would be nice to have 'approve on behalf', delegation of rights for users on vacations and so on...

(...) the only thing I really miss in FIM now is delegation... It would be nice to have 'approve on behalf', delegation
of rights for users on vacations and so on... (...)
I know that this is standard answer and not very helpful but ... - that kind of functionality can be achieved with custom workflow activities. I used this approach few times. Calculate approves in
approval workflow with respecting delegation settings on users (mostly additional reference on a user where person who is substitute is pointed out).
Not out of the box, probably not perfect, but in many cases this approach is good enough.

Access Control View All Role

Hello Experts,
We are currently implementing GRC Compliant User Provisioning for the client. Apart from the configuration team with role AEAdmin, we have few client experts to look into the sandox system and understand the cnfiguration we made is as per the requirement.
In doing so, they tend to modify some or other configuration at times knowingly/ unknowingly which lead us to longer debugging time.
Is there a way I can create a UME role with only View Configuration Action to avoid such circumstances.
Thanks
Rashmi

Hi Rashmi,
1- Assign following actions to Role:-
ViewReject
ViewHold
ViewCopyRequest
ViewCreateRequest
ViewSearchRequestAll
ViewRequstAuditTrail

ViewReRoute
ViewAccessEnforcer
ViewSelectPDProfiles
ViewMitigation
ViewRiskAnalysis
ViewSelectRoles
ViewReaffirms

Rest of the Tabs in Configuration is running along with Modify action in AE5.2.
2- Some new actions are added by SAP GRC RND Team In Compliant User Provisioning 5.3( Access Enforcer 5.3) for only view the Initiators,Stages,Path,Connectors,Provisioning,HR Trigger,Userdefaults Etc.
In AE 5.3 independent View and Modify actions are available
for each tab like for initiators ,Connectors Ect, But this type of provision is not available in AE 5.2.

Delegation of Approvals (Approval Workflow in Purchasing Module)

Hi,
I am using AME(Approval Management Engine) to generate the list of approvers for all the requisitions.
My requirement is:
If a requisiton requires approval of 'ABC'. But ABC is not able to approve it because he is on leave. So the workflow should automatically be delegated to another approver.
This situation also comes when ABC didn't approve the requisition for a fixed time. After that time limit it will be delegated.

Sambit

Delegation for approval

hello
we have a scenario in SAP HCM to create a workflow for leave application which should have capability to have a three level delegation of approval. Example if the first approver is absent or the position gets vacant due to any scenario , the workflow should have a capability to move the approval to the next level , similarly to one more level.
Does standard workflow support this , can this be done in a automatic manner in the UWL in SAP E-portal ?
Your suggestions are welcome.
Regards
sameer

SAP UWL would support substitution in general and this is not limited to leave.
If you want to automate it then you need to use the badi interface IF_EX_PT_GEN_REQ.
there are various ways you can achieve the required action.
You can use method FIND_RESP_AND_DEFAULT_NEXT_PRC   where you can determine if the respective approver is absent and put the entire logic of handling request.
or you can use CHECK_IF_ACTOR_ABSENT to determine if the approver is absent.
in which ever case you will have to use method FIND_RESP_AND_DEFAULT_NEXT_PRC to automatically determine approvers.
We have used this approach and we are determining the substitution process for leave.
You can write normal code to determine approver but you will have to push this in the parameters
EX_DEF_NEXT_PROC_ACTOR and EX_RESPONSIBLE_ACTOR.
use below code to feel above parameters using pernr found from your logic.
CLASS ca_pt_req_actor DEFINITION LOAD.
         actor = ca_pt_req_actor=>agent.
         CALL METHOD actor->create_actor
           EXPORTING
             im_actor_type      = 'P'
             im_otype           = 'P'
             im_objid           = <PERNR OF SUBSTITUTE>
           IMPORTING
             ex_actor           = EX_RESPONSIBLE_ACTOR
           EXCEPTIONS
             missing_parameter = 1
             pernr_not_existing = 2
             application_error = 3
