PO Approval workflow Acceptance Required issue

When PO_headers_all.acceptance_required_flag = 'Y', expected behaviour of PO Approval workflow is to send Action Required
email to supplier. But for some POs even PO_headers_all.acceptance_required_flag = 'Y', PO approval workflow is sending FYI emails to supplier, instead of action required email should goto supplier.
I have verifed the supplier responsibility who is receiving FYI email, supplier got responsibility to acknowledge PO ( based on POS_ACK_ORDER function assigned to supplier responsibility ) .
Could any one suggest me, how and where to fix this issue ? How will I know what is the cause of supplier receiving FYI email instead of Action required email ?
Thanks,
Sunitha

  • OOTB Approval Workflow CC field issue

    I have a OOTB Approval Workflow that functions as expected but for the CC field. The email goes to only the first user mentioned in the CC field and not to the ones thereafter. I have checked the Approval Workflow steps using SharePoint Designer but nothing
    seems to be off. I have run out of ideas as to why only the first name in the CC gets an email but not the rest.

    Yes I did try changing the order. Still emails the first user mentioned in the order.
    KP
    Hi Kartik,
    Do you mean if you change the order of users in CC field, only the first user can recieve the email?
    Could you please contact SMTP administrator and see if message is sent from SharePoint workflow and recieved by user account? If you are using Exchange server as SMTP server, you could check message tracking log per timestamp.

  • OIM 11.1.1.5 Approval Workflow Issue

    Hi,
    I have installed OIM 11.1.1.5. While self-registration of a user, the request is created and by default assigned to xelsysadm as the request level approver.
    However, when the approver logs in, assigns the organization to the user and approves the request, it is shown that the approval task is completed.
    But the request status doesn't change and remains "Obtaining Request Approval" and thus the user is not created in OIM.
    In SOA server, on checking the logs (soa_server1-diagnostic.log) we found the following error -
    [soa_server1] [ERROR] [] [oracle.soa.bpel.engine.dispatch] [tid: orabpel.engine.pool-5.thread-4] [userId: weblogic] [ecid: ee9b8be672bf5ad0:-72f1c18e:1399f6dc058:-8000-0000000000000108,0:1:100000006] [APP: soa-infra] failed to handle message[[

    Hi ,
    I actually faced the same issue some time back .., it took me almost a week to resolve it ..
    This is happening basically due to incompatible version of wsm-policy-core.jar on your server . Please check all the FMW s/f installed on your server . One of them is incompatible with OIM 11.1.1.5.0 .
    Are you using BIP 11.1.1.6 by any chance .

  • E recruitment Approval workflow - Inbox issue

    Hi Experts,
    Im working in a  E recruitment module. So we have two systems one is HR system and Second one is E recruitment system. When ever the Candidate requested for the job, the candidate will be processed in E recruitment system and if the candidate is eligible for the job, then he will be hired using HR System.
    My issue is, I have one Approval workflow in the E recruitment module. I get the Approver details from HR System and sending the work item to the Approver's inbox. that is fine.
    But the problem is, E recruitment has separate inbox and the HR System has the separate inbox for the same person. Now the work item reaching the E recruitment inbox. But it should reach the HR system inbox.
    How the approval based workflow's working in E-recruitment module? Is any web service based approval tasks needs to be created or We can use the user decision task to get the approval?
    Please give your valuable suggestions.
    Helps will be highly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Hi Nandini
      If both E-rec and HR system are connected together in landscape. As soon as job rec wf trigger from E-rec system based the logic to determine the approver to get the approver user id. After getting the user id you need to check wheather the approver belongs to which system ie E-rec to HR this can be get by using standard FM passing the userid to the FM it will give the result in which system the user id exist. After that you need the send that work item to the approver. Before sending the work item you need to find all the details in the background method of the workflow. There are standard FM to get the details of the system user id and in which system the user belongs to.
    If you have any help let me know.

  • Calling portal screen from workflow and required two level approvals to approve in portal

    Hello Experts,
    I have a requirement that, I would trigger a process order approval workflow from SRM SUS portal. Agent when he clicks the link in the attached mail, it has to take him to the portal screen to approve and it has to go to next level manager for the approval. Once both the managers approves, the approved quantity should be reflected in the SRM SUS portal for the order.
    I have good experience in SAP WORKFLOWS in ECC. However; I have never worked on workflows through webdynpro and never worked on SRM portals as well.
    Please help me in completing this scenario. I have found the proper button in the portal to trigger the workflow. Please guide me the best approach to design and how should I pass webdynpro application link to agent mail with the parameter Order. and how can i bring the control back to my workflow.

  • Approval workflow for external requirement

    Hi,
    My company already implements Project System and Plant Maintenance, in which we generate PR from those modules, and the PR will be subject to release strategy.
    At the moment we want to implement SRM 7.0 and we're planning to use Plan Driven Procurement scenario for the requirement generated automatically from PS or PM. As we can have a release strategy for PR generated from module PM and PS, can we have approval workflow for external requirement in SRM?
    Josh

    Yes you can but not by standard (Since itu2019s not out of box functionality), on the other hand itu2019s real simple to do an RFC call to your external system and get the agentu2019s information...
    All SRM need is only agent ID (User ID) to which the work item need to be assigned...
    We too have same scenario i.e. business want to use R/3 release group determination which they have already... we implemented it and working real good...
    Let me know if you have any questions...

  • Approval workflow issue

    Hello Friends,
    I have created a simple approval workflow with 2 stages for a document library. User A will approve and then the approval has to go to User B
    User A is receiving a mail and editing the document and saving it. User A then goes to his mail and approves it.
    Now as per the logic, the User B should get an email. But its not happening so.
    Is it something that I'm missing? Or should I include all the users in a single stage?
    The error that I'm getting on the second stage

    Hi Chandra,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you got an error when you ran an approval workflow with two stages.
    I did a testing as the following workflow, everything worked well:
    Please create a new library, and a new workflow as the above, test again, compare the result.
    In addition, as the message, the Approval WF failed to run when the user ID was system account. And by default, system account cannot run workflow automatically. So, please use other users to test, compare the result.

  • Inconstancy in Approval Workflow- Process Controlled Workflow

    Hello Experts,
    We are in SRM 7.0 classic scenario using process controlled workflow and facing an issue as described below:-
    During the approval workflow, we are observing that in
    Case 1: When approver3 is forwarding the work item to approver10, the approver10 in not getting the work item in his Inbox. However, when we see the log detail in SWI6 the status is shown as u201CREADYu201D
    Case 2: We created a shopping cart with identical details as in Case 1 and followed the same approval process i.e.Approver3 forwarding the work item to approver10, however in this case approver10 is getting the work item in his Inbox and when we see the log details in SWI6 the status is shown as u201CCOMPLETED"
    We tried this scenario for 10 times and we found that in 2 cases the approval status is showing as u201CREADYu201D while in other 7 cases the approval workflow got completed.
    Can you all experts please help us understand why this is happening and how can be find the root cause i.e why Case 1 is in u201CREADYu201D status for last 2 days.
    We seek your help in understandingroot cause so that we can eliminate any inconsistency in future.

    Use class /SAPSRM/CL_WF_APV_FACADE. This is used by standard SAP WF Analysis.
    Methods - RETRIEVE_PROCESS_HISTORY, GET_CURRENT_PROCESS_STATE, CREATE_PROCESS_FORECAST.
    To analyze more, check the program /SAPSRM/WF_CFG_ANALYSIS_002. Check lines 209...216 (These Lines pull Previous Approved Steps, Current Process Step & Gets the approval forecast). However the REJECTED Items (Accept Decision) work little different (which is not captured by this report).
    To Identify the current approval process awaiting decision by the requester of the cart, use method GET_CURRENT_PROCESS_STATE, return parameter structure /SAPSRM/S_WF_PROCESS-PROCESS_LEVEL_LIST-DECISIONSET_LIST-ITEM_STATUS_LIST gets you the current status of the item (ACCEPTED, REJECTED, OPEN, INQUIRED). If ITEM_STATUS_LIST-ITEM_STATUS EQ 'REJECTED', then the WF is waiting for acceptance/resubmission from the requester.
    To your specific need, pass DOCUMENT_GUID to the class /SAPSRM/CL_WF_APV_FACADE=>GET_CURRENT_PROCESS_STATE get the return parameter /SAPSRM/S_WF_PROCESS. It will give you PROCESS_LEVEL_LIST. Then loop through DECISIONSET_LIST. It contains Table Types of AGENTS_LIST, ITEM_STATUS_LIST, WORKITEM_LIST. At /SAPSRM/S_WF_PROCESS level, you can get all the details of the current process level details

  • Can i Cannge the WF_INITIATOR for SRM Approval Workflow.

    Hi Experts,
    I am facing issue related to sendor name format.
    Whenever SRM approval workflow gets triggered then corresponding responsible user(Approver) gets a mail in their SAP inbox.
    I checked in the system these workflow runs using RFC_USER user.So approver gets mail with sendor information as RFC_USER i.e.  "Sent: Jun 17, 2011 by RFC_USER, Functional ID "
    My requirement is to replace this RFC_USER with some other generic user.
    Can anybody tell me please how can i achieve this.
    Thanks,

    Usually, if I want to do anything unusual with mails from workflow then I create a step which calls a task which calls a new method of my BOR object which calls fm SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1. In that we can specify Sender name different from WF_BATCH or RFC_USER.
    Check the following Code for sending mail.

  • Imaging Payables Invoices upon Receipt for attachment to approval workflow

    Looking for a solution to image Payable Invoices on receipt. This Invoice image has to flow through the approval workflow as an attachment with the ability to open / print.
    Would appreciate any help you may be able to provide or insight from any experience you might have with similar requirement (Best practices, Issues/challenges, etc). Thanks.

    1) PO approval and invoice approval is independent of each other. You have to have PO approvals. Invoice approvals are optional.
    2) Check ap_wfapproval_history_v and ap_inv_aprvl_hist_all
    Hope this answers your question,

  • 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.
    Award points for helpful answers.

  • Bid Invitation Approval Workflow

    Hi All,
    We are having issues implementing SRM standard bid invitation workflow approval becos of the absence of a web transaction acknowledged by SAP.
    Our implementation requires this functionality, could anyone assist us with a work around, or an alternative solution that can be adopted or customized by us.
    Thanks
    SRM Team Brazil

    Hi Daniel,
    As standard, as of SRM40, there is no approval workflow while creating Bid Invitation. Because of this We gave up on this. You can definitely custom on your own. Our need was similar SC BADI workflow. SRM50 has.
    We did implement worklfows for "Approval of Submitted Bids"
    Can you try with same web transaction assigned to task for "Approval of Submitted Bids" i.e., BBP_QUOT_EXTWF to this TS79007918 and try. Web Transaction is nothing but a Web service attached backend transaction, right. Your case web transaction BBP_QUOT_EXTWF is pointing to Source BBP_BID_INV, Try your luck having done so much and let me know.  
    Thanks,

  • Built in Approval workflow can't send to AD univeral security mail enabled group (email recipient not valid)

    Background: SP2010 SP2 with March 2015 CU installed. Using the built-in Approval - SharePoint 2010 workflow on a library. The Approval workflow does send email to individual users when users are specified in the Approvers field instead of a group. We
    need to use a group. The workflow reports the error email recipients are not valid. I don't see anything in ULS logs. The Exchange server tracking logs do not show the emails to the AD group being processed (no evidence they are even received into Exchange,
    but all other mail from SharePoint goes through, including the workflow's email to the workflow initiator). I can send email to the AD group from Outlook and all group members get it.
    To send Approval workflow email to a mail enabled AD Universal Security group, what
    exactly are the requirements?
    Q1. Does the SharePoint\system account (aka web app pool account) *absolutely* need to have a mailbox?
    If so, I need some clarification. I saw
    http://www.spdev.info/2012/11/using-security-groups-with-workflows.html which was offered as a solution in another post. It says "To allow SharePoint to email the mail enabled security group you need to either create a mailbox for the SharePoint service
    account, or attach the email address provided in the Outbound Email Settings as an additional email alias for a mailbox." Then it says you need to do *both* - create a mailbox for service account *and* add the outbound email settings address as an alias
    in the *service account's* mailbox settings. Well, we can't do the latter. We are using a dedicated AD account with a mailbox for SharePoint mail settings purposes, and no two mailboxes can have the same alias.
    I tried adding the AD account specified in the Reply From: outbound email settings (Reply To: is set to a distribution list) to the AD group's "Message Delivery Restrictions" and UNchecking Require that all senders are authenticated (even
    though the AD account does authenticate). I tried allowing All Senders and UNchecking Require authentication (though that leaves email address open to spammers), but neither worked.
    Q2. Does the AD mail enabled group need to be synchronized via User Profile Sync?
    We currently only sync users. I do see the AD groups (we use AD groups into SharePoint groups security model) in SharePoint's People and Groups, and the mail address for the mail enabled group is *not* present in the properties. Is it a requirement to sync
    the AD groups so that the email address shows in the AD group's properties in SharePoint?
    The AD group is in a SharePoint group with Approve permissions. The individual AD group members are also in another AD group in a SharePoint group with Contribute permissions. I even placed myself in the AD group to test whether permissions issues; I am
    farm admin. All SharePoint groups are set to allow Everyone to read the group's members.
    This is driving me crazy.
    Thanks,
    Joan

    Hello Victoria,
    Thank you. I have an update. I got the workflow working. Turned out to be two separate unrelated issues:
    (1) invalid email address for recipient was because the email address of AD group was not present in SharePoint's properties for group. Also why nothing appeared in Exchange Server tracking logs; the email was never sent from SharePoint. Once this was remedied
    (explained below), the Task Assigned email was sent out to the AD group.
    (2) the Task Assigned email was rejected by Exchange for reason 550 5.7.1 RESOLVER.RST.AuthRequired. The Exchange tracking logs clearly showed this. Setting the AD group's properties Mail Flow Settings, Message Delivery Restrictions to "Only senders
    in the following list: <the domain account of the email address specified in SharePoint outgoing email Reply From setting>" and UNchecking "Require that all senders are authenticated" allowed the Task Assigned email to go through.
    Answer to Q1: It is not required for System account (aka web app pool account) to have a mailbox when the SharePoint outgoing mail settings Reply From email address is of a domain account of the domain SharePoint is in. That is our scenario, as I noted we
    use a domain service account dedicated for SharePoint mail. I can't speak to other scenarios. The Reply To: does not have to be the same email address; we use a distribution list. And, ever paranoid about spamming because of unchecking require autenticated
    senders, I verified that my own account could not send email to the group (Outlook provides message "You do not have permission to send to: <GroupName>").
    Answer to Q2: I did not have to sync groups via User Profile Service. What I did do, however, was remove the AD group from SharePoint, People and Groups, Groups list, and readd it. (Note: what I *literally* did was was remove the SharePoint group from all
    permissions, remove the AD group from the SharePoint group, then remove the AD group from the Groups list, readd the AD group into the SharePoint group, and reassign permissions to the SharePoint group - Read to top-level site, Read to subsite (has unique
    permissions), and Read, Approve to the subsite library with the workflow. In order to start clean. When I readded the AD group to the SharePoint group, it came in with an email address; email address now shows in the group's SharePoint properties. I noticed
    that the format was GroupName instead of Domain\GroupName. (I had originally created the AD group as a Global Security group, added it to a SharePoint group, *then* (after I found out about that requirement when first troubleshooting workflow) converted it
    to Universal and mail enabled it.
    I suppose, would syncing groups would fix this issue of SharePoint not updating AD group changes?
    Additional note: I first gave the AD group Read to the library directly instead of giving Read to the SharePoint group, tried the workflow, and the email was sent. I then removed the AD group's direct permissions to the library and added the SharePoint group
    to the library and that also worked. So I was able to use the AD group in SharePoint group (I had read in one post that would not work).
    Thanks,
    Joan

  • FI Upload file (Approval Workflow)

    Hi All,
    Need some assistance:
    Currently our company has a standard approval workflow built.  So when we receive an invoice without a PO, we manually post the invoice to a GL & Cost Centre.  Once the invoice is coded, It’s then sent to the GL owners to approve using the workflow currently in place.  All this works perfectly fine.
    My issue is FI Upload files……. As Upload files contain several GL accounts – we are currently attaching a manual email approval from the approver to the file upload so the Accounts Payable department could post without any further approvals in Workflow as an email approval is sufficient.
    We would like to build the same workflow approval cycle that we have already in place for Fi Invoices.
    Note – an upload file come in with 10 different GL accounts ( ideally we don’t want to send it to 10 different approvers) as this will slow down the process, so I was wondering if there is a better solution that you could share to eliminate the upload going to 10 approvers.
    Any Suggestions are greatly appreciated.
