It is defined in customizing which workflow is triggered during release of purchasing documents.
SAP provides a simple workflow for this purpose:

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.

How to troubleshoot approval workflow of a rejected purchase order

Hi,
We are working in oracle applications 11i.
I have a purchase order with status rejected that has hanged up in the system. The user rejected PO and the document has not been transferred to the PO buyer. From the application forms -> Forward documents window, I can see that neither the user who rejected or the buyer has the document.
From System Administrator responsibility I can see that the workflow administrator can modify a PO that is only IN PROCESS,
what shall I do?

Need Sales Order Approval Workflow upto two level

Hi All,
I am new user of sdn and also in workflow.I want to create a workflow to approve a sales order upto two level of approval.
Is there any standard workflow available for this?or any standard task to approve sales order.Please help.

Hi Abhijit,
Thanks for your assistance.
Actually what I need is to build a workflow which will be triggered whenever a Sales Order is created by some user.First the workflow will check if the sales order value is greater than Rs.10,000 or not.If yes it will go for the first level of approval to authority1 if not it simply complete the workflow.If authority1 approve the workflow it will go to authority2 for second level of approval.If authority1 reject that it will go back to the sales order creater to change it or he simply complete the workflow.If he choose change then it will again go for the first level of approval to authority1.If authority1 approve the sales order then it will go to the authority2 for second level of approval.If authority 2 approves it the sales order will be finally approved else it will return back to the creater to change or withdraw.
I think you have understood what I want.Waiting for your reply.

Approval workflow for creation of organization

Hi,
I need to configure an approval workflow for the creation of organization. When the admin tries to create a new org, the approval should go to a admin group. The org should get created only once approval is done. I have configured an approval workflow for the Xellerate Organization resource object. I have created an unconditional task where the assignment tab has the admin group. When I test it, the org gets created without going through the approval process. Could someone please tell me what am I missing?
Thanks,
Supreetha
Edited by: Supreetha on Jan 22, 2011 8:38 AM

You'll have to raise request for Dummy Organization. It's Order for Organization so will not appear for user.
I am not sure the full flow/complete requirement of your.
APMU, you want approval while creating Organization into OIM.
This is not possible OOTb when you create ORg in OIM.
You'll create 1 dummy Org
1 Dummy RO "OFO".
Attach one Object Form with this RO.
Raise request for Dummy Org and Give the name of Org on the object form for which you want approval.
In the provisioning workflow, use OIM API to create Org into OIM.
Done !!!

Cost Approval workflow in Project Server (PWA) 2013

Dear All,
Is there any automation through which we can build some kind of Approval stages in PWA 2013 (Project Server) so that if any Manager wants to get approval on PO(Purchase Order) or some kind of approval related to Cost then it should flow in PWA?

Hi,
Just to clarify, are you looking to create a project in PWA once a PO has been approved? If that's the case you can use the 'Create Projects' option available in Project Server 2013. Also you can create the projects through the SharePoint workflows
Details can be found here:

New FIM Portal User Approval Workflow

Hi,
If someone creates a new user via the FIM Portal, can this go through a typical FIM Approval workflow before the user is provisioned to other target systems like for example AD?
How would you actually do this?
thanks,
sk

You can use the OOTB approval workflows. In short:
- Create a set of "requestors"
- Create an AuthZ workflow using the OOTB approval activity
- Create a Request MPR, that gives the requestors from step one permissions to create resource. Your target after request would be something like "All Active People". Lastly, trigger your AuthZ workflow you created in step two in order to kick off the approval
process

Problems with Auto approval workflow (WS 10000060) for shopping carts

Hi SAP Network community,
I have got a problem with the auto approval workflow for shopping carts.
Basically the workflow approves the shopping cart once it was created.
But then the related Purchase Order remains in Status held. If the PO gets ordered manually then it is not transferred to the R/3 backend system.
For testing purposes also the one step approval workflow was activated. If the shopping cart gets approved by clicking into the detail approval screen (not by approving through the green tick box in the shopping cart overview) then the PO gets ordered and transferred to the backend system as normal.
But if the shopping cart gets approved by using the green tick box in the shopping cart overview then the same problem occurs as described for the auto approval workflow.
The system version is SRM 4.00
Did anybody have the same or similar problems with the auto approval workflow and what could be the reason for this problems.
Thanks in advance,
Robert

Hi
Which SRM Workflow Scenario are you using (IS it Item level workflow or Shopping cart level Workflow) ?
Are you using customized SRM Business workflow or Standard SRM Workflow ?
Please go through these links as well.

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

JV Approval Workflow

Dear Experts,
I need to create Appproval workflow for Journal Voucher. I had gone through the docuemnts in SPRO - financial accounting - tools - workflows.
I have created a small custom workflow with FIPP - Completed as triggering event. But i feel we can use the std workflow template provided by SAP, but dont know which one to select and how to proceed. If anyone has information, please guide me.
Any kind of help is highly appreciated.
Regards,
Lakshmi

Hi Lakshmi,
I am having a challenge with JV approval workflow myself and I'm wondering if you can help. Essentially, I need users to be able to post JVs below the threshold amount, and park (send for release) ones above the threshold. I just posted a note, the contents of which are copied below. Any guidance you can provide would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Kathryn
Our objective is to have senior accounting personnel approve/release journal entries that exceed a certain value, say $100,000. We have configured the release function for parked documents, using workflow WS10000051 with business object 'FIPP', event "COMPLETED" and release amount of $100,000. However, this appears to assume that staff have authorization only for parking, because if you have posting authorization, nothing stops you from posting a document over $100,000. It seems illogical that you have to exceed a certain $ value before the release will trigger, but if your document is below the amount, you can't post it because you can only park.
In order to avoid making approvers release every single journal entry, what we want is for users to be able to post any document below $100,000.00, but be forced to park ( save as completed) all documents >/= this limit. We tried setting up a validation on the document amount, but the error message forces us to exit completely, i.e. doesn't allow us to park the document.
Is there perhaps a different workflow that triggers at the point of posting, rather than parking, that will accomplish what we want?
Thanks,
Kathryn

Workflow for Sales Order Release via Status Profile

Dear all,
i want to make a workflow for sales order which have 4 User Status in One status profile.
Once Event triggered for sales order
1.   Mail should go to main authority with sales order number.
2. Once authority will do some changes in the required field then he/she changes
     the user status-1 from defauts as per line Item and mail should go to department no-1 (Head authority).
3. Once again same changes in sales order but now user status-2 from user status-1
     as per line Item and mail should go to department no-2 (Head authority).
4. Once again same changes in sales order but now user status-3 from user status-2
     as per line Item and mail should go to department no-3 (Head authority).
5. Once again same changes in sales order but now user status-4 from user status-3
     as per line Item and mail should go to department no-4 (Head authority) .
and parrally for each changes of Status mail should also go to User (Event Creator).
6. Finally mail sholud go to User as you are permitted to do next business transaction for this sales order
Please tel me the process as i am very new this topic and i am always going to stuck in Binding.
please help me out.
Thank You

Hi Neeraj,
First of all start with SWELS and SWEL T-Code to check if any standard event is getting triggered or not. If event is getting triggered, then use the same event to trigger the workflow; otherwise create a custom event of BO and use the same to trigger the workflow.
Hope you are aware of T-Code SWO1 and delegation of BO. The BO used for your requirement will be BUS2000115.
As you want the workflow to get triggered only for one status profile and one of its status, so use check function module. There set the condition for you status profile and status.
The FM which you will be using the most is CRM_ORDER_READ. To read the status, you can also use CRM_STATUS_READ_OW.
Now simply make the approval steps in the workflow using activity. In the activity, you can use the standard method USERSTATUSPOPUP to send the workitem for approval. In each step use the same activity with different agents as approvers.
Just go with these things and let me know if you get stuck up somewhere.

Guddan

In search of assistance learning how to modify the mail message from an out of the box SP2010 approval workflow.

So, I have found the article
http://punaro.com/2012/01/derek/modifying-a-sharepoint-2010-workflow-email/comment-page-1/ which appears to walk through the process of modifying an out of the box workflow's mail message.
However, there is a basic problem that I run into before I get started.
I am logged into the system as a regular user (ie not a farm admin, etc.).
I do, however, have full control on the site on which I am working.
I create a custom list.
I create a simple one step approval - sharepoint 2010 out of the box workflow.
I start SharePoint designer and give it the URL of the list. It opens up and I see the various objects on the left side of the screen.
I click right on the Workflows object - which is where the article says I will find the ability to copy and modify the workflow.
All I see is "open", "open in a new tab" and "Pin".
I selecdt open in a new tab - and I get a blank screen labeled workflows that says "There are no items to show in this view".
So, I click on Lists and Libraries, then on the name of my custom list.
When the list displays, the Workflows section of the page has a "Modified Workflow" displayed.
When I right click on it, no menu is shown. When I click on the modified workflow, I get the workflow settings page for that workflow.
I am trying to figure out how to create the copy of the workflow so that I can modify one of the mail messages in SharePoint designer.
Is there someone who has some advice on how to find this copy and modify option? Or perhaps a web site, web forum, article series, or book covering the topic?
Thank you!

Hi lwvirden,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to modify the OOB approval workflow in SharePoint Designer.
After opening the site in SharePoint Designer, just click Workflows in the left panel and then the workflows in the site will load in the right part.
If you want to copy and modify the OOB approval workflow, then you need to right the approval workflow
Approval – SharePoint 2010 under Globally Reusable Workflow. After that you will see the
Copy and Modify button.
Best regards.
Thanks
