PO Awaiting Approval After Change

Hi Gurus,
We are on SRM 7.0ehp1 and ECC 6.0.
I'm new to SRM business.
In our case, requirement is created in backend and after approval it is transferred to SRM. RFx is created via sourcing application. After that, PO is created both in SRM system and backend systems using the RFx responses. There is no approval in SRM system.
Our problem is, when we make any change (except adding an internal note from notes and attachment part in header tab ) in PO, its status turns into 'Awaiting Approval' and backend document  is not changed according to this. And after. that i get 'No work item ID provided' error messages when i try to edit the PO.
Thank you very much in advance.

  • SC Status Awaiting Approval

    Hi Experts,
    Our process is Classic Scenario,
    After saving SC ("Order" Button) the status remains Awaiting Approval , and changed to Approved  after few hours, (and then followon documents are created on Backend Sys. )
    Please Advise how to solve this problem? Why it takes so long to the status to be changed?
    Also I have found a message on desktop Workflow Entries in Inbox:
    Error in MW-BDoc-Processing, Type PRODUCT_MAT ID 7BE7E7637BC2FA44A6ABCCCF0B71DE1B

  • Limit PO on approval after any change is going in to Error in process

    Hi,
    We have a problem where one a LIMIT PO is created and ordered and if we make any chnage in the PO the status is changed to Awaiting Approval and on approval, the status is setting as Error in Process (EIP) instead of Ordered.
    Application Monitor show following errors -  The data entered is correct and  have no issues. Not sure wht change is not updating in backend and showing EIP.
    Instance of object type PurchaseOrder c ould not be changed   
    Purchase order still contains faulty items   
    In case of account assignment, please enter acc. a ssignment data for item   
    PurchOrder Transfer failed
    This is issue is coming after applying SP 15
    Thanks,
    Piusha

    Hello,
    We have recently patched our ERP system to SP 18 and SRM is on SP 15 and we are experiencing a similar issue, although our issue is with using statistical order codes linked to cost centres on normal orders not limit orders which are not transferring to the backend correctly. 
    I have a high priority OSS call open with SAP and as of yet haven't had a response, I suspect they are looking into a note.
    Before finding this issue, we had an issue with General Ledger codes not transferring to the backend from SRM, SAP advised they had changed the BAPI_PO_CREATE1 to bring it into line with ME21N.
    In doing so, it resulted in us needing to change our config and apply various notes, some of the notes below may be of use to you:
    1464524
    1507715
    1549597
    1487572
    It is possible all of these issues are linked to the BAPI change but I am waiting for SAP to get back to me to see if it is.
    I also have another issue, again in the monitors I have the error:
    PurchOrder : Purchase order still contains faulty items  
    PurchOrder : Sum of quantities >2< larger than total quantity  
    PurchOrder : Transfer failed  
    Have any of you got this issue and able to provide any information? I'm continuing to investigate but I think I may need to raise another OSS message as I can not see anything wrong with the purchase orders.
    Thanks in advance

  • Shopping cart status showing as Awaiting Approval even after Rejection.

    Hi All,
    We are on SRM 5.0 .After rejection of shopping cart , if the requestor checks the staus of shopping cart in Check Status link , it is showing as 'In Your Inbox' which i believe is correct but the status for this object id is still Awaiting Approval in transcation BBP_PD.
    Why is the status not geting updated in transcation BBP_PD?
    Regards,
    Anubhav

    Hi,
    One more strange thing is that there are some shopping carts with status
    Stats:
               Status         Description                    Inactiv
    HEADER     I1015          Awaiting Approval              X
    HEADER     I1016          Release Rejected
    HEADER     I1021          Created
    HEADER     I1038          Complete
    HEADER     I1106          Shopping cart ordered
    But these are very old.
    All the shopping carts that were rejected in recent times are..
    Stats:
               Status         Description                    Inactiv
    HEADER     I1015          Awaiting Approval
    HEADER     I1021          Created
    HEADER     I1038          Complete
    HEADER     I1106          Shopping cart ordered
    But I have never seen the Accept Changes button in my system , so howcome the old shopping carts have status Release Rejected?

  • Message "Purchase Order Changes are awaiting approval"

    Hi all,
    while changing a PO document which is in status "in Approval", SRM (5.0) throws a popup message:
    "The Purchase Order Changes are awaiting approval, Continue processing?"
    Does anybody know the place were SRM throws this message?
    I want to suppress the message completely.
    I can`t find the message within table t100.
    Any ideas?

  • Buyer change the PO line items and end up with Awaiting Approval status.

    Can you please help to look into this issue.
    1.Buyer change the PO line items and end up with Awaiting Approval status.
    2. But user claim that she got enough limit and should not route to her manager's approval. Also check with her manager and this PO do not exist his queue.
    Any clue or tips on how to investigate on this issue. All your tips are appreciated,
    -Rick

    You cannot change these POs because their changed version has status
    'Deleted'. My proposal to fix them will be the following:
    You will have to set changed version as closed(DOC_CLOSED set to X)
    and in active version set DOC_CLOSED to space.
    __-For the above statement, Can you guys please let me know, which table DOC_CLOSED belongs to and what are the steps to do this, as i come from a functional back ground.__

  • Change Shopping Cart in status "Awaiting Approval"?

    Hi there,
    Quick question: Should a user be able to change thier shopping cart if it is still in "Awaiting Approval"? It would seem like a logical thing for the user to be able to change the quantity, date etc of the item before it is approved?
    I have been looking at template SAPLBBP_SC_UI_ITS 120 and it seems SAP standard prevents this?
    How would I allow users to be able to change shopping carts in awaiting approval state?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks

  • Purchase order in 'awaiting approval' status but no approval required

    Hi
    I am using SRM 4.0 SP 13. There is a purchase order which shows that no approval is required in the approval tab, but the overall status is 'awaiting approval'. Please can you advise if this is a Support pack issue? I have checked the workflow WS14000075 which is active.
    Regards
    Rajeev

    Hi
    You would need to check if the workflow has been able to release the PO properly. Only after successful release completion by workflow, PO status gets changed to ordered from awaiting approval. Check the workflow log to see if there are any errors. Use txn-SWI1 or SWI6 to go into workflow log. Also reactive your workflow WS14000075 using txn swdd and try creating new PO.

  • SRM contract in awaiting approval state

    Hi Gurus,
    We are facing an issue where srm contract is approved via a n step badi workflow. But even after completion of workflow the document remains in awaiting approval state.
    The step which sets the document status to released status is called in background step in workflow.
    If we examine the workflow logs they indicate the successful execution of this release step without any error.
    However document is not released.
    On further investigation we found that if the business partners who are present in active version and who have got expired at the time of creation of change version causes this to happnen.
    Presently we have a workaround by which we replace the expired business partner with a new business partner in active version and then release the change version.
    However to develop a permanent fix we are not able to replicate this scenario in our system.
    Kindly provide your guidance on this issue.
    Regards,
    Rohit

    Hi Rohit
    you have a root cause of this problem
    On further investigation we found that if the business partners who are present in active version and who have got expired at the time of creation of change version causes this to happnen.
    for testing purpose you can delete this test user or ask basis person to inactivate this user .
    1. create a GOA by test user19 buyer1)
    2. Approve a GOA by test manager1
    3. now delete user1 or inactivate the user1 id BY CHANGING THE VALIDIDTY DATE OF THE USER .
    4. revise the GOA by user2 (buyer2) and approve it . will you recreate the same /
    RELEASED AT TOP BUT CHANGE VERSION AWAITING FOR APPROVAL IN THE APPROVAL PREVIEW.
    if your analysis is true. it is your wonderful investigation.

  • Settings to recall shopping cart when awaiting approval

    Hello
    We are on SRM 7.0.
    In SRM 7.0 when SC is in awaiting approval and requestor press edit then shopping cart can be recalled. What are the settings / sap note required for this.
    Thanks,
    Ashish

    Hi
    Are you a creator of shopping cart and trying to edit the cart while awaiting for approval ?
    or
    some once created and are you trying to edit the cart in awaiting for approval?
    what is your SP ?
    Note 1491389 - Monitor SC:delete shopping carts in status awaiting approval
    You as an administrator go to Monitor shopping cart transaction and select a shopping cart which has status 'Awaiting approval'. When you try to 'Delete' the cart, system throws an error 'Change mode only possible after recall'
    Other terms
    CANCEL_PROCESS_FOR_RESTART /SAPSRM/IF_CLL_MMS_SC~DELETE BBP_MON_SC 'Process controlled workflow'
    Reason and Prerequisites
    If the system is using process controlled workflow, the workflow has to be recalled prior to the deletion of the cart.

  • PO status always remains "AWAITING APPROVAL" - WF error

    Hi all,
    We are working on SRM 5.0 SP13 ,ECS.
    We have implemented the workflow WS14000145 for PO approval.Now when I perform a consistency check at SWUD for WFL  WS14000145,I get the foll errors:
    E.     WS14000146     POSub.n-Step Subworkflow N-Step for PO (BADI)
           I WD:017 No start events or start transactions/forms
           I WD:019 Container element ExcludedAgents is not used

    E.     BUS2201                        REJECTED
           Binding warnings
           E SW:084 The object categories 'BO' (source) and 'CL' (target) ar
    How do I correct the above errors for the workflow?
    Also because of the above WF errors,I am unable to close some of the PO's .When I try to close the PO's(by checking the indicators "No further confirmations expected " and  "No further invoices expected " under Item data-->statistics),the indicators remain checked but the PO status always remains "AWAITING APPROVAL".When I click on the approval preview(graphical view),I see message "Error .click for details" and under table view ,I see "NO APPROVAL REQUIRED".
    In order to close the above PO's,is there any workaround or other way I can change the status of the PO temporarily to atleast be able to close the PO's?
    Please advise.

    Thanks Muthu!The note does seem relevant but I am still confused due to a new observation
    Another observation :
    The WF for PO approval is actually not activated in our system which means that this issue is not related to workflow .Additionally ,now I see some errors in the backend application monitor stating that "PO backend Transfer failed".
    So as Masa mentioned earlier,this issue could be more related to PO replication.I tried all ways to update the status for the PO and observed the foll:
    1. After running SW01,for the changed/latest  GUID of the PO,the PO header status did change to "ORDERED" but then under Item data-->statistics the indicator for confirmation was reset.When I tried to chekc the indicator to again close the PO,the PO header status again changed to "Awaiting Approval".
    2. Using FM  SWW_DLEETE_ITEM,deleted the work item(old) for the PO and tried to chnage the status as mentioned above.But the issue still remained.
    3.Tried to make the status "AWAITING APPROVAL" inactive by using FM "CRM_STATUS_UPDATE" but no success.In BBP_PD,the document status was updated(Awaiting approval inactive checked) but in the web portal,Under "Process Purcahse order" transaction,the PO header status still showed as "AWAITING APPROVAL"..
    Please advise.

  • Contract status expired instead of awaiting approval

    Hi Experts,
    We are getting contract status "Expired" instead of Awaiting Approval. After contract is approved, we get correct status "Released". Please advise what could be the cause.
    Regards,
    Raj

    Hello,
    Actually, system behaves in the following way:
    - A shopping cart is created and goes to approval;
    - Approver rejects the cart and the workitem is send back to requester inbox in order to accept the rejection or change the cart and resubmit it to approbation;
    - If requester checks the cart (Inbox or BBPSC04), its header status will be "In your inbox";
    - If someone (administrator, for example), checks the cart via BBP_MON_SC transaction (Monitor Shopping Cart) before the requester acceptance/changes, the shopping cart status will be "Awaiting approval", since the cart is still in approbation process.
    I hope this information helps.
    Kind regards,
    Ricardo

  • Issue: Deleted PO Awaiting Approval

    Hello, I'm having issue with a PO which was marked for Deletion..
    In SRM the PO has status Awaiting Approval and in EBP checking the Purchase with transaction bbp_pd, the ultimate change version has the awaiting approval item in blue color.
    Anyone knows how to put a PO deleted into Ordered status?

    Hi,
    Pleaes check once again if the PO is approved,  check in inbox of the approver.
    if it is already approved and still awaiting approval.
    manually we can set the workflow status complete using the funcaiton module
    SE37--> execute the FM   BBP_PD_PO_STATUS_CHANGE_WF
    IV_GUID        --  enter the GUID  of the PO
    IV_STATUS  -- 1
    Execute .. Hope your problem will solve

  • WorkFlow - WS10000276: Shopping cart is hanging with "Awaiting Approval'

    Hi,
    We are SRM 4.0 (SRM_SERVER 5.0) SP 8 (SAPKIBKS08).
    We have only WS10000276 active in the system. The User orders the SC. SC goes to the approver (mentioned in attribute SLAPPROVER).
    Approver changes the quantity in the SC and saves. SC comes back to user for accepting changes. User accepts changes, but the SC shows status "Awaiting approval" and hangs.
    Transaction SWI1 shows only upto the step where mail notification has been sent to the user informing him that the approver has changed the contents of the SC.
    We had applied SAP note 948733 as per SAP instructions but this has not worked.
    Has anyone faced a similar situation? Any recommendations?

  • SRM 5.0 Confirmation in Awaiting Approval Status

    We have the confirmations in "Awaiting Approval" status.
    I had checked the following steps but still the status remains as-is.
    1. Transaction SWUD
    2. Enter workflow WS10400010, press enter
    3. Execute 'Test environment'
    4. Check 'Including subworkflows'
    5. Execute 'Consistency check for components'
    There are no errors for BUS2203 (Confirmation business object).
    I have cross checked the BUS2203 for WS10400010 Active Status is both T-Codes SWETYPV and SWE2.
    We had a previous issue of BUS2203 with some errors and that went away after following steps in OSS Note and SDN comments. Note 962488 - "Workflow definition '&' not in version '&' (WD 401) and SDN.
    WS10400010 is No Approval Workflow for confirmations that is active and classified as General Task.
    Can you please advise on this status issue?

    Please analyse the Workflow log from SWI2_FREQ. I think you can check this issue in SRM forum. I think this is discussed.
    Thanks
