PO awaiting approval - even if it is approved

the PO was still in awaiting approval but it is already approved. I ran the PO at SE37 BBP_PD_PO_TRANSFER_EXEC & BBP_PD_PO_TRANSFER_EXEC_V2 but it is still on awaitng approval status. There's no error appearing at the application monitor.

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
Thanks

Could you suggest what could be possible other reason.

Approval Preview (Only first approver is displayed after 1 approval step)

Hello Everyone!
We have a scenario in PROD wherein the approval preview doesn't show all approvers in the screen. At first, when the Contract document is prepared (not yet approved/created) and then the approval preview is displayed, the screen correctly shows the 3 approvers with status 'To be approved by'. However, when the document was created and that the first approver already approved the document, the approval preview only shows 1 approver line in the approval preview (table) with a status 'Approved by'. The next 2 approvers are not displayed in the screen.
When we checked the document in BBP_PD and in SWI1, the workflow correctly identified the next approvers and even sent some notifications for them to approve. This is more on the screen problem. The approval preview (table) only shows the 1st approver who approved the document. We want to see all the approvers (with different status) in the approval preview so that we may know who already approved the document and who are the ones to still approve the document.
We only experience this in PRD, and this scenario (document) works both in DEV and QAS. Please let us know the SAP Notes related to this. The affected documents are Contract and PO.
Thanks and regards,
Reymar

Hi Masa,
There were no applied notes related to approval preview (table) in DEV and QAS system.
We have SRM 5.0 component version; SRM Server 5.50 ; SP13.
Would you know any cause of this issue?
Thank you very much.

Hi Marlene,
Thank you very much for your suggestions.
But I am not creating a custom workflow in designer as Laura has mentioned. I am instead trying to create a new Out of the box Approval Workflow and I get the error mentioned above.
As it works in other environment, I tried figuring out the possible differences which can lead to this error.
Today I found one difference which is there are no form Templates within Infopath Configurations in Central Admin. Now I am trying to figure out what makes this form templates to be added to the template gallery.

Shopping Cart change by approver is not updating in approval preview screen

We are using SRM 4.0 in ECS and have been noticing a problem with the approval preview on the shopping cart when the shopping cart is changed or rejected by one of the added approvers.
The shopping cart was created with multiple line items for materials and when the shopping cart was ordered it workflowed to the 1st approver that was added. He noticed that a price was wrong on one of the line items of the shopping and proceeded to change it and then approved the SC. The approval preview screen in the SC shows that it was approved but the preview does not show that it was forwarded to the next approver listed on the preview screen. However checking in the backend I'm showing the SC sitting in the inbox of the next approver stating: Your shopping cart 'MD D&C LL1 dvf Vetco-Subsea Wellhead Eq' was changed/rejected in part. Please check.
Why isn't the approval preview updating when the SC is rejected or changed?

hi,
This behaviour of the system is as follows , when the first approvers makes the changes and then approves the cart , it will go to the requestor of the shopping cart , and wether the workflow should restart --->
depends on the security level of the approver who is changing the cart -->
you can find the security level of the approver --> in the transaction SU01 ---> persononalization tab ---> key bbp_wfl_security
and the text you have mentioned --->
Your shopping cart 'MD D&C LL1 dvf Vetco-Subsea Wellhead Eq' was changed/rejected in part
this is for the requestor of the cart ---> this is mail which specifies that the first approver has partially approved the cart.

GL Journal approval- Send notification to multiple approver

Hello
I want to send GL journal approval notification to multiple approver, once any of the approver approves the journal it should be removed from worklist of all approver. How can we acheive this?
Pls help
Thanks
Avalon

Hi
What i am sure of is that you can have specific groups for your journal approval and each of the groups can have specific approvers.
When i say the above line, i mean that you can have groups like Treasury, Finance and Payroll and each of them have their desiganated approvers.
Then the level of journal preparer who can also fall to a specific group.
Once the journal preparer belonging to a specific group prepares a journal, it will route to the journal approver belonging to the specific group.
I am not sure about whether you can create approval groups and also if you send the journal for approver to multiple approver, than how the other approver will come to know that the journal is approved or rejected or whether has the other person taken any action - it will create dependencies between the 2 person and hence might create confusion.
So i am not sure about the resolution for your question.
But if the approach suggested by me matches your requirement, i can forward you the document which contains the step you need to do to achieve the functionality,
Hope this helps.
Thanks and Regards

New determination of approver in 1-step SC approval WF

Hi Folks,
Could any guide me in the bedst way to chnage the approver i 1-step SC approval WS10000129.
I do not want it to be tha manager, but rather the person(s) with the relation Z08 (Approver).
I want to make sure that all the standard functionality remains in the WF, or the copy of the standard WF (WS10000129).
Any advice?
Thanks in advance,
Thomas

Hi Folks,
I've done this and the agent determination works just fine
My problem is now that I've made a copy of WS10000129 to my own 91300xxx.
I've replaced the ASBMANAGER with my own BUS-Object ZASBMAN for container Agent_0001.
When I create a shopping cart, and goes to the approval preview, I'm not able to replace the selected agent. in fact the change button does not appear at all
Any ideas??
Thanks in advance,
Thomas

Approval Workflow - How to stop Approval Process after one Approve?

I currently have a approval workflow for announcements. There are two approvers assigned to the workflow with the serial setting. How do I end the approval work process after one of the two persons approve? Currently, if one person approves, I have a "In
Progress" status under the status column.
Here is the text-based editor view of my workflow:
f Current Item:Body not equals Current Item:PriorBody
Start Approval process on Current Item with User1; User2
Else if Current Item:PriorWorkflow equals Approved
Set workflow status to Approved
If Current Item:PriorWorkflow equals Rejected
Set workflow status to Rejected
Any tips are welcomed. I have found that Nintex released a workflow that addresses this, but I would like to work around that if possible.

Hi David,
Yes, I created the workflow based on SharePoint 2013 Workflow platform. You can have a look at the screenshoot:
Thanks,
Eric

Quick / Direct Approval not possible for Bid Approval

Dear Friends,
The Direct Approval/Rejection buttons are disabbled while approving Bid in managers Approval inbox.
Is this a standard functionality? that the manager has to get in the Bid details and then Approve or Reject the Bid.
However the same manager can approve Shopping Cart by just pressing Direct Approval / Rejection button in the Approval Tab list.
Regards,
Sandeep Parab

Hi,
Just go in tcode SWL1.There for the BID approval task(see the task no in the worklfow) maintain the entry for Attributes EC_DECISION and EC_MAIL and then the icons will appear.

"Next Approver" (Next Approver 2) on AP Invoice Approval

Dear all,
I am working on Oracle Applications 11.5.10.2. My client reported 2 problems on approving invoices and select next approver by approver 1:
1. No default value (Approver 2) is available at Notification when Approver 1 approves the first invoice in that session;
2. If Approver 1 approves invoices through "To Do Notification", then the selected approver will be the default value for the upcoming approval notifications if they are viewed through "To Do Notification". However, the same won't happen if the notification is opened through "Worklist"?
Do anyone have idea on the above?
Thanks a lot!
Regards,
Alex

Many thanks for trying, but this applies to AR - my problem is with AP workflow.
regards,
Robert.

Looks like it was set up correctly.

Approver to be able to approve backdated SC's

Hello All,
We are running on SRM 4.0(classic scenario).
My reqt is that when approving backdated SC's,in the std functionlaity the system doesnt allow the Approver to approve teh Backdated SC's but when he changes the date and tries to approve ,he is able to approve the SC,i need to allow the approver to able to approve the Backdated SC's also since in our scenario,the approver will most of the times approve the SC 1 day after the SC has been created.(Escalation procedure is not preferred as tehe time limit is not definate).
Regards,
Disha.

Hi Yann,
Actually now i am facing 1 more problem that by changing the message type,the requisitioner is now able to change the "Required Date" also while adding the items to the SC.....
I dont want that any requsitioner should be able to change the "Required date" but yes approvers should be able to approve the Backdated SC's.
Will this require any development?
Regards,
Disha.
