PO with status "Deleted" in SRM and status "Awaiting Approval" in BW

Hi,
Report Purchase Order status ( 0BBP_PO_Q007) on ODS 0BBP_PO shows status "Awaiting Approval" for Purchase Orders that have status "Deleted" in the SRM source system.
Any idea about an appropriate OSS note or other work around solution?
Thanks in advance for your replies.

1) The PO data can be extracted from SRM or R/3 . But the advantage of extracting data from R/3 is that you have lot many other data while compared to SRM system . In case u are having SRM and Sap R/3 or ECC as your backend system , it is always better to extract PO data from R/3 or ECC. In case your backend system is going to be other than SAP system , probably we can think of extracting data from SRM.
2) GR and invoice data always have to be pulled from R/3 system
3) Shopping cat details exist only in SRM and the details has to be extracted only from SRM .
Suggest to extract 1) shopping cart from SRM 2) PO,GR and Invoice from SAP R/3 or ECC.
Hope above clarifies your questions

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
Thanks

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?

SC status "Awaiting Approval" - WS10000060 error

Dear colleagues,
We are on SRM 5.0.
We have the following problem:
When creating a Shopping Cart, the status of the SC remains as "Awaiting Approval".
We have only activated Workflow WS10000060 Workflow without approval, and all checks regarding Workflow customizing seem ok.
I have checked transactions indicated in Note 322526 and have not been able to find the origin of the error:
SWU3 seems OK, in SWU0 WS10000060 Workflow Without Approval Shopping Cart appears as succesfully started.
In transaction SWEL i can see no events however, even though the event log is activated.
In SWI1 however I can see the ERROR status of the workflow:
2036     (Sub)workflow     1000000076 Workflow without approval     02.11.2006     16:16:11     WS10000060     Workflow Without Approval Shopping Cart     0     0     ERROR          00:00:00     0          5 Medium     0     2036          0     0                    No Agent Available
The message says "No agent available", but I believe for workflow WS10000060 no agent is needed, right?
I also get the following messages:

Hi,
The workflow WS10000060 is linked to a reviewer workflow WS10000265.
It may be the case that no active versions of this workflow exist in
your system.
In transaction SWDD select other WF-Definition = WS10000265.
This should activate version 0000
- Create new version - (activate version 0001)
- menu Workflow >Activation >Generate and activate runtime version
- Transaction SWUS
Workflow: WS10000265
Click on Button Refresh Organizational Environment
Synchronize the runtime buffers with transaction SWU_OBUF.
Kindly then retest the workflow WS10000265 to see if it is now ok.
You can do this by the following steps :
1. Transaction SWUD
2. enter workflow WS10000265, press enter
3. execute 'Test environment'
4. check 'Including subworkflows'
5. execute 'Consistency check for components'
If there are no errors then please do the same for workflow WS10000060.
If there are no errors for this workflow either then the problem
should be resolved.

The above errors are similar even when we activate other work flows of shopping carts.
It looks

Also note 981295 was verified and is not for our problem.

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.

Does anybody know the place were SRM throws this message?
I want to suppress the message completely.

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.

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

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.__

Blocking the printing and output of documents that are awaiting approval?

Hi,
Is any functionality available that would prevent purchase orders from being 'print previewed' or outputted whilst the document status is either awaiting approval or release rejected?
thanks. Pooja.

hiya,
This BADI seems to be specific to Carts. We want to supress this at PO printing. Please, can BBP_CHANGE_SF_SC be used on PO's?
warmest regards, Pooja.

Add approver when the SC is in Awaiting approval

Hi SDN,
we are using SRM 5.5 system.
When the SC is created the in the BADI - BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI we are finding the manger of the user and sending workflow to that mangaer.
Up to this eery thing is working fine.
But when the SC creater wants to chnage the Approver name in Approver Preview (Add approver) when the SC is in Awaiting approval.
System is allowing us to add APprover here but when i Save the SC system calling the BADI BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI and over righting that manger name with the original manger not with added manger.
Please let me know.
Thanks
Naresh

Once i selected the add approver i can't see this value or capture in any badi.
Can any one know where can i get the added approver details before saving the shopping cart
that mean at run time.

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.
