PO change rejection by approver

Hi Gurus,
We're currently in SRM 5.0 and I have 2 requirements:
1. When approver rejects the PO changes by buyer, there should be a workitem going back to buyer and buyer should be able to see rejection reason.
2. When buyer changes PO and sends approval, there should be another workitem to buyer where he can cancel the approval in case that he wants to cancel the changes.
I tested and found out that the above are not part of standard process and flow (normal is when approver rejects, the workitem immediately completes with 'rejected' status). Is there a configuration to achieve this? Or there's really a need to change copy standard workflow template and modify it?
Thanks.
Ray

Hi,
You have to set up Authorizational level of the user in transaction SUO1 'personalization' tab.
BBP_WFL_SECURITY double click and set Authorization level for authorization
HIGH       ' Workflow never restarted when changes are made '
MEDIUM ' Workflow restarted conditionllly when changes are made'
LOW      ' Workflow always restarted when changes are made'
NONE   ' changes to the object are not allowed '
Hope it could be solve ur problem
Thanks

Sales Order rejected or approval

Hi,
How to reject or approval process automatically when i am creating the sales order after entering the material and qty, and also this should not reflect in MRP requirement MD04.
regards
Ravi

Rejecting Items in a Sales Order
You can enter a reason for rejection for one or more items. These items are then not copied into the subsequent documents. If you reject an item in a sales document, the system automatically cancels any materials planning requirements (MRP) previously generated for the item.
You must be in the change mode for a sales document.
Procedure
You can either reject the whole sales document or individual items.
Reject all items:
1.If you want to reject all the items, choose Reject document in the change modus for the sales document.
The system automatically selects all the items and you can enter a reason for rejection in the following dialog box.
2.Enter the appropriate reason for rejection and choose Copy.
The system assigns the same reason for rejection to all the selected items.
Reject individual items:
1.If you only want to reject some of the items, select those items in the item overview screen and choose Edit >Fast change of... > Reason for rejection.
A dialog box appears in which you can enter the appropriate reason for rejection.
2.Enter the appropriate reason for rejection and choose Copy.
The system assigns the same reason for rejection to all the selected items.
Reject individual items with different reasons of rejection:
If you want to enter different reasons for rejection for the items, choose the Reason for rejection tab page from the overview screen when changing the sales document.
You can enter a different reason for rejection for each item in the Reason for rejection field.

Change Rejected Shopping Cart

Hi,
One of the users has created a shopping cart and the Approver has Rejected the Shopping Cart. The User is having BBP_WFL_SECURITY attributed value to LOW.
The Rejected Shopping Cart Status at header Level is Shoing as Awaiting Approval and at Item level it is showing as Rejected.
When the User Clicks on the Item Details they are able to see the Change Button and when they are trying to change the Shopping Cart they should be able to change the Quantity, Price, Required On date which is not happening.
Here are my questions
1. Why the Rejected Shopping Cart Header Status is shown as Awaiting Approval even thought it is rejected by approver?
2. When ever the user is trying to change the Rejected Shopping Cart why is it not allwoing them to do the same?
Is there anything that needs to be looked out apart from the BBP_WFL_SECUR_BADI(this is inactive)?
Regards,
Satya

Hi,
I guess the task is not general task.
Please find the task ID( like TS10407972) and open it in transaction PFTC.
Menu Additional Data -> Agent Assignment -> Display
If the task is not general task, please set it as general task.
The system admin can handle the workitem already created with no agent.
Go to transaction SWI2_ADM1 and forward the workitem to responsible person.

Reject or Approve

Hi,
I am working on a MSS (Special Payment), initiator starts the request and hit Check and Send button, this will trigger Do-Operation method in the badi. The request can be submitted in next page if no error occurred.
During Approver stage -
Approver can either reject or approve, I noticed that when approver hit the reject or approve button, it doesn't trigger the same method anymore.
Please advice why the Reject button is not configured to trigger Do-Operation method in the badi but Check and Send button is?
Thanks
Regards,
Justin

Hi Kevin,
Not a problem. Thanks for all the replies.
I knew that method (IF_HRASR00GEN_SERVICE~GET_SPECIAL_FIELDS) will be called when the REJECT button is hit.
But this method is originally empty with no code, I am wondering whether I can add some code over here like below:
CALL METHOD me->IF_HRASR00GEN_SERVICE~DO_OPERATIONS
          EXPORTING
            special_fields   = special_fields
            SERVICE_OPERATIONS = SERVICE_OPERATIONS
            no_auth_check    = no_auth_check
            message_handler = message_handler
          CHANGING
            help_datasets    = relevant_help_datasets
            SERVICE_DATASETS = relevant_service_datasets.
I am not sure how to use the "Call method me->",
I am still figuring out what values to be passed into the DO_OPERATION method. When the code runs into that method, I wish that I can use "If formscenario_stage = Approve" and "processing_status = reject" then_ do the comment field validation in the method.
Thanks

Justin

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?
Thanks

Rejecting a Pending document Versus Rejecting an Approved document

I have Enterprise Wiki site collection which contains a document library.I have set the following settings for the document library:-
Require content approval for submitted items? >>> Set to Yes
Who should see draft items in this document library? >>> Only users who can approve items (and the author of the item)
Now I find that SP will implement these two misleading scenarios:-
If user with "Approve" permission reject an Approved version, then users with Read permission will get this message when they try to read the document:-
Sorry, this site hasn't been shared with you.
While If user with "Approve" permission reject Pending version , then users with Read permission will be able to see the latest approved version of the document.
So I have these two questions:-
Why SP is implementing these two different scenarios?
Is there a way to force my document library to always display the latest approved version of the document , when rejecting Approved or Pending versions?
Thanks

Content approval is for approve/reject minor version. If you always need to show last major version then turn off content approval, then viewer (read only) user will see last major version.
I will suggest you to use publishing infrastructure rather than content approval.
refer - Enable publishing features
please "Propose as answer" if it help you, also Vote This As Helpful if like this post.
no i can define Content Approval for major version, here is the screen for version settings inside my document library:-
if i turn content approval off, then there will not be Pending documents , and if a user edit a document , then the document status is always be Approved ... However i want to have Pending status, and if a user Reject a document (either Approved or Pending)
then to force the document library to always display the latest approved version.... currently if the user reject an Approved version users will receive the following message when they try to read the document "Sorry, this site hasn't been shared with
you." ,,

RE: To change the invoice approver in the PO

If you want to change the invoice approver in the PO it is possible to change it by putting a e-mail address direct in - the search field with the field glass is not working. It brings no values if you put a name in
Thanks
Madhav

Auth check to who can change the defaulted approver

Hi Folks,
I have a scenario where I do not want the SC creater to be able to change the defaulted approver.
I this done by a special auth. object. or anything like that?
Thanks in advance,
Thomas Midtboell

Hi
Do you mean default approver change during shopping cart creation?
Standard SAP SRM by default doesnot have 'Change Approver' button activated for shopping cart creator.
In your case if you find this active, then you can deactivate this using BADI 'BBP_CHNG_AGNT_ALLOW'.
Thanks

Cannot change an added approver

Hello,
We can no longer change an added approver to a shopping cart. You can go through the steps to change the approver but once you save it and check the approval preview the first approver is still there. We applied note 1318725 Ad hoc approvers cannot be changed to SSR when we did Support Packs in the Spring and it worked then. But now it is no longer working.
I have been searching OSS notes but haven't had any luck. Has anyone experienced this and fixed it?
We are SRM 5.0 Classic.
Regards,
Corinne Taylor

Hello,
Check if badi BBP_CHNG_AGNT_ALLOW is active. This could influence the behaviour that you are facing.
Kind regards,

Changing KM document approval template

Hi KM or workflow gurus,
I need to change KM document approval request template to display requestor details and request date. For example, when a requestor send a document for approval, approver should be able to see who (in most case, the author) is sending this request.
By following the tutorial, http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/200c295a-9043-2c10-8d88-a6e1c84b21f9?QuickLink=index&overridelayout=true, i add <lastmodifieduser> and <lastmodified> in workflow_en.xml, which is sitting in CM root/etc/notifications.
However, the notification email cannot pick up these two values. I noticed in workflow_email.xsl, there are missing definitions for these two tags. Simply copy and paste, i added two definitions in the xsl file but problem still.
Could anyone point to me a direction on this problem? Do i need to do some java coding in order to get this thing working? Or am i missing some configuration steps?
Thanks in advance!

Which were the source and target versions of the upgrade? If the target version is NW73 or higher, you could use the Portal Content Analyzer.

Change way of approval

Hi there,
At this moment I'm searching for a solution to change the current approval functionality.
I do want purchasers to approve their incoming invoices, however the actual steps SAP B1 is taking at the moment are to much.
Is it possible that if a purchaser approved the incoming invoice, that the draft invoice is automaticcaly added instead of that the owner of the document receives the notification that the invoice is approved and still need to submit the draft version?
I hope someone knows a solution for this, otherwise it is very labor intensive.
Kind regards,
Marcel Kieboom

Hi Gordon,
Thank you for your reply.
It is correct that an assistant will do the data entry and the purchaser will approve or directly add the document, that is what I'm searching for. Instead of, the assistant will add the draft document, the purchaser approves it and again the assistant receives a notification to submit the draft document.
Kind regards,
Marcel Kieboom

Inactivate "Change responsible for approval"

Hi!
When a user looks at the preview of the approves he is able to click on one approver and then choose "Change responsible for approval". We do not want this to be possible since we are using a table with approvers in the background. Is it possible to inactive this possibility or button?
Sincerely
Anders

Put the below code in the BADI. This would deactivate the adding/changing of approvers in the workflow approval for every user.
method IF_EX_BBP_CHNG_AGNT_ALLOW~AUTHORISE_FOR_CHANGE.
EV_CHNG_BUTTONS_DISABLED = 'X'.
endmethod.

PURCHASING-How to change the next approver for the Purchase Requistion(PR)-

Hi All,
Could you please let me know how to change the next approver for the Purchase Requistion(PR) from User "X" to "Y", as Y was manager of "X" and 'X' left the organization. how can i acheive this? can you please let me know the process ?
Thanks,

Hi,
You have not mentioned the version you are using (11i or R12).. Are you using iProcurement... ? Are you using positional or Employee-Supervisor hierarchy..?
Your question : How to change the next approver for the Purchase Requistion(PR) from User "X" to "Y", as Y was manager of "X" and 'X' left the organization.
Ans: You can achieve this through below workarounds
- Through *"Mass Update of Requisitions" functionality* (Conc. request) you can update the Approver name from User "X" to "Y" for existing PRs.
- Replacing the Supervisor name of the requestor/requisitioner in the HR record (assignment) from User "X" to "Y"..
Hope it helps.

Reject Pending Approval Tasks when Manager changes

Folks,
I have a requirement , when the user's manager change , i need to reject all the pending approval tasks for that particular user whose manager has changed , not others pending tasks .
Please let me know if anyone has implemented such a requirement .
I'm thinking of writing the logic in Change Manager task in xellearte user prov process , so when manager will change this task will trigger and in this task i will get all the pending approvals by using the 'getPendingApprovalTasksAssignedToUser' but i'm not sure how to identify the user who was the beneficiary of the task .
Thnx
Sid

We are using 11.1.1.5 with BP03.
Question - An OIM user can raise requests which can be routed to its manager for approval. The manager may manage more than one subordinate and will have approval tasks for requests raised by all his subordinates. If one of the subordinate's manager changes, tasks assigned to old manager for that subordinate should be rejected. All other tasks assigned to this manager by other subordniates should still be active. Can we fetch tasks assigned to a manager for a particular subordinate?
APIs do give me all the tasks assigned to a user but can we filter them to fetch tasks related to only one beneficiary without fetching all and then iterating through all to get desired result?

Outcome Sequence of Human Tasks changed REJECT,APPROVE once deployed

Dear All,
We have setup the human workflow, and the outcome list we choose as APPROVE,REJECT and in our Jdeveloper it is in the same order. But once deployed, the order gets changed to REJECT,APPROVE in the tmp folder of the server, and accordingly the approver gets REJECT as the first item in the select list.
Kindly show us the light to disable this conversion.

Hi,
hope you are using 11g Jdev..
What is the mode of deployment you are using?
you said some temp folder, will that present in Project file? or you are refering to server folder??
If you are using Scripts to deploy then try to deploy the service usig tool itself or import it as jar. and check this.
then if u r not facing any issue, check your deployment script properly.
Thanks,
Santosh M E
