PO Responsibility for Document Approval

Hello,
For a person to be able to approve purchase orders in Oracle, does the person need to have an Oracle responsibility assigned to them in order to do (For e,g., PO Approver, etc) providing they are set-up with a job that enables them to approve? If a person will approve only via the email notification they receive, do they still need an Oracle responsibility assigned?
Thanks,
Shilpa.

Hi,
Your question :
*1) For a person to be able to approve purchase orders in Oracle, does the person need to have an Oracle responsibility assigned*
Ans : No, for approval process no need to assign a PO responsibility.. but if approver want to view the document from approval page then he indeed need a PO responsibility assigned to him
2) If a person will approve only via the email notification they receive, do they still need an Oracle responsibility assigned?
Ans : Not required.
Kind Regards,

Workflow for Document Approval

Hi all,
I'm a newbie to SolMan and is trying to figure out how to implement a workflow for document approval. A similar question has probably been posted in the past, but I can't find a definite solution, only some hints.
Basically, what we're trying to achieve is the following:
When a document is uploaded using SOLAR02, and the creator of the document changes the status to ready for sign-off, we would like to trigger a workflow which will send an email to a couple of persons who are responsible to approve the document. We already implement the digital signature, we just want to add an automatic email notification to be sent to the approvers.
Based on my research, it seems that this is not supported by SolMan and hence we have to do a custom development.
There's an object key called SOLMANDOC and we should raise an event (something like SIGNATURE_PROCESS_START) to send an email notification to the approvers. Can somebody confirm whether my understanding is right ? Does anybody know the name of the BADI that we can modify to achieve our goal ?
FYI, we're using SolMan Rel 7.01 SP 19.
Thanks in advance

Hi Phil,
I'm facing with problems with creating a simple 2 steps release strategy.
the problem is I cant approve the last step of the release.
This is what I did:
In spro Digital Signature->Signature strategy:
in "Define Authorization groups" I create this entries:
1. EING
2. VERIF
in "Define Individual Signatures" I create this entries:
1. S1   EING
2. S2   VERIF
in "Define Individual Strategies: I create this entries:
SigStrat: ZSIGSTR
Signature Method: R
Display comment: X Required
Display Remark: X
Display document: X
Verification: not checked
in "Assign individual signatures"
CtrIn Indiv.SIG.      AGrpDIG
1          S1               EING
2          S2               VERIF
Display Predecessor for Ctrln is 2 is 1
for "Display release statuses" an entry with one line with the value 1
and in "Display individual signatures there 2 entries 1 and 2.
in spro "Define Document status schemes"
stat scheme "ZSIGSTR"
4 status:
Status                 init status      Sequence    Low     High       lock         Signature schma End status         Cancel status
COPY_EDITING       X                  10           10       20          -
REVIEW                                     20           10        40        X                    ZSIGSTR         RELEASED    DECLINED
RELEASED                                30           10        40        X
DECLINED                                  40           10        20
I created two roles with object c_sign_bpr one with the value "EING"   and the other with the value "VERIF"
I assign this status scheme to a document type in my project.
I tried to release a document the first step was the author of the document move the status to "REVIEW" and I got a window that i need to enter my password and it worked ok.
The problem is in the second step that I need to release the document (now is in a REVIEW status) When I press on the icon in order to release I didn't get the option to release only to cancel there is no "V" option in the small window.
Can you please tell me if I did a correct customization? also can you tell me if my problem is maybe missing authorization? Can you direct me to reading material or to an example?
Best regards

Capture/Display Date & Time for Document Approval

Hi Gurus,
We are on SAP Enterprise Portals 7 SPS 15.
I have enabled Document Approval in one folder in a repository. The Document Approval works correctly; but I want to capture the date and time the document was approved at:
Option 1 (Preferred):
1. Click on "Details" from the "Context Menu" of the document.
2. Click on "Settings"=>"Approval" in the popup window.
Currently it only shows
<Step-Name> <Approver-Name> has approved
Desired:
<Step-Name> <Approver-Name> has approved on <Date-Time>
Option 2:
1. Approval Maintenance Report (under Content Management=>Reports=>Approval maintenance)
Your guidance is greatly appreciated and I promise points.
Thanks and regards,
Pratik

How to develop Document approval stages for user forms

Hello friends
I want to apply document approval stages to one of my documents
how it can be done
i want it to be something like purchase order .
Thanks in advance,
Atul

Hi,
First of all go to the general settings and click Apply Approval Procedures.
Before creating a Approval Procedure - the following points have to be clear
1) Number Of Approvals.
2) Who will authorise it.
3) Which Documents are to go for Approval.
4) Who is the originator of the document.
Then go to the Administrator Module - Approval Procedures.
The first stage speaks as to the details metioned in Point 1.
The rest is as above.
A super user cant have approval procedures.

Approval Dates for each Approver in Document Details

Hello,
Please I want to know if this can be done. I need to show the approval dates for each approval step of a document next to the approver name in the iview,
Context Menu of a document -> Details -> Settings -> Approval. (The approval process must be enabled).
Example:
Approval Process
Step
Approvers
1 User, Intranet has approved - 25/07/2010 9:10 AM
2 lastname, name has approved - 27/07/2010 10:08 AM
I don't know if this is possible.

Hello,
After searching for days in SDN / HELP, I found that in "km.appl.ui.statemanagement_api.jar" there are ".properties" for all the languages. What takes my attention is the file "ApprovedItemRenderer_en.properties" that has this content,
#File created by SLIM generator ($SP-DIFF-TRANSLATED-FILE$)
xfld_author=Approved By
xfld_date=Approved On
The standard portal displays Approved By. But I see that SAP has thought in the approval date? Is there an easy way or how can I activate the property xfld_date?
Thanks & Regards

Email Notifications through workflow for all Approved and Rejected Orders

hi,
i have to send Email Notifications through workflow for all Approved and Rejected Orders to the user who have submitted the order for approval.how could it be done.please send ur solutions.
regards
yesukannan

Hi,
An option would be use Oracle Alert. Create an event based alert on the table where you have order approvals or rejections. This alert will be raised after inserting or updating this table. Create an action linked to this alert, and choose message as action type.
This setup can be done under Alert Manager Responsibility.

Digital Signatures for cProjects Approval

Hi Folks,
I am on cProjects 4.5 and from what I understand there are 2 options for this based on whether or not I check the "Signature of Approval with User Certificate" box in Project Type config.
Unchecked - user is prompted for cProjects password and this works fine. Only issue for us is, we are on the portal and most likely cProjects password will be different and unknown to user. As per note 928527 this is standard behavior and tough luck for anybody on the portal.
Checked - use is given the ability to digitally sign the PDF approval document. When I select "sign" on the PDF I am given the ability to create a new ID or use an existing ID from a file, server etc. I created a new ID and signed the document. Once I do this and click the transfer button the system appears to hang. The progress indicator appears and keeps going.
Therefore my questions are:
1. Is there any additional config I need to do in cProjects. ADS or anywhere else?
2. How exactly does adobe digital signatures work? If anybody simply create a signature how does that provide any verification of authenticity?
Appreciate any help.
Thanks,
Lashan

Hi,
please see teh Configuration Content for cProjects 4.5 available in SAP Solution Manager and also as PDF attachment to SAP Note 1035436.
There it says:
Making Settings for the Approval
Use
You can use user certificates for digital signatures of approvals.
Prerequisites
● You are using Microsoft® Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher.
● You have a user certificate that is suitable for digital signatures (for example, the single
sign-on certificate).
● You have installed Adobe® Reader and Adobe Document Services.
Procedure
To verify the signature, enter the corresponding root certificate in the certificate list of the
Personal Security Environment (PSE, transaction STRUST). For more information, see the
documentation for the activity and the Adobe Document Services u2013 Configuration Guide NW
2004s on SAP Service Marketplace at service.sap.com/adobe u2192 Media Library u2192
Documentation.
In fact, what is described in the ADS documentation referenced above is that you have to install
the certificate also on the ADS.
Kind regards,
Florian

Vendor Responsibility for Purchasing Groups

Hi experts!
We should assign vendor responsibility for purchasing groups, what means depending on which vendor / source-of-supply is selected in the shopping cart the correct purchasing group is assigned.
Do you have any idea how to handle this in SAP standard?
Can we use a BADI to help out?
Many thanks for your ideas.
Best regards,
Corinne

Lots of BADIs are there, which can help out ->

CProject 4. 0 Document Approval Document Error

Hi All,
We have the configuration that was working fine for Phase Approval in cProjects 4.0.
I am having a look at it as we are getting You can not begin approval without an approval document error message on click of Begin Approval button.
Though I have not checked ADS (Note - 944221), this does not seem to be ADS problem as the Document with decision as Granted gets displayed properly.
I create New Approval by adding approver, after click of Begin Approval, then the error message gets displayed.
Configuration seems OK as it was working fine few days ago.
Also looking at note 874054 (Is it only for cProjects 3.1 ?)
The only thing which I am doubtful about is, in configuration Activate Forms Per Project Type where I need to deactivate the smartform DPR_APPROVAL_HIER, which is set to Active (i will deactivate and test again). Also the PDF Print form DPR_APPROVAL_HIER is set active.
Thanks in advance....

Hi Bushan,
try this ,
In c project configuration --> Activate From per Project Type
--->you ACTIVATE the PDF FORM
---> DEACTIVATE the smart form
for DPR_APRROVAL_HIRE FORM
thanks

Thanks Andy,
I have googled activating workflow approvals in SP2013. However the sites I have read, refer to activating a feature that is not there on my server. So not sure how I should be doing this.
I have spent days looking into this. Is there an article somewhere that explains how to do this.
I will read up on people picker, it looks a little more complicated than I think setting up a document approval should be.
I only want the approver to be 1 of about 10 people. Is there any way just to set a simple list to pick the approver from?
