PO Workflow is not restarted when changed by Approver

Hi
PO workflow is not restarted.
Scenario (<= 100K 1approver, > 100K 2approver)
Purchaser created PO Document > 100K so there's 2 approvers.
1st approver - approves the document
2nd approver - changes the amount to < 100K. Needs only 1 approver
                  - clicks on back to purchaser
Purchaser - clicks change button
               - view approval preview (approver 1 is displayed still marked as approved)
              - clicks on back to approver
What should be the system behavior?
- Approver 1 inbox?
- PO marked as approved?
SRM currently passes the PO document to the 2nd approver's inbox. I've already set the security level to LOW but still the WFL changes doesn't trigger the workflow to restart.
Any ideas?

My initial thought is that this is brilliant. Approver 1 has already approved a higher amount, why would he/she want to be bothered again if the amount is lowered. So unless you have a specific requirement for new approval I wouldn't recommend viewing this as a problem. It's a feature to reduce the workload, you should charge a premium
One thing must of course be checked: If approver 1 is different for a 1-lever approval than for a 2-level approval, the PO must be sent to the new person for approval.
I don't know if this, i.e. different first-level approvers, is possible for PO approval, but I know it is possible for Release for Payment (FI).

  • [Bug?] Defer Panel Update not working when changing scale property

    Hi,
    I found that Defer Panel Update [when True] does not work properly when changing the scale fit property of an intensity graph.
    Try the VI.
    When Defer Panel Update is True, and you change the Numeric controls, the Intensity graph is not updated (as expected).
    But now change the "Z Scale.Scale Fit" button and.... the Intensity graph is updated (only the Z-color, not the axis).
    This looks to be a bug to me!

  • How to create a looping music player that does not restart when you go to other pages

    Hello
    I am new to web design. I apologize if I do not use the write
    terminology. I am designing a website. I want to have a song that
    loops continuously throughout the site and does not restart when
    you click on the different pages. I have included a link to a site
    that I found that does what I want to do. (Hopefully this link will
    give you a better idea of what I am trying to describe)
    http://www.marcuscoleministries.com/index2.html
    Thanks for your time and consideration

    You will have to use frames which in itself is a bad idea.
    IMO music that
    plays automatically is a terrible idea. It is likely to drive
    away many
    visitors and is unlikely to retain even a single visitor.
    Avoid frames. Drop the music. You'll be happy you did.

  • WF does not restart when requester accept changes

    Hi,
    We have a problem with the non badi Workflow in SRM Server 5.0 (even with a 1 step Workflow WS10000129). When a approver (bbp_wfl_security = low)changes the Quantity or the Price the changed shopping cart returns to the Inbox of the requester. When the requester goes into his inbox and looks at the approval preview for the changed shopping cart in the graphic mode the result is “Approved”. When the requester clicks on “Accept changes” the shopping cart disappears out of his inbox. The shopping cart does not go to the approver again. The shopping cart becomes not a purchase order. We would expect that the workflow would restart after the requester clicks on “Accept Changes” however now it is a black box.
    Greetings,
    Wilko Karrenbeld

    Hi
    What type of Workflow is used in the ystem - Item level Workflow or SC Workflow. ?
    Couple of reasons can be behind this.
    1) Either  the BADI code in custom implementation is incorrect.
    2) start conditions for Workflows and sub-workflows are not correctly determined.
    3) Missing OSS note / Bug in ths system.
    Please refer to these OSS notes.

  • Workflow not triggering when changing Item-level Permissions in Sharepoint 2013 list

    Scenario:
    We have a custom list in Sharepoint 2013 that we use for Case Management. We have a workflow that triggers on a created item generated from an email. The user then gets a reply with a link to his own case.
    I want the users only to be able to see their own cases and no one elses.  When I change this under
    Advanced Settings under List Settings and
    Item-level Permissions and set them to Read items that were created by the user
    and Create items and edit items that were created by the user
    the workflow doesn´t trigger.
    How can I resolve this? I've tried every possible out-of-the-box permissions but with no result. Help!
    Thanks in advance!
    // Browncreek

    When you're testing , remember you cant trigger declarative workflow from the System Account - you need a general user account for auto-trigger workflows.  Good luck!

    Hi, I have the same problem. Except that I am not using an email to create a new item. The item is created by members of a SharePoint group that have Contribute access to the list. When use the same settings i.e.
    Read items that were created by the user and Create items and edit items that were created by the user,
    the workflow does not trigger. If I set it back to Real all items and Create
    and Edit all items, it triggers the workflow.
    Please help me resolve as I have rolled this out to pilot users and am having this trouble.
    Thanks,

  • Workflow not found when changing QTY on PO

    Hello, I am on SRM 5.5 Extended Classic.
    I have a problem with approval workflow for PO.
    I have activated WS14000075 (without approval) for both event SAVED and Save Change Version. This works fine when I create and save PO. But when I change the QTY on an exisiting PO, I get message "No workflow found".
    I do not understand this as I have activated both the mentioned WFs (and the value change lower than the limit in Purchase Order.Total Value Diff).
    How can I find out which event this change triggers, and any suggestion on how I should solve this?

  • 6267 restarts when changing songs...

    I'm now on my third (yes, 3'rd) Nokia 6267 since I got the first two phones replaced just a day (and the day after), because of this problem - and STILL the problem has not disappeared. I even tried to change to another brand om MicroSD-card - for no use.
    As it is right now, I can't use the mobile at all for playing my music. Randomly the phone restarts when skipping a song to play the next track. It *may* work for some tries, but after a few click the screen goes black, then white - and we are back to the main window. (Nokia logo with hands not shown as in a common startup). Seems lite the system is restarting somehow.
    I'm not really sure how to get on further with this. The company that I bought the phone from told me that if I havent figured out a way to solve the problem myself - they would keep it and send it for repair. That is stupid, since all three phones I've tried now has the same problem, probably a problem that would easily be solved with a new firmware or Series 40 version. I've got the latest, already checked that ofcourse.
    Any clues what to do? =( I want the tech-people at Nokia to know about this issue, but I'm not sure how to reach them. I've contacted the Nokia email-support, and I'm very curious about how the will handle this matter.
    I'm seriously mad...and sad about all this. Will there be an update for the latest Series 40 and for the Nokia 6267 soon?
    Do you have the same problem, please let me know if that is the case!
    Best Regards,
    Fredrik, Sweden

    the allocation unit size is affected in exactly the manner you've stated (for a 2GB card) but small allocation units are not always better.
    for small files, it is more efficient to have smaller allocation units. for large files, larger allocation units are better. it boils down to how much work is performed to the read data for an entire file, not just the first chunk.
    small files in small allocation units: more efficient since less space is wasted (called 'slack space' by most people, the wasted space is the portion of an allocation unit assigned to a file that is not actually used by that file).
    large files with large allocation units: once the filesystem driver has found a data cluster, it can stream more data without being interrupted by another lookup task. there are fewer inode lookups (due to the previous statement). less wasted space on meta data (fewer inodes @ 1 allocation unit per inode). less wasted space on allocation table (2^16 entries instead of 2^32 entries - an entry points to the root inode for a file). less fragmentation: file system fragmentation is more of an issue with smaller allocation units. (tear up a picture into 2x2 inch squares, how disorganized can you make them? tear each of those squares into 4 pieces, how disorderly can they become now?)
    faster performance with FAT32 you say? then you must have a lot of rather small files. load up your 2GB card with a few large movies (which is what i like to do) and you should see better performance (and battery life, but not considerably) with FAT16.
    sorry to be argumentative, i've had a rough morning. in any case, FAT is a pretty crummy filesystem by today's standards. we're talking about performance and power optimizations on the order of 10%. disk space optimization is a little trickier to predict, since it is a product of how many files you have and how many allocation units they use before the final, partly used allocation unit.
    N95-1 ---> N97-NAM ---> N900 ---> E7-00 + N900 (I use them both)
    (N95 was pretty good, N97 had potential but utterly failed to deliver, N900 is absurdly good. Those of you wondering, "should I try N900/Maemo/MeeGo"? The answer is a resounding YES)

    Hi Courfeyrak,
    Here is another similar post with a workaround, you can try using the event receiver on listB item to start the workflow, when the listB item is created or updated by the workflow associated with listA.

  • My Mac did not restart after changing permissions of "everyone".

    The reason of my question is because somehow and for a reason I now regret, yesterday I did a very foolish thing: I decided to change the permissions of my hard drive.
    I have been in Mac just 2 months. I am the only User and Administrator of this Mac.
    I changed the permission of "everyone" to "no access" believing that I was just limiting access to "everyone" except me. But after that I could not restart my Macbook Pro. It did not go beyond the Apple logo. Looks like I was also included in "everyone.
    First I tryed to verify and repair permissions with Disk Utility restarting with Command+R. It did not work. I could not restart normally.
    Then I figured it out that if I could only access that "permissions" windows again I could revert the process to "just read". Problem was how to access that window.
    Lucky me, I had a 6 days old Time Machine backup in an external hard drive and another 6 days old Carbon Copy Image in a different hard drive. I restarted from this Clone Image with Command +R, opened Disk Utilities, opened the mount point of this Clone, (:/Volumes/Mac109Clone), right clicked Macintosh HD (the internal hard drive), got access to the Information Window and revert the permissions of "everyone" to just read. Then I could restart my Mac normally.
    My 3 questions are:
    The mount point to Macinthosh HD is "/"
    The mount point to Mac109Clone (Carbon Copy image in external hard drive) is "Volumes/Mac109Clone.
    1) Is this what shoud be?
    2) What does "everyone" means in permissions: is everyone except me or everyone including me?
    3) Why the "verify and repair" process did not work?
    Thanks for the information.

    mediclips --
    You Mac already set up Permissions that would have protected you.
    By applying settings that made sense to you, your Mac is now totally messed up.
    Were you formerly a PC owner?  If so, please read this article on switching to Macs:
    http://www.apple.com/support/mac101/
    1.  If you have a password to login, you are already protected.
    2.  Do you have your "Security and Privacy" setting in your System Preferences set to Firewall "On?"
    3.  Stay away from non-Apple apps that promise "security," or "file cleaning."  They are not needed, and cause damage.
    Actually, I would recommend that you reinstall your OS, to get your permissions back in order.  In the future, please know that your Mac knows much better than most users how to protect itself, and your information. 
    I just really hope you can successfully undo the damage you've accidently caused.
    All the best!
    EDIT:  Others have had this "problem."  But if the users had left permissions as they were originally set up, they would have no problem.

  • FMS not restarting when rebooting

    Hi Everyone
    I have a problem when rebooting the computer: Flash Media Server will not restart automatically after rebooting.
    During installation I've set the server to run as a daemon, yet it doesnt seem to start up automatically.
    It's a bit strange because I can actually connect to the admin console, and even 'restart' the server from there, yet when I try to stream content it will not connect. The only way I can start the server is through the command line.
    This is what I'm running:
    - Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 4 (Nahant Update 8)
    - Linux 2.6.9-89.0.3.ELsmp #1 SMP Sat Jun 13 07:05:54 EDT 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
    - Flash Media Streaming Server 3.0.1 r123
    After rebooting, these are  the processes that are running:
    root      5425     1  0 13:49 ?        00:00:00 ./fmsmaster -silent
    root      5445  5425  0 13:49 ?        00:00:00 /opt/adobe/fms/fmsedge -edgeports :1935,443,80 -coreports localhost:19350 -conf /opt/adobe/fms/conf/Server.xml -adaptor _defaultRoot_ -name _defaultRoot__edge1
    root      5555     1  0 13:49 ?        00:00:00 ./fmsadmin -console -conf ./conf/Server.xml
    Has anyone else encountered this problem? Is this a known problem with FMSS 3.0.1?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Ryan

    That's strange, especially since the right processes are running.  Perhaps there's something in the logs about what happens, have you take a look through /var/log/messages and the FMS logs?  Particularly look for the master log mentioning that it's trying to start a core - that should be the sign of the connection, and you can check the access log too to see if the connection is even getting in.

  • Access 2010 on 64 Bit Windows 7 Access "Not Responding" when changing from forms view to design view and back

    I am running
    Windows 7 64 bit
    Access 2010 32 bit
    Developing an application with a split FE BE with both files local but continue to have the message "Not Responding" when switching from forms view to design view and back as well as if I try to connect to a subform or object on the sub form.

    I have seen this behavior when the form's RecordSource is a complex query such as a crosstab or a query with several nested queries. To test if this is your case, remove the RecordSource and see if the form starts acting normal again.
    Then again, if the form has several subforms they might be slowing up the loading time.

  • Downloading additional components for fresh reinstall of lion but does not restart when done

    i've attempted to reinstall a fresh copy of lion because ever since i had lion, my dmg files wont open, software would not update and many other problems. So i tried reinstall and i waited hours for them to download additional components. the bar is completely blue (completed) but it would not restart. do i restart it manually?

    Manually shut it down.
    I would then first reset the SMC:
    Shut down and unplug the Mac.
    Keep the Mac unplugged for at least fifteen seconds.
    Plug the Mac back in and do not turn it back on for at least five seconds.
    Press the power button to turn the Mac back on.
    Then I would reset the PRAM by rebooting the iMac while simultaneously holding the Command-Option-P-R keys until the machine restarts a second time.
    Let us know if these  procedures don't solve the problems.
    Hope this helps

  • Workflow process does not restart when re-ordering a PO

    We are running SRM 7.0 with Process Controlled Workflow and have configured N-Step approval process for PO.
    When the PO is ordered for the first time, the approver determination and the approval process work as expected. However, after the PO has been ordered, and the user makes changes to the ordered PO and re-orders it, the PO's approver list does not get refreshed, and the PO header shows the following staled information in "Approval" tab with "current status" = "Finished" -
    Process Step                   Status         Processor                      
    SRM Purchase Order Approval    Approved   <approver user name>
    And the PO would go into "Awaiting Approval" status but the PO work item does not appear in anybody's UWL.
    Any hints regarding the possible cause of this behavior are appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Hello,
    check in the BBP_PD the changed version po generated. there you will see if any WFL started or not. Or take the PO change version GUID and go at SWI6/swi1 to check the WFL log.
    At SLG1 should appear also, check if at table /SAPSRM/C_WF_CST you have the trace level set to 1. This will make slg1 take all logs (green and red).
    You can also always force a restart via BADI /SAPSRM/IF_EX_WF_PROC_RESTART
    Thanks,
