Portal Approval Process

Hi all,
Problem:
I have a lot of editors building pages for their individual departments but they need a approval from the administrators before they can publish their pages. I know there's a available portal in portal builder for "My Notifications" , "My Approval Status" and "Pending Approvals Monitor" to check whether is being approve a not but I can't find anywhere for editors to submit their pages for the administrators to approve.
Question:
How do I let editors to send their pages to the administrator for approval after they have newly finished their pages?
Thanks for your help in advance!!

Hello,
in my opinion, the approval process can only be used for content item modifications, for example, adding a new document to a page, but not for pages themselves.
Hope it helps,
Felix

  • PO approval process in ECC for extended classic scenario

    Hi All,
    At this moment we are using SAP ECC for procure to pay process. In the existing system set up, our ECC purchase order goes for approval via SAP enterprise portal(EP). We are planing to implement SRM 7.0 Extended classic scenario, so that user can take the advantage of creating PO in their web portal. We don't want to disturb our existing ECC PO approval process at this point of time.  
    So our requirement is :
    User will create PO in SRM. Same PO will replicated in ECC and the PO will goes for approval in in ECC and the PO output will generate in ECC. Can it me possible in extended classic scenario ?
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Jennifer

    Hi Jennifer,
    Since SRM PO will be leading PO in extended classic scenario, why donot you design the process controlled workflow in line with the existing release strategy that you are using for ECC PO?
    Thanks and regards,

    Patricio ,
       The service permissions are as follows . For testing purposes
    1) Everyone has Full Control
    2) The user with which I have created the repository Manager is the permissions owner
    3) The permissions owner also has full control .
    I am using a file repository manager where the a folder in a windows OS system based machine has been configured to the portal with File repository manager . The access rights on the folder is complete to the user with which I have logged into that file server and the folder is also shared .
    I am at EP6.0 SP15
    Any Clue ?

  • Requisition Approval Process in EHP4

    HI,
    In EHP4- E-recruiting, I have given one user the role of Restricted Recruiter. During the requisition creation process, this user should not be allowed to release the Requisition. But this user can release the requisition. It is not asking for the Approver. I hvae already activated the standard workflow for this
    I am currently using the follwoing package- SAPK-60407INERECRUIT.
    Thanks and Regards
    Rosy

    Hi Christine,
    Where can I find out more about what the "workitem" is and where it should be "displayed" to the approver? I'm not sure of what "Interface" the Approver is supposed to Login to, in order to approve the requisition so as to set the requisition's status to "Released".
    I'm using the Restricted Recruiter role that you describe, and I'm able to get the workflow to send an email to the designated approver. However, the default email doesn't mention anything about the "workitem" and the email does not provide a Link so that the approver can complete the Approval process.
    We are using a distributed SAP E-Recruiting sytem and we do not use SAP Portal or MSS. In addition, we have only turned on and activated Business Function "HCM_ERC_CI_1".
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Document approval process.

    hello all,
       Is it possible to use the organization structure from  HR (R3) for the approval process of documents in cm repositories?
    in other words
    Whether it is possible to maintain the approvers from HR (R3) for the documents in cm repository?
    We want to use the existing approvers (superiors) in  HR  for the document approval process in portal.
      Can any body help me?
    Rajendra

    hi
    use of universal worklist may be one of the solution and again enterprise portal support adhoc workflow if documents are made available to the CM repositories.you can built as a workaround in folderstructures in  CM repositories and classify the doccuments Using taxonomy and classification   and also for respective folders can be made available for set of approvers   and also this docs comming from HR  can be searched also .This are suggestions work on this lines it may help you  please do not forget to give points

    For you to test Approvals, you have to setup a number of things;
    1. Supervisor Hierarchy (If using that as hierarchy)
    2. Job Levels (If using Job-level approvals)
    3. New rules for SSHR functions.
    The getApprStartingPointPersonId function returns the starting point person ID for the transaction in the HR_API_TRANSACTIONS table. It uses that to traverse the supervisor hierarchy based on the approval.
    Hope this helps.

    Hi Julien,
    The task type of the work item is 'W' and task_id is TS*.
    As I told previously, the scenario here is of Releasing/Rejecting a PR.
    The  present scenario here is, the approver gets the workitem in his MS outlook inbox, with a Link for approval.
    When he/she clicks on the link, it navigates to the tcode me54n of the sap system, where the approver has to take a decision of releasing or rejecting the PR.
    So, I dont think the BAPI SAP_WAPI_DECISION_COMPLETE will be of help to me because the decision here is taken in the transaction me54n and not on the workitem itself.
    But now, when i configure this scenario on a blackberry, the approver should be able to take the decision of Releasing/ Rejecting the PR on his blackberry itself(without going to the transaction me54n).
    Can you please help me on this?
    Thanks

    Hi Rajesh,
    If approver rejects the records then the workflow will go back to previous step also u can branch the workflow on the basis of approve/disprove i.e. if the records approve then to a step and if approved then to a default step by using Branch.The record will be in MDM .The workflow history can be seen in data manager.And to have a report u can make a application. The link shows hw to have the history.

  • RFQ Approval Process through Workflow

    Dear experts,
    We are on planning phase of RFQ release approval through SAP Workflow. There is an issue I would like to hear from your valuable thoughts.
    When an RFQ is created, ME41, all individual bids are collected under a unique collective number. Once price maintain process is done through ME47 for all bidder, we would like to send all RFQu2019s, with necessary information, which are linked to a collective number in one e-mail even if there are tens of RFQu2019s linked a collective number, not one by one sending it as we do in PO workflow process.
    Is it possible to realize this case within SAP standard approval process? Because so far I noticed that once fundamental customizing is done after price maintaining step RFQu2019s are send individually, one by one, to approvers.
    Cheers

    Dear Melih,
    I suppose you want to get approved the best offer in the bid. The best practice is to have a strong rules based on predefined criteria which quotation to be choosen by Purchasing. Then PO/contract/scheduling agreement/PIR can be maintained.
    What we have done in our system is that the PO created goes for approval based on Chart of authority via Enterprise portal. A report, displaying the key figures from the RFQs in the bid, vendor evaluation scoring for each vendor, if available and some other data, is linked to the workflow item and displayed during approval process.

    A Corporation currently has SAP Workflow and they are currently using it to send PR items via Outlook to the approver of these PRs. The approver then gets an email which contains a link to the Portal where he/she approves or rejects the PR.
    Now, along with the email to the approver, the approver should also get the PRs on his/her Blackberry and should be able to approve or reject the PRs from the Blackberry Device itself.
    I found from this forum that I should use "SAPI_WAPI*" BAPIs for my requirement.
    I explored all the "SAPI_WAPI* " BAPIs and narrowed down on SAP_WAPI_CREATE_WORKLIST to get all the work items for a particular user.
    Is this the right BAPI??
    Now for approval or rejection of this work item, I found the BAPI - SAPI_WAPI_DECISION_COMPLETE.
    But when i give the workitem id for PR release to the above BAPI, it says " the workitem <Workitem no> is not a user decision".
    I would be greatful if u could help me in this??
    Which is the right BAPI for Approval/Rejection of PR release work item??
    I would be grateful if anybody could guide me in this.

  • Approval process and publishing a document

    Hi,
       i have two tiers of approval for my folder and how does someone approve the  contents,i mean how does the folder passes on to next tier for approval and how is it finally published?
    how can the published contents be made visible for readers?
    Thanks in advance,
    jules

    Hi,
    First, you have to active Status Management Service  (statemngt)in your repository, after that you have to restart portal.
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/69/d96b86a84611d5993600508b6b8b11/frameset.htm
    Then in your folder, details->setting->approval->you define step and approvers.
    All document store in this folder will use the same approval process.
    When a user approve a document, this documet is publish.
    In this folder you save your documets, all user with read (only) permission, will see this document once is approved.
    If you create KM Navigation iview to point this folder, the only documents visibles (by user with only read permission) will be approved.
