PR item level Release WorkFlow

Hi Experts,
I have activated PR item level release WorkFlow WS00000038. My MM consultant has configured release strategy with ME51N. The Work flow works fine On releasing it sends notification work item to initator but on release Refusal it don't send notification work item to initator. Can anyone guide me how to resolve this issue.
TS00007986 SINGLERELEASE
4 Outcomes of release
1) Positive Confirmation
2) Negative Confirmation
3) Confirmation Release Cancelled
4) Purchase requisition item significantly changed
Now 1) posative confirmation is working fine.
but when we reject release then in that case also the workflow log it is going in undefined output that is significantly changed.
can anyone help me to resolve this issue.
Regards,
Hari

Hi Hari,
When you reject a PR, 2 events are getting triggered (Significantly changed and rejection_started). You check this in Transaction SWEL by rejecting PR.
The reason why output is going to Significantly changed branch is in SWEL you can see that 1st Significantly changed event is getting triggered and then Rejection_started.
Solution1: Deactivate the Significantly changed event in termination events tab.
Solution2: Create an attribute(Database object) for your business object. This attribute should be of type EBAN-BANPR. Check if BANPR = 08 and then send the rejection mail.
I hope this clears your doubt.
Please Revert back to me if you have any queries.

PR workflow for item level release (stock and non-stock)

Hello gurus,
I am not getting the agents.!!
I am creating a workflow for pr( item level release)..and using standard wf WS00000038 for this, as the standard wf contains the simple release procedure only but i have to add some custom steps to it, so i have copied this wf as custom wf .
In this wf i have to fetch the agents based on the "stock" and "non-stock items".
so i have maintained strategies and release code like:
i have maintained two strategies W1(non-stock) and W2(stock)..and release code for W1 are P1 and P2..here P1 i have given for my first level of approval and P2 for second level of approval.
The release code for W2 are P3 and P2..first level is P3 and second is P2.
so what i have did in a workflow , started with a condition step where i have given "releasecode = p1".. if yes than than it will go for getting approval from p1 , in this activity i am using standard rule 157.
The main thing is 1). i am not getting how to fetch agents using standard rule. 2)and how and where to define next level of approval for both stock and non-stock.
means by using condition step in the starting i am dividing workflow in two parts stock and non stock but how to proceed next.
i am really confused. should i use rules or write my own methods. please if anybody has gone through the same scenario than please suggest some points. i will really appreciate the help.
Kind Regards.

Hello HIM Joshi !
                   Include the task TS00007986 and all its branches and in a loop and loop around it for two times.When the loop goes for the first time, it should pick the first agent and during its second iteration, it should pick the second agent.
                   To accomplish so, In the same loop, but before the above task , include a background task which should populate the agent ids depending on stock and non-stock details and pass it to the the task TS00007986
                   That's all.

Hello Hari,
please set a breakpoint at function module
ME_REL_GET_RESPONSIBLE
and see what happends in section
    CASE t16fc-frgwf.
* keine Ermittlung
      WHEN space.
        RAISE nobody_found.
* Ermittlung über T16fW
      WHEN '1'.
If using the T16FW-table, it should go to '1', otherwise it may that a user exit under '9' is used. So please check this.

Whether Item Level release is possible in PO [Purchase Order] ?

Hai SAP Gurus,
Whether Item Level release is possible in PO [Purchase Order] ?
Guide me..

Hi,
In std sap system its not possible...
You can release at header level only..
Recheck it from here:
SPRO >> MM >> Purchasing >> PO >> release procedure...
Here there is no option provided for item wise release,...

Item level release

Hi experts,
what is mean item level release and header level release in PR. How to configure it.
pls explain in detail
regards
arun

Hi,
Release Procedure
Use
You use this component if you wish to set up approval procedures for purchase requisitions or other purchasing documents. Under such a procedure, if a purchase requisition or external purchasing document fulfills certain conditions (e.g. the total order value exceeds $10,000), it has to be approved (by the cost center manager, for instance) before it can be processed further. This process of approving (clearing, or giving the "green light" to) a proposed item of expenditure is replicated in the SAP System by the "release procedure".
It is sensible to define separate release procedures for different groups of materials for which different departments are responsible, and to define separate procedures for investment goods and consumption goods.
Which Documents Can be Released (Approved)?
Release procedures can be defined for the following documents:
·     Purchase Requisition
·     The external purchasing documents purchase order (PO), contract, scheduling agreement, request for quotation (RFQ), and service entry sheet
Release Procedure for Purchase Requisitions
Two different procedures are available for requisitions:
·     With classification
With this procedure, requisitions can be released both at item level (i.e. item-by-item) and in total. The latter approach is also termed "overall release".
·     Without classification
With this procedure, requisitions can only be released at item level.
Release Procedure for External Purchasing Documents
External purchasing documents (i.e. purchasing documents other than requisitions) are released at header level. Item-by-item release is not possible. These documents can only be released using the release procedure with classification.

sasi

Processor of PR item level release strategy

Hi All,
I need to pass the Processor determined from an item level Purchase Requisition release strategy to a WF container. The event is RELEASESTEPCREATED in BUS2009. I have created an import element container called 'Processor' from ABAP dict. data type MEACTOR.
In the binding for the WF trigger RELEASESTEPCREATED I cannot bind the 'Processor' wf container to the Event Object.
What are the steps which I must follow to add the 'Processor' to the RELEASESTEPCREATED event?
The release strategy in SPRO for item level Purchase Req release is complete and the Set-up procedure for Workflow is complete.
Thanks
Mike

Hi,
Go to SWO1, enter BUS2009. Click on create subtype icon there. Then enter all fields as say ZBUS2009. Now save your new BO. then implement and release it , i.e;
Edit> Change Release Status> Object type> to implemented. Again Edit> Change Release Status> Object type> to Released. Then go to events in this objects. Click on event RELEASESTEPCREATED. Then click on event parameter and create a event parameter.
Hope this solves your problem.
Don't forget to delegate ZBUS2009 with BUS2009 in SWO6.
Let me know if you have any queries.

Raj

Item level security, workflow and tab problems

was wondering if someone could help us out with some problems we are having. We need to up and running over the next two days so anyone who could get back to us pretty quickly would be greatly appreciated.
We are actually having a couple of issues which all revolve around three
groups we have created (for simplicity we have only attached one user to each group). Here are the steps we took:
Problems adding content:
a) Added the three groups to the page group and gave them view access.
b) Turned on approvals and set group3 as the approver.
c) Added the three groups to the page and gave them view access.
d) In the page properties, I enabled item level security.
e) Added an item content area to the page.
f) Added three pieces of simple content
g) For content item1 I granted granted full access to group1(Own, manage, view), for content item 2 I granted full access to group2, etc.
h) WHen I log on as a user in group1 I only see content item1. HOwever, when I edit the page I find I cannot add any items as user1.
i) I went back to the page properties and changed the access of all three groups to "manage items with approval" but let the item level security as it was.
j) When I logged on as user1 I found I could see all items now when I should only have seen content item1. What the hell? Can anyone tell me what I did wrong?
Problems with item level security on tabs:
a) Repeat steps a) through d) above.
b) Create a content region and add three tabs: Home, Work, Life.
c) On the Work tab changed portlet region to item region.
d) Added three items with security exactly as I did above.
e) When I signed on as user1 I saw all three items when I only should have seen item1. What the hell?
f) I monkeyed around with the secutiry at the tab level but it didn't seem to make much difference. ANyone have any ideas what is going on here?
Thanks in advance.

Does the library have versions enabled? Also are these logins occuring within word/excel etc?
If there's multiple login prompts which occur even if entering valid credentials what does hitting escape (after the first prompt) achieve, does the document open anyway?
There's a situation where Office will prompt for credentials if you open a document when you've only got read access but there's a version history (to which you don't have access). This is to allow you to enter more highly privelidged credentials if you
want to.

PR release Workflow

Hi All,
Wanted to set up PR release workflow.
1. While having look at a template WS00000038, came to know that Agent assignment is not available for std template.
Whereas documentation says that rule 00000148 shuld be used for item level release workflow step.
Do i have to do the configuration of the template to include this and its binding inside workflow template?
2. Do i have to configure both the templates i.e for item wise release and Overall release?
Thanks in advance.
Regds,
Akshay

Hello Akshay
You might have to configure both workflows (and relevant customizing) for item-wise and overall release depending on your client's needs; if they need one, the other, or both, you implement that one. The standard workflow for overall release is WS20000077, just in case.
As for setting up the rule in the template, the agent assignment rule for task TS00007986 is not found in the workflow, but rather in the task itself. Check the task definition and take a look at the "Default Rules" tab of the task: you'll find rule 00000148 and its corresponding binding there.
Of course, if you want to tinker around with the standard configuration (which depending on your client's needs is a likely possibility), in my opinion it's good if you just copy the standard and adjust the copy.
Hope this helps!

Document Parking Workflow Responsible Agent for Two level release

Respected Members,
I have done all the configuration for document parking workflow.
i had said if the amount is greater than one lakh it should go two-level amount release.
My organisation hierarchy includes two positions,
SUB_HEAD with user xyz
HEAD with user ABC.
i have assigned the position HEAD with two level release workflow in spro.
When i am creating a parking document above one lakh, the work items are generating and it is coming
in the inbox for the both users ie xyz and abc.
MY requirement is that when xyz user execute the work item then only it should go to abc user inbox.
it should not go to abc inbox as soon as document is created.
Please give me the answer as soon as possible,
Thanks a lot.

Hi,
Have you checked out SAP help file for this workflow?

Item level Workflow Hold..

Hi,
i am working an item-level SC workflow
( WS14500015 ). i would like to know is there any way to hold the last step which in workflow template is using for create follow on document in backend system, until i will recieve some text data from thrid party system and needs to be restarting again the particular step which i hold after i recieved the text data from third party system.
give some hints to fix.
regards,
john.

Hello,
No change is needed in WS14500015.
WS10400051 is the final processing sub-workflow used by all standard workflows in SRM. Navigate through workflow builder, you'll find it is called in the line item app workflow: it's the final proccessing. Depending on the approval status of the SC, it updates its status and follow on document are created.
To work safely, first generate a new version for this workflow (WS10400051) before any change.
Idea is to extend bus2121: create a subobject and activate delegation, define a new event on sub object.
In wf definition, insert a event waiting step linked to the SC number and new event just before the task "set release status".
I guess that receiving the third party text is made in specific. Use the function module swe_event_create to genrate the new event of object bus2121 for the concerned shopping cart.
when this event will be generated, the final processing workflow will continue.
Hope it helps,
Pierre

If so, can you please explain how can this be configured.

For PR which is internal document both release types are applicable but in case of PO which is external document release type without classification is allowed

Re-starting Item Level Shopping Cart Approval Workflow

Hi All -
We are implementing WS 14500015 - the Item-based n-level approval workflow for shopping carts - for certain scenarios. In other scenarios we are using the overall approval workflow.
I need to re-start the item-level approval workflow for certain scenarios (change in price, change in quantity, etc) - not when any and all changes are made to a line item.
I was hoping to use the badi BBP_WFL_SECUR_BADI - which works great for the overall n-level shopping cart approval workflow. However, I can't seem to hit it appropriately for the item level approval workflow!
Does anyone know if this BADI or any other can be utilized for determining when to re-start the item-level shopping cart n-level approval workflow?
Thanks so much!
Abby

hi,
Have you implemented the badi BBP_WFL_SECUR_BADI ? for restarting the workflow?
Let me know?
Also it is possible to debug and see why the restart does not happen.
Also let me know wether the restart happens in other cases?

Release strategy - item level

hii all
can some body tel me , how and where we have to configuration for PR release strategy at item overview level.
And the same item level release strategy is posssible to configure for PO also??
If not y what is reason???
Thanks in advance
SAP-MM

hi

http://www.sapstudymaterials.com/2008/08/purchase-requisition-pr-release.html
>And the same item level release strategy is posssible to configure for PO also??
hi we cant have itemised release for PO
logically thinking PR can have multiple item and no fixed vendors and even not sure for placing order
so the realing person will decide for the item to be purchase so it has itemised relase
now in PO ,u will raise PO only when u have confirmed the purchase and the order will be for one vendor
so for ordering u have to relese the whole po,
or u can say u will create PO for all the items which have to procure so release will be for whole PO
go to spro>MM>Purchase Requisition>Release Procedure read the left side help for WITH and WITHOUT CLASSIFICATION
