PR workflow (item level)

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.

  • N level workflow. item level approval

    Hello,
    How does item level approval work in N level workflow ?
    1) Suppose the shopping cart has 3 items then does the workflow proceed only after all the three approvers approve their items ?
    2) Does the approval workitem stay in the approvers inbox will the time all are approved ? and if yes does the approved workitem appears differently ?
    3) Does the approver see only his item or all other items too? if he does then are the other items greyed out?
    4) What happens if or more of the approvers changes the contents of the item or rejects the item? Does the entire shopping cart again goes to the requestor and what happens to the other approver workitems ?
    5) Is it possible to have shopping cart level approval workflows as well for N level workflow ?
    Where can I find this information in sap help?
    Kindly help its urgent !! thanks !!

  • 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 - Header vs. Item level

    Hello,
    I am looking for some documentation / list of pros and cons of implementing header level workflow vs. item level. I understand that item level is more difficult to implement, but what are the benefits.
    We are looking at two types of approval, financial approval and commodity based approval and I would like to understand more before making a decision.
    Many thanks,

    Hi,
    For your  requirement,you can go for N step HEader level SC  Approval Workflow.I have worked on a similar reqt and the agent determintation can be made flexible based on runtime values thorugh the BADi BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI.
    Advantages of header level WF is that its very flexible.Disadvantage is that some techincal problems require application of OSS notes e.g graphical Preview inconsistent.
    I have not worked on Item level WF so cant comment on that.For more info  ,pls refer the foll links:

  • Workflow for Changing Item Level Permission in SharePoint 2013 (Office365)

    I am using OOTB Tasks List in SharePoint 2013 (O365). Now my scenario is like this:
    I have two user groups: 1.Sales Managers 2. Sales Executives
    Sales Managers can create & assign task to Executive.  I want something like Sales Managers Can view all tasks (Which is by default view of tasks list i.e. perfact) but Executives can see only their tasks assigned to them. How can I achive this?
    Can I use WorkFlow for this to Change item level permission or to assign permission to assigned to user? or JS
    Can anyone have proper solution? thanks

    1. make 2 SharePoint group 1>Sales Managers 2>Sales Executives
    2. Show 2 WP of same task list in same page.
    3. Use Audience Target for Sales Managers Sharepoint group in first Webpart property. (All
    Iten view)
    4. Show "My Task" view (assign to =[Me]) Bottom WP for same task list and use Audience Target for Sales Executives. Or if you want it to see
    Sales Managers as well, the dont use any Audience Target.
    Bottom line - SharePoint group use in Audience Target will do the trick. OOTB

  • PO Approval Workflow on item-level?

    I have a requirement to implement an approval workflow when the price or cost center/internal order is changed on the purchase order.
    The problem is that as I see it, standard SAP only allows approval on header level for Purchase Orders.
    Is there a way to handle approval on item-level if for example the PO has 2 rows, we change the cost center on both these rows to different ones???
    Based on this cost center, the approval should then go to the cost center responsible and then his boss and so on based on the org-structure.

    Hi,
      Consider a example , you have a PO and this PO has three items IT1, IT2, IT3. Based on the cost center, you want to send the respective item for approval to the respcetive KOSTL manager .
    Desgin your workflow in this way.
    1. Design a background activity step in  and a BOR method where it returns you all the items  of the PO and store these items in a multiline container element in the workflow container.
    2. Now next to the above step include a [BLOCK step|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/cc/18a8f409a93749b10e8dd9f9d81797/frameset.htm] in the workflow and choose par for each option and pass the items stored multiline container element. The use of the block step is it dynamically creates a parallel branches based on the number of rows in the multiline container element you mapped to the block step.
    3. Now Inside the block step create another bor method and include a bacground activity step. Now in this BOR mehtod what ever the item you import try to determine the manager of the KOSTL(Cost Center.) and who ever is determined pass that user(s) name(s) back to the workflow container.
    4. Next to this step include a decision step and choose the recipient type as expression and pass the container element in which  the KOSTL managers are stored, in this way you can send based on the item cost center to its respective manager.

  • 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

  • AD-hoc approver n step item level shopping cart workflow

    Hi
    We are on latest version of SRM and using n step item level SC approval workflow.
    The scenario goes like this:
    -     Requester creates shopping cart and workflow goes for two step approval.
    -     In the approval preview the requester is able to see both levels of approvers, which is correct.
    -     Requester now selects second level approver and replaces him with a ad-hoc approver. WE DO NOT WANT THIS.  Requester should NOT be able to replace an approver determined by approval badi. However should be able to extend approval step with ad-hoc approver say third level approver a ad-hoc approver. Also he should be able to change AD-HOC approvers ONLY.
    Thanks
    Joe

    Jo,
      You may be able to achieve it in the BADI BBP_WFL_SECUR_BADI .
    You can use the Business Add-In (BAdI) BBP_WFL_SECUR_BADI to determine whether
    A shopping cart can be changed during the approval process
    The approval workflow restarts when changes are made to the document
    A reviewer/approver can be added or changedThese are the call scenarios (see import parameter SCENARIO).

  • 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?

    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.

  • 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.

  • SRM Item level Workflow

    Hi All Workflow Experts,
    I have started developement of Item level Approval WF in SRM.
    Can anybody help me what are the steps I need to follow for development.
    Currently I am able to get the approval step but Approvers are not coming. some step missing i guess.
    In the Item level WF I need to do following things
    1) first 3 levels will be the header level approval
    2) next 2 steps will be item level approvals
    And this workflow should have all the functionality of standard WF of SRM.
    I dont know how to achieve this. I am very new in WF.
    Any help will be awarded
    Thanks
    Smita

    Hello,
    First you can check the sample implementation to get start.
    Item level approval works with 3 tables that are sent to worklow instance each time the document (SC or PO) is changed (or created) :
    - "object" table that define the object to be approved and their criteria (3 possible)
    - "item" table that link item to approval object
    - "approval" table that contain that define for each approval level the approver and the object to be approved
    Stay close to the sample implementation to generate the 3 tables and it should be fine.
    Now, if all items are linked to the same approval object, it is like a header approval (for your first three steps).
    In the badi:
    An import parameter "approval_index" in the badi indicates you at wich step the workflow stands. Consider that that you only need to send the following steps including the current step (actual index).
    In general: check notes and make the system be very up to date concerning workflow correction

  • Workflows: How to send email to item level permission groups

    I used SharePoint Designer 2010 to create an impersonation workflow which changes (reduces) item level permissions to the item creator and 1-2 other Active Directory groups when an document is added to the library. There are about 26 permission combinations
    which are based on the document's properties.  So far, everything seems to be working correctly.
    My question: is it possible to send a reminder email to the item level creator and group(s) - EG 7 days after the item was added? Would this be included in the impersonation workflow or could it be performed in a separate workflow?
    In advance, thanks for suggestions!

    Hello,
    You can include the email notification in same email to send only one after 7 days. Use Pause for action and you can define the condition when you want to send email if any.
    If you want to send continuously reminder email after some period then you also need to create one more small WF with one condition which will hit first WF continuously until you meet your expectation.

  • Item level permission on workflow task List using sharepoint designer 2013

    Hello All,
    I have created a custom approval workflow. Workflow create a Task in Tasks List.  Now suppose A task is assign to user1. 
    User2 should not able to edit\approve\reject the item.
    How to give item level permission using SharePoint designer in SharePoint 2013 workflow.
    SharePoint 2013 workflow doesn't have impersonation steps also.
    Please suggest how to give permission on task list based on assigned To field.

    In order to change permissions on a list item you'd need a sharepoint 2010 workflow according to http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj728659.aspx
    Unfortunately this functionality is not available in SharePoint 2013 workflows :-(
    The impersonation step still exists, but it is now called "App Step" in the SharePoint Designer 2013 Ribbon. This step is disabled, though, until you activate a web site feature called "Workflows can use app permissions"
