Pre trip approval workflow

Hi Experts ,
I am working on Pre trip approval workflow.
Functionality : Employee signs in the portal and send the request for trip plan . Manager has 3 options
1. approve 2. reject 3. send back for correction .
Issue :
approve and reject is working fine . but when the manager sends back for correction it is not going to employees inbox.
it goes back to managers inbox
2. if we check the workitem in manager inbox , he has three options 1. change 2. delete
neither delete nor chnage is working .
Please suggest
thanks in advance

hi Sankar ,
thanks for the reply .
I am using BUS2089 for the workflow .
The issue is when manager clicks on send back option the manager and employee both recieve the workitem .
But i guess only employee should be able to recieve the workitem.

  • Trip approval workflow on different cost centers.

    Hi Experts,
    I have a business case that trip shall be approved by Cost Center HOD's (Cost center Owner).
    For Example:
    Case 1: if an employee is going on business trip and charging is on his master cost center. Then his approval shall be done by his HOD or Cost center HOD (Stnd Solution)
    Case 2: If an employee is going on business trip other than his master cost center, then approval shall be required from his Cost center owner (HOD).
    Case 3: if employee is going on such trip where his charging shall be charged on Different Cost Centers (Master Cost Center + other cost center's) . Firstly approval shall be made his Master Cost Center (if available) then approval shall be required for all cost center in-charges.
    Assume that there is one to one relationship between cost center and Org unit.
    Please suggest some solutions for case 2,3
    Thank you in advance!

    Hi Muhammad,
    As suggested by Thomas, you can use Rules to determine the agent who should get the workitem for approval.
    Within the rule you could embed a FM wherein you could write your logic to determine the appropriate approver based on the trip data and the cost center of the user creating the trip.
    Hope this helps!

  • Trip Approver without checking workflow table

    Hi,
    I'm running an ABAP query that returns trip expenses. I've some code in it that searches the swwwihead table for the trip number and from there I get agent who approved the trip. however, one business unit doesn't use workflow so their trip details aren't in swwwihead.
    Does anyone know where I can get the trip approver from?

    Hello,
    "After the last user approves the travel request, there are background jobs to update ceratin infotypes.When we see the Log . It shows the background jobs under the last user's name instaed of WF-BATCH."
    Sure, it can do that for the first background job, but not for any after that. Not that I've ever seen.
    I can't imagine auditors would care about background jobs being run under usernames - what ends up in the data tables is more important.

  • OIM approval workflow creation

    Hi Gurus,
    Is it possible to give permission to a group in the OIM to be able to create/manage Resource's approval workflow? If so, what I should do? Which permission are needed?
    Or just system administrator is able to do that?
    The group was created just to perform that activity and it can't have another privileges.
    I would appreciate any help.
    TiA,

    In pre 11g there is no really good way to do this as approval workflows are defined in the design console. One of the things I am excited about 11g is that the approval workflow is moved to BPEL (http://iamreflections.blogspot.com/2010/09/oim-11g-approval-workflow-orchestration.html)
    If you need to support this in pre 11g you can either try to configure the design console to just have the approval workflow menu item. i haven't tried that but it does not look simple or straightforward to me.
    If the approval workflows are simple you could try to go over the custom resource object or custom menu item road. A third option would perhaps be to let them define the workflows in a free standing tool and then parse in the changes and use the OIM API to update the approval workflows.

  • Trip Approver

    Hi,
    This is related to Travel Expense Management in ESS/MSS.
    We don't have any workflow set up for trip approval. Rather it is done through POWL of portal.
    We are receiving lot of queries regarding the name of the approver with whom expense claims are pending. (something like SWI5 in workflow environment)
    In this case how can we see the list of expense claims waiting for approval in the approvers POWL / UWL.

    there is no such report, ie use prap etc
    let me explain
    standard report that would allow values to return on manager trip
    approval, in fact in all the standard reports, it is only possible
    to report on employee number selection or else trip selection. The cost
    centre selection screen of this report is for the employee selection
    according to cost center in infotype 1 and not the trip selection
    according to cost center in table PTRV_SCOS. This report is not
    based on the logical database PTRVP (travel) but on the logical
    database PNP (personal admin). So the logical database for travel is
    not touched and for this reason you cannot using the standard delivered
    reports use them in the manner of manager with specific trip approval
    requests.
    You would need to make your own adhoc query here, perhaps based on
    the PTRV_SCOS or on the rpr_trip_cost_assignment_data or PTRVP.

  • Want to deactivate T&E (Trip Approvals) workflow for a Personnel number

    Hi Team,
    We have a requriement to deactivate T&E (Trip Approvals) workflow for a Personnel number, Basically he is a director of the company who doesn't want to and allow his Assitant to do it on his behalf with out him receiving the approval.
    Currently we are following the below process
    Trip created by Employee --> Checked and Approved by Manager --> If not approved by 5 days, it will go to Manager's Manager (Senior level).
    Now for this specific case, we need an exception process as below, where we need to deactivate the Workflow only for Director, if not possible then the trip's Wrokflow can be generated as below.
    Trip created by Director -->  Approved by Assistant.
    Please guide me.
    Regards,
    Sandeep

    Hi Sandeep
    A quick and dirty approach is to set a start condition to check the employee Personnelnumber<> Director's personnel number.
    However, if this personnel number is changed in future then a workflow change will be required.
    Chances are less that the org unit "Number" will not change, assuming that the "Director" position in your setup is heading the whole company (the parent org unit (there is none above). So, best is to check if the triggering personnel number is NOT the HEAD of the Org Unit XXXX (the XXX org unit is the company - top most org unit)...provided that "Head of Org Unit" is marked in your org structure.

  • SharePoint Approval Workflow using SharePoint Designer in SharePoint Foundation 2013

    I am unable to do SharePoint Designer workflow for approval process and I didnt get any Approval process in Actions in SharePoint designer Workflow also I don't find workflow features in Site collection features SharePoint 2013.
    Even I am not able to do simple Out of the box Approval Workflow.
    Kindly help me with this

    Unfortunately, Out of the box workflows are not available in SharePoint foundation 2013, you need at least the standard version of SharePoint 2013.
    You can still create .Net Workflows using the 2010 plateform.
    Take a look at this great comparative between the three versions of SharePoint 2013 :

  • Setting up Sharepoint 2013 approval workflows depending on field value

    Dear Microsoft Support,
    I am still relatively new to Sharepoint-Infopath and would need help with setting up workflows for a requisition form I am creating. I have designed and created a form using Infopath 2013 and have successfully created the link
    to have the data uploaded into my Sharepoint Server 2013 library. This form's purpose is to have our users make supply requisitions from the Warehouse department. We are a school, therefore, there are numerous different departments with different approvers.
    My goal now is to setup the approval workflows using Sharepoint Designer 2013. The complication now is that only certain people need to approve the requests, depending on the department selected. For example, I am in the IT department, if I put a field's value
    as "IT" the form will be sent to the IT department manager prior to going to the Warehouse department for processing. If the user chose "English", the form will be routed to the English department head for approval. What are the steps that
    I would take to have that kind of customization? How do I setup approval workflows in Sharepoint Designer 2013 to meet that?
    I have tried searching for solutions over the web, but all of them are too generalized and would not be related to my case in terms of different approvers depending on the different departments in our school. Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks. Jason

    I would create a second SharePoint list that is set up with two columns. The first column is Title (which is a default column) and the second column is 'Person or Group' column and name it 'Approver'. Then enter the department in the title field and select
    the person who needs to approve that department's forms in the 'Approver' field. Use this list and pull in this information in the InfoPath form by creating a data connection to the newly created list and set up the filter to only pull
    back the information where 'Title' = 'Department'. After this information is pulled into your form, store the approver information in a hidden field in the InfoPath form and use that field throughout the workflow.
    I know this is a very brief explanation so let me know if you need more information.

  • Approval workflow in SharePoint foundation 2010

    Hello Experts,
    I'm using SharePoint foundation 2010. Can someone help me understand the procedure for creating the approval workflow for a doc library using the SharePoint designer 2010. It would be great if you can guide me the step by step procedure for setting up this
    workflow.
    Thanks. 

    Hi rebel537,
    As you described, you are using SharePoint Foundation 2010. There is no “Start approval process” action when you edit SharePoint Foundation 2010 workflow in SharePoint
    designer 2010.
    I suggest you using “collect data from a user” action instead of “start approval process” action to complete the approval task. There is a demo for your reference.
    1.  
    Open the SPD, navigate to the workflow edit zone. Select “collect data from a user “action.
    2.  
    Click data, in the pop-up window, click next and enter the task name for the approval workflow.
    3.  
    Click next, define the fields for the task, for this demo, there has a field “approval result”.
    4.  
    Then click finish.  Back to the workflow edit zone, click user, in the pop-up window, select the user for the task then click finish ,back to the workflow edit zone.
    5.  
    Add a condition (if any value equals value) after the action.
    6.  
    Click the first value, and then click Fx, there goes to a pop-up window, enter as below.
    Data source:  Association: Task List
    Field from source: Approval Result
    Field: ID
    Value:  Variable: collect
    7.  
     Set another value to “Yes”, add the action” set workflow statue”, set it to approval.   Add an If-Else branch, set the workflow statue to reject.
    8.  
    Publish the workflow, and use it for the approval purpose.
    Thanks,
    Simon

  • FI Upload file (Approval Workflow)

    Hi All,
    Need some assistance:
    Currently our company has a standard approval workflow built.  So when we receive an invoice without a PO, we manually post the invoice to a GL & Cost Centre.  Once the invoice is coded, It’s then sent to the GL owners to approve using the workflow currently in place.  All this works perfectly fine.
    My issue is FI Upload files……. As Upload files contain several GL accounts – we are currently attaching a manual email approval from the approver to the file upload so the Accounts Payable department could post without any further approvals in Workflow as an email approval is sufficient.
    We would like to build the same workflow approval cycle that we have already in place for Fi Invoices.
    Note – an upload file come in with 10 different GL accounts ( ideally we don’t want to send it to 10 different approvers) as this will slow down the process, so I was wondering if there is a better solution that you could share to eliminate the upload going to 10 approvers.
    Any Suggestions are greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

  • In search of assistance learning how to modify the mail message from an out of the box SP2010 approval workflow.

    So, I have found the article
    http://punaro.com/2012/01/derek/modifying-a-sharepoint-2010-workflow-email/comment-page-1/ which appears to walk through the process of modifying an out of the box workflow's mail message.
    However, there is a basic problem that I run into before I get started.
    I am logged into the system as a regular user (ie not a farm admin, etc.).
    I do, however, have full control on the site on which I am working.
    I create a custom list.
    I create a simple one step approval - sharepoint 2010 out of the box workflow.
    I start SharePoint designer and give it the URL of the list. It opens up and I see the various objects on the left side of the screen.
    I click right on the Workflows object - which is where the article says I will find the ability to copy and modify the workflow.
    All I see is "open", "open in a new tab" and "Pin".
    I selecdt open in a new tab - and I get a blank screen labeled workflows that says "There are no items to show in this view".
    So, I click on Lists and Libraries, then on the name of my custom list.
    When the list displays, the Workflows section of the page has a "Modified Workflow" displayed.
    When I right click on it, no menu is shown. When I click on the modified workflow, I get the workflow settings page for that workflow.
    I am trying to figure out how to create the copy of the workflow so that I can modify one of the mail messages in SharePoint designer.
    Is there someone who has some advice on how to find this copy and modify option?  Or perhaps a web site, web forum, article series, or book covering the topic?
    Thank you! 

    Hi lwvirden,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to modify the OOB approval workflow in SharePoint Designer.
    After opening the site in SharePoint Designer, just click Workflows in the left panel and then the workflows in the site will load in the right part.
    If you want to copy and modify the OOB approval workflow, then you need to right the approval workflow
    Approval – SharePoint 2010 under Globally Reusable Workflow. After that you will see the
    Copy and Modify button.
    Best regards.
    Thanks

  • Trying to set up an out of the box SP 2010 approval workflow that doesn't generate warnings or errors

    I have a custom list for which I want an approval workflow.  There is only going to be one stop for the approval - creating an item is a request to a person for a new code to be created. 
    If I do not turn on content approval, then I get the message:
    The workflow could not set content approval status. Enable content moderation for this list and run the workflow again.
    When I turn on content approval, then when the users go to the custom list to create an item, they see this message:
    Items on this list require content approval. Your submission will not appear in public views until approved by someone with proper rights.
    Surely I am missing something obvious. I just want a standard SP 2010 form without warnings to gather info from the user, then to create a workflow task that sends a person an email that they need to approve or reject the request.
    The second message is going to cause questions from the users. The person who has to approve the tasks wants to be able to see what requests are awaiting approval vs approved vs rejected.
    Is this something that is not doable in SP 2010?

    the "Approval Process" step is designed for manipulating the "Moderation Status" (Content Approval status) of a list item... What you are seeing is DESIGNED behavior.
    When Content Approval is enabled, content changes are not made public until they have been approved. The Approval workflow sends the email to a manager, who is supposed to approve or reject the change.
    If Content Approval is DISABLED, there is no point to the workflow.

  • Out of the box approval workflow suddenly failed on start (retrying)

    SharePoint 2010. I've been using out of the box approval workflow for several month now. I did some minor changes to it, like to who and when emails should be send, but that's all.
    Then out of a sudden it stopped working. New request status is "Failed on start (retrying)". Sometimes (!) status is "In Progress", but no tasks are created. In both cases there is nothing on workflow history and error report is also empty
    (it even cause an error "Report contains no data").
    I'm sure that I didn't change anything in a workflow. The only think that I changed was an InfoPath form, but I only added there field "Created By", so I would see in calendar later who created this request. I couldn't see how this might affect workflow
    process.
    I'm confused as I don't even know where to start searching for the solution. Why this might happen? Any ideas are very welcome!

     In my list I have a multiple choice field which is not required. When it was
    blank my workflow was failing on start! This field was not involved in a workflow directly, I included it only in the email to approver. When I deleted it from an email everything was fine.
