Problem in invoice workflow

Hi Friends:
There is an invoice. Its completely approved through the workflow but still its not released from workflow. The last step is 'Release header & line item of MIRO.....'. When I see, it shows from WF-ADMIN....background job created...then its stuck....when i check in MIR4, there is a payment block on the invoice....the block is 'Workflow'. How to remove this block so that the invoice can be released for payment?
Thanks in advance.

Check the WF log, it seems that some background job it is trying to perform and not able to complete. May be authorization issue.

Wait statement stuck in Invoice workflow BUS2081

Hi,
I have a problem in invoice workflow where it sends a mail and waits for 8 Hours for GR to be created.
These steps are called in loop. After 8 hours it compares PO quantity with GR quantity and when GR is complete, it exits the loop. If GR is not complete till 120 hours (i.e. 5days) it sends mail to Superiors.
In order to wait for 8 hours I have a step with one line code.
WAIT UP TO 28800 SECONDS.
On some given dates, for all the workflows this step gets stuck and for more than a month it shows status In process in workflow log. On other days it runs fine.
Please help me find what could be the reason for this .

Hi Bhavin,
WAIT for 8 hours is a bad idea to start with. There are couple of other alternatives:
1) Configure an Event for GR Completion and have your workflow react to the event. You can use Modeled Deadline to send the email when the GR is not completed in 5 days. This would probably mean considerable change to your WF.
2) Use Requested Start for the GR completion check Step and Modeled Deadline to send the email when the GR is not completed in 5 days. You need to compute the Date & Time for the Requested End before the loop start and use the Expression Option.
For both the options, you need to have the Deadline monitoring job running.
If you want to continue with your WAIT UP TO 28800 SECONDS, you will have to ask you Basis folks to investigate your problem as this is not a Workflow issue.

Ramki Maley.

Non PO Invoice Workflow - Error while Posting Document

Hi Experts
Hope I am posting this in the right forum as I am new to SDN!
We have customized a multi-level non PO invoice workflow which triggers at the time of clicking 'Save as Completed' in tcode FV60.
It has been configured to automatically post the document once it is approved at all the required levels. However, the document cannot be posted even after it receives all levels of approval. The status shows as 'Complete' but the error message shown is 'No Amount Authorization for Customer/Vendor in Company Code' in the workflow screen (MSGID F5, MSGNO 155).
Now as I understand, this is the error for maintenance of user ID in tolerance groups. However, all user IDs have already been maintained and no matter who parks the document, the same error appears in the workflow screen.
We have no idea whether this is happening due to some missing config from FI side or WF side.
Regards

Hi
Go to Tcode: OBA3 Assign tolerance group under your company code and give all limits for each group. If you done this one your properly your problem should solve.

FI Invoicing Workflow

Hi,
I have implemented a FI Invoicing workflow which involves 3 levels of approval starting from document parking through TC: FV60 till document posting. And this is working fine. I have done configurations in SPRO like creating workflow variants and assigning to Company Code.
After this is successfull we have automated the document parking process also through another workflow like whenever a new invoice is scanned this will trigger a workflow based on the settings in soa0 transaction. Now the document scanning will trigger the Workflow and create a workitem to park the document. If the user selects to park the document workflow will load the TC: FV60 to park the document.
This workflow is working and a workitem will come to user if an invoice image is scanned to the system.
But the problem is that Switch Company Code option is disabled in the TC: FV60 which is loading from Workflow. But if u try to run the method to park the document externally, switch company code option is there in the TC: FV60.
Is this problem having any relation to the company code associated to workflow variant in the previous workflow.
Pls help me.
Regards,
Sheron

Hi Arghadip,
If i try to manually execute this Tcode: FV60, I will have authorization to switch Comapny code. Also if i execute the BOR method seperately then also i am having the authorization to switch company code. But through Workflow, it is not allowing me to switch company code.

Sheron

Endless Loop in Approval of FI Invoice Workflow

Hi Everyone,
I was having a problem with the workflow template WS90400009 - Approval of FI Invoice Workflow.
When the Proof of Performance approver is trying to approve/reject an invoice, the workflow is getting into an endless loop in the class method CL_SWF_RUN_WFM->CHECK_CB_IN_DEADL_BRANCH.
This did not occur previously in any of the FI approval workflows and neither is it affecting any other workflow in the system. How could this suddenly happen?
Eventually, the system times out and the workflow log shows "In Process"...but does not process further!
Thanks in advance for the help!

Hi Everyone,
Thanks for the replies.
We just corrected the issue with the OSS Note 935994 -
Symptom :
In some cases, a timeout that is triggered by an endless loop in the CL_SWF_RUN_WFM->CHECK_CB_IN_DEADL_BRANCH method occurs after you execute a work item.
The timeout only occurs for workflow definitions with nested loops.
This issue begun after some modifications were done in a workflow with modelled deadline.
All workflows were going into a "hang" state.
Thankfully, issue is now resolved.

Blocked invoice Workflow

Hi All,
I have a problem with Invoice blocked for Price reasons workflow,I have copied a Standard one and only changed the agent determination.
When the invoice is executed from the iinbox ,itgives 3 options
i.e 1) Change Purchase Order
2) Item list of price to be blocked
3) List of items not to be clarified,
The proble is selecting any of the above options does do anything..e.g is I select the first option the it displays an order to be changed but it is not editable and the same applies to the rest.
Is there a way in the workflow itself where I should make it to be editable on this step..or is there a SAP note that needs to be implemented to solve this.
Please advise.

Incoming invoice
Object type Bus2081 (Incoming invoice)
Workflow template: WS 20000397
The triggering event for the workflow template is IncomingInvoice.blockedPrice (Invoice item blocked due to price variance).

Problem in standard workflow of claims in ESS

Hi ,
I am functional consultant and I am facing problem in standard workflow of claims WS18900023 .
When approver clicks on approve button it gives message that ' Validation is succesful 'and it does not get approved.
When approver clicks on Approve button it should say that request has been approved and that workiten should go from his inbox but this is not happening .That workitem still shows in his inbox with same status of to be approved .
Kinldy help in resolving this issue .
Thanks in advance
Archana

Hi Archana,
I assue that you have activated the BADI GET_NEXT_APPROVER.
Follow these steps.
=> Request for claims from portal.
=> Then in SAP run the T-code HRPBSIN_AC_ACRP and check the request status. It should show as To Be Approved.
=> Then logon as manager and approve the request from UWL.
=> Now agian in SAP run the T-code HRPBSIN_AC_ACRP and check the request status. It should show as Approved. ( If your maintaining Multi level approval process status will be Partially Approved).
=> Once it shows status Approved, Run the T-code HRPBSIN_AC_INFU, it will show the list of requests to be update in IT0015.

Shankar.

Facing some problem while configuring Workflow Manager 1.0.

Hi,
I am facing some problem while configuring Workflow Manager 1.0. in my farm.
Scenario is,
I have installed and configured workflow manager in my farm, it was working well with no issue. But one of team member played with AD and deleted Farm administrator's entry from AD by mistake. So suddenly workflows get affected and stopped working.
Then I added administrator entry in AD, uninstalled the Workflow Manager and installed it again. But now while configuring workflow manager I am facing some issues that "Failure to adding user in BUILTIN\Administrative group. Please add it manually"
And after sometime it shows another error message that, "Starting service Service Bus Massage broken failed: Timed out has expired, the operation has not been completed"
If I go for services then "Service bus Message broker" service is not running properly (Its status is just showing "Starting") and don't starts.
I have also added the user in BUILTIN\Administrator, IIS_IUSER, WSS_WPG group of the machine from computer manager - user and groups.
Also given permission to databases, and assign role of sysadmin and dbcreator to user
I also tried following steps
1) Stop all services associated to workflows
2) Uninstalled workflow manager
3) Deleted all databases associated with workflows
4) Installed workflow manager and tried to configure.
But showing same error.
If I use another SharePoint server farm to configure workflows, there I am not getting first error of adding user to BUILTIN\Administrator group. but second error remains same.
We having SQL server and Active directory at another machine and FARM at another machine, if I use local admin for configuration of the workflows (as local admin can start any services) but entry of local admin is not Active directory so can not assign SQL's
sysadmin, and dbcreator role to local admin.
I am attaching snapshot of error for better understanding.
Your help will be very precious to me.
Thanks,
Rajesh

Check to see what the service accounts are being used for these Workflow Manager 1.0 services:
Service Bus Message Broker
Service Bus Gateway
Workflow Manager Backend
All of these should be running and your workflow service account should be running all of these. If any are still configured under the old service account, they'll need to be updated. Next, check to see what service accounts have access to the
Workflow Manager 1.0 databases:
SbGatewayDatabase
SbManagement
SbMessageContainer
WFInstanceManagement
WFManagement
WFResourceManagement
The Workflow Manager service account should be mapped as the DBO for all of these. if any are still configured under the old service account, they'll need to be updated.
Given the complete loss of the original workflow service account, and the resultant impact on security configuration throughout the workflow farm, I would recommend performing a re-installation. Do it thus:
Launch Workflow Manager Configuration Wizard
Select the Leave Workflow Manager Farm
Stop all workflow services (see above list)
Repeat steps 1-3 for each instance of Workflow Manager 1.0 Server installed.
Delete all Workflow Manager databases (see above list).
reboot.
Start new installation.

Problems with Automatic Workflow Customizing

Hi!
I am having problems with Automatic Workflow Customizing (SWU3). I am trying to execute "Configure RFC Destination" manually. I receive the message "Synchronization of passwords failed".
We are using CUA and it is therefor not possible to create the user from SWU3 which means that WF-BATCH has been created in CUA with a pw which is then filled in by me when executing "Configure RFC Destination".
WF-BATCH has authorization SAP_NEW, SAP_ALL
My user also has SAP_NEW and SAP_ALL and usergroup SUPER.
Does anyone know what might be the problem?
Sincerley
Anders Öhrling

Hello Anders,
Check if the user is locked in SU01. Then check if your user has been created in CUA.
It is recommended to delete WF_BATCH. The system will auto create the user ID WF-BATCH and synchronize the password.
Do let me know if your problem is resolved.
Thank you.

AP Invoice workflow - When no rules matches in the AME

Hello,
I have a small Issue with AP Invoice Workflow.
AME Setup:
1.IF supplier amount > 600 get approval from approval-grp.
Data 1:
1.Create a invoice with amount 700 and distributions with 700 amount.
2.Validate Invoice
3.Intiate Approval using actions "Intaiate Approval"
Able to get the notification and able to track workflow process in workflow Admin
Data 2:
1.Create a invoice with amount 500 and distributions with 500 amount.
2.Validate Invoice
3.Intiate Approval using actions "Intaiate Approval"
4.Invoice shows status *'Intiated'*
Not able to see workflow process in Workflow Admin and no updates in View Invoice Approval History.
Any idea on why this is not working will be of great help!
Cheers.

Hi,
As per my knowledge, if rules are not matching, then status would be "Not Required" and not "Approved" after initiating approval.
I was testing some scenarios with AME involving "Prepayments" alone. Hence, if i create an Invoice, then Status would be "Not Required".
Also, pls login to Sysadmin and check status of the Workflow.
Also, if AME is not able to find an approver, then the notification will be forwarded to the "Administrator Approver" defined in Configuration Variables Window.
There we provide the UserId of Administrator Approver. Generally, if nothing is specified, Sysadmin would be the Administrator Approver.
Is there any other condition which you are using apart from >600 ?
