Purchase order workflow issue

Hi All,
A PO is created and rejected by a user in user decision step.The workflow will end.If the PO is changed(amount) again,the release strategy is triggered for the same user.But the workflow is not triggering.If the release strategy is for a different user,its triggering the workflow.I have used a fork inside which 1 parallel branch contains a wait for significantly changed event & another branch contains the user decision step,po release step & rejection reason scenario.
Please refer the thread below.
PO Release Strategy Issue

Hi,
This is not workflow issue(work flow is different term)
It seem problem of BADI (program written for creation of purchase order based on sales order)
Take help of ABPer so he/she can solve this issue

Purchase Order Workflow - getting de-activated

Hi All,
We have a Purchase Order workflow that has been working well for quiet some time now. Over this weekend, we installed Enhancement Packs 1 to 3 and in the midst of testing in QA, I have noticed that, each time a PO workflow gets triggered, it de-activates the workflow causing other instances of the workflow to not be triggered.
Each time, I have to go and re-activate the workflow.
Has anyone faced such an issue and if so, what did you do to prevent them occuring.
Thank you,
Satish

I think the person who is creating the PO do not have the Proper authorization hence this deactivating. This deactivating thing can be avoided by going to SWE2 and changing the Error on Feedback field to Do not change Linkage. I hope this will solve your issue. You can also try to find the event that have not triggered from Event Queue SWEQADM
Thanks

Error in Purchase Order Workflow

Hi,
I am facing an problem in Purchase Order Workflow. We are working on ECC6.0 Version. I activated the PO workflow WS20000075 (BUS2012) for the PO release strategy. I assigned an user for the task "Release Purchase Order effected" that is step 000107 and after that I deassigned that user from that step.
Now I am facing a problem, that the workflow is getting deactivated and unable to go further because it is getting an error in resolving the agent at that release effected step even after I deassigned the user. Every time I need to go to type event linkages to activate type event for the workflow.
The error it is raising is SWF_RUN 544.
So can anyone suggest me some solution for this and highly appreciated for the quick response.
Thanks & Regards,
Ramesh S

Hi Krishna,
Thanks for the reply. But here I donot want the agent to be assigned to that step. I already deassigned the agent from there but still it is giving me the error saying that unable to resolve the agent.
Thanks & Regards,

Purchase order workflow generating mails to invalid peron for one plant

Hi,
I have a situation, where the user is receiving workitem mails to approve to outlook, even though he is not an approver. This is the case with only one plant. One more point is even in non-PO workflow, he is receiving the woritem mail execution mails, and plant is same as in PO workflow. Can anyone explain, where I can find the plant and this user relation and how it is happening.

Hi,
Check wrong user ID assigned release code in basis side in authorization(SU01 & PFCG) and also check wrong user ID assigned release code to following path:
SPRO ---> MM -> Purchasing- > Purchase Order- > Release Procedure for Purchase Orders- > Define Release Procedure for Purchase Orders--- > Workflow ---> Here against each release code assign OT as US and respective User ID's for Release

I have Configured MM Purchase Order release procedure with Workflow.
Total three Release Hierarchies i.e. Buyer, Manager, director
Workflow is working fine and notifications are coming to SAP Business Work place (inbox)
I have added send mail step in my workflow to forward the mails form SAP Business Workflow to Lotus Notes.
I maintained the following binding in send mail step.
WORKFLOW.........................STEP u201CPO RELEASE PROCEDURE TO USERu201D
.............................................&EXPRESS&
G.......................................... &TYPEID&
&_WF_INITIATOR&.................&ADDRESSSTRINGS&
&_ATTACH_OBJECTS&..........&ATTACHMENTS&
&PURCHASEORDER&...........&PURCHASEORDER&
Iu2019m facing the following two issues:
1. Workflow is placing the mails correctly in SAP inbox, but mail is being sent to Workflow Initiator not Receiver.
Example:If Buyer releases the PO, workflow notification is going to Manager inbox, but mail is being forwarded to Buyer's email ID.
How to fix this problem, please suggest.
2. Attachments (I want to send sap GUI exe) are not going to lotus Notes, just plain mail is going to Lotus Notes.
Please suggest how to fix these problems.
Any immediate help would be highly appreciated.

Purchase order status issue

Hi Everyone
I am having an issue with the status of Purchase order. When the Purchase order has single account assignment, everything is fine. But when I create a purchase order with multiple account assignment, the first line item is correct but when I ad second line, the still to deliver quantity gets added correctly but the amounts only reflect the recent item and not the previous one.
For example:
Item 10            Quantity 10
Item 20            Quantity 10         CC xxxx         GL account 666666
                                                   CC yyyy         GL account 666666
Status:    Ordered        20              200
                Still to deliver 20             100
Please help me with this issue.

Purchase Order Workflow message for previous level approver

Hi folks!!
We are implementing PO workflow through which we want to notify the next level releaser as well as we also want to notify the previous levels releaser as well as Purchase requisition creator (if PR has been used as reference document to create PO).
I have already successfully implemented the workflow, in which next level of approver gets the notification in his/her SAP Business Workplace as soon as the PO gets approved by the previous level.
But my requirement is on final approval of PO, notification should also send back to the previous levels approver of PO and Requisition creator.How can I achieve it, please help.
Best regards

Hi,
A check can be made during final level of approval for which e-mail will get triggered to the previous approver and the requisitioner. you would need to provide a Logic to your developer with the message body whihc will trigger an e-mail during final approver and mail recipients will be the previous approver and the Requisitioner which can be picked from Line item in Purchase Order.

Excise duty condition type and Purchase Order Print Issue

Dear Friends,
We have a issue related to Purchase order print out.
We are maintaining TAXINN.
We have implemented CIN and we are maintaining Excise Conditions i.e. Basic Excise in JMOP
In FV11 we are maintaining values for JMOP with plant and material Group combination.
In Purchase Order Tax calculation is happening correctly.
But issue is to find the value of taxes for Purchase Order Print.
We are using function module CALCULATE_TAX_FROM_NET_AMOUNT
and passing values of Company Code, Country, Currency, and Base amount to get the entries in condition types.
But we are not getting any entry even after passing the values.
How we can get these values in JMOP.
Regards
Kant

Why do you want to calculate the taxes during the PO Print when you are getting correct values in PO itself?
Modify your print program with pulling values directly from EKPO/ EKKO Tables and display it to Spool.

Purchase order locking issue

Hi ,
We are processing IDoc. The IDoc FM does GR of STO by using MIGO transaction via BDC , then FM also does GR of STO Delivery number by using VL02N transaction . MIGO transaction is successful but while doing GR of STO Delivery number via VL02N we are getting an error like ' Purchase order XXXXXXXXXX is currently locked by user XXXXXX .
This happens if we process the IDoc in background . If I process the IDoc in foreground by putting breakpoint at MIGO and VL02N , it executes successfully .
I feel it is a locking issue . I tried using FM DEQUEUE_ALL , MM_DEQUEUE_DOCUMENT after MIGO but it did not work out .
Please suggest for any pointers on this locking issue .
Regards,
Kiran.

Forget about WAIT statement.
Use:
set update task local.
...before starting MIGO.

Purchase order idoc issue

Hi,
I am facing a issue with an inbound purchase order change IDOC (message type: PORDCH).
I am getting the following error: FM VENDOR_MASTER_DATA_SELECT_15 ; no partner functions found for vendor VENDOR_MASTER_DATA_SELECT_15 1.
The vendors are configured such that they dont need a partner function. The suprising part is that the same message type idoc from the same vendor got succesfully posted a few days back and a few days after the issue was found, which means the error doesnt occur every time.
Any input is highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Aparna.

Hi Aparna,
I want to make changes in an existing PO through an inbound idoc. I am using idoc type PORDCH01 and message type PORDCH, process code BAPI. But I am getting an error "Characteristic does not exist in operating concern".
Can you please explain how u are using idoc type PORDCH01??
Thanx in advance,

Activating conditions for Purchase Order workflows in EBP

Dear SRMer's,
I am facing the following problem:
System Info :SRM Server 5.5, ECC 6.0
Scenario 1:
All start conditions for Purchase Order in SAP Business Workflow are activated.
I created a direct procurement shopping cart (DP) in SRM browser and ordered it, then I logged in as proffessional purchaser, changed the Price and processed the DP PO.
When Ordering, the follow on Documents are created, but says the PO is waiting for approval. When I check for this PO in the Backend R/3 system in the Me22n (Display PO changes), I don't see the PO.
Scenario 2:
All Start conditions for Purchase Order in SAP Business Workflow are de-activated
I created another direct procurement shopping cart (DP2) in SRM browser and ordered it, then I logged in as proffessional purchaser, changed the Price and processed the DP2 PO (Status is held).
When Ordering, I get the Warning message, no workflow found, contact system administrator.
Please advice what needs to be configured for the PO to be ordered successfully.
Thanks in advance
Raj

Hi,
In your scenario 1, if system is saying that there the PO has to be approved, it means that you have managed the user that will receive the workitem..
Activating all PO WF is not a solution as in standard there are two many cases activated (amount, role, limit...)
I propose you to first activate only the 0 step WF and to overwrite the code inside
Just code that every PO modification should trigger O step WF thus it will be more simple to test it.
Later on, if you want to implement more complex starting conditions, you just have to modify the WF content...
Kind regards,
Yann
