Purchaser Assignment / PrGrp:Workflow problem:No approver found.WS14000044

Hello,
I am facing a problem concerning the Workflow WS14000044.
In the organizational structure using transaction 'PPOMA_BBP', I went
to the bottom left hand panel. I have assigned a purchasing group to a
purchaser as follow :
Right click on a "Purchasing Group" and I select "Purchaser Assignment"
menu.
Then the right hand panel changes from "Staff assignments"
to "Purchaser Assignment". I select a purchasing group and I assign
this purchasing group to a purchaser.
But when i create the SC, the system does not retrieve the 'approver'
for workflow WS14000044. Error mesage in approval preview : 'no approvers'.
Regards,
Lina

Hi,
Please refer to the following ---
This workflow is started for a shopping cart if the
shopping cart requires completion by the purchaser before
actual approval. You define the criteria used to decide that
further editing is required in the start conditions. Provided that
these criteria are fulfilled, this workflow is started after the
purchaser has edited a shopping cart (and occasionally in the case
of a change during approval). After the purchaser has edited
the shopping cart, the creator receives a work item and
the normal approval process can start.

NO Approved found for Purchase Requisition

HI,
we have a case, employee belongs to company B and raising the PR for company A. when he / she was initiating the PR. it says "NO Approved found for Purchase Requisition". we are following the Position Hierarchy. we have only one hierarhy for the two companies Can only please let me know how to sort the issue.
regards

Hi,
Are you using positional Hierarchy for approval for your Purchasing? Please check what is the final approver's approval limit/Position
and how much he can approve ?
You will get "No approver found" when system failed to find a approver based on the amount/position in your PR/PO.
Moreover, Please review the following MOS doc.

Does anyone have an idea of what the problem may be..
Thanking you in advance.

PR APPROVE 시 NO APPROVER FOUND 발생.

제품 : MFG_PO
작성날짜 : 2004-11-29
PR APPROVE 시 NO APPROVER FOUND 발생.
==================================
PURPOSE
PR Approve 시 'No Approver Found' 이 발생할 경우에 대한 검토.
Explanation
현상 :
Approve 권한이 있는 User 가 Submit 한 Requisition 이 "Incomplete" 상태
이고 Notification 에 "No Approver Found" 라는 메시지가 표시됨.
이 Document 를 다른 Approver 에게 Forward 하면 Approve 됨.
원인 :
이 Document 대하여, User 의 Approval Group 에 Account setup 이 잘못
설정됨. 만약, Account segment 가 하나라도 range 에 포함되지 않으면
Approval validation 이 발생하지 않음.
Example
(Purchasing -> NAV -> Setup -> Approvals -> Approval Groups)
1) User 가 Requisition 의 Approve 에 대하여 아래와 같이 Setup 됨.
ACCOUNT_RANGE = 01.0000.0.674100.3000.0000.0000 (Low)
99.9999.9.674200.7999.0000.0000. (High)
2) Document 의 requisition distribution 에 아래의 charge account 로
설정됨.
ACCOUNT = 01.1000.0.672000.4590.0000.0000
3) Charge account 의 4번째 segment - 672000 는 user 에게 허용된 account
range - 674100 보다 low range 에 있음.
여기서 4번째 segment - 672000 가 approval group 의 4번째 segment -
674100 보다 low range 에 있으므로 Approve 되지 않음.
Fix
이 문제를 해결하기 위한 설정 변경 :
1) Requisition 의 charge account 의 4번째 segment value 를 approve
가능한 range 범위로 변경.
2) 상기 설정후 Requisition Resubmit.
또는,
3) Approval group 의 account range 를 변경하여 document 의 charge
account 의 4번째 segment value 가 범위에 포함되록 변경함.
Reference Documents
Note 271635.1 - No Approver Found For Requisitions

Hi,
You mentioned : I have neither Supervisor nor Position assigned to the employee record.
Are you trying to approve the PO by yourself.. ?? If so.. Could you please check the "owner can approve" option is checked in Setup--> Purchasing --> Documents (Standard Purchase Order)...
Approval Workflow : "PO Approval"
Workflow Startup Process: "PO Approval Top Process"

Workflow for Document Approval

Hi all,
I'm a newbie to SolMan and is trying to figure out how to implement a workflow for document approval. A similar question has probably been posted in the past, but I can't find a definite solution, only some hints.
Basically, what we're trying to achieve is the following:
When a document is uploaded using SOLAR02, and the creator of the document changes the status to ready for sign-off, we would like to trigger a workflow which will send an email to a couple of persons who are responsible to approve the document. We already implement the digital signature, we just want to add an automatic email notification to be sent to the approvers.
Based on my research, it seems that this is not supported by SolMan and hence we have to do a custom development.
There's an object key called SOLMANDOC and we should raise an event (something like SIGNATURE_PROCESS_START) to send an email notification to the approvers. Can somebody confirm whether my understanding is right ? Does anybody know the name of the BADI that we can modify to achieve our goal ?
FYI, we're using SolMan Rel 7.01 SP 19.
Thanks in advance
Lara

Hi Phil,
I'm facing with problems with creating a simple 2 steps release strategy.
the problem is I cant approve the last step of the release.
This is what I did:
In spro Digital Signature->Signature strategy:
in "Define Authorization groups" I create this entries:
1. EING
2. VERIF
in "Define Individual Signatures" I create this entries:
1. S1   EING
2. S2   VERIF
in "Define Individual Strategies: I create this entries:
SigStrat: ZSIGSTR
Signature Method: R
Display comment: X Required
Display Remark: X
Display document: X
Verification: not checked
in "Assign individual signatures"
CtrIn Indiv.SIG.      AGrpDIG
1          S1               EING
2          S2               VERIF
Display Predecessor for Ctrln is 2 is 1
for "Display release statuses" an entry with one line with the value 1
and in "Display individual signatures there 2 entries 1 and 2.
in spro "Define Document status schemes"
stat scheme "ZSIGSTR"
4 status:
Status                 init status      Sequence    Low     High       lock         Signature schma End status         Cancel status
COPY_EDITING       X                  10           10       20          -
REVIEW                                     20           10        40        X                    ZSIGSTR         RELEASED    DECLINED
RELEASED                                30           10        40        X
DECLINED                                  40           10        20
I created two roles with object c_sign_bpr one with the value "EING"   and the other with the value "VERIF"
I assign this status scheme to a document type in my project.
I tried to release a document the first step was the author of the document move the status to "REVIEW" and I got a window that i need to enter my password and it worked ok.
The problem is in the second step that I need to release the document (now is in a REVIEW status) When I press on the icon in order to release I didn't get the option to release only to cancel there is no "V" option in the small window.
Can you please tell me if I did a correct customization? also can you tell me if my problem is maybe missing authorization? Can you direct me to reading material or to an example?
Best regards

WS14000044 Completion by Purchaser follwed by WS10000129 One Step approval

Hi Folks,
I have activated the WS14000044 Completion by Purchaser workflow and it works just fine.
My problem is that the approval WF WS10000129 One Step approval does not start automatically when the buyer has completed the SC.
The SC creator has to go to the SC and click on change and then order it before it goes to the approver.
Can this be true?
Thanks in advance,
Thomas

Workflow applet in approval preview (shopping cart) changed in SRM 5.0

Hi,
we have upgrade from EBP 3.0 to SRM 5.0.
The approval preview in the shopping cart transactions (f.e. BBPSC03) now shows only the approval state (in grahpic mode), not the step description from the workflow definition.
In EBP 3.0 was showed the step description.
How can we change the applet output ?

'Assign to Me' function for Approver

Hi! May I find out what is the purpose of the 'Assign To Me' button/function found on the Work Overview for shopping cart approval?
When I selected it, the workflow item just stay with the 'In progress' status. Does that mean if I have more than 1 approver assigned to this shopping cart approval and if I click on this 'Assign To Me' function, it will only be available for me to process?
Cheers!
SF

Edited by: SF on Oct 16, 2009 10:22 AM

Yes. That is correct.
If there are 3 approvers for the workitem, 3 approvers can see the workitem in his/her inbox at this point of time. Then you set the workitem "Assign To Me". That means you are going to handle this workitem but decision will be made later point of time. The workitem is not visible for other 2 approvers.

Problem in approval process

Hi
I have a problem in approval workflow in sharepoint designer.I
use the following action:
start Approval process on Current Item with "these users"
and I declare "these users" with workflow variable (for example: user 2)
but when I check the workflow logs I see these two messages:
Approval was started. Participants: user2
Task created for user1 on behalf of user2
user1 is the person who create the Item which result in workflow running.but I want to create the task for user2.
what did I miss?
Thanks in advance
Regards

Hi croute, here is the picture
According to the person who create the item I chose the approver and then start approval process,
but I don't know why the approval process assign automatically to person who create the item!
Thanks for your response and waiting for new one :)

LIBOVD ERROR - "validateContextToken: workflow session was not found for given context. Create a new workflow session with token"

Hello everyone,
I have the following scenario:
We're using "Oracle SOA Suite 11g 11.1.1.7.0" (Patched w/ 17893896) mainly for a BPM/Human workflow composite. Former, we were having the error bellow:
<Mar 16, 2015 1:13:03 PM BRT> <Error> <oracle.soa.services.workflow.query> <BEA-000000> <<.> Verification Service cannot resolve user identity. User weblogic cannot be found in the identity repository. Workflow Context token cannot be null in request.
ORABPEL-30511
When that error ocurred, no one was able to use the system (BPM/Human Workflow).
I opened an SR, and after some analysis from the support, it recommended me to set up "virtualize=true" in EM, and restarting the domain. Then it started logging the following:
connection to ldap://[10.200.10.57]:7001 as cn=Admin.
javax.naming.NamingException: No LDAP connection available to process request for DN: cn=Admin.
Looking up on support KB, I found this note Doc ID 1545680.1 and increased from Max size of Connection Pool 10 to 200. That did work successfully! Problem now is that the <SERVER>_diagnostic.log is being filled up with the following error:
[2015-03-31T16:03:46.421-03:00] [soa_server2] [ERROR] [] [oracle.soa.services.workflow.verification] [tid: [ACTIVE].ExecuteThread: '19' for queue: 'weblogic.kernel.Default (self-tuning)'] [userId: <anonymous>] [ecid: e0194e38aa6c9a2f:39fc1ff9:14c5def5247:-8000-00000000000a5653,0] [APP: soa-infra] <.> validateContextToken: workflow session was not found for given context.

One important point is that we're using only the embedded WLS ldap. So I am not 100% sure if we should be using the virtualize flag=true, once all docs I read point out that this should be done when using multi-ldap providers.
Also, I only got this error in the "diagnostic.log".
Although, no user has complained about using the system, I really want to work it out. Anyone has any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

I have moved your thread from Certification to SOA Suite to get proper assistance.
Thanks,
Lisa

Problem in Approving Requisition Request in MSS UWL

Hi,
I'm facing problem in approving requisition request sent through Manager in MSS UWL.
We have configured standard process HR_MSSRCF_REQUISITION with ISR scenario is SRQ3. Workflow is WS45600028
Case: When I successfully Check & Send Requisition Request form from MSS Recruitment, it is coming in Manager UWL.
But, when i open the workitem for approval it is not coming as a PDF form with Approve Button in the bottom (Standard). Instead, it opening as per the below screen.
Please help to resolve this issue.
Regards

You should be giving the process reference number or workitem ID in transaction hrasr_test_process.
Which release you are on , what is the SP level of component EA-HRGXX?
Further as per note 972322 - HR Administrator: Migration WD4A - the start process application has been migrated to WDA.
Check the UWL XML configuration to see if the config is as below for the approval task...
APPLICATION ASR_PROCESS_EXECUTE(For EhP4, otherwise application depends on the level of EA-HRGXX )
 DYNPARAM WI_ID=${item.externalId}
 NAMESPACE sap
 SYSTEM_ALIAS <use your system alias>
A sample XML is available with note - 1371626 - UWL Configuration for HR Administrator BP version 1.51.
This appears to me to be a XML configuration issue. Collaborate with your portal and UWL config consultant.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Sahir.

Purchase order release workflow - urgent

Hi friends
When iam creating purchase order it trigger the workflow WS20000075 for releasing purchase order in that purpose what can i do..
How can i set the Agents
How can i trigger the events - i think in that purpose using pftc we trigger the workflow.. so i need clear steps from beginning onwards..
my exact requirement
once i create purchase order, the workflow will be triggered..
after that the mail goes to the approver.. if he/she click that mail purchase order release statement want to be open.. after that he/she release purchase order it will goes to the next level..anyone give the step by step procedure..for that
Thanks
Gowrishankar

yes prabakar.. but iam confused..
You can get step by step workflow for PO using standard workflow
Release of Purchase Order :WS20000075
And for two levels of approvals you have to configure in SPRO the path is
Purchase Order:
SPRO> Material Management->Purchasing->/Purchase order-->Release procedure ---> Procedure with classification ---> set up procedure with classification ---> double click on Release strategies and Workflow.
If you don't know about this configuration, you have to confirm with your MM consultant.
after finish this iam triggering events using pftc
in that pftc iam choosing business object bus 2012 for po release..
i think thats enuf..
After that it is possible to trigger workflow.. when iam create purchase order..
Thanks
Gowrishankar

Dead Line Monetering in Purchase Order Release Workflow

Hi Experts,
I have activated Standard Purchase Order Release workflow and it works fine now i have a requirement of Dead Line monetering for 2 days. In Standard Release Activity TS20000166 if i give 2 days in Latest End.
Will it work in such a way that if the first approvar does not take any action for 2 day then it automatically esculates to the next person in the release strategy.
Or should i use Modeled Deadline for esculation to next Level.
Regards,
Hari

Hi,
If you just have 2 days on the latest end tab, the workflow will only send a deadline notification to the current agent and WILL NOT escalate.
You have to use modelled deadline and in that branch route the workflow to the next approver based on your agent determination rules.
