Query: Beginner's Question: Notification on Approval

Hi All,
Iam new to workflow.
As a subordinate, I have created an absence notification.
With superior's loginid, I have approved the same.
But no notification message is sent to the subordinate's inbox that the absence notif. is approved.
But I see the step 'Send mail after approval' with the expression &_WF_INITIATOR& in WS30000015
Any reason why?
Thanks,
Prasanthi.

Hi,
Is your workflow is active? Also check the event linkage is active or not in SWEC.
Go to SWU0 and enter your business object and event and execute.
SWi1 used to check the workflow log.
Thanks.

  • Question regarding PO approval

    Hi All,
    I have a question regarding PO approval.
    I know we can do the delegate at the application level, but if I grant a read-only access of my outlook inbox to person1 and person1 accept a notification, is there a way, at the application level, to know that it's person1 who accepted the request and not me?
    I guess with the NID, Oracle knows the email was sent for approval to me and will be accepted by me, even if person1 accepted it?
    In the workflow inbox, I can see it was person1. But I want to know at the application level if there is anything that can be done to know it was person1.
    Do not hesitate if I am not clear.
    Thank you~

    It is not possible.
    When you grant someone access to your outlook, it is as if the person is sitting in your chair and clicking on the notification.
    Oracle has no way of knowing it was you or someone else.
    Hope this answers your question,

  • Notifications to Approver

    Hi,
    Is the requestor the only person who gets the notifications (upon PR approval or when an invoice comes in)? Would it be possible to get the same notifications to Approver as the requestor?
    Thanks,

    No.
    You will have to write a custom alert or a custom notification or you will need to modify the workflow.
    Hope this answers your question,

  • How to send a group notification in approval process?

    I'd like to send a group notification in approval process, so as to tell them that they hava pending tasks in OIM.
    As if the out of the box does not support sending an email to a group of users. I have written the custom code
    to implement it, but I don't know where should I attach the adapter/event handler in the approval process.
    Any suggestions will be helpful! Thanks!

    Hi,
    I you can attach the adapter to to approval task as you attach adapter to other process task.If you are writing task assignment adapter then you can also attach this adapter in assignment tab.

  • Beginner font questions

    These are some beginner font questions if someone has the time/patience.
    I've never paid much attention to fonts over the years, never installed
    any other than those that might have come with applications. Early on,
    15 years ago or so, I settled on Palatino and I've stayed with it for
    most docs (Word 5.1a and now Word vX) and often for other apps (Safari,
    Now).
    I just upgraded to Tiger (10.4.4) and I use Word vX.
    Questions:
    1. I gather from looking at Font Book that when I'm using Palatino in
    Tiger that OS X is getting it from my OS 9 System folder for Classic.
    It does not look like Palatino is in any other locations including MS
    Office vX. Does that make sense?
    2. I always thought that Palatino was a very basic, always available
    font. Not so?
    3. If I decide to stop using Classic, and I'm close to that time, can I
    transfer those fonts to OS X? If so, to which location is best.
    4. And are the same fonts used for printing and screen? In other words
    back in pre OS X days I thought some fonts came in screen versions and
    print versions but my memory is hazy on that. Not only that.
    Thank you for any education or links for info.

    It seems to be out of favor.

    Yes, you can just put it in Users/username/Library/Fonts (or Library/Fonts for all users).

  • Email notification for approval sent to all managers

    Hi everybody,
    an astonishing process occurs in the workflow, a shopping cart was sent for approval, waiting for the manager linked to the requester in organizational structure to receive an email notification for approval,
    unfortunately , in certain case the email is sent to all managers even if we did a control in the badi concerning the workflow according to their role and flag is_manager in the structure.
    Is there anyway to check the flow and try to debug it to understand the way the workflow build this email notification and furthermore how the managers are selected?
    I already passes through the FM RH_GET_ACTORS, I had a look on the report RBBP_OFFLINE_EVAL.
    Thank you in advance for your suggestions.
                             Best regards Mahmoud

  • Configuring Email notifications for approval of requisitions and Pos

    Configuring Email notifications for approval of requisitions and Pos - Using the EBS Server to send the mails as opposed to separate mail-server

    For sending emails, you have to setup the workflow notification mailer.
    Once this setup is done you can send approval worklist in mail and also it can be approved. ( If PO setup is done.)

  • Beginner's Questions

    As a really new beginner for BEx, I would like to ask you guys some basic questions.
    1) I have a problem with designing a query to serve our requirement.
    Fiscal Year       Accounting Num.        Amount          AVG(Amount)         
    2006                10001                         100                250
    2006                10002                         200                250
    2006                10003                         300                250
    2006                10004                         400                250
                           Total(AVG)                  250
    2006                10005                         300                350
    2006                10006                         400                350
                           Total(AVG)                  350
    What I want is the forth column, which is equal to the average value of amount in the third column. For example, in group 1 (Accounting Number 10001 - 10004), the average of 100 - 400 is 250. In the forth column, I want to get 250.How can I do this?
    2) How can I load a hierarchy from a text file in BI 7.0. I just see the option to maintain the hierarchy in BI, but I can't find the way to load the hierarchy from a text file.

    Hi,
    1.Create a formula or CKF which is equal to Amount. name it  AVG(Amount).
      right click AVG(Amount) in the query definition.select properties.select calculate  single value as 'Average of all values<>0'.
    i thnk this shld work!

    Many thanks all Specially Sravanan & Laurent
    The issue has been resolved now . The problem was RFC Configuration was not setup for workflow in SWU3.
    Problem : Email was not triggering in professional purchaser and approver inbox even though we can see I the approval preview screen at the portal
    Solution : The work item step was not generating  for Agent determination.
    In Automatic Workflow Customization ( SWU3 ), Configure RFC Destination under Maintain Runtime Environment was not enabled.
    Basis Team  ran  Perform Automatic Workflow Customizing button situated adjacent to Execute button. And the status for Configure RFC Destination changed from Red cross to Green Tick.
    In Automatic Workflow Customization ( SWU3 ) -> Maintain Runtime Environment -> Configure RFC Destination
    There were some more options below were in Crossed red status :-
    We selected the particular step below and Right Click -> Auto- Customizing

  • BW Bex query and Webi question

    Hi All.
    Just a quick question on Bex queries. We are selecting a Bex query as a source for universe. However on the webi side we only want to see a subset of the data.
    1) The question is Would this rerun the entire BEX query on the BW side ? Or is there a better way to design the universe ?
    2) Also are there any best practices on how to desing Webi reports from BW BEX queries and also Infocubes etc ?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi puneet,
    The WebI builds a query on the BEx results. The query is related only to those items used in the WebI report. However, the BEx query must have the results in it, as the WebI does not execute it. I am not aware of a best practices document.

  • Mail Notification for Approval

    Hello,
    I want to be able to send e-mail's for notification to the approvers to approve the work item (contract, shopping cart) and to a group of people information mail once the work item (contract, shopping cart) is approved and PO is created and sent to the backend.
    What is not clear to me is, do i need to use Alert and Event Management or it is only through the workflow. ( We have implemented n-step approval BADI for contract and SC) ?
    thank you,
    Can anyone help me on this issue because i am receiving mails that shouldnt be coming and dont receive the expected mail (Approve workitem)? And stuck in the workflows...
    Thank you again,

    Gaia,
    There are two approaches.
    You can schedule std. report RSWUWFMLEC to run at regular intervals. This report sends an email to the mail client of employees who have specified that their work items are to be forwarded there. The report creates an email for each work item that can be processed.  (Program RSWUWFMLEC is used to send the email data to EBP. Then program RSCONN01 is used to send the email to external mail servers.)
    OR you can add the send mail step in your n-step approval BADI. You have to format the text on your own using the data available in BUS2121.
    Hope this helps,

  • Email Notification is approved but BPM Task is not getting completed

    Hi,
       A transaction is submitted, the approver gets a email notification. The Human task is Actionable.
       So in the email, approver can see Approve / Reject links. On clicking the links it generates a email response and it is sent to the server also.
       But the task is not getting approved.
       Do we need to check any settings in the server or task?
       Thanks for your help.

  • Could not able to send email notification through approval workflow

    Hi,
    I am trying to send an email notification to the requester and approver on request creation and when the approver approves the request then an email should get triggered to the request with approve/reject outcome. All the SOA configuration has been done and also able to send test email through SOA console but could not able to send email through SOA composite.
    For configuring an email notification, I am using notification tab in ApprovalTask, but still problem is not resolved.
    Please help me in resolving the issue.
    Thanks.

    Use this link to check again whether you have configured the Email driver properties properly. http://www.iamidm.com/2012/09/oim-11g-r2-lab-6-managing-notifications.html
    Also check whether any firewall issue is there which is preventing OIM to contact the email server in sending out emails. Check the logs if there are any issues.
    Also check this system property 'RequestNotificationLevel'. This property indicates whether or not notification is sent to the requester and beneficiary when a request is created or the request status is changed. If the value is 0 for this system property, make it 1.
    I was facing a similar type of issue due to two reasons:
    1. System property
    2. Firewall
    Check both of them and try again.

  • Email Notification to Approver - PCR Approval Process

    Hi,
    We are in the process of implementing PCR Approval using MSS .
    And as per requirement , we are supposed to send email notification to the Approver Outlook mail box - as and when the Appoval work item is delivered to the Approver's UWL.
    By adding one more activity step in the Workflow template ,we have been able to achieve this.
    And as per our current design ,
    In case of Agent Determination failure (i.e when the approver is not determined correctly),
    we route the Approval Work Item to the Workflow Administrator's UWL  - so that he can forward it to the appropriate "Approver"
    The Workflow Admin can forward the Approval work item to the appropriate "Approver" from his UWL.
    The Problem is,
    How can we send a email notification to the Approver  - who has been selected by the Workflow Admin - when forwarding the Work item.
    Is it possible to read the Forwarded user in the Workflow template @ runtime ??
    Does this require a change in the Webdyn Pro code in the UWL part??
    Any suggestion regarding this is welcome.
    Version Info:
    ECC 5.0
    EP Version:6.0
    NW2004
    Regards,
    Raj

    Hi Rajasekar,
    Actually, when the workitem is manually forwarded to the correct agent, the mail should also be sent to the correct agent explicitly. Usually this happens quiet rarely.
    You can see the new Agent(Forwarded Agent) in the Workflow Log. I think you can even get the forwarded agent in SWWWIHEAD table. Check this out.
    You dont have to change any coding in WD Side.
    Regards

  • Released Notification to Approver dumps when trying to display

    Hi Guys!
    We have in place N Step approval workflow and configured the system that approvers get a notification when the shopping cart is released.
    This works fine.
    But when the recipeints open their Inbox this notification is executable (What function is behind this?) When the recipients click on the notification in their Inbox the error message  ".....BC/BSP/SAP/SMART_FORMS/DEFAULT.CSS is not available". Even when Service SMART_FORMS was activated in SICF the error message persists. I can find the Service SMART_FORMS but I cannot fine "DEFAULT.CSS". How can I fix this? What function is expected when the notification will be executed?
    Rgds.
    Dieter

    Hi Muthu,
    that was very helfull.  I get this message when a notification (not workitem!) is sent to the approver when the shopping cart is released. This is a standard task within WS14500015 or WS14500015. I don't know the the task number because its weekend and I don't have access to the system now, can give you details on Monday
    But I'm still not clear what I have to do. I guess my css is "DEFAULT.CSS" the same as error message populates it but its unclear to me. How can I find this out?  Does that mean I have to develop something or is it just configuration in the ICF Service "SMART_FORMS. I don`t understand your link to SAP Help properly because I don`t have experience in Smart Forms. Any advice is appreciated. What I think is that when you click on that notification the details of the released shopping cart should be displayed. Therfore a Web enabled Smart Form is used. We did not make any modifications to this task it'sSAP standard procedure and I would have expected that it works without any development.
    Rgds.
