Re-starting Item Level Shopping Cart Approval Workflow

Hi All -
We are implementing WS 14500015 - the Item-based n-level approval workflow for shopping carts - for certain scenarios. In other scenarios we are using the overall approval workflow.
I need to re-start the item-level approval workflow for certain scenarios (change in price, change in quantity, etc) - not when any and all changes are made to a line item.
I was hoping to use the badi BBP_WFL_SECUR_BADI - which works great for the overall n-level shopping cart approval workflow. However, I can't seem to hit it appropriately for the item level approval workflow!
Does anyone know if this BADI or any other can be utilized for determining when to re-start the item-level shopping cart n-level approval workflow?
Thanks so much!
Abby

hi,
Have you implemented the badi BBP_WFL_SECUR_BADI ? for restarting the workflow?
Let me know?
Also it is possible to debug and see why the restart does not happen.
Also let me know wether the restart happens in other cases?

AD-hoc approver n step item level shopping cart workflow

Hi
We are on latest version of SRM and using n step item level SC approval workflow.
The scenario goes like this:
-     Requester creates shopping cart and workflow goes for two step approval.
-     In the approval preview the requester is able to see both levels of approvers, which is correct.
-     Requester now selects second level approver and replaces him with a ad-hoc approver. WE DO NOT WANT THIS. Requester should NOT be able to replace an approver determined by approval badi. However should be able to extend approval step with ad-hoc approver say third level approver a ad-hoc approver. Also he should be able to change AD-HOC approvers ONLY.
Thanks
Joe

Jo,
You may be able to achieve it in the BADI BBP_WFL_SECUR_BADI .
You can use the Business Add-In (BAdI) BBP_WFL_SECUR_BADI to determine whether
A shopping cart can be changed during the approval process
The approval workflow restarts when changes are made to the document
A reviewer/approver can be added or changedThese are the call scenarios (see import parameter SCENARIO).

Problems in shopping cart approval workflows

Hello friends,
We are using standard shappong cart approval workflows ( WS14000129 and WS14000060). I have configured all the steps mentioned in documents but workflows are not working while creating saving shopping carts.
I have tried testing above workflows from background and they work properly from there, which means nothing wrong with basic workflow settings. But when I try save a cart from portal, workflow does get triggered but stops at very first step ( i.e. Parralel section between approval) in workflow. Also it does NOT get errored out but just waiting.
Can anyone please help me in understanding what is wrong and how I can fix it.

Arpit

Determine approvers based on lineitem in Shopping Cart Approval Workflow

Hi All,
We have N-step Approval workflow for Approving the Shopping cart implemented.
The issue here is that based on the Product Category for a line item the list of approvals may differ.
How can i handle this scenario ?
Regards,
Radhika.

Hello Priyanka,
While using N-step item level SC WF, you have to use BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI for agent determination. This badi gets called everytime when shopper changes SC or approver takes action on it. So after every change done to SC, approvers are determined.
Follow the listed steps:
1) As per your logic, for each item first determine the approvers at each level & assign them approval index. Arrange them in ascending order of their approval index at item level.
2) Now its possible that you have multiple approvers, multiple item at each level. For sending SC for approval, you will have to generate Approval_object_guid for each approver. For this you have to find out a criteria for generating Approval guid.
Eg:
SC has 3 items then, if for any 2 items product category is similar then approvers will be similar at a particular level. Similarly for different Product Category, different approvers are determined. So you can consider 'Product Category' & 'Approval index' as a criteria to club approvers at each level.
3) Use function module ''BBP_WFL_DIN_APP_OBJ_GET' to generate approval guid based on criteria & to update badi parameter 'item_approval_obj'.
4) Update badi parameters 'Approval_table' and 'Item_approval_table'.
5) Once SC is approved by all, set 'no_further_approval_needed' flag.
Please let me know if you need any further help.
Thanks,
Shital

Error in Shopping cart Approval workflow

Hi Workflow experts,
We are on SRM 5.0 with Extended classic scenario.
I have activated & set the start conditions for No Approval workflow.
The workflow for shopping carts end up in Error status.
Message "Error changing to status RELS". upon further dwelling, the message "Work item XXXXX: Object XXXXXXX method SETRELEASED cannot be executed" is displayed. How can i check the Binding between the Task container & the Method Container.
I have no red flags in SWUD for WS10000060. I have checked the automatic customisation of workflow & every thing looks good. The workflow back ground jobs are running.
What could be the problem?
Your inputs in this regards are appreciated & will be rewarded!!
Cheers,
Akash

Hi
hopefully this link and the OSS note 1233774 should help

Item-based Shopping Cart Approval

Hi,
I'm using Item-based approval shopping cart. I'm using the BADI BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI for getting the approvers. I'm getting all the approvers in APPROVAL_TABLE and having ITEM_APPROVAL_TABLE also filled. I'm giving different branch index for different line items. As I described in those table, it is picking the first approver for particular line items and sending workitem to them. But once I execute from One user, the workitem disappears from other. And I'm not populating any details in ITEM_APPROVAL_OBJ.
Is it needed to give the details in the table ITEM_APPROVAL_OBJ ????
Can anyone tell me how to proceed with item level approval ??
Regards,
JMB

You don't need directly update anything in the table, the function module BBP_WFL_DIN_ITEM_APPROVAL_GET populates this table. Take a look at the existing BADI implementation.

Offline approval for line item based Shopping carts

Hi ,
We are planning to use offline approval and line item based approval (item based approval workflow) for shopping carts.
For e.g. 10 line items in a cart can have 10 different cost centres, and a line each need to go to respective cost centre managers for approval.
have few clarifications:
1. Can offline approval be used for item based shopping cart approval workflow?
2. Can different line items be sent by mail to different mail boxes?
3. Will 1 manager see all the 10 line items OR only the 1 line item for which he is responsible?
4. If he will get only line for which he is responsible , and once he clicks on approve , will this approval apply to his line item only , OR it will apply to all the 10 line items ?

Sumendra

Hi Sumedra,
Which workflow are you using - application or process contrlled workflow?
Assuming you are using process-controlled workflow - I will answer following questions -
1. Can offline approval be used for item based shopping cart approval workflow?
- Yes, it can be used !
2. Can different line items be sent by mail to different mail boxes?
Yes
3. Will 1 manager see all the 10 line items OR only the 1 line item for which he is responsible?
1 manager can 'see' all the items but he can only approve or reject the item that he is suppose to act on. All other item will be grayed out. However, this behaviour is configuarable !
4. If he will get only line for which he is responsible , and once he clicks on approve , will this approval apply to his line item only , OR it will apply to all the 10 line items ?
- see above

Shopping Cart approval process in SRM using Black Berry

Hi,
I am very new to SRM. Here the user wants the whole approval/rejection process of shopping cart should be done via the Black Berry.
When a shopping cart is created in SRM then automatically a mail should appear in this mail box(outlook or lotus) as well as in the black berry mail box, so from black berry the user will accept/reject the shopping cart.
What workflow should be used? for mailing to outlook as well as in the blackberry whether we should implement any BAdI and also for integrating SRM & black berry whether we require any plug-in or configuration to be done..
Please do the needful..
Thanks and Regards,
Chandra Sekhar

Hi,
pl. read this:
Mobile Enterprise Buyer
Use
Users can log on to the Enterprise Buyer system using a WAP-enabled cellular phone or any other WAP-enabled front end. This allows them to perform many procurement tasks completely independently of any docking station. These mobile applications are part of the standard system setup for Enterprise Buyer.
Managers can approve shopping carts while on business trips far away from the office.
The start URL for the mobile scenarios is:
http://.:/scripts/wgate/wapbbpstart/!?~language=
where <language> = de or <language> = en, for example.
The initial screen is displayed in the relevant language.
Integration
You can either use your own WAP gateway or you can use a WAP gateway service from a telecommunications provider. If you have your own gateway, you can position it behind your firewall. This means that communication is via a dialup line as far as the WAP gateway, that is, a secure connection going behind the firewall. Beyond this point, communication is via HTTP. If you are using a WAP gateway service, the dialup line stops outside your firewall with the less secure HTTP communication starting outside the firewall.
The graphic shows a standard configuration with a WAP gateway located behind the firewall.
Prerequisites
You require the following:
WAP-enabled mobile device
WAP gateway
WML-enabled catalog that supports OCI
You have configured your Web server to handle the MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) types required for WAP. These are as follows:
File extension
MIME type
Wml
text/vnd.wap.wml
Wmlc
Application/vnd.wap.wmlc
Wmls
text/vnd.wap.wmlscript
Wmlsc
Application/vnd.wap.wmlscriptc
Wbmp
image/vnd.wap.wbmp
If you have your own Web server, you define the MIME types using the Web server's administration tools. In Microsoft IIS, you have to enter the types on the Properties page of your site on the tab card HTTP Headers. If you are not using your own Web server, inform the administrator or provider running the Web server.
Features
The following functions are available:
Create new shopping cart
Users can:
Select catalogs using input help
View catalogs (by product group)
Search for products in catalogs (full text)
Display item details
Add items to shopping carts
Delete items from shopping carts
Change item quantities
Delete shopping carts
Order shopping carts
When a shopping cart is ordered, an order confirmation is displayed giving the shopping cart name and the total value of the shopping cart.
Status check
Users can:
Display overview of shopping carts (shopping cart name and status)
Display header data for shopping carts (for example, shopping cart name and date of last change)
Inbox
Users can:
Display overview of work items (only shopping cart approval) and messages
Display detail view of messages (sender and full short text)
Display detail view of work items (full short text only)
Managers can approve or reject shopping carts
Managers can only approve or reject complete shopping carts. Approval and rejection at item level is not possible.
Reporting
Managers can display the most recent purchase orders created for their cost center(s).

Tables to link Shopping Cart to Workflow

I have a request to report on total dollars for shoppng carts that are sent to a particular inbox and total dollars for shopping carts that were rejected in that inbox. I've written dozens of Quickviewer queries to report on shopping cart data however I've never linked the shopping cart to workflow items.
Can this be done without writing an ABAP program to extract the workflow data?

Hi Nancy,
You may want to form joins between the following Shopping cart tables and workflow tables.
Shopping cart tables
CRMD_ORDERADM_H
CRMD_ORDERADM_I
Workflow tables
SWWWIHEAD
SWW_CONTOB (The field Object key in this table will have shopping cart number)
SWWUSERWI
SWW_CONT(Workflow container table which will store whether workitem is approved or rejected)
Hope this helps.
Please reward points if hint is foud useful.

Shopping Cart Approval & PO generation

Hi All,
I am using N step BADI for Shopping Cart approval process. Here can we generate the PO even when the Shopping Cart is awaiting Approval.
Please let me know how POs can be created without any approval necessary?
This is Urgent!!!
Thanks,
San

Hi,
Yes this needs to be active.
This is the job which updates the item overview status from awaiting approval to approved.
We had a similar issue for one step workflow for SC where becos of this the SC's were showing awaiting approval though the approver activity is completed.
Refer OSS note 790027 which says that after all configs the status is updated by background jobs. This is the one which is explained in it.
Go to SWU3 and verify all green tick marks "Schedule background job for event queue" is the with this job. Execute it and you can display the job from here.

Accept / Rejection Reasons for Shopping Cart Approval

Hi experts!
Our customer would like to have the following functionality.
During approval workflow the user will either Accept or Reject the shopping cart and at the same time he must enter a reason for approval / rejection from a list with fixed texts / values.
I didn't find any documentation about rejection reasons during approval of shopping cart. Has anybody of you ever seen this or realized anything like that?
If SAP Standard doesn't offer anything suitable we might have to modify the approver screen or develop a new screen.
Any helpful answer would be much appreciated.
Best regards,
Corinne

Hi
Please try this ->
Re: Make mandatory field-Reason for rejection notes-SC approval screen
Reason for Return Delivery missing
Re: Text Types Issue on Bid/Quote
Temporary GUID coming from Sourcing in Doc change badi
Reason for Return Delivery
inactive approval and reject buttons on shopping cart approval screen
Else Use BBP_DOC_CHECK_BADI
SC header level Reject- Display error message
Hope this will help. Do let me know.

Error in shopping cart approval

Hello all, I am working in SRM 7.0. I am working with shopping cart with one approve level only
The approver must be the requisitioner's manager always, but when I go to change shopping cart approve squema I have an error message.
I configured it:
In process levels for object type BUS2121
Process schema evaluation: 1EV_SC_001
Process level schema: 1C_SAPSRM_MIG_101 and 3C_SC_700_002
For 1C_SAPSRM_MIG_101:
Process level configuration:
Level Type: Approval
Responsible Resolver Name: RR_MANAGER
Task ID: 40007954
Decision Type: 2
When I save a shopping cart I have this error message:
No approver found RR_MANAGER BUS2121 4CFCDAE5BAC10B80E10080000A8C6250
In the organizational structure I am in the same organization unit of manager and I have only one manager in all structure. How can I determine the manager in this case? Which can be the error?
Thanks in advance

I am using 1EV_SC_001 evalution ID not 0EV000.
For evaluation ID 1EV_SC_001 I used 1C_SAPSRM_MIG_101 process level schema and RR_MANAGER as Resp. Responsable Name.
Can I used 0EV000 evaluation ID? What is the process level schema that I have to used?

Shopping cart using Workflow??

Useful answer will be rewarded.
Thanks

Hi,
most of the Badi's that are related to business document will trigger when the approver take the decision.. if the error raise by the standard code.. approver must be seen in the SC screen.. if the error is raise by the check badi then you can debug the check badi in BBP_PD.. put the break point in DOC_CHECK badi and click the check message again in the bottom of the details screen..
