Requisition Approval Process in EHP4

HI,
In EHP4- E-recruiting, I have given one user the role of Restricted Recruiter. During the requisition creation process, this user should not be allowed to release the Requisition. But this user can release the requisition. It is not asking for the Approver. I hvae already activated the standard workflow for this
I am currently using the follwoing package- SAPK-60407INERECRUIT.
Thanks and Regards
Rosy

Hi Christine,
Where can I find out more about what the "workitem" is and where it should be "displayed" to the approver? I'm not sure of what "Interface" the Approver is supposed to Login to, in order to approve the requisition so as to set the requisition's status to "Released".
I'm using the Restricted Recruiter role that you describe, and I'm able to get the workflow to send an email to the designated approver. However, the default email doesn't mention anything about the "workitem" and the email does not provide a Link so that the approver can complete the Approval process.
We are using a distributed SAP E-Recruiting sytem and we do not use SAP Portal or MSS. In addition, we have only turned on and activated Business Function "HCM_ERC_CI_1".
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Requisition Approval Process using HCM Processes and Forms

Hi all,
Can HCM P&F be used for processes other than HR? For example, Purchase Requisition form to be displayed in the portal instead of HR process like 'transfer' form and upon final approval, creation of requisition in SAP should happen instead of HR infotype updation.
Is this possible? If so, please mention the advantages and disadvantages of using HCM P&F for other than HR processes.
Regards
Srini

Srinivasan,
I replied to your posting in other forum and pasting my response here as well.
As mentioned by other SDN peer, HCM P & F is aimed at business processes in HCM area. HCM P & F has provision to retrieve employee's information stored in PA/PT/OM modules and also designed to use infotype framework to update the form data back to employee master data. The navigation of application starts in choosing employee for which Form is to be submitted.
If you are on EhP4, using new feature we can bypass choosing employee to begin with.
That said, if you still want to use HCM P & F for non-HCM area then you may end up doing lots of customization.
Also, SAP had delivered several ISR forms (based on ISR framework) for non HCM business processes, for example 1. Customer master data 2. Cost center maintenance 3. Profit Center etc. You have to look at appropriate business package documentation for more details.
HCM P & F is also based on ISR framework but with lots of latest features.

EREC: Standard workflow approval process

Hello,
Can someone help me out with the workflow name, for the approval process, if recruiter is creating the requisition?, will the workflow be trigerred after saving the requisition or the releasing the requisition?
Thanks Much.

Chech the WS51800008 in SWDD this workflow trigger in APPROVALREQUESTED event of ERC_REQUI business object, also check WS16900009 This workflow template is used when processing requisition requests within the MSS E-Recruiting integrated solution. In the standard
delivery, it is associated with the Simple Requisition Request (SRQ1) scenario. This workflow is started when a user (usually the manager) submits the requisition request.
Also Check Business object ERC_OBJECT in tcode SWO1and use where used list.

Customization to Add Approver to Requisition Approver List

Hi
We use a Position Hierarchy to determine the Approver List for a PO Requisition Approval
However we also use Project Costing, and would like to dynamically add the Project Managers into the Approver List for Requisition lines coded to their Projects.
Does anyone have any experience doing this ? Know of any Open API calls that will allow this?
I have been through the Workflow and have designed the Process flow changes required, but cannot find any documentation on "dynamically" adding an additional approver into the Approver List.
Thanks

I have completed work on this and it will require use of the Applications Framework to add in the appropriate user. You will need to work with the Controller for the page as well as the AM for some validation.
In short you need to complete Applications Framework customisations to get this information.

"Approval Process Overview" in ECC.

We have SRM 7.0 running in Classic scenario. We have a requirement to see the "Approval Process Overview" Log in the ECC Puchase requistion generated after the approvals are completed in SRM. (preferably at Header)
What are the options available for us to be able to do that ?
There is a Download XML in the Approval process Data field, Can it be changed to Download as Excel, and an excel file passed as an attachment to the Shopping cart and Purchase Requisition ?

The intent behind this scenarios is to split the Approval process in two parts,
a) Part 1: SC Creator creates Shopping Cart and routes for approval on a Technical Basis. Once all technical approvals are completed and Shopping Cart is approved a PR is created with Release Strategy in ECC.
b) Part 2: Financial approver would approve the PR in ECC on the basis of Amount against release strategy. The requirement is for the financial approver in ECC to have visibility on who has Technically approved the Shopping cart without loging into SRM.
Once the financial approver validates that the Shopping cart was approved by a set of people, he goes ahead and releases it in ECC for further processing.
Our challenge is to get the approval lprocess overview from SRM to ECC.

[Process: TLReportedTime]: there is no transaction record at level -1 for this approval process

This is happening in a demo version. Nothing has been changed. Any idea if this has been reported earlier ?
Thanks,
R

Hi,
Do you mean that the notification is not appearing in both the users? It should be available in one of the users. There are 2 options..
1) Approve/Reject from the other user account where the notification exists.. anyways audit will show the person name only and should be fine
2) Ask the requestor to change the requisition(withdraw process) and then submit it again... (if you are using iProc).

Requisition approver list

I am customizing PO Requisition Approval workflow and modifying the Approval List Routing Using AME process. I am adding a node which kicks off a plsql process to update some custom tables.
The purpose of this customization is to get who last approved (the previous approver) the requisition and who is the next approver. The workflow item attribute APPROVER_EMPID is helpflul to know who the current approver. But I also need who was the previous approver. Any easier way to get this info or any oracle table ?
I tried FORWARD_FROM_ID which always has the emp id of the person who submitted the requistion, not the last approver. Any suggestions to get this info ?
Thanks
SP

If the requisition is already approved once, then you can take the approver name from the following query by joining with hr_employees/per_people_f
select employee_id from po_action_history where object_type_code = 'REQUISITION' and action_code = 'APPROVE'

APPROVAL PROCESS WORK FLOW

Hi,
I have already set the approval process, in which I have a user that authorizes and the one that publishes.
The ContentCreator is supponsed to create documents that need to be authorized and published in order to be seen. But what happens when the Content Creator happens to create a new folder and a new document in that folder? That new folder does not inheritate the approval process, and so the new document in that folder is automatically published, invalidating the approval process.
How can I avoid that mistake? Ho can I limit the creation of new folders just for the administrator?
Thanx

Workflow Approve Process

Enterprise compensation management approval process

Hi Gurus,
I have one problem with ECM merit approval process.
Client requirement is that when requesting manager gives Merit increase to eligible employees, it should go to 1 level up manager where he has to review it and should be able to edit it. Then this item should be approved by 2 level manager after making required changes. But in the standard system the option of editing the Submitted Review item by 1 level up manager is not possible. He can either approve it or Reject it but it is not possible to edit it.
Is there any work around solution for this so that 1 level up manager can edit the increase amount and then 2 level manager edit it and approve it ?
I know that this functionality is available with Ehp4, but client don't want to implement Ehp4 as they faced many problems while installing Ehp3. Please suggest me a work around solution for this.
Thanks,
kumar

Hi
The setting will work for the lowest level chief position in an organizational structure, but I don't think it will work in the entire structure - the requirements are often:
<b>Planning</b>
Directly reporting employees which means that you have to have an evaluation path (O-O-S-P) that can stop when it comes to chief position below - the chief position has to be included, since he or she is a directly reporting employee.
<b>Approval</b>
This is a bit more complicated because you have to get all employees for whom you are manager's manager - don't think SAP has created an evaluation path or function modules that can do this.

Approved invoices can not be edited - Approval process

Hi Experts -
I have recently raised an incident with SAP about Approval process - the complete message and support reply is as follows - but i believe we need a change in the approval process - if the approval required is only one but you have defined two people (Either or OR) in the approver list - the system should allow the document to be edited if one of the approvers reject it.
please let me know and i believe we need a change in design - unless otherwise a solid reason is given to justify the existing design
10.07.2009 10:32 Description (English) by SRS Manian
     We have created approval procedure for all the invoices which are entered into the system., The
'Accts' user enters the invoice into the system - the invoice comes for approval to 'Manager' user.
When the Manager opens the invoice via Alert window - he/she wants to modify certain information
(lines as well as Sales person) and approve it.
The invoice which gets opened from the alert window - does not allow the user 'Manager' to modify at
all. All the information on the invoice are greyed out.
The system should allow the user 'Manager' to modify the information. Since the manager has full
authorization to the system.

     Dear Manian,
Thank you for contacting us.
When the originator sends the document for manager's approval, note that the at that stage, the document is still in the 'Approval Process'. This is because the system is waiting for the 'Manager' to 'Approve or Reject' the document. Hence, looking at the Document, it is still in 'Draft - Pending' Status.
When the document is in 'Draft-Pending' Status, the document is not available for editing, because the system considers that it is still in the waiting process. In your case, the manager cannot edit t he document.
To amend the document, an action is required from the approver either to reject it first. Once rejected, it can be amended and re-sent for approval.
I have checked our knowledge base and noted that there is an article which describes the approval process. Please refer to the Expert on Phone Wiki Article (March 2009) with title: Why a draft documen t in an approval process cannot be modified by the originator?
The link will provide the explanation:

     Thanks for the reply. The scenario is when the Manager receives the
document for approval, he wanted to edit and add it. Your reply (and
documentations) states that it needs to be rejected first before it is
available for editing. When it is gets rejected - the person who
orignated the document gets an alert and he can edit it. Here the
Manager must get an alert so that he can edit the Rejected document.
When the 'manager' rejects the document, and goes back to the alert
window to open the document - it is still greyed out !!
How does the 'manager' reject the document and edits it ?

     Dear Manian,
If after the Manager rejects it and still the document is not editable (greyed out), it means that the document may still be in the 'Approval Process'. When it is greyed out, what is the status of the document in the header? Does it say 'Rejected' or 'Pending'?
If it is still in 'Pending' mode, please verify the number of 'Approvers' set in the 'Stages' tab of the 'Approval Template - Setup' window. If there is more than one user listed as 'Approver', and o nly 1 approval is required, the system provides an opportunity to other 'Approvers' to approve or reject the document. If in your case, the number of approvers is 2, and manager 'rejected' it, the sys tem still keeps the document in Pending status as it waits for another approver's decision to reject or approve it.
Also, verify the number of 'Approvals' required. If the number of 'Approvers' who have not rendered their decision is greater than or equal to the 'Approvals' required (e.g. approvers - 2, required ap provals - 2) the system keeps the document within the approval process. This is to allow the other 'Approvers' to decide on the document.
I hope this clarifies the behaviour. If you can provide us a step by step screenshot of the issue, this may help us to provide a more accurate response.

Approval process (Release strategy of scheduling agreement)

Hi,
Recently we are trying to implement the approval process of scheduling agreements.
Client requirement is when ever there is a change in price irrespective of the following
1. Retrospective price change in any line item
2. Current price change in any line item
3. Future price updation in SA in any line item
4. New addition of line item
the system should trigger the release process (i.e. Approval process).
Our idea is to design the approval process based on document type and net value of SA. Based on which trigger should happened. But when we test it we find the following issues.
1. Trigger is not happening for future date price change or price for new period as the net value of SA is based on validity time.
Becuase the net value change will happen only on that onwards..
Also we are not using any cumulative pallned values in agreements.
Any can suggest the best solution to over come this..or Any user exit is avaliable to handle this issue.
regards,
K.Sundaresan.

Below are the (changed) item fields :
Purchasing Document Item Change Date AEDAT
Item Delivery Date EINDT
Schedule Line is "Fixed "FIXKZ
Below are the (changed) header fields :
Release Indicator: Purchasing Document FRGKE
Release status FRGZU
Purchasing document processing state PROCSTAT
Item and header changes have same "Change document number " and transaction code "ME38" , this happened only in some cases,Rel Strategy is on document type level ,I am also confused on this .

Administrators for PWA . But couldnot find SalesManager or any other security group created in pwa.
Can anyone suggest how I can get the security group created in pwa.

NBDevelopment,
I believe SPD only recognizes the SharePoint Groups and not the project server security groups.
The Administrators for PWA, and few other groups like Project Managers for PWA etc., are synced SharePoint Groups with the security groups, which is why they show up in SPD.
You could create a SharePoint Group for the Sales Managers group and use that in SPD.

Hi,
I have run into the same problem with SOA 11.1.1.5 version. In my case after fixing the following two errors it seems to work fine.
If you have followed the guide, there must be some errors:
First the java code if copied then contains an extra enter value:
Instead of:
"try {
System.out.println("Prototype for invoking an OIM API from a SOA Composite");
System.out.println("RTM Usecase: Self Registration Approval by Organization
Administrator");"
Use the following:
"try {
System.out.println("Prototype for invoking an OIM API from a SOA Composite");
System.out.println("RTM Usecase: Self Registration Approval by Organization Administrator");"
The other error is that you should not use <BEAHOME>/oracle_common/modules/oracle.jps_11.1.1/jps-manifest.jar, but the <BEAHOME>/oracle_common/modules/oracle.jps_11.1.1/jps-api.jar in jdeveloper. After these the deployment to the application server works fine for me.
