SC Approval Query

Hello SRM Gurus,
I am working on the BADI BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI for SC Approval.I need some clarifications on the foll points before I can proceed with the development...
My requirement is
1>The no of levels of Approval depends on the total Value fo SC and the Product Category of the Items(i.e. the Whole shopping cart since all the Items will be of the same Product category as well as same cost centre).
Based on the combination of these 2 values,I will have to set the approval_index field.
2>Also after this,based on the combination of the value for the fields Product Category + Cost centre,the approvers have to be determined.
Now for the deteremination of Approvers,either a custom table can be maintained or they ca be retrieved form teh Org structure itself.
But now here,for getting the Approvers,if I have to get the apporvers from the Table(database table bbpt_wfl_lia_def),I can only maintain the combination of values for the fields Cost center and Prod category and the corresponding agent and not the approval level.How do I link the approval index and the approvers???
Also, if i ma getting the approvers form the Org structure how is the link between Cost centre+Prod cat and Corresponding approver maintained????Or in case of getting the approvers for the Org structure,I just need to get the Chief/manager of the Person who is creating the Shopping cart(Since cost centre will be maintained at the User level)???
3>Also since my approval is purely at the Header level,whcih of the example implementations given with the std BADI will be usitable for my reqt(particularly for the APprovers part)????
Also since mine is Header level approval(since cost center+Prod cat will necessarily be same the whole of the SC,do I need to activate only the workflow 14000133(and no other wfs i.e.WS14500015,WS10000031,WS10000060,WS10000129 )?
Also,Please correct me if i have gone wrong in any of my understanding.Any help on this is highly appreciated.
Regards,
Disha.

Hi Pras,
 I am implementing the BADI 14000133 for Shopping cart approval at the Header level based on the total value of shopping Cart,cost center and product category.
 We are maintaining 3 ztables to determine the rules for approval as shown below :
1 Material Group Material Type relationship
Release Group Material Type Material Group
Capital CAP MCAP01- MCAP06
Catalogue CAT MCAT01 MCAT03
Normal UTI,Service,GEN MUT01, SER*,MGEN01
 MGEN02
2 Rule Table for mapping the values ranges.
Ruleno Release Grp Val frm Val TO No. of Approvers
01 Capital 0 5000 1
3 Determination of approvers based on rule, Material Group and cost center
Ruleno RelGroup CostCenter No of Approver Approvers
01 Capital 100002 1 USJOHN
Can anyone please tell me whether this apporach will be proper since we dont wnat to determine the approvers through Org?
Also should we maintain the table BBPT_WFL_LIA_DEF?
Also i have some doubts regarding the execution of the Witem..
1>The Witem goes to all the 3 approvers(say approval is 3 level) and if nayone of the 3 approves ,the status is set to approved
2>If any of the approvers rejects the shopping cart,does the SC go back to the previous approver?
3>If any of the approver changes the SC,does the SC go to the next approver?
Our requirement is ths same as the std WF behaviour(WS100000129).
 I have issues basically related to the Witem execution since I have not worked on Workflows previously...So not sure as to what will happen inn case of this WF(WS14000133)..Since you have worked on this WF,can you please tell me how will the WItem execution happen in case of this WF and are there any explicit settings required for the WF item execution to happen in some specified manner.
Also, which of the std Implementations example for the BADI BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI will suit my scenario?
Regards,
Disha.

Rounding data on an approval query

Hello everyone...
As You know, taxes have increased in Mexico so we created new tax codes and accounts, and since I can't block any of the old taxcodes/acounts until all previous documents have ben closed/paid the only option I could think of was creating an approval process for all documents using the previous tax codes, since I can't create an approval query based on document lines/rows, I created it comparing the document's tax vs the document's total ($$). The old taxes were 10% and 15% these are the percentages I want to "block" using the approval process.
Here's the query I created
IF (($($27.0.number) = $($22.0.number).15) OR ($($27.0.number) = $($22.0.number).1) ) SELECT 'TRUE'
The query/approval works, but there is a problem: SBO rounds to 2 decimals, so for a $ 124.15 sale the 15% tas would be 18.6225 but the tax ammount field would show 18.62 only which by being different in 0.0025 passes the criteria...
How can I make this query work with rounded data?, I tried using round($($22.0.number)) but when then I always get a "Cannot comit transaction" error..
Thanks in advance
Hugo

Hugo,
I am glad my suggested solution worked. I try to answer only questions that I know will work.
It does not help in answering on a trail and error basis which unfortunately happens a lot of times as the enthusiasm in answering keeps away the focus.
Depending on your decimal places definition in General Setting the numbers would be rounded.
Using CAST to Varchar will also preserve the decimals but the numeric value will get converted.
Best wishes

Approval Query to skip for one Vendor Group - Not working

Dear All,
I am trying to create an approval query wherein when a user creates a Purchase Order for a Particular Vendor Group then the approval check is not required and for other Vendor Group approval check is required. The query is as under :
SELECT distinct 'true' FROM OPOR T0 INNER JOIN OCRD T1 ON T0.CardCode = T1.CardCode INNER JOIN OCRG T2 ON T1.GroupCode = T2.GroupCode WHERE T2.GroupName <> 'Supplier Own Group'
I don't want that which vendors are in Supplier Own Group check go for an approval process. Means all vendors in this group should get skipped for approval.
How to achieve this because this query seems not to be working in the approval process because when a user creates a PO whose Vendor group is under Supplier Own Group then also the approval checking is happening.
Please help how to resolve this issue.
Regards,
Depika

Hi,
Try this
SELECT distinct 'true' FROM OPOR T0 INNER JOIN OCRD T1 ON T0.CardCode = T1.CardCode INNER JOIN OCRG T2 ON T1.GroupCode = T2.GroupCode
AND T2.GroupName <> 'Supplier Own Group' where T0.CardCode = $[$4.1.0]
Hope this helps,

Approval Query for AP Invoices Containing Budget Related GL Account

I would like to create a approval template for all AP invoices that include a GL account that is related to the budget. Can you please help me with the approval query?
Thank you!
Jane

Hello Gordon Du,
"B1 approval will only apply to document level. If you want to check line level, only the first line can be subjected to."
I was thinking to trigger the approval process based on a document (AP invoice) containing relevant cost centres on a line by line basis as entered via one of the enabled dim fields.
Writing a trigger query for each cost centre effected? This does not appear to be a good solution, what is a better direction. Is there another way? (PO are not yet used via SAPB1)
Currently my invoices add, but do not trigger the approval process based on my attempts thus far.
Can the originator manually choose an approval pathway?
If this is against posting etiquette delete and advise.
I am a relative newbie to SAP B1, so am happy to be pointed to relevant help files. I arrived via google searching and arrived here.
Thankyou.

Dear Tavargeri Ganesh,
Unfortunately, your required query can not be created because that info is not on the header but in the row level. The possibility could be if your approval depend only the first line item.

Approval Query on multi-level line discounts

Hi Experts,
I have this query that is attached in the A/R Reserve Invoice> free text field that triggers different values corresponding to the to approval levels of the management. The query is triggered when a discount is manually change. Also, the free text returns a null value, if the item chosen is defined in period & volume discounts table (OSPP & SPP1).
However, the issue arises when the client creates first a Sales Quotation which has an item defined in OSPP (promo item), upon copying to RI, the FMS returns a value instead of null, especially if the item copied is a promo item.
I need help to modify this query to consider also if the item (promo) is copied from a base document.

Hi Ravi,
The users don't want to restrict the whole report on a specific customer or material. The only user input variable that will be available is the customer order date.
The restriction has to be on the value of caracteristics coming from each individual sales orders that appear on the report.
Exemple: I ask for sales order for a specific date and it gives me 2 sales orders with different customers and materials:
Customer order list:
- Ord# 1000241, Cust#100, Mat #A01, $100, 128$, 95$
- Ord# 1000244, Cust#115, Mat #B02, $100, 119$, 118$
The amount 128$ is restricted by date, and customer #100
The amount 95$ is restricted by date, and material #A01
The amount 119$ is restricted by date, and customer #115
The amount 118$ is restricted by date, and material #B02
Thanks in advance,

Hi Rashid,
B1 does not support approval queries on document lines. you can query only document header.
you can either try to workaround it with all sorts of aggregate UDFs in the header, or alternatively take a look at:
[http://www.beonesolutions.com/ip/Solutions/ap.html|http://www.beonesolutions.com/ip/Solutions/ap.html]
all details, including the ability to query all document tables, are in:

Dear Experts,
I would like to make an approval procedure applicable on A/R Invoice.

AME Approval Query

Hi ,
We are on R12 and using Iproc and AME.
For Requisition Approval, currently we have defined Rules with Header Item class to generate a list of approvers using an Approval group.
So, if a Requisition has 10 lines, then the req is sent for approval to the relevant approval groups once based on Rules defined.
eg: Req1-> Approval Group1 -> Approval Group2 -> Approval Group3 -> End
Say, a Requisition is approved by approver Group1 and then if someone changes one of the lines, and resubmits the Requisition, it then goes for re-approval to ALL the approval groups again.
Is there a way to prevent this and make it go to the remaining approvers ONLY(Group 2 and Group3) ?
I know this is not an ideal approach, but for now just need to know in theory if this is possible using the setups in AME.
Thanks
SG

Hi,
You could look into AME attributes if there is one that allows this desired functionality. May be repeated approvers or something like it.
In worst case you can write the approval group queries to avoid re-approvals. Use ame_temp_old_approver_lists table to identify the approvals that are already done. The item ID in this table is transacttion_id (requisition_id).
Although i am not very certain if ame_temp_old_approval_lists will have data while approval group 2 query is run but its worth a try.
