Second level approval of SC before first level completed?

Hi all!
This one may be quite obvious, but my customer has requested that a second level approver should recieve a workitem as soon as that same item has been handled in the initial step.
Is it possible to bypass the sequential process (as hinted by the Java applet), using branches?
And, of course, does the approval_branch parameter have anything to do with it? I've tried, to no avail.
Thanks, again!
Best regards,
Mike

Hello,
Parallel approval is not in the SRM workflow scope.
What can be done is item level approval where an approver works on some items and a second one on the others at the same time. But a same item cannot be sent twice in 2 different task (In that case, the "branch" parameter will be handle by the system. But you cannot influence it.)
Some people think that parallel approval could reduce the time of the approval process. But the best way to reduce it is to reduce the number of approvers

Determining second level approver for travel expense claim workflow

Hi Experts...
In Travel Expense claim workflow,we are using two level Approval.The employee has to enter his data for expense claim through ESS..Then expense claim is submitted and sent via workflow to the Travel department. Travel Dept verifies the expenses against the bill and approves the claim by selecting the next level approver and attaching the scanned copies of the bill.
I made copy from the standard workflow WS20000040.
How can i select the next level appover in first level approval step???
Is there any FM or BAPI or BADI???
Please help me ...
Thanks in Advance
Regards,
Hemalatha.

Hi Hemalatha,
I have small tricky workaround to find out the second level of approver.The Standard Rule available can reused again by passing manager's Position.i.e
After first level completed , store manager position in container variable and pass it to the same task rule so the task is sent to the manager's approver .
Message me if needed more details.

PR transfer to SRM at second level approval

Dear Experts ,
we have classic schenario of SRM 7.0 , we want to transfer PR to SRM before final release from ECC.
can anybody suggest where it is decided that at this particular level of approval PR got transfer to SRM
we have badi ME_REQ_SOURCE_CUST implemented to send PR to SRM , but this is happening at final release after all the approvals .
can we trigger this transfer at second level of approval. we have six level of approvals
is it poosible

Hi Muthu ,
Thanks for the response .
We are on Classic Scenario SRM 7.0.
We do not want any approvals in SRM , we are carrying out Bidding for the PRs created in ECC through SRM. Our Business requirement is as below -
PR is created , will trigger 8 levels of approval /Release depending on the configuration set up.
The level 2 approver will decide whether it is to be transferred to SRM or not. Its a manual decision and we have done development for this and it works fine.
But, by the approval at level 2 itself, system should trigger the XML i. e Transfer PR to SRM.
And the next levels of approval should be blocked.
In SRM, we carry out biddng and quote comparision and after that the level 2 person will initiate the next level of approvals.
My Business wants ,the quotes ,vendors etc when the PR is getting approved by the SCM Heads i.e. Level 3 approver.
Appreciate your response on this.

Akash.

Steps required for second level approval Workflow

Hi,
Can any one explain me step by step procedure of how to configure 2 level approval process in SRM.I have activated the second level approval for SC.But after this what i have to do. Where can i set the value conditions in workflow?How system will decide for one level approval it has to go for a person "Y" and for 2nd level approval it has to go to Manager?
kindly help me out in this
regards
subbramanyam

I think you have to activate the below workflows in the system which automatically identifies the number of levels that it should cross.
WS14000133
WS10000049
WS14000134 ---> This Sub workflow determines, is there any next approver or not?.

Second level Approver Missing

Hi..
As per the approval matrix 25000-50000 is two level approval is required..
But at the user end at the time if raising SC in Approval Preview only 1st level Approver is visible second level is not present.
I hav checked Approval Matrix its Correct...i have uploaded it again.. still not showing second level..
Regards,
Neha

Hey the only basic problem I can see with that is already written over there.
IS SECOND LEVEL -- Response Tab -- For FALSE - Task to Generate -- nothing (Status R).
So you have defined that with 'FALSE' response status you are rejecting your task, and if you are rejecting your task then your approval is finished. What you need to modify over here is just change the Status to 'C' which will let your workflow know that now there is no second level required and the approval stands completed.
I think you will not be able to change the response to 'C' for this because you have already used this 'Task Response' for some tasks. What you can do for this is -
1) Eitgher go and update the database for this mapping.
2) Send some other response from the file in place of FALSE. eg Send NO and then mark it as completed- 'C'
You should be done.
Thanks

[SOLVED] ADF BC : View Object "second level" Entity reference issue

hi
If I insert a row in a View Object that uses "two levels" of Entity references, the attributes of the Entity on the "second level" don't get a value.
Consider these tables:
MY_ROW (MY_ROW_ID, MY_ROW_STUFF, MY_ROW_LU1_ID)
MY_ROW_LU1 (MY_ROW_LU1_ID, MY_ROW_LU1_STUFF, MY_ROW_LU1_LU1_ID)
MY_ROW_LU1_LU1 (MY_ROW_LU1_LU1_ID, MY_ROW_LU1_LU1_STUFF)
Where MY_ROW.MY_ROW_LU1_ID is a "look-up" in MY_ROW_LU1 and MY_ROW_LU1.MY_ROW_LU1_LU1_ID is a "second level look-up" in MY_ROW_LU1_LU1.
I created default Entities and Associations on these tables and a View Object that uses all 3 Entities (MyRow as Updatable, MyRowLu1 and MyRowLu1Lu1 as Reference).
See example code in
http://verveja.footsteps.be/~verveja/files/oracle/ViewObjectEntityReferenceIssue-v0.03.zip
(contains no Java code, all out-of-the-box ADF BC)
problem scenario:
If run the MyRowService Application Module in the Oracle Business Component Browser and "open" the MyRowViewAll View Object instance, I get the rows and their related "look-up values".
If I click the "Insert a new record" button and fill out values for MyRowId, MyRowStuf and MyRowLu1IdEntity, I only get "look-up" values for the "first level". While the "second level" stays empty.
For example, a MyRowLu1IdEntity of "2003" gives a MyRowLu1Stuff value of "2003 stuff", but no value in MyRowLu1Lu1Stuff.
What am I doing wrong? What should I change to also get a value in the "second level" MyRowLu1Lu1Stuff attribute?
many thanks
Jan Vervecken

Jan,
If you create a view object on Emp and Dept, with Dept as a reference entity, you might choose to build the view object to only include the:
Emp.Empno (required, since it's the PK of Emp entity usage)
Emp.Ename (included since you want to show the ename)
Dept.Deptno (required, since it's the PK of the Dept entity usage)
Dept.Dname (included since you want to show the dname)
The wizard enforces the inclusion of the required attributes above.
When you run this view object, a join is performed and you see the reference data.
Now, if you want to allow the user to UPDATE the reference data, you need to add one more attribute to the list of attributes:
Emp.Empno
Emp.Ename
Emp.Deptno (To allow user to change Deptno employee belongs to)Dept.Deptno
Dept.Dname
At this point, not only is the join performed for you, but the ADF BC reference mechanism reacts to any modification of the Emp.Deptno attribute, correctly showing the reference information for that new foreign-key-referenced department (even before commiting and requerying, at which time the SQL join would pickup that correct, related information).
The "second level" problem you describe in this thread is simply the same issue described here as a master/first-level-detail situation, taken to its logical next step. If you want the end-user to be able to change the second-level detail to which the first-level-detail is associated, you need to include the first-level-detail's foreign key attributes in the view object's select list. Otherwise, there is no foreign key attribute whose value-change event the framework can react to in order to coordinate the related reference data in the row.
I've blogged a link to a working example of a four-level reference information view object here:
http://radio.weblogs.com/0118231/2007/05/09.html#a818
based on the HR schema.

Second level Manager Unable to view the leave request

Hello Experts
We are using three levels approval leave request, first level manager able to approve successfully, when second level manager approving the leave request is unable to see any contents inside the request, its showing blank.
Kindly help me on this.
Thanks
Neelima.

Hi,
I have a requirement in which I have to sent Leave Workflow to three approvers. For that I maintain the approvers in a customising table. What I did is, I took a copy of the standard Leave WF and added a step in loop (to read the table maintained, through a bor method). For the last approver, he has to get the standard leave approval task and for that reason i looped my custom bor for 2 times and put the standard leave approval task outside the loop.
Now the issue is that, eventhough the first approver gets the workitem and approves that, the next approver is not getting the workitem for him. Workflow is going into an error state stating that the successor node is not found.
Please tell me whether my approach for customising leave workflow is correct. And if correct, what could be the reason for the error that I get.

How to load second level nodes dynamically in jTree?

Hi,
I'm new to jTree & I want to load jTree with two levels of Hierarchy dynamically.
First level nodes I loaded from the database directly.
And regarding the second level nodes, I want them to be loaded only when I expand the first level nodes(on tree expansion), instead of loading it before-hand itself.
I tried this in TreeExpansion event, but still my tree was not refreshed.
Is there anyother way to do this .....?
Thanks.

Problem with open in new window for second level tab

Hi Friends,
I am using 2 level tabs in my application. In my second level tab when i right click and select *open in new
window* it is giving Page not found error. But for the first level tabs it is working correctly. How can i fix this so
that either i can show the page when right click the tab and select open in new window or disable the right clicking
for the second level tabs. Please help,
Thanks
Jeev

Hi,
I don't think its exactly possible, as tabs use javascript:doSubmit('somevalue'); and you can not open javascript in a new window, as javascript usually references the current page you are on, and since you open the javascript in a new window, it doesn't know what to reference. The most helpful thread I found was : Re: Open other tab in a new window (ATD reply, third from the bottom).

Linked report from second level drill-down level

Hi,
I have a report with two drill-down levels, Dept Id and Job Id.
The requirement is when I am on Job Id drill level; I have to call another report when I click on any of the Job Id. This Job Id is passed to another report and the report is filtered based on that Job Id.
I created a hyperlink on Job Id drill down level successfully. But the problem is I am unable to go to the first level i.e Dept Id. Actually the hyperlink is displayed and the up arrow is not visible to go to the first level.
Is there any way where after creating a link on second level and opening the report in a new window, the drill up functionality can be maintained?
I am using Business Objects XI 3.1 version.
Thank you.

hi
there is another way to drill down the report of web intelligence.for that we have to customize in the universe level create a folder in custom hierarchy and add your two objects to that folder, i.e empid. and deptid. the order of these objects should be in the way the drilling happens that means if you want to drill down from empid. to deptid. then empid. should be the first object of the folder,save and export the universe to the CMS.Then it ready to use for webi report.Build the query for the report and enable the drill option in the report.Now the report is ready for your requirement.
thanks & regards

unfortunately I must be missing something.
as a test using the hr schema
I was doing a tree view with hire date as the first level then the employee id, last name and first name as the second level.
I hard coded employee id of 187 on a bean called by a button.
the first level is updated unfortunately the second level is not (employee id 107 should not show up)

thanks I am working through that example unfortunately I ran into a problem
previously (in my real application) I was using bind parameters and my query had the following where clause.
( I did this to turn a comma separated list into an in statement)
WHERE    :Bind_Batch_NM_Comma_Sep_List IS NULL
         OR batch_nm IN
               (    SELECT REGEXP_SUBSTR (:Bind_Batch_NM_Comma_Sep_List,
                                          '[^,]+',
                                          1,
                                          LEVEL)
                              batch_nm
                      FROM DUAL
                CONNECT BY LEVEL <=
                                REGEXP_COUNT (:Bind_Batch_NM_Comma_Sep_List,
                              + 1)however in the example presented you are to create view criteria and there is a panel on the right called view object where clause but I can not figure out how to type into it directly
and I find it unlikely I can recreate this where clause using the add item button.
is there a way to manually type the where clause in the view object where clause box?

MPs at second level of BOM

Hi,
I have a header material A-MRP type -PD. independent requirements maintined in MD61 for 25 qty.
I have a bom compoennet B directly below A -MRP type -M1.
Now when multilevel MRP is run for A using MD02 , i see no dependent requirements are generated for B.
when single level MPs is run for B using MD42, no requirements are genrated for B.
How do we plan MPS items used as a BOM component. Is maintining separated PIR for B the only option to plan second level MPS bom items.

Dear Santosh
I v tested your scinario.My setup was like this : PIR -FG -M6-10, M7-200,M8-1000 (Monthly )
FG : TEST234   MRP TYPE : PD Planning Strategy : 10      Indi/Coll : Blank          Stock : 0
ROH : TEST      MRP Type : M1    Planning Strategy : 40     Indi/Coll : 2                 PTF : 30    Stock : 0
ROH: TEST6    MRP Type : PD        Plng St : 40                    Indi/Coll : 2   Stock : 0
It is running perfectly with this set up .I am getting Two PR for TEST /TEST6 and Planned Order for FG.I run MRP with NETCH, 2,1,3,3,2 with diplay material before save marked .
Observation : As PTF -30 days for TEST , I have seen a firmed PR generated as per the BOM qty with the PTF -Check in MD04.
I hope this combination should work .Check if you are missing something .

Second level detail in master-detail via VL does not return rows

Sorry, I did not want to repost the entire thread. Please see the last entry in the following thread for my urgent question.
second level detail in master-detail-detail does not return rows
"second level detail in master-detail-detail does not return rows"
Thanks so much!
Teri

Ahhh ... that explains everything!
You wrote:
ListView1
-> ListRowView2 (via ListRowFkLink1)
-> ListValueView2 (via ListValueFkLink2)
That's why I thought it's a master and two details.
But it's more like:
ListView1
-> ListRowView2 (via ListRowFkLink1)
-> ListValueView2 (via ListValueFkLink2)Is that correct?
That's the explanation.
A ViewLink is basically a RowSetIterator controlling a detail RowSet. When the iterator navigates, the detail RS is refreshed.
When you create a hierarchy in the wizard, the controlling master iterator is always the default iterator! But you used a new iterator (listRowIter) to iterate over your first detail. The default iterator of that first detail didn't move, hence the RowSet of your second detail was not refreshed.
When you navigate in the tester, the tester always uses the default iterator. That's why it worked there.
