Service entry approval process in MM-SRV-SUS by client engineer

Dear Experts,
We are implementing the service entry process in the classic scenario. In the new process, the service agent of the supplier will enter the service entry sheet from the SUS. Once triggering of the service entry sheet is completed, the service entry sheet will have the status of 'No Acceptance'.
Here comes the client requirement. The client wants to have two step approval process for service entry sheet. In the first step, the supervising engineer of the client will approve the service entry sheet. Then the next step of approval will be financial approval which will be done by the cost center manager.
In the existing process in SAP MM, the supervising engineer of the client enters the service entry sheet manually and goes through one step approval of the cost center/org unit manager approval. The existing approval process is implemented with release strategy available in ECC.
How can the new approval process be implemented? What characteristics should be used to enable the system to find the first level approver i.e. the supervising engineer? is it achievable through release strategy?
Any idea or thought will be highly appreciated.
Thanks and regards,
Ranjan

Dear Masa,
Thanks for the advice, I still have one more question.
Does this mean I don't have to follow SAP's advice stated below?
In the Plan-Driven Procurement with Supplier Integration business scenario, you can use Supplier Self-Services (SUS) and SAP Materials Management (SAP MM) in conjunction with each other.
SAP MM is used as the procurement system, since this scenario involves the procurement of direct materials.
*This business scenario is not suitable for the procurement of services or indirect materials*
In other words are there any consequences for using the MM-SUS plan driven procurement scenario for services instead of direct materials?
Kind Regards,
Arie

or 2. we can create new G/l account.
But i had a doubt will it impact anywhere if i change the valuation class.
Can anybody advice me??
Thanks n regards,
Veena

Dear Javeed and Sadhashivan,
Thanks for your answers. Yes we have sort key set on both the accounts and also we have tried to display all the PO relevent fields but unable get through.
Please note we need PO no line wise on the ledger of adjustment accounts NOT on the GR/IR account.
1) Goods Delivered but not yet invoiced
2) Goods Invoiced but not yet Delivered
Hope I have made my point clear.

Service Entry Approval in Workflow

hi,
i have developed workflow for service entry release. When executing workitem in SBWP, workflow getting executed , but service entry sheet is not released. I doubt the release strategy for service entry sheet have to configure correctly for the agent as in PO release strategy. but there is no agent assignment for service release procedure as in PO.Please provide solution for this...
thanks in advance!!

Hi,
This might help you... have not done this myself
You will have to go for an enhancement for this with some Z tables here ...
At the first level you can hold the approval using a decision step for an agent decided by some Z table ... on approval you can forward it for normal approval (what you have), on rejection decide the process you want to follow...
The second time the user approves, your service entry sheet is finally approved.
Besides this use some user exit which will check your first level approval status in some z table...

Gautam

Service Registry - Approval Process

Hi SOA Community,
I need your recommendation on using the service-registry.
I have tree soa-environments (dev, integration-test and production) and want to use the service-registry for looking up some of my created services (some bpel, some esb).
So my first guess would be to install tree service-registries:
1) on my dev-environment the publication SR
2) on my integration-test-environment the intermediate SR
3) on my prod-environment the discovery SR
And now my question according the approval process:
1) I publish a new service on the publication SR on the dev that points to my dev-bpel-environment to a bpel-process.
2) I create a approval request on the publication SR
3) I approve the request on the intermediate SR to receive the service
--> Is in this approvement step a way to change the binding-url that points to my dev-env. to the integration-test-env. ? Because i want my intermediate SR point to my integration-test-env.
Best Regards,
Harald

hi,
Have you able to install the two registry?
i am facing problem in enabling SSL?

Self Service Form Approval Process

Hello Gurus,
Your help needed urgently! Im using International Global HRMS the self service responsibility, I have a customized form which is being used by the employee to fill in details and then those details need to be approved. So what I wanted to know was which tables hold the approver's data before and after the approval process.
Thanks and Regards,
Tasneem.

You have to add below roles explicitly. If you look at the description of the roles it should show as below to your assigned roles(I am checking on R12)
Approvals Management Administrator -> Role inherits Process Owner role and System Administrator role. Can also create action type and can modify default config variables.
Approvals Management Business Analyst -> Role which gives full access to business dashboard pages. Does not have Default config variable access and Action Type Create Access.
Approvals Management System Administrator -> Role can create, update or delete transaction types. Also inherits System Viewer. Can access Exceptions log and config variables.
If they are inherited, then the description is quite different. Check you have above description for the roles assigned to your user.
I am not really sure whether this resolves the issue but I remember that I did it to avoid the same error earlier.

Peddi.

.1. In OBYC, check the Account Determination check box is not ticked. This means the account determination is not done from OBYC. It is done as per the account assignment entered in PO. 2. Check OMJJ go to OMJJ and enter teh movement type 101and go to Account geouping folder and click on it
all the line which has KBS in TEKey check the Check acc *** check box than you will not get this error.

Hi All ,
Thanks for your reply.
Here in our business scenario we planned for 30days to work , we have to pay for 30days, but if supllier cannot come to work for 5days, we need to deduct minimum amount for 5days.
for example 30 X100 = 3000
less               5X 80    = 400
Total                          = 2600 instead of 25X100 = 2500.
in this case how to enter SES. total qty always will be positive as per SAP standard.
how to do in this scenario.
as we have already put Service based IV mandatory check, POs are with this check , how to remove this check for the existing POs to enter -ve qty as explained in above scenario.
please help to explain is there any way to uncehck the service based IV in the existing POs.
thnak you.
Udaya

Service Entry Sheet SES Reporting - Additional Planned & Unplanned Services

Hey Experts,
We have activated the ability for users to add additional planned and unplanned services during service entry sheet processing. I am looking for a way to run a report which displays the amount or quantity of additional planned services (services which exceed the amount planned in the purchase order) and unplanned services which have been entered against the purchase order.
Your thoughts would be helpful!!
Leo.

you can get the PackNo details of entry sheet from ESSR and of PO from EKPO. from the packno find the subpack no in ESLL. put the subpack no again in ESLL as pack number and you get the services for entry sheet and PO. you may try a logic to link both

SAP Journal Entry Approval

I would like to know how to go about configuring the SAP journal entry approval process and the business scenarii in which it makes sense to use this functionality. If you could explain a business scenario for which you have used this functionality, that would be very helpful.

Your requirement fulfills as below:
Only Journal entry park and post options are available.
As per my Knowledge there is no seperate process for journal entry approval. One user can park the document and approval user can post the document.

Create Service entry sheet based on % work completion

Dear Experts
Is it possible to enter the percentage for planned services, while creating service entry sheet.??
For example:
My client requirement is like that, while creation service PO, there a planned service like 1 lot - 10,000RS.
while creatiog service entry sheet, they need to keyin like 34.567%, so it possible to keyin as 34.567% while creating service entry sheet. if so please advice me the steps..is there any confiq to be done?
Please advice me..
Regards
Saravanan

Really appreciate your response!
They want percentage enter with min 3 decimal points like 34.567%, its one of most important requirements, bez the 3rd digits of percentage,...will shows big fluction in VALUE. say around like millions.
Thats what they want to be implemented.
While creating service entry sheet, instead of Quantity field, is it possible to bring the Percentage field in SES?
There is one control data in condition table, where we can assign percentage, but i dont know the confiq...i dont know is this the correct place or not...even after change to percentage..whether it will allows 3 digit decimal or not..that one more question?

Saravanan

Cancelling Material Receipts generated from approved Service Entry Sheets

Several service entry sheets were entered twice into SAP and approved for Vendor . Upon approval, material receipt documents were created and because the vendor is ERS, invoices were created and paid. Manual credit memos have been processed in AP so the vendor has been charged back but the GR/IR GL account won't clear without the material receipt reversals.
To properly credit the job and debit the GR/IR GL account for this duplication, reversing material receipt documents need to be created. Anybody knows how to do the correction?
please advise.

Hi,
Please follow the below steps.
01. First Cancel the Invoice
02. GO ML81N and in change mode you will get rewoke service entry sheet, a pop will come for posting dates enter the posting dates. and save . It will change the reverse the GR document created through Service entry. Set deletion indicator if you want.
Thanks & Regards,
Sridhar

Hello, Gregory...
Hi Guillermo,
I've tryed with this FM by 2 ways:

Could you tell me how to that?

I think it is some trash in execution context....

Best Practices for Service Entry Sheet Approval

Hi All
Just like to get some opinion on best practices for external service management - particularly approval process for Service Entry Sheet.
We have a 2 step approval process using workflow:
1 Entry Sheet Created (blocked)
2. Workflow to requisition creator to verify/unblock the Entry Sheet
3. Workflow to Cost Object owner to approve the Entry Sheet.
For high volume users (e.g. capital projects) this is cumbersome process - we looking to streamline but still maintain control.
What do other leaders do in this area? To me mass release seems to lack control, but perhaps by using a good release strategy we could provide a middle ground?
Any ideas or experiences would be greatly appreciated.
thanks
AC.

Hi,
You can have purchasing group (OME4) as department and link cost center to department (KS02). Use user exit for service entry sheet release and can have two characteristics for service entry sheet release, one is for value (CESSR- LWERT) and another one for department (CESSR-USRC1) .Have one release class for service entry sheet release & then add value characteristics (CESSR- LWERT) and department characteristics (CESSR-USRC1). Now you can design release strategies for service entry sheet based on department & value, so that SES will created and then will be released by users with release code based on department & value assigned to him/her.

Integrating CATS with MM-SRV, service entry sheet acceptance

Hi,
We're importing time sheets from CATS to MM-SRV using transaction CATM. When doing so, a service entry sheet is created. However, the service entry sheet is not accepted per default, which means each service entry sheet needs to be accepted in an additional step in order for a GR/accpetance document to be posted.
Do you know of any way to accept the service entry sheet automatically in this flow?
Thanks in advance,
Peter
