Shopping Cart Add Approver option

Hi all,
We have a requirement wherein after creating a shopping cart we can add approver by using the "Add Approver" button on the top, i just want to know what is the backend function module or BADI called while adding the approver manually.
In our case the creator can add his name as approver but this should be prevented, can any one guide me how to do this......
Its very urgent and every one is highly appreciated..........
Regards,
Ravi G

Hi
Which SRM version are you using ?
If you use WS14000133 as an alternative, you can determine the list of approvers flexibly according to your particular requirements.
You do this using the method GET_REMAING_APPROVERS of BAdI BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI, with which you can integrate a logic for determining the approvers for each approval step (this can be more than one) and the number of steps in the entire approval process.
For more details, see the IMG:
Supplier Relationship Management ® SRM Server ® Business Add-Ins for Enterprise Buyer (BAdIs) ® SAP Business Workflow ® Determination of Approvers for n-Step Dynamic Approval Workflow

Changing shopping cart in approval stage-SRM 5.0

Hi All,
I am facing an issue in Integration environment. It is working fine in Dev.
Even if the security level at user details is defined as "Low" (2), user is not able to change the shopping cart in approval status (via Check Status, in case of requester or via Approver Inbox, in case of approver).
Change button is not appearing in the check status.
I checked following SDN blog but this is not helpful as it is working fine in Dev environment witout deactivating this BADI or implementing it as detailed in this blog.

Changes allowed in shopping cart during approval

Hi all,
I am on SRM 7 , ECS.
My reqirements are :
1. The requisitioner should not be able to change the shopping cart during approval workflow.I have changed the authorization level , BBP_WFL_SECURITY , to none " changes are not allowed" in the employee role . But still the requester is able to change the cart during workflow
2. The approver should be able to change the shopping cart during approval workflow.I have changed the authorization level , BBP_WFL_SECURITY , to low " workflow is always restarted when changes are made" in the employee role . But the approver is not able to change the cart during workflow.
3. If the approver rejects the cart , the workflow should end. what is the way to achieve this?
can you please advise on all these points?

Hi,
It is called Process-Controlled Workflow. BRF Workflow is not correct term.
BBP_WFL_SECURITY is for only Application-Controlled Workflow.
>1. The requisitioner should not be able to change the shopping cart
Changing SC is available in standard. You can de-activate Edit Button by custom class. Please check "Extension and Field Control (Personalization)" customizing.
>2. The approver should be able to change the shopping cart
There are 2 task types, Completion and Approval in #Define Process Level"
Completion TS40007952 Approver can change SC
Approval TS40007953 No chnage is available
>3. If the approver rejects the cart , the workflow should end
It is in standard for full reject case. What is requirement for partial reject case?
>4.all header and item information can be changed by the approver
Yes
Team SC concept is also available in SRM 7.0. Team members can edit Team SC before submit.

Movilizer platform (Shopping cart mobile approval) integration with SRM 7

Dear All,
I am in need of integrating the Movilizer platform with SRM 7 for shopping cart mobile approval. The details about Movilizer can be found here. - Movilizer - The Movilizer for SAP Workflow
Could you please share me your experiences/pain points which need to taken care upon the time of implementation. Thanks in advance for your help.
Best Regards,
Bharathi

Dear All,
I have a development over here where the prerequisite of integrating the Movilizer platform with SRM 7 for shopping cart mobile approval is to check the function module on Remote-Enabled.
As of SAP enhancement package 2 for SAP Supplier Relationship Management 7.0 (SAP SRM 7.0), Changes have been made to some standard function modules so that they are no longer RFC-enabled.
Please refer the below link for your reference.
consolut - Changes to Standard RFC-Enabled Function Modules ( RELNSRM_702_RFC )
If the same function module is used by Movilizer and they are no longer RFC-enabled, please do check on that. I will keep you updated on our resolution.
Best Regards,
Bharathi

Changes to shopping cart during approval.

We are running the N-Step approval workflow WS14000133.
The issue we are having is when an approver makes a change to the shopping cart during approval (Task TS10008126) we would like this to trigger the step that sends the cart back to the requestor to check/approve(Task TS10008061).
The desired behaviour occurs if the approver makes a change to the price, but not if other aattributes of the shopping cart are changed such as the vendor or the description.
The workflow determines if the cart should be passed back to the requestor based on the approve_or_reject flag in the approval task container. This variable is set to 4 when the price is changed, but 0 if other attributes are changed.
The security level for the approver to 'High' so that the workflow does not restart.
Is there any way to control what changes to the shopping cart will cause the workflow to create the task for the requestor.

What I am saying is that I want the workflow to continue and it is. This is not the issue. I am happy with the way that the security level is working.
The issue is that I would like the workflow to send a task to the requisitioner for ANY change that is made to the shopping cart. The standard solution will only send a notification to the requisition if a change is made to the value of the cart.
We need to pick up all changes such as the description or the vendor.
If you look at workflow WS14000134 you will see that after the approval step there is a decision step that will route the workflow to the notification to creator task or by-pass it. This is based on a variable that is set by the approval task. If the value is changed the value is set to 4, but if the vendor is changed then the value remains as 0.
The question here is 'Can we influence the way that this approval state variable is set?'

Hi Ravi,
The program RSWUWFMLEC was used to scehdule offline approval mails upto SRM 4.0(In SRM 5.0,report RBBP_NOTIFICATION_OFFAPP is used)..
Please see the foll link for more deatils:
SRM5.0:

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_srm2007/helpdata/en/31/47c6cb8e9249f2bc29444212e4704a/frameset.htm
You need to check the settings mentioned in the link above before you scehdule the report for snding the approval mails to the external email ID's of the approvers.

Print-out of shopping carts - add additional informations

Hi SRM-experts,
one simple question. Is it possible without modification to add in the print-out of the shopping cart additional informations such as the purchase order number. Is there a possibility to customize that function ? Thanks for yours replies.
AW

Hello,
This will need small enhancement in the smatform. You will find it easy.
Use T-Code SMARTFORMS and copy the standard smartform for SC layout "BBP_SC" and create a Z-one and use that by implementing the BADI BBP_CHANGE_SF_SC.
You can get the PO value from the table BBP_PDBEI.
Hope this solves the issue.
Thanks

Hi all,
We would like to a add a new custom field in 'Source of supply/Service Agents' section of shpping cart item level. Could anyone let us know in which structure do we need to add a field to show up on the shopping cart screen?
When we append a structure with that one field in BBP_PDS_SC_ITEM_ICU and BBPS_CUF_ITEM, it is showing up in 'basic data' but we want that in 'source of supply/service agents' area of the item.
Any help will be greatly appriciated.

Hi Laurent,

Monitor Shopping Carts with approval overview

Hi experts,
Do you know of any report similar to BBP_MON_SC that shows also the approval overview, or at least who is the current approver that has to release the Shopping Cart?
Many thanks,
Ezequiel

Hello Ezequiel,
Actually, BBP_MON_SC is a transaction which is suitable for the administrators.
If you would like to assign the same to users who has employee role, you will have to create custom specific role to suit your modification.
BBP_MON_SC belongs to role SAP_BBP_STAL_ADMINISTRATOR.
Through transaction BBPSC04 (Shopping Cart Check Status), you can see the approval preview, but within this transaction, user can see only his own shopping carts.
Via BBPSC04 is not possible to check shopping carts from other users, only your own documents.
Actually, there is no standard transaction where you can look for carts from other users without administrator role.
I hope this helps.
Kind regards.
Ricardo

SRM Shopping Cart Offline Approval

1. I see from SAP Note 1166763 there is a Consulting Solution for the Blackberry. I see from various SAP Notes that other customers do approve Shopping Carts via the iPhone.*
Does SAP also have a Consulting Solution for the iPhone?
Are there any additional hardware/software requirements to approve Shopping Carts via the iPhone?*
2. Not all users may have a Blackberry or iPhone. They may have to approve via Mircrosoft Outlook, as described in this URL: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_srm2007/helpdata/en/31/47c6cb8e9249f2bc29444212e4704a/content.htm*
s the Offline Approval method configurable by user? Can some users approve via MS Outlook, and some users by Blackberry or iPhone?

Hi
The Blackberry Consulting solution can be used for iPhone too. The solution works this way, The email communication happens through SRM SErver and your mail server for these devices. When email comes back from these devices, the SRM programs for offline approval reads the emails for some particular action (may be YES NO or , APPROVED etc). If the return email has the information in it, then offline approval programs gets executed and approves the cart.
So the solution is just to decode the incoming email and then process the work item

Shopping cart awaiting approval error

Hello all, I have a shopping cart with two approvers, first approver approves on 13.10.2008 and second on 14.10.2008.
If I see transactions SWI6 and SWIA workflow appears as completed (I can't complete manually work item because its status is completed).
But when I see status for shopping cart still has awaiting approval and I can't run program BBP_GET_STATUS_2 and CLEAN_REQREQ_UP for this shopping cart.
Program BBP_GET_STATUS_2 throws this error: No Shopping Cart (REQUIREMENTS) Found with Status = Transferred.
What can I do?
Thanks
Rosa

looks like there is problem in the transfer process..
you can find details in the transaction --> bbp_pd -->
with object type --> bus2121 and object id --> shopping cart number..
you can see --> status --> error in transmission -->

Deleted Shopping Cart awaiting approval

Greetings SRM Gurus,
I have a case of two shopping carts which are shown (under monitor shopping cart) as having been deleted, yet they are appearing in the users approval list as awaiting approval.
In the approval list they are greyed out so the user cannot approve them, and I need to know how to remove them from this list.
Simple really !!!!!
Adrian

Hi,
Use Transaction SWWL to delete work items from the specific User Inbox
Another way would be if you want the workitem to be removed from the approval inbox , then you need to find the workitem id through the workflow log.
Then run the function module 'BBP_PDH_WFL_DELETE' ( exact name i dont remember ) and give the workitem id as input.
Then the shopping cart will be removed from the approval inbox and also necessary changes will be made in the workflow log .
