But for the documents in the approval tab shows automatic approval for the documents, but in the query report for the the document shows awaiting for approval.

Hi,
What is the document status and workflow status in BBP_PD transaction?
I guess there is some error when creating follow-on document.

Shopping Cart is awaiting for approval even it is not needed.

Hello friends,
I am implementing SRM 5.0 and i am facing problem related to approval of shopping cart.
Even the shopping cart does not need any approval the status is showing as
it is awaiting for approval.
When i go in to detailed through transaction sw2i_freq the system status is in " error".
What could be the possible reason for this situation? .
i am using SRM 5.0 with service packe 6.0.
I appreciate your valuble answers.
Thanking you,
Mahesh Madasu.

Hello Mahesh,
If the error message is like Error when processing node '0000000241' (ParForEach index 000000), check the note 962488 "Workflow definition '&' not in version '&'".

Shopping cart in status awaiting for approval

HI ,
Scenario is
case 1 SC is created and ordered, but status is having awaiting for approval.
when we did dummy changes in SC and ordered, then we got approved stattus.
my problem why in first case work flow is not started .
Appreciate your efforts and will be rewared.

Hi,
When you ordered the cart first, did you check if a workflow was started?
BBP_PD -> SWI6
If a workflow was started then expand the workflow in the technical workflow log to see if there are any errors in the log.
If the workflow was not started then check with the start conditions to see if they match the first cart cart. Refer to note 322526 for other checks to carry out.
Which release are you using?
Kind regards,

RFC function to list shopping carts awaiting approval

Hello people,
do you know a RFC function to display the shooping carts that are awaiting approval by a manager (an user id) ?

SC status is still in Awaiting for Approval Even after PO and confirmation creation.

Hi Experts,
We have SRM 7.0 with Classic scenario, Here we have strange case where for One SC already backend PO created and Confirmation is done. Still SC status is showing as Awaiting for approval. Kindly Help me to solve this issue.
Thanks in advance

Hi Basu,
What is the workflow framework that your are using. Is it application controlled workflow?
1. Go to T code BBP_PD and check if the workflow triggered for the shopping cart is in in-Process status. If it is in in-process status copy the header workitem and go to T code SWPC , remove all the values displayed in the selection screen just enter the header work item ID and execute. If you are able to see any entry after execution select it and click on continue workflow. this will fix your problem.
2. Check in transaction SM58 to see if there are any failed entry on the day of shopping cart creation , if there is any entry in failed status please reprocess the LUW.
hopefully any one of the above steps will fix your issue.

Suresh

Confirmation ending in Awaiting for Approval Status

Hi Experts,
The Confirmation of Goods receipt was working fine till last month. Now For some PO's Confirmation is going to Awaiting for Approval status this is happening only for few PO's and for others PO's Confirmation is happening properly and the status is Posted in Backed.
I observed that Workitem ID is not created for those confirmation's which are in Awaiting for Approval Status.
Please help me resolve this issue.
Any valuable inputs are Appreciated.
Thanks and Regards,
Devananda A J

Hi,
First point if you make a GR confirmation means the PO change version will be generated and the PO workflow will restart for the PO change version.
Goto BBP_PD and enter PO number check the PO change version is closed or not. If it is not closed then PO change version workflow will be in Error. If it is in Error then GR confirmation workitem will not be genrated.
all these things will happen because of if you create a GR confirmation or any changes made to PO when the PO status is still in Transfer status.
regards,
Devi

It looks

SAP Note 962488 requests for the SWD_WFD_REPLICATE_FROM_9999 function module teo be executed. However did not solve the problem.
Also note 981295 was verified and is not for our problem.
Any better answer?

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 .

Shopping Cart change by approver is not updating in approval preview screen

We are using SRM 4.0 in ECS and have been noticing a problem with the approval preview on the shopping cart when the shopping cart is changed or rejected by one of the added approvers.
The shopping cart was created with multiple line items for materials and when the shopping cart was ordered it workflowed to the 1st approver that was added. He noticed that a price was wrong on one of the line items of the shopping and proceeded to change it and then approved the SC. The approval preview screen in the SC shows that it was approved but the preview does not show that it was forwarded to the next approver listed on the preview screen. However checking in the backend I'm showing the SC sitting in the inbox of the next approver stating: Your shopping cart 'MD D&C LL1 dvf Vetco-Subsea Wellhead Eq' was changed/rejected in part. Please check.
Why isn't the approval preview updating when the SC is rejected or changed?

hi,
This behaviour of the system is as follows , when the first approvers makes the changes and then approves the cart , it will go to the requestor of the shopping cart , and wether the workflow should restart --->
depends on the security level of the approver who is changing the cart -->
you can find the security level of the approver --> in the transaction SU01 ---> persononalization tab ---> key bbp_wfl_security
and the text you have mentioned --->
Your shopping cart 'MD D&C LL1 dvf Vetco-Subsea Wellhead Eq' was changed/rejected in part
this is for the requestor of the cart ---> this is mail which specifies that the first approver has partially approved the cart.

Deletion of Shopping Carts in SHC Approval View

Classic Scenario; SRM 5; R/3 46c
Hello everyone,
I was wondering if you have an approved Shopping cart, I believe that you can delete (by clicking on the trash can icon on the line item level) the shopping cart. Is it possible to control this so that no one can delete/modify a Shopping cart from the SRM side?
Thank you for your help,
Jay

Hi Yann,
As always thank you for your great replies.
My understanding is that you can set so that deletion can be controlled either at:
Deletion will be possible during SC creation
Deletion will not be possible while SC is in approval
deletion will not be possible while SC is approved
If this is the case where do I set this authorization lets say for the BBP_STAL_EMPLOYEE? I apologize for this rather basic question - any short explanation will be awesomme.
Thank you,
Jay

Shopping Cart Approvers for changed shopping carts

Hi
We're currently working on a patching process and are having problems with shopping cart approvals
We have a 2 stage approval for carts over £75K
The scenario that is not working is
The approver 1, approves the cart
Then approver 2 rejects the cart
The shopper then changes the cart by increasing the value
The workflow should resend the cart back to approver 1 but it sends the cart to approver 2
What changes need to be done to send the cart back to the original approver ?

For for n-Level Approval Shopping Cart sub workflow( 14000134 ) the workitem status is set in the container element APPROVE_OR_REJECT when Sc is rejected it is set other than Zero and when is approved it is set to ZERO check in the workflow log whether this conatiner element is getting populated or not.
