Dear Experts,
Currenlt we are working on SRM 5.0 classic scenario and ECC 6.0. I want to implement shopping cart offline approval with outlook.

Thanks
Ravi

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_srm50/helpdata/en/31/ec423b4ac8d506e10000000a11402f/frameset.htm

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.
The job mentioned are only for sending the approval mails.To send the requester notification messages to external mail box (instead of SRM inbox),see the foll thread for more pointers:

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

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.

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.

Can someone please let me knwo if I am missing some configuration? Helpful answers will be rewarded. Thanks

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 -->

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?'

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?

Sumendra

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.

Shopping cart currency issue with Vendor order currency

Hi,
We are using SRM 7.0 with ECC 6.0 with classic scenario.
There is a strange issue :
Vendor order currency EUR.
User currency USD in org plan.but while creating a PO from approved shopping cart in SRM sourcing cockpit it should take vendor currency EUR.but it tooks user currency.why
while checking same shopping cart PO in R/3 it updates with user currency USD (which is in org plan) not with vendor currency EUR.
we don't know why the system is behaving like this.
But when we create a PO directly in R/3 it has taken vendor order currency EUR correctly.
So requesting all please help us where we need to check in SRM or any BADI's are overwritten this. how to debug in SRM.
Thanks in Advance,

Hi,

Offline approval with Adobe forms

Hi All,
We have a case in which we need to send a Adobe interactive form as an attachment to approver's email address(outlook) and perform offline approval.
Could you pls help me guiding how to achieve this?
System is mySAP ECC 6.0.
(I have heard that offline approval is available in SRM, but do not know about ECC6.0)
Thanks in advance.

Hi Akshay,
SRM uses a program to simulate an offline approval. It's not form based.
Adobe forms are better.
But at the end of the day any form is just a UI to enter and display data. It's up to the programmer to decide what happens after the form is uploaded.
There are tutorials on SDN in the Adobe section on how to upload the forms. In the logic behind the upload you need to code in what happens next anyway - i.e. where the form data is to be stored in the system, whether a workflow event should be raised or whatever.
In ECC 6.0 you might want to try using the ISR/PCR technique with Adobe. Where at least the WebDynpro application for viewing the forms are already created, and you put your logic for raising the workflow event in the QISR BADI.
You will probably still need to create a WebDynpro app to allow either mail upload or email receipt of Adobe forms. Both of which are described in the SDN tutorials.
By the way there is a Interactive forms with Adobe forum on SDN where you can put questions if you have any troubles with using the forms or developing a WebDynpro application around it.... but of course please work your way through tht tutorials first.
Hope that helps.

Jocelyn

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......

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.

Open source shopping cart wont open with safari

Hi all...
I'm designing cart templates for a company that supplies an interface for uploading product to an open source shopping cart. The problem is I can't open the shopping carts with safari. They are fine with firefox and on a PC. (forgive me for swearing) The sites are open source carts based on php scripting with a lot of compressed data. A software interface is used to upload products etc... The error I get is
"Safari can’t open the page “not sure if I can put the link here as it is a business”. The error was: “bad server response” (NSURLErrorDomain:-1011) Please choose Report Bug to Apple..."
It's the same for all the sites using the carts.
Is there a fix at the user end or does safari simply not have support for these carts. Any help would be awesome....

PCI Compliance. As a merchant (online or brick & mortar store), you must take necessary steps to ensure your customer's CC info doesn't fall into the wrong hands. One way to do this is to pass your online customers off to a 3rd party processor like PayPal or Authorize.net. These companies are experts in safely gathering sensitive data, encrypting it and transmitting it to your payment Gateway and Merchant Bank account. This way, your customers never enter any sensitive data into your site's databases which avoids a lot of headaches for the web developer and merchant.
Server Security. Use a reliable web host. I can't emphasize this enough. Cheap hosting is no bargain especially if your host doesn't take reasonable steps to secure their servers at their end.
Lock down your php scripts & form log-ins to defend your site against possible hackers & robot exploitation. If your site is ever compromised, you will need reliable backups of your Site files and MySql data. Make sure to backup these files regularly and store them in a safe place.
Backend log-in. Use strong, encrypted passwords -- 17 characters, upper & lower case with symbols. If you can remember your passwords, they're not strong enough. I keep mine written down in a Rolodex.
Change the Admin log-in name to something less obvious like GrandHighExhaltedMysticRuler or something only you will recognize as the site's admin level user. It's also a good idea to change your server, database and backend log-ins regularly.
Finally, consider running SecureLive on your web server. I have it running on a dedicated server and this software has more than paid for itself. It identifies hacker attempts, blocks the user and sends the hacker's IP address to an FBI database. SecureLive - Home
