Single Step approval BRF Workflow for RFx.

Hi,
I am facing one problem in process controlled workflow for RFx. I have the scenario where I have only one approver but 7-8 reviewer are there in between of approver and initiator for example:
Initiator >reviewer1>reviewer2->reviewer3->....reviewer8-->approver.
For acheiving this I have activated standard single step approval workflow.
But while I am trying to add reviewers to the RFx at the time of creation of RFx the system is not shwing the reviewers. it gets refreshed only reviewers line is added to the reviewers Tab but system did not display any reviewer.
And while I publish the RFx it directly goes to the approver and while i tried to add the reviewer from approver end the same problem is coming.
Please help me. How I cam achieve this functionality.
Thanks & Regards,
Sachin

Hello Ashutosh,
Thanks For your reply. I want to add reviewers at the time of creation of RFx not ad-hoc approvers.
As I explain in my question that I have only one approver in whole approval process rest all are the reviewers only who only do the review and add comments not the approving authority.
Thanks,
Sachin

2 questions on BRF workflow for SC

Hello All
I have 2 questions on BRF workflow as follows:
1) My requirement is that the PO be created only after all the items in the Shopping cart (from all decision sets) are approved by separate agents. How do I enforce this using BRF ?The closest is Decision Type 3: Overall Decision for Partial Document (.The decision applies to the entire decision set)
2) IS it possible to send an approval work item to multiple agents ( Based on a role or custom attribute) and then the work item could be approved by any one of those agents which completes the workflow & deletes all other work items ?
Thanks

PO can only be created only if all approver's approve the SC. it will be great if you give more details about the requirement.
2) IS it possible to send an approval work item to multiple agents ( Based on a role or custom attribute) and then the work item could be approved by any one of those agents which completes the workflow & deletes all other work items ?
Yes - a workitem could be sent to multiple approver's for a decision set, once any one of the appprover approve the SC, the workitem will be deleted automatically from rest of approver's UWL..

Single Step STO Mvt 301 for Stock transfer beteen Company code during Cutover

Dear All ;
I am Planning to use Movement type 301 ie single step STO Beteeen two different company code at the time of Cutover .Is it a feasible solution ?
I am Currently handling a Org Restructuring Project ,Where one company code will be broken into five different company code ( Including Old Company code ) ,and old som of the stock of old company code needed to be shifted to new 4 company codes .
In this Context i am thinking to use 301 ,will it be a feasible solution ?
I have tested in IDES ,It is working ,But I need to be confirm as there is hudge data to be migrated .
Best Regadsl;
Joydeep Mukherjee

Hi Joy,
You can do this in one step as you already have tested in IDES, but depends on your business requirement that in which way you want to handle your stock transfers either by using one step or two steps movement types or by using stock transport orders. Using STO is a good approach for stock transfers between two company codes.

Approval process workflow for Customer XBO

Hi experts,
We have a client requirement which asks for multilevel approval process for Accounts (when a new Account is created/ existing Account is changed). As per my knowledge, there is no standard approval process defined for Customer XBO as of now by SAP.
Also, if the Account creation/modification is 'Rejected' by any manager, then how will the Account be reverted back to its original version? (kind of a rollback)
I had raised an incident for this asking the SAP team whether they will be adding any approval processes for Customer BO in the near future C4C releases. But they do not have any plans of implementing it sooner.
They suggested a workaround as follows:
Add 1 extension field "approval status code" in Account with code values:
1 - To be approved by L1 manager
2 - Approved by L1
3 - Approved by L2......etc for more levels of approval
Reverting 'Rejected' Account to previous state is not possible via PDI. In principle you would have to read the changehistory data and revert to the state before the change was done. But the changehistory BO is/will not be PSM released.
Any workaround or suggestions on how can I go about implementing this requirement? I need to put validations like L2 can approve only after L1 approval.
Please guide and help.
Thanks,

Hi,
why don't you create a screen from which user will create or modify the accounts. after submitting the custom screen , you should start the approval process, once all the approval is done, create or modify the account in SAP.

WS14000088 one-step Approval of contracts

Dear SRM Friends,
I have problem with finding the right approver for my workflow 14000088 one-step approval of contracts.
The process is easy:
My purchaser with user role: SAP_EC_BBP_PURCHASER should create the contract. Afterwards my Manager1 with user role: SAP_BBP_STAL_PURCHASER_MANAGER should approve this contract.
Beside I have to say, that my Manager stands above serval organisational units - but he is the only one - who has this role SAP_BBP_STAL_PURCHASER. And in my workflow this role ist determined.
So I aspect that my Manager1 will be displayd in Approval Preview - but it didn´t. Instead of that there appears the Manager2 of the organisational unit of my Purchaser.
But how can that be? Manager2 did´nt have the role SAP_BBP_STAL_PURCHASER.
I have checked following transaktions:
bbppd with BUS2000113_
with result:
workflow item:
workitem - ID: 79856
Task: WS14000088
Text: one-step approval of contracts
Status: started
Statustext: in process
Node ID: 000000023
Agent: Mr xyz
User: Manager2
State: Ready
Workitem:79856
Created at: 18.09.2009
Finished at: "Blank"
Discription: First Approval
Node ID: 000000092
Agent. "Blank"
User: "Blank"
State / Worktitem:No workitem found
Created at: "Blank"
Finished at: "Blank"
Discription: New Approval
OOCU ( Assign Agents ):
WS14000088
Role: SAP_BBP_STAL_PURCHASE_MANAGER
SWDD ( Workflow Builder ):
WS14000088
TS14007969 first approval
here I wanted to add my Agent "Manager1" but I get following message:
"general task can be edited by all user"
PPOSABBP ( organisational Model ):_
Attributes for my Manager1
User Role: SAP_BBP_STAL_PURCHASER_MANAGER
Transaction Type: Contracts / ID: CT_PROC_TY / Value: PCTR
So - I don´t have any ideas what to do.
I would be glad If someone have any ideas.....
Best Regards

Hi,
The approver for one-step approval of contracts is determined from the org structure as the manager of the user that creates the contract. So this is working correctly for you since manager2 is the org manager. The check on the agents of the task also occurs and since this is set to general, then manager2 will always be selected. Basically the intersection between the agents of the task and the org unit manager will be selected. If you change the agent of the task to have the SAP_BBP_STAL_PURCHASER role, then you will get an error when creating the contract since no approver will be found.
If you want to have the approver determined in a different way then you would need to use the n-step approval badi workflow for contract, WS14000148. This will allow you to determine the approver using your own code.
By the way, if you want to change the agents for the task, then display the task in PFTC. Goto
Additional Data ->
Agent Assignment ->
Maintain ->
Click on Attrributes ->
Select radio button -> Forwarding not allowed ->
Now Select from the menu -> Agent Assignment -> Create
You should now be able to add a role.
Hope this helps.
Kind regards,
Siobhan

N Step Approval BADI - BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI

We have implemented this BADI and are having problems with the agent determination.
When creating and ordering the cart the approval preview shows the correct approval agents.
When clicking the 'Agents' button within the workflow log via SWI1, the message 'No selected agents' (Message no. WL795) is shown.
The buffers have been refreshed via SWU_OBUF and the indexes and organisational environment have been refreshed.
Has anyone had this problem before, and if so what steps did you have to undertake to cure it ?
Thanks
Keith

Thanks in advance!

Hi
I took it from sdn.
WORKFLOW FOR PO RELEASE PROCEDURE
Steps involved are :
1) SPRO > MM > Purchasing > Purchase Order > Release Procedure for Purchase Orders > Define Release Procedure for Purchase Orders > Release Codes > here assign Workflow indicator as "1" against each Release Code
2) SPRO > MM > Purchasing > Purchase Order > Release Procedure for Purchase Orders > Define Release Procedure for Purchase Orders > Workflow > Here against each release code assign OT as US and respective User ID's for Release Codes.
3) Go to OOCU > here under MM, go to MM-PUR,
4) Click on "activate event linking"
5) Go for "WS 20000075" and for BUS2012 RELEASESTEPCREATED, click on Detailed view button. Activate "Event linkage activated" and also activate "Enable usage of event queue"
and Save.
6) Click on "Assign agents" and proceed all above steps.
BUS2012 is the relevant business object and Releasestep created is the event for the same.
7) Check SWETYPV transaction for the WF you have activated for BUS2012 and confirm.
Test the same by creating a PO and check the SBWP for SAP Mail of respective Users

LSO Workflow for Participants from Course Admin and Instructor

Hi All,
As par standard SAP we found that there is no approval process/Workflow for participants if they are booked by course administrator/Instructors.
Please suggest if we have to make some enhancements or if I am missing some standard configuration here.
Regards,
Umesh

Hi Connie,
Thanks for your reply,
Yes at the moment I am concentrating on the Classroom training part only.
As you correctly pointed out that the few of the Associates will not have the access to the computers/training system they do request by telephone/email to training department directly and I think this is the process in most of the organizations.
Now if the admin is booking the courses on behalf on the employee, it should go to the Manager for approval and subsequently the employee should be also informed.
So I am looking for similar process.
Kindly let me know if this can be achieved in some way, e.g (some sap customization or some simple enhancements).
Regards,
Umesh

Is N level workflow in SRM suitable for BRF rather than the two step approv

Could anybody give some information about N level workflow in SRM abt whether it is more suitable for BRF (business rule framework) for agent determination rather than the two step approval workflow ?

Hi Rita,
BRF is process level configuration. You will have to define a schema and it will be tied to a Business object (say BUS2121). Schema consists different process steps. Each process step can be tied to a work flow (Task id). So, it doesn't matter whether 2 step or N step WF in BRF for the process step. Agent determination will happen regardless.

How do we customize the agent for Particular task.
plz Help me..
Balaji.

Hi Balaji,
In addition to disha's remarks also look at the following poibnts which may help you in resolving the issue.
Check in SWDD txn. (Work Flow builder) check whether the agent assignment is proper or not for one step approval work flow.You can manually assign the agent there if required.
Also check whether the person approving the shopping cart has been made as the Head of the department or not in the Org. Structure using PPOMA_BBP txn.Please make the person approving the cart as Head of the department.
Please verify the above points and run a cycle and let us know about the outcome.
Hope this helps in resolving your issue.
Award points for helpful answers.
