SRM 7.0 SP05 - BRF Item level approval does not work

Hi Experts,
I am working on process controlled workflow for shopping cart approval process. I have defined necessary process levels and workflow works fine for a single item SC.
I have selected decision type as "Item-based approval for partial document" for each process level and hence expect each line item (according the start condition) should have it's own set off approvers, but instead of this, system determines approvers at header level and hence item which does not really need approval undergoes approval as well.
Could you please help me to resolve the issue?
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Amit

Hi Bharat,
Yes, we are using the copy of the standard implementation. We are looking into the BADI implementation and trying to assign a separate AREA GUID to each line item. Hopefully, when different aggents are assigned to these AREA GUIDs, it will enable the item level approval. I will keep you updated.
Meanwhile, it would be really helpful if you could share some sample code of such badi implementation which can help me to understand it more clearly.
Thanks & Regards,
Amit

Item Level Permission does not work as designed

Here is the problem.
We have a site with a site members group with created permission level called vnContributor that differs from contributor in that they cannot edit delete items or versions, or create alerts.
We have a site owners group who have a custom permission level called vnOwner that allows them to add, edit, delete, view, and open items and view versions. They do not have "Manage Lists"
The list permission settings were set to view everyone and edit everyone. In this setting, however members could not see or edit anything, and owners could see and edit everything, regardless of whether it was theirs or not.
So I changed the list permissions level to edit only their own and changed the members to the OOTB contributor permission level. I then opened the calendar and added a new item as a user in the members group.
There was no change. Members still could not edit their items. Owners could see and edit everyone's items.
This is not how this is advertised to work.

On June 11, 2008 Rachel.lane entered the following request
"I would like to hide/show the edit button on a list item's edit form based on whether the user is the item's creator. The reason I want to do this is because SharePoint's out-of-the-box behaviour is such that when a user edits someone
else's item, the Access Denied page pops up AFTER the user makes his/her edits and presses ok.
" My users want the edit button to be hidden so they don't have to go through the steps of making the edits, press ok, and then find out their access is denied."
My users want the same thing.
Alex Santos1 said that "One approach is to give each list item it's own permission- giving the owner (creator) full access while giving everyone else read access."
However everything I seen about giving item level permission seems to utilize the method I've already been doing which does not hide the Edit button. Does anyone know how to pull off what he was suggesting?

The Create List Item workflow action does not work in document library with document template

My end goal is more complex but below is a basic example of the issue I’m having that just simply does not work.
I'm trying to use a site workflow to create an item in a document library that has a document template applied to it but the file that gets created by the workflow is corrupt and cannot be opened.
I created a document library and edited the document template by adding some text to the header and changing it to a Word docx file instead of a Word dotx file. I tested the document template by clicking the files tab in the ribbon and then clicking new
document which opens the document template in Word and allows me to edit and save the document back to SharePoint. Then I created a SharePoint 2013 site workflow in SharePoint Designer that contains a single Create List Item action, and that action creates
an item in the document library with the name field statically defined. I published the workflow and then manually start it on the site. The workflow completes successfully and when I navigate to the document library the document has been created by the workflow.
When I click on the document to open it in the Word Web App it throws the error pictured below and if I open it in the Word client application it just opens a blank document and not the correct document template.
I also tried using a SharePoint 2010 workflow with pretty much the same results. Opening the document in Word Web App gives the same error as above and opening the document in the Word client application gives the error pictured below.
Come on Microsoft creating a Word Document in a SharePoint Document Library from a SharePoint Workflow should just work! Is this a bug or does anyone have any ideas on what is causing the this issue?

I had the same problem with corrupted document - this worked for me:
1. Create a 2010 Workflow which creates the list element in a document library
(you may start this workflow from your 2013 workflow if applicable)
2. In the Create New List Item properties - make sure to set ContentTypeId to your content type
("Id for indholdstype" is Danish for "Contenttype ID")
3. Your Content Type template should be a ".docx" file - NOT a ".dotx" file...!
(I have always created my templates for content types as .dotx files - seems Microsoft wants us to use ordinary .docx files as template files for content types)
Hope this helps you!

JRE System-level settings does not work - JRE1.6.30

Also I wish to place the deployment.properties configuration file is not user-specific path. The default location is

GPP item-level targeting filter not working as expected

I am trying to set the Internet Explorer homepage via user Group Policy Preferences (GPP) registry setting for a very specific group of users. I am using item-level targeting to accomplish this but am having trouble getting the logic working as expected.
Here is my item-level targeting filter:
The user is a member of the security group CONTOSO\FireRescueDept
AND this collection is false
The user is a member of the security group CONTOSO\EmergencyManagementDept
OR the user is a member of the security group CONTOSO\PublicSafetyDivision
The user in question is a member of both CONTOSO\FireRescueDept and CONTOSO\EmergencyManagementDept. I believe this means that this particular registry GPP setting should NOT apply to the user in question and that is the outcome I desire.
Here is how I'm thinking about it:
The user is a member of CONTOSO\EmergencyManagementDept; therefore, "The user is a member of the security group CONTOSO\EmergencyManagementDept" evaluates to TRUE.
Since the other item in the collection is connected with the boolean OR operator, the collection evaluates to TRUE regardless of the evaluation of "The user is a member of the security group CONTOSO\PublicSafetyDivision."
The item-level targeting filter is looking for the collection to evaluate to FALSE. Since the collection has evaluated to TRUE, the evaluation "This collection is false" is FALSE.
Because of the AND operator in front of "This collection is false", both "The user is a member of the security group CONTOSO\FireRescueDept" and "This collection is false" must evaluate to TRUE in order for the item-level targeting
filter to determine that the user in question to apply the GPP setting the filter is attached to. However, since "This collection is false" has already evaluated to FALSE, the filter as a whole should evaluate to FALSE and this GPP setting
should not apply.
However, according to gpresult it does apply.
Please advise. I want this particular setting to apply to users in the CONTOSO\FireRescueDept group unless they are a member of CONTOSO\EmergencyManagementDept and/or CONTOSO\PublicSafetyDivision.

In my experience, it DOES work with universal groups... Are you
suffering from token bloat? How many groups is the user a member of?

Two level approval workflow not working

Hi Experts,
I am making a workflow which have two level approval , now the problem is that the first level approver is going only to workflow initiator and if I use any other ID it is not working , it just hangs there.
Secondly if I send the first approval to workflow Initiator and it approves it then it hangs with second decision step.
I have made the agent assignment as general task. I have also checked SWU3 and all the things in that are activated.
Kindly help me in this issue.

Invoice Parking - 2 Level Approval Workflow not working

Hi,
I am having trouble making the two level approval work for invoice parking functionality. I have maintained Release Level = 2 and Sub w/f = WS10000053.
Rest I have configured as detailed in this link http://www.thesapconsultant.com/2008/09/simple-sap-workflow.html
When i test the above workflow from SWDD it is working fine. i.e., first one user gets the workitem and after he approves/rejects, it is going to second user. This proved that the user assignment i have maintained is correct.
But when I park the invoice (using "Save As Completed" button) using FV60, it only going to one user. After he/she approves/rejects it is not going anywhere. I checked in SWI1 transaction where no open tasks (error or hanged etc) are seen.
Can anyone please advise if i am missing anything?

Multi Level BOm is not working in SAP afs

Hi Experts,
I am facing issue in MRP.For multi level bom's ,Requirements is not getting generates.Is there any settings is there to active multi level bom for afs materials.
please suggest solution
Thanks and Regards,
Deepika.

Hello Deepika,
As we know AFS materials are planned at SKU level (Grid and stock categories) you can use AFS MRP (/N/AFS/MD02) only.
Please refer OSS note Note 981747 - FAQ - AFS Production Planning
Question 5 Made-To-Order Planning -Multi-Level (MD50) does not work for AFS Materials and Sales Orders containing AFS materials.
Answer: Made to Order Multi level planning functionality was never enhanced for AFS and hence transaction MD50 is not supported.
Steps are as,
1. Create a MTO/PTO sales order for an AFS material.
2. Run AFS MRP using transaction code /AFS/MD02.
3. Convert the planned order to production order.

Header and item level approval using N level BADI

Hi Experts,
I beleive we can use either header level or item level approval workflow (WS14000133 and WS14500015) using N Approval-BADI. Please advise what information approval will be able to see if we will be using WS14000133 (Header level approval). Can he see all line item information or header level only.
Regards,
Kamal

In SRM the same BADI is used for SC, PO, Invoice and others as well.. If you see the example implementation provided by SAP, you can see the use of CASE statement with different Business Objects and code under it.
Irrespective of the Header level or Item level approval workflow the same BADI has to be implemented.
The difference between Header and Item Level approval is
1) In Header level, approval or rejection is done for the whole cart (there can be 1 item or multiple items).
Approver will be able to see all the items in the cart.
2) In Item level, approval or rejection is done for each and every line item. here is an example ---
Line item 1 has Cost Center as Account Assignment Category and has to be approved by Users A and B.
Line item 2 has Internal Order as Account Assignment Category and has to be approved by Users C and D.
Item 1 goes to user A and once approved, it goes to B. they will not be able to approve or reject item 2. but we can restrict user A and B to see item 2 or not by setting a flag..
Item 2 goes to user C and once approved, it goes to D. they will not be able to approve or reject item 1. but we can restrict user C and D to see item 1 or not by setting a flag..
The SC will get released only after all the items are approved.
For Header Level approval, you need to fill the APPROVAL_TABLE.
For Item Level approval, you need to make use of APPROVAL_TABLE, ITEM_APPROVAL_TABLE and ITEM_APPROVAL_OBJ.
Examples provided by SAP might give you an idea how to code for Header and Item Level.
Hope this gives you some information .....
Regards,
PR.

Line Item Level Approval For SC-SRM7.02-WS14500015

Hi Expert,
I am using workflow template WS14500015 for line item level approval.i have few doubts on this
i am using cost center based approval, so if the 1st line item is approved will it generate a PO or will it wait for the entire shopping cart to be approved.

Hi Mano,
Are you using application controlled workflow or process controlled workflow?
For process controlled workflow you can refer to the SRM 7.0 Workflow guide:
https://websmp108.sap-ag.de/instguides > sap business suite and applications> SRM 7.0 > Workflow Guide - SAP SRM 7.0 and Configuration guide.
Page 16, Approval Processes in SAP SRM; you will understand possibilities of SRM 7.0 process controlled workflow and then decide which one you need.
Also refer to 7 Appendix B: Approver Determination Strategies in the Standard
This has few example classes/BADI implementation for agent determination which you can refer to.

Ashish

Line Item Level Approval For SC-SRM7.02

Hi Experts,
I am working on the line item level approval based on cost center. can some one help me in achieving this?
i have few doubts regarding this
1) we are using application controlled workflow is it feasible to achieve this functionality ?
2) will separate PO will be created for each line item?.
some pointer would be really helpful.

Hi Mano,
1. Yes, but would suggest to use new process controlled workflow.
2. No, Cost center is not a split criteria for PO creation. Of course you can overwrite it with ABAP.

Your solution design must of course depend on the functional requirements (specification). I can not (will not, I have a job to attend to even if I tend to spend too much time here on SDN sometimes) tell you everything that is involved in the workflow builder, nor what the graph should look like.
There is not one answer to these questions. You can probably find several (more than two) different technical solutions that meet the requirements. Not all will be equally elegant. Not all will be equally robust. Not all will be equally maintainable. Some will give a higher system load than others. And so on, and so on. You have to make the choices, not some fellow SDN-er far away from you and your customer.
First question: is approval of level 1 and 2 approvers performed independently for each item or depending on the previous level being completed (i.e. must all level 1 approvers approve before relevant items are sent to level 2 approvers)?
If they are handled independently, you can create a subworkflow and use dynamic parallel processing to instantiate it for all items. If there is dependence, you can perhaps use two dynamic parallel processing steps, first for level 1 approvers and then for level 2 approvers.
Second question: what happens if an approver rejects an item?
There is no easy way out, you have to spend time to find out what the best solution is. I'm not here to spoon-feed anyone any solutions, but I don't mind telling what my ideas are. OK, once in a while I will actually give someone a complete solution, like many others here, but that's mostly to very specific and limited questions. Your query is very broad and nearly unlimited in scope.

N level workflow. item level approval

Hello,
How does item level approval work in N level workflow ?
1) Suppose the shopping cart has 3 items then does the workflow proceed only after all the three approvers approve their items ?
2) Does the approval workitem stay in the approvers inbox will the time all are approved ? and if yes does the approved workitem appears differently ?
3) Does the approver see only his item or all other items too? if he does then are the other items greyed out?
4) What happens if or more of the approvers changes the contents of the item or rejects the item? Does the entire shopping cart again goes to the requestor and what happens to the other approver workitems ?
5) Is it possible to have shopping cart level approval workflows as well for N level workflow ?
Where can I find this information in sap help?
Kindly help its urgent !! thanks !!
