SRM SC Workflow: Runtime Actual Approval determination

Hi all,
I want to know who approved the SC in runtime within the BADI so that comparing his Approval Limit with the cost of SC I can decide whether to skip or go for next approval levels.
Please help how to find it out. I have checked the history table but it contains a field "Type" whose possible values can only be either "changed" or "insert" and does not indicate "Approve" status for any agent....
Please help,
Thanks

Hi Sangharsh,
I believe that you are using workflow approval BAdI - BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI.
This BAdI is having a table called APPROVAL_TABLE, all the agents in this BADI will appear in your approval pre-view.
You have to write a code in your BADI as follows -
- Check Approval limit of the manager
- If it is more than SC value, append APPROVAL_TABLE otherwise you can skip him.
If you need more help, do let me know.
Thanks and Regards

Hi
Try this BADI - BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI.
BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI
Determin. Approv. for n-Level. Dynamic Approval WFL
You need to make a logic in your case.
Refer to the sample BADI logic.

SRM SC 'N' step workflow - Approver list wrong approver determined

Hi Team,
I am facing a repetetive issue for a SRM shopping cart N-step approval workflow.
Issue description:
1. The approver list populated in 'Subworkflow for n-Level Approval SC' step is incorrect.
2. The BADI for N-step determines correct approver (After running the BADI seperately)
3. The cost assignment (WBS) determined is correct, so no chance of incorrect approver.
Example:
As per WBS (say) E.008.01.02, the correct approver is 'A'.
The BADI when run separately gives 'A' as the approver - which is correct.
But, when the workflow is triggered and the approver list populated in the Sub-workflow step it gives approver as 'B'.
There is no link so as how this approver 'B' is determined.
I am unable to find the step where this BADI is populating this value (Code) and what could be the reason.
Appreciate your help as I am having a production emergency!
Many thanks.
Harsh Dave

Hi Vinoth,
The Task 14007989 deals after the approval list is populated.
If you observe the workflow log of a SC/PO, the step N-step workflow (sub-workflow) itself determines the approval list and then comes the step 'Determine Next Approver' - TS14007989.
I tried to where-used list and it just yielded two FM's - BBP_WFL_DIN_APPR_CONTAINER_GET & BBP_WFL_DIN_APPR_BY_RULE_GET.
But the 1st one is to get only approvers which are already determined in container & 2nd one checks for further approval required (Flag = 'X', see the FM interface).
This one doesn't help!
Thanks for your help, Let me know if you have any more findings on this!

Workflow applet in approval preview (shopping cart) changed in SRM 5.0

Hi,
we have upgrade from EBP 3.0 to SRM 5.0.
The approval preview in the shopping cart transactions (f.e. BBPSC03) now shows only the approval state (in grahpic mode), not the step description from the workflow definition.
In EBP 3.0 was showed the step description.
How can we change the applet output ?

Basic questions in SRM for Workflows+need material

Hi All,
I have developed Workflows in SAP R3.I am very new to SRM. I have following questions -
1. What is the use of BADI when we implement Workflow? My understanding till now is to provide all approvers to the
   Shooping Cart.That means for workflows without approval we dont need to BADI to implement.
2. Is there any other concepts more i have to know? Like in R3 Event will be triggered with help of change doc, status mang., LIS exceptions and all through SWEC tx. is it same in R3?
   Sorry to ask very basic questions.
   Can anyone provide me step to step guide to configure SRM workflows and Cookbook for SRM?
   My Email id is [email protected]
   It will be very helpful for me.
   Thanks in advance.
   Ashwani

Hi,
1.All the n step workflows(where approvers are determined dynamically) in SRM can be implemented only using the BADI "BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI".the main purpose of this BADI is to fetch the Approvers/agents for the workflow.In addition to the n step WF,you also have no approval, 1 step and 2 step approval workflow in which the agent assignment can be done directly(no BADI reqd) and this is applicable for all types of business objects i.e. Shopping cart,Bid etc.For more details refer the foll link;
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_srm40/helpdata/en/17/40a86c773d6c41801d78af1a34b90f/content.htm
2.Work flow concepts are same as in R/3.So techincally you can create your custom workflows in the same way.
Do let me know if you need any further help.
BR,
Disha.
Pls reward points for useful answers.

Hello Gangadhar,
What you want to say is i have not specified the correct URL in Custom Approver Determinator but i have not used the Webservice option in CAD Type but specified the Attribute as Request Type.
In ERM i have specified the correct URL by copying the correct URL using the WSDL.
Can you please brief it?

Custom workflow for Fiori Approve Timesheets

Hello All,
I am investigating complexity of adding custom workflow to Approve Timesheets.
There is BADI SRA010_BADI_TIMESHEET_APV.
Any experiences/advices ?

Hi Lukasz,
How do you change approver using data from Ztable in the current system?
If you are talking about workflow approver determination logic, it is a job for Workflow Engine and not for Fiori.

Purchaser Assignment / PrGrp:Workflow problem:No approver found.WS14000044

Hello,
I am facing a problem concerning the Workflow WS14000044.
In the organizational structure using transaction 'PPOMA_BBP', I went
to the bottom left hand panel. I have assigned a purchasing group to a
purchaser as follow :
Right click on a "Purchasing Group" and I select "Purchaser Assignment"
menu.
Then the right hand panel changes from "Staff assignments"
to "Purchaser Assignment". I select a purchasing group and I assign
this purchasing group to a purchaser.
But when i create the SC, the system does not retrieve the 'approver'
for workflow WS14000044. Error mesage in approval preview : 'no approvers'.
Regards,
Lina

Hi,
Please refer to the following ---
This workflow is started for a shopping cart if the
shopping cart requires completion by the purchaser before
actual approval. You define the criteria used to decide that
further editing is required in the start conditions. Provided that
these criteria are fulfilled, this workflow is started after the
purchaser has edited a shopping cart (and occasionally in the case
of a change during approval). After the purchaser has edited
the shopping cart, the creator receives a work item and
the normal approval process can start.

Approver Determinator in CUP

Freinds,
Any idea about 'BPO' approver determinator for workflow type Complaint user provisioning in CUP and from where this would get names from.
Thanks in advance.
Srinu

No...when you go to create stage..these is a standard approver determinator ' BPO' when you select workflow type 'compliant user provisioning'.
for examlpe if you select security lead as a approver in a stage then the workflow would pick the name from the approvers-> security lead...so if you select BPO in the stage where do we have to maintain the names of the BPO's.
Thanks,
Srinu

CUP Forks & Security Approver Determinator

Hi All,
We are currently working on our CUP workflows and are planning on using forms to distinguish between manual provisioning (systems such as MDM console) and autoprovisioning (ABAP and java stacks). My question is, when we use the fork condition NON-SAP and SAP, where does CUP look to determine this? We are planning on using applications to setup our manual provisioning systems but I also know we could create them as dummy "other" connectors (although messy).
Also, what is the difference between Security Lead and Security approver determinators when configuring a stage? What IDs does CUP look at for these two? I only see Security Lead under Approvers.
Thanks!
Grace Rae

Hi Grace,
Forks only work for non-SAP connectors, so you's have to go for a dummy system if you really need fork. Alternatively you can chose an initiator based on roles, which will also allow you to fork the request on the first stage.
The security approver determinator is a group approver which looks for everyone with the UME role "AESecurity" and routes the request to them in parallel.

SRM 7 workflow process deletion

Hello all gurus,
please forgive the question, I'm quite new on the argument; I searched a bit on the SDN but found no pratical solution on the issue... hints, suggestions and ref. to documentation or previous thread are welcome.
We are migrating from SRM 3 to SRM 7; we implement an extended classic scenario, and our documents (contract/po) can trigger specific workflows with different approval steps.
In case of errors execution a workflow process in SRM 3, we used to adopt the following procedure: once the workflow in error has been identified, we delete the workflow process via transaction SWWL. Then we manually adjust the document status situation in table CRM_JEST and we're ready to repeat the process, as when processed again, the document re-triggers the correct workflow. So far, so good.
The same approach seems not to be valid in SRM 7, as we've seen that deleting a wf process in SWWL leads to an odd situation; the interested document does not snap any workflow. It seems that some dirty information doesn't allow the system to recognize the document should be assigned to a new workflow process.
As far as we've seen, there are some DB tables which contain data w.r.t. workflow process: /SAPSRM/D_WF_000 /001 /003 and so on. There tables are not affected by the wf process deletion we perform in SWWL... maybe there's still something we're not taking into account.
Could you please provide us some details or hints to perform the above described procedure? Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Please try this step.
1. Trasaction SWI2_DIAG, Identify the root cause
2. Fix the root cause
3. Restart workflow in SWI2_DIAG

Email Notifications through workflow for all Approved and Rejected Orders

hi,
i have to send Email Notifications through workflow for all Approved and Rejected Orders to the user who have submitted the order for approval.how could it be done.please send ur solutions.
regards
yesukannan

Hi,
An option would be use Oracle Alert. Create an event based alert on the table where you have order approvals or rejections. This alert will be raised after inserting or updating this table. Create an action linked to this alert, and choose message as action type.
This setup can be done under Alert Manager Responsibility.

Can not send mail from PR Workflow to the approver

Dear all,
I have issues about send mail from PR Workflow to the approver.
Now when user create PR and the corresponding user can receive the workflow items in SBWP.
But no email from the user to approver.
If I assign authorization SAP_ALL to the user that create PR. The approver can recieve the workflow item PR in SBWP and email to their mail
Can you tell me about the authorization that can allow the user to send the workflow item PR in SBWP and email to the approver?
Now user can send mail to external and internal mail and I also configured the mail server in SCOT and can successfully send a mail to users in SO01 by manually creating a message.
Now the approver not receive any email but can receive a workflow item in SBWP

Workflow for Document Approval

Hi all,
I'm a newbie to SolMan and is trying to figure out how to implement a workflow for document approval. A similar question has probably been posted in the past, but I can't find a definite solution, only some hints.
Basically, what we're trying to achieve is the following:
When a document is uploaded using SOLAR02, and the creator of the document changes the status to ready for sign-off, we would like to trigger a workflow which will send an email to a couple of persons who are responsible to approve the document. We already implement the digital signature, we just want to add an automatic email notification to be sent to the approvers.
Based on my research, it seems that this is not supported by SolMan and hence we have to do a custom development.
There's an object key called SOLMANDOC and we should raise an event (something like SIGNATURE_PROCESS_START) to send an email notification to the approvers. Can somebody confirm whether my understanding is right ? Does anybody know the name of the BADI that we can modify to achieve our goal ?
FYI, we're using SolMan Rel 7.01 SP 19.
Thanks in advance
Lara

Hi Phil,
I'm facing with problems with creating a simple 2 steps release strategy.
the problem is I cant approve the last step of the release.
This is what I did:
In spro Digital Signature->Signature strategy:
in "Define Authorization groups" I create this entries:
1. EING
2. VERIF
in "Define Individual Signatures" I create this entries:
1. S1   EING
2. S2   VERIF
in "Define Individual Strategies: I create this entries:
SigStrat: ZSIGSTR
Signature Method: R
Display comment: X Required
Display Remark: X
Display document: X
Verification: not checked
in "Assign individual signatures"
CtrIn Indiv.SIG.      AGrpDIG
1          S1               EING
2          S2               VERIF
Display Predecessor for Ctrln is 2 is 1
for "Display release statuses" an entry with one line with the value 1
and in "Display individual signatures there 2 entries 1 and 2.
in spro "Define Document status schemes"
stat scheme "ZSIGSTR"
4 status:
Status                 init status      Sequence    Low     High       lock         Signature schma End status         Cancel status
COPY_EDITING       X                  10           10       20          -
REVIEW                                     20           10        40        X                    ZSIGSTR         RELEASED    DECLINED
RELEASED                                30           10        40        X
DECLINED                                  40           10        20
I created two roles with object c_sign_bpr one with the value "EING"   and the other with the value "VERIF"
I assign this status scheme to a document type in my project.
I tried to release a document the first step was the author of the document move the status to "REVIEW" and I got a window that i need to enter my password and it worked ok.
The problem is in the second step that I need to release the document (now is in a REVIEW status) When I press on the icon in order to release I didn't get the option to release only to cancel there is no "V" option in the small window.
Can you please tell me if I did a correct customization? also can you tell me if my problem is maybe missing authorization? Can you direct me to reading material or to an example?
Best regards
