SRM5 Help on Inbox (Approval)

Hi
Approval Inbox both new and old style.
Approver cannot change shopping carts, role has W/F security set to not defined.
Approver can add approvers or reviewers.
Approver adds a reviewer, saves.
Screen shows various data columns, but the entries to the columns has moved along one. eg Status. The entry of approved, shows in the next column along.
can anyone advise on how to fix ?
Thanks

HELP! Inbox Keeps Refreshing!

I have my Mac Mail tuned to my University of Connecticut account. Every time I open the app, I have loads of new emails, because every time the app opens, every bit of mail, even the ones I open before, somehow refresh and become marked as UNREAD. I don't have this issue with any other of my 3 accounts with Mac Mail. Just this one.
Anyone know any settings I can try so that mail I read STAYS that way?
Example: I had 10 emails in my inbox. I read all of them. I close the app. When I restart the app, I have the same 10 emails again, marked as unread.
This becomes especially annoying seeing you have 750 unread emails on the little red dot on the app when it is open.
Any help is much obliged. Thanks!

Happens all the time when I have 2 OS X machines and my iphone all connecting to the same imap box; this generates a lock on the inbox which makes it impossible to delete or mark mails as read. They will appear to be deleted or read but then refresh as unread. Only solution is to identify the process id of the mail lock associated with your account (on the imap server) and kill the process. Seems to be a shortcoming in OS X mail client implementation.

Urgent help on SC approval BADI BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI

Hello SRM Gurus,
   I am working on the BADI BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI for SC Approval.I need some clarifications on the foll points before I can proceed with the development...
My requirement is
1>The no of levels of Approval depends on the total Value fo SC and the Product Category of the Items(i.e. the Whole shopping cart since all the Items will be of the same Product category as well as same cost centre).
   Based on the combination of these 2 values,I will have to set the approval_index field.
2>Also after this,based on the combination of the value for the fields Product Category + Cost centre,the approvers have to be determined.
Now for the deteremination of Approvers,either a custom table can be   maintained or they ca be retrieved form teh Org structure itself.
But now here,for getting the Approvers,if I have to get the apporvers from the Table(database table bbpt_wfl_lia_def),I can only maintain the combination of values for the fields Cost center and Prod category and the corresponding agent and not the approval level.How do I link the approval index and the approvers???
Also, if i ma getting the approvers form the Org structure how is the link between Cost centre+Prod cat and Corresponding approver maintained????Or in case of getting the approvers for the Org structure,I just need to get the Chief/manager of the Person who is creating the Shopping cart(Since cost centre will be maintained at the User level)???
3>Also since my approval is purely at the Header level,whcih of the example implementations given with the std BADI will be usitable for my reqt(particularly for the APprovers part)????
Also since mine is Header level approval(since cost center+Prod cat will necessarily be same the whole of the SC,do I need to activate only the workflow 14000133(and no other wfs i.e.WS14500015,WS10000031,WS10000060,WS10000129 )?
Also,Please correct me if i have gone wrong in any of my understanding.Any help on this is highly appreciated.
Regards,
Disha.

Though i think this was posted long back, but still:
You need to do a BRF configration which will take care of ur approval levels and the corresponding approvers.
You need to define the schemas there.

Req for help regarding Invoice approval workflow from SUS to EBP

Hi Gurus good morning!
We are facing the following problem in invoice approval when the employees approving the work items. If the employee approves his/her invoice directly from his/her inbox <b> i.e without going to the details button</b>, then the invoice is getting approved. <b>If the employee looks into the details by clicking on details button and then from the detailed view if he/she approves,</b> then the workflow is getting into error status and the document is not getting updated correctly even he selects "approved" radio button.
If any body knows SAP notes or soultion for this problem, please share with me.
Cheers
Raveendra

Hi,
further to my previous reply , i am sure that the document is being changed during approval.
please check. wether change is allowed for the user., wether he is authorized to change
please also refer
changed (approval status = 3)
deleted (apporval status = 2)
rejected (approval status =1)
approved (approval status =0)

BWSP Inbox Approval requires additional sign-on

Hello,
We are currently on EP 6.0 with WebAS 6.20 and seperate ITS instance.
We are implementing leave requests using WS04200009 and the approvals will be done through the ESS inbox, BWSP. We currently use SSO, so no logon is required by the user to access the inbox ( BWSP ); however, when the user clicks on the EXECUTE button to approve or reject a leave request, the portal and ITS requires the user to sign-on to the system.
We are stuck. I believe it to be a cookie issue from ITS that overwrites the portals SSO cookie, but can not prove it or find the settings within ITS to check the theory.
Has anyone else run into this issue and come up with a solution? If you have, then you will be a hero.
Thank you.
Nick

Hi,
ITS SSO cookie is depends on domain (FQDN), so please check the ITS properties of system if it has defined with FQDN. also you've to access portal with the same FQDN.
portal url: http://<portalhostname>.<domain>:<port>/...
its url: http://<itshostname>.<domain>:<port>/...

Need help setting up approval workflow step for PO and Shopping Cart

Hello,
We are on SRM 7.0 and setup BRF and process level config for automatic approvals of SCs and POs using task 40007988. We would now like to test approval based workflow (create work item to route to approver) using a process level step.
1) Is there a standard task that can be used to enter in the process level step? Or should we create a new standard task? If a new task is required, what import/export parameters should be defined?
2) How do we setup agent for this step? Are the entries u201CResp Resolveru201D and u201CResp Resolver Parameteru201D in process level config required? The BADI BD_WF_RESP_RESOLVER already has some SAP delivered implementations? Should I create a new implementation here?
Thanks,
Zack

Hi,
Welcome to new Process-Controlled Workflow implementation in SRM 70.
You can find the task list in the transaction PFTC. Task Group 40000003.
Please activate the BC Sets in transaction SCPR20. Find the BC Sets /sapsrm/*.

Help in GP approval step

i was trying a simple Guided procedure worklow.
The user initiates the process, approver approves.
Now based on approve/reject I need to either terminate process or return to initiator for resubmission.
How do I do that?
Another thing is that I created a WD iview for this by giving the process id and autostart=t.
Still I get the Edit Roles option for the initiator.

Hi,
To answer your first question the initial configuration screen comes when the first action of the process has some parameters with "exposed out" checkbox checked in the parameters tab. So you can group the parameters with the output of the second action so that when rejected the data entered in the first action will re-appear when the same form is displayed after rejection.
For the second issue - you have 2 actions in your process. Add two sequential blocks in the process as well and add those actions under those two blocks separately. So that your process will look like this at design time:
Process
--Block (EnterData)
Action (EnterData)
--Block (Approval)
Action (Approval)
In this scenario the user won't see all the process steps at the left panel, instead the blocks will be displayed as a road-map at the top panel. In the left panel only the current action will be displayed.
Thanks,

Help Needed - Report Approval Process in OBIEE

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement as below
1) I will pull the data from the database and generate a report
2) Then user 1 logs in and has to approve the report
3) Then user 2 logas in and has to approve the report
Once user1 and user 2 approves then only I should make make it avalable to the remaining users...
Is it possible in OBIEE
Thanks
venkat

"You can achieve this by implementing the right security. Before approval, once the report is designed, give access to this report only to user1 and user2. When user1 logs in, he checks the report, approves it and notifies user2, then user2 logs in and approves the report and notifies you. Once report is approved by both, you can change the security permissions to make it available to all the users that needs to access it "
Hi Amit,
Thanks for quick reply
How can "User 1 checks the report, approves it and notifies user2 "
can you be more precise on it....
My requirements in more precise is
1) when user 1 logs and approves it, user 2 should see that it has been approved by user 1
2) When user 2 logs in and approves , user 1 should see it..
I want to automate the whole process .. insted of me going and chaning the security perimission .. once i it is approved by user 1 and user 2.
is it possible.....
Thansk in Advance

Hiding com.sap.pct.srm.core.action.oldwfl.approve button in UWL InBoX

Hi,
Currently I am working on SRM upgrade project . How to remove/hide approve button in UWL inbox.
Below xml code, using in UWL configuration file in portal:
<ItemType name="uwl.task.webflow.srm.TS90000005.SAP_SRM" connector="WebFlowConnector" defaultView="com.sap.pct.srm.core.view.tasks" defaultAction="com.sap.pct.srm.core.action.launchWD.oldwfl.cont.approve" executionMode="default">
<ItemTypeCriteria systemId="SAP_SRM" externalType="TS90000005" connector="WebFlowConnector"/>
<Actions>
<Action reference="com.sap.pct.srm.core.action.launchWD.oldwfl.cont.approve" />
<!<Properties><Property name="display_order_priority" value="uwlExcludeFromPreviewDetail"/></Properties></Action>>
</Actions>
</ItemType>
Implemented " uwlExcludeFromPreviewDetail" code in xml, but it is not working. Pls guide, how to tweak the properties definition a little bit to get it to work.
By removing approval reference in xml code, approre button and inbox hyperlink both functionality disappear. As per my requirement, Inbox approve data should have hyperlink as it is and approve button should be disappear/remove/hide.
Otherwise without hyperlink, user has to select any workflow item and click "Details" button. For this need xml code for enabling Details button
Anybody light on this

Hi,
Remove the Approval action from the XML by deleting <Action reference="com.sap.pct.srm.core.action.launchWD.oldwfl.cont.approve" />
Also on this, <ItemType name="uwl.task.webflow.srm.TS90000005.SAP_SRM" connector="WebFlowConnector" defaultView="com.sap.pct.srm.core.view.tasks" defaultAction="com.sap.pct.srm.core.action.launchWD.oldwfl.cont.approve" executionMode="default">
change the defaultAction="viewDetail" to enable the hyperlink which will open up the detail if click on hyperlink. If you need to open up the details in SAP GUI (ITS), change the defaultAction="launchSAPAction"
Hope this helps.

Difference between Due Date for All Tasks and Duration per task in an approval workflow

Hello,
I'm starting to read up and learn about approval workflows in Designer 2010. I am confused by the fields "Due Date for all Tasks" and the "Duration per task". I understand that the Due date for all Tasks is the date that all
of the tasks in the workflow must be completed by. And I understand that the duration means each task has x number of days to complete.
But I dont know whey we need them both. If I have the task duration set to two days and there are 3 tasks involved, then wouldn't the due date be 6 days from the start? Why would I have a due date for all tasks that is completely different than
the sum of the duration of days for each task?
Please help shed some light!

Hi Michelle,
Due date for all tasks, this setting specifies the date by which all tasks are due. It’s used for serial and parallel
task.
Duration per tasks, this setting specifies the date by which an individual
task is due, it’s used for serial workflow participants.
Note, when you create an approval workflow, select task process participants(approvers oob approval workflow), we can also
select once at a time(serial) or all at once(parallel).
For more information, see
