Substition - n-Level Output Limit Approval Process

Hi,
we are using a process-controlled workflow in SRM 7.0; n-Level Output Limit Approval Process; see BC-Sample process scheme 9C_BUS2121_EX03.
Situation 1: a manager (approval limit 3.000) sets an user (without approval limit entry in the OrgMgmt) as substitute. The substitute succeeds in approving a purchase order.
The purchase order is approved despite the missing approval limit of the substitute. Even exception entry "Calling class /SAPSRM/CL_WF_RULE_CONTXT_SC method PREV_APPROVAL_LIMIT
raises error exception
Message no. /SAPSRM/BRF086"
in SLG1 does not disturb the approval. The exception-entry itself is fine; however the approval is not supposed to succeed if such an exception happens.
Situation 2: a manager (approval limit 3.000) sets an user (approval limit 1.000) as substitute. The substitute can now approve up to 3.000 without additional approver. This is not the expected result.
Do you know any solutions for these problems?
Best regards,
Frank

Hi,
What is your business requirement? if you want to stop not ordering the SC if the substitute approval limit is less than the system determine approver approval limit.. try to implement the logic in BBP_DOC_CHECK_BADI.. where you have to build the same logic to find the substitute approval limit.. if the approval limit is less , then error out..

Limiting workflow approval process

Hello,
There's a workflow process for the talent management module HR_APPRAISAL_DETAILS_JSP_PRC. The approval process is going up many levels to the top person in the organization (using the supervisor hierarchy), but I want to limit this to only one step above the appraisees supervisor.
Say I am being appraised, my supervisor will do the appraiser and his own supervisor will approve.
Is there anyway to limit approval levels. I've looked at Approvals Management but not really sure what to make of it to be honest.
Thanks a lot.

I've done a few things just to update.
I create a new condition, the condition type is "Ordinary", the item class is "Header" and the condition is WORKFLOW_PROCESS_NAME in (HR_APPRAISAL_DETAILS_JSP_PRC)
Also, created a new rule:
The rule type is list creation, the item class is Header and the category is Approver.
This rule includes the condition I created above.
Also, the action I have defined for this rule is:
Require approvals up to the first superior, at most.
Should this solve my problem?
Also of note is that the workflow process for HR_APPRAISAL_DETAILS_JSP_PRC contains sub processes, does that fact have any effect?
Thanks again.

Approval Process for JV

Dear,
I want to know regarding jv approval process, if we talk about po,we define Po Limit on person to person,and then go to approval as mentioned level,but in JV, does sytem follow the same procedure or some thing else.
--thanks

Hi
I'm assuming by JV you mean Journal Voucher? In which case, no - it works differently the the PO Approval. Full details are in the GL User Guide but basically it only uses the employee-supervisor heirarchy (it doesn't use positions and it doesn't use AME), and the only limit is a dollar value limit (i.e. total dr / total cr) - there is no restriction based on cost centre / account / etc.
Hope that helps

We need to setup a 2 level approval process for test case documents in SAP Solution Manager.
e.g. If test case document is uploaded for transaction "MM01" then first it will go to Reviewer1. Once Reviewer1 approves it , should go to Reviewer2.
Adn finally once reviewer2 approves it , it will be complete.
What are the required configurations and steps for approval process setup? It will be helpful if screenshots and detailed steps are provided.
Thanks.

Approval process (Release strategy of scheduling agreement)

Hi,
Recently we are trying to implement the approval process of scheduling agreements.
Client requirement is when ever there is a change in price irrespective of the following
1. Retrospective price change in any line item
2. Current price change in any line item
3. Future price updation in SA in any line item
4. New addition of line item
the system should trigger the release process (i.e. Approval process).
Our idea is to design the approval process based on document type and net value of SA. Based on which trigger should happened. But when we test it we find the following issues.
1. Trigger is not happening for future date price change or price for new period as the net value of SA is based on validity time.
Becuase the net value change will happen only on that onwards..
Also we are not using any cumulative pallned values in agreements.
Any can suggest the best solution to over come this..or Any user exit is avaliable to handle this issue.
regards,
K.Sundaresan.

Below are the (changed) item fields :
Purchasing Document Item Change Date AEDAT
Item Delivery Date EINDT
Schedule Line is "Fixed "FIXKZ
Below are the (changed) header fields :
Release Indicator: Purchasing Document FRGKE
Release status FRGZU
Purchasing document processing state PROCSTAT
Item and header changes have same "Change document number " and transaction code "ME38" , this happened only in some cases,Rel Strategy is on document type level ,I am also confused on this .
Please assist on this

Error during approval Process flow in Process controlled workflow

Hello Experts,
We are in SRM 7.0 classic scenario using Process controlled workflow.WE recently connected a new backend R/3 system to our SRM system i.e we now have 2 R/3 backend system connected to SRM system
It is regarding the two new additional account assignment categories that came into picture when we connected the new R/3 backend system to our SRM system, i.e. Asset and Network.
There seems to be some problem with the approval workflow for those SHC, that have such Acc *** Cats.
Please find below my obeservations:
- if you have just one line item in the SHC, and this item is either booked on Asset or on Network, than everything goes fine. After the Acc *** approval, the PR is created in R/3
- if you have SC with a mix between an "old" Acc *** Cat (Cost Centre, WBS and Order) and one of the "new" Acc *** Cats, than the workflow is not working as required --- the manager, that is responsible for the accounting approval of the two positions (e.g Cost Centre and Asset) gets only one work item in his approval overview --- in that work item, the two positions are there, but the Asset one is grayed out --- so, the Manager approves only the Cost Centre positions and than the SC is no longer with the approver --- if you observe the SC now from the requisitioner point of view, the status of the line items in the approval process overview of both(!) lines is "approved", but the overall status of the SC is still "in approval"
Can you all experts plz let us know why this is happening and how this can be resolved?
Any pointers will be highly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,

PO approval process in ECC for extended classic scenario

Hi All,
At this moment we are using SAP ECC for procure to pay process. In the existing system set up, our ECC purchase order goes for approval via SAP enterprise portal(EP). We are planing to implement SRM 7.0 Extended classic scenario, so that user can take the advantage of creating PO in their web portal. We don't want to disturb our existing ECC PO approval process at this point of time.
So our requirement is :
User will create PO in SRM. Same PO will replicated in ECC and the PO will goes for approval in in ECC and the PO output will generate in ECC. Can it me possible in extended classic scenario ?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Jennifer
Edited by: Jennifer Batty on Aug 8, 2011 5:08 PM

Hi Jennifer,
Since SRM PO will be leading PO in extended classic scenario, why donot you design the process controlled workflow in line with the existing release strategy that you are using for ECC PO?
Thanks and regards,

XML document must have a top level element. Error processing resource

Hi,
I am trying to send a XML file to a web browser from a servlet. I read the contents of the XML file into a string and I am sending it to the brower. Before I do this I set the 'Content-type' header of the httpResponse to "application/xml" . Embedded in the XML file is an xml-stylesheet elemetn indicating which *.xsl stylesheet to use to parse the XML content.
I get the following error:
The XML page cannot be displayed
Cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.
XML document must have a top level element. Error processing resource 'http://127.0.0.1:8080/testReplyingXML/xml-to-html.xs...
Now, if I take the stylesheet element out of the XML string I sent, then the browser stores the content into and *.xml file. I manually run the "xml-to-xsl " stylesheet mentioned in the error output above, and there is no problem, the xml content gets successfully transformed in a viewable HTML .
It is only when I embed the "stylesheet" element into the XML content that I get this error.
So the browser is receiveing valid XML.
I am not sure if the above error is complaining about the XML content I send or the stylesshet .
Does anyone have an idea of what am I doing wrong?
For your information here are my servlet code and the XML file:

Error processing resource http://127.0.0.1:8080/testReplyingXML/xml-to-html.xs...
Well, if one more character had been deleted from that message then you would have a problem. But as it is, the error message says there's an error processing a resouce whose name ends with "xml-to-html.xs" followed by something. That would be the stylesheet if I'm not mistaken. Most likely the browser can't find it at the URL mentioned in the error message.

Approval process in OIM 11g

Hi All,
I am newbie to OIM. I have a requirement with 2 levels of approvals in OIM 11g.
*1st level:* In the first level the Approver will be selected by the user(self service) from the drop down present in the custom UI.
*2nd level:* For the 2nd level Approval the 1st level appover should have the ability to select the next approver from a drop down list. The 2nd level approvers belong to a particular group.
All the approvers should be stored in a lookup table in OIM. When a user raises a request the custom application should get the values from the lookup table and populate the drop down for 1st level approvers. 2nd level approvers sholud be populated in the drop down during the 1st level approval process.
can any one suggest me the steps to achieve this.
Thanks

Task assignment in SOA are done via human task assignment i.e. the .task component in BPEL. Now this task assignment can use various features to compute whom to assign the task to.
1. Static: This is when you specify the group name or the user name directly into the task.
2. Dynamic : This is when you assign the approver to be a variable and in your SOA workflow before task assignment you assign value to this variable.
3. External Routing: This is when you assign a java code inside the .task to do all the assignment and escalations. When using this you can have complex implementations done.
What I meant by looping is that you will need to call this .task two times, first time of the first approver and second time (if the first approves it) for the second approver. Thus when you are inside the loop you need to get the appropriate value from the payload (payload is sent from OIM to SOA when you submit/approve the request) and set it into the appropriate variable so that .task reads that variable and assigns the task to that person.
I would recommend going through the BPEL developers guide for better understanding. Start with a simple process and see how it behaves when it runs and then pile on top of it.

Configure approval process in Appraisals - Performance Management

Hi Guys
I am trying to configure the approval process. After the final appraisal by the manager, the appraisal forms hould go to the manager of the manager (next level manager) for approval.
My queries:
1. Is the next level manager defined as further participant or part appraiser?
2. Where do we assign the next level manager? In PHAP_PREPARE? I don't see anyplace where I can do that.
I have done the following configuration:
1. At category level, selected Role 'Higher Manager'
2. At category level, in Status flow--> Person Authorized, selected Higher-Level Manager.
3. In the template, selected Higher Manager in Roles.
What am I missing here?
Regards
FS

Please Provide technical details about the BADI and configuration about the status flow also.
Thanks in Advance.

Error in Approval process

Hi All,
I am a new bie to OIM 11g. I have developed a custom (single level parallel) approval composite and it is working fine.
According to my new requirement I need to add two serial approval blocks before the parallel approval block. On the whole the approval process contains 3 levels of approvals with the third level as a parallel approval block.
The 1st level approval will be a default approval and by default all the requests should be routed to this level.
Based on a condition(Create/update/delete user) the request should be routed to 2nd and 3rd level approval.
In one of the scenario(condition) the requests are routed to 1st, 2nd,3rd level. In an other scenario the requests are routed to 1st and 3rd level approval. In both the above mentioned scenarios the request is successfully completed.
In the last scenario(where condition for 2nd and 3rd level fail) the request will be routed only to the 1st level approval and not to the other two levels. In this scenario I am getting the following error and the request is failing.
WLSPropertyUtils:getOperationName(),operation name is null
Invalid outcome COMPLETED received from SOA for the request id 3058.
[CALLBACKMSG] Inside Status Change plugin for request 3058 and the status is : Request Failed.
[CALLBACKMSG] Inside Status Change plugin for request 3058, target tye is Resource and operation is MODIFYRESOURCE.
[CALLBACKMSG] Inside Status Change plugin for request 3058, target tye is Resource and operation is MODIFYRESOURCE.
An attempt was made to look up non-versioned
global resource "queue" from an application version "oim [Version=11.1.1.3.0]". This can potentially cause conflict of the global resource usages among multiple application versions.
WLSPropertyUtils:getOperationName(),operation name is null
Please let me know if I am going wrong any where or Please suggest what needs to done to resolve this issue.
Thanks in advance for the help.
Thanks,
PT

Hi All,
Thanks a lot for your help.
All the above mentioned mappings are proper.
When I remove a parallel approval block present in the last level and place a single serial approval block(instead of parallel approval) , I am not getting an exception and the request is completed. But according to my requirement I sholud have a parallel block in the last approval level.
Can some body please help me in resolving this issue.
Thanks,
