Selva

Hi Selvaraj,
First and foremost check which user id you have logged in as...now if it is a Regular User( i.e.a non super user) then you simply go in and log in as the super user and there you will find that the system will allow you to check and Uncheck Activate Approval Procedure box.
Approval Procedures work on the principal that they apply ion the lower level users that is the Regular user and when you have logged in as a lower level user the box will always be greyed out. Approval procedures do not work on super users.
Please check this out and revert. Please Reward points if useful.

General Settings..BP Tab Activate approval procedure is greyed out

regards
Manian

Hi,
If the user you use to log into the system is one of the originator in any Approval template, then the tick box will be greyed out.
To edit this tick box, check all approval templates you defined in the system to see if there is any users are not the originator for any templates. Log in as this user then you can active this box.
hope this help,

Outgoing Payment Approval Procedure - Payment Wizard

Hi,
I was having an issue with the SAP Approval Procedures I was hoping I could get answered.
I have created an Approval Procedure for Outgoing Payments in SAP 8.82 to always require approval.
The approval procedure works fine when I create an Outgoing Payment by going to Banking >> Outgoing Payment >> Outgoing Payment.
If I try to create an Outgoing Payment via the Payment Wizard, it does not go through the approval process.
I have made sure that I have enabled the "Activate Approval Procedures in DI" functionality under General Settings. It still does not do the trick.
Can someone please tell if this is an SAP bug or not? If not a bug, any suggestions as to what I might be doing wrong.
Thanks,
Krishnan

Hi Krishnan,
I believe this is by system design or another word a system limitation. The logic here is: if you are able to run the Payment Wizard, you have authorization already.
A work around may be creating a user alert whenever you have the Payment Wizard run.
Thanks,
Gordon

Approval Procedure Not Triggered on Updating Document

Hi,
When Adding a new Sales Order, if the document meets the criteria laid down by an Approval Template, the Approval Process is started.
However, if an old Sales Order is Updated, the Sales Order the Approval Process is ignored.
This is a problem for certain customers who have Approval Procedures which prevent users Adding Sales Orders which would take a Business Partner over the Commitment and/or Credit Limit.
The user can get around the Approval Procedure by adding a Sales Order for a value which keeps the BP under the set limit. If they then Update the Order, they can enter any value.
For example, a user may be prevented from adding an Order totalling £1000.00. If they Add the Order for £0.00 instead, they could later amend the Order to any amount as the Approval Process is not fired !

Could you clarify what you mean by "The credit limit exceeded is in negative numbers"
Negative number: the system message I get when I create a delivery note for a customer, exceeding the credit limit is the following:
Customer has exceeded credit limit - 95.479 EUR
Customer has exceeded commitment limit - 95.479 EUR
Continue (Y/N)
Make sure the Credit Limits are set in the BP Master. --> OK, credit limit is set to 100 EUR, Commitment limit to 100 EUR
Also use Great than in Ratio and try to use a small number like 10 in the value --> I am using 1 EUR
Also, check in System Initialization > General Settings..BP Tab Activate approval procedure is checked. --> it is checked.
Using the range option does not solve the problem, in fact even if I use 'Deviation from Credit Limit does not equal 1 EUR' the approval is not triggered. When I use the same Approval template, but I alter the terms to Total document greater than 1 or Discount% greater than 1 the approval is triggered.

Approval Procedure not triggered when Credit Limit Exceeded

Hi,
I've defined an approval procedure which I would like to launch when a clients Credit Limit has been exceeded. I've checked the required fields on Administration > General Settings > BP tab (credit Limit, Commitment Limit, AR Invoice, Delivery, SO). I've also checked the Activate Approval Procedures on the same tab.
I know the approval procedure has been set up the correct way, since it is launched when I change the Terms to for instance 'Total document'.
There is a system-message when I am creating a Delivery Note for a customer indicating that the credit limit for this customer has been exceeded. But still, the system allows the user to add the document without triggering the approval procedure....
What am I doing wrong?
Btw: The credit limit exceeded is in negative numbers, but I've tried both the condition 'Deviation from Credit Limit greater than 1' and Deviation from Credit Limit Less than 1...

Approval Procedure in service request/Service Order

Hi,
We are implementing approval procedure to set up an approval process in service request & order.
We have made the necessary configurations in IMG->CRM->Transactions->Basic settings->Approval settings.
The web UI component for approal procedure is BT_APPROVAL does not show up in assignment block of SRQM_INCIDENT_H or BT116H_SRVO. Therefore we are note able to view approval procedure in web ui.
Please let us how to activate this component in service order & request in web ui
Regards
Sushant

Hi Vikas/Sushant,
This has been implemented in standard in the component "SRQM_RFC_H". This is the component for Request For Change.
In your case you will have to do the same if you want this approval block for Service Order or Incidents.
It could be executed in 3 major steps:
a) Add BT_APPROVAL as an Usage in these Components through the UI Runtime Repository tool from the component workbench
b) Make this assignment visible by adding it to the Overview page in Runtime Repository and changing the Overview Page Configuration to accommodate this view
c) Make changes to pass the data to BT_APPROVAL. This will require you to enhance the component. the enhance the Component Controller and then change the method WD_USAGE_INITIALIZE in the component controller to bind the BTADMINH of the Service Order component with that of the BT_APPROVAL. Something like below
    when 'CUBTAPPROVAL'.
      iv_usage->bind_context_node( iv_controller_type = cl_bsp_wd_controller=>co_type_component
                                   iv_target_node_name = 'BTADMINH'
                                   iv_node_2_bind      = 'BTADMINH' ).
Please check RFC the component mentioned above for finer details.
Thanks!

Query Based Approval Procedure for Sales order .

Hi
I have created query for SO which results above 5000 d 50,000 .
By using this each query i created two seperate Approval Procedures which So is >5000 d >50000.
If So>5000 Approval Procedure wants to activate same thing for >50,000., Bur approval Procedure is not working wat will be the cause. i have linked this query In Terms as when the following applies.
If SO >5000 approved by user A.
If SO>50,000approved by User A & B.
Regards
Giridharan

Hi Giri
Your query for the first should be as follows:
SELECT DISTINCT TRUE
WHERE $[$29.0.NUMBER] > 5000 AND $[$29.0.NUMBER] < 50000
For the second query:
SELECT DISTINCT TRUE
WHERE $[$29.0.NUMBER] > 50000
The query you were trying to use is looking at the table which will only apply to documents already posted, and as that query is not being filtered specifically it is bringing back all the records and getting confused. You must reference to the runtime value of the document being posted.
Kind regards

I was messing arouond with the general settings and I turned on the voice (under General settings) and when the screen timed out, I can't get it to take my 4 number passcode to get into my ipad. Please help! I'm totally locked out!

I would appreciate any help I can get. I was just messing around with the general setting on the ipad (64GB 3G...1st edition ipad), and did not realize that if I went under the general settings and changed the option to turn "on" the voice over, that it would require a double click on everything automatically. I have my ipad set up to lock after 2 minutes on non-use, and when I tried to sign back in, it said that my 4 digit passcode was incorrect. Then I tried to double click on each number, and that didn't seem to work. The numbers 1-9 seemed to input ok, but a zero seemed to throw it off. I have no idea if it has anything to do with it, but any help on getting back in to my ipad, I would greatly appreciate it, and I will be turning off that stupid voice over off as soon as I can. I was just goofing off, and was not going to let it stay on permenantely, but I tried to go back under the settings immediately, and I couldn't easily find it, but if someone could help on just getting me back in....I would owe you a big favor!
Thanks......freaking out in Mobile, AL!!

Touch or tap the field that you want to use/select and it should get a box around it ; then double-tap that field to activate/type it. Once you've entered your password you can do the same (i.e. touch to select, double-tap to activate) to gradually get into Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver and turn it off.
So to enter your passcode you first need to tap the 'slide to unlock' button to hightlight it (it should get a box around it), then double-tap it to unlock it. Then for your passcode tap the digit that you want and it should get a box around it; then double-tap that digit to type it; and similar for the other three digits in your passcode.
The manual (http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipad) also that you should be able to switch voice-over off by connecting to your computer's iTunes :
Turn VoiceOver on or off in iTunes: Select iPad in the iTunes sidebar. In the Options section of the Summary pane, click Configure Universal Access. Select VoiceOver, then click OK.
So select Configure Universal Access at the bottom of the Summary tab and set Seeing to Neither

SAP Netweaver/General settings/Set Countries/Set Country-Specific Checks

Hi All,
following the customizing navigation:
SAP Netweaver/General settings/Set Countries/Set Country-Specific Checks
By the flag "Other data", I can activate the check of tax numbers.
So, SAP gives me an error message if a tax number filled in master data of customers or vendors is wrong.
I'd like to change the message in warning...
I've tried to do it, but without unsuccessfully.
Could anyone help me?
Thanks

Hello,
This is a cross client activity which is not directly available in the system in OBA5.
The error message that is AR191
You need to go to transaction code OBMSG and enter the message number in application area.
In case if you get a warning message at this time stating that: "Changes to Repository or cross-client Customizing are not permitted". In that case you need to check with your basis administration to allow the cross client settings in SCC4. Until you make necessary changes in SCC4, your OBMSG transaction code is in ONLY DISPLAY mode.
Application Area: AR
Message No.191
Allowed: W
Standard: E
Save your entries.
Now this is available in OBA5 and give the application area AR and enter the message number.
In Online and batch put the message number to W.
Save your entries.
Hope this solve your issue.
Regards,
Ravi
