  • Badi guide for process controlled workflow

    Where can I find the SRM 7.0 BADI guide for process controlled workflow in service marketplace?
    Thanks

    why you need a service marketplace for this??.. We have option in SPRO itself..

  • Complexity of using N-step BADI in SRM 7using Process controlled Workflow.

    Hi,
    Just as a big thought,
    I have a Shopping Cart requirement, Here i am asked to develop a Custom workflow for SRM 7.0.
    And the client is looking for us to use Process Control Workflows i.e(BRF integrated one).
    I need to understand the complexity of using a N-step BADI.
    How would be the complexity level if I use a N step BADI( ie Multiple approval levels on Line Item Based).
    Kindly tell me the complexity of Using it and if any one has come across some requirement like this, then explain me that how did you face the situation.
    Expecting an Earliest Response.
    Thanks,
    Shanky

    Hi,
      Is your project SRM 7.0 implementation project then you have to go for Process Controlled Workflow and if your project is upgrade then you can still go with Application Controlled Workflow but down line this has to switch to Process Controlled Workflow.

  • Process Controlled workflow

    Hello experts,
    We are trying to use process controlled work flow for SC approval. Approval process will be multiple based on the amount of shopping cart. Somebody has already activated BC set for one step approval in the system. If i want to have  my own process schema ( multiple approval ),what i supposed to do? Do i delete the existing schema attached to BUS2121 or create my own schema ?
    How system will determine which schema needs to be picked up after creation of SC?
    Regards,
    Sagar

    Hello Bharat,
    Thanx for reply.
    I have below cases for process controlled workflow.
    1.  No approval
    2. One step approval
    3.Multi level approval.
    All the above scenario will be decided based on the Z field which we have added to SC header. My understanding in this case is to have three process schema for above cases. Name of schema will be decided by Evaluation ID.
    Once the schema is decided then i need to define process level for each process schema.
    Please let me know if i am on the right track??
    Regards,
    Sagar

  • SRM Process Controlled Workflow

    Hi Exports,
    I have created a Process schema for SC object type (BUS2121)..
    Looks like my process levels are trigged before the shopping cart is actually ordered by the user..
    Is this a normal behavior? or I am missing any configuration? or I need to have a additional process level initially to check whether the SC completed?..
    Please advice..
    Thanks in advance

  • SRM 7.0 Process Controlled Workflow-Level Type in Process level config

    Hello Experts,
    In SRM 7.0 for Process controlled workflow,for Level Type in Process Level configuration we have 3 different options
    1) Approval with Completion
    2) Approval
    3) Automatic(System User)
    Can you plz explain what is the difference between these 3 diffrent potion for Level Type in Process Level configuration.
    Your help will be highly appreciated,
    Thanks & Regards,
    RKS

    1. Approval with completion : This allows approvers to make any changes to document while approving. Generally you define this type for buyer in SC approval.
    2. Approval :  above minus change
    3. Automatic (system approval) : If no process level is determined, you need to set up a process level with automatic approval to approve the document by system.

  • Issue in Process Controlled workflow for Shopping cart in Quality system.

    Hello All,
    I ahve configured a Process controlled workflow in SRM 7.0  with custom resolver, and I am facing an issue taht the Workflow works well in Development but in Quality the approvers are dropped after SC is ordered in Quality system.
    The SC Workflow drops the approvers picked up from the Interface  method /SAPSRM/IF_EX_WF_RESP_RESOLVERGET_AREA_TO_ITEM_MAP and IF_EX_WF_RESP_RESOLVERGET_APPROVERS_BY_AREA_GUID of BADI /SAPSRM/BD_WF_RESP_RESOLVER. The approvers can be seen in the shopping cart Approval preview Tab until the SC is ordered.
    I have compared the OSS notes relevant for Workflow, all of them have been transported, Also I compared and checked general Workflow settings, BRF Config and  Process level  settings in Dev and Quality, everything is same.
    Also while debugging; the approvers can be seen in the decision set table in the create_process_forecast method of class /SAPSRM/CL_WF_PROCESS_MANAGER.
    Kindly let me know what else i can check to find the root cause.
    Thank you in advance for help!
    Regards
    Prasuna.

    Hello Vinita;
    Thanks for the input and sorry for the not so "ASAP" reply;
    From what I'm seeing in from your 2 screenshot, i strongly believe that the problem is even before the Z implementation /SAPSRM/IF_EX_WF_RESP_RESOLVER~GET_APPROVERS_BY_AREA_GUID (in which the FM i ZSRM_GET_USER_FROM_PGRP is called. I think the problem could be in the process level determination  ZSRM_WF_BRF_0EXP000_SC_APP100. Let me explain:
    In your  cases where not buyer is determined,  in the approval tab there is not even a process level for buyer approval. If the problem were indeed in the implementation  /SAPSRM/IF_EX_WF_RESP_RESOLVER~GET_APPROVERS_BY_AREA_GUID  then the process level would be there, but the system will display, instead of the name of the buyer(if the buyer determination fails) a red label with the message:  "With the strategy "Buyer determination" an approver could not be determined (or something like that..please check the image at the end of the text)".
    I can propose a way to discard this: Implement the method /SAPSRM/IF_EX_WF_RESP_RESOLVER~GET_FALLBACK_AGENTS of class ZCL_BADI_SC_WC (in case you didn't know, in this method you can specify an "default" approver in case that the determination of approver in GET_APPROVERS_BY_AREA_GUID fails). The idea is to specify an default approval and see how it behaves:
    If the user you indicated in the method GET_FALLBACK_AGENTS appears as approver, then yes, the problem is arises from implementation GET_APPROVERS_BY_AREA_GUID, in which case it could be a data problem (peharps in pposa_bbp?). You could also check in TX SU53 with the users with this problem to see if there's a missing authorization objetc.
    If, in the other hand, the "default" approver is not shown, it means that the process level buyer determination is not even called, so you should check in more detail ZSRM_WF_BRF_0EXP000_SC_APP100 and /SAPSRM/CL_WF_PROCESS_MANAGER > Determine process restart –method ----- (i have never used this method, so i could not tell if  it could be the source of the problem).
    Also, you could implement the method GET_FALLBACK_AGENTS in this way so the default approver would be the WF administrator indicated in the customizing (or you could just append directly any user you want):
    METHOD /SAPSRM/IF_EX_WF_RESP_RESOLVER~GET_FALLBACK_AGENTS.
       DATA: lv_admin_expr TYPE swd_shead-admin_expr,
             lv_admin      TYPE swd_shead-wfi_admin,
             lv_admin_type TYPE sy-input,
             ls_agent      TYPE  /sapsrm/s_wf_approver.
       CALL FUNCTION 'SWD_WF_DEFINITION_ADMIN_GET'
         IMPORTING
           default_admin_expr = lv_admin_expr
           default_admin      = lv_admin
           default_admin_type = lv_admin_type.
       ls_agent-approver_id = lv_admin.
       APPEND ls_agent TO rt_agent.
    ENDMETHOD.
    Error of agent determination:
    Please let me know the result of the test with the implementation of method GET_FALLBACK_AGENT. By doing this we could ensure if really the problem is in method GET_APPROVERS_BY_AREA_GUID or before.  I just made the test in our system and I'm almost sure that you wont get the default approver, but i could be wrong. 
    Any question please let me know.
    Best regards

  • Process Controlled Workflow - 1-step approval for shopping cart approval

    Hi,
    I have configured a one-level approval for SC (Process Controlled Workflow):
    Object Type: BUS2121
    Additional 1 level under schema: 3C_SC_600_000 (the last level is the automatic approval)
    Level Type: Approval with completion
    Eval ID: 0EV_SC_SL1
    RR Name: RR_SPENDING_LIMIT_APPROVER
    RR Param: USTONY.Y (I hardcoded it using my user ID, for the moment)
    Task ID: 40007953 (I have checked, it's generalized as well)
    Decision Type: Item-based decision for entire document
    For PPOMA_BBP:
    Under my org unit (Position):
    Approval Limit: 1000
    Output Limit: 1000
    I didn't do any BADI implementations yet.
    During creation of SC by other user, before "Order" the SC, the approval preview can show correctly that the Processor is as indicated in the config.
    Once the SC is ordered, the whole step is gone and the event linkage becoming delinked (because there is error, and according to the config in SWEQADM).
    However, I cannot find the workitem (no workitem generated) and SLG1 does not give any clue whatsoever.
    I tried debugging method APPROVAL_LIMIT, and it seems fine as well.
    Please help, what did I do wrong here?
    Thanks,
    Tony Y

    Hi Sahil,
    I even changed to first process level to:
    Level Type: Approval
    Eval ID: 0EV000
    RR Name: RR_MANAGER
    RR Param: (Blank)
    Task ID: 40007953 (I have checked, it's generalized as well)
    Decision Type: Decision for entire document
    Under PPOMA_BBP:
    I made myself as a head of the org unit with the role manager.
    The requester is "Exclude" the role manager.
    The agent can be determined now.
    But the workitem ID is still cannot be generated. It's always no workitem generated.
    Please everyone, any help?
    Thanks in advance,

  • Can the USB NI DAQs be used for process control,eg.closed loop? or is too fast

    can the USB NI DAQs be used for process control,eg.closed loop? or is too fast.

    Hi mho,
                 1.usb is very high speed that is correct.Better you can choose PCI DAQ.But thats upto you.
                 2. see this:-
                 http://sine.ni.com/nips/cds/view/p/lang/en/nid/14136
                3.If Matlab support TCP/IP, that could be an option.
                   see Another idea: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/244A37667BD7CBCE86257520007F937B
                   Another simplest way to do it (assuming you running Windows) is to use a Matlab script.
                  If both programs running on different systems:-
    Most simple and slow - Create two  VI's  with shared variable on both machines, and use a matlab script to
    share data. (this makes matlab some kind of "slave").
    More advanced but still  relatively slow (Create two  VI's  with shared variable, on the Matlab machine build the .NET
    dll, and it can be used on Matlab too ( at least at 2010b version, earlier version support only COM).
    Create TCP/IP connection between two comps.
    There is "out of the box" NI products, that communicate with Simulink models.You please do a simple search on that...OK
    I think this link is also helpful for you:-

  • SRM Process Controlled Workflow - Re-start using FM BBP_PD_SC_UPDATE

    Hi All,
    We are upgrading from SRM4.0 to SRM7.0 SP07 in classic scenario. We switched to Process Controlled Workflow.
    We have a CUSTOM application where the requisition items are entered and a Shopping Cart is created in SRM through Function Module BBP_PD_SC_CREATE. When the Shopping Cart is created in SRM , the Process Controlled Worflow is triggered successfully.
    In the custom application , we allow users to do changes to the requisition that are awaiting approval.The changes are updated in SRM Shopping Cart through function module BBP_PD_SC_UPDATE. It is noticed that the workflow process levels are not re-started after the shopping cart is updated through FM BBP_PD_SC_UPDATE.
    However , the process levels are re-started when the change is directly done to the Shopping Cart in SRM POWL. We want the process levels to be re-started even when the changes are done through BBP_PD_SC_UPDATE. The users are used do changes to the requisition through the custom application. We also noticed that system does not go through BAdI /SAPSRM/BD_WF_PROCESS_RESTART when changes are done to the SC through BBP_PD_SC_UPDATE.
    Is there any way that we can trigger process level re-start when SC is changed through FM BBP_PD_SC_UPDATE
    Thanks
    Sukumar

    HI ,
           This is not the correct way of updating the SC. please check the below process...
           first you try to get the SC document in Edit mode and this can be done only SY-UNAME should requester of the SC or( user who are changing the SC should be in the Org structure ).  ( This point why i mentioned is you mentioned that your editing through custom application ). 
      note : use try and endtry and catch the exception when u get the SC document in Edit mode.
      DATA: lo_pdo_sc             TYPE REF TO /sapsrm/cl_pdo_bo_sc_adv.
          "Instance SC PDO Layer
          lo_pdo_sc ?= /sapsrm/cl_pdo_factory_sc_adv=>get_instance( iv_header_guid   = p_guid "ps_shopping_cart-guid
                                                                    iv_mode          = /sapsrm/if_pdo_constants_gen_c=>gc_mode_edit ).
       now you do what ever changes to the document. I mentioned points below.
            "Get Item Details
          lo_pdo_sc->/sapsrm/if_pdo_bo_sc~get_item_detail
    do changes to the items of the SC.
           "Update SC Items
          lo_pdo_sc->/sapsrm/if_pdo_bo_sc~update_items
           "Submit Update
          lo_pdo_sc->/sapsrm/if_pdo_base~submit_update
           "Save SC
          lo_pdo_sc->/sapsrm/if_pdo_base~save    
          or  order  the SC again.
          COMMIT WORK AND WAIT.

  • Process Controlled Workflow - Process Schemas

    Hi
    I am configuring Process Controlled Workflow in SRM 7.0 for shopping carts. As per one of the guidance documents, I activated the BC Sets for the shopping cart in order to pull in all the component parts. As none of the three standard Process Schemas created meet my requirements I am going to create my own Schema. Please could someone explain to me how I can ensure my schema will get activated, and not say  -  /SAPSRM/C_SC_600_001_SP04?
    Many Thanks
    Claire

    Hi,
    You can create custom schema definition. If you need only 1 schema, you can use constant type BRF expression.
    1. Create BRF event and Expression in transaction BRF
        BRF Event (ZEVALUATION1)
        BRF Expression (ZEXP1)  = Constant Schema name (ZSCHEMA1)
    2. Link the event and expression
    3. Customize Define Process Level
        Process Schema Evaluation = BRF Event (ZEVALUATION1)
                                                     - linked to BRF Expression (ZEXP1)  = Constant Schema name (ZSCHEMA1)
        Process Schema Definition (ZSCHEMA1)
          - based on your requirements

  • Process controlled workflow - Reject SC approval

    Experts,
    I configured process controlled workflow in SRM 7. My approval process is working fine but i need to send a notification e-mail when the approver rejects the SC approval. The requisitioner will receive this email saying that the SC was rejected.
    Is there any chance to do this with configuration? Do you have to use a new expression linked to an event to perform this ?
    Thanks for your help,
    Best regards,
    Mário

    Hello Mario,
    See IMG path below:
    SAP Implementation Guide -> SAP Supplier Relationship Management -> SRM Server -> Cross-Application Basic Settings -> Business Workflow -> Process-Controlled Workflow -> Business Process Configuration -> Define Recipient of Notifications
    For scenario "Approve Shopping Cart", you can define user role which will receive notification in the event of "Rejection".

  • Approver not determined process controlled workflow in SAP SRM 7.0

    Hello all,
    I have setup process controlled workflow in SAP SRM 7.0 EHP3 for shopping cart approval.
    I have 4 approval levels.
    I have used item-based Decision for entire document because for some items i want system approval.
    In implementation of BADI /SAPSRM/BD_WF_RESP_RESOLVER, in the method /SAPSRM/IF_EX_WF_RESP_RESOLVER~GET_AREA_TO_ITEM_MAP, i am skipping the items for which i want system approval.
    Also in method /SAPSRM/IF_EX_WF_RESP_RESOLVER~GET_APPROVERS_BY_AREA_GUID of BADI implementation class, i am keeping the approver table empty for the step which i want system approval.
    For example i have 1 item in shopping cart and for 1st step, based on some accouting criteria, i want system approval for 1st level and the workitem should go directly to 2 approval step when shopping cart is ordered. This is not happening.
    But if i have multiple items, and one item should have system approval based on some criteria and the 1st approval level should be system approval and other item should go to the 1st approver. This is happening and showing 'system' approver for item1 and 'appr_xyz' for item 2.
    For shopping cart having only 1 item, If i approve the shopping cart in this state only, it doesn't go to any approver and is not usable.
    am i missing anything in BADI /SAPSRM/BD_WF_RESP_RESOLVER??
    Please let me know.
    Regards,
    Yayati Ekbote

    Hi Adrian,
    Yes it is possible to display custom workflows in the Universal Worklist,  However, I am not sure what you are trying to do with a routing table.  If the workitems are of type decision, you can use UserDecisionHandler (action handler) configured in the XML file to use the Approve/Reject functionality - we are talking about webflow connector here correct?  R/3 connector?

  • Process-controlled workflow hang due to dump

    Hi all,
    due to a temporary dump in an SRM 7 system, some document-related workflows are stucked... in other terms, these workflow processes have been started, the the dump occoured and by now, they seems to be stucked in "in process" state.
    Tecnically, these are not workflow in error, so SWI2_DIAG is not helpful.
    We'd like to unlock this situation and -eventually- restart the workflow process. How can we do it?
    Thanks in advance for your help and support.
    edit: system dump is now solved, which means, triggering the same workflow process will result in a success.
    Edited by: Matteo Montalto on Jun 30, 2011 4:34 PM

    Ok. There used to be OSS Note 1458380 - Process Controlled Workflow Restart Program, if the document is in "Awaiting Approval" Status.
    Or do the manual restart by using tcode SWUE (Event trigger)
    Object Category - ABAP Class
    Object Type - /SAPSRM/CL_WF_PDO_SC
    Event - READY_FOR_WORKFLOW
    Object Key - <DOCUMENT_GUID>
    Event Parameter - <SC Creator User ID>
    and Click "Create Event" button
    Use SWI1 to check whether the event is created and see whether the document is submitted for workflow triggering or use SWI6 to check for that SC document

  • Process controlled workflow - SC process schema evaluation

    Hi experts,
    at the moment I'm using the n-step item level approval in SRM 5.0.
    We are implementing SRM 7.0. With the new process controlled workflow I'm not sure how to
    implement the logic of our "old" system.
    Depending on category and item value the SC item has to be approved by 0 - 7 users.
    I've created an event which finds a Z-process schema via FM.
    In the FM I've tried to change the process schema (debugger) for one SC item.
    But the schema has been changed for all items.
    Is it possible to use different process schemas for items?
    When yes how can I set the schema e.g.
    item 10 schema1
    item 20 schema1
    item 30 schema2
    item 40 schema1
    Thanks in advance for your inputs!
    Regards
    Stefan

    Hi,
    Schema Evaluation is document header level.
    There are 2 ways for implementation.
    1. Schema Evaluation returns Schema name. For example, 1 step approval, ... 7 step approval
    2. 1 Fixed Schema and 7 level evaluations. 1 Schema has 7 approval steps and each evaluation returns true or false.
    You have to implement GET_AREA_TO_ITEM_MAP method of Agent BADI to exclude/include items.
    BTW. If you set workflow framework as Application-Controlled Workflow, your old workflow logic works without any change.

    Masa
