UWL - how to approve purchase requisitions

Hi experts,
Can anyone tell me whats wrong with the xml code section below ?
It is supposed to approve a purchase requisition by triggering an event called RELEASED,
which is defined as a triggering event of TS90100067
it seems object key is not delivered to R3, this is the message from tracing with SWEL
Event Instance ID    14252057
Object Type          BUS2009
Object Key           null
Event                RELEASED

Hi,
Here's what I did to add a custom task (SC approval) to my UWL :
1. download standard UWL configuration file for SRM (com.sap.pct.srm.core.xml) and copy the file (com.sap.pct.srm.core.<CUSTOMER>.xml)
2. find a standard task that looks like my custom task
3. copy the ItemType block corresponding to the standard task and change the ItemType name
4. upload the new configuration file : create a new configuration (com.sap.pct.srm.core.<CUSTOMER>) and make sure high priority is set
For example, here's what I've added to my configuration file in order to handle a custom task (TS91000001) :
<ItemType name="uwl.task.webflow.srm.TS91000001" connector="WebFlowConnector" defaultView="com.sap.pct.srm.core.view.tasks" defaultAction="com.sap.pct.srm.core.action.launchWD.WDCLFPOIF" executionMode="default">
      <ItemTypeCriteria externalType="TS91000001" connector="WebFlowConnector"/>
      <CustomAttributes>
        <CustomAttributeSource id="WEBFLOW_CONTAINER" objectIdHolder="externalId" objectType="WebflowContainer" cacheValidity="final">
          <Attribute name="WD_CONFIGID" type="string" displayName="Web Dynpro Application Configuration"/>
          <Attribute name="BOTYPE" type="string" displayName="Type of Business Object"/>
          <Attribute name="BOID" type="string" displayName="Business Object ID"/>
          <Attribute name="BOMODE" type="string" displayName="Business Object Mode"/>
        </CustomAttributeSource>
      </CustomAttributes>
      <Actions>
        <Action reference="com.sap.pct.srm.core.action.approve"/>
        <Action reference="com.sap.pct.srm.core.action.reject"/>
        <Action reference="com.sap.pct.srm.core.action.launchWD.WDCLFPOIF"/>
        <Action reference="com.sap.pct.srm.core.action.launchWD.print"/>
      </Actions>
    </ItemType>
Hope it helps.

Problems to approve Purchase Requisition

Hello guys! How are you?
Here in the company we have the following issue:
- One specific user couldn't approve purchase requisition, so, the MM Consultant asked to BASIS Team to remove the WLC Parameter from this user, after this, he mays approve again.
My doubt is, It can interfere in this? I don't found any evidence about this parameter that can explain this issue.
Another doubt, What's mean the positions 1 and 5 of this parameter?
Thanks in advance guys,
Regards.
Danilo Cardoso

Hi Danilo,
Parameters are to fill field values automatically from memory. Most of the time, cleaing this parameters will solve problems like not able to display attachments, etc. In your case, if you would like to have technical understanding, you need to perform debugging to find out what specific field/fields were effected during approval process. The value in each position means as following:
Position 1:seems to always be set - but may be changed somewhere else
Position 2:Double-clicking on an object.Most of the time becasue this thing is not set the attachment does not open.By setting it equal to X we can achieve the same.
Position 3: WI technical view / user view wo ActX
Position 4: Enable forwarding ... to several users
Position 5: seems to always be set - but may be changed somewhere else
Position 6: This parameter is set to Display texts in logon language
Position 7: This parameter is used to set WF log technical view / user view wo ActX
Position 8: WF log user view with ActiveX
Position 9: WI user view with ActiveX
Position 10: No tips & tricks ...
Position 11: No HTML in execution of workitem

Not approved Purchasing Requisition

Hallo all,
how can i prevent that not Approved Purchase Requisition are not able to create Purchase Order?
To reproduce:
create Purchasing Requisition (do not approve it)
create via Autocreate RFQ (with special RFQ Type Bid RFQ)
create via Tools/Copy Document the Bid Quotation (Action: RFQ Header and Lines)
create via Tools/Copy Ducument the PO
In this case you can create PO without of approving of Requisition. But this should not happen.
If there any of EBS-Setups (e.g. Systemprofileoptions) to prevent it???
Best Regards
Sergej

Hallo Sandeep Gandhi,
thanks for Your reply. It is not about whether what someone should or should not, but that this possibility at all should not exist. That the not approved Requisition can convert into RFQ (or rather in Quote and after that into PO) in my case is not desired and should be prevent of system. For example, you want buy as emploee car in your company, you generate Request (not approved Requisition) and then you convert it to RFQ. It could be possible, that in big company, the buyer make real RFQ or get real Quotations. And my Ask is how can i prevent it? You mind "You can consider writing a step in the PO approval workflow that checks if the PO Distribution is tied to a Req Distribution." If I tied or rather reference the Requisition Distribution with PO-Distribution would it be prevent the generation of PO without of approval of this Requisition (not with autocreate but also with Tool/copy Document type)? And then, can you discribe how can i writing a step in the PO approval workflow?
Thanks in advance
Best Regards,
Sergej

User exit / BADI to control the Approved Purchase Requisition

I have configured the Release procedure for Purchase requisition with classification. The Release procedure should be applicable to the manually created Purchase requisitions which are having the total value (USD/ EURO/GBP) .The Release procedure is working well. But at the same time it will not have any control over the PO .We dont want the buyer to change the PO Price above the total value of the Approved Purchase Requisition. I am looking for a User exit or BADI. We want to generate a message as hard core when the PO total value exceeds the PR Value .This is in ECC 6.0.
Can help will be highly appreciated. I already tried with the couple of BADI.
Thanks
Jeevan

Hi Jeevan,
We are still on V4.7 but hopefully these user exits still exist in EEC6.0.
You should be able to use EXIT_SAPMM06E_012 which is part of enhancement MM06E005.
This is specifically to Check Customer-Specific Data Before Saving but we have used it to check that a PO for a one-time vendor is not greater than $10,000, so it should be suitable for your purpose too.
The PO header and item records are all available in the tables that are passed to the FM.

Monika

Changes in approved Purchase Requisition

Hi all,
After a purchase requisition has been released the person that created it can still make changes. If changes are made the altered requisition does not have to be released anymore.
Is is possible to prevent users from changing a released purchase requisition? (How?)
Is it possible to require another release after changing an released purchase requisition? (How?)
Thanks!
Regards,
Victor

Hi Victor,
Below are the possible settings for Release Indicator for PR which may work for your requirements.
If the changeability value -
Blank --- Changeable, new release in case of new Strategy,
1---- Can not be changed
2---- Changeable, no new release in case of new strategy.
Confirm if it works for you.
Thanks,
PNR.

Try with this BADI ME_PROCESS_REQ_CUST and create a new implementation under POST. That would give us the generated new PR number and using that we can access the relevant tables.
And also try this exit given Below EXIT_SAPLMEREQ_009 Document Number Assignment: Purchase Requisition

Workflow email for Purchase Requisition Approval

We have a requirement of sending email to the approvers for approving purchase requisition. Alongwith the email sent out to the approvers (to their Outlook/ Lotus Notes Inbox), we will also like to show the content of the line items of the purchase requisiton. i understand this can be done since in the past at other implementations, I have seen that the email contains the link to goto SAP Ibox and it also shows the content of the requistions.
Our issue is that we are not being able to pass on the content of the requistion line items to the approvers inbox. Is there a setting to activate this in workflow or somewhere that we are missing? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

hi
In the workflow, you need setup the agent assingment(i.e organizationlal roles)

Automate Approved Purchase Requsition to Approved Purchase Order

Hi all,
How can we automate the flow from the Approved Purchase Requisition to Approved PO.
What are the basic setups(ASL, SOURCING RULES) needed?
To brief it, by Requisition Import process we get approved PURCHASE REQUISITION.
In a similar fashion, can we automate(not with autocreate) creation of approved PO without choosing supplier, for each item/requisition ?
Thanks in advance
Regards
Kumar

HI ,
Find below the set up steps for Auto creation of PO.
1.Valid Contract agreement need to be available for the supplier site.
WF set up :
Create Documents workflow attribute :
“Is Automatic Creation Allowed?” set to “Yes”
Should Contract be used to autocreate Doc?” set to “Yes”
"Is automatic approval allowed" set to Yes
"Should Non catalog requests be autosourced from contract" set to YES
"Is contract required on requistion line" set to Yes
In req. approval WF :
'Send PO Autocreation to Background' set to NO for launcing the WF background process to be launched immediately.
In PO module :
PO: Automatic Document Sourcing -- set it to NO
create Sourcing rule and ASL ,Provide the Contract info in ASL and set the release method as "Release using Autocreate"
Note : In case of NCR from iproc which has the item category alone,ASL is not required for auto creation of PO.
Once all this setup is done ,import the req and it would be converted into a std. PO.Hope this suffices.

SNP Purchase requisitions

Hi
i have a situation where in one week the SNP planning run creates only one purchase requsition with single item for the requirement and in another it creates multiple purchase requisitions with single items...
iam unable to understand how the multiple purchase requisitions are created..can you share your ideas,
Thanks

HI,
Yes offcource we can get multiple purchase req from SNP heuristics. here is some scenarios.
1) it depends on lot size settings in product master. in your case you may be getting multiple orders of fixed lot size since demand qty is more then that of fixed qty
2) if you maintained multilple sourcing( inbound quota arrangement) you will get multilple purchase req.
Check above settings carefully..

Purchase Requisitions Approval Error

Hi,
We are working in Oracle Applications 11i. We have the follwoing modules installed and used: Purchasing, Inventory, HRMS(Payrol), General Ledger, Assets, Payables.
I am trying to fill in the gaps in our initial setup in order to enable the user to use Purchase Requistions documents.
Purchasing Super User wishes to create a Purchase requistion herself and get it approved and then distribute the approved requistions amongst the buyers. Is this possible??? How can we implement this? Can we assign the superuser to aan approval hierarchy of one level?
Also, I have created a multi-level position approval hierarchy , run Fill Employee Hierarchy, and assigned it to the Purchase Requisition document.
Me, in the 1st level have created a Purchase Requistion,I submitted for approval and then had the error:
APP-PO-14142: In Exception of Start_Wf_Process()-PO_REQAPPROVAL_INIT1.Start_WF_Process: In Exception handler: ORA-20002: 3108: Root Process could not be determined for item XXXXX. There may be a problem with item type selector function, or you may be required to supply a starting process Name.
Can someone advise please....
Thank you...

Hi again,
Now please help me in the first part of my post.
How can I setup Purchasing Requisition in one-level hierarchy and approval?
After the Reuisition is approved, in order to control the load balance , how can the super user distribute it to buyers to follow up the standard purchase order and submit it for approval?
Thank you
