Withdraw item submitted for approval

Is there a way for submitter to withdraw item that has been submitted for approval in Portal?
Thanks,
Gary

hi,
I am using Portal 10.1.2.
It seems that there is no mechanism to retreat the newly added or modified contents as the "submit for approval" is automatic.
Anyone who can tell us the solutions?
How about Portal 10.1.4 ? Are there any new feature in this version to address the problem we are facing?
thanks

Work flow - user is not reciving mail,once CREDIT MEMO submits for approval

Hi All,
Please find the issue as below.
User created the credit memo and submitted for approval. user is expecting the mail in his mail-box, once he submitted the credit memo for approval and same way once approver approved the credit memo, user is expecting mail such that credit memo has been approved.
He informed that previously he is receiving the mails as expected.
Now all of sudden he is not receiving mails.
I have checked work flow mailer, mailer is up and running.
I have gone through the wf_notifications table, here i can see that MAIL_STATUS column having value of "MAIL".
even i have gone through WF_USERS table this particular user is existing and status is "ACTIVE".
But user is not yet received any mail.
Kindly some one help me to sort out this issue.
Thanks in Advance.

Thanks RK for your quick reply.
I was gone through the details you have provided. every thing is fine as expected.
Later i have checked workflow mailer, it was down, due to that notifications are not reached to users/customers.once it is up and running mail notifications sent to respective users successfully.
Many Thanks.

Number of Appropriation request submitted for approval

Hi Friends,
There are around 14000 appropriation request (AR's) are created in my system. And we have developed workflow for AR approval. And AR should be submitted for approval via only Control tab in IMA11 but some of the AR's are submitted via Variant Tab ( causing problem in work flow)
Now I would like to know the number of AR's which are submitted via variant tab. I can find out this by selecting AR's from IMAK table and then checking IMA11 for each AR but it is very time consuming.
Can I get the number of AR's submitted for approval via variant tab by using any table or any report available for this purpose.
Any pointers.
Regards
Ashutosh

The problem sounds more like a business area problem rather than workflow problem. From the workflow side you can look into the user who created the workflow but I'm not sure that would be helpful. What you might want to do is to check with your DB admin as they might be able to find out a way.

Change in Work item Text for Approval Workflow WS14000133

Hi,
I need to change the work item text for Shopping Cart Approval Workflow WS14000133.
I have created an Attribute in Business Object BUS2121 and called the same attribute in work item text.
In PFTC -> Redefine Work item text - > and i have defined the work item text as well called the attribute from the container.
what the problem over here is - when I am passing the attribute in the work item text in the task, I am unable to see the work item text with the Dynamic Attribute but I am able to see the work item alone (not with the Dynamic attribut)
But when i debug the workflow from SWI1 then i can see the dynamic attribute in the Container of the workflow but nt in the approver's inbox in portal..
Can you please tell me - that why is this a strange behaviour that i can see the Dynamic attributed created initially in the workflow container of the Business Object but nt in the Approvers inbox either in Backend nor in the front end...
Thanks,

Po approved but still being submitted for approval

Can you please explain how to stop the approval requests for PO? Approver keeps getting prompted to approve after he’s already approved this. Thanks!

Hi Mari,
Please check under what condition the PO Approval request is being sent now. If its BSP Workflow or non-BSP Workflow.
If the condition is not satisfied then it must be going for the further Approval.
Else give the details on which you are sending the Approval Task for the PO Approval.

How to use the Validate step for Approve step

Hi Experts,
I have modeled a workflow with the steps start,process, validate, approve, process and stop.
Process is set to owner and approve is set to some other user user1.
My requirement is as follows :
1) Approve the records by approver and then it should send it to the next step for further processing
1.1) if the approver did not approve the record it should send a error message until the record is approved. So it should not send it to the next step when record is not approved
I am using a field called item status for approving and disapproving the records. My validation is based on this field only... Validation working fine when i tested it manually.
But my issue is when am using this validate step in workflow design validation is getting triggered for all the users.as per my requirement only approver should get the error message.But in my scenario owner is getting the error message and approver is not getting any message.
How can i use the validate step only for particular step say approve in workflow.
Can anyone please help me out how should use validate step only for approve step...
Thanks & Regards
Sireesha.

Hi ,
I have set the validation property to "None".
My design is as follows :
start->process->validate->approve->stop.
Owner is assigned to process step and approver is assigned to approve step.
Now my problem is owner is also getting this error message along with the approver. AS per the design both process, approve users are getting the error message.
As per my requirement only approver should get this prompt but not the owner.
How can i restrict only for specifc user to get this message.
Can anybody please advice how can restrict the owner to not get this error message...
Thanks & Regards
Sireesha.

Workflow for Approval of Appropriation Request

Dear experts,
I have been working on Workflow for Approval of Appropriation Request.
Even after carrying out all the required configuration, the process is not working. Following are the symptoms:
When appropriation request is submitted for Approval, I am maintaining user ids of approvers in the Partner field.The moment I click For Approval status the Approve Button is deactivated.Even when I log in from the Approver's user ID the button is Deactivated.
When I check the Business Workplace Inboxes of Approvers there are no Workflow related mails.
please help me out
Regards,
srikanth

srikanth,
Have you maintained all the configurations related to Work flow in IMG? like activating event linkage, assigning agents, approval schema etc...
Also, have you maintained the workflow automatic configuration in transaction SWU3,
you have to maintain the following:
1. create a user id WF-BATCH, user type system and maintain a password for this user (seek BASIS team help for doing this)
2. Assign SAP_ALL & SAP_NEW in user profile tab.
3. in SWU3, under Maintain Runtime Environment --> Maintain Workflow System Administrator , select line and click on execute button, select user - WF-BATCH, save and back.
4. then in the same screen select *Configure RFC Destination * click on execute, system prompts with the user id mentioned in the above step, you enter the password mentioned in the first step, click OK.
5. now select *Maintain Runtime Environment * click on perform automatic configuration button (f9).
6. Ensure that the option Maintain Runtime Environment turns to Green tick mark.
7. select Classify Tasks as General click on perform automatic configuration button (f9).
8. Ensure that the option Maintain Runtime Environment turns to Green tick mark.
Now can go to transaction SWDD, on the left side of the screen, in the field WORKFLOW enter this value* WS00300022* press enter. Click on test (F8) button.
In the Test Work flow screen select BUS2104 line, it shows a new line at the bottom of the screen with the following options:
Object type: BUS2104, Key:
You enter the appropriation request number in the field key (you cannot directly enter value here, choose drill down option (f4) then a new window pops up, enter the approp request number, click ok.
then click on execute (f8).
Now you can check in the approver's business work place under Inbox - workflow.

Api call for 'submit for approval'

would like to be able to use the content management event system to watch for incoming files. when a new file comes in i want to set some attributes based on the payload before it is submitted for approval. i am having problems finding the proper procedure to automatically submit the file for approval once i set the attribute values (which must be done while the file is in draft mode)
is that possible?

If the target node for your operation is a sibling, I believe you're going to have to pass the parent node of the sibling into the AddNode() API call when this operation occurs within a version. Note that copyNodesAcrossVersions is a new method that has a copyAsSibling parameter, but AddNode() does not.

Submit a document for approval and accompany with supporting documents

Frequently, the document that is being submitted for approval, requires to be accompanied by supporting documents which may be Excel spreadsheets and/or Word documents and/or Autocad Drawings and/or PDF documents.
How can I route these supporting documents along with the document being processed for approval?
Thank you very much for your guidance.

Do you have Sharepoint Standard License?
I think what you need is start working with Document Sets. You can create workflow to Documents sets that treat multiple documents as if it's an archive.

UWL for Manager : Multiple work items for approval

Hi Experts, We have a scenario when the line manager is approving the leave workitems in his UWL. And the UWL has multiple leave workitems pending for approval. When the line manager click on any of the work item in the UWL, The UWL opens the items which was first creared in the UWL rather than the one which the line manager clciked. Then line manager has to navigate to the desired work item by clicking on next button. Is their any funtionality / customization available to get only the work item which is clicked in the UWL. Please advise. Regards, IFF

I had the same issue and spent a long time correcting it including opening a OSS request with sap.
It took a combination of all almost all the notes above (1807724 is included in our current release so we didn't have to install).
But nothing worked for us until SAP directed me to the following note http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1733095 that was the final fix to all our problems.
One other thing to note is from the time we implemented the correction for note: 1946640 had changed from its original so if you implemented it before revision 3 came out you may need to update.
Hope this helps,
Martha.

LaunchFCP error when submitting content for Approval

I'm getting a 'Delivery Validation' error while submitting content for approval.
Screenshot of error.
Where can I find the logs to debug issue's like this failures.

LaunchFCP refers to sending a proof. When you Submit Content for Approval, Adobe Campaign sends out a Proof to the proof target and sends a Validation Request to the Content Reviewer.
You can Open a delivery to view the error details on the Summary page. The proof does not appear on the Campaign dashboard, but you can go to the Deliveries folder under Campaign Management (default location) to see deliveries and their proofs. Proofs are a copy of the original delivery with [Proof n] in the subject line.
Generally, don't delete campaign configurations. For some configurations, when you delete them they are moved to an archive folder. For example, if I look in the Deleted deliveries folder, I can see some proofs and e-mails that you deleted. The reason your proof failed appears to be because of a missing subject line. There is a rule in Adobe Campaign that checks for this.
Hope this helps!
