Work Item redirected to different approver without substitution

Hi All,
We are facing an issue for Purchase Order Approval Workflow whereas Work Items are going to different approver without substitution is activated.

Hello,
Look in the workflow log (SWI1), it will tell you exactly what happened.
Is it possible they were forwarded?

  • Two work items are generating in approver inbox ?

    Hi Experts,
    iam working on PR Workflow. I used the user decision to the Approver for approving.  when i relased in me54n. it will go to the approver. but every time two work items are generated in Approver inbox.
    I used the Responsible agent and possible agent is the same user.
    Please how can i control this ?

    Hi Chinni,
                   I guess this could be happening because of any of the following reasons.
    1) if you are using a custom workflow for PR release check the standard one is deactivated.
    2) In SWEL check the event linkage for your BUS there could be 2 of them, Delete one of them.

  • Error: You are not a receiver of the work item in Leave Request Approval

    Hi all,
    I have copied the standard leave request workflow and done the customization as per my requirement.
    Agent assignment for all the tasks are General Tasks.
    We are facing below error when we are trying to approve the leave request from MSS UWL.
    "You are not a receiver of the work item.".
    This started happening after implementing the note 1501377 which is for clearing the approved leave request
    workitems from UWL .
    i have gone through the threads related to this issue and tried given solution but no success  .
    Please let me know if anything else is missing since its happening after implementing the note.
    Thanks,
    Santosh

    Able to resolve the issue :-).
    i was using Fork since my workflow is a two level process.
    so the workflow was travelling to both branches one was in ready state another was in waiting state(48hours deadline)
    having different agents.
    i debugged the 1501377 note code when leave is approved it is looking  at last workitem  of the request which is waiting state workitem in my case and I was trying to approve the leave from user who is in ready state. then it throws the error.
    So i have changed the design of workflow. i have done below things for two level process.
    i will have requested end for approval task with outcome in that branch i kept second level approver. My questions
    1) i am planning to do write below code to post the entries into infotypes after approval by managers. is it ok or any suggestions?
       CALL METHOD cl_pt_arq_processor=>post
          EXPORTING
            im_request =
          RECEIVING
            ret_value  = retrun
    2) how to complete the WF if the 1st manager misses the deadline and WF goes to second manager?
    Please let me know.
    Thanks,
    Santosh

  • Could not open work Item having form with approve option

    Hi all
    I am using a form step in my work flow.
    Display form is working well.
    But when I use approve form, work item is reaching the correct inbox, but while opening the work item, it is showing the message as below instead of showing the form.
    Form cannot be executed (parameters incorrect)
    Message no. SWY_TASK_FORM029
    I could not able to find out, why this message is coming. Also In my work flow no errors are there.
    Can any one help me to solve this issue.
    Regards,
    Avinash.

    Thanks for the reply.
    The below three elements are binded correctly,
    &FORMPROGRAM&
    &FORMDYNPRO&
    &FORMCONTAINERELEMENT&
    In display form below container element is also created, For this element I have binded manually.
    &FORMWORKITEMID&.  Whizard didnot created the biding for this element in Display Form
    But in Approve form container element &FORMWORKITEMID& is not at all created while creating through whizard.
    Does this is causing the Issue?

  • Work Item not getting logically deleted

    Hi All,
    We have created a custom workflow for PR approval at Item Level. I have RELEASE STEP CREATED as triggering event.
    I have used a FORK with 5 branches with 4 wait events and min cond as 1. The inherited business object ZBUS2009 has been created with events CHANGE, DELETED. The business object has been delegated to Original Business object BUS2009.
    To trigger the events like DELETED and CHANGED, I have used POSTED METHOD of ME_REQ_POSTED BADI.
    When a PR Item is created the agents are determined successfully and work item is placed in his SAP Inbox. Later the PR Item has been deleted and saved the BADI Implementation is triggered and I can see the log in SWEL for DELETED event with success icon.
    However when i go back to PR Item which i have deleted and see the workflow log the work item is still in the approver's inbox. but the graphic log shows that the DELETED branch of the fork is completed. I tried all options like Buffer synch, background job, queue admin etc with no success.
    I did the same workflow at one of my previous clients and it is working perfectly for last 2yrs.
    Can any one guide me on what could have gone wrong or what i am missing?
    Thank you all in advance for help...
    Regards,
    Lakshmi Narayana

    Hi Arghadip,
    Thanks for your quick response.
    The fork is having 5 parallel branchs and 1 necessary branch and is INDEED HAS NO EXTRA CONDITIONS.
    Also as i mentioned the graphical log shows that the completion of BRANCH Beneth DELETED but the work item is still in approver's inbox. 
    Please let me know if I am missing something....

  • Urgent - How to get a pop up after executing a work item?

    Hi Gurus,
    I am working on a PO Approval workflow which is designed to approve multilevel POs depending upon its amount.
    Now the requirement is that I need to provide a pop up with list of second level approvers to the user immediately when the user executes the work item of first level approval in his/her SAP Inbox.
    Waiting for responses ASAP. Let me know if scenario needs to be clarified in more depth.

    Hi Shaurya
    You can create a method to send a second workitem to the agent with a list of agents for the second level, and pass the selection back to your workflow container.  Set the new task as "Advance with Dialog" and you should be fine.
    Alternately you could set your new method as a secondary method AFTER workitem execution call, but don't forget to check the result of the first approval so the popup is only involed if they have approved the first step.

  • Approval of Working Time & Multi Level CATS approval

    Hi experts,
    We have implemented CATS multi level approval as below.
    1. In the CATS user exit we call a Workflow which is a multi level
    workflow.
    2. We are using the standard Webdynpro for CATS entry and approval.
    Problem:
    Once the first level manager(Say A) approves the timesheet work item
    gets triggered for the next level approver(Say B). Since approval is a
    standard webdynpro, the status of the CATS record immediately changes
    from 20 to 30. So in the workflow, before sending the work item to
    second level approver, we change the status of the time record back to
    20 (Since it is yet to go through all approvals).
    Now in the Team--> Approve working time section of the MSS, manager 'A'
    still sees the record for approval, even though now the approval is
    pending from 'B'. Moreover 'A' can approve this item as well (which
    should not be the case).
    Please provide a solution so that 'A' will not have the working time
    item in his 'Working time section' after the A approves it in the UWL.
    Thanks
    Krishna

    Solved it myself.
    My solution is documented here.

    Please leave your comments if you have any better solution for multi level approval.
    Thanks in advance,

  • Need 2 links in an Work item???

    Hi Experts,
    I am having a requirement as i need to display the 2 Links which should route to a T-Code via a work item... I can display the 1 link for a transaction VA03 based on the Display method in a business object and in the same work item i need to give a link to display the VC01N transaction which is related to another business object... So please guide me how can i display 2 Links in an Work item for 2 different transactions...
    Thanks,
    Srikag

    Hello,
    The workitem will display a link for the default method of every BOR in the workflow (besides the workflow BOR).
    So if you want a link to transaction x, make a BOR and make x the default method of that BOR and instantiate that BOR in the workflow.
    Usually the BOR already exists; you'll just have to instantiate it with a relevant value in the workflow and possibly change the default method.

  • Confirmation after approving wokr item/Cart status in APPROVAL DETAIL scrn

    Hi all,
    We are on SRM 7.1. ECS.
    In SRM 7,all work items needs to be approved by UWL.However while approving work items for shopping cart in UWL,I have observed that if I click on the APPROVE button after going to the work item details,there is no confimrtaion message displayed that cart was approved or work item prcoessed succesfully.Also the contril stays in the same screen and status of cart is shown as "AWAITING APPROVAL" which could be misleading for the approver who actually apporves the work item.
    Can anyone confirm if this is std behaviour?Should the SC status show as APPROVED immdiately after the APPROVE button is clciked in DETAIL screen?
    Also if this is  std behaviour,is there any way to show a confirmationmessage saying that SC was approved successfully or work item prcesseds uccesffully like in SRM 5 INBOX trasnaction?
    Pls advise

  • How to reassing Work items to another user?

    Hi SDN
    We have a situation where we need to extract, from one approver inbox, all the work items he has to approved, and re-assign them to another approve, who has the same level of approval.  I know we could only ask the 1st approver to go in Change mode and re-assign Approver #2, but Approver #1 is not available.
    Can you please explain me how to extract the list of work items sitting in Approver #1 inbox, and re-assign them to Approver #2 using some of the WF t-code available for EBP Administrator?
    Thanks for your usual collaboration!
    Eric L.

    Did you try the FM SWW_WI_FORWARD
    To get a particular user inbox workitems you have FM SAP_WAPI_CREATE_WORKLIST which will rertun you all the workitems that are in the ready status.
    BY using the FM SWW_WI_FORWARD you can forward the workitems.
    Suppose if we have 2 users UA and UB and you need to send all the workitems of UA to UB and when you send the workitems , what ever the workitem that you send to  UB that workitem will not be available in UA if you use the FM SWW_WI_FORWARD

  • Pulling Multiple Approver Names from Workflow Logs for One Work Item

    I have a workflow design which requires multiple approvals per single work item.  I happen to have another functional design that is also pulling data from those same workflow logs.  Assuming I have multiple approvals at various levels for a single work item which table do I need to reference along with which fields to reference the different approvers per level of approval?

    Hello,
    The same tables. The principle is the same, just more agents.

  • Retrieving approval work item comments

    Does anyone know how you retreive the comments inserted by approvers against approvals, so they can be used in workflows? This is a text area with a fieldref name of Log Comments with an inner field name of :variables.comments. I have tried to grab this value of :variables.comments in a hidden field in the Work Item List Form without success and just cannot figure out how to retreive it.

    Hi, I have the same problem.
    If you log into the IDM admin interface
    and look under the WorkItems->Approvals tab,
    the out-of-the-box approvals process
    presents a text-area where an approver
    can add comments.
    How do you capture the comments so you can use it,
    for example, in the body of an email?
    Thanks,

  • Work item never shows up in the approver queue

    Hi All,
        This is a specific issue to a particular user - approver. requisitioners are creating carts and are able to see that it is in approval queue. But the approver  is not able to see the approval items in his queue.
    We are in SRM 5.0 ECS SP15. This issue started all of recently. There has no changes in Org structure specifically to his attributes or workflow changes. Interestingly when workitem is forwarded to another approver, then that approver is able to view it. So, this tells me that this specific user has issues to view work items for approval.
    Any suggestions is greatly appreciated and rewared.
    Thanks
    Rao

    Hello Rao,
    Did you check in SWI1 transaction if your particular user is defined as approver for concerned workitem ?
    If you have user ID and password, can you see the workitem in SBWP transaction ?
    If you use offline approval, has approval mail for this approver been created ? You should see it in SOST transaction.
    Regards.
    Laurent.
