Workflow for appropriation requests
Hi friends,
This is regarding the approval process for appropriation requests.
The necessary Event linkage activation, partner determination procedure, appropriation request types, defining of approval levels for AR and other necessary configurations. When I am clicking the "for approval" button, the workflow gets started. But the corresponding person is not getting the mail in his inbox for approval.
Please give a solution asap.
regards
Pratap.VHi Sreenivas,
I already did this. Still the problem exists.
Frankly speaking, I know I am making a silly mistake somewhere because I have done all the major settings required. And I am finding it difficult to trace this small mistake. It will ne good if you can send some screen shots of all the configuration required for this.

Attachment in Workflow approval
Hi,
We are using SAP standard workflow for approving Appropriation Request
through object BUS2104.
Applicant gets mail after request is approved or rejected.
In this process, Approver adds his remarks as attachment in workflow.
We want to send these attachments to Applicant alongwith approved/rejection mail.
Can you help in getting these attachments ?
Regards,
SATYAJITHi Viji,
Thanks for quick reply.
I am added some more information here... so that you can help me ...
1. The mail is going to SAP id's inbox. And it is going through activity ( task TS00300053 ) .
There is no container item "attachement", only AttachObjects is there.
I tried to link AttachObjects with AttachObjects.
But it did not work.
2. I added a new mail step with task as TS00300053.
In binding i linked AttachObjects with Attachment.
Recipient type = U
Address = (hardcoded as my external address).
Still the mails are not going.
It is giving following error.
The work item "Appropriation request HYD-0076 was approved!" (ID
000000905122) of type B has the status ERROR.
Initiate a correction measure so that the respective workflow (ID

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,
srikanthsrikanth,
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.

IM - Appropriation Request approval authorization based on Budget Value
Hi all,
Can someone help me confirm the following?
I'm implementing Investment Management module and use appropriation request (AR) to approve budgets where AR statuses can be approved only by certain authorization groups, and we do not use Workflow. The problem is that we want the status change not only based on authorization but combined with the budget value. For example, for budget <50,000 then Superintendants can approve the AR but if it's >50,000 then only Managers can approve the AR.
As far as I've looked, IM module does not provide this functionality where authorization can be restricted based on budget value. Can someone confirm this?
Thx very much in advance!
cheers,
-Ri-The standard AR workflow sends a notification (document once approved) to the applicant and workflow to the approver (for approval). For details refer the link below:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/2a/f9f542493111d182b70000e829fbfe/content.htm
Standard reports under Investment Management>Appropriation Requests>Reports on Appropriation Requests>Master Data Lists ex.,T Code IMR5 - Appropriation Request Without Distribution Without Variants with changed layout to include system status would show you the required information.

Appropriation Request Workflow Not Working
Dear Friends,
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:
1) When appropriation request is submitted for Approval, I am maintaining Ser ids of approvers in the Partner field.The moment I set the For Approval status the Approve Button is deactivated.Even when I log in from the Approver's user ID the button is Deactivated. I believe that, it is so because once workflow is active one can not approve in master data transaction, approval has to be done thru workflow only.
2) When I check the Business Workplace Inboxes of Approvers there are no Workflow related mails.
3) I have also checked in IMA11 that the Work flow has been created.
Ne suggestion on the would be of great value.
Regards,
SeemantI checked all these.
Still there is no success.
In the appropriation request I have maintained different users as partners ( excluding myself) partners. As per the Workflow the mail should go to inbox of these users. Work flow is getting activated but still its not geting updated in the inboxes of users.
Are there any Basis settings that I may be ignoring.
Also the object type BUS2104 is being used. In forum I have read that this object type is obsolete. May be I can change the object type to BUS2204 ( the new one). If I need to do the same, what are the settings I need to do?
Regards,
Seemant

Appropriation Request Workflow
Hi,
I would like to know if users will be able to change the data in the appropriation request if it is already with the approver for approval. I want to know if the system will actually "lock" the Approriation Request object when it is in for approval status.
Thanks!
Regards,
VivianIs there any final answer for Vivian's question? I have the same issue:
Once the APR was submit for approval, workflow will be triggerred and multiple level of approvers can go to APR to change the status of the APR through workflow, one after another. The event linkage is activated, no direct status change is possible. However, the initiator can go into the APR to change any field of the original APR which is in the way of being approved. In such case, the later approver might see different value/contents because it was change since the earlier approvers approved it. The requirement is to make the change not possible once workflow is on the way.
Questions:
How to lock all the fields once an APR is subject to approval in workflow?
Is there a way to cancel the workflow sent if the initiator want to make some changes to the APR?
Any advice will be appreciated. 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
AshutoshThe 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.

Approval levels appropriation request
Hi guru,
for my appropriation request, I have 3 levels of approval.
I want to know, which is the level of approval in every time.
For example, I set my appropriation request with status " For approval" and the workflow starts.
If i see the appropriation request the day after, I want to know if the appropriation request is to 1st level, 2nd level o 3rd level.
Is it possible to know this information?
Thanks in advance
RegardsHi Raffael,
There is no report for exact use your mentioning. But yes you can develop a quick report based on SWWWIHEAD and SWWUSERWI. Where as SWWWIHEAD will give you details of workitem and SWWUSERWI wil give you details about possible or actual agents for a given work item.
Theer are some standard transactions as mentioned by other forum members. But by my experience users need to be more advanced than basic level users to understand it. if it is for your self then thos might be ok. But still if you need a report for regular monitoring i would recommend a bespoke report.
Warm Regards,

Re: Approving two plan variants in an appropriation request
Hi All
I have created a variant 01 for appropriation request and approved it. I want to supplement the same appropriation request with a new budget. So , I created a new variant , and assigned it to a new plan version...But the problem here is I was unable to approve the new variant...The approval button is grayed out...Can anyone help me out please...Why the system is not letting me to approve the new plan variant.Hi ,
as I said variants are like quotations, so you have to maintain it...........
in case of rolling up plan values you have to select respective status profile before rolling up respective variant version or variant version range....... (IM34)
1. approved status profile...
2. created status profile..
3. released status profile...... like that
- give both CRTD & APPRD versions in IM34... select status profile for approved & roll up
then check in IM36 ...
