Workflow approvals for live auction

Hi,
We are in use of live auction process. The buyer creates live auction application and publishes it, at the time of publishing the LAC should go for approvals similar to RFx.
As per SRM 7.0 there is no process for approvals for LAC.
Kindly guide me.
Sunil

Hi ,
No approval process available for Live Auction. You can do only with the help of Authorization .

Workflow approvals for reversals - can be switched off?

What happens to reversals of workflow-approved documents?
Must the reversal also be approved in workflow?
Can reversals be set to NOT require workflow approval?
I had a look here but didn't see anything regarding reversals:
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_02/helpdata/en/45/7efad6b9081c8fe10000000a11466f/frameset.htm (NB this covers up to EHP2 only, eg workflow of uploaded documents is possible after EHP3 but in this link it is stated as not possible)

Hi,
I'm currently implementing workflow at my client. When you reverse an already approved document on which workflow is active it will trigger a new workflow.
This is the right thing to do, cause this will also change the submitted data of a consolidation unit.
when you want to change this I think you need to work with a validation method (which can be attached to a workflow variant). Within a validation rule you can set various conditions and selection rules, one of these selections is on reverse doc no.
The validation will determine if the workflow will start up (or not).
Hope this helps you!

Archival and Purge for Workflow Approvals

I am looking for a way to archive at least 10 years worth of Workflow Approvals for Oracle R12 EBS Financials environment. I cannot find any good notes on My Oracle Support or whitepapers other than a basic paper on general archival and purge programs for Oracle R12 EBS. Any tips on how to setup an archival process for Oracle R12 EBS Workflow approvals would be appreciated.
Thanks
Ben

How to initiate Live auction...

Hi
We are using SRM 4.0 and configured Live auction.
In the smoketest UME logon is successfully verified.
Then selected "Launch applet" button which opens new applet window which is totally blank with blue background.In the status bar it shows "Applet com.sap.srm.la.client.applet.initiator.InitiatorApplet started".
At the same time I am not able to see "ITS/LOGON" button in the smoketest screen as mentioned in the config document.
My question is
1.What should I get in the applet window when "Launch Applet" button is selected and What is the URL for viewing live auction.
2.How to initiate and where to view the Live auction once auction is created in Sourcing cockpit.
Please explain me as I am new to Live auction functionality.
Thanks

Hello Jagdish,
If You want to configure Live Auction, You must do as following:
Configure J2EE Engine with Live Auction.

jco.client.group=PUBLIC
jco.client.r3name=<your SID>
#SAP Application Server and SYSTEM NUMBER
jco.client.ashost=<application host>
jco.client.sysnr=<system number>
Try change UM/ITS authentication:
srmla.um=0
In file:
<drive>:\usr\sap\<J2EE instance>\j2ee\j2ee_<number>\properties\mySAP.properties
EXTERNAL_LOGON_URL=<http or https>://<host>:<port>/scripts/wgate/bbp_la_login/!?~laRedirectURL=
for https change:
UM_USE_HTTPS_LOGON=true

in transaction SM59 add a HTTP connection to your web host.
add to your vendor role: SAP_EC_BBP_BIDDER

To do this use role SAP_EC_BBP_PURCHASER -> sourcing -> process auction
Add prefered vendors, start and end time of auction and click 'Live Auction' link.

Live Auction on ABAP Server: Error mess: "Cannot Connect to Server" in LAC

Dear SRM friends,
we are on SRM 7.0 EhP1 and would like to us Live Auctions.
I've activated Business Function SRM_SOURCING_1 and the switch for Live Auction on ABAP Server.
I'm able to create a auction and when I click on Button "Live Auction" the Live Auction Cockpit starts
with the contents of the created auction (Name, number, status published, item, bidder).
But the screen is blocked. After a few seconds the message "Cannot Connect To Server" with a time stamp appears.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Is workflow mandetory for shopping carts and contracts approvals srm7

hi
in SRM 7 are workflows mandetory for approvals of Shopping carts andContracts?
I understand you need an approved workflow to turn a SC to a PO.
is workflow required for approval of shopping carts or can approvals be done manually
you create the SC and you communicate and look at the sc and approve it
Same type of question for workflow in contracts for approval ?? is it mandetory or optional (manual achieve approvals)
cheers
alex
Edited by: Alex Waiyaki on Apr 23, 2010 8:24 PM

Hello Alex,
SRM 7 has process controlled workflow and its easy to configure for simple requirement.
Yes, Shopping cart approval will be required to change status of SC to approved. Though it can be as simple as auto approval. SAP delivers number of standard BC Set for approvals including auto approval of SC.
SRM also has a option of adding approvers & reviewers. SC creator can add approvers & it goes for approval to added approver.
Hope this helps.
Thanks

Workflow process for MIGO

Dear All,
I 'm new on the forum and I will greetly appreciate to share SAP experience and knowlege. I ' ve been doing MM and FI for only 2 years and I am very interested in workflow procedure.
Here is my question :
Can I set up a workflow procedure for the transaction MIGO in 3 steps
The goal is to divide this transaction in 3 level of approbation to definitly accept a good receipt and to further proceed to Miro transaction.
- First, an user must do the good receipt but the document should just be just maintained.
- Second step, an user should confirm or modify the maintained document and park it. This user could not be the same one as the one that made the good receipt at the first level.
- Finally, at the third level, an user will finally confirm the good receipt, post the document which will be available for clearing in MIRO. This user could not be the one that order the goods in first instance.
Any help would be greetly appreciated.

There are some default approval processes available. Luckily, there is one for a manager approval that requires no custom coding. You can use this one:
BeneficiaryManagerApproval
This acquires approval from the beneficiary's manager. This can be associated with the following:
The request types that have a beneficiary. Examples of such request types are Provision Resource and Assign Roles.
All user models except Create User and Self-Register User.
This composite must be associated at the operational level of approval because a request can have multiple beneficiaries at the request level.
To the list of other available default approvals, you can check here: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/doc.1111/e14309/soa.htm#BABIHHBE
If you want to do a custom approval, i would suggest the Oracle By Examples, they will get you started: http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=44785:2:0:FORCE_QUERY::2,RIR,CIR:P2_SEARCH,P2_GROUP_ID,P2_PRODUCT_ID,P2_RELEASE_ID:Approval%2C1001%2C2019%2C131

Live Auction has been installed, but doesn't work

Hi experts!
I've got a lot of errors - LAC doesn't work - Need your help!
1: (SmokeTest):
Make sure the Live Auction initiator's applet JAR file has been properly deployed. This file should be located at H:\usr\sap\SRN\DVEBMGS02\j2ee\cluster\server0\apps\sap.com\com.sap.srm.la\servlet_jsp\srm\root\srm\nullsrmlaInitiator5.10.0.jar.
If you are accessing this page outside of the firewall and via a web dispatcher or reverse proxy, then make sure you can download the JAR file using the "Download" button below. Alternatively, you can try accessing this page inside the firewall to verify that the JAR file is deployed properly.

What can I do?
If the termination type was RABAX_STATE, then you can find more information on the cause of the termination in the system SRN in transaction ST22.
If the termination type was ABORT_MESSAGE_STATE, then you can find more information on the cause of the termination on the application server serverzzz_SRM_zz in transaction SM21.
If the termination type was ERROR_MESSAGE_STATE, then you can search for more information in the trace file for the work process 0 in transaction ST11 on the application server serverzzz_SRM_zz . In some situations, you may also need to analyze the trace files of other work processes.
If you do not yet have a user ID, contact your system administrator.

Any help will be appreciated!

I cannot explain it other than to tell you the current recommendations are to keep java turned off and there are no other posts like yours that claim they need it on (at least that I have seen). Also I have it off on my system and flash plays with no problems in all the sites I go to (modulo some buffering problems sometimes with certain hi-res videos on only youtube).
Did you install the latests flash player downloaded directly from the adobe site?
Maybe you have a flash storage or cookie problem. Those can be cleared and deleted with the Flash Player system preferences.
It's your decision on whether you want to take your chances with Java on rather than find the root of the problem. If you do that then at a minimum make sure you have latest apple java updates, I recommend you install and learn about Little Snitch, and use OpenDNS DNS servers (208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220).

Live Auction's jCO RFC connection to SRM is NOT successful.

hi to all,
can any one help me about the configuration of RFC of live auction cockpit?
i have followed the inst guide, but i always keep getting this message.
RFC Error using locale en
RFC Error using locale ja
RFC Error using locale de
Your RFC connection between Live Auction and SRM has failed. Please verify the following:
Did you configure your SRM jCO setting (eg: jco.client.ashost, jco.client.sysnr etc) in Live Auction's properties?
Is the user specified in jco.client.user property exist in SRM with the correct role and password ? Please change the user to type dialog and try to logon via SAPGUI before changing it to communication user to ensure the user is NOT locked.
Did your SRM R3 has the code page installed that are specified in jco.client.lang ?
Please check the J2EE engine's log file to see more details of the error. Please refer to J2EE's documentation on how to view the log files.
thanks in advance

Hi Ranin,
Have you checked the note 1593439 where it mentions:
If you are using Live Auction JAVA, you would additionally be required
to assign the Authority object S_RFC to the RFC user being used for
establishing a JCO connection between LACWPS JAVA Server and the SRM
ABAP backend system with the following values. This authority is not
needed in case you are using Live Auction on ABAP in SRM 7.0 Enhancement
Pack 1 (SAP SRM 7.01) or higher release.
       Object            Field                Value
       S_RFC             ACTVT                16
                         RFC_NAME             BBP_LA_BIZAPI
                         RFC_TYPE             FUGR
Perhaps this is the problem?
