Workflow for approving documents: rejected document

Hi expert colleagues,
at my client we are implementing the workflow functionality for approving documents (EhP2). I managed quite easily to set-up the basic workflow as described in the documentation. I have one question though, the problem is the following:
Step 1: a correction document is entered by the corporate consolidation team person 1 and a workflow is triggered
Step 2: the document is rejected by the approval agent of the consolidation unit
Step 3: the rejected document becomes available for person 1 of the consolidation team, but the person is not present that day. Another person of the consolidation team wants to pick-up the rejected document, adjust it and start the workflow again. This seems to be impossible, the rejected document can only be modified (or discarded) by person 1. Even if person 1 identifies a substitute, the substitute cannot change the rejected document.
Question: is there a way to let another person pick up a rejected document?
Thx, ewald

Hi,
you can probably assign multiple approval agents to one consolidation unit. But in the case there is a rejection by one of the agents the document goes back to the initiator.
The document initiator can only discard or change the document via the consolidation monitor, task manual posting. And the initiator is the only one who seems to have the power to call up a rejected document (in that way it looks a bit as a user specific held document).
Any extra thoughts or should I look on the workflow forum?

Function module to find list of workflows for a document

Hi
Is there any standard function module where I can get list of active workflows for a document ?
example : for business object FIPP I have a document number, fiscal yr and co code. I need to get like of workflow instances for it.
what we do in SWI6 or in display transaction - services for objects - workflow overview.
I need find function module as I need to call it in a user exit.
thanks
bhakti.

Hi,
Concatenate the fields in the following order:
1. SourceCompanyCode
2. DocumentNo
3. FiscalYear
Use
CATID = 'BO'
TYPEID = 'FIPP'
INSTID = Concatenated value
in SWW_WI2OBJ to find TOP_WI_ID. Use this TOP_WI_ID as an input Parameter TOP_WI_ID of table SWWWIHEAD.
This will give you all workitems for your Document.

Hi,
Are there any special settings for SUBWORKFLOWS
There is no Special Setting for Sub Workflow.
Only error which i get in my inbox is
Please repair the suspended workflow
1) Once you get the Error, open a new session goto T.code SU53 and see any authorization issue
If Yes, send the screen shot to Basis Team to get the authorization.
2) If Authorization is fine, Check the binding for that Workitem Regenerate and Test it . Also Check the Workflow log and see which step error is showing, then see the Step history comments. .

Workflow - split approved and rejected items for next step

Hi! I have just started building a simple approval workflow for any price variation of the catalog items. I have a question in regards to the handling of rejection and approval of items. Say I run the workflow which does the validation and it spits out 4 items with huge price variation which requires approval by the manager (using the Approve stencil). The manager logs in, review the items and mark 3 items for approval and reject one. It seems that using this Approve function, I can only proceed to the next step if ALL of the items are approved. Is there a way to be able to release the approved items leaving the rejected one behind? This is so that we can release the approved item first (which also means to check in the items) and leave the rejected item in check-out mode.
Appreciate your comments on the above.
Thanks!
SF

Hi SF,
Yes there is a workaround for dealing with the Approved and Disapproved Records by using the Process step instead of the Approve step.
Kindly follow the Elearning session below which will explain you how to go about this:

For such activities you would probably better make use of ISR.
See [SAP Help - Internal Service Request|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/53/3120386827c23ce10000009b38f842/frameset.htm]

I am not using condition for Approval and Rejection.

Hi Balaji,

I am using Decision.
I am not able to find the error.Rejection is going on Successfully.
I am to rectify this error from past 4 days.
Can you give the solution.
Regards,

Hi chow,
What is the condition that u are using the Condition Statement.
Please check the status returned from the Approval Process, by analyzing the Workflow Log for the particular step.
Think there is a problem with the condition statement.

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.

Workflow for Parked Document (FV60)

Hi,
Can anyone tell me which workflow to be used for Parked Documents. The tcode is FV60. And I want to know what are all the settings have to be done in SPRO tcode. Can anyone provide me step by step procedure??
I think there are some 5 workflows : WS100000051,52,53,54,55.
I've to config for 6 Approvers. So which one can I use???

Hello Gurus,
Do anyone know what are all the settings have to be done in SPRO tcode. I've done some settings in which work item goes to the users which i've assigned at the same time. I need it to go one by one approved....
I want to know whether I should use only one approval path ?
In Assign Release Approval Procedure for Parking Document, do i need to give only one entry or 6 entries as i'm using 6 approvals. And the amount column in that is total amount or the amount for single release??
can anyone help me out in this ???

Error in Workflow for Parked Document (FV60)

Hi Workflow Experts,
I have a FI document parking Workflow scenario which is 3 level release that is if the amount is upto 10000 first person will release if it's more than that upto 20000 then second user has to release ,if more than that then third user will post.
For this i have activated the main workflow WS10000051 and for two level release i have activated the sub workflows WS10000052 for first level release and WS10000053 for secondlevel release and WS10000054 for thirdlevel release.
I have also done the Release strategy configuration in SPRO such as
in the following SPRO steps
1) Create Workflow Variant for Parking Document
2) Define Entry Screens for Parking Document
3) Assign Compaany Code to a Workflow variant for Parking Documents
4) Define Release Approval Groups for Parking Documents
5) Define Release Approval Path for Parking Doc
6) Assign Release Approval Path for Parking Documents
7) Assign Release Approval Procedure for Parking Doc
8) Define Users with Release Authorization for Parking Document. ( I have assigned the Position of CEO created in HR to this)
Now when the document is parked it throws the error
Error in workflow Customizing for document parking (tranasction OBWE) and it stops in the step Determining Sub Workflow.
Has anyone come across this issue.Please guide me in resolving in this issue, i am not able to identify whether this error is happening in workflow or due to some missed entries in SPRO settings of FI.
So please provide me how to do settings in SPRO For Parking, mainly in Tcode OBWE.
Regards,
Sagar

Hi,
Your question is exactly same as below.
[Re: Error in FI Document Parking Workflow;
Hope you 've gone thru this link already, if not, pl. go thru the above link. Also, give us more details on the error you see on the wflow log, like you are not getting any wflow template ID in the cont.element "&ACTIVITY_000043_TASK&", This should have either WS10000052, 53 or 54 depending on the Amt. level. See if you are getting any value here. If not, then there is somethign wrong in your OBWE settings.
Also, sometimes, even though this step of "Determe Subworkflow" step works fine, if there is no proper agent assignment, then also, it cannot create work item for next step of Sub wflow and hence will error out.
Pl .check the above. May be a detailed error message from wflow log would help us out in suggesting better.
Goodluck
