Workflow for PR approval and rejection with comments

Dear Experts,
We have implemented SAP standard workflow in DEV server for PR item release i.e WS00000038, when I reject a PR notification is not sent to initiator.
If I see In SWEL - When a PR item is rejected system is picking up step "PR item significantly changed" instead of "Item release cancelled"
1.Approval notifications are getting to user's SAP inbox but not rejections.
2. We have to capture user rejected comments in workflow which again will be sent to outlook of user.How this can be achieved?
Need your help in this regard.
Thanks,
Uzair

Hi,
Item release is configured for PR
My problem is when user rejects a PR line item notification is not sent to initiators sap inbox - though approval notifications are working fine.
When I see event trace for this activity in SWEL its showing me as
BUS2009 Rejection start - No receiver entered
The receiver data shown is empty in the log.
How can we maintain receiver data for this one since we have used standard workflow - WS00000038
Please help me in this regard.

Email Notifications through workflow for all Approved and Rejected Orders

hi,

Hi,
An option would be use Oracle Alert. Create an event based alert on the table where you have order approvals or rejections. This alert will be raised after inserting or updating this table. Create an action linked to this alert, and choose message as action type.
This setup can be done under Alert Manager Responsibility.

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!

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:

Approve and Reject of a workflow from outlook

Hi,
We have a requirement in which the approval and rejection of the workflow has to be done from outlook inbox. Please let me know in what way can this be achieved.
I have gone throuigh the SWNCONFIG documentation, However I am not sure on whether it satifies the above requirement. Kindly let me know if this is possible using SWNCONFIG.

Hi MT,
well as our friends suggested about DUET, DUET is a separate software altogether.
Its an Outlook synchronization with SAP, but it is limited to very few business processes.
Now question is,
a) what is your business process which you are looking for?
b) Your actual requirement is to approve/reject thru Outlook, well this could be resolved in a different way, that is, say for instance your business process is for Invoice Verification, where you want user to approve or reject. In this case you can integrate Outlook with SAP for this process, where the user would get the workitem in his/her Outlook, the moment the user db-clicks on it, it would take him to SAP tcode for releasing the Invoice block. This could be done thru RSWUWFML2 for all SAP versions or thru SWNCONFIG for ECC versions.
c) If this is not you looking for, then I doubt if such an integration is possible, because getting an Approve and Reject button in your Outlook would be difficult.
d) Else if your organization has EP or UWL installed, then Approve/Rject buttons could be populated.
Hope it helps.

I am not using condition for Approval and Rejection.

Hi Balaji,
I am not using condition for Approval and Rejection.
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,
Chow.

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.

Sending a document as an mail attachment with approve and reject button

Hi all,
i have an infopath form where a user fills the form and on submit the form is saving as an document in the document library,
now my question is, how can i get this document as an mail attachment with approve and reject option.

Hello,
You need to hide them on form load for user. Add one more hidden control in form and keep control value blank initially. Now add rule on button submit to set the control value to some other so you can hide/show the button.
Now add rule on approve and reject buttons that, if field1 is blank then hide this control.

Workflow for Document Approval

Hi all,
I'm a newbie to SolMan and is trying to figure out how to implement a workflow for document approval. A similar question has probably been posted in the past, but I can't find a definite solution, only some hints.
Basically, what we're trying to achieve is the following:
When a document is uploaded using SOLAR02, and the creator of the document changes the status to ready for sign-off, we would like to trigger a workflow which will send an email to a couple of persons who are responsible to approve the document. We already implement the digital signature, we just want to add an automatic email notification to be sent to the approvers.
Based on my research, it seems that this is not supported by SolMan and hence we have to do a custom development.
There's an object key called SOLMANDOC and we should raise an event (something like SIGNATURE_PROCESS_START) to send an email notification to the approvers. Can somebody confirm whether my understanding is right ? Does anybody know the name of the BADI that we can modify to achieve our goal ?
FYI, we're using SolMan Rel 7.01 SP 19.
Thanks in advance

Hi Phil,
I'm facing with problems with creating a simple 2 steps release strategy.
the problem is I cant approve the last step of the release.
This is what I did:
In spro Digital Signature->Signature strategy:
in "Define Authorization groups" I create this entries:
1. EING
2. VERIF
in "Define Individual Signatures" I create this entries:
1. S1   EING
2. S2   VERIF
in "Define Individual Strategies: I create this entries:
SigStrat: ZSIGSTR
Signature Method: R
Display comment: X Required
Display Remark: X
Display document: X
Verification: not checked
in "Assign individual signatures"
CtrIn Indiv.SIG.      AGrpDIG
1          S1               EING
2          S2               VERIF
Display Predecessor for Ctrln is 2 is 1
for "Display release statuses" an entry with one line with the value 1
and in "Display individual signatures there 2 entries 1 and 2.
in spro "Define Document status schemes"
stat scheme "ZSIGSTR"
4 status:
Status                 init status      Sequence    Low     High       lock         Signature schma End status         Cancel status
COPY_EDITING       X                  10           10       20          -
REVIEW                                     20           10        40        X                    ZSIGSTR         RELEASED    DECLINED
RELEASED                                30           10        40        X
DECLINED                                  40           10        20
I created two roles with object c_sign_bpr one with the value "EING"   and the other with the value "VERIF"
I assign this status scheme to a document type in my project.
I tried to release a document the first step was the author of the document move the status to "REVIEW" and I got a window that i need to enter my password and it worked ok.
The problem is in the second step that I need to release the document (now is in a REVIEW status) When I press on the icon in order to release I didn't get the option to release only to cancel there is no "V" option in the small window.
Can you please tell me if I did a correct customization? also can you tell me if my problem is maybe missing authorization? Can you direct me to reading material or to an example?
Best regards

Approve and reject button not appearing in the POrtal screen

Hi All ,
I have an issue where i create a meeting rwquets and then it goes for approval to the manager , but in this case the manager is not able to see the approve and reject button in the screen , whereas it appears in the back end , please suggest what setting are to be in place to appear those two buttons to click on .

Hi,
Then you will have to modify the standard UWL configuration file.
If your task looks like a standard task (maybe you copied a standard task and modified it slightly), you have to find the ItemType corresponding to the standard task in the UWL configuration file then copy this ItemType and adjust it for you custom task. Please take a look at my last post in another thread : Re: UWL - how to approve purchase requisitions
If your task is 100% custom then you'll have to find out what is behind the Approve and Reject buttons in the Business Workflow and modify the UWL configuration file accordingly. For instance if a function module is used to approve or reject the request you can define your approve and reject actions using the FunctionModuleActionHandler. You can find more information in the documentation : [Task Launch Customization|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/36/dd4ad73c86412e81e9ce66eeb147e7/frameset.htm].

CCM 2.0 Approve and Reject buttons disabled

Hi!!!
We log into de CAT with the Catalog Approver User. And when we go to the Procurement Catalog, the approve and reject buttons are disabled.
The procurement Catalog has the status To Be Approved (we defined it in the spro), so the items that I mapped from the Supplier to the Mater and to the Master to the Procurement catalog have this status.
I loged in to the Procurement Catalog with the Catalog Manager and assigned the approver to the catalog (CCM_APROVER). And this user has the role of approver (we have double checked in the pfcg).
Any idea why the buttons are disabled?
THANKS IN ADVANCED!!!!

Advice for logical workflow for color correcting and color grading

I am an experienced user of PPRO CS5. I am a novice with color correcting and color grading. I am also just barely competant in AE CS5. It has been suggested that I use AE for color correcting my footage. Can you advise me as to the most logical workflow for doing this in coordination with PPRO CS5? Are there some tutorials that you recommend? I subscribe to Lynda.com and I think that they have some great tutorials, I am unsure as to where to begin looking and what to search for.
Thanks so much,
Lisa

You can do it that way, sure. But you don't have to. You can accomplish quite a lot without leaving PPro. This has two major advantages. First, if you aren't using AE for anything else, it gets you out of using AE at all, so gets you out of climbing another set of learning curves.
Second, even if you are using AE for other things (I use AE to make motion lower thirds, for example), doing the work in PPro can improve exporting speeds. This is because AE gets restricted to a single processor core in some workflows as discussed in this thread and others (search around if you're interested). This can make exporting take 3x as long or longer, depending on how much footage has to be processed by AE.
So, how to do color correction without leaving PPro? Use either a luma corrector or luma curve effect to set black and white points, and contrast (use a waveform monitor to help). Then use a three way color corrector effect to get rid of any residual color casts (use the vectorscope to help, and the RGB parade, etc.).
If you find you have specific colors that need to be fixed, you can apply another three way color correction effect and use it to make that secondary color correction (for example I find the blue dyes used in many labels tend to fluoresce under fluorescent lighting, and has to be desaturated with a secondary color correction or it "blooms" on an HDTV -- IOW, it has to be made "broadcast safe").
If you want tutorials for using these tools, the ones on Creative Cow by Andrew Devis are quite good, and free. The ones on color correction with PPro cs6 start at tutorial number 47. There's a bunch of them. All good.
Finally, get a copy of Van Hurkman's Color Correction Handbook. May be the best technical book I've ever read, and it'll certainly point you in the right direction for doing color correction work regardless of which tools you use to do it.

LR Approve and Reject buttons missing?

Hi,
We have recently customised standard LR workflow and we have replaced standard LR task (TS12300097, TS12300116) to custom task. We have updated UWL configuration file to add these 2 new task. We could successfully see the LR raised by ESS user in the MSS UWL task list but when we click on the task we could see the task details without APPROVE and REJECT buttons, these 2 buttons are missing.
We have made necessary changes in the SWFVISU tcode and Portal UWL XML configuration. Is there any other configuration need to be done to fix this issue(make APPROVE and REJECT button visible)?
NOTE: If we switch it back to standard task the buttons are visible it's invisible only when it's using new task.
Thanks
Praveen

Thanks Vivek.
I have resolve this issue, I found that in the UWL xml configuration I have configured task WebDynproApplication property incorrectly, it was pointing to LeaveRequest instead of LeaveRequestApprover. Changing this has fixed the problem.
Thanks anyway.
Closing this thread.
Praveen.

UWL Approve and Reject buttons not available in Portal 7.31?

Hi I've been doing some research and came across some interesting articles...

http://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=221611154
I am trying to enable the Approve and Reject buttons per customer requirements but having some issues making these options available in the UWL ...
Based on the articles above...
Does the UWL not support this ?
If it does, can anyone direct me on how to enable these ?
Thanks

After doing some research, it looks like the XML needs to be modified...
Can anyone confirm that the code is still relevant in 7.31?
