Workflow in SAP Sourcing

Dear All,
Please let me know the process for creating one step approval workflow for RFx in SAP Sourcing.
Do we need a Java help to be able to design the workflow.
Please let me know th estep by step details It woul be really very helpful for me.
Thanks,
Venky

Hi
Like Devesh and Shobha have suggested, you need to add approver as a collaboraor for RFx approval to take place.
From what I can understand from your post is you do not want your buyer to add approver to an Rfx manually at ther beggining of every Rfx cycle. This condition can be taken care of with help of RFx templates.
You can create different tenplates with fixed approver such that when buyers use these templates to create Rfx, approver is already added and no manual intervention is required.
In case no approver is specified, Rfx can directly be opened to supplier by buyer/ owner of the Rfx

  • Create SAP Source System Failed

    Hi all,
    We are using NetWeaver 2004s BI and try to connect to ECC 5.0. I tried to create SAP source system but got error message saying "RFC user logon failed". When I check RFC destination in ECC 5.0 for BI, the test connection is ok, but the remote logon will pop up another logon screen asking for id and password. I am pretty sure that the id and password in RFC destination is correct. The RFC destination in BI is ok. Can you help me out with this? Thanks a lot in advance.

    Hi,
    Check the Default Logon <b>Client</b> for ECC 5.0
    and verifiy that the User is in the Same Client
    Each RFC destination has a mapped user for specific Client..Check the Client and User in the same client
    regards

  • Data Reconciliation Node on SAP Source System

    Hi Gurus,
    I'm working on Data Reconciliation between SAP BI and SAP R3 systems.  I've read on the forum that the reconciliation DataSource technology is available as of PI-BASIS 2005.1 / SAP NetWeaver 2004s.  I'm using
    SW Comp     Release             Level     Highest Support     Desc
    PI_BASIS      2005_1_640      0017      SAPKIPYJ6H         Basis Plug-In (PI_BASIS) 2005_1_640
    I wonder that I cannot see the Data Reconciliation Node in the transaction RSA6 in the SAP Source System.  Please throw some light on this whether I need to activate them.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Ash.

    Hi Sunny,
    Thanks for your response.  Can you suggest me what should I do to get those DataSources?  Are there any patches that SAP has released to overcome this problem for lower versions as the one which I'm using?
    Thanks,
    Ash.

  • SAP Sourcing 7.0 integration with SAP ERP - issue with SAP PI

    Hi All,
    We are integrating SAP Sourcing 7.0 with SAP ERP 6.0 with SAP PI 7.1 in middle. So the Sourcing will talk to PI and this intern will talk to ERP. Sourcing is on oracle 11g where as PI and ERP are on SQL 2008. All these 3 are on windows 2003 x64.
    We are following the "Configuration Guide Integration of SAP ERP and SAP Sourcing 7.0" provided by SAP.
    We have successfully configured Sourcing and PI systems as pe the document. In Sourcing, by using background jobs we are able to successfully generate files in "export" folder which is part of FTP directory.
    However the issue is with PI, we configured the "configuration scenerio" in Integration builder and point all channels to the FTP folder in Sourcing. But PI is not picking up these files.
    Is there any way to trigger this in PI system. Or do we need to do anything in sourcing itself.
    Regards,
    Siva.

    Hello Siva,
    I am thinking that you may need to deploy FTP adapter in PI to get this process work fine but not sure.
    Let's see what other experts suggest.
    Thanks,

  • Error when activate a SAP source system

    Hello Experts,
    I have an issue when I try to create a new SAP source system but I cannot complete this operation because a Timeout error occurs when the system made the destiny verification, the source system can be created but not activated, I already create the RFC connection and they are OK, I add the new logical system of the source system in the configuration (SBIW) in the general settings,and the data source tree is show succesfully and sems to work OK and the data sources seems to be OK too.
    In the RSA1 transaction, go to source systems tree, choose the SAP source system called: "conexion a dev 200" -> right click and choose activate and the error occurs.
    I have a Myself source system already created and activated, I cannot find the source of the problems thata cause the timeout error in the new source system.
    Thank you vey much in advance,
    Niurka

    Yes, I try ti use the create automatically option first but it doesn't work, because says that we system already exists because here exist a myself source system with an RFC to R/# ( I don't know why), so I must use the manually creation option, I put the logical system, and all the requeriments of the screem. The system create the source system but when I try ti activate it, it is impossible to do it....!
    I hope that you can give some tips or solution for this issue,
    Thanks!

  • SAP Source System showing up as BI Source System in RSA1

    I have 2 BW systems and 2 CRM Systems.  In one BW system, when I create a SAP Source system in RSA1, It gets listed as a SAP Sources system along with ECC and all the rest.
    The Logicial Systems and RFC Connections all appear to be the same between each pair.
    In the other system, using identical procedure, it the source system gets listed as a BI Source System.  The 2 CRM systems have identical components and version levels as do the 2 BW systems.
    Any idea why and if this would make any difference and how to correct.

    Hi,
    To fix this, you need to do a restore (& not a delete) of the source system in BW, having deleted the RSBASIDOC entry in the source OLTP system.
    This will force the BW system to interrogate the RSBASIDOC table entry in the source system again and it should then realise that it is an R/3 system (not a BW system) and move the entry to the SAP folder.

  • Message "Creation of DataSources for SAP source system is not permitted"

    Hi,
    I am in DW Workbench: Modeling and I need to copy a DataSource.
    It's impossible, beacause I have this Message "Creation of DataSources for SAP source system is not permitted"!
    What can I do?
    Thks

    Hii.
    You can not copy the standard datasource to any other source system it will not allow you to do that.
    But if you want to copy you can copy it to PC FILE source system.
    It will allow you to copy there.
    Right click in Datasource->Copy-> Give Target datasource name -
    > intarget Source system tab -
    >Give Source system for File.
    Thanks

  • Approver not determined process controlled workflow in SAP SRM 7.0

    Hello all,
    I have setup process controlled workflow in SAP SRM 7.0 EHP3 for shopping cart approval.
    I have 4 approval levels.
    I have used item-based Decision for entire document because for some items i want system approval.
    In implementation of BADI /SAPSRM/BD_WF_RESP_RESOLVER, in the method /SAPSRM/IF_EX_WF_RESP_RESOLVER~GET_AREA_TO_ITEM_MAP, i am skipping the items for which i want system approval.
    Also in method /SAPSRM/IF_EX_WF_RESP_RESOLVER~GET_APPROVERS_BY_AREA_GUID of BADI implementation class, i am keeping the approver table empty for the step which i want system approval.
    For example i have 1 item in shopping cart and for 1st step, based on some accouting criteria, i want system approval for 1st level and the workitem should go directly to 2 approval step when shopping cart is ordered. This is not happening.
    But if i have multiple items, and one item should have system approval based on some criteria and the 1st approval level should be system approval and other item should go to the 1st approver. This is happening and showing 'system' approver for item1 and 'appr_xyz' for item 2.
    For shopping cart having only 1 item, If i approve the shopping cart in this state only, it doesn't go to any approver and is not usable.
    am i missing anything in BADI /SAPSRM/BD_WF_RESP_RESOLVER??
    Please let me know.
    Regards,
    Yayati Ekbote

    Hi Adrian,
    Yes it is possible to display custom workflows in the Universal Worklist,  However, I am not sure what you are trying to do with a routing table.  If the workitems are of type decision, you can use UserDecisionHandler (action handler) configured in the XML file to use the Approve/Reject functionality - we are talking about webflow connector here correct?  R/3 connector?

  • FM or include that triggers Workflow in sap SRM 5.0.

    Hi All,
    Can anyone tell me the FM, for triggering a workflow in SAP SRM 5.0. I mean the name of the program or Include or an FM which finally triggers workflow while saving?
    Thanks,
    Edited by: Manoj Singh on Oct 6, 2011 6:51 PM

    Hi Gaurav,
    Thanks for responding. Yes, all the backend config are in place since I am able to successfully run an equivalent RFC (BBP_PD_SC_GETLIST) and another RFC named BBP_PD_SC_GETDETAIL from SE37. The problem seems to be something very specific to the ES. May I request you to run this ES at your end (if possible) and let me know the result possibly with the input and output message similar to the one I pasted in the origincal question.
    Thanks in advance,

  • Appraisal Workflow in SAP R/3

    My clients me show them a Appraisal Workflow in SAP R/3 by using four User id's just for testing purpose. Is it possible. If yes, then how to do it. Can anyone explain me detail.
    In my client place, workflow is:
    Appraisee->Appraiser->Reviewer->HR
    Samriddhi

    Workflows are important in performance management. You set the workflow's in the status tab. There you set the target status / sub-status and the workflow to be used (appraiser or appraisee).
    The four id's, identify who will be the appraiser, part-appraiser and appraisee. Set the security / authorization's accordingly.
    Use phap_start_bsp, and use the bsp's to log in.
    Good luck

  • Mdm workflow through sap r/3

    hello experts
    I have a scenario to trigger a workflow in SAP R/3 from MDM
    Objects need to be created in SAP for this
    I found this in a pdf file
    "A pre-requisite for connecting SAP Business Workflow to MDM is to build a BOR Object which represents the products in MDM. But how does this BOR Object really communicate with MDM?
    Using MDM ABAP API – Creating an ABAP code which communicates with MDM via MDM ABAP API (available as of MDM 5.5 SP3). Using the ABAP API directly from the Workflow environment simplifies integration between SAP Business Workflow and MDM, but makes integration to other systems more difficult as ABAP is not the greatest environment with regards to openness."
    How do I go about it ? Where is this API and how do I use it ?

    this is the link to the pdf

  • SAP Source system creation in BI

    Hi Gurus,
    I am trying to create SAP source system in BI,  The trying to create ALE REMOTE user in both systems.
    What roles and profiles i need to assign to this user id. After creating user ids what steps i need to follow. Thanks.
    Best Regards,
    Suresh.

    Hi,
    To Create SAP Source System In BI:
    -Click on Source System tab in RSA1.
    -Then right click on the heading Source system and select Create.
    -Select the first option Automatic. Create SAP System and continue filling the other details.
    -This will create Source system automatically.
    When you enter background user's password, sap system user name is modifiable, but the the BI user.
    The background user of BI system, is defined in
    RSA1 => Settings => Global Settings
    <b>BW User ALE</b> field will have the name of the background user in BI.
    If you are using ALEREMOTE as background user, make sure the same is maintained as BW User ALE.
