Workflow - Monotoring Approval

Hi,
I have a situation that, a user in SRM approved a "shooping cart" by email (which is   normal, only if they want to check all the items they can login in SRM). The question is..  is it possible to see in WF Log or, tr. SOST, etc, if this "shooping cart" was approved by email or directly in SRM?
Thanks 4 your help !

I would guess it is not possible, but by examining the workflow log (technical view of course) you are the person best enabled to find the answer - because you have access to the system.
You can check if the workflow step has more than one terminating event, then maybe one is used when approving directly from the e-mail and another when approving in SAP.
You can check if there is an approval code/status that is not merely approved/not approved, although I think there is slim chances for this.
I'm just throwing out ideas here and don't even have access to a SRM system, so you'll have to check it yourself.

  • Problem with custom sharepoint designer approval workflow - check box: 'Start this workflow to approve publishing a major version of an item' is greyed out

    I wanted to create a simple approval workflow. Hence I opted to start from scratch rather than copy the OOTB approval WF. Using SharePoint Designer (not Visual studio) I created a reusable workflow and have added the built in 'Start approval process' action.
    It's saved and published globally.
    Everything works fine except that when associating the WF with a list the 'Start this workflow to approve publishing a major version of an item' check box is disabled.
    Major and minor versioning is enabled for the library.
    What am I missing here? Or do I have to start from the OOTB approval WF to get this to work?
    Regards
    Henning

    Again - new ideas pop up right after defining the issue as a problem. :-) Problem solved!
    I solved this by creating a new workflow from the original publishing approval workflow (copy and replace), but instead of tweaking the already defined approval process (WF action) I deleted it, then deleted all initiation form and local variables,
    and then added the 'Start approval process' action again. This re-installs all the necessary local variables without any initiation form involvement, which is just what I want.
    From here I can tweak the workflow to make it more user friendly, much like
    described by Bobby Chiang in his great blog.
    Remember to add action Set Workflow Variable 'EnableContentApproval' to Yes right before the Start Approval Process action, else the document's status won't be set to 'Approved' or 'Rejected' as an output of the workflow.
    Learning every day!

  • Start this workflow to approve publishing a major version of an item is disabled in SharePoint Online

    Hi there,
    Despite turning on the require content approval for submitted items in the version setting.  Start this workflow to approve publishing a major version of an item is still disabled in the workflow settings.
    Anyone one know how to enable this option.

    Hi Wendy,
    I tried to copy and modify the Globally Reusable Workflow->Approval-SharePoint 2010 but the problem
    that I am facing is, I cant seems to find the Assign a task in the Actions list and also when I am setting the approver variable to a value, I am missing a column name( how can I get a column which is used in a list?).
    But “Start this workflow to approve publishing a major version” is enabled now using this workflow
    but saying that I am unable to complete the workflow due to the action and column missing. 
    Previously the work flow that I created was for a specific list.
    Is there any work around to this issue?
    Thanks
    Regards,
    Ravi

  • Sharepoint 2013 designer workflow auto approve task after due date is passed

    sharepoint 2013 designer workflow auto approve task after due date is passed.
    Could we approve the task automatically once due date is apssed?
    MCTS Sharepoint 2010, MCAD dotnet, MCPDEA, SharePoint Lead

    Hi Amit,
    If your task is created by a workflow (first) and stored in a separate task list, you can create another workflow on this particular task list, then each workflow instance would check if current task is expired (not approved/rejected), then
    determine if update current task's "Task Outcome" as approved (and update task status as complete), and then create a retention policy on this paricular task list to trigger the workflow on due date .

  • Is there a workflow for approval and Reversal of Regular Journal

    Hi All,
    Is there a workflow for approval and Reversal of Regular Journal .
    can we use  the standard park document workflow for the same .. ???
    Thanks ,

    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]

  • Workflow issues : - Approval of carts

    Shopping carts being raised and is being approved by user and by another approver.
    Rather then going any further this is just bouncing back and forth between the user and the approver.
    Any ideas?

    Hi
    <b>Please try this -></b>
    1) Check the conditions defined in that activated workflow (Txn: SWB_PROCUREMENT). Looks like the conditions defined here do not match with shopping cart data and hence SC could not find a workflow to be triggered.
    Suggest you to just give a condition like (&TotalValue& >=0) which covers all shopping carts.
    2) You may have only one start condition defined, but there is maybe an active workflow for the SC without start condition. Use transaction SWU0 to simulate the event "created" of object bus2121 and check there is only one workflow started. If you use only one condition, make an easier one like total value >= 0. Then refresh buffer with swu_obuf (not sure it is mandatory but safe).
    3) Also check the event linkages in txn SWE2 and SWETYPV
    4) The workflow without approval is defined in your start condition, so you should have the comment "start depends on a function module" or something like that. (I don't have any system now to check the message).
    The one with red dots: you shouldn't worry about this, probably message is activation link not active.
    The two other one (one and 2 steps), not sure if your error stands there, but to be sure check that activation link is not active (you can do this through customizing or with transaction pftc_chg).

  • User change attribute workflow with approval  problem

    Hello,
    I have a requirement to add account numbers to user entry through workflow with approval process. and also same user can have multiple account numbers. when approver approves the User request then it's account number will be added into the user entity in ldap.
    So, i have created a Change Attribute workflow for that account number with these steps as : initiate, Approval, Commit, Error_report
    this workflow i am able to invoke through IdentityXML call and from OIM interfaces approvers able to approve and that account number is persisting under the User entity.
    Problem is: Actually above request is staging system. when user requests, it is in initiate step, when approver approves the request then only commits the info. so, there are 2 stages here.
    When i am requesting two consecutive account number requests then both requests are in initial stage. Then approver approves the 1st request then it is persisting into User entity. after that approver approves the 2nd request then this account number is overwriting the previous one. so, here is the problem i am finding. worflow is not adding the new account number.. instead its replacing the last value in the list of account numbers for an User entity.
    I hope the above problem make understandable..
    Really its a very much helpful to find the solution on this.
    Thanks in advance,
    Srini.

    Thanks for the help. Having reinstalled OID/OAM a bunch of times to properly add our custom user object, nothing seems absurd. I tried running through your steps, but I'm still not getting the workflow button. I've customized create and delete workflows properly, but the change attribute is a mystery.
    I did the following:
    1) Selected a custom attribute in Attribute Access Control
    2) Changed its read access to Anyone
    3) Saved
    4) Changed its modify access to Anyone
    5) Saved
    6) Added a new Change Attribute workflow for the custom attribute
    7) Action #1: Request, added Anyone as participant and saved
    8) Action #2: External Action, selected attribute is the custom one
    9) Action #3: Commit
    10) Saved and enabled the workflow
    11) Restarted the Identity server
    12) Picked a user
    13) Opened his user profile
    14) Clicked Modify
    The custom attribute is still editable and has no Request a Change button.

  • "Start this workflow to approve publishing a major version of an item" in Project Site templates

    Hi
    I created a document library with the "Start this workflow to approve publishing a major version of an item" on, and saved the site as a template. However when I create instances using that project site template, the document library doesn't
    have the "Start this workflow to approve publishing a major version of an item" option on, like the site that was used for the template have.
    Is this option not possible to save on a project site template?
    Here are the steps I did:
    On a document library I set the versioning for major and minor version
    I create an “Publishing approval” workflow and set it to “Start this workflow to approve publishing on a major version”.
    But when I create a project instance of this type, the document library on the project site has the “Start this workflow to approve publishing on a major version” turned off.
    Thanks!
    Best regards

    Hi,
    I recommend to create a  WebProvisioned event receiver.
    We need to create an event handler and register it with the Web Provisioned event. In the event, we need to find the specific Library and set SPList.DefaultContentApprovalWorkflowId property.
    When the site is provisioned, the event handler is activated. Then the "Start this workflow to approve publishing a major version of an item" option will be checked.
    More information:
    SPWebEventReceiver.WebProvisioned method (Microsoft.SharePoint)

  • 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 to approve Material Master creation

    Dear all,
    I would like to create workflow to approve Material Master creation as below:
    When Material is created -> Check & Approval (Yes) -> Material is active
                           -> Check & Approval (No)   -> Material is inactive
    How can I do that?
    Could you pls help me to solve this?
    Thanks,
    CH

    Hi,
    Before designing the workflow, you need to find what is the business object and what is the event which gets triggered when material master is created... you can do that using event trace....
    1. SWELS - switch on trace
    2. Create material
    3. SWEL - check trace to find which event is fired
    This will give you business object name..
    Now start building workflow using SWDD... Go thru basic steps for designing workflow...

  • Workflow Self Approval

    Hi,
    We have developed a workflow to approve Travel & Expense statements. We have a requirement to
    stop self-approvals of the travel expenses.
    Right now self approvals are possible when the approver sets the intiator as the Substitute.
    Is there any way to stop self-approvals in this scenario?
    Regards,
    Bharath Mohan B

    What Kiran tells can be one option but I am not sure it will work or not. I think you can restrict this by Authorization ideally or setting up substitute using substitute profile and classification.

  • Issue in a custom workflow with Approval Type Notification. Urgent

    Hi
    I have created a custom workflow which contains an approval notification.
    If the user approves/rejects the notification I need to update a table column as Approved or Rejected.
    I have created a function activity,say X, which calls a PL/SQL procedure.
    The issue is,
    when the user approves or rejects the notification, the function X errors out even without entering the PL/SQL procedure.
    Following is the error message
    An Error occurred in the following Workflow.
    Item Type = XXYH_UMX
    Item Key = 55
    User Key =USERKEY:55
    Error Name = -6502
    Error Message = ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small
    Error Stack =
    Wf_Engine_Util.Function_Call(XXYH_UMX_WF_PKG.is_resp_assigned, XXYH_UMX, 55, 242407, RUN)
    Activity ID = 242407
    Activity Label = XXYH_UMX_ASSIGN_RESPONSIBILITY:XXYH_UMX_RESP_ASSIGNED
    Result Code = #EXCEPTION
    Notification ID =
    Assigned User =
    If I go the function from any other function,say Y, (bypassing approval notification) it works fine.
    Can you please help me what could be the issue?
    Thanks,
    Kamath.

    The danger in putting in one activity is that if there is any scope longer-term to expand the process to multiple activities, then it may be better to break it out into a sub-process early in the design phase.
    Generally, you get the feeling from the client fairly early on about whether they have a final design and how likely they are to complicate the process later on :)
    I wouldn't include it as a post notification function myself - it saves a tiny amount of processing time and database space, but at the cost of making it less clear what is happening. Plus you'd need to check the result in the PNF manually - putting it on a conditional branch ensures that you always know what the value is. If the lookup type changes at any stage, you would need to check a PNF to ensure that the code still remains valid; if it's on a branch then the only thing to change would be to change the label on the branch.

  • Process Controlled Workflow - PO approval badi implementaion missing

    Hi  ,
    We are working in Purchase Order approval Workflow  (WS40000014). This is the given scenario 
    After each approval, total dollar amount of purchase order will be compared with Approval limit of approver maintained in the Position in the SRM Org Structure.  If the spend limit of approver was less than total dollar amount of purchase order, workflow will route the purchase orders to next approver in the chain with higher Approval limit authority. Workflow will continue to route purchase order for approval, until an approver with Approval limit higher than total dollar amount of purchase order approves.
    In the help.sap.com\SRM , we found a badi implemenation "/SAPSRM/BD_WF_PO_RR_SL " will be used for this purpose .In our SRM system we cant find any implementation like this .  please help in solving this issue ...

    Hi,
    Go to SE19 transaction and find Enhancement Implementation /SAPSRM/BD_WF_AGENTS_PO. You see the BADI Implementation /SAPSRM/BD_WF_PO_RR_SL.
