Workflow on confirmation is not routed to goods-receipient

Hi Guys,
We are implementing the shop on behalf (shop for) functionality. all functions are working fine , but we face a problem at the workflow for confirmation on goods&services.
We ceate a SC with the Shop for functionality (user1 shops for user2) and we specify that the goods receipient is user1. The workflow (WS1040002) always goes to the requestor of the shopping cart (User2) for confirmation and not to the Goodsreceipient (user1) in the shopping cart.
Acording to the documentation the workflow should lead to confirmation by the goodsreceipient.
Can anaybody help me out ?
Or can anybody tell me where the agents for this worklflow are determined, or does anybody have experience with this flow and can point us to right solution.
Thanks
Hubert Dieleman

Hi,
Who created the confirmation in your case ? It depends on creator_type,
Go to SWO1 transaction, Business Object BUS2203, Attributes ApproverList.
Set the cursor at ApproverList, then select program button. Go dive the line
695    PERFORM select_table_bbp_pds_header USING lv_subrc.
298 * 1) SC requestor is approving a good receipt created by recipient or
299 *    vendor.
309 * 2) manager of the requestor is approving CF created by the requestor
315 * 3) manager of the requestor is approving CF created by recipient or
316 *    vendor ( 2nd approval step)
376 * The WFLCreatorType is other than 'Requestor' (i.e. Vendor, Profi). In
377 * this case the confirmation must be approved by a requestor of shopping
378 * cart. Take the approver name from the lt_approver.
385 * The WFLCreatorType is a 'Requestor'. In this case the confirmation
386 * must be approved by the orgunit manager of the requestor.

Workflow Process Manager - Could not route message to WfProcMgr with regist

Hi,
We recently started getting a strange error in our DEV environment:
Could not route message to WfProcMgr with registered key (null)
This is happening with the Server Component, Workflow Process Manager, and all services associated with this.
We are using Siebel v7.8.2.8. If anybody can provide any pointers, it would be of great help!
Thanks

Hi Trym,
Thanks for your time!
The target workflow that I am triggering from the WfProcMgr is a custom workflow and it does not have a BO defined. So, the Object Id should not be a mandatory field (I am in any case, not passing any Object Id). Nevertheless, whether I have an Object Id or I do not, I would assume that the Workflow would at least get triggered. I donot see as to why the Workflow would not trigger at all.
Though Siebel does act weird at times, I think the error I am getting is still somehow related to the actual cause! I would really like to understand as to where is this Registered Key stored in Siebel that it is continually searching for.
*When you say "Workflow Process Manager server component directly" do you mean like in a eScript
call in e.g. a Business Service?*
Please refer the second part of my previous post for this. I am trying through Server Requests BS and through Workflow Policies.
Thanks.

Workflow not routing to agent specified in partner profile

have included below notes regarding the mis-routing of workflow messages of "translation error" STATUS message idocs that are uploaded into R/3.
The testing that I have been performing has been in Development System. The first thing that I check is that the Partner profile parameters are set to send the STATUS message type idoc to an agent via t-code we20. This agent does exist in the organization structure found at t-code ppome. I have been using the logical system (partner type LS) user=GEIS, inbound parameter message type=STATUS, message variant=AP, where myself is setup as the agent to receive workflow.
When processing an inbound STATUS idoc containing an error code of "05", meaning that translation failed on the outbound corresponding idoc (e.g. invoice, desadv, etc.) in the EC subsystem, workflow should be triggered and route the message to the agent specified at the message type level of the partner profile. In the event that an agent is not configured at the message type level of the partner profile, then the workflow message should be routed to the agent specified at the partner profile global level. However, in the event that an agent is not specified at the message type level or partner profile global level, then the workflow message should be routed to the IDOC Administrator, which is configured in t-code we46.
The results of my testing has been that regardless of the agent configuration set at the message type level or partner profile global level, all workflow messages are routed to the IDOC Administrator configured in we46.
The request is to have development work completed so that error STATUS idocs can trigger workflow messages that will be routed to various agents for resolution, versus workflow messages being routed just to the IDOC Administrator - which is how it is working today.
I would greatly appreciate for your immediate response.

Shankar

Hi Stacey
If DEV is working and PRD is not have you gone through and compared both and ensure latest MSMP configuration in PRD has been activated?
Also, is the approver COCHGG00 also the Role Owner?
Are you able to show you MSMP configuration? It's makes sense to analyse the log in the context of your configuration. E.g. does the Z_ADDTNL_ACCESS_PATH path have two stages: Manager and Role Owner of which there is a routing rule on the Manager approval to go to the NO_ROLE_OWNER path where the business role has no role owner?

GRC AC 10 SP13 - workflow not routing to multiple role owners

hello
We are experiencing issues in our production MSMP workflow where an access request with multiple business roles are not being routed to role owners after manager approval. The request contains four business roles. Three business roles have three different role owners. The fourth business role does not have a role owner assigned. After the manager approves the request, the business role without a role owner does not provision. The other three business roles do not route to their respective role owners. We have tested the same scenario in our development environment and it routes properly. I have validated our MSMP workflow settings in production and validated it was activated. I have also checked the instance monitor via GRFNMW_DBGMONITOR_WD and it does not give an indication why the request isn't routing.
Any ideas why we are seeing this? Below is a screen shot of the audit log.

Confirmation - workflow approval agent change not reflected in BI Report

Hi Experts,
We have implemented SRM 5.0 and have enabled confirmations for POs and this is a classic scenario.
When a original approver for the confirmation approval workflow was subsititued by an another user, this information is not part of the BI reports. when I checked the document, there was no change document initiated due to the agent change in the workflow. Due to this the delta upload process for BI, is not uploading this information to the BI system for reporting.
If I run the full or regenerative mode, then the data is getting populated into the BI system. But I would like the delta process to pick it up.
1. please let me know how to enable the change document for a confirmation, even when the agent is changed in the workflow.
2. or if delta process to capture the agent changes within the workflow for confirmation.
Your help is much appreciated.

Reg:Confirmation should not happen without issuing goods.

Hi Friends.
We have an issue regarding goods movement.
I need to know, is there any setting can be made for the below issue.
1. how to make settings that confirmation of production order or any goods movement( Of finished good) , should not be done untill and unless goods issue has been done for the order,.
EX: After releasing the order , we have to issue goods for productionn. then only we can do confirmation.
But we are facing the issue that without issuing the goods also, we are able to confirm. so i need to stop the confirmation or any goods movement which will happen without issuing the goods,,
Waiting for your positive answers,,thank u in advace.

Dear
You can try the following user exit in your case : Enhancement - MBCF0002 /FM - EXIT_SAPMM07M_001/Include - ZXMBCU02
Or T.code OPK4. Set termination of Order confirmation in case of wrong Goods movement.
- Use User Status .T.code is BS02.
Refer : GR restrict before Confirmation & Confirmation restrict before GI

Central Confirmation (Goods receipient) in SRM 7.0

Hi
We are in Standalone Scenario and Upgrading from SRM 4.0 to SRM 7.0.
We want to use the Central Confirmation scenario where for one region (Based on countries) in Org structure we have One Central Goods receipient.
I have assigned the role /SAPSRM/RECIPIENT to the person. In the Requisitioner attribute I have added the names for which the Goods Receipient can do the confirmation. the Portal roles are also properly assigned to the user. he can see the POWL and Create Confirmation option in Portal.
I have created a SC and converted the same to PO. I wanted to do the Central Confirmation now. I try to search the PO in POWL query but it doesn't display any result. I also try to create confirmation using Create Confirmation option but there also I get "No documents matching the selection criteria".
Wanted to understand if there are any other settings that I might be missing. As a Central Receipient, why am I not seeing the Purchase Order for which I need to do the confirmation.
Thamks in advance.
Regards
Raj

Hi Raj,
The requester attribute is used for Shop on Behalf functionality. This makes creating shoppingcarts and confirmations available for employees. Therefore i believe that the configuration of this attribute in your central recipient scenario is obsolete.
I think that you havn't configured the SYS attribute in your organizational schema. This attribute tells the system where to look for your inv/confirmation documents. Include all systems here, in your case: Add your local SAP SRM logical system name. This should resolve your problems.
Ps. Also try giving a (couple) of parameters when searching for your PO document from the central recipient transaction, this helps (speed up) searching for a reference document.
Kind regards,
Tim

Confirmation Link in SRM to Goods Recipt Link in R/3

Hi All-
We are on SRM 5.0, Classic scenario. Currently, we have problems with the Confirmation extract from SRM, so we want to implement a change, where we only use the GR Extract from R/3, but we still want to include the SRM Confirmation Number. In order to do this, we have two approaches we can take:
1) Do a call from R/3 to SRM to get it (but we need to know how they are linked, and I am told that the link is from SRM to R/3)
2) Change the Conf to R/3 process to pass the Conf number from SRM to R/3
<b>Question:
1.) How are the confirmation number in SRM and Goods Receipt number in R/3 linked?
2.) How does the information of a Goods receipt in R/3 brought back to SRM? (I know the BBP_GET_STATUS_2 Job does it, but i am trying to understand what tables this complete link of S/C->PR->PO->Conf->GR->INv are stored in?</b>
Any ideas would be appreciated !
Sundeep

Hi
1) Please see the following SAP OSS Notes ...
Note 720819
Note 309734
Also Check SRM tables BBP_PDBEH (header) and BBP_PD_BEI (item). Also go through the golden transaction in SRM - BBP_PD.
You can find these values using transaction BBP_PD for object type BUS2203 (confirmations).
2) SRM related tables involved are ... as follows..
Using SRM function modules -
BBP_PD_CONF_GETDETAIL
BBP_PD_CONF_GETLIST

Receiving Services as Materials in order not to perform goods receipt

I am on a project that is implementing SRM in May. The company has decided to upload 15 Vendors for Services and to perform the goods receipts in order to achieve a 3 way match. One of the Vendors (Huge Spend) will not get a goods receipt performed as no one wants to perform the goods receipt (this was just decided yesterday). We will create the shopping cart and SRM PO and pay the invoices in R/3. In order to do this we have to enter the shopping cart as a material in order not to have a goods receipt performed in SRM (as I am told). Has anyone ever experienced this? Is there any problems that we, as a company, may not be aware of Is there someone out there that has experienced this or close to this? Please advise. Thanks

Dear Kimberly
In SRM every implementation requires a backend systems and in any of the Technical scenarios goods receipt can be done in any of the system either in SRM or in R/3.
However we can resrrict the goods receipts not done in SRM by modifying the role in PFCG and remove Confirmation of goods/servies from the role.
This will force the users to do goods receitps in R/3 systems only.
The Leading Po can be created in any of system either in SRM or in R/3.

Delete button not available for goods receipt when PO has GR-Based IV set

Hi ll,
the delete button for confirmations is greyed out when the PO has the GR-Based IV set, the return delivery button however is available.
There are several goods receipt on the PO some of which have linked invoices but the goods receipt I want to cancel is not linked to an invoice.
I've checked the backend config and it's the same for movement types 102 and 122. Also I can manually post a 102 in the backend.
For PO's without GR-Based IV both the delete and return delivery buttons are available.
Does anyone have any ideas? We are on SRM 4.0.
Cheers
Chris

Hi,
thanks for the response but I don't think this situation is related to backend settings as I can perform a 102 and a 122 against the same PO l;ine directly in R/3.
This appears to be an SRM "feature".
To claifry the situation
PO flagged as GR-Based IV
Purchase Order line has several goods receipts and several invoice receipts matched.
Tryning to cancel a confirmation in SRM for a goods receipt without a matched invoice receipt.
"Delete" button is not available but "Return Delivery" button is available.
In R/3 backend I can post a 102 (delete) or a 122 (return) without any issues.
Config settings are the same for 102 and 122 in the R/3 backend.
Any one any ideas?
Cheers
Chris

WRT120N wireless nodes not routed to WAN, Multicast not working

Hi. Since a few weeks, I am experiencing strange and very annoying problems with my WRT120N. I have a DSL connection at home and the router connects to that via PPPoE. The LAN consists of one wired node and several wireless nodes. I have a G/N mixed setup because I also have G-only nodes (older laptop, mobile phone).
Every few minutes, my wireless nodes are not routed to the WAN anymore. Weird thing is: they can still connect to the wired node on the LAN so bridging seems to work fine. They can also connect to the router itself and the router says it is connected to the WAN. I can confirm this WAN connection because the wired node is being routed to the internet all the time. Restarting the router solves the problem. Actually, even if just disabling/enabling the wireless connection on my nodes solves it. However after a few minutes, sometimes seconds, routing stops working again (It happened twice during the writing of this email).
Another thing that is really bugging me is that multicast seems to get filtered. After a few minutes, no multicast message is being sent to the wireless nodes. Multicast packets sent by the wireless nodes do arrive at the wired node but any answer is being filtered on the router.
I have changed pretty much every possible setting that could be connected to the issue but no improvement (e.g. filtering multicast in the firewall). I used to be on 1.0.0.4 and hoped that upgrading to 1.0.0.5 would help but it didn't. I also checked this forum for solutions but found none that is working for me. This way, the router is pretty much useless for wireless clients as after an arbitrary but pretty short time interval they can only connect to the LAN and no Multicast service discovery/media streaming is possible. I really need help on these issues.

Hi Brickmonkey,
thanks a lot for your answer. I did the changes you advised. In fact, here's in detail what I did:
Router reset as described.
Changed the following configuration options:
PPPoE + Credentials
Local IP
MAC-IP Bindings for DHCP
Time Zone
DynDNS
Wireless Mode -> Mixed
SSID
Channel Width -> Auto
Wireless Security -> Enabled
Encryption AES
Passphrase
Port Forwarding for SSH,HTTPS
Router Password
Changed the options beacon interval, RTS threshold, fragmentation threshold and MTU as advised.
Router power cycled.
Routing and multicast are running since 5 minutes. Let's see if it lasts.
Answering your question: I do have one wired machine directly connected to the internal switch at the WRT120N. That's the one the ports are forwarded to. It has a static IP outside the DHCP range and is actually my DHCP,DNS etc server - however DHCP is disabled at the moment. All my other machines are wireless clients with G or N connectivity.
Can you explain the reason behind your proposed configuration changes?

How to make buyer confirm he recieved the promised goods?

Hello, i recently sold some virtual goods to a buyer, he sent me the money and i send him the promised goods. His account is verified and 6 years old, but i have the suspicion something might be wrong. Today he contacted me again in order to proceed to a second transaction. I want to know if there is anyway to protect myself by just asking him to confirm tha he recieved the promised goods inside paypal. For example if i ask him to send me an email from his paypal account that confirms he got the sent goods, would that provide me with some solid clues if he ever decides to claim he hasn't recieved? Is there anotherway to protect myself? All I have now is our skype conversation that confirms it, but his skype account is on a different email. Thank you all in advance.

Only method i can think of is transfering the recieved payment to a friend's paypal account, so that mine has no money in it to be disputed. This way i can secure myself? They can still dispute and under buyer protection if you don't pay them back paypal will.BUT they will then limit your account and put it into negative balance until you pay them back again.If you don't pay them back then they sell the "debt" on to a debt recovery agency. And one last question, if i don't 100% trust a buyer, should I tell him to choose the "family and friends" option instead of goods? You are not allowed to sell and ask the buyer to use the gift option to pay you. If you do paypal may well find out and again limit your account. Sorry everything I seem to say is bad news, but to be honest its very risky selling your types of item and using paypal.Personally i would ask for direct bank transfer instead but your buyers may be wary of paying that way. ***************************************** I give up my time to help you so a thank you or kudos would be cool.
Marking one of my replies as a solution would be appreciated if I sorted your problem.

PO confirmation XML not created

Good day
We are experiencing some issues with our PO confirmations. When I say confirmations it is not the SES or GRN. In our system we create a SC in SRM this then gets approved in SRM and then a PO is created in the ECC backend. The XML is passed from SRM to ECC and the PO is then created. After the PO is created a new XML using a new interface is generated and sent back to SRM to update the SC with the PO number. Now on the majority of our orders this confirmation of PO creating is sent back to SRM and we can view the XML in sxmb_moni. But we have a few where the XML is just never created in ECC. The PO gets created successfully but the PO creation confirmation is not created. We search in SXMB_MONI and there is no XML created.
What could cause this issue and is there some further investigating we can do or a note to implement. I have investigated as far as I can, there is nothing common among the PO's that did not created the confirmation back to SRM. There is a mix of services, there is a mix of vendors and a mix of purchasing groups. There is no common value amongst the orders. Because of this we cannot replicate the issue so we cannot debug, it appears extremely random and the issues are spread out across days.
Thanks much appreciated

oh ok now I guess I get it ..you mean for those in cases where XML is not being sent back due to see the PO number updated in the SC ?
1.Check if there are entries in BBP_DOCUMENT _TAB table ..
2. Check the note 1676004 - ECC Purchase Order is not updated in the history of the SRM documents
3. Check if the jobs BBP-GET_STATUS2 & Clean_reqreq_up are up and running consistently ..
You might as well have to use the debugging process to check incase you are able to replicate in dev or quality..
Also is the SC status Follow on Doc created or something else like error in transmission or Item in transfer
