Workflow OTL timesheets to project mgr for approval

is there any easy way to configure the otl timesheet workflow to go to the project managers of the projects worked on instead of the hr supervisor??
also if a worker has a timesheet to multiple projects with a different proeject manager on each project???

We resolved this. The solution was as follows:
Go to PWA Settings, and under Security choose Manage Groups.
Click the Team Members group.
Scroll to the Categories section, and in the Selected Categories area highlight (select)
My Tasks.
Click the box to allow the permission called Adjust Timesheet which is under the grouping for Resource.
Now don't ask me how or why that works. It's not a setting that intuitively matches what's going on. But it fixed it for us.
By the way, we had a number of other timesheet issues (view failures, etc.) that were all cleared up when we installed the April 2014 Cumulative Update for Project Server 2013, as well as SharePoint 2013 SP1. I highly recommend both.

Project Server 2013 timesheets not showing up for approval

We're using Project Server 2013 and entering timesheets. I'm a team manager who is set up as the timesheet approver for a few people, including Nicole.
Nicole opens her timesheet and fills it in for the week. She applies time to four Administrative tasks and two project tasks.
Nicole submits her final timesheet for approval. (We have also tried having her save it first, then to the final submission, with the same results.)
I go to my approval screen and see the four Administrative tasks listed as separate lines. I do not see the project tasks.
I select the four Administrative tasks and approve them. They disappear when the screen is submitted.
In previous weeks, and with some other employees, I would immediately see a single line item that said "My Timesheet" for Nicole which I could then approve. But recently this stopped, and I do not see her timesheet.
If Nicole checks the status of the timesheet it says it's submitted to me.
On my Approval page if I go to History, Timesheets this timesheet is not listed under "approved by me" nor is it under "my resources unsubmitted timesheets." It's in limbo.
The only fix is for Nicole to recall the timesheet and resubmit it. Then it shows up on my Approval page.
Any suggestions?

We're having trouble downloading also, but may finally have succeeded, just by trying over and over. Hard to tell. I'm at 22% of the download now.
Details:
I tried downloading JDeveloper 9i from the Web site but got an error. Is there a broken link at your Web site?
Details:
From: http://www.oracle.com/ip/develop/ids/
I clicked on:
"Only $995, or download free":
which took me to:
http://www.oracle.com/go/?&Src=1284591&Act=21
where I was properly recognized as:
Fred Stluka
because I had already logged in to OTN during that browser session.
Then I clicked on:
"FREE Oracle9i JDeveloper Software"
which took me to:
http://www.oracle.com/go/?&Src=1284591&Act=21&spv0=THX
Then I clicked on:
"Download Oracle9i JDeveloper"
which took me to:
http://otn.oracle.com/software/products/jdev/htdocs/soft.html
I checked the 5 boxes in the "ELIGIBILITY EXPORT RESTRICTIONS" section and clicked:
"I Accept"
which took me to:
http://otn.oracle.com/software/products/jdev/htdocs/soft.html
I clicked on:
"jdev9i_902.zip"
which tried to take me to:
http://download.oracle.com/otn/java/jdeveloper/jdev9i_902.zip
But this reported the classic IE error message:
"The page cannot be displayed
Cannot find server or DNS Error"
This is an intermittent problem. It failed many times in a row for me, but eventually succeeded.

Workflow doesn't determine WBS owner for SC with Combination of CC & WBS

Dear Friends,
We had an issue in SRM 7.0 workflow that workflow is not determining Project Manager as approver for the SC created with combination of cost center and WBS element, instead Worklfow is triggering to CC Manager for WBS line item. If SC created with single item with WBS element then it is fine. The workflow problem comes when the SC created with combination of CC & WBS only.
Can anobody throw some light on the issue.
Regards,
Kumar

Hi
Check if workflow is at all getting activated for this SC using SWI6.
If you are using Process controlled workflow, check SLG1 logs for evaluations of your bRF expressions whether the schema and process level are getting activated or not....
One more thing, check whether Object Type LInkage is active or not in SWE2

Project Server 2013 - Approved Tasks not applied to Project Schedule

Environment Details: Microsoft Project Server 2013 SP1
When an Resource completes a tasks within the Task or Timesheet page at the end of each day, the tasks is routed to the Project Owner for approval. The Project Owner (Project Manager) approves the task. During this process no errors are displayed.
When the Project Owner (Project Manager) goes into the Project Professional 2013 client to view how the project is progressing, and update the project completion date, the updates is not applied to the project.
This worked for some time, but has recently stopped working with no changes made to the environment. Any help would be great, as our project manager's are manually updating the tasks prior to approving them so they can report back on the project each week.

Hello ProjMgrMatt
Sounds pretty serious, but I think something is missing somewhere.
Make sure that the Status Manager field is the same as the Project Owner.
Check to queue to be sure that nothing is stuck and waiting.
Create a new project, publish, submit, approve, etc and see if it still happens.
Cheers!.

Email notification for approval sent to all managers

Hi everybody,
an astonishing process occurs in the workflow, a shopping cart was sent for approval, waiting for the manager linked to the requester in organizational structure to receive an email notification for approval,
unfortunately , in certain case the email is sent to all managers even if we did a control in the badi concerning the workflow according to their role and flag is_manager in the structure.
Is there anyway to check the flow and try to debug it to understand the way the workflow build this email notification and furthermore how the managers are selected?
I already passes through the FM RH_GET_ACTORS, I had a look on the report RBBP_OFFLINE_EVAL.
Thank you in advance for your suggestions.
Best regards Mahmoud

Hi Manoj,
I check this note today but it 'sounds' good.
There are two other notes which are interesting adding to the previews one: 764068 and 636540.
Thank you very much for your reply.

How to view all approved timesheets in Project 2013

Hi!
How can I view all the approved timesheets in Project 2013? Do I need to build a report or is there a way to do this OOTB?
Thanks!
Best regards

Hi Pedro,
You'll have to build a report for that. I'd suggest to start from one of the Excel Services sample report based on the timesheet OLAP cube. You'll easily be able to create a pivot table with timesheet per status, users, projects, periods, managers...
SSRS is another path which requires development.
Hope this helps,

Workflow in Solution Manager for approval and notification

hi@ll
i want to know if there is a function or customizing feature for implmenting these two kinds of workflows in the solman:
-for notification: if the status value of a document in the SOLAR01/02 will change, can automatocalliy be sent an email?
-for approval: ChaRM?
thank you
Marco

Hi Marco,
In answer to the first question, for SOLAR01/02, no standard setting is available. It's got to be custom built, if the project budget allows
As of SolMan 7.0 Enterprise Edition, it seems there are some preconfigured Workflows.
I am hopeful that they are talking of what you seem to want. Please check page 9 of 14 of [this|https://websmp208.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700000225832008E.pdf] document.
If your client is on 'SAP Enterprise Support', you are entitled to get SolMan Enterprise Edition !

PWA : Timesheet Manager list not available when submitting TS for Approval

I've set the Timesheet Managers users in PWA settings and unchecked ‘Fixed
Approval Routing’.
On
submitting the TS for approval in the sending request the control to choose the TS manager approver
is missing... as there was a fixed route, but it's not the case.

Hi,
Please refer to this
article.
When you uncheck the fixed approval routing, while submitting a timesheet, Project Server will popup the list of predefined timesheet managers so the user can choose who will be approving his timesheet.
If you check the option, then Project Server will send the timesheet for approval to the timesheet manager of the user (as it used to be in PS2010).
Hope this helps,

Timesheet pending for approval

Hello Guys,
I have a scenario wherein time entered will go either to Project Manager (Person responsible in WBS) or to Supervisor maintained in HR for approval.
A person is assigned to an activity and he will book time against that activity and release for approval. It will go to either Project manager assigned in WBS element or if person responsible is not maintained in WBS element, it will go to Supervisor assigned in HR master data for approval.
My question is, in which report/transaction I can see the time is pending with whom, Project Manger or Supervisor.
Deepak

Thanks Sanjeev.
I checked in CAC1, where I have see if user profile is enabled for this approval process?
I have checked both CADO and CATS_DA reports.
I think I am failing in telling my requirement, I want see with whom the time is pending with (User ID, Salary Code etc...) for approval. Is there any report?
I can see the status of time sheet on both above reports but these reports does not show with whom these timesheet are pending for approval.
Deepak

Timesheet keeps loading when saved or sent for approval

Of late we are having issue with users while trying to save timesheet and send timesheet for approval. On selecting these buttons the timesheet keeps on showing 'loading' message and when user clicks on any other link in PWA page a pop-up comes up 'You are
naviating away from this page, your changes will be lost'.
Most the users facing this issue are either using IE 9 or IE 10 and for some users changing Browser mode to IE 9 in F12 Developer Tools worked but some users responded back saying issue still persists. But for the same users timesheet save and submit timesheet
worked fine in Mozilla and Chrome browsers. Cache issue might not be present in IE as this issue happened even after clearing browser cache in IE.
The similar is issue was faced by some PMs accessing Project Center. Also there is no entry for this behavior in ULS logs.
Environment is Project Server 2010 SP2.

For users in IE10 can you add the PWA site in Compatibility View and then Check.
Go to Tools in IE > Compatibility View Settings. Add the Site.
Cheers! Happy troubleshooting !!! Dinesh S. Rai - MSFT Enterprise Project Management

Goods confirmation workflow is awaiting for approval

Hi Gurus,
while confirm the goods/service when try to check the document i am getting a message as the document is free from errors but when i click on confirm the history is showing as " waiting for approval" but when i go to item details and click on approval button it is showing as "error in process".
Has anybody experienced this type of problem?.
Thanks,
mahesh

Hello Mahesh,
You can verify the status of the Confirmation document through BBP_PD transaction.
The confirmation status if the Awaiting approval should not yet checked.
hence please check the status of the workflow related to the same confirmation in swi6 TRANSACTION.
Try to complete the Workflow manually if the workflo is stucked.
Then verify the status of the docment
let me know if u have any difficulties in the above.

Calling the Adobe form in a workflow step for Approval

Hi All,
We are creating a PCR scenario using Adobe forms for "Employee seperation". This form will require 7 subsequent approvals from various agents which is to be handled using a workflow.
I had gone through the ISR cookbook and managed to create a scenario. I have also assigned it to a PDF form and a dummy workflow. Now from my PCR iview i am able to submit the form for my scenario which also triggers the dummy workflow(through the BUS7051-CREATED event).
Right now this dummy workflow just sends a mail(by sendmail step) to the first approver. Now i want this workflow to send a workitem to the first approver for approval of this form which will have to appear in his UWL. When the approver double clicks on the workitem in UWL he should be able to view the form along with Approve/Reject/Cancel buttons. I am not aware how to do this. My questions are,
Is this handled by a decision step or an activity?
If it is an activity step which Task/Business object method is used to handle this?
If it is a decision step how do we make the Adobe form also to be displayed along with approve/Reject buttons?
We are using ECC5.0 and EP6.0.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Calling Adobe form in a Workflow Step for approval

Hello,
There are some ISR forms and workflows in MSS which use Workflow tasks configured as JavaWebDynpro to call Adobe form from the Workflow Step.
Is it possible to achieve the same using ABAP Web Dynpro and creating a new task and configuring to use it as an ABAP Web Dynpro (which can in turn call the Adobe form from the WD)?
Thanks.

Hi Anjali,
1)You can develop an RFC that collects required basic data from R/3 and display them in ABAP WD - Adobe Form. The End user can change/fill the remaining contents of the Adobe Form and submits it for approval. The RFC again handles the triggering part of the Workflow and passes the form data to the workflow containers.And for approvals, you can use the SWFVISU to call a ABAP WD application from Workflow. And in turn the control again goes back to RFC and so...
2)I dont have much idea in ECC 60 if there is a similar ABAP WD application like Standard Java WD IsrFormApprove.
3)No idea.
Regards,
Raja Sekhar
