Workflow PR-Next level pop-up for release

Dear All,
I am working on PR release through workflow, with three level release codes. I need your help in setting:-
Example:
In case PR received through workflow at 1st level for release code Z1, and if he could not able to release it within 5 Min, PR/task should be forwarded to next 2nd level for release Z2.
And in case 2nd level do not release within 10 Min, PR/task should be farwarded to 3rd level for decision
etc etc
It is some thing with lastet End, Request Start, Latest Start & Request End , but could not able to understand how to work with them in case of above situation.
Any tips/link/document would be great for me?
Regards
Aamir

How to configure evaluations at level task only for released projects?

Hi,
Does anyone know how to configure evaluations at level task only for released projects?
What we need is that the evaluation will be executed only when project has released status. Is that possible?
Thanks a lot,
CAMILO URIBE

Hi CAMILO,
After the notes 1422722 & 1465106 is a service method available, which allow the customer to dis-able the evaluation.
CL_EVE_EXTRACT_FACTORY SET_ACTIVE
You can put a codes in some BADI method, which is called during save. Within the Badi-Implementation, call the SET_ACTIVE method, so that the evaluation not be tiggered (until the project get released.)

Workflow not move to next level approver...

Hi Friends,
                       I have developed workflow for appraisal. Employee enter his appraisal ratings and submit and then first,second,third level approvers enter their ratings one after another submit.
                        whenever one level approver submit,i have updated th status in our customized table and pass the status to workflow method through Set Parameter command. For example ,when employee enter his rating and once submit, i have update the status field in table with value 'Pending with First Approver' and pass the status 'pending with first approver' through Set Parameter command to workflow method. In workflow methods , I receive status value using Get Parameter command and based on tht value respective workflow item will moved to inbox of First level approver.
                  Its working fine. But SOME TIMES status updated in table properly and workflow item keep retain in same level inbox even after submit successfully,instead of move to next level approer.
                  For example, once employee submit his appraisal rating,status 'pending with first level approver' updated in table properly. But workflow item still keep retain in employee inbox only and first level approver do not receive workflow item in his inbox. I tried to refresh that variable which i used in set parameter/get parameter command . but same proble continue.Could you please suggest me what will be reason for this issue?. Thank you.

Hockteck..

Hi Rick,
                       Thanks for your response. I am using Z table for reporting purpose. In Z table I update status like 'pending with employee','pending with first approver',etc. If the end users wants to know the status of apprisal for a particular employee,they can use this report and react according to the updated status.
                                           I have mentioned in this thread about both this Z table update and pass status using set parameter id, because both these statment executed after employee or approvers submit. But Z table updated successfully and set parameter not passed successfully.
                     In my workflow I am using Loop step and this loop will continue to run till the status become 'Completed'. when third level approver submit his appraisal details that time i pass the status 'Completed' to complete the workflow .For employee,first and second level approvers I pass the status like 'Pending with Employee','Pending with First','Pending with Second'.
                   Whenever I pass the status to workflow,using Function Module i find the next level approver based on the status. For example If the status is 'Pending with First' then in the function module I find the first level approver and pass his UserId as current agent name. Whenever this issue happen I debug and check the current agent id . But it shows only Employee ID.If the status 'Pending with First' passed to workflow properly then FM could have pass the First level approver ID. But since current agent id shows Employee Id, workflow keep exist in Employee inbox ,even after he submit successfully.
                     If 10 employees submit his apprisal ratings,for one or two employees this issue happen and for rest of the emplyess workflow completed successfully with all approvers submissions. Any suggestions?.

Hi Aamir,
As you said we have to use deadline monitoring here.
For this case use 'Requested Start'. From your i came to know this workitem should be a dialog workitem, so the workflow will wait for the time what you have specified in the requested start and when it is reached it places the workitem in the corresponding recipient inbox.

I have recently started having this problem in PSE8. The Adobe workaround
did work, but I don't fancy having to re register each time I use it.
What I have discovered is that it's nothing to do with the image metadata as it occurs before any image is opened.
It SEEMS to only occur if you use file/open with to open an image in the editor - IE start PSE with that command.
If you close elements down, and start it using programs/PSE/Elements (or your desktop shortcut) - the panorama feature magically works.
Each time I've opened the editor 'automatically' using image/open with, it seems to create the problem.
Hope this helps

Customizing steps of workflow for Release strategy

Hi Experts,
Iam looking for step by step customizing details of workflow for Release Strategy for Purchase Requisition.
I need necessary classification and Customizing settings for a release procedure in the purchase requisition to the workflow.
I am looking for the steps, in which the purchase requisition can be edited straight from the workflow inbox.
Regards
Nani

Hi Nani,
First you have to confirm what kind of release it is in Purchase req you have Item level release and over all release.
Item level release - WS00000038
Over all Release - WS20000077
Now please confirm with your MM consultant that he has done the release Strategy and tesed it Ok.
Escecially things like assigning plant, Assigning Agents,Release codes and so on when everything is done by him in SPRO.
Now your work starts If it is just release use the standard workflow.
If they need additional notification mails and things like that copy the standard workflow and do the customization in the copied version and deactivate the standard workflow.
You can also do dead line monitering (Factory Calander) and many more things.
also please go through these 2 links you will get better idea.

PR Workflow for release strategy

Hi,
Could you please let me know the steps how to configure the workflow for the PR release strategy for both item level as well as header level.
Thanks in advance
Shp

Hello,
If you wish to work with procedure 1, define the following:
Release codes
Release indicators
Assignment of release indicators
Release prerequisites
Determination of release strategy
1. Release codes
Create the release codes.
2. Release indicators
Define release indicators and branch to the detail screen. Here you define whether fixed purchase requisitions may be changed by Materials Planning, for example, and whether an RFQ or a purchase order may be created from the requisition.
You can also determine the field selection here.
In the area "Changes after the start of the release procedure", you specify whether a requisition may be changed after the release procedure has begun. You specify whether the strategy has to be redetermined after changes, or whether the release procedure has to start all over again from the beginning.
This parameter bears a relation to the parameter "Value change". For example, previous releases are not cancelled if the value of the requisition item after the change does not exceed plus 10% of its original value.
Attention:
Be sure to create a release indicator (e.g. B for "blocked") that serves as the starting point for subsequent indicators. Do not set the indicators for release for the issue of RFQs and PO on the detail screen for this indicator.
Also create a release indicator characterizing the released status. Set the indicators for release for the issue of RFQs and PO on the detail screen.
3. Assignment of release indicators
Assign a release indicator in dependence on the status of the release.
Example:
You create a release strategy S1 consisting of two release codes 01 and 02. Release with 01 is a prerequisite for release with 02. If release has been effected with 01, the requisition has been given the "all clear" for the issue of RFQs.
You have created the release indicators B (blocked), 1 (cleared for issue of RFQs) and 2 (cleared for RFQs and PO).
Now enter the following as assignment:
Strategy   C1 C2 C3 ...
S1                           B (blocked)
S1         X                1 (RFQ)
S1         X   X            2 (RFQ/PO)
4. Release prerequisites
Define which release codes are involved in a release strategy. Specify whether a code is set for a release status following release, and whether one release status is a prerequisite for another (+).
Example:
Strategy   Code C1 C2 C3 ...
S1         01    X
S1         02    +   X
5. Determination of the release strategy
Determine the conditions under which each release strategy is assigned. The criteria are account assignment category, material group, plant, and value of the requisition item.

The next level manager is unable to view or access appraisal forms for all

I am facing an issue where in the next level manager is not able to see the appraisal docs of employees.
Follwing is the link that we found on SDN related to the same issue-
Next higher level manager should see the appraisal docs of the employees
During the PM testing, an issue was discovered with the existing logic of the Default Next Level Manager BADI.
When a manager manually reports to a NL managers organization unit, the next level manager is unable to view or access appraisal forms for all the employees who report to the manager.
For example,
NL Manager/Cheif: Susan
Manager/Chief: John
Employees: Mary and Matt
If Johns position (manager/chief) has a A 999 Reports to dotted line relationship to Susans organization unit (NL Manager), then Susan is unable to access, approve or reject the appraisal forms for Mary and Matt (Johns direct reports).
The relationship type is A 999 Reports to dotted line
Type of related object O (Organizational Unit)
We need to update the BADI in order for the next level manager to be able to access appraisal forms as described in the example above.
BADI implementation Name : Z_HRHAP00_DOC_DEF_DO
Method - IF_EX_HRHAP00_DOC_DEF_DO~DEFAULT_OTHERS
Now we are facing the following issue-
After identification of the employees who report to the managers organizational unit using the A 003 Belongs to relationship we are not sure how to pass these employees information from BADI to appraisal form, so that the previously identified Next Level Manager will be able to access, accept and reject appraisal forms for these employees.
For further details please refer the thread. I was not able to understand how this can be achieved.
Can anyone please mention in brief how I should be able to do this. I am new to this and I would appreciate any help .
Regards,
Satish.

There are no Function Modules to my knowledge. Pls try the transaction S_AHR_61016530 which would display the User's approvers as per hierarchy. This would bring datas from the HR tables. If this helps pls award points.

Workflow for releasing PR

Hello Friends,
I need a workflow for releasing the PR. For this I had used the default workflow WF_REQ_REL. Its working fine.
My problem is, if I am rejecting and saving the release of an item in the PR, the workflow is currently choosing the outcome 'Purchase requisition item significantly changed'. Is this correct?
When I reject the release of a particular item in the PR, I think the outcome to be executed should be 'Release of purchase requisition item refused'.
Can someone give an appropriate explanation & a solution for this ? Is there anything wrong from my side ?
Regards,
Abijith

Hi Abijith,
Yes it will follow the significantly changed branch only if you cancel or reject a purchase requisition. The reason is if you check the status of purchase requisition then whenever the PR is rejected, the status becomes changed.
If you want to take any action in the workflow when the PR gets rejected, then you need to read the field BANPR of table EBAN. If BANPR = 08(REJECTED) , this implies that the PR is rejected and you can take the further actions thereafter based on it.
There is nothing wrong from your side. But try to look into more technical things like values of fields in table EBAN etc. to know why exactlly it is following the SIGNIFICANTLY CHANGED branch.
Feel free to ask more if you don't get this.

Guddan
