N Step BADI Approval Workflow Error in SRM 7.0

Hi,
I have implemented SC Workflow Approval based on line item(sequential approval). I implemented process controlled workflow for this using N step Badi. Necessasy configuration done for each level at schema. All steps are executed per line item and agents determined using N step Badi /SAPSRM/BD_WF_RESP_RESOLVER.
Even in SC after the document is ordered, in approval overview tab i see the all level sequence with approvers name for that line item.
But when approved by first approver, it doesnot move to the next level for approval and the SC is approved bypassing all approvers in the following levels.
For example, if there four levels of approvals for one line item. as soon as the first approver approves the SC is approved and in SC Approval Overiew tab that contained four level of approval in it is now reset to one level with SC marked as appproved.
Have anybody come across this error.
Not able to figure out why it is happening so... need some expert advice.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Masa .. thanks for your reply.
Was on vacation so could not reply.
I have below settings in SRM for SC
Process Level definition should be like this.
Level Eva.ID ; Resolver Task ID Decision Type
100 L100 R100 40007953 Item-Based decision for Partial Doc.
200 L200 R100 40007953 Item-Based decision for Partial Doc.
300 L300 R100 40007953 Item-Based decision for Partial Doc.
I have implemented /SAPSRM/BD_WF_RESP_RESOLVER for R100.
for grouping we are using line item number ... so each line item is a group.
Below are issues that i am facing now.
For say 2 line item in a SC... with 3 level of approvals for each line item. I am not able to approve one line item in a sequence. For example: If for first line item, when I approve level one .. then the workitem doesnot move to 2nd approver's inbox for that line item. Now if second items (asssuming there are only 2 line items in SC) first approver has approved then i see all second level of approvers available for all line item.
In short system waits for all one level approvers to approver for all line item and when all the line items are approved at one level then the workitems are available for seconds level of approval.
Is this the standard behaviour?
As per our requirement we wanted one line item shoudl follow the approveral sequence without being dependent on other items approval.

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.

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,

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,
Nilay

N level-Approval for contract workflow (WS14000148) in SRM

Hi SDN'rs
I want to activate N level-Approval for contract workflow (WS14000148) in SRM
When I am creating the contract in SRM I can see the approvers in the approval preview.
But when I release the contract and look at the approval privew there are no approvers
and the status of the contract is released.
We are on SRM Server 5.5 and SP 07.
Here what I did
1. I implemented the BADI 'BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI' using the sample implementation and populated the approvers.
2. I activated events SAVED,CHANGEVERSIONSAVED for WS14000148 in OOCU transaction.
3. I see event linkages for WS14000148 for both events SAVED,CHANGEVERSIONSAVED in SWE2 transaction.
4. I assigned role SAP_EC_BBP_PURCHASER to for subworkflow N step for contract WS14000147.
( User who is creating contract has this role)
5. Consistency check for WS14000148 is green and WS14000147 is yellow in SWUD
6. Event simulation for BUS2000113 and events SAVED,CHANGEVERSIONSAVED shows WS14000148 successfully started.
I see dump in ST22 with errors TSV_TNEW_PAGE_ALLOC_FAILED and SYSTEM_NO_SHM_MEMORY with WF-BATCH is this any thing to do with that?
If any one know what are the steps I am missing please let me know.
Thanks

Camera Raw Workflow Settings - where?

Hi!
In Bruce Fraser's and Jeff Schewe's "Camera Raw with .. CS3", p 134, a dialogue box Workflow Options is shown. Likewise, Photoshop CS3 Help > Camera Raw > CR Settings > CR Workflow Options promises "You can see and change these Workflow settings at the bottom of the Camera Raw dialog box."
I wonder which dialog box the text is referring to. I can not see the Workflow dialog box at the bottom of the dialog box shown in Bridge > Camera Raw Preferences, nor in Bridge > Preferences, nor in Photoshop > Preferences, nor in Photoshop > Edit > Color Settings.
All the entrances on the Adobe site only lead me to the same PS Help document.
It would indeed be useful to be able to specify e.g the bit depth as a default, because the PS default seems to be 8 bit (PS > Image > Mode), so I have to remember to set it to 16 for every single image anew.
I use Mac 10.4.11 on a MacBook Pro, 2GHz processor, 2GB RAM , PS CS3, ACR 4.5
Thanks for help! Hening.

>Well, the save button is alongside the hyperlink (to it's left) and that opens a fresh panel to allow various options to be set, so I find the explanation advanced by the ACR Team bit hard to understand.
You running a display at 1024 x 768? Because that's Camera Raw's real estate minimum that HAS to be supported...so what you can do in a dialog whose display ends up at a much higher resolution is severely limited because of the minimum requirements. That's why...

What permissions does a user need to be able to access a document library's workflow settings menu?

A group has created some out of the box SP 2010 workflows in a standard document library.
Some users have the "Workflow Settings" icon available to click on, but other staff only see a grayed out icon.
I have been trying to determine what change is needed to a user's access to the library so that they can add or access workflows.
Thank you

I believe it is the "Manage Lists" permission that they need. Owners and Designers permission levels have this by default.

Workflow approval in SRM 7.0

Hello all, I am working in SRM 7.0 and I have this issue:
1) One user creates shopping cart using shop on behalf function for this user.
2) First question: This user only have availables all parameters that he/she has in his/her organizational structure? I am talking about cost centers, plants, etc... Because when you put shop on behalf function, you are linking an user for all users that belong to a organizational unit right?
3) I have activated one step approval for SCs
4) When SC was saved by first user (user A) using shop on behalf function (user B), I need that this SC throws a new workflow activity. I need that user B was first approver and then other user was second approver. But only when the SC was created using shop on behalf not other procedure.
What do you recommend for this?
I thought use conditions for workflow in this case, but these are for old workflow version no? How can I do it with new workflow version for SRM 7.0?
Thanks in advance
Rosa Rodríguez

Hi,
See me answers below all your questions..
1) One user creates shopping cart using shop on behalf function for this user.
Answer: Yes it is possible..
2) First question: This user only have availables all parameters that he/she has in his/her organizational structure? I am talking about cost centers, plants, etc... Because when you put shop on behalf function, you are linking an user for all users that belong to a organizational unit right?
Answer: According to POWL concept and F4 help functionality it will not work in the way you explained above..
4) When SC was saved by first user (user A) using shop on behalf function (user B), I need that this SC throws a new workflow activity. I need that user B was first approver and then other user was second approver. But only when the SC was created using shop on behalf not other procedure.
What do you recommend for this?
Answer: In SRM 7.0 the standard workflow template will not allow Document owner to approver his own document..
I thought use conditions for workflow in this case, but these are for old workflow version no? How can I do it with new workflow version for SRM 7.0?
Answer: Review the following link for this.. http://help.sap.com/saphelp_srm70/helpdata/en/74/c0256bebb54f1c8dfb519d2908152b/frameset.htm
