Workflow-status is awaiting approval for rejected item

Hello,
I am working on SRM 5.5. Extended classic scenario.
I have implemented the workflow WS1400133 for 3-step SC approval ( using the corresponding BADI) .
I have an issue , where, if the shopping cart is rejected by one of the approvers, then the approval overview shows result : REJECTED , however, the approval status in the ( approval transaction) , shows the workflow status as 'AWATING APPROVAL'.
So, the user cannot modify the shopping cart to resubmit for approval.
Any inputs as to why this is happening and any solution to this ?
Thanks in advance,
Aravind Nair.

Hi Arvind,
  When the SC is rejected ,the total value fo the SC becomes 0.Have you set the  parameter "no_further_approval_needed" for this condition(for rej items)?
  ALso refer the note 790027.Hope this helps.
Regards,
Disha.

    Hi Saravanan,
    I am sorry for delayed response..
    Requiremnet:
    Need to add approvers manually to the shopping cart which is on awaiting approval status.
    The code flow follows as below:
    1. as the workflow already started for this shopping cart so we have interrupted the shopping cart with belwo method
              CALL METHOD /sapsrm/cl_wf_adv_facade=>interrupt_process
                EXPORTING
                  iv_document_guid = lv_new_guid ( shopping cart guid)
    2. instantiated the object for the class /sapsrn/cl_pdo_bo_sc_adv, to its constructor i have passed values work item id generated in above process.
    3. added an approver manually to shopping cart using method of above said class /sapsrm/if_pdo_do_apv_ext~add_approver.
    4. if i skip the execution of method  /sapsrm/if_pdo_bo_sc~order, i am able see all the approvers added manually but the status is "In your Inbox"
    5. if i execute the above said order method, all the approvers added manually are lost.
    Question:
    1. Please suggest me the sequence of methods called are correct?
    2. As per my understanding complete workflow is restarting, so it is losing all the manual approvers if i am wrong suggest me,  Is it not possible to have previously added manually added approvers even after ordering the cart?

    We're on SRM 7 and use automatic approval workflow for RFX.
    Today, when we created RFx and checked the the approval  status , it is awaiting approval  and the system can not approve it .
    I check the log , and it is no error. so we had to restart SRM system, after that, the workflow  is Ok.
    Now, I want to know how to restart workflow for the RFx which approval  status is awaiting approval  .
    Best Regards,

    Hi, 
    What do you say about restart SRM? Close the Browser and does you open again? 
    Define as solemnity approval RFX through transaction OOCU in the way SRM> SRM-EBP> SRM-EBP-WFL 
    Activate event linking

    item1   approver01      approver02    approver03      3 step approve,
    item2   approver11      approver12                          2 step approve.
    When order the SC,user approver01 can receive the task about item1, user approver11 can receive   the tast about item2,Now user approver01 approve his task,if user approver11 didn't approve his task,then about item1's workflow will hold it,the system didn't triger the next step to user approver02,if user approver11 approve his task,then item1 's workflow triger the next step to user approver02 and item2's workflow tiger the next step to user approver12.
        who can help me,why the system flow this logic?

    Hi,
    It is designed that way.
    When item 2 is rejected, requester may want to change item 1. So WF should wait for creating next level workitem until all items are rejected/approved.

  • Workflow - split approved and rejected items for next step

    Hi! I have just started building a simple approval workflow for any price variation of the catalog items. I have a question in regards to the handling of rejection and approval of items. Say I run the workflow which does the validation and it spits out 4 items with huge price variation which requires approval by the manager (using the Approve stencil). The manager logs in, review the items and mark 3 items for approval and reject one. It seems that using this Approve function, I can only proceed to the next step if ALL of the items are approved. Is there a way to be able to release the approved items leaving the rejected one behind? This is so that we can release the approved item first (which also means to check in the items) and leave the rejected item in check-out mode.
    Appreciate your comments on the above.
    Thanks!
    SF

    Hi SF,
    Yes there is a workaround for dealing with the Approved and Disapproved Records by using the Process step instead of the Approve step.
    Kindly follow the Elearning session below which will explain you how to go about this:

  • "Shopping cart Approved but status is Awaiting Approval"

    Hi Guys,
    We are working on SRM 4.0 in classic scenario. We have a weird situation where the shopping cart has been completely approved but the status is still in "awaiting approval". We are using teh item based approval badi.
    Does anybody have an insight to why this is happening. We never had this issue in the QA box in the past. The problem suddenly shows up.
    Please advise.
    Thanks,
    Sundeep

    Hi Sundeep,
    Which Service pack level are u in? SP08 or SP09.
    We have the same problem for SP08 for Workflow WS1000276 - Value limit with single approver.
    Here once the SC is changed, it comes back to the requester.
    When the requester accepts the changes, it hangs in awaiting approval state.
    I am still not able to find a solution.
    Were u able to solve this issue?
    Pls share ur solution with us.
    Regards

  • Shopping cart status of 'awaiting approval'

    Hi Everyone,
    All Shopping Baskets that are rejected by the approver are entering the Order raisers Shopping Basket status report with the status wrong displaying as Awaiting Approval . On previous versions of SRM, the status would be set to In Your Inbox]. This issue is with this header status only as the line items for rejected Baskets does show rejected.
    Any help is welcome. I am on SRM 5.
    Bye.
    Gordon.

    Hello,
    Actually, system behaves in the following way:
    - A shopping cart is created and goes to approval;
    - Approver rejects the cart and the workitem is send back to requester inbox in order to accept the rejection or change the cart and resubmit it to approbation;
    - If requester checks the cart (Inbox or BBPSC04), its header status will be "In your inbox";
    - If someone (administrator, for example), checks the cart via BBP_MON_SC transaction (Monitor Shopping Cart) before the requester acceptance/changes, the shopping cart status will be "Awaiting approval", since the cart is still in approbation process.
    I hope this information helps.
    Kind regards,
    Ricardo

  • SC header status showing 'Awaiting Approval

    All,
    We have n-step approval level, when last approvar approves the shopping cart, the line item is showing approved and Header status still showing 'Awaiting approval'.  So Purchasing is not able to see shopping cart in Sourcing.
    We forcefully approved using SWOT trasaction and now the header  status changed to approved.
    We are recieving these kind of requests daily from our users, did anyone get this issue and is there any permanent solution to fix this.
    your help is highly appriciated.
    Thanks,
    Ravi

    Hi Neha,
    The problem was resloved, i didn't see this thread to reply. The isssue is:
    1. The approver recieves the mail for the SC approval  and he has substitute approver.
    2. The final approval is forwading the mail he recieved to the substitute approver.
    3. Then the Subtitute approver clinking on the Log On link from the mail forwared by approver.
    In standared substitute should not log on to the system by the mail forwared by another person. there will be problem with workitems sync. i asked my susbtittue approver to log on the the system directly, not through forwared mail. It worked now, the shopping cart was approved now.
    Thanks,
    Ravi

  • Offline approval for line item based Shopping carts

    Hi ,
    We are planning to  use offline approval and line item based approval (item based approval workflow) for shopping carts.
    For e.g. 10 line items in a cart can have 10 different  cost centres, and a line each need to go to respective cost centre managers for approval.
    have few clarifications:
    1. Can offline approval be used for item based shopping cart approval workflow?
    2. Can different line items be sent by mail to different mail boxes?
    3.  Will 1 manager see all the 10 line items OR only the 1  line item for which he is responsible?
    4. If he will get only line for which he is responsible , and once he clicks on approve , will this approval apply to his line item only , OR it will apply to all the 10 line items ?
    Rgds
    Sumendra

    Hi Sumedra,
    Which workflow are you using - application or process contrlled workflow?
    Assuming you are using process-controlled workflow - I will answer following questions -
    1. Can offline approval be used for item based shopping cart approval workflow?
    - Yes, it can be used !
    2. Can different line items be sent by mail to different mail boxes?
    Yes
    3. Will 1 manager see all the 10 line items OR only the 1 line item for which he is responsible?
    1 manager can 'see' all the items but he can only approve or reject the item that he is suppose to act on. All other item will be grayed out. However, this behaviour is configuarable !
    4. If he will get only line for which he is responsible , and once he clicks on approve , will this approval apply to his line item only , OR it will apply to all the 10 line items ?
    - see above
    Regards,
