Workflow : WS90000005 - No approver name

Hi,
SRM 5.0
Workflow WS90000005 .
I have tested this workflow with custom code and it works well (technically ! ).
When the approver approved the shopping cart, it doesn't show the approver name on the "approval overview" screen. It shows "approved" (no name). But when the approver reject the shopping cart, name appears
I have searched the forum....someone mentioned that if the workflow is NOT set as general, it might happen. I am not sure where can I find out whether the WF is set as "general" or not.
Please help.
If you think the problem could be somewhere else, please let me know as well
Thanks
-Pranav

Hi Pranav,
Is your workflow is a copy of SAP standard workflow. Are you using BAdI for n-step workflow, please let me know. I will help you out with this issue.
If you are using n-step BAdI then please check APPROVAL_TABLE and fill it properly with all details ( userids / username etc).
Thanks and Regards
Pras

  • Workflow - Wrong approver name

    HI
    In our dev instance, users are getting action notification in email, once got approved, the transaction is over, and in the "Who" coloumn, different person name is storing instead of the approved person name.
    In our Test Instance, users are getting FYI notification in Email, but they are not getting email notification. Do we need to set any profile option? How to get this?
    Thanks in advance.

    Run $FND_TOP/sql/wfmlrdbg.sql script and check the status of the message in WF_DEFERRED and WF_NOTIFICATION_OUT queue.
    Also, go through the following documents, it should be helpful in troubleshooting the issue.

  • SRM 5.0 - Approver Names Not Displaying in Approval Preview

    Hi,
    Has anyone experienced the following problem in the approval preview applet?
    We’re using the WS14000133 shopping cart approval workflow. The approval preview stopped working once we moved it to production January 1. The approval preview in production doesn’t display the names besides the approval steps. It displays the correct number of nodes/steps but not the name beside each node/step.
    If the cart is ordered, the approval requests are delivered to the correct approvers. The BADI is returns the required information for each step as well.
    We did not experience this problem in our non production systems.
    Thanks,
    Jerry Martinek

    Hello Jerry,
    Can you please check whether they have maintained the fullname in the SU01 settings and also make sure that the right value is being populated in the ls_approval_agent-name with the fullname(either with last/first name)  of the user in the badi.
    Hope this may solve your issue.

  • Workflow for Document Approval

    Hi all,
    I'm a newbie to SolMan and is trying to figure out how to implement a workflow for document approval. A similar question has probably been posted in the past, but I can't find a definite solution, only some hints.
    Basically, what we're trying to achieve is the following:
    When a document is uploaded using SOLAR02, and the creator of the document changes the status to ready for sign-off, we would like to trigger a workflow which will send an email to a couple of persons who are responsible to approve the document. We already implement the digital signature, we just want to add an automatic email notification to be sent to the approvers.
    Based on my research, it seems that this is not supported by SolMan and hence we have to do a custom development.
    There's an object key called SOLMANDOC and we should raise an event (something like SIGNATURE_PROCESS_START) to send an email notification to the approvers. Can somebody confirm whether my understanding is right ? Does anybody know the name of the BADI that we can modify to achieve our goal ? 
    FYI, we're using SolMan Rel 7.01 SP 19.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Phil,
    I'm facing with problems with creating a simple 2 steps release strategy.
    the problem is I cant approve the last step of the release.
    This is what I did:
    In spro Digital Signature->Signature strategy:
    in "Define Authorization groups" I create this entries:
    1. EING
    2. VERIF
    in "Define Individual Signatures" I create this entries:
    1.  S1   EING
    2.  S2   VERIF
    in "Define Individual Strategies: I create this entries:
    SigStrat: ZSIGSTR
    Signature Method: R
    Display comment: X Required
    Display Remark: X
    Display document: X
    Verification: not checked
    in "Assign individual signatures"
    CtrIn  Indiv.SIG.      AGrpDIG
    1          S1               EING
    2          S2               VERIF
    Display Predecessor for Ctrln is 2 is 1
    for "Display release statuses"  an entry with one line with the value 1
    and in "Display individual signatures there 2 entries 1 and 2.
    in spro "Define Document status schemes"
    stat scheme "ZSIGSTR"
    4 status:
    Status                 init status      Sequence    Low     High       lock         Signature schma  End status         Cancel status
    COPY_EDITING       X                  10           10       20          -                    
    REVIEW                                     20           10        40        X                    ZSIGSTR         RELEASED    DECLINED
    RELEASED                                30           10        40        X                   
    DECLINED                                  40           10        20             
    I created two roles with object c_sign_bpr one with the value "EING"   and the other with the value "VERIF"
    I assign this status scheme to a document type in my project.
    I tried to release a document the first step was the author of the document move the status to "REVIEW" and I got a window that i need to enter my password and it worked ok.
    The problem is in the second step that I need to release the document (now is in a REVIEW status) When I press on the icon in order to release I didn't get the option to release only to cancel there is no "V" option in the small window.
    Can you please tell me if I did a correct customization? also can you tell me if my problem is maybe missing authorization? Can you direct me to reading material or to an example?
    Best regards

  • Change default approver name in ESS leave request

    Hi,
    Please help me..
    I am creating leave request Workflow.
    When i go to ESS and try to create Leave Request, ESS already defaults the Approver, and its in display mode only.
    I see the F4 help in Approver field and when i try to select from F4 help, it does not take new value. It's still the same value as it was default to initially.
    How can i use F4 help and change the default approver name?
    Can anyone please help me...I dont know where the things are missing.
    Thanks in Advance
    Shipra

    Thank you all for your reply..
    When i changed the configuration, now its allowing me to change the approver while submitting the leave request.
    But now it also allows me to enter my user id itself to approve the request
    Is there a way that system allows you to enter only your immediate supervisor or supervisor of the supervisor and so on?
    Please help thanks.

  • Looking for Approver Name

    The workflow that I'm working on (journal entry approval) was customized to use three roles, with the people (always more than one) who are associated with the role getting dynamically added based on the journal entry category.
    I'm having trouble getting an approver name out of the database. Bear in mind that not only am I new to workflow, I'm also new to eBiz finance... my normal gig is coding PL/SQL on the HR side.
    I've discovered that if I look at GL.GL_JE_HEADERS, GL.GL_JE_BATCHES, and GL.GL_JE_LINES that I can find most of the pertinent information about a journal entry including whether or not it has been approved (GL_JE_BATCHES.APPROVAL_STATUS_CODE). However, I've looked everywhere and I can't find anything that will tell me who approved it.
    Can someone point me in the right direction? I've spent a lot of time in the GL TRM looking for something along the lines of an approver field but I'm coming up empty.

    Just to close this one out... I don't know if it's the best method, but I'm getting the approver name in the step that immediately follows the notification by using fnd_global.employee_id.

  • Email Notifications through workflow for all Approved and Rejected Orders

    hi,
    i have to send Email Notifications through workflow for all Approved and Rejected Orders to the user who have submitted the order for approval.how could it be done.please send ur solutions.
    regards
    yesukannan

    Hi,
    An option would be use Oracle Alert. Create an event based alert on the table where you have order approvals or rejections. This alert will be raised after inserting or updating this table. Create an action linked to this alert, and choose message as action type.
    This setup can be done under Alert Manager Responsibility.

  • How to fetch APPROVER NAME  and approval date dynamically for an user

    Hi all..
    How to fetch approver name and approval date dynamicall for an user in an email template..
    can any help me to sort out this pbm,i am new to IDM..
    Thanks in advance..

    Access policies get a static value.  You can't populate a field with an adapter.  If you must do this, leave the field blank, and put an adapter on the process form for your field that must be populated using code or logic.

  • PO approver name & PO approval date in an report

    Hi,
    I am aware that there is no standard SAP report which gives the information of PO approver name and PO approval date. If there is any please let me know.
    However we want to develop such report which gives this information and we are bulding logic based on the CDPOS & CDHDR table. Please let me know if there is any other approach to avoid the CDPOS & CDHDR tables in order to avoid any performance issues.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    I asked our ABAP to develop a report such as this, and we retrieve the data such as PO Number, Document Category, etc.  first then used a Function Module (ME_CHANGEDOC_SELECT) to get the Approver and updated Release Date ->this is actually the Change Logs per PO Number. In the E_OUTTAB of the Function Module, the FNAME Field should be equal to FRGKE (which means Release Indicator) and the F_NEW should be equal to an X mark then get the username and date. Note that there's a sorting to get the most updated detail.
    If there are more than one approver who released the PO, like for example there are 3, we set 3 columns each equivalent to 1-X, 2-XX, 3-XXX marks.

    Hi,
    Please mention the application release along with the database version and OS. Also, please post the steps to reproduce the issue (if possible).
    There are couple of hits about the incorrect approver name (as show in the docs below), so getting more details would help.
    Note: 829831.1 - Work Request Approval Notification Has Incorrect Approver Name
    Note: 965964.1 - APPROVAL E-MAIL ON A WORK REQUEST SHOWS THE WRONG APPROVER
