Wrong approver for shopping cart

Hi Friends,
I've found something very strange in my SRM system for Shopping cart approveal process.
One of my SC is waiting for approaval by a approver who is assigned to different plant and he has got nothing to do with this SC.
The SC's basic data contains the responsibility of some other LPR group for which approver is different and he is the actual approver of this SC.
Can you guys provide some link where i can find documents related to approval process in detail and also the organisation structure material as i am new to SRM..? after providing the solution for above querry...
Thanks in advance
ss

Hi Volkoale,
I am also facing the same issue. If you have resolved it kindly post your approach as it will be helpful to the community.
In my case, there is one cutomized table that contains list of approvers, but I am yet to debug and find the source of data for this table. Your reply will be rewarded.
Cheers,
Kris

Process Controlled Workflow - 1-step approval for shopping cart approval

Hi,
I have configured a one-level approval for SC (Process Controlled Workflow):
Object Type: BUS2121
Additional 1 level under schema: 3C_SC_600_000 (the last level is the automatic approval)
Level Type: Approval with completion
Eval ID: 0EV_SC_SL1
RR Name: RR_SPENDING_LIMIT_APPROVER
RR Param: USTONY.Y (I hardcoded it using my user ID, for the moment)
Task ID: 40007953 (I have checked, it's generalized as well)
Decision Type: Item-based decision for entire document
For PPOMA_BBP:
Under my org unit (Position):
Approval Limit: 1000
Output Limit: 1000
I didn't do any BADI implementations yet.
During creation of SC by other user, before "Order" the SC, the approval preview can show correctly that the Processor is as indicated in the config.
Once the SC is ordered, the whole step is gone and the event linkage becoming delinked (because there is error, and according to the config in SWEQADM).
However, I cannot find the workitem (no workitem generated) and SLG1 does not give any clue whatsoever.
I tried debugging method APPROVAL_LIMIT, and it seems fine as well.
Please help, what did I do wrong here?
Thanks,
Tony Y

Hi Sahil,
I even changed to first process level to:
Level Type: Approval
Eval ID: 0EV000
RR Name: RR_MANAGER
RR Param: (Blank)
Task ID: 40007953 (I have checked, it's generalized as well)
Decision Type: Decision for entire document
Under PPOMA_BBP:
I made myself as a head of the org unit with the role manager.
The requester is "Exclude" the role manager.
The agent can be determined now.
But the workitem ID is still cannot be generated. It's always no workitem generated.
Please everyone, any help?
Thanks in advance,
Tony

please can you guide me the procedure to set up the offline approval.
i know the report /sapsrm/offlineapprovasend has to be executed , but what i want to know is what selection data i need to give to schedule the job and what all settings i need to maintain for it to work properly
please help .

Hi,
Please check note:
[1247911 - Offline Approval: Buttons not available in mails office 2007|https://css.wdf.sap.corp/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/sapnotes/index2.htm?numm=0001247911]
This note proposes as solution
"Users with Outlook 2007 should open the mail in a window (double click)
and use the option "other actions" -> "view in browser" to see and use
all functionalities of the mail."
This is because Outlook 2007 does not support HTML forms.
Please, generate the mail in browser and check how the system works.
In order to use such functionality, you have to follow steps available
in note 1247911.

Line Item level Approval for Shopping cart

Hi Expert,
I am using workflow template WS14500015 for line item level approval.i have few doubts on this
i am using cost center based approval, so if the 1st line item is approved will it generate a PO or will it wait for all the line items approval.

Hi Mano,
if you use approval. It will be approved by steps. Next step will not be started until previous completely done. In your case 1st Item should wait until all other items processed.

Accept / Rejection Reasons for Shopping Cart Approval

Hi experts!
Our customer would like to have the following functionality.
During approval workflow the user will either Accept or Reject the shopping cart and at the same time he must enter a reason for approval / rejection from a list with fixed texts / values.
I didn't find any documentation about rejection reasons during approval of shopping cart. Has anybody of you ever seen this or realized anything like that?
If SAP Standard doesn't offer anything suitable we might have to modify the approver screen or develop a new screen.
Any helpful answer would be much appreciated.
Best regards,
Corinne

Hi
Please try this ->
Re: Make mandatory field-Reason for rejection notes-SC approval screen
Reason for Return Delivery missing
Re: Text Types Issue on Bid/Quote
Temporary GUID coming from Sourcing in Doc change badi
Reason for Return Delivery
inactive approval and reject buttons on shopping cart approval screen
Else Use BBP_DOC_CHECK_BADI
SC header level Reject- Display error message
Hope this will help. Do let me know.

Problems with Auto approval workflow (WS 10000060) for shopping carts

Hi SAP Network community,
I have got a problem with the auto approval workflow for shopping carts.
Basically the workflow approves the shopping cart once it was created.
But then the related Purchase Order remains in Status held. If the PO gets ordered manually then it is not transferred to the R/3 backend system.
For testing purposes also the one step approval workflow was activated. If the shopping cart gets approved by clicking into the detail approval screen (not by approving through the green tick box in the shopping cart overview) then the PO gets ordered and transferred to the backend system as normal.
But if the shopping cart gets approved by using the green tick box in the shopping cart overview then the same problem occurs as described for the auto approval workflow.
The system version is SRM 4.00
Did anybody have the same or similar problems with the auto approval workflow and what could be the reason for this problems.
Thanks in advance,
Robert

Hi
Which SRM Workflow Scenario are you using (IS it Item level workflow or Shopping cart level Workflow) ?
Are you using customized SRM Business workflow or Standard SRM Workflow ?
Please go through these links as well.

Process Controlled WF for Shopping Cart

Hi,
We have implemented process controlled workflow for shopping cart approval.
1. Created a bespoke schema for the approval process
2. Defined 5 process levels in the schema
3. changed the BRF event at the schema evaluation level. It now
contains a constant with the name of new schema create in step 1.
4. Decision set used is item based approval for partial documents (Type 4)
4. The first process level is get the technical approval from bespoke
table based on material group. For that we have first created a
Responsibility Resolver Name - ZTECHNICAL_APPROVER.
We have implemented the BADI - /SAPSRM/BD_WF_RESP_RESOLVER. Assigned
the filter as BUS2121 and ZTECHNICAL_APPROVER.
5. Now we have placed the external debugger in BADi. when we create
the shopping cart the flow doesn't stop at the break point. The item
reaches to the last step of Automatic approval (Rejected).
6. We think that schema is getting evaluated, however the process
level is not getting called.
7. Before we created schema, all the carts wer getting "Approved" by
automatic step. In our schema the automatic step is "Rejected", hence
the carts are getting rejected.
Could you please let me know what could be reason for BADI
implementation not being called or is there any config step which we
are missing?

Hi,
I think your process level evaluation id is not true, that is the reason system skips the process level.. Can you check your evaluation event-expression code. What do you see in SLG1? For testing purpose change the evaluation id to 0EV000 and check. Make Sure you debug through the user(requester) that you are creating the SC. Please test and let me know...

How to re-start the workflow for Shopping carts in WAITING status

Hi
We are using 1-step approval work flow, and we get some strange issue. We can add approver in the workflow, but after we click order button and back to check status again, sometimes there will be "Ad-hoc agent not found" issue. Do you know how to solve?
And one workaround for user is to re-add the approval, and sometimes the shopping cart back to normal. But sometimes, after we add the approver, the shopping cart are in waiting status:
Workflow Item:
Workitem-ID 000000714642
Task WS10000276
Text One-Step Approval: Value limit: Shopping Cart
1000114698
Status WAITING
Statustext Waiting
Date 13.06.2008
Time 10:41:22
So may I ask how to re-trigger the workflow?

Hi,
Thx for that. I need to trigger the Approval workflow to go the the approval manager.
Can u give me the document on this? thx, kerry.liu [at] ap.effem.com.
Thx very much

Purchase order created on approval of Shopping cart

Hi All,
We are using SRM 5.0 Support pack SAPKIBKT17.
When a shopping cart is approved, a purchase order is automatically created. And this purchase order is attached to an E-Mail and sent to the Vendor.
My query is that where is this E-Mail triggered? Is there a standard workflow task or any method is called?
Thanks,
Kiruthiga

Thank you Jason.
I put break points in all relevant sub routines in the function group you mentioned. And we approved the shopping cart. Logically, this should trigger a creation of PO. In our system there is no need for an approval for a PO. So the PO must automatically be sent to the vendor. In real, it did not stop at any breakpoint and the workflow WS10400051 (FinalProcNew) is triggered.
I can not understand at which point the E-Mail is triggered. Is my assumption that the E-Mail to vendor with PO as an attachment is triggered in this workflow (WS10400051)?
Please help me understand.
Regards,
Kiruthiga

Release strategy for Shopping Cart

HI SRM GURU
We are implementing SRM 4.0 and follow a classic scenarios.
While creating a shoping cart the approval of Shopping cart is based on various attributes like
Material Group + Cost Center + Value .
Can I change the standard workflow conditions and add new conditions like material Group and cost centers.
So that when I create a Shopping cart and change the cost center in the shopping cart, it goes to the head of the new cost center(for Approval) which is manually entered in the shopping cart.
Can this control be achived through the Org plan attributes.
Regards,
Nimish Sheth

Hi Yann
How do we change the parameteres and the starting Conditions say ,
follwoing is the situation -
Material group Cost Center   Value   Release Person
LGEN01           C019        5000       A1
LGEN01           C019        10000      A2
LCAT01           C019        5000       C1
LCAT02           C020        5000       C3
Like that we have 100's of combinations bsed on cost center. Is is that I have to add all this in SAP Workflow start conditions .?????

Nimish Sheth

N-step WF for shopping carts

Is there a N-step WF for shopping carts which can be used in SRM 5.0 ?
The WF is driven by product category and not spending limits.
Or do we have to develop a custom WF ?
Thanks

Separate Determination Method for List of Approvers via BAdI BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI in WS14000133:
In WS14000109 the approvers are determined dependent on the total value of the SC and on the approval limits of the managers.
However, if you use WS14000133 as an alternative, you can determine the list of approvers flexibly according to your particular requirements.
You do this using the method GET_REMAING_APPROVERS of BAdI BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI, with which you can integrate a logic for determining the approvers for each approval step (this can be more than one) and the number of steps in the entire approval process.
For more details, see the IMG:
Supplier Relationship Management ® SRM Server ® Business Add-Ins for Enterprise Buyer (BAdIs) ® SAP Business Workflow ® Determination of Approvers for n-Step Dynamic Approval Workflow.
Go through the documentation of the BADI BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI. It will give you a fair idea on how to about the logic you want.
Hope this helps!!
