Approval Status Report--Cancelled Radio Tab

[Former Member]

Hi All,

Can anyone please tell me which documents will i get in when i check "Cancelled" radio tab in "Approval Status Report".

As Found in SAP B1 Library, it was explained that documents for which approval procedure has been cancelled will be displayed when i check this tab, but i didn't get any document when i tried this.Here in our system we have many manually cancelled SO's and PO's, but i dont get these documents when i check this tab in "Approval Status Report".SO Please someone explain me the purpose of this.

Thanks & Regards,

Mukesh Agrawal

Dear Mukesh,

When you run the ' Approval Status Report ' with 'cancelled' checkbox is selected,

it will display all the documents for which the approval process itself is cancelled

before making any decision by the Authorizer.

For ex :

1. User creates a document which will go for approval.

2. Authorizer runs the ' Approval Status Report ' with 'pending' checkbox selected

which will display the above document.

3. After the report executed, select the document (first line) and go to Data -> Cancel

4. User receives a message with the status.

These cancelled documents will appear in the approval status report when running the report with cancelled checkbox.

Hope this answers your question.

Hi,

I tried exactly what you told, but "Approval Status Report" is not changing to update mode after i selected the row for document which i want to cancel, and then i went to data-> cancell. Please can you clarify this further.

Dear Mukesh,

Please make sure the authorizer has not taken any decision once the request for approval came for the document.

1. Login with the user (Authorizer)

2. Run the ' Approval Status Report ' only with the option 'Pending' and no other

options selected and the type of document ( Like A/P Invoice)

3. Report should return the above document

4. Do not expand it, select the first row and then go to Data -> Cancel

5. Now the status will be updated to ' Cancelled ' and click update on the

Approval status report.

6. Run the report again with only option 'Cancelled'

We can make only 3 decisions on request for approval 1.Approved 2. Unapproved. 3. Pending.

Cancelled options does n't serve no purpose.

We can't cancel purchase order/sales order as for

documents which is sent for approval or it is approved

Data-->Cancelled in menu is greyed out.
