shopping cart approval workflow

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I am new to SRM and trying to configure the one-step SC approval workflow. Basically the approavl should go to the manager[chief position] in the org structure.

I have assigned the org structure to the task TS10008126 and use the rule to 00000157 to identify the chief position. This config is not working. In SWI2_FREQ, it shows that 'no agent assigned'. Then I tried to directly assign the manager user ID instead of rule. Now I get the mail in managers inbox but in SWI2_FREQ, the status is still 'no agent assigned' .

Am I missing something?

Hi Roopesh,

Please check following:

in PPOMA_BBP find aperson, which will be approver.

Look at 'Basic data' tab and checkbox "head of own organisation unit" (should be enabled).

Look at 'Extendend attributes / PO Value Limits' and fill approval limit.

For all persons fill attribute SLAPPROVER in 'Attributes' tab. Value of SLAPROVER should look like this:

US<login name> e.g. USMANAGER.

Also check if workflow start conditions is fill correctly.

Run transaction SWO1, use object type BUS2121 (shopping cart) and click 'Test'. Click on button 'instance' and enter SC number.

Hi Roopesh,

Do not change anything to the standard WF, it works "out of the box".

You just have to manage the starting conditions.

Hi Vadim,

First, I am using one-step approval.

If I don't change the WF, how can it identify my manager. I need to assign the org structure somewhere.

The WF itself contains the approver determination.

It is based on the checkBox 'Manager' assigned to the user in the org structure.

Hello,

Agent determination in SRM is made through adhoc agent. This is necessary for the approval preview. The search for the manager is implemented in BOR object ASBMANAGER, you don't have to change this in std workflow.

(Note 391674 can give you more detail on this)

Hi Bernd,

Hi Roopesh

AFAIK you setup a org structure containing 1-n org units in some kind of hierarchy. Then you assign positions to the org units. To each position you can specify whether or not it is a manager position. In order to have a working approval WF you need a manager and one normal position assigned to each org unit.

Then you assign users to all those positions. At runtime, when a normal user (position) creates a SC the agent determination verifies where in the org structure this user is assigned to and searches upwards in the org structure hierarchy to hopefully find a manager position. If it finds one, then the user assigned to this manager position will be the approver.

Of course you also have to maintain your starting conditions as well. But it is not required to touch the WF itself.

Hope this clarifies it a bit...

Kind regards,

Hi Yann,

SRM 4.0 (SRM-Server 5.0), EBP 5.

Maybe you can look over my starting conditions and can tell me what could be wrong.

In fact I wanted originally run self-created workflows (with budget-limit and value-approval) but now I want to run the standard workflows because i think there are too many errors in it.

Bernd
