Automatic approval stopped working in SRM 7

[Former Member]

Hi,

We have SRM 7 server where the automatic approval was set. But surprisingly it stopped working, and all the documents (Like Shopping Cart, Contract, RFx) are going to the status "Awaiting Approval". Do anybody have any idea about such problems

Hi,

Check whether event linkage is active for below entries in SWE2

/sapsrm/cl_wf_pdo ready_for_release srm_process_start

/sapsrm/cl_wf_pdo ready_for_workflow ws40000014

MAKE SURE the automatic approval evaluation id is 0EV000 in process level configuration.

Was it working before and stopped now? What do you see in Approval preview? Did you get any dump on system ID example WF-BATCH ? Please check if you have any syntax error in any of your expression.

we have activated the BCSET for automatic approval for RFx, Shopping Cart etc. Also checked that it is process controlled workflow settings are activated in the system. Anything else I need to check?

were all the steps followed for process controled workflow?

please chekc again based on the documentatin for each step in the IMG.

also if you going to use only zero step automatic approval , why are u going for process controlled workflow, you could simply

retain your old workflow settings by chooing application controlled workflow instead of process controlled workflow.

The process contolled workflow is more useful when you have complex approval rules.

Hi ,

1. Is EvaIuation Identifier maintained as '0EV999' in Process level configuration?

2. Did you make the task groups : 40000003,40000007 As Generalize Tasks?

Hi in SRM 70 a new workflow technology is introduced and by defualt this new workflow is to be active,

please chekc what kind of workflow you are using.

you may choose to use the old(SRM 50 like) workflow too and this should then bring back to old fucntionality and not cause any effect.

check sap note 1276845

for more info.
