cProjects Phase Approval : Approval Document does not exist

[Former Member]

Hello,

I am trying to approve a phase in cProjects 4.0 (WD ABAP Based).

When I goto Approval Tab --> Approval Document, it displays:

Approval Document does not exist

I have checked the configuration and everything looks correct.

For Project Type I have activated the Form DPR_APPROVAL_HIER

The ADS is configured properly.

I also checked Note 874054 - You cannot start approval w/o approval document, and the config is as per this note.

What else can be likely reasons for this problem.

Any help is appreciated.

Regards,

Hi.

Have you installed the ADS?

"

In cProjects 4.0, SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe are used for some forms (status reports and approval documents). Therefore, you must install the Adobe Document Services (ADS). You must install the ADS on the Java stack NetWeaver 2004s. You do not have to install the ADS on the same server as cProjects, rather you can install it on another server.

For more information about SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe, see http://service.sap.com/adobe.

Hi all,

I have the same problem: when i'm trying to approve a phase in cProjects 3.1, installed in R3 platform, and I goto Approval Tab --> Approval Document, it displays: " Approval Document does not exist"

Anyone know if i need an approval document to do the approval, or if the document is created when i begin an approval?

Thanks,

Hello All,

The problem was in ADS Configuration.

Basically ABAP stacks needs connection to ADS to display the form. So we need to create HTTP Destination on J2EE where ADS is installed. After this was done the problem was solved.

Hi Shubam,
