Automatic approval workflow does not work anymore

[Former Member]

Hi,

Our automatic approval workflows configured via standard business configuration sets (process controlled) do not work anymore. They did work previously.

After changing the BUS objects 'automatic approval' workflow into the 1-step manager approval workflow it does work.

- The 'automatic approval' workflow does not seem to generate a workitem, the bbp_pd 'workflow' part is empty. In addition previously approved documents via 'automatic approval' do not contain workitem details via bbp_pd either anymore.

- We applied a new SP (SP07) not that long ago.

- These documents go into status: 'awaiting approval', the documents 'approval' details tell us the following:

001 Automatic Approval Valid (Can be Started) Open (No Decision Made) SYSTEM system

However the system does not execute the task, how come? What normally ensures the system executes these 'automatic approval' tasks (report?)?

Any input is very much appreciated.

Kind regards,

Tim

Hi Tim:

I am currently facing the same issue. SRM 7.0 SPS9 - ECS implementation.

The configuration TYPE LINKAGE setting in SWETYPV for:

/SAPSRM/CL_WF_PDO READY_FOR_RELEASE SRM_PROCESS_START comes off every time I release a contract.

Any input is appreciated.

Thanks,

Hi Balaji,

In SRM 7.0,

Hi Balaji,

Automatic approval workflow does not triigering in Shopping Cart for Workflow in SRM 7.0. BRF Config done , Process Level Config done in Config. How to debug this issue? Please let me know.

You cannot debug the issue. But you can in TX: SLG1 whether your Schema is triggered or not.

One question in Tx: /SAPSRM/WF_PROCESS, have you configure your default Schema with following details.

Level type : Automatic

Task id : 40007988.

Decision Type : Decision for Entire doucment.

Please check,then we can think.

Thanks,
