How to by pass approval for a SC workflow which got into error

[Former Member]

Dear All

I am trying to by pass the Workflow for the SC which is behaving erratically since this is a one off case so we need to just by pass the approval so that it creates the PO  . Earlier I used a function module which used to do the same . BBP_BS_SC_TRANSFER_CLASSIC .

But it is not working currently . When I enter the SC and GUID in the FM it is not giving me any results .

Can some one please help me on what I could do ? We are working in SRM 7.02

The issue primarily being that the approver who has already approved 2-3 times the cart it again keeps going to the same approver for approval .

From line 8 to 14 it is the same approver whom the system has found and it seems to be going endlessly .

please advise / assist

Hi Vinita,

FM BBP_PD_SC_STATUS_CHANGE_WF

Pass GUID of SC and  IV_STATUS = 1.

This will set the SC status to 'Approved'

Hi Anubhav

Thanks it got approved indeed , However how would create a Follow on doc as I dont see the follow on doc being created . Something else I need to do ?

Hi Vinita,

Use the FM BBP_PD_SC_TRANSFER to create follow on docs.

Hey Anubhav I tried it doesnt work .. Earlier I thought since i had not entered the vendor was the reason it was not getting displayed however it is something else since I even have the vendor mentioned .

Partner function 19 yet it is not converting to a PO .

Please let me know if you have any idea on the same ?

Hi Vinita,

Is it not creating a PO or not creating any follow on document?

Check the wiki links below for detailed info on BE document creation process..

HI Anubhav

Thanks for the inputs I am still  unabel to figure out that I am still checking as to what the issue could be could you please confirm me one thing more meanwhile in the portal It is not updating the status as Approved it still shows as below :

However in backend it gives me the status as Approved .

From my understanding  this is the expected behaviour as the SC only gets approved in the back end in the portal it still has the same status as was before please correct me if I have said something wrong .
