Unable approval from SBWP in leave request workflow

[nirmal15joshi]

Hello All,

My requirement is to unable the leave approval process from sbwp tcode.

Right now user only able to approve leave from portal now user also want to approve leave from sap inbox without affecting existing functionality.

For that i have remove the approval activity from workflow and give user decision step for workflow but it is not working and PTREQ_HEADER table is not updated properly.

My question is .

1)Is this requirement is valid by the user

2)Can we unable approval from back end and front end if yes then how i can proceed further.

3)through activity step only we can call the wdj and wda view,

  can we call standard wdj or wda approval view using user decision step.

Waiting for your quick response.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks Raj for your reply and sharing the document.

My original question is user want to approve the request from SBWP tcode using user decision and from frontend alos using sap standard WDA iview.

Is it possible to approve request from both the place.

[rajad]

Yes, it is possible.

Your approval task in workflow definition should be a user decision step so that they can approve/reject it from SBWP.

In frontend, you need to configure SWFVISU in such a way that it launches your WDA application.

I hope, current setup should contain DUMMY method. It should be replaced as mentioned above, so that it is possible from both backend and frontend.

Cheers,

Raj

thanks,

I tried the same and remove the dummy step task from backend and add user decision step..

but through UWL that user decision task is not calling standard sap iview.

it will give user decision button on portal for approve and reject not standard iview button.

Please check with portal consultant.

You need to configure UWL and customise your XML as well.

Hi Nirmal,

Your existing approval step definition should be a standard/custom user decision step only.

There should be a check statement in the underlying method to restrict it from executing via SAP GUI.

Please check and remove the validation.

I am not sure about calling WDJ or WDA from SBWP.

Thank for your response,

I dont want to call wda from SBWP, WDA view is calling from UWL and he is approving from portal.

Right now they want to approve leave from SBWP also using user decision step.

Is it possible to call WDA screen through UWL , if we use user decision step in workflow rather than sap activity with dummy method.

one more thing

There should be a check statement in the underlying method to restrict it from executing via SAP GUI.

Where is this option at step level or at task level.

Can you send me screen shot of that.

Thanks in advance
