Purchasing Contract in SAP Fiori

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

We enabled the purchasing contract approval aplpication.But here we are not able to view the reject button in browser.Find the below screen short  for your reference.

In PO the both the buttons are available.

For this is there any note to be implemented.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Myil

If "Reject" button is required, you can go with "Approve requests/ My Inbox" application, but based on your business requirements you can decide as you would be consuming more time enhancing the application.

Simple BADI steps on approve requests may help you to achieve header/item details.

Standard Approve Purchase contracts fiori app doesn't provide "Reject" button.

If you are looking forward to enhance this app : you can look for adding this step as well :

Release of contract cancelled, Event name : RESET, BOR : BUS2014.

No. This is poor form by SAP and bad UX. Simple as that.

All the Fiori apps must have a consistent user experience or you are breaking the fundamental rule of Fiori.

I consider this a bug.

I shold not have to switch to the approve request app just to get the reject button which each and EVERY other approve fiori app has the reject button.

Hi Myil,

"Approve" means "Release" Contract.

You never cancel the contract in real business, right?

Hi Masayuki,

Yes.But the client want the same as like PO in Fiori.

They want the rejection button also in Fiori.

How to make this by using the standard task 'TS20000172' in Workflow?

Please help me out.

Hi Myilraja,

Please ask your client about business process after reject.

How do they manage the rejected scenario in ERP?

Hi Masayuki,

In reject they want to stop the workflow.Nothing they will do it in back end for rejection.

Because the approver ask to do some activity related to contract it seems.

So only they are asking the rejection button.

Can you please guide me how to handle it in workflow.

Thanks,

Myil

Hi Myilraja,

It is business process definition issue. If there is no follow-on process defined after reject, it does not make a sense. If they prefer offline activities, approver can keep the workitem in inbox and send email to contract agent to update the contract. When contract updated, old workitem is canceled and approver will get new workitem.

If you want to model the follow-on process after reject, you can copy the standard workflow template and enhance it. For UI side, you can use UI extension points to add reject button.

Please use new SAP Fiori Launchpad

Hi Masa,

If you are indeed with the SAP Customer Experience Group, then you would understand that UX and standardisation is very important. So why does the approve contracts app not have the ability to reject the request yet every other approve... fiori app does?

Hi Jason.

I have Procurement(MM/SRM) consulting background for 10 years. Contracts are agreement with external suppliers and releasing contract is a job for contract manager. I would say "Release" is better term than "Approve". Regarding the reject button, main point is not UX. Main point is that "Reject" process does not exist in contract life cycle.
