BId needs approval work flow

[Former Member]

Hi SRM gurus,

We are working on SRM 5.5

I created bid responce to the invitatation through txn process bid ie just mentioned the price and when i click on check button system is throwing the error as No approval workflow found. Inform system administrator.

I checked in oocu tnx corresponding workflow WS 79000010 Workflow without approval for bid is activated,and no other workflow is activated(like one step).

Can any one help me what could be the possible reason and how can rectify the issue.

Thanks in advance,

Hi Reddy,

For the business object BUS2202, for the workflow WS7900010 , the event "to be accepted" is to be active.

Please check this workflow WS7900010 with the transaction code SWUD and find out the error.

Your workflow is not triggered is wht it mean for creating a bid for the bid invitation you received.

Hi Reddy,

The message you are mentioning is an information message. Are you getting all greens for your workflow template in SWUD if you test ?

There can be many reasons for your workflow not being triggered.

Since you are already in the SWDD, Please try these steps.

1) In Heaader, Check for the triggering events in SWDD which should have your business object name.

2) Check for the Versions which are active in which the workflow activated for your number or not.

3) Check for the start conditions in SWB_COND in which you need to define if you have the FM SWB_CHECK_FB_START_COND_EVAL in the SWETYPV transcation for your workflow template.

4) Try to do SWU_OBUF synchronize buffer also before testing the WF again.

If any of these fail then your workflow may not trigger.

First try to give even wrong values so that your workflow is triggered or it may say as ambigous so that it is easy to solve.

Best regards,

Hi Sridhar,

I appriciate ur interest in solving the issue,i checked all just by going through the steps mentioned and i found everything is fine.

Lastly as u said to activate the wrong values also i activated the workflow WS79000002(one step approval) and checked the bid,surprisingly there were no errors.

I don't how it got solved by the activation of one step approval.

Anyways thanks very much for ur help.

regards..

suma.
