Approval of AR with out workflow

[surya_pampana2]

Hi frineds

We are using IM/PS. AR is created and follows the approval process.

Here we have no work flow. Now how the approval process can be followed.

I am aware that we can use the partner determination procedure but unable to go ahead.

As per the business process there are 4 appoval stages for each request. ( all the approval process is with the position, for each AR type. Example : General manger is the final approval postion, under this 10 general managere are there, whole will approve the AR with the AR type)

One more poin to add is in the partner function, if i use "S" for a postion, wher a group of person will be under a list for the ROLE for approval ............like 10 people under the "S" postion, i an unable to pick the ID in the AR. how can we group perople under the Group "Position"

Hope so i have put my question in a gud way

HI.

Sorry for the delayed reply.

i am stil exploring this.

i still feel........

we can assign few persons to one GROUP ( say a GM) , through which one can approve the request.

Whether we are using work flow or not is not a matter i suppose for the apprival process. work flow only triggers a mail to the contact person in his mail box. without work flow....this has to be done manually (to rajesh30)

postion S dont not have any control paramet???? (KRISAP, so y sap has provided many options????)

waiting for more inputs from experts, to close ths issue.

Thanks a lot to one and all for the inputs

HI Surya,

The standard functionality is, If we dont select the Workflow, AR approval can be done by any one because you dont have any authorization codes for AR approval in the Partner det procedure & schema.

Now, given "S" in the funtional configuration is similar to the Agent type "Position" in AR approvals. (Observe the agent type in activating event linkage & assigning agents)

The standard design itself depends upon workflow & it takes not much effort to activate workflow if it is a User who approves.

Your requirement can be met with Workflow by considering the Agent Types "ROLE or POSITION". Of course this requires ABAP intervention.

Ansered:

Solution:

HR module is not active, so only the Organisation position "S" is not being picked.

Using "PE" user list and picking from the list.

but still we are controlling the approval process through USER STATUS of Appropriation request with autorisation Key

Thanks a lot for all your inputs.

HI Surya,

Position "S" doesnot bear any control parameters. Its most likely to be an information field.

Your requirement so far I searched is only via User Status.

I meanwhile, of course, try re exploring your requirement.

Hi Surya,

I could interpret two conditions from your thread.

1. all the General Managers have to approve an AR.

In this case, your partner determination (which is specific to the AR type) should contain 10 levels under your 4th level. (4 to 13)

2. Any of the General Mangers amongst the 10 can approve AR.

In this case, it seems simple to add that particular user ID to the 4th level of approval.

In continuation with this, as I believe, "What is "S" you are referring to, in the Partner Det. Schema" ??

Thanks for the inputs

1. Your 2nd interpretation is on track.

A gropup of GM can approve , i mean any one of the group can approve.

How to group only these general managers? in the partner determination of the general data tab page, i want to select from the group only NOT FROM ID'S.

Regarding S:

I n the partner detmination function, there is a FUNCTION...NAME....No TPE..........

here in this we specify *type of partner number as 1. US-USER, 2. S-POSTION, 3. O-organisation unit and so on

if i give postion S, how to group all the GM usder one group

hope so i have put my question in a gud way

Thanks a lot

Hi,

As per my understanding when the workflow is not used for the approval of the AR then it can be approved manually by going to the control data tab page and that is a single click process i.e. Only one approval. Then what is the logic of adding 4 approval levels. Different approval level will only work in case of the workflow.

You can also check it in your system and confirm back.

The other thing you have mentioned is the 4 levels of approval and my understanding is GM group is the last level of approval. What about the other 3 levels?

Please elaborate on this

Thanks
