Appropriation Request - project activate issue

[Former Member]

Hello friends,

Request your help in completing the task below-

I m trying to create a project via Appropriation Request (AR) from IM. I have started creating a AR via IMA11, entered all details like, plan costs, Applicant, Approver, IM program position and ID, then later I APPROVED the AR (the status was showing approved), but when I tried to create project /WBS in ‘Measures/Asset’ tab, I found both the fields are DISABLED. I tried a lot to bring them to enable form but was un-successful.

Please let me know what could be done to bring them the Activate mode.

Thanks for your help.

Hi Sumanth,

In AR type config, check whether WBS is allowed measure and project profile is maintained.

Hi Ankur /Srikant,

Thanks for your responses.

Ankur - In OITL, all fields are basically checked. About, making field editable in SHD0, do you really think it is required. I feel, there might be some settings in SPRO itself which makes the field enable. Please let me know if there is any info.

Srikant - I have checked the AR type config, and in Allowed Measures, WBS is checked (screen print below), also the project profile is maintained.

Please what would have went wrong.

Hi Sumanth,

How did you approve the AR? Is the status approved or for approval? Do you get any message when you try to create WBS?

I feel that your AR is pending in workflow for approval, hence it is not allowing you. Please check and confirm.

Hi Shrikant,

I went to the 'Control' tab of IMA11 and approved it. It gave me a message 'Appropriation request was proposed for approval' and I saved the AR. Now the status of the AR is 'For Approval'

As per your guess, It might be pending for approval in WorkFlow, can you please let me know how to approve it in work flow /SBWP?

Thanks for the help.

Hi Sumanth,

If your workflow settings are correct, notification must have gone to SAP inbox of Approver. Check in SAP inbox of approver and open the item & approve it. Further Approved status will be set in AR and you can create WBS.

Hi Shrikant,

That was an absolute right fix by you for the issue. I have requested approver to approve the request.

Thanks a lot for your help.

Sumanth.

Hi Sumanth,

                 Check in OITL whether there is any project relevant field and make it as 'Input'

OR

Try screen variant (SHD0) and make the field as Input/editable.
