color=#0000ff size=2>Ok Jerry - Well your *HUGE* mistake was directly reading
tables in SRM. That's a no-no - why? Because of course if the shopping cart
isn't saved yet or you are in the middle of changing it all the "real" data is
in buffers and not yet actually in the database tables.

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=923284809-06092005><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>Use BBP_PD_SC_GETDETAIL - that will correctly read the
buffers or the database tables depending on the situation/where the
shopping cart is currently. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=923284809-06092005><FONT face=Arial

BE_TRACKING_NO in the item table. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN lang=EN-CA
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">I’ve extended BUS2121 by adding a
new attribute (ReqTrackingNumber) which is populated from table
bbp_pdbei-be_tracking_no (linked to via the guid from table crmd_orderadm_i).
The actual field is called ‘Requirement Tracking Number’ and in part of the
‘Basic Data’ screen. </SPAN></FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN lang=EN-CA
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">When tested using SWO1 it works as
expected. When the SC is ‘Ordered/Saved’ it also works fine. However, on
approval preview prior for new or held shopping carts, the new attribute isn’t
being populated because the BADI isn’t deriving the correct approvers. It
appears the new code isn’t being executed. </SPAN></FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN lang=EN-CA
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">I’m guessing that the table entry
isn’t populated prior to the cart being saved and that is why the role
resolution logic isn’t being executed. Can someone help me by telling me where I
can find this information (requirement tracking number) prior to the cart being
saved? It’s not available in BBP_PD_SC_GETDETAIL.</SPAN></FONT></P>
