<DIV>Hi Jocelyn,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I can see that approval workflow restart when we change A/c assignment details or product category....This is happening as new shopping cart(new entries /v EBP2.0) has been creating in system for above changes.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>

Jocelyn,<BR><BR>I was thinking to raise custom events when master data on the R/3 side <BR>changes, for example, Profit Center, which usually means a re-org, and <BR>in that case, new approvers. The Events under the workflow header, <BR>version dependent tab, would seem to be able to do this 'Reevaluate <BR>Rules of Active Workitems', but of course, seeing is believing.<BR><BR>I am interested in whole Shopping Cart Approvals via the BAdi, not Item <BR>Approval.

As for the BAdi, it may <BR>prove challenging, as our business process calls for certain approvers <BR>(at 'level 1') to be able to 'restart' approvals at the point where the <BR>last rejection occurred, or 'begin anew'. The BAdi would need to take <BR>this into consideration.
