<div>Sue,</div>

<div>Once shopping cart is approved it means that all the approvals have been done. I had exactly same requirement as yours with a small twist though. In std EBP, upon final approval of the cart, the WF status is set to 'Approved' and a backend document is created in R/3 and the SC is available for view in sourcing cockpit. The requirement we had was that the status of workflow must be approved but no backend document should be created. A buyer in the sourcing cockpit ( we use a shoppingg cart monitor for buyers to review the SCs) will decide which line items of the different SCs need to be converted into PO.
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I developed a custom workflow to avoid using BBP_PD_SC_STATUS_CHANGE_WF instead a used custom code to set the Workflow status to 'Approved' from 'Awaiting Approval'. In shopping cart monitor when converting to PO we cloned REQ REQ functionality to create backend document.
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I ensured that I never set workflow status to 'Released' since the REQREQ job will create yet another backend document.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I had to this because in 3.5 we do not have line item conversion to PO. I used all ebp FMs in the workflow to avoid any core mods. If we upgrade I would change the start conditions to the SAP released workflow.<br><br>
Hope this helps.</div>
