<DIV><SPAN class=228240618-16122005><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've been reviewing
the functionality of the item-based approval for shopping carts and
a couple of things aren't clear to me:</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=228240618-16122005><FONT face=Arial

<DIV><SPAN class=228240618-16122005><FONT face=Arial size=2>1. I noticed
that the ITEM_APPROVAL_OBJ parameter (Assignment of Approval Objects to Approval
Criteria) for badi BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI only allows for 3 criteria. So
unlike the n-level workflow, is the item-based workflow limited to only 3 levels
or am I missing something?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=228240618-16122005><FONT face=Arial size=2>2. At the end
of the IMG documentation for the badi it states, "Note that there must be
<B>absolutely no gaps</B> in the approval steps and that approvers must be
defined for every step." This seems contradictory to some of the
other documentation I've been reading. In my scenario, all items would
require an approval at the first level, but for the second and third levels only
some or possibly none of the items may require an approval. So in a case
where only a first level and third level approval is required, the
item-based workflow won't work?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
