<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=717392318-23082006><FONT color=#000080>We've
also done something similar with a User Defined Status on Sales Quotes.
With a user status defined in SD configuration that can only be set to Approved
by the Batch User (WF-BATCH), you can create a method to change the status once
the approval is received. We've defined a multi-level approval workflow
based on dollar value that once approved, changes the user status to approved
which then allows it to be delivered or billed.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

user statuses, it is also possible to define defaults so that an order (or

<DIV></DIV>Vali:<BR> <BR>We've done this by using the 'Delivery
Block' field (VBAK-LIFSK). Define some new codes that will not let the
Order to be used and, after the approval process, you can clear this field (if
the SO was approved).<BR> <BR>The problem is that is not possible to set a
delivery block automatcaly when the order is created, so the first <FONT
size=+0>WF step is to set this value. After this, the approval process will
start.</FONT><BR> <BR>Another option that I can think is
to create a form with all necessary fields to create the Sales Order. Send
this form to be approved and, if it is approved, create the sales order with the
form data (via BAPI).<BR> <BR>Regards,<BR>Flávio.<BR><BR><BR><BR><BR>

sap-wug@mit.edu<BR>Subject: approve a sales order<BR><BR>
<DIV>hello,<BR>I have a question.<BR>I have to build a workflow that will
approve a sales order.<BR>any ideas how can i do that ?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>There is not an proper event in BUS2032. It can be modified by a
delegation. yes, there is no problem in these way.<BR>The problem is other,
and I belive it can be extended to all kinds of 'approval' workflow that does
not stand on an existing business process in this way. <BR>After a sales order
is created, the user click on the save button. this will trigger the workflow,
no problem until now. But, i don't want the sales order to be created until it
is approved. As I know, SAP don't deal with a status management with sales
order as it is the case with production order, for example. <BR>So, if an
sales order will not be approved, the workflow will have to delete the sales
order, and this is a behaviour that i want to avoid because the things get
complicated. <BR>how can i do a sales order and not save it, so I can approve
it later ? and the same problem i will have with the delivery and the
invoice.... <BR>Thanks</DIV></BLOCKQUOTE><BR>
