<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">John,</font><br><br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">As one recommendation (and likely a
ham-handed approach) here are some things you can look at...</font><br><br><font size=2 face="sans-serif"><b>How would I provide the list of these
names to the 1st Approver, from within a decision task (the names would
be held in a custom table)</b></font><font size=3><b> </b></font><br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Look at business object WF_TASK - I
think the methods Dispatch or GetListAndDispatch provide some methods for
populating a popup with a list of agents that can be selected and read
back into the WF container for subesequent steps of the workflow.</font><br><br><font size=2 face="sans-serif"><br><b>How would you advise to provide a mechanism for the approver to provide
rejection reason text back to the claimant.</b></font><font size=3><b></b></font><br><font size=3>We do something similar, but with invoices. We have
a popup that reads the comments from the invoice and displays them in a
text popup. Approvers can enter new comments that can then be stored
with the invoice (in your case the trip). This way all the history
is stored with the invoice (trip).</font><br><br><font size=3>Function Modules:</font><br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">FITP_REQUEST_TABLES_READ - can be used
to get all the data from a trip request, including the "comments"
section</font><br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">FITP_UPDATE_REQUEST - can write comments
back into the request, but I think it also writes back a bunch of other
trip request data, so test this FM carefully. Trip comments are stored
in table FTPT_REQ_REASON.</font><br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">CATSXT_SIMPLE_TEXT_EDITOR - this FM
gives a popup with text. Once you have read the comments from the
request, call this FM and the popup can include all the comments and the
approver can enter further comments at bottom.</font><br><br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Either that, or use SOFM to make an
attachment to the workflow (instead of the trip request).</font><br><br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">You would have to glue all this together
in a custom method...<br></font><font size=4 color=#808000><b> </b></font><p><font size=4 color=#808000><b>Michael McLey</b></font><font size=3 color=#808000><b></b><br>MBUSI - IT Parts & Administration </font><font size=2 color=#808000><br>Mercedes-Benz US International, Inc.</font><font size=3 color=#808000></font><font size=2 color=#808000><br>1 Mercedes Drive</font><font size=3 color=#808000> </font><font size=2 color=#808000><br>Vance, AL 35490</font><font size=3 color=#808000> </font><font size=2 color=#808000><br>PHONE: (205) 462 - 5239</font><font size=3 color=#808000> </font><font size=2 color=#808000><br>EMAIL: michael.mcley@daimler.com</font><font size=3 color=#808000>
