<div>Hello All :</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>I have an other question related to the BRF workflow . When the Shopping Cart is completely rejected ( all line items rejected ) by an approver , the shopping cart turns out to be non-editable and the workflow is completed . </div>
<div><br></div>
<div>But at the same , if the SC got 2 items , item 1 is approved and item 2 is rejected , then work item is sent to the SC creator to take some action .</div>
<div>Is this the Standard system behavior ? . </div>
<div><br></div>
<div>What I am looking for is when the SC is fully rejected , it should give the capability to the requester to edit and resubmit it.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Can anybody please shed some light on this issue ?</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Your time and effort is highly appreciated in this matter.</div>
<div><br></div>

<div style="FONT-FAMILY:times, serif;FONT-SIZE:12pt;">
<div>Hello Ramki , </div>
<div>Thank You for your response . </div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Is there a way through coding/customization , to create decision sets at item level so that for example when the line item 1 is approved , it does not have to wait for item 2 ? . Basically , what I am looking for is , item 1 status should be changed to "Approved" so that follow-on documents will be created.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div style="FONT-FAMILY:times new roman, new york, times, serif;FONT-SIZE:12pt;">Or Shall I use any BAPI to change the status or write custom method to change the item's system status to "approved " ?.</div>
<div style="FONT-FAMILY:times new roman, new york, times, serif;FONT-SIZE:12pt;"><br></div>
<div style="FONT-FAMILY:times new roman, new york, times, serif;FONT-SIZE:12pt;">Any ideas or suggestions welcome. </div>
