You can use AC Wf OR PC Wf, both work. We use AC Wf and use the 'N-Step BADI', I think of the N Step Badi as a giant hole in the middle of the SAP supplied templates (which I believe it is generally good advice to use), into which you can put your own Agent determination via Abap code. You need to start out being structured in the way you add code into this BADI or it will become a horrible complicated piece of spaghetti, We have a very, very good thing we call the Enhancement Explorer (not written by me) that brings fantastic structure to the code we add to Badi's, it basically creates a separate Class for each functional enhancement.</div>

All the background tasks work fine.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The UWL is a challenge, but not what brings me to posting today.<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b>It’s the danged dialog tasks.</b><u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">
I thought I would just keep it simple and use the SAP-delivered tasks for SC Approval and so on. The task (TS10008126, in this case) calls FORM HTMLPROCESS. That, in turn calls WDA/FPM – and of course, this is new territory for me. Please see the screen shot below for the WDA/FPM technical information.<u></u><u></u></p>

The problem is – there are no ‘Approve’ or ‘Reject’ buttons when you drill into the workitem! I know that once you drill into the workitem, you’ve left the control of the UWL and the corresponding XML. I have been through blogs and tutorials (is it ridiculous, or just plain wrong that I need to get an access key in order to follow through on a tutorial? That’s a question for another day).<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">I have looked in the IMG, and the only place I can see where I could configure what actions are available is Cross Application Basic Settings> Extensions and Field Control > Control Actions > Display Standard Metadata Tables for Actions on Header Level and Configure Control of Actions on Header Level. The ‘Display Standard Metadata…’ is a very busy screen with no existing entries for BUS2121 APPROVED or APPROVAL_IND (so I’ve left it alone). The section ‘Configure Control of Actions on Header Level’ seems promising, but even when I have created entries for BUS2121, it seems to have no impact on the WebDynPro app.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">I feel as though I am overlooking something quite obvious – I mean, shouldn’t an SAP Approval Task offer ‘Approve’ and ‘Reject’ right out of the box? And it doesn’t seem to matter which task I use – I was working with TS14508044 for a while but switched back to the older task. <u></u><u></u></p>
