<div>Greetings WUGgers</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The following is more to start a discussion that to get an answer to a specific technical problem. So, here it goes.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I've been dealing with this for about 10 years and I'm wondering if there's a better way.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>In a lot of workflows that I've built, the business wants escalation to stop once it reaches a certain position in the hierarchy. For example, don't go higher than the CFAO or the Director of HR. Or, if the user requestion leave, travel, training, etc is the CFO/CFAO then the approval is different than for other users.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I've used a variety of ways to do this including the following</div>
<div> </div>
<div>1. Hard-code the position(s) within the workflow (bad, very bad)</div>
<div>2. Hard-code the position(s) within an ABAP method (still very bad)</div>
<div>2. Use a Z-table to store the position(s) in question and read that table from WF</div>
<div>3. Use table TVARVC (or TVARV)</div>
<div>4. I saw a customer once use table T77S0 to save the position(s).</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Are there other significantly different options out there?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The main dilemma is that the CFO/CFAO position is most likely NOT the same in DEV, QA and Prod.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Cheers</div>
