WF with 3 levels of approval

[Dart, Jocelyn]

Hi Gonzalez,
Just to add to Myra's reply.
Your new ad hoc agent object (i.e. equivalent of ASBMANAGER or
ASBMANOFMA) for your 3rd approver needs to contain code to=20
calculate the 3rd approver.=20
 
This is contained in the Create method of your new object.
 
The approvers are calculated at the start of the workflow.=20
So you can't create the 3rd approver based on the 2nd approver
for example.  You need to calculate from scratch. =20
Look at the coding in the ASBMANAGER and ASBMANOFMA to get the
idea. =20
 
If you need to reference additional information from the shopping
basket, you will also see the macro calls to get the workflow
container element ReqReq (object instance of BUS2121) and=20
then retrieve attributes of the instance.=20
 
If you haven't done workflow coding before you might need to get
hold of a workflow programmer to help.
 
Above all you MUST create your object type as a subtype of AAGENT.
Otherwise the workflow will not calculate the approver.=20
 
Hope that helps.
Regards,
Jocelyn.

For all approval levels after two you have to create a new object in =
the
BOR.
 It will be similar to ASBMANAGER and ASBMANOFMA.  Their super type =
will
be
AAGENT.
You have access to these objects in the WF container via Agent_0001 and
Agent _0002.
Your third approver will be Agent_0003 in your WF_Container.

        Hi,
 
        We are implementing BBP 20B (EBP 1.0).
 
        We have created a 3 level approval workflow using the wizard
tool
provided in customizing.  We compared our custom workflow
        with template workflow WS10000031 (two levels of approval) and
we
realized task TS70007964 'Initialize adhoc agents' was missing so we
added
it manually  to our workflow definition.
        The two first levels of approval are working ok, determining =
the
manager of the corresponding organizational unit.  At 3rd level the
        workflow doesn't find an appropiate approver, so the work item
is
sent to the BBP admin user.
 
        Please help.
