Hi,
 
I am working on an EBP implemntation.
I've got the single level shopping cart approval workflow (WS 10000129)
working beautifully!
 
I'm now trying to configure the 2 stage approval workflow in EBP - WS
10000276.
I have maintained the attribute SLAPPROVER in the org structure at position
level for the relevant users.
I have also set the spending limit and the approval limt in the relevant
roles for the users (in the personalisation tab)
I have maintained the starting conditions so that the spending limit
workflow is started:
ReqtCovRequest.TotalValue > ReqtCovRequest.RequestedUser.ValueLimit ==>
start WS10000276
 
This is all exactly as per OSS note 397345 (Example for how to customise
spending limit approval).
 
When I save a shopping basket the WF is started correctly but no agents are
found for the approval step (the first dialogue task in the WF).
If, before I order the basket, I add an approver to the workflow via the
adhoc function then the approval step is sent to this adhoc approver.
 
Is there something else that needs configuring so that the workflow finds
the rights user to send whom to send the approval workitem?
 
The responsible agents for the approval task is set via an expression '
&Agents_001.agents&'. The container element 'Agents_001' is based on the
object 'ASBMANOFSL'. In the triggering event to workflow binding there is
no value assigned to the 'Agents_001' workflow container element in the SAP
standard workflow. If this is correct, I am unsure how the expression '
&Agents_001.agents&' get populated.
I tried testing and debugging the object 'ASBMANOFSL' but when I tried to
instantiate the object it prompted me for the key of the object which is of
type 'guid in 'CHAR' format in uppercase'. I haven't determined which guid
is required.
 
We are using EBP 2.0c against a SAP 4.6c backend.
Oh yes, and of course I have refreshed the run-time buffer!
 
Thank you all - any pearls of wisdom much appreciated
 
 
Best wishes,
Nicholas
