Step agents - superior of superior.

[Ernest Liczki]

Hi all,
 
I need something very similar, but for the purchase requisition release WF.
 
The scenario is:
 
1. The first level approval (release code 01) is done by the user A (more
users possible from the organization - solved by the user exit - enhancement
M06B0001).
 
2. The second level has to be done by his superior B.
 
3. And so on, the next level by the superior of the previous superior - user
C.
 
The problem is that the WS00000038 (Workflow for requisition release) is
started every time as a new instance with new release code and therefore the
(_WI_ACTUAL_AGENT) could not be used for the next level determination.
 
I believe that the best solution is to find the previous agent from the PR
release history.
Did anybody of you try to find that last user released the PR, is there any
suitable function module for that or rather I have to start my own ABAP
coding ?
 
Thank you very for your help.
 
Best regards,
 
Ernest

Hi Abby
 
You could bind the actual agent (_WI_ACTUAL_AGENT) of the step 1 dialog
workitem back into the workflow container.  To do this, you would need to
create a workflow container element of data type
WFSYST-ACT_AGENT.   You would then bind this workflow container element into
the agent assignment of your next task.

        Hi all -
 
        I am trying to figure out how to get the superior of a superior to
be an
        agent of a step.  My workflow goes something like this.
 
        Step 1 - Assigned agent - superior of workflow initiator
 
        Step 2 - Assigned agent - superior of superior.
 
        Step 3 - Assigned agent - superior of superior of superior.
 
        Unfortunately, I can't use positions to do this because the
initiator will
        be at all different levels.  I'm trying to figure out how to read
the
        superior from Step 1 into the workflow container to use to determine
the
        superior in the Step 2.  Does anyone have any suggestions as to how
I can
        do this?
 
        Any help would be appreciated - I've been playing with standard
roles
        trying to do this but I'm wondering if it will require a custom
role...
 
        Thanks so much!
