Role resolution of AC00000157 question

[Shane Burns]

Thanks for your reply Nicholas,
 
would the extension of the function module require much more coding, or has
anyone else out there extended the FM to keep going up the Org Structure
until it finds a position that is assigned to a user/person???
I don't have any coding experience in ABAP, but I am hoping the extension
would require me copying the role and FM and adding the extra code??
 
Thanks,

Shane,
 
Yup you're right, you'll need to extend the function of the FM.
 
Essenitally, check if the position returned by the FM has user(s) assigned
to it and if not, carry on going up a level in the org structure until a
position with user(s) assigned is found.
You may also need to look at the issue of who should approve the managing
director's (i.e. the top guy's) expenses.
 
 
Kind regards,
Nicholas

Subject:    Role resolution of AC00000157 question
 
 
Hi all,
 
We are on 4.6C here, and I have a question regarding the role resolution of
AC00000157 ( Superior Chief Position ), function - RH_ACT_LEADING_POSITION.
 
Currently we are using this role in a custom trip expenses workflow, it
finds the leading (chief) position of the workflow initiator, and takes the
user attached to this position to use as the actual agent to send the work
item to.
 
However, in our company there is sometimes a leading position that may not
have a user assigned to it for whatever reason, this results in all
possible agents getting the work item!!!
Will I have to copy and modify the role so that it will go up the org
structure and look for the next chief position that does have a user
assigned to it???
 
I am a workflow novice, and I couldn't find any documentation for this
particular role, I would be very grateful for any pointers.
 
Thanks in advance.
 
Shane Burns,
Bank Of Ireland,
Dublin.
