SRM/EBP Approval preview and java applet

[Dart, Jocelyn]

Hi Dave,
Please take this up through OSS.
 
Apart from that if you are using a custom workflow make sure:
 
* You are using ad hoc agent objects to determine your agents,
do not use rules directly as this limits the functionality available
especially during approval preview and can have knock on effects in the display
 
* Mark any steps you have added that are not approval steps as "step not
in workflow log" - the applet display is based on the graphical workflow
log and unexpected steps can cause unexpected effects in the applet display
 
* Make sure you follow the same pattern based approach if you are adding extra
approval steps, e.g. make sure the approval step itself has the same group
name as the other approval steps

Subject: SRM/EBP Approval preview and java applet
 
 
Hi group,
 
Does anyone have any info on what the different icons are and mean that are
displayed in the SRM EBP shopping cart approval preview java applet ?
 
We are having a few issues with the java applet and the display of some extra
steps titled 'Approval of shopping cart' when the workflow is in fact
completed. We are on 3.0 of SRM support pack 11, basis 610 support pack 23.
 
Also there is an OSS note that has the recommended workflow design for this
applet. Does anyone know what the note number is ? Can't seem to find it in
SAPNet.
 
Thanks in advance
Dave
