Forwarding to approver based on personnel no.

[Verma Ashish (TTL_LKO)]

Hi,
 
We are trying a scenario which is similar to the one discussed long time
back.
 
1. A Leave request is created through Business connector with absence create
bapi. Validation is done on Personnel number.
2. An RFC user is used to make connection to R/3.
3. When Leave request form is submitted the Absence record is getting
created in R/3 and workflow is getting initiated.
4. Now the problem is that how to forward this leave request to the manager
for approval. as the _wf_initiator is coming as the RFC user which makes
connection to R/3.
 
the manager is a sap user. Only the employee who is entering the leave entry
is not a sap user.
 
I would very much appreciate your input as to how to find the manager based
on personnel number of the user who is submitting the leave request instead
of rfc user.
 
 
Thanks very much in advance.
 
Regards
 
Ashish

Hi, Miles:
 
We are on 4.6C too. All our Extranet applications validate employees by
their personnel numbers. When interacting with SAP, the Extranet
applications use the personnel number, and within SAP, we maintain e-mail
addresses for everyone on the org structure in infotype 0105. Hope this
helps.
 
Regards

Hi all.
 
We have an intranet system where non SAP users can fill-up a request form
(e.g. for asset creation) and submit it to us. When they hit the submit
button, the form will trigger an event within R/3 via the ITS server.  I
want to send a confirmation email (via Outlook) to the user from the
workflow to confirm that his request has been received.  How can I do that?
I cannot use program RSWUWFML because the user does not exist in R/3.  Is
there other way?
 
Our system is on release 4.6C.
 
Thanks a lot.
