Vekat,
You can use a check function module to restrict the triggering of the
workflow for all the 4 steps.

Hi Workflow gurus,
I am working on Purchase Requisition workflows. I am able to send the
work-item when step release is done. But after the final release, a
work-item has to go to the originator of workflow. For this i have created
a task with Business object BUS2105 and "Released" as the triggering event.
This is working fine but with a problem. The problem is the workitem is
appearing in the inbox of originator as many times as the total release
steps. i.e. if the PR is having 4 step release codes before final release,
4 workitems are appearing in the inbox of originator. How to restrict it to
one work-item.
Thanks in advance,
Venkat

My personal recomendation is not bother with the user exit but just copy the
original worklfow and the approval step, and then change your copy of the
approval step, remove the default role, pop it in your workflow and then use
whatever role (of whatever type) you like.

Subject: Purchase Requisition Approval Role Resolution User Exit (M06B0001)
Examples
 
I am looking for some examples of how to code the user-exit M06B0001 for
purchase requisition approval workflow role resolutions. Currently I
have
my approval strategies working with the standard workflow configured in
table T16FW. However, I used Jobs for each level of release codes to
minimize the configuration I had to do (L1 - Supervisor, L2 - Manager,
L3-VP, L4 - President). I am using the org chart (without HR). The
problem
I am having is that when it sends the work item to a L1 approval - all
users
with the job of Supervisor is getting the work items. I would like this
to
go to the requisitioners supervisor only. I am using the overall
release
strategy and I am on SAP 4.6c.
 
Is this as simple as creating a new rule such as a Responsibilty rule
(if I
change my mind and want the workitems to flow based on cost center) or
using
a pre-configured responsible agent assignment and calling this rule from
the
user-exit using code similar to the program ZTESTRULE in the Practical
Workflow book (page 275)?
 
If anyone can provide examples of how they have done this at their
company,
that would be a big help.
 
Regards,
Rita
