handling several purchasing groups in LIV-process

[Martijn Wever]

Peter,
 
One option would be to:
1. Create a workflow that models the approval steps that each of the PGs
would follow.
2. Create your main WF that contains the task with the function module that
retrieves all PGs and fills a multiline container element in the workflow
3. Add a second task in the main WF that points to the 'approval' WF of step
1 and enter your multiline container element in the 'Other' tab page under
'Dynamic parallel processing'
 
If the main workflow is triggered it will start an approval sub-workflow for
every PG your functionmodule found.
 
 
Met vriendelijke groet / Regards,

Subject: handling several purchasing groups in LIV-process
 
 
Hello workflowers,
 
I've following problem:
 
1. An invoice gets blocked in LIV-Process. The invoice has multiple
positions related to different purchase orders.
 
2. A function module should identify all purchasing groups, which are set at
the material master contained in different invoice positions.
   (A programmer would write this function module for me.)
 
3. The workitems should be send to the identified purchasings groups (users)
for check and release. (Release of the invoice document not until all users
made their decisions)
 
My questions: Is it possible to handle multiple purchasing groups in one
workflow?
                 If yes, how should I pass the p.g. to the activities? And
what should the p.g.-export parameter look like (table or different
parameters?).
 
I'm not very familiar with the possibilities in this case.
Your help is highly apreciated!
 
Greets,
Peter Korman
