EBP Confirmation Workfllow

[Nicholas Brand]

Jocelyn,
 
That's great, thank you.
 
The key function module you provided was META_PO_GETDETAIL for finding PO
info in the back-end system.
 
Using function module BBP_PD_CONF_GETDETAIL with the confirmation number as
input, I extract the back-end logical system and back-end PO number. Then
using function module META_PO_GETDETAIL with input of PO number, back-end
logical system and Services = X (!) I examine the returned field
PO_ITEMS-ITEM_CAT. If this has a value of '9' the PO relates to a limit
order in the EBP front-end system.
 
Just for info we are on EBP 3.5 with a back-end SAP system on 4.5c using
the classic scenario.
 
 
Kind regards,
Nicholas

Nicholas,
You don't say what version of EBP or what deployment (classic, extended
classic, standalone, standalone light).
 
To read the confirmation use BBP_PD_CONF_GETDETAIL.
Get the purchase order/item from the confirmation header
or if you need to backend reference object(PO)/item/subitem from the item
level
 
Use BBP_PD_PO_GETDETAIL for purchase orders in SRM
META_PO_GETDETAIL for purchase orders in the backend (make sure you put
parameter services=X)
 
Both of these will return a table of the limits for that po.
 
No need to go back to the shopcart.
 
Jocelyn.

Hello.
 
I'm creating a custom confirmation approval workflow in EBP that must only
be started if the confirmation is against a limit order and not a shopping
basket. At this client shopping baskets are already automatically approved
using the standard auto-approval workflow - I won't explain why!
 
For the start conditions of the custom workflow I need to create a custom
attribute flag against BUS2203 that indicates when the confirmation is
against a limit order.
 
I can use the function module BBP_PD_SC_GETDETAIL and examine the output
table 'e_item', the field ITM_TYPE equals 'LIMI' for limit orders.
However this function module uses the limit order number as its input. So
if I'm going to use this function module I need to find the limit order
given the confirmation number of the BUS2203 business object instance.
 
Any ideas or function modules that would provide me with the limit order
number given the confirmation number?
If you've done this sort of thing in an alternative way I'd also be
interested.
 
 
Kind regards,
Nicholas
