SRM/EBP 4.0 Parallel workflows for shopping carts status ?

[David Weston]

Thanks Jocelyn, I wasn't going to use them until told they were
official....honest :). I saw the line item approval for EBP 5.0 in the help
portal...that's exactly what I need here.....rats !!
 
OK looks like we will go with a sequential process using the WS14000133 workflow
and an implementation of the BADI BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI.
 
Thanks for the help and guidance as always
 
Cheers
Dave
