EBP 4.0 - Modelled Deadines for N-Step Approvals WS14000133

[Martinek, Jerry]

I was referring to the export parameter EV_TASK_TO_INSERT of function module
BBP_WFL_DIN_APPR_BY_RULE_GET. It contains the name of the anchor task for
the shopping cart business object.
 
I'm not sure why they are initializing it with the name of the 'Approval
Fragment For Anchor' workflow (WS10000271). I'm assuming that it is there
for a reason so if I copy all of the required workflows for the N-Step
shopping cart approval workflow, I'll need to replace WS10000271 with my own
workflow. The required workflows are WS14000133, WS14000134 and WS10000271.
 
The 'Task' container value that you're referring to is used in some checks
within the function module that eventually point you to the BADI for
deriving approvers.
 
Thanks,
Jerry Martinek

Hi Jerry,
Look for a container element called "TASK" in the subflow.  You'll see
this has an initial value that indicates the workflow id.  This is then
passed to the routine that gets the next approver.  If you want your own
custom workflow you just have to make sure you do the same in your
workflow passing the "official" workflow id in the TASK element.

Hi,
 
Has anyone implemented modelled deadlines for the N-Step Approvals
WS14000133 workflow?
 
If you have, did you change the SAP workflows (WS14000134/WS10000271) or
did
you copy the SAP workflows and then coremod function
BBP_WFL_DIN_APPR_BY_RULE_GET to insert the new name for the 'Approval
Fragment For Anchor' workflow or did you find a different way of doing
it.
 
My understanding is that you shouldn't alter SAP workflows so if you
have a
need for modelled deadlines, you copy and modify accordingly. The issue
is
that the name of the 'Approval Fragment For Anchor' workflow is
hardcoded in
the named function module.
 
Thanks,
