EBP 4.0 - Changing/Adding Shopping Cart Approvers

[Martinek, Jerry]

Hi Jocelyn,
 
I ran the test as suggested for TS10008126 and TS10008214 using function
module BBP_PDH_WFL_APPROVER_DISPLAY.
 
In my case, all tests returned an EV_APPROVER_ASSIGNMENT of 'G' for general.
It seems to be executing the default workaround logic for n-step approval
workflows. The reason is that the 'lv_step' value is initial.
 
Should I be logging this with OSS?
 
Thanks,
Jerry Martinek

Hi Jerry,
In current releases the "change approver" option looks at who has been
assigned as possible agents of the relevant approval task.
 
There was a change made for the spending limit approval workflow to control
this further - there's an OSS note with the details (try searching on that
workflow number) but it only relates to that workflow.
 
So far as I understand your config settings yes you should be seeing the
list of possible agents assigned to tasks TS10008126 and TS10008214
respectively. The fact that you are getting a list of users at all (rather
than a search screen only which is what you get if your tasks are marked as
general) suggests that the system is picking up on them.  Are you sure the
role you have assigned isn't assigned to those users - perhaps it's linked
to another composite/single role and is picking up users from both?
 
Try testing function module BBP_PDH_APPROVER_DISPLAY with your task to check
who it is picking up and why.
 
And you'll be glad to know that SAP have added two BADIs for controlling the
change approver lists in SRM 4.0.

Hi,
 
HELP!
 
I've spent numerous desperate hours trying to figure out how to
control/understand the list of possible users for the Shopping Cart 'Find'
function when 'Replacing' system derived shopping cart approvers and when
adding an additional approval shopping cart step.
 
I've tried debugging the shopping cart code and the Abap code called from
the applet but it's taking too long because it's not that easy to follow.
 
The tasks (WS14000133-TS10008126/WS10000271-TS10008214) are both assigned to
a particular role and they are not general tasks. Yet when I execute the
'Find' function, the system returns a list of possible users that are not
assigned to that particular role.
 
My expectation/wish is that you should only be able to see the users that
are assigned to the particular role when the 'Find' function is executed. Is
this not correct or did I forget a configuration step somewhere or is the
code not working properly?
 
Thanks
