EBP - Confirmation approval screen

Hi Nicholas,
Hmmm... Check you have the current confirmation workflows - their id numbers all start with 104...
You can only change account assignment on service/limit items (and not on goods items)
so I assume that's what you are dealing with.
 
BBP_WFL_SECURITY should control whether the confirmations can be changed in BBPCF04 but of course the transaction
itself controls exactly what is changeable in different scenarios.  So you might be out of luck if the developers have not allowed for your scenario. In which case they need to reject it and get the confirmation creator to correct it.  It's been a couple of months since I played with this as our guys changed their mind about using it after all for other reasons.
 
Suggest if you are sure you have the correct workflows you put a query in OSS and get support to confirm if there is any option for an approver to change those particular fields.

Jocelyn,
 
Thank you for the reply.
 
They were set to 'Low'. I changed them to 'Medium' and then 'High', created
another confirmation, logged on as the approver but could not change the
quantity or value on the confirmation approval screen (BBPCF04).
On all settings (L/M/H) the approver can change the 'Assigned to' fields
(e.g. cost centre) but nothing else.
 
Does the BBP_WFL_SECURITY setting determine whether confirmations can be
changed from the approval screen (trans BBPCF04) or just how the workflow
reacts when a confirmation is changed (in the background say)?
If the latter, do you know what allows changes to be made via trans
BBPCF04?
 
Thanks again.
 
 
Nicholas

Hi Nicholas,
Try the BBP Workflow Security settings in the "Personalization" area of the
user master.
If you haven't touched them yet they will still be on "None" - you want at
least "Low" to be
able to change things.
You can set these in the security role and override at the user level if
need be.
Jocelyn.

Hi,
 
We're using EBP 3.5 with a 4.5b R/3 back-end.
 
In our system confirmations are being created by a program.
The creation of the confirmation triggers a workflow.
The shopping cart requester receives the workitem.
When the workitem is executed the requester sees the 'Approve Confirmation'
screen.
In this screen the quantity and net price are greyed-out.
 
Is there a way to allow the approver to change these values before
approving the changed confirmation?
 
I wondered if it's an authorisation/attribute setting.
 
Alternatively is there an alternative approval screen or would it be a case
of building our own?
 
Thanks!
 
 
Kind regards,
Nicholas Brand
