Purchase Requsition workflow - Approver selection

[Chatterjee, Partha (US - San Ramon)]

We have done basically the same thing at my current client.

Design a function module with a pop-up displaying the user-names in question.  Allow the user to double-click on the item to select him/her.  Append this user to the agent list as an expression variable for the next step of the workflow.  This function module is put in your business object method for use in the workflow.
 
The express messaging can be turned off from a flag setting for the task in question by looking at the tab labelled 'Other' in the Activity.  Set the priority flag to something other than '1'.
 
With regards,
Partha

Subject: Purchase Requsition workflow - Approver selection


Hello all,
 
We are in the process of implementing Purchase Requisition Overall Release workflow.
There are 3 levels of Approval and the client wants each level approver to select next level approver
till its finally released. Also approver details are maintained in a custom table instead of org chart.
Thinking of having a custom method after each level of Approval\release to select the next approver.
 
But the real concern for me is the user who is creating the purchase requisition wants to select the 
first level approver immediately after creating purchase requisition. Thought of having a select agent 
activity in the first step of the workflow and assign wf initiator to that task,  but they don't want to go
SAP Inbox and select the agent either. 
 
Is there a way, so that a pop-up can be raised to select a approver immediately after creating a purchase requisition?
Also client does not like express workitem after purchase requisition creation. Let me know if any user exit can be used.
We are in SAP 46C (Patch level 47).
 
Thanks!
 
Sathish Venkatesan
