Purchase Requsition workflow - Approver selection

[Hofstede, Anke (AU - Sydney)]

Alternatively you can enhance the standard purchase requisition release
strategy with user exits.

Step 1. Build a functionality in user exit exit_saplebnd_001 (M06B0002)
to store the chosen user/position/etc in communication structure CEBAN
user field.

Step 2. Use user exit exit_saplebnf_001 (M06B0001) to determine the
agent based on the communication structure. 

 

Kind regards,

In order to not go to the inbox, one easy possibility is to use a
z-transaction code.  The first part of the Z-transaction is to do the
call transaction to me51n.  Right after that do the function module
pop-up for the approver and then use SWE_EVENT_CREATE to trigger your
workflow.

 

Alternatively, have your folks create a customer field for approver on
the me51n transaction with the appropriate drop-downs.

 

With regards,

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
