Purchase Requsition workflow - Approver selection

[Sathish Venkatesan]

Thanks Partha, Anke for your suggestions.

I'll try to use user exit and let me see how it goes. Ztransaction creation and calling workflow through program may not suit this client as we
don't want to change the standard release procedure event creation for purchase requisition.

Regards,
Sathish

  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,

  Partha

  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!
