Hi Jacelyn,

I have a related question which is how do I get a list of the different
statuses and what they mean? I've looked and found the status table but
I
haven't been able to find a description of what they mean or when
they're
set.

Thanks,
Jerry

Raju,
Under no circumstances should you modify the status to a custom status!

EBP uses the statuses to determine what can/cannot happen to the
document.  Putting your own statuses into the mix is likely to have
serious and unexpected side-effects.   This sort of stuff is also likely
to invalidate your maintenance agreement.

In practice your shopping cart should go to "approved" status while it
is waiting for the po to be created.  Check your approval workflow has
finished completed.   In the check status results list the user can
expand the shop cart to see the items and whether a purchase order has
been created yet.

Hi Raju,
 Not sure whether this will work. Have a look at function
BBP_PD_SC_STATUS_CHANGE.

I am curious to read that you had modified EBP shopping cart workflow.

I just want to ask you whether you faced any problem with 'Approval'
preview from SRM portal. When I created my own with copy of SAP
template, the preview was not working as expected.

Thanks

Hi,
 I had to modify EBP shopping cart workflow.
Although the cart is approved by all apporvers the workflow status is
still 'Awaiting approval' until a backend doument is created in R/3.
 Is there a way to change the status 'Awaiting approval' to user defined
status before it hits the backend R/3?
 Thanks
Raju
