SRM 4.0 (EBP 5.0) n step item level - WF - WS14500015 - Approval Index Issue

[Paul Borriello]

Hi:

I am not sure if this is a Shopping Cart Approval BADI, BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI,
issue or an issue with WS14500015, n-step item level WF, used for Shopping
Cart.

Example:

Shopping Cart with Two Line Items -

Line Item 1 	Approval by the Product Category Manager - Approval Level 1,
        	 	Approval by the Cost Center Manager - Approval Level 2.

Line Item 2  	Does not have a Product Category Manager - No Approval -
Approval Level 1,
             	Approval by the Cost Center Manager - Approval Level 2.


In the SRM Shopping Cart Line Item Approval WF, only Line Item 1, Product
Category Manager at Approval Level 1, is receiving the approval work item.
The Cost Center Manager for Line Item 2, is dependent on the approval of the
Product Category Manager for line item 1 , before receiving his work item.

Since this is line item approval, I assumed that each line item could be
approved at each approval level, independent of the other line item's
approval levels.

I am also assuming that I can not mix approval objects ( Product Category,
Cost Centers, Inventory) on the same Approval level.

Any thoughts or solutions on how to correct this issue would be greatly
appreciated.
