Query regd. SRM Workflow

Tue Dec 5 15:28:56 EST 2006

Vijay,

I don't know exactly how workflow calls this code but we had a
requirement to have dynamic approvals for invoices (not available as
standard in SRM 5.0).  Standard workflow was set up similarly where
agent assignment was based on workflow container which is based on
business object.  I have redefined method create in the delegated
subtype and my code was called.  So, one way or the other, SAP does call
this method.

As far as manager goes, debug through this code to see why it is not
finding it.  Not sure what else to suggest here.

Natasha

One more thing, the CREATE method of the business object APCOAGENT is
not called anywhere in the workflow WS14500019...so even if we implement
the BADI, how will it work...or am I missing something, where it is
called...

Regards,

Vijay

	Thanks for that vital piece of Info. natasha, but this manager
thing was hazy for me in this workflow. We maintained a manager for
creator of the purchase order, but the approval work item never went to
him....that's why this whole post on WUG...to get a little more clarity.
Shouldn't the work item go to the manager of the person who creates the
purchase order?....

	Regards,

	Vijay

		Vijay,

		Approvers can be defined via BAdi implementation
BBP_WFL_ADMIN_APPROV.  If you do not use BAdi, then they are taken from
multi-line attribute 'ApproverList' of BUS2209.

		* 6) fill attribute 'ApproverList'

		  IF object-approverlist[] IS INITIAL.

		    PERFORM approverlist_get

		                          TABLES

		                                  lt_agents

		                          USING   gs_header.

		If your org structure is not maintained or your
requirements are different than having a manager approve PO response,
then you would need to implement BAdi to determine agents.

		Method 'create' is executed during runtime and that is
how container is populated.  Another way you could define your own
agents is create a subtype of APCOAGENT, use delegation and then
redefine method create.  But I don't see how this would be better than
just using delivered BAdi.

		Hi Natasha,

		That method is not very descriptive, I wanted someone to
elaborate on this process...and about the business object APCOAGENT, and
about the workflow task. Regarding how the container for the agents is
populated...etc. So if anybody has already worked on this specific thing
or anything similar to this...let me know.

		Regards,

		Vijay

			Go to business object APCOAGENT and look at
method 'create'.  This is where the code that populates expression
resides.

			Hi,

			This is regarding SRM workflow task WS14500019.
			It's for Transfer Purchase Order response data
purchase order.
			The input comes from XI. But the workflow fails
in it's 2nd step 'Transfer Purchase Order Response'.
			Saying no agent present. Ther's no specific
agent determination using PFAC or anything like that. It's only an
expression - Looking at the agent it's a multiline structure that
inherits from a workflow container element called
			ANGENT_0001. The type of this structure is
APCOAGENT. Now I don't have any idea how to initialize this APCOAGENT
business object type...and find out how to populate agents for this
workflow. If anybody who's had such a situation could help me out it'd
be great.

			Thanks,
			Vijay
