WS14500015 in SRM5

[Baunach, Natasha R]

Jerry,

You should be able to set your approval requirement in BADI.  For
example, lets say you have 3 items in shopping cart: first one is
assigned to cost center, second one to WBS element, third one to
internal order.

What I have done in this situation is loop through items.  If item meets
certain criteria, assign approval object to it, populate item approval
table and criteria definition table (these three tables are of
structures: bbps_wfl_item_approval_obj
bbps_wfl_item_approval
bbpt_wfl_lia_def.
                 
So, it is possible that your item 1 will only have approver A, item 2
will have approvers A & B, and item 3 have approver C & D.

I hope this helps.  

Natasha

Hi All,

I need to some help clarifying how WS14500015 in SRM5 works. I need to
be able to setup different approval categories that are based on either
the shopping cart item material groups or account assignments.
For example, all shopping cart items charged to cost centers will be
assigned to one approval category while items charged to something like
a maintenance order are assigned to a different approval category. Then
depending on the value of each category have the ability for N-step
approval steps 

The available documentation on WS14500015 states that you can define
different approval categories but what's not clear is that can each
category have N-step approval steps.

If I can't setup the BADI BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI method
GET_REMAINING_APPROVERS code, I'll need to add program logic to the
shopping cart to limit what can be ordered via the shopping cart at any
one time.

Regards,
Jerry Martinek
