WS14500015 in SRM5

[jerry martinek]

Hi Natasha & Marc,

I've read the various OSS notes, reviewed the GET_REMAINING_APPROVERS code samples but I'm still not clear on some items.

The part that's currently confusing me is what values do I assign 'approval_index' in the approval table. I've included an XLS attachment that contains a sample shopping cart where I've documented the item that I'm not clear on based on the code samples and my understanding of the 'Actual_Approver_Index' field. In the example, does option A or B represent the correct values for approval_index? 

I'd appreciate your feedback.

Regards,
Jerry
