SRM Extended scenario - Purchase Order BADI workflow

Thu May 18 16:22:39 EDT 2006

Hi, In workflow WS1400046 the loop never stops. The condition for ending the loop are the standard one CurrentAgents NX AND Approval status = 0 OR Approval status <> 0 .When there is a rejection this is working fine the workflow stopsAfter the final approver of the workflow has approved , in the step called Determine next approver, the actualAgents table is not updated and the No_further_approval_needed is not updated either.Behind this step is task TS14007989, BUS4101 with method NEXTDYNAMICAPPROVERGET. All the binding seems correct.When testing the Method directly the result is the same as within the workflow ( ActualAgent is not correct and No_further_approval is not set)It seems to be coming from Function BBP_WFL_DIN_APPR_CONTAINER_GET where the approvallist-state = 2 for the last approver.(Code: * get the list of dynamic approvers from wi-containerswf_get_element ev_wi_container_handle c_wf_appr_list lt_cont_approver.)While testing the BADI function directly the no_further_approval flag is present Can someone help me to determine why this method is not returning the right value or why the approval state of my last approver is set at 2 ? Our version is SRM 4.0 with support package applied is SAPKIBKS08Thanks for your help Stephane Bailleul
