Hi Yogesh,
I really appreciate your time. In our process, the no. of approvers may vary
based on the requester, document type and the dollar value. In IMG
Customizing we specify the approvers for each level. But instead we want to
use a Ztable for approvers. Since the approvers may vary based on the
entries in the Ztable, how do I handle this? Do I need to define different
Release Approval Procedures?
Thanks,
Mark
