WS14500015 - Item based approval

[Griffiths, Mark]

You need to assign your different approvers to different approval guids.
If this is done then the workflow should work with just index 1, sending
the approvals in parallel, and only completing when all necessary
approvals are received.
 
Other things which often cause issues here are:
 - make sure you are on as recent a support pack as possible with all
OSS notes applied
 - make sure your workflow security setting is correct in your roles /
role personalisation.  Medium doesn't work properly with the BADI
processes so I would normally use LOW.

Subject: WS14500015 - Item based approval


Hello Everyone,
 
We are using the workfow WS14500015 for line item approval of SC. Also,
we have coded the logic to find approvers in BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI.

Now the problem is, I have a shopping cart which has 3 line items. The
1st line item has approver X as the 1st approver and the 2nd & 3rd line
items have approver Y as the 1st approver. 

This will mean that the cart should not be set to 'RELEASED' when
approver X approvers teh 1st line item. It should wait for approver Y to
approve the other 2 line items.

Our problem is, when approver X approves the 1st line item, the entire
cart gets approved. 

I have checked, and there are different work items getting created for
both the approvals.

The problem I am suspecting is due to the approval index. I have
generated the approval index as 1 for both the approvers as they are 1st
approvers for different line items. The workflow might be incrementing
the index and thus getting completed when it does not find any approvers
on index 2.  For testing when I generated separate index for both
approvers( ie.1 and 2), it seems to be working fine, but isn't this
incorrect? Both the approvers are the 1st approver of line itmes and the
approval index should be 1 for both and not 2 !! 
 
Please advice.
