Hi,

I am currently working on Shopping Cart Approval Process Workflow and
doing some sort of feasibility of my client's requirement. Though the
requirement seems to be bit complex with a max of 12 levels of approvals
with lot of execeptional cases, i am checking the feasibility of this
considering BADI based N-step 14000133 and a custom workflow based on
WS10000031 to extend it for required number of approvals.

So, far it looked like going with custom workflow based on WS10000031 (
to extend it for rquired number of approvals) is going to make my life
bit easy!!

However as expected, i am getting stuch with Ad-hoc functionality. I did
everything required to have ad-hoc functionality and its working fine,
meaning my approval preview shows all the agents correctly, no problem
with it. But when i try to use 'Add Approver' functionality ( i did
include Ad-hoc anchor step based on WS10000271 - similar to what exist
in WS10000031)

a. I am able to find the approver and when i click on Transfer its
correctly showing in the approval preview
b. However after adding the new approver ( after approver2)  i.e added
approval, as requester i am clicking on 'Change' ( I am not sure if i
really have to click on 'Change'  - even if i dont clikc on 'Change'
after approver2's action is completed, the newly added approver is not
shown in approval preview and workitem is also not going to him)
c. In case when i click on 'Change' - wait for changed event is killing
my original workflow instance and based on security level it is starting
a new workflow instance and the newly added approver ( ofcourse) is not
there in this new instance.

So, in nutshell, i am not able to get the 'Added Approver' functionality
work correctly. Note that, i am using a workflow which is very similar
to WS10000031 so i have all the necessay ad-hoc anhor steps for added
approval step.


Any guess, where is it going wrong? i checked in OSS messages as well
but did not find anything suitable.

Feel free to throw your hints/clues.
