SRM Item-level Approval BADI Workflow & Deadline Monitoring

[Ramki Maley]

The transaction has been around since 6.20.

I haven't used it for deadlines. It looks like SAP deliberately left out 
the ability to dynamically set the deadline recipient. The choices 
available in the WF Builder like AC and AG  normally are not available 
in SWDD_CONFIG.

Cheers,
Ramki.
