If you feel like debugging, good place would be function module BBP_WFL_DIN_APPR_FINALLIST_GET.  This function module did have an error which was solved by OSS note 1256566 just yesterday.

Hi Natasha,

Thank you for the reply, the system is SRM 5.5 and latest support packs have been applied - I've logged this on OSS and will let you know SAP's response.

It only appears to be happening if an ad-hoc approver is added in the 'Approval Preview' screen as the initial approver. I can see in the workitem log that 2 approvers - both the adhoc approver and another approver (determined by our BADI implementation) appear; the adhoc approver is assigned as the actual agent who then receives a workitem and approves the shopping cart, the workflow then completes and completely ignores the other approver.

Any further thoughts from anyone would be much appreciated, otherwise I guess it's down to some low-level debugging of standard SAP code!

Regards,

Stuart.

Hello Stuart.

Adding approver for n-step BADI workflow should work just fine.  It works in our system.  Make sure you have all the latest notes applied.  There was a note issued just yesterday for an issue I reported to OSS (BADI workflow and held purchase orders).

Hi,

Could anyone please confirm if an implementation of the BADI: BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI  and the Workflow Template for Approval Shopping Cart n-Level (BADI) is created then the Shopping Cart Approval preview Add Approver actually works OR should it be disabled if using the above scenario.

We are currently experiencing problems using the above if an Approver is manually added before the BADI determines an Approver - in this scenario the Workitem is only sent to the manually added Approver and once approved, no further Workitem is created for the system determined approver.
If an Approver is added after the BADI determines an Approver, then this works ok and 2 step levels of approval workitem are created.

Thanks and regards,
