Question regarding creating a rule based on vendor responsibility

[Viera, Miguel]

Hello,

I have a request from a user to create a rule based on vendor responsibility for a Price Block Workflow.  The rule would assign  the work item to the user responsible for the vendor that has a price block.  I have created the rule in PFAC, set-up the container element Vendor (ABAP Dict. Reference: Structure - LFA1 & Field - LIFNR).  In the responsibilities tab I have created different rules that have the applicable vendors which are each assigned to specific positions from the Org Plan.

The problem I have when I test the workflow is that when there is a price block for a specific vendor, the workflow is showing it has been assigned to all the positions assigned to the various rules created.  I would expect the assignment to only be to one position.

Ex. Vendor 2 is assigned to Position 30000069 (Based on Responsibility Tab for Rule created)

Another option I have would be to create a rule that looks directly at a non-standard reference table listing the SBL's and Buyer 1's responsible for their specific vendors.  From a maintenance standpoint, if the assignment changed,  the only thing needed to be updated is the non-standard table instead of also updating the rule.  Any suggestions on how to possibly create this type of rule or recommended documentation on the internet you have found helpful in the past.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
