Question regarding creating a rule based on vendor responsibility

Tue Jul 21 00:44:16 EDT 2009

Hi Miguel,

Check that in the rule that the from value and to value are the same.

When you test the rule does it work?

If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything.

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!
