BRF Workflow - SRM Shopping Cart Approval at item level

[Raja]

Hello All :

I have an other question related to the BRF workflow . When the Shopping Cart is 
completely rejected  ( all line items rejected ) by an approver , the shopping 
cart turns out to be non-editable  and the workflow is completed . 

But at the same , if the SC got 2 items , item 1 is approved and item 2 is 
rejected , then work item is sent to the SC creator to take some action .
Is this the Standard system behavior ? . 

What I am looking for is when the SC is fully rejected , it should give the 
capability to the requester to edit and resubmit it.

Can anybody please shed some light on this issue ?

Your time and effort is highly appreciated in this matter.


Thanks,
Raja

Hello Ramki , 
Thank You for your response . 

Is there a way through coding/customization  , to create decision sets at item 
level  so that  for example when the line item 1 is approved , it does not have 
to wait for item 2 ? . Basically , what I am looking for is , item 1 status 
should be changed to "Approved" so that follow-on documents will be created.

Or Shall I use any BAPI to change the status  or write custom method to change 
the item's system  status to "approved " ?.

Any ideas or suggestions welcome.  


Thanks,
Raja

 Raja,

What you are experiencing in both cases is standard system behavior.     Please 
see the SAP documentation for Decision       Sets.
