BRF Workflow - SRM Shopping Cart Approval at item level

[BPT Consulting]

Raja,
 
Look at the configuration for Acceptance by Contact Person for a fully rejected SC.  Put in your evaluation ID and use task ID 40007994.

Raja,

This behavior is defined by your process schema. Please check your schema. You can also try posting the issue in SDN SRM Workflow forum.

Cheers,
Ramki.

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.

Hello Experts , 



We are using SRM 7.01 and SP Level3 . 


We are in the process of implementing Shopping Cart Approval at item level using Business Rule Framework using Process Controlled Schema evaluation . 
 I have used the BADI implementation /SAPSRM/BD_WF_RESP_RESOLVER  and methods 
/SAPSRM/IF_EX_WF_RESP_RESOLVER~GET_APPROVERS_BY_AREA_GUID  and /SAPSRM/IF_EX_WF_RESP_RESOLVER~GET_AREA_TO_ITEM_MAP 
to create area GUID and map it to the item.


Problems I am facing :
Scenario 1 :   For example  SC got two items  ; item 1  requires two level of approval and item 2 requires 3 level of approval .  Item 1 is approved by both the levels  and item 2 needs 3rd level approval.


What is happening here is , line item 1 is also in the waiting approval status, technically item should go to "Approved" ,but the SC is waiting for item 2 to be approved by 3 rd level . Then the SC status is changed to "Approved". 


Scenario 2 :   For example  SC got two items  ; item 1  requires two level of approval and item 2 requires 3 level of approval .  Item 1 is approved by both the levels  and item 2 rejected by 3 rd level . Even in this case ,the rejected item needs decision  from the SC creator , then only the other item is going for approval.


Basically only one instance of  workflow (WS40000014) is called at for the entore shopping cart and the approval workitem is created 
at the n-step approval sub-workflow (WS40000015 and WS40000016). In our situation there should be either multiple instances
of WS400000154/WS40000015 should be called so that every item will be considered as a separate approval.  


I read from SDN that Process Schema's  evaluation is at  header level only by default . 
We have done coding in the  item area map method /BADI  and Rule Context to to go for different approval process at item level. 


Any ideas and  suggestions welcome . I appreciate your time and effort in advance.




Note : I am willing to share my code if anybody wants to have a look at to provide suggestion.




Thanks,
Raja Mahamani
