SRM7 and ACF

Tue Mar 11 18:27:26 EDT 2014

And I should clarify.

We are using custom workflows that will execute role resolution without
issue - what I worried about (in a weak moment?) was if there was some new
requirement in SRM7 that all Application-Controlled workflows *had* to
implement the Badi.

Hi Andy,

I am asking my Basis team to look into it, thanks.  (We are new to all this
fancy Portal stuff).

One thing I've re-read from the book and SAP Help is the following: 

The book - 

For the n-step BAdI and line item BAdI, the agent determination

is based on BOR methods that delegate the agent determination to a

BAdI implementation.

As mentioned earlier, SAP delivers an example implementation for the BAdI
definition

BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI. To leverage the BAdI-based approval workflow,

you have to provide your own implementation that covers your specific
business

rules (see more details in Section 25.5.9, Implementing Dynamic Processes).

And from Silvana Kempf (Workflow_in_SRM_70_RTC) 

Which leads me to ask another silly question:  Am I being forced into using
the BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI?   I am trying to test this theory now, but have
competing bread crumbs to follow.

Anyway, I thought it was interesting.

How about Security?  We upgraded and there was talk at the time about SRM7
approvals needing Change authority.

Hello Wuggers,

I am on a technical upgrade only from SRM5 (ITS based) to SRM7 (UWL) and we
are running our old (application controlled) workflows.  All the background
tasks work fine.

The UWL is a challenge, but not what brings me to posting today.

It's the danged dialog tasks.

I thought I would just keep it simple and use the SAP-delivered tasks for SC
Approval and so on.  The task (TS10008126, in this case) calls FORM
HTMLPROCESS.  That, in turn calls WDA/FPM - and of course, this is new
territory for me.  Please see the screen shot below for the WDA/FPM
technical information.

The problem is - there are no 'Approve' or 'Reject' buttons when you drill
into the workitem!  I know that once you drill into the workitem, you've
left the control of the UWL and the corresponding XML.  I have been through
blogs and tutorials (is it ridiculous, or just plain wrong that I need to
get an access key in order to follow through on a tutorial? That's a
question for another day).

I have looked in the IMG, and the only place I can see where I could
configure what actions are available is Cross Application Basic Settings>
Extensions and Field Control > Control Actions > Display Standard Metadata
Tables for Actions on Header Level and Configure Control of Actions on
Header Level.  The 'Display Standard Metadata.' is a very busy screen with
no existing entries for BUS2121 APPROVED or APPROVAL_IND (so I've left it
alone).  The section 'Configure Control of Actions on Header Level' seems
promising, but even when I have created entries for BUS2121, it seems to
have no impact on the WebDynPro app.

I feel as though I am overlooking something quite obvious - I mean,
shouldn't an SAP Approval Task offer 'Approve' and 'Reject' right out of the
box?  And it doesn't seem to matter which task I use - I was working with
TS14508044 for a while but switched back to the older task.  

I would definitely appreciate it if anyone can help me get a clue.

Thanks!
Sue
