Restart Workflow on changing the SC value

[Former Member]

Hi SRM Champs,

There is a interesting requirement in our project for Shopping Cart workflow with value limit approval.

Here, for the workflow there are two approvers APPROVER1 and APPROVER2 with the following condition :

upto 1001 $ > more APPROVER1 should approve

from 10001 $ > more APPROVER2 should approve

Now please look into the below scenario :

When creating a shopping cart passing values like qty as 1 and value as 10020 $ and ordering the shopping cart. The system should determine the only 2 Approvers it is happening perfectly.

But,after approved by the APPROVER1 ( Remember APPROVER2 yet to be approved) The requester changing the value as 1600. Now the value is < 10001 Now workflow should restart and control should go to APPROVER1 this is not happening, wherelse the Shopping cart is showing to be approved by APPROVER1 in the check status.

Logic should be whenever changes are happening in SC workflow need to restart and approval process start from the beginning.

Please help in this direction, any help shall be profoundly appreciated and rewarded points.

Vikas.

Hi Imthiaz Ahmed,

Please accept my apologies first for the late reply.

Thanks for correcting me as it has it should have been as follows :

Now the value is < 10001 Now workflow should restart and control should go to APPROVER1 this is not happening, whereas the Shopping cart is getting approved in the

check status .

Hi Nimish Sheth,

Thanks for your suggestions, we have implemented all the suggestions given you, but unfortunately still the workflow is not getting restarted as expected !!

Dear Friends,

This issue is still pending from our development team and the client is expecting some feasible solution. If you have any idea, please suggest, it would be a great gesture.

Regards,

Vikas.

What value did you set for the security. It has to be 3-Medium(conditional change). Make sure you check the user level security as well as the role. User security takes precedence over the role.

If you set to 2- Always restart, that means for a minor change also the WF will restart.

Now the value is < 10001 Now workflow should restart and control 
should go to APPROVER1 this is not happening, wherelse the 
Shopping cart is showing to be approved by APPROVER1 in the 
check status

As per the above quote, it is correct. "To be approved by Approver 1", i.e. the WF has restarted and waiting for Approver 1.

Question is not clear. Is this what you wanted to say?

First thing is to check the attribute BBP_WFL_SEcurity in role SAP_STAL_MANAGER and SAP_EC_BBP_MANAGER

AS changing of workflow is govern by that attribute

so kindly check there is appropriate value in the attribute BBP_WFL_Security

Secondly, the start conditions for change Shopping carts and also checkc the PO values limits if u are maintianing the same
