How to change an approver in shopping cart( by function module ) ?

[Former Member]

Hello, i wish to change my approver ( not through the portal) but by function module ( or some other way) . Then, the creator of the SC will see the new approver in his cart details and also, when the new approver logs in, he will have the shopping cart in his list.

thx

Hi Antish,

Try the FM BBP_PDH_WFL_APPROVER_CHANGE. Thsi should help!

hi thx a lot. one last question. what do you insert in the parameter IT_INSERT_AGENT,.thx

[saumya_govil]

Hi Antish,

First please tell me, does this FM solve your requirement?

If yes, great!

In IT_INSERT_AGENT you need to pass the agents Name with leading 'US', i.e. if the login ID is 12345, then pass US12345 into this attribute.

Hope this solves your issue!

thx im trying to run it. should you fill in the field IT_INSERT_AGENT-DISPAGENT also?

Hi Antish,

I don't think it is mandatory to pass DISAGENT. Try to run without passing it.

Let me know in case of any issues.

The table CT_STEP_ITEM_APPROVER is not returning me anything. i've checked my data through BBP_PD.

Hi,

SC owner can change approver and add approver.

Approver can forward the workitem.

Is it not enough?

nope. the idea is when an approver leaves an organisation,the shopping carts that he has to approve should be transferred to another approver.i need a way to do this.For 1000 shopping carts , it is not practical to log on the portal and change the approver manually.thx

Hi,

How about SWIA transaction? System Admin can forward workitem.

If the user left company, you can use SWI2_ADM2 transaction.

Unfortunately , the user leaving organisation is only one possible scenario.he could be in vacation for example.someone else should be able to approve it.

Hi,

Have you checked both transaction? SWIA and SWI2_ADM2. Admin can forward workitems.
