Hello

the problem is, that you do not fill the approval tables in your BADI properly

Please ensure that hte following rules are not broken:

- The BADI should return approvers of the current

or future approval step, this means the index of the approver

should be greateer or equal then actual index.

If there are no approvers with index >= actual index, then

the flag no_further_approval_needed must be set to 'X'.

- please make sure that you fill always the structure element

bbp_wfl_approval_table_badi-approval_description

-Please check if the approver name gets filled.

Hello Latha

I had this message just if there was an added approver in the BADI, or the description field was not filled.

I think you have to make a debug, and see what gives your BADi back..

Hello Latha,

This error will not come until you add Ad-hoc approver at last level..for an example.. there are 5 approvers determined by Badi.. You will get this issue when you add Ad-hoc approver after 5th Level of approver then all approver(Including Ad-approver) approved the SC / PO. Here is the solution for this issue.

write the code in your Badi after you appended the approval_table.

data : lv_index type i.

describe table approval_table lines lv_index.

if actual_approval_index gt lv_index.

no_further_approval_needed = 'X'.

endif.

please let me know if you need anything help.

John.
