SRM Process Controlled Workflow

[Former Member]

Hi Exports,

I have created a Process schema for SC object type (BUS2121)..

Looks like my process levels are trigged before the shopping cart is actually ordered by the user..

Is this a normal behavior? or I am missing any configuration? or I need to have a additional process level initially to check whether the SC completed?..

Please advice..

Thanks in advance

Hi,

Do you mean when you saved SC, workflow is triggered or when you opened new SC, workflow is triggered?

Workflow should be triggered when SC is ordered. I guess there is some misunderstanding.

Where did you confirm this?

Hi Masa,

Yes your rite its a misunderstanding..

Now its working perfectly, but I have another question regarding which Task ID to use in process level..

My requirement is this..

Need Item level approval for shopping cart (at Purchaser level)

Shopping cart Item may have single approver or pool of approvers (Multiple approvers)

Rite now I am using Task ID 40007953 (SRM Shopping Cart Approval (1)) & Decision type Item based decision for partial document..

Please advice here.

Hi Bharath,

You faced a situation where the Process Schema determination happened prior to ordering a Shopping Cart , right. I too have the same situation where the Event and Expressions are being triggered prior to SC ordering and hence it looks for a Process Schema to load even at the time of clicking 'Describe what you need' link.

Am I missing any configuration here? My understanding is the Event should be invoked only at the time of SC ordering or while choosing 'Approval Preview' tab but it works a different way.

In your reply to Masa, you said the issue has been resolved. What exactly you meant, are you able to load Process Schema only at the time of Ordering.

Can you elaborate pls. Also is there a way to dynamically load the process levels as our requirement can have multiple level approvals and hence cannot go for a Static Process Schema.

Appreciate if someone can shed some light.

Regards

Hi Sri,

Bsically the BRF event will get triggered every time you add a item in to your Shopping cart or Even before you add item to your shopping cart (at the time of clicking 'Describe what you need').

This is the Standard way of SAP SRM7 Works, Also The problem I faced is not this itu2019s something with Approval Preview..

I resolved my issue by unchecking u201CApplication Bufferingu201D option in Expression (Function Module BAdI as Expression) I used..

Hope this will help you..

Your Question:

"Also is there a way to dynamically load the process levels as our requirement can have multiple level approvals and hence cannot go for a Static Process Schema."

Can you explain me still deeper what your trying to do??..

Hi MASA,

Thanks for giving list of Task Id's

I think along with standard task's we can also define our own task and we need to add these new tasks to XML file..

Now how can i find the new tasks which were added and please let me know where i can find all the task id's along with standard and our own task's...

Thanks in advance
