Approval with completion -- few questions

[Former Member]

Hi,

We have SC process control workflow active i.e. approval with completion process for SC created through Free text . I have following question

1. What is the basic difference between Approval with completion Vs Approval process? I notice one i.e. change SC vs just approve or reject authority.

2. Do Approval with completion allows change to price, other fields as standard or do I need to do anything else. In our case it goes to buyer but he is not able to assign source ( fixed vendor). He can assign preferred vendor. change price etc.

3. In cofiguration I have to route to buyer through role i.e. responsibility resolver RR_ROLE and giving buyer role as parameter. I tried with SC_PGRP but it giving error in SC --agent not found. Any clue?

Thanks, Sachin

Hi Sachin,

Please create a separate thread for question 2.

With regard to point 1, there is a good description in the SAP help :

Hi Sachin,

The main purpose of the Approval with Completion functionality is 'Inquire' option. This functionality is new in SRM 7.0. using this option Approver could ask any clarification to requestor , once requestor clarify then WF will be continue from the current approver. WF will not be restarted. Here is the help link for further details..

HI,

3. I think the resolver name is SC_RR_PURCHASING_GROUP. Please make sure the Purchasing Group has responsible categories and purchasers.
