Free Text / Catalog Shopping Cart

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am unable to distinguish the logic required for Free Text and shopping cart catalog.

On what basis would i distinguish the logic to the workflow.

Can anyone help me in this regards,

I am facing the same issue for

Cost centre Approval

Prduct Category approval

Spend limit Approval.

For shopping Cart, How do i create the logic where there would be a distinguishing condition for the above mentioned approval process.

kindly help me !

Hi,

As Lisa said, you have to check CATALOGID and CATALOGITEM in doc_check_badi. If there values are initial (Blank) then you can safely assume that it is a free text shopping cart.

Moreover in the case of approval you have to define different process levels, event and expressions related to that. That will help you in finalizing your process.

Thanks

Hi,

When a shopping cart is created from a catalog item it will have the following fields populated:

CATALOGID

CATALOGITEM

And a free text item will not have these filled.

I hope this will help,

Hi,

If you are using Application Controlled workflow then the starting conditions for each workflow are defined in transaction SWB_COND.

The attribute &_EVT_OBJECT.EXISTFREETEXTLINEITEM& ( &EC Requirement Coverage Request.Free entry exists& ) can be used to to distinguish between free text items and catalog items. In this transaction you can search for the other attributes you wish to use in the start conditions. You can also see the list of attributes via transaction SWO1. Enter Object/Interface Type = BUS2121. Hit display and expand the attributes menu.

Kind regards,
