Generate notification for CCM Approval

[Former Member]

Hi All,

some help or advice needed.

I have a requirement to generate a notification to the catalogue approver to inform them that there are items requiring approval in CCM.

Does anyone know if this is possible and which BADI could be used?

Basically the idea would be to get all items that require approval and the relevant approver for these items and generate a notification or notifications to the approver.

Thanks in aadvance

Hello Chris,

I think approver do not want to receive 100 notification emails when 100 items are uploaded or 20 supplier catalogs are updated in one day. It depends on customer environment.

How many supplier/procurement catalogs ?

How many categories ?

How many approvers by categories ?

How many items in catalog ?

How often it will be updated ?

How about creating a program/report which do not sync with any CCM operation and schedule it in the morning, noon and evening ?

Program/reports:

1. get catalog ID

2. get categories

3. call find method with category and status=To be approved

4. If the result is more than 0, get approver of the category.

5. Sort by approver and category

6. generate notification text

7. call method sending email

Hi Masayuki,

I like your thinking, this sounds like a good idea, I'll investigate this further.

My idea was to generate a notification per upload of new items to the catalogue if an approver had items to approve, this would just generate one notification per upload.
