Digital Signature only Release Status with 3(Approver) Signer

[Former Member]

Hello SDN Folks

I have done all the basic settings for Digital Signature which is sawn in following link

http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/PLM/Digitalsignaturein+DMS

it is work fine with 1 RE (Release) status and 1 Signer

We have in process to implement Digital Signature with only two Status

our scenario is

Document Creator Create Document With Status CR

Document Approver Approve Document With Status RE

now we have scenario that For 1 Document we have 3 Approver and 3 approver must digitally sign on DIR

our status is

only CR(create)---->RE(release)

so how i can attached 3 digital signer with only 1 RE(Release) Status

is it possible to go with 3 digital signer with only 1 RE (Release) Status ????

Hi Tushar,

Your requirement of utilizing 3 different approvers for a single 'Release' status in a document type/s can be addressed via the approach proposed below:

1.Define 3 individual authorization groups

2.Define 3 individual signatures

3.Define a common signature strategy

4.Assign the above 3 individual signatures to the common signature strategy

5.Define the signature sequence(the order in which the 3 approvers must approve)

6.Define users and restrictions(signature assigned to relevant approvers/users)

7.For the document type in question for the 'Release' status,assign the above signature strategy and test.

Yes,you may create 3 seperate roles in your case and assign relevant users to them.Ensure that during role creation that you manually add the Authorization Object C_SIGN_BGR to enable users to sign digitally.Then add the relevant 'Authorization group' that you created earlier to this role to enforce the necessary restrictions.

if this will work fine in R/3 than it will work for SAP Easy DMS 7 ???

Haven't tested this but IMO must hold good.Do test and let know the results.
