Changes allowed in shopping cart during approval

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I am on SRM 7 , ECS.

My reqirements are :

1. The requisitioner should not be able to change the shopping cart during approval workflow.I have changed the authorization level , BBP_WFL_SECURITY , to none " changes are not allowed" in the employee role . But still the requester is able to change the cart during workflow

2. The approver should be able to change the shopping cart during approval workflow.I have changed the authorization level , BBP_WFL_SECURITY , to low " workflow is always restarted when changes are made" in the employee role . But the approver is not able to change the cart during workflow.

3. If the approver rejects the cart , the workflow should end. what is the way to achieve this?

can you please advise on all these points?

Hi,

Which workflow frame work do you use? Application-Controlled Workflow or Process-Controlled Workflow?

Hi Masa,

We are using BRF workflows for shopping cart. Currently we have configured 1-level BRF approval for workflow , for testing.

I have a 4tn question also :

4. When we configure so that approver can change the cart, what all header and item information can be changed by the approver ?

Eg.

- Header-

-Item - Qty , Price , account assignment ( GL) , etc

It will be great if you can provide help on all these 4 questions.

Hi,

It is called Process-Controlled Workflow. BRF Workflow is not correct term.

BBP_WFL_SECURITY is for only Application-Controlled Workflow.

>1. The requisitioner should not be able to change the shopping cart

Changing SC is available in standard. You can de-activate Edit Button by custom class. Please check "Extension and Field Control (Personalization)" customizing.

>2. The approver should be able to change the shopping cart

There are 2 task types, Completion and Approval in #Define Process Level"

Completion TS40007952 Approver can change SC

Approval TS40007953 No chnage is available

>3. If the approver rejects the cart , the workflow should end

It is in standard for full reject case. What is requirement for partial reject case?

>4.all header and item information can be changed by the approver

Yes

Team SC concept is also available in SRM 7.0. Team members can edit Team SC before submit.

Hi Masa,

Thanks for the information. Will try out these steps and will let you know.

For the last question , can you be more specific and tell me what all header and item information can be changed by the approver in the SC?

Hi Masa,

Thanks for the note. We are trying out the approver field changes.

In the note SAP recommends to enable only non-critical fields and actions. Can you tell us which fields are noncritical and problematic , which approver should not change.
