Approver Determinator CUP(Controller)

[Former Member]

Hi All,

Can anyone please help me on what does "controller and BPO" mean in the Approver determinator stage during Workflow configuration in CUP.

Well, I got to know what a controller is: It is the same one defined and used in SPM.

Thanks for your Reply...

To make it more clear, where you can find Approver Determinator is:

CUP configuration tab>workflow>stage>workflow type(Compliant user Provisioning)>Arrover determinator..

Now this Approver Detreminator has many fields, of which I want to know what does the "controller" Field mean.

Hi Preethi,

BPO is an standard SAP 'Approver Determinator' that come pre-configured.

'BPO' refers to 'Business Process Owners'. If this option is selected for a stage, approval request mail is triggerd to BPO to proceed to the next stage or for auto-provisioning.

FYI. All Roles are assigned to 'Business Process' & each Business process has an 'Approver/owner' & 'Alternate Approver'.

Looks like 'Controller' is a Custom Approver Determinator (CAD). Request you to kindly check at Configuration Tab >> Workflow >> Custom Approver Derterminators. It should be defined there. If not, kindly let know.

Hope this answers your query.

GRC 5.3

Hi Preethi,

I am also using 5.3 and am unable to find the terms "controller and BPO" under Configuration >> Workflow >> Custom Approver Derterminators.

Can you kindly let know the steps that you are doing.

In SPM, a 'Controller' is a person to who approves the SPM access requests for firefighters. I am not sure of BPO, but it normally means 'Business Process Owner'.
