Hi Saravanan,

I am sorry for delayed response..

Requiremnet:

Need to add approvers manually to the shopping cart which is on awaiting approval status.

The code flow follows as below:

1. as the workflow already started for this shopping cart so we have interrupted the shopping cart with belwo method

CALL METHOD /sapsrm/cl_wf_adv_facade=>interrupt_process

EXPORTING

iv_document_guid = lv_new_guid ( shopping cart guid)

2. instantiated the object for the class /sapsrn/cl_pdo_bo_sc_adv, to its constructor i have passed values work item id generated in above process.

3. added an approver manually to shopping cart using method of above said class /sapsrm/if_pdo_do_apv_ext~add_approver.

4. if i skip the execution of method /sapsrm/if_pdo_bo_sc~order, i am able see all the approvers added manually but the status is "In your Inbox"

5. if i execute the above said order method, all the approvers added manually are lost.

Question:

1. Please suggest me the sequence of methods called are correct?

2. As per my understanding complete workflow is restarting, so it is losing all the manual approvers if i am wrong suggest me, Is it not possible to have previously added manually added approvers even after ordering the cart?
