Supplier Workflow

[Former Member]

Hi experts,

we are currently implementing SAP Sourcing wave 9 at a client. For supplier registrations, we are using workflows. When the user changes to the workflow step 'Approved', the vendor is not yet approved. They still have to pass via a step in which we need to verify if the vendor does not exist yet.

Is there a way to remove this step? We already have an automatic development in place that will verify, based on some criteria, if the vendor does not exist yet. We would therefore like to remove this last step and ensure that when the user clicks on the 'Approve' button, the vendor is automatically approved.

Thanks for any input,

Bram

Hi Bram,

I don’t believe it’s possible to skip that step.

Hi Vikram,

thanks for the answer! I noticed in a Wave 7 sandbox system we have, it skips this step (when we use workflows. If not, this step is there as well) .

Any idea if it was introduced in wave 9?

Hi Bram,

That's interesting. I'm not sure why it would behave differently in 9.0. I'd have to check.
