'N' step approval Workflow

[Former Member]

We are on an old EBP 3.0 but are looking at upgrading to SRM 5.0 later in the year.

We currently have a business process change in place which will require us to move to a multi step approval process where we could potentially have a requirement for > 2 approvals occurring in serial. EBP 3.0 is limited to 0, 1, 2 step approval workflow scenarios.

I notice there is a new workflow (WS14000133) in SRM 4.0 onwards which would seem to cater for our business requirement. I believe there is a BADI (BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI ) that supplies the approvers to this workflow.

I'm hoping to track down some info on this workflow as we would like to build something that would closely align to this workflow in the interim between now and us moving to SRM 5.0. I'm trying to find out whether the workflow drives off adhoc agent functionality and how escalation functionality impacts the workflow.

Any information would be great.

Cheers
