SRM MDM catalog approval

[Former Member]

Dear all,

New catalogs and changes on existing catalogs are imported. After importing the changes in the records have to be approved. A minimum functionality in the approval flow is to compare old and new records on changes. What is a user-friendly way of doing this. Using mapping and merging to see the differences i a complicated step on doing this.

Thanks in advance

yep. for that example, you need to create an extra field for price deviation (numeric field) which is filled with an assignment during workflow execution, to calculate ratio between check out version and original version of the price amount.

Hi there,

one easy way is to define a workflow:

first step: calculate price deviation between original item and upcoming item 9that must be checked out at import).

then, set up a validation on the price deviation and branch to the process / assignment you like depending on the case.

ex: if price deviation > 10%, assign item status to "rejected"

How do you do that, is that provided in standard repository or you need to create extra fields
