Workflow WS14000030 for vendor approval from OPI

[Former Member]

Hi,

The task TS14007942(approve creation of vendor) is included in the workflow WS14000030(Vendor One-Step Approval). Also included the agent assignment (Rule 00000157 for Manager).

It is given in help.sap.com as below ..

A vendor that has been transferred to the EBP System via OPI provisionally receives the status locked (all documents containing this vendor temporarily lose their validity). The system now checks the authorization of the purchaser / requester relating to transaction BBPMAININT:

· If the purchaser / requester possesses the change authorization, the 0-step approval workflow WS14000043 starts and the vendor is released immediately.

Depending on the Customizing settings, a workflow notification follows.

· If the purchaser / requester does not possess the change authorization, the 1-step approval workflow WS14000030 starts and the manager of the purchaser’s purchasing organization receives a work item with a request to approve or reject it.

When I checked the same,

The Transaction 'BBPMAININT' is under the package 'BBP_BUPA'. There is only one authorization object under this package by name 'BBP_BUYER'.

The documentation says "The object consists only of the field Activity.The activity has only one variant, 70 for 'Administration'; in other words: an 'All or nothing' as far as the data of the purchasing company is concerned".

can anyone help me in running the workflow??? How can I restrict the authorization for the transaction BBPMAININT.

Thanx,

Hi

Please try this ->

You have to assign authorization for changing shopping carts during the approval process. This is controlled by means of a role-based attribute BBP_WFL_SECURITY, and is set in the transaction PFCG on the Personalization tab page. There are four possible levels of authorization:

1) High: Workflow is never restarted.

2) Medium: Workflow is restarted based on start conditions.

3) Low: Workflow is always started.

4) No: No changes to the shopping cart allowed during approval.

If nothing helps, create a custom authorization object to meet your requirements and you need to attach the same to the particular user role (Take help of BASIS team in this case).
