Change Travel Request Status

[ali98ics]

Good day,

I have one requirement that the travel request after created should sent to Dept. manager then to HR manager for approvals.

Whereas the standard workflow (has one level of approval) will set the status to approved after first approve.

I  want to reset or change the status so that the request looks in progress or  not approved .

Is there any FM or BAPI or any solution for this? please advise.

BR,

Ali

Hi,

this is how we do it usually. step 2 and 4 are changing status with a data flow definition. custom method set_status based on BAPI TRIP_CHANGE_STATUS

I tried to use BAPI TRIP_CHANGE_STATUS to update the status, but there is one issue with it. It create another workflow instance.

Hi Ali,

if you change the status via BAPI TRIP_CHANGE_STATUS you have to take care about the eventing.

If the status raise an event in the system you have to check the event and end the new workflow instance.

Hi,

you can change trip status in data flow definition, adding a container operation/ single step to your workflow.

Or you replace standard method APPROVE by custom version of it returning different status.
