Approval Workflow in SRM in line with HR Hierarchy Implementation

[Former Member]

Hi,

Could anybody of you provide me with the Implementation Documentation for Workflow approval in line with HR Hierarchy in the Organization. Presently we are working with SLAPPROVER for the line items in SRM V4,which is independent of HR Organization Structure. Now the management wants to implement the Approval Workflow in line with hierarchy as defined in HR Org. Structure in SRM i.e. n-step approval with the approval at first from Line manager, than Cost Centre responsible manager,than IO/WBS Responsible manager,followed by Finance and

Management approval.

Looking forward to receive inputs in this regard.

Best Regards.

Hi Pranab,

You need to implement your own badi and configure N-STEP badi to get the required level of approvers you want.

there is badi bbp_wfl_approval( exact name i dont remember) , run the transaction se19 , and search for badis with bbpwfl.

Hi again,

But in addition to this whether we need to configure anything in SRM Org Structure with PPOMA_BBP transaction code ? If so,then please provide the details.

Thanks for your immediate response.

The attribute for the spending limit approver is only one i.e. SLAPPROVER in the Organisation structure.The attribute SLAPROVERLIST is the one in the method which is present in the OBJECT TYPE (BUS4101) used in the Approval workflow WS10000276.SO whatever values are maintained for the attribute SLAPPROVER in the Org structure are passed on to this Workflow attribute.

So you just need to maintain the attribute SLAPPROVER in the Organisation structure.

Hope this will help.
