How to automatically default some text in approval note

[sap_2605]

Dear all,

We're using SRM server 550 with SP08. During approval for SC, the approver can add note by clicking "Add Note". This will open the field Approval Note, and there will be a default text like xxxx on DD.MM.YYYY where xxxx is the user id of the approver and DD.MM.YYYY is the current date of the system.

My questions are:

1. Is it possible to intervene in this text generation? We have requirement that rather than user id, it should be the user name instead (as our id is employee no which is many people are not familiar with),

2. Currently I see that only SC having this feature where the text is generated automatically, but in other documents such as PO, bidding invitation, etc, there is no such auto text generated. Is it possible to enhance so there is a text auto-generated? If yes, how?

Thanks in advance for your generous help.

Best regards,

John.

Hi,

You can change the default text to a custom one by modifying the Standard code so that it appears in the TEXT EDITOR for the "Approval note".

Secondly ,if you want the custom text to be saved after the SC is ordered,you can do it in the badi "BBP_DOC_CHECK_BADI"/BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI" using the FM "SAVE_TEXT".
