Can we use badi WF_SUBSTITUTE for SRM substitution

[Former Member]

Hi all!

I've been taking a look at BADI WF_SUBSTITUTE to use so that we can limit the potential users a particular shopping cart approver can designate as substitute approvers. Looking at OSS 977069 it says that this badi should apply to the UWL and the portal - but when I'm going through our portal with the BADI implemented and active I can't seem to hit it for the approval iViews we are using for EBP!

Does anyone know if I can use this BADI within the context of SRM functionality - or if there is another way we can restrict the number of possible substitutes without a core mod?

Thanks so much!

Hi All -

After a lot of pain, we found this one out. If you're using the EBP approval inbox, you won't hit the BADI. You have to do a core mod. If you are using the Universal Work List, you can use the BADI.

Hope that helps someone else out!

Thanks!

Hi Abigail,

currently i'm facing situations similar to yours that i need to know which BAdI it will trigger when substitute approver in EBP.
