Show Substitute in Approval Preview

[Former Member]

Hi All,

We are running the SRM 4 and we are investigating if it is possible to include substitutes in the approval preview. Does anyone know if this is possible and how you can do it?

Kind Regards,

Christian

Hello,

There is maybe a trick to do this, with minimum development.

In the approval agent determination, add the substitutes of the approver to the approver list. For the system, the substitutes will then be considered as assigned approvers and displayed in the approval preview.

You can retrieve the substitutes of a user with the function RH_SUBSTITUTES_GET.

Hi Pierre,

Thank you for the suggestion.

If I add these substitutes to the approver list - will they then have to approve the shopping cart as well as the original approver, or will they only be listed?

Kind Regards,

Hello,

No, this will act exactly like with substitutes.

When an approver (original approver or substitute) in the list will execute the workitem (approve or rejected) it will disappear form the others approver's inbox.

Hi Pierre,

Thank you for the answers!

Could you please point me in the direction of this "approval agent determination". Is that a BADI or a program?

Kind Regards,

Hello,

It depends on the workflow you are using. There is no special badi for this.

Dynamic/Badi workflow --> in the implemented badi.

Classic workflow --> in the adhoc agent object (ASBMANAGER, ASBMANOFMA for 1 and 2 step workflow) method create.

Rgds,
