Process Control workflow - want to delete logical steps against one SC

Workflow issue : Process control workflow
In my scenario when requestor is creating a SC then workflow goes to buyer for assignment of supplier but when buyer himslef is creating a SC and forgot to attach supplier then workflow goes to error....i checked in SWIA its an error.....
i come to know tht we can logically deleted those steps , so that when buyer open a SC in edit mode and assign Supplier then workflow will behave as normal.
Please let me know where i can logically deleted the steps for particular work item ID.

Hi ,
  Yes - what Masa suggested is the correct and the SAP Best Practice, I'll do the same. you can implement the BAID BBP_DOC_CHECK_BADI , where you check whether the requester is Buyer or not, if the requester is buyer , you can get the assigned role from BUS4101 by passing the user id or calling the FM 'BAPI_USER_GET_DETAIL'. if the  'ACTIVITYGROUPS'
table from FM ''BAPI_USER_GET_DETAIL' has an entry 'SAP_EC_BBP_PURCHASER' then the requester is a buyer. you can write your logic after that to make sure the SC has assigned supplier or not. if the SC is not assign the supplier then raise the error message.

  • Process Controlled Workflow - 1-step approval for shopping cart approval

    Hi,
    I have configured a one-level approval for SC (Process Controlled Workflow):
    Object Type: BUS2121
    Additional 1 level under schema: 3C_SC_600_000 (the last level is the automatic approval)
    Level Type: Approval with completion
    Eval ID: 0EV_SC_SL1
    RR Name: RR_SPENDING_LIMIT_APPROVER
    RR Param: USTONY.Y (I hardcoded it using my user ID, for the moment)
    Task ID: 40007953 (I have checked, it's generalized as well)
    Decision Type: Item-based decision for entire document
    For PPOMA_BBP:
    Under my org unit (Position):
    Approval Limit: 1000
    Output Limit: 1000
    I didn't do any BADI implementations yet.
    During creation of SC by other user, before "Order" the SC, the approval preview can show correctly that the Processor is as indicated in the config.
    Once the SC is ordered, the whole step is gone and the event linkage becoming delinked (because there is error, and according to the config in SWEQADM).
    However, I cannot find the workitem (no workitem generated) and SLG1 does not give any clue whatsoever.
    I tried debugging method APPROVAL_LIMIT, and it seems fine as well.
    Please help, what did I do wrong here?
    Thanks,
    Tony Y

    Hi Sahil,
    I even changed to first process level to:
    Level Type: Approval
    Eval ID: 0EV000
    RR Name: RR_MANAGER
    RR Param: (Blank)
    Task ID: 40007953 (I have checked, it's generalized as well)
    Decision Type: Decision for entire document
    Under PPOMA_BBP:
    I made myself as a head of the org unit with the role manager.
    The requester is "Exclude" the role manager.
    The agent can be determined now.
    But the workitem ID is still cannot be generated. It's always no workitem generated.
    Please everyone, any help?
    Thanks in advance,

  • Complexity of using N-step BADI in SRM 7using Process controlled Workflow.

    Hi,
    Just as a big thought,
    I have a Shopping Cart requirement, Here i am asked to develop a Custom workflow for SRM 7.0.
    And the client is looking for us to use Process Control Workflows i.e(BRF integrated one).
    I need to understand the complexity of using a N-step BADI.
    How would be the complexity level if I use a N step BADI( ie Multiple approval levels on Line Item Based).
    Kindly tell me the complexity of Using it and if any one has come across some requirement like this, then explain me that how did you face the situation.
    Expecting an Earliest Response.
    Thanks,
    Shanky

    Hi,
      Is your project SRM 7.0 implementation project then you have to go for Process Controlled Workflow and if your project is upgrade then you can still go with Application Controlled Workflow but down line this has to switch to Process Controlled Workflow.

  • How to determine N Step Approval process through Process Controlled workflow

    HI
    For SC approval process after 4th level of approval the workflow keep go N step till the approval determine. If no approval find then go for WF Exceptions.
    In PCW we have process level like 100, 200, 300 and so on. What would be the procedure for Nth process level determination in SRM process controlled workflows settings.
    Regards
    Kharabela

    Hi,
      From SRM 7.0 PCW, requestor of SC or creator(buyer) of the PO can't be in the approval list.. this is standard...
    create two custom events like zev_po_schema_eva and zev_po_sl_approval
    create two custom expression.. one with constants as zev_po_schema_def and other one is formula interpreter(0FB001)..
      assign zev_po_schema_eva as schema evaluation for PO.. MAKE SURE YOU LINK THE zev_po_sl_approval
      with as zev_po_schema_def..
       now create schema definition entry and specify as zev_po_schema_def..
       now create process level
       100 approval / approval with completion ( Your chooice ) .. maintain  zev_po_sl_approval as evaluation id in the process level... maintain RR_SPENDING_LIMIT_APPROVER as Resp.Resolver...
    maintain formula interperter value as (OV_SC_PREVAPPROVALIMI < 0V_PO_POTOTALVALUE ) AND (OV_SC_SPNDNGLMTFRQST < 0V_PO_POTOTALVALUE).

  • Process Controlled workflow

    Hello experts,
    We are trying to use process controlled work flow for SC approval. Approval process will be multiple based on the amount of shopping cart. Somebody has already activated BC set for one step approval in the system. If i want to have  my own process schema ( multiple approval ),what i supposed to do? Do i delete the existing schema attached to BUS2121 or create my own schema ?
    How system will determine which schema needs to be picked up after creation of SC?
    Regards,
    Sagar

    Hello Bharat,
    Thanx for reply.
    I have below cases for process controlled workflow.
    1.  No approval
    2. One step approval
    3.Multi level approval.
    All the above scenario will be decided based on the Z field which we have added to SC header. My understanding in this case is to have three process schema for above cases. Name of schema will be decided by Evaluation ID.
    Once the schema is decided then i need to define process level for each process schema.
    Please let me know if i am on the right track??

  • SRM 7.0 - Process controlled workflow

    Hi,
    Landscape -  SRM 7.0 SP05
    Workflow - Porcess controlled
    Scenario - Self service procurement
    Problem:
    1. We have mulitple level approval workflow for the shopping cart. I am using standard workflow task- 40007953 and using /SAPSRM/BD_WF_RESP_RESOLVER badi to determine agents.
    2. All the potential approvers (managers) are determined correctly by this badi but the issue is work-item is sent to all the approvers at the same time where as the requirement is to sent the work-item to each approver in series i.e. only when the work-item is approved by the lower level manager, it should go to the higher level manager.  Currently, this workflow task sends the work-item to all potential approvers at one go who can start working on parallely which is not desired.
    Could anyone please help me to resolve this?
    Please note that adding additional process steps in the process-level configuration was the option but we could not opt for that at this point of development as we have gone too far in terms badi development for agent derterminiation
    Thanks & regards,
    Amit

    Amit,
      It is not possible to send the work item to people in sequence by configuring only one process level. If you have only one process level, the agent determination will only be applicable to that process level. If you are trying to assign multiple agents to that step, then all will get the work item at the same time.
    I recommend doing one thing, Create multiple process levels(= no of approval levels you want). For each process level you keep same event and expressions. But your agent determination badi implementation need to be tweaked. Here is how you can do that
    Use Parameters along with agent determnation badi implementation. In other words derive Agents based on the value of parameter using your badi implementation. This parameter can be configured in Process Controlled Workflow Configuration.
    Example,
    Process step 1 - WF_BADI - Parameter1
    Process step 2 - WF_BADI - parameter2
    Now write some code in the WF_BADI to pick up particular agent if parameter value is Parameter1 , pick another agent if parameter value is parameter2. Doing this way you wont ve to redesign your BADI implementation as you are able to break up the Agent logic based on parameter values.

  • Approver not determined process controlled workflow in SAP SRM 7.0

    Hello all,
    I have setup process controlled workflow in SAP SRM 7.0 EHP3 for shopping cart approval.
    I have 4 approval levels.
    I have used item-based Decision for entire document because for some items i want system approval.
    In implementation of BADI /SAPSRM/BD_WF_RESP_RESOLVER, in the method /SAPSRM/IF_EX_WF_RESP_RESOLVER~GET_AREA_TO_ITEM_MAP, i am skipping the items for which i want system approval.
    Also in method /SAPSRM/IF_EX_WF_RESP_RESOLVER~GET_APPROVERS_BY_AREA_GUID of BADI implementation class, i am keeping the approver table empty for the step which i want system approval.
    For example i have 1 item in shopping cart and for 1st step, based on some accouting criteria, i want system approval for 1st level and the workitem should go directly to 2 approval step when shopping cart is ordered. This is not happening.
    But if i have multiple items, and one item should have system approval based on some criteria and the 1st approval level should be system approval and other item should go to the 1st approver. This is happening and showing 'system' approver for item1 and 'appr_xyz' for item 2.
    For shopping cart having only 1 item, If i approve the shopping cart in this state only, it doesn't go to any approver and is not usable.
    am i missing anything in BADI /SAPSRM/BD_WF_RESP_RESOLVER??
    Please let me know.
    Regards,
    Yayati Ekbote

    Hi Adrian,
    Yes it is possible to display custom workflows in the Universal Worklist,  However, I am not sure what you are trying to do with a routing table.  If the workitems are of type decision, you can use UserDecisionHandler (action handler) configured in the XML file to use the Approve/Reject functionality - we are talking about webflow connector here correct?  R/3 connector?

  • Process controlled workflow - SC process schema evaluation

    Hi experts,
    at the moment I'm using the n-step item level approval in SRM 5.0.
    We are implementing SRM 7.0. With the new process controlled workflow I'm not sure how to
    implement the logic of our "old" system.
    Depending on category and item value the SC item has to be approved by 0 - 7 users.
    I've created an event which finds a Z-process schema via FM.
    In the FM I've tried to change the process schema (debugger) for one SC item.
    But the schema has been changed for all items.
    Is it possible to use different process schemas for items?
    When yes how can I set the schema e.g.
    item 10 schema1
    item 20 schema1
    item 30 schema2
    item 40 schema1
    Thanks in advance for your inputs!
    Regards
    Stefan

    Hi,
    Schema Evaluation is document header level.
    There are 2 ways for implementation.
    1. Schema Evaluation returns Schema name. For example, 1 step approval, ... 7 step approval
    2. 1 Fixed Schema and 7 level evaluations. 1 Schema has 7 approval steps and each evaluation returns true or false.
    You have to implement GET_AREA_TO_ITEM_MAP method of Agent BADI to exclude/include items.
    BTW. If you set workflow framework as Application-Controlled Workflow, your old workflow logic works without any change.

  • Custom Expression creation in Process controlled  workflow

    Hi All,
    I am working on SRM 7.0 and utilizing process controlled workflow to model my approval workflow scenario. Below are the steps that i have done but still i have not got the desired result. May be i am missing something which the forum members can let me know.
    step 1: i have copied the standard function module  /SAPSRM/WF_BRF_0EXP001 and made chnages in the code  based on the logic to populate the ev_value.
    basically in the coding it is done this way.
    initialize
    EV_TYPE = 'B'.
      EV_LENGTH = 1.
      CLEAR EV_CURRENCY.
      EV_OUTPUT_LENGTH = 1.
      EV_DECIMALS = 0.
      EV_VALUE = ABAP_FALSE. " no processing
      EV_DATA_MISSING = 'X'.
    get event object
      LO_WF_BRF_EVENT ?= IO_EVENT.
    get Context Container from BRF event
      LO_CONTEXT_PROVIDER = LO_WF_BRF_EVENT->GET_CONTEXT_PROVIDER( ).
      CALL METHOD LO_CONTEXT_PROVIDER->GET_DOCUMENT
        IMPORTING
          EV_DOCUMENT_GUID = LV_DOCUMENT_GUID
          EV_DOCUMENT_TYPE = LV_DOCUMENT_TYPE.
      CASE LV_DOCUMENT_TYPE.
        WHEN 'BUS2121'.
    Get shopping cart instance
          LO_WF_PDO_SC ?= /SAPSRM/CL_WF_PDO_IMPL_FACTORY=>GET_INSTANCE(
            IV_DOCUMENT_GUID = LV_DOCUMENT_GUID
            IV_DOCUMENT_TYPE = LV_DOCUMENT_TYPE
            IV_PDO_EVENT_HANDLING = ABAP_FALSE
    custom logic  with the GUID of the shopping cart then populate  value accordingly
            EV_VALUE = ABAP_TRUE.
            CLEAR EV_DATA_MISSING.
    step 2: create an event ZEV_001 linked to expresion ZEX_001.
    step 3: expression ZEX_001 is of type 0FB001. and the xpression is as below.
      ZEX_002 = OB_WF_TRUE.
    step 4: ZEX_002 is of type 0CF001 and output result type is B. the attached function module is the one created above by copying /SAPSRM/WF_BRF_0EXP001
    no parameters provided .
    step 5: the process step level config completed.
    now when i am creating shopping cart  go for approval preview its gives an exception occured  error . i cant see any dump in the system. however  if  in the custom fucnction module code if i do not clear the  EV_DATA_MISSING. then i d o not get the error but my steps is not executed. Inslg1 log i see the  process level executed  but return as space.
    as per other post in the forum we have to clear EV_DATA_MISSING but that casuing  exception eror for me. in the dlg1 log howere the steps  expressin i can see executed  with return =X.
    hope i am made myself clear . feel free to ask for any more info.
    i have below question.
    1) do we need to copy  /SAPSRM/WF_BRF_0EXP001  or  /SAPSRM/WF_BRF_0EXP000 for creating a custom FM expression.
    2)what does the check box "Calculation of Parameter in Function Module/Badi/method" does
    3) how can i do debugging for such FM expression , probably saving the cart and then debugging the expression.
    Thanks in advance for any help provided.
    Cheers

  • How to make a restart of the workflow in a process controlled workflow?

    Hi Experts,
    How to make a restart of the workflow in case of process controlled workflow? Scenario is like this:
    The user has created a shopping cart with 1000 USD. The process schema has three process level with the first level being approval with completion.
    The first level being executed by the responsible purchaser. Here, the purchaser adds the source of supply and changes the price of the shopping cart 2000 USD and approve the shopping cart.
    Now, I want the approval task to start from beginning so that the requestor can know the changes and accept/reject the changes.
    Thanks and regards,
    Ranjan

    Hi,
    Restarting workflow goes to 1st level approval step. It is not requester.
    I think you need to set condition for "Acceptance by Contact Person" in Define Process Level.

  • Acceptance by Requestor - Process control workflow

    Hi All,
    I have followed the below thread and configured the "Acceptance by contact person" BRF for status REJECTED. Now when my shopping cart is rejected , i still see the  shopping cart as awaiting approval.This is sometihng strange as i expected soomething like "In Your Inbox".  In the approval preview i can see it is awaiting acceptance from me. however i am confused as there is no acceptance button in the detail of the SC.
    do i need to go to edit mode? if i go to edit mode the SC workflow will start from the beginning as it behaves similarly  when we modify shopping cart awaiting approval .however acceptance would have deleted the shopping cart  item that were rejected and  workflow would have continued from that step onward.
    please do let me know what i am experiencing is standard or thereis something wrong ??

  • Process controlled workflows- basic questions

    Hi,
    I am new to SRM 7 process controlled workflows.
    I need some help designing the process controlled worlflow for n step approval of shopping cart.
    If there are n conditions to be checked for a cart before deetrminig the no of approvers,then does that mean for a BO(in my case Shopping cart),there will be n process schemas or just one process schemas with n process levels?
    Also under each process schema,I see multiple expressions/process levels.Does the column "level sequence no" determine the sequqnce of the task in the whole approval process?
    Please advise.

    Hi Saravanan,
    Thanks for the prompt response!
    Based on your inputs,I think I need to go with option 2 as based on the data in shopping cart e.g. product category,spend limit,total value and a/c assignment catgeory,the no of approvers are determined.
    The flow is like:
    cond 1: check the prod category,if true,add 1st approver.
    cond 2: check reqeuseter spending limit with total value fo cart,if true,add further approver or approvers
    cond 3: check a/c assgt category,if true for a particular catgeory,add new approver or approvers using RFC call.
    cond 4: check ship-to-address,if a local address,add buyer as last approver.
    For a given cart,one or multiple conditions from the above may be true.But the sequence for the cosnidtions is as defined above.
    As per my understanding,I need to create only one process schema for "Shopping cart" and then create different BRF expressions for each of the above conditions right?E.g. cond1>level1,cond2>level2 etc...Please advise.
    Also under process schema,process level configuration,I see one column for "resp resolvername".What do I need to enter here?My understanding was that this entry will be responsible for determining the approver values...Pls confirm.
    Also if I go with option 2,you said BADI SAPSRM/BD_WF_RESP_RESOLVER' will have to be implemented for determining approvers.So the logic for determining the approvers for each of the above conditions will be implemented in this single badi?
    Pls advise.
    Also in the event linkage,I need to actiavte only the two entries /SAPSRM/CL_WF_PDO/SRM_PROCESS_START and /SAPSRM/CL_WF_PDO/WS40000014 right?
    Also regarding the workflow template,is WS40000014 the only template for all business objects i.e. Shopping cart and PO?
    Thanks again for your time and inputs.

  • Process Controlled Workflows VS Applicaiton Enabled Workflows-What to chose

    G'Day All,
    We are upgrading from SRM5.0 to SRM7.0
    There are these bespoke shopping cart approval workflows developed previously. I have to do some sort of assessment to include
    1) Why would we go for PCWs instead of just migrating the old ones in SRM 7.0 as business is pretty happy with the functionality they have got and are not interested in revising the workflow processes. Answer :  Application enabled workflows are in maintainence mode so newer functionality would be delivered using PCWs.( is there any other justification ? )
    2) Would we be able to map the existing workflow process to PCWs, here i need some pointers. I understand the PCWs are based on BRF though i don't know much about BRF( updating myself ). The key question i have is, whatever is there in bespoke workflow templates would i be able to  replicate that using this i.e. a different technology. Since my exposure to either PCWs or BRF is not great so as a general rule i am asking, is it possible or are there any sort of technical limitations on what you can and what you can't do using PCWs which you could design using a normal workflow template?
    I am sure this would be a common analysis which many of you might have done or are doing if you are involved in an upgrade.
    An Interesting Fact : There is no documentation available on existing SRM 5.0 workflows as what differently they have done to standard. The only thing i know at this stage is they have a bespoke level 1 template which call different standard templates for n level approval process. The apporval process( agent determination ) is based purely on custom logic. I am not that worried about the agent determination as i know i could get that as rule evaluation in BRF. The crux for me is to understand how BRFcontrols or connects to workflow templates in this particular case and what permutation conbinations are possible.
    So, i want to have a discussion on this and if possible some insight on all this new PCWs.
    Hope to see some valuable comments.

    Praveen

    Hi everyone:
    My question is the following.
    We will implement SRM 7.01 with Process Controlled Workflow.
    However in the manual is the following note:
    Note: Even if you decide to use Process-Controlled Workflow in general,
    there are a few workflows still on the old technology:
    WS10400022 . Contract Alert Workflow
    WS10000192 - Approval Workflow for Internal Users
    WS10000209 - Approval workflow for new bidder/supplier     
    WS10000093/WS10000100 -Procurement Card Approval
    Probably We will required some of this.
    My question is if we are planning to configure process and application the correct strategy will be:
    1.     Start the configuration with the application controlled workflow and then
    2.     Follow with the change of the configuration application to process controlled workflow
    3.     And configure the workflowu2019s in process.
    u2022     Is there any problem when if we change the check  application to process?  Are there any chance that we loss the configuration?
    u2022     Is there any problem in the functionality that both kinds of workflow (application-process) work at the same time?
    u2022     If is possible to make change or maintenance of the application workflow?
    Thanksu2019 a lot for all the help
    Best Regards

  • Issue in Process Controlled workflow for Shopping cart in Quality system.

    Hello All,
    I ahve configured a Process controlled workflow in SRM 7.0  with custom resolver, and I am facing an issue taht the Workflow works well in Development but in Quality the approvers are dropped after SC is ordered in Quality system.
    The SC Workflow drops the approvers picked up from the Interface  method /SAPSRM/IF_EX_WF_RESP_RESOLVERGET_AREA_TO_ITEM_MAP and IF_EX_WF_RESP_RESOLVERGET_APPROVERS_BY_AREA_GUID of BADI /SAPSRM/BD_WF_RESP_RESOLVER. The approvers can be seen in the shopping cart Approval preview Tab until the SC is ordered.
    I have compared the OSS notes relevant for Workflow, all of them have been transported, Also I compared and checked general Workflow settings, BRF Config and  Process level  settings in Dev and Quality, everything is same.
    Also while debugging; the approvers can be seen in the decision set table in the create_process_forecast method of class /SAPSRM/CL_WF_PROCESS_MANAGER.
    Kindly let me know what else i can check to find the root cause.
    Thank you in advance for help!
    Regards

    Hello Vinita;
    Thanks for the input and sorry for the not so "ASAP" reply;
    From what I'm seeing in from your 2 screenshot, i strongly believe that the problem is even before the Z implementation /SAPSRM/IF_EX_WF_RESP_RESOLVER~GET_APPROVERS_BY_AREA_GUID (in which the FM i ZSRM_GET_USER_FROM_PGRP is called. I think the problem could be in the process level determination  ZSRM_WF_BRF_0EXP000_SC_APP100. Let me explain:
    In your  cases where not buyer is determined,  in the approval tab there is not even a process level for buyer approval. If the problem were indeed in the implementation  /SAPSRM/IF_EX_WF_RESP_RESOLVER~GET_APPROVERS_BY_AREA_GUID  then the process level would be there, but the system will display, instead of the name of the buyer(if the buyer determination fails) a red label with the message:  "With the strategy "Buyer determination" an approver could not be determined (or something like that..please check the image at the end of the text)".
    I can propose a way to discard this: Implement the method /SAPSRM/IF_EX_WF_RESP_RESOLVER~GET_FALLBACK_AGENTS of class ZCL_BADI_SC_WC (in case you didn't know, in this method you can specify an "default" approver in case that the determination of approver in GET_APPROVERS_BY_AREA_GUID fails). The idea is to specify an default approval and see how it behaves:
    If the user you indicated in the method GET_FALLBACK_AGENTS appears as approver, then yes, the problem is arises from implementation GET_APPROVERS_BY_AREA_GUID, in which case it could be a data problem (peharps in pposa_bbp?). You could also check in TX SU53 with the users with this problem to see if there's a missing authorization objetc.
    If, in the other hand, the "default" approver is not shown, it means that the process level buyer determination is not even called, so you should check in more detail ZSRM_WF_BRF_0EXP000_SC_APP100 and /SAPSRM/CL_WF_PROCESS_MANAGER > Determine process restart –method ----- (i have never used this method, so i could not tell if  it could be the source of the problem).
    Also, you could implement the method GET_FALLBACK_AGENTS in this way so the default approver would be the WF administrator indicated in the customizing (or you could just append directly any user you want):
    METHOD /SAPSRM/IF_EX_WF_RESP_RESOLVER~GET_FALLBACK_AGENTS.
       DATA: lv_admin_expr TYPE swd_shead-admin_expr,
             lv_admin      TYPE swd_shead-wfi_admin,
             lv_admin_type TYPE sy-input,
             ls_agent      TYPE  /sapsrm/s_wf_approver.
       CALL FUNCTION 'SWD_WF_DEFINITION_ADMIN_GET'
         IMPORTING
           default_admin_expr = lv_admin_expr
           default_admin      = lv_admin
           default_admin_type = lv_admin_type.
       ls_agent-approver_id = lv_admin.
       APPEND ls_agent TO rt_agent.
    ENDMETHOD.
    Error of agent determination:
    Please let me know the result of the test with the implementation of method GET_FALLBACK_AGENT. By doing this we could ensure if really the problem is in method GET_APPROVERS_BY_AREA_GUID or before.  I just made the test in our system and I'm almost sure that you wont get the default approver, but i could be wrong. 
    Any question please let me know.
    Best regards
    Cristian R.

  • Parallel workflow in Process controlled workflow

    Dear experts,
    could you please answer -
    is it possible to use parallel worklow in the process controlled workflow?
    for example, there is a requirement that all the department managers should approve the RFx document or contract.
    Is it possible to simulate this process using the process controlled workflow in SRM 7.0?
    It seems, that in the standard it is possible only via sequential approval - i.e. the first manager approves
    the document, then it goes to the second etc.
    Or all the managers receive the work item, but only one manager in fact approves it.
    Both variants are not suitable.
    Maybe there is another way to simulate the parallel worklow process?
    There is an option called decision sets, but it can be used for shopping cart only.
    Thanks a lot in advance,
    Andrey Averin.

    Hi,
       Yes- This is possible through Process controlled workflow. I am doing a smiler kind of workflow development. like category approvers .. Category approval will split by category...but you have to build the logic such a way that read all the items and send to all the approvers.. But now i have noticed that even through all approvers will receive parallel workitem but Approver A can't open his/her workitem if Approver B is in the process of approve/reject the workitem( Meaning when he double click the workitem in detail) then Approver A will receive a Error pop up message saying that Approver B is working on this document.
