Approval_history_table of BADI BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI

Hi all,
Can anybudy tell me what all entries will come in runtime for the table approval_history_table of BADI BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI.
Will it contain all the approving agents populated in previous BADI calls? And what does flag "type" in the table brings?
Thanks
Sangharsh

Hi Sunil,
I don't think you need to code with the actual_approval_index.
We don't use the actual_approval_index, but just add approvers and levels to the export-table as needed.
Suppose you would need the follwing scenario:
- total value <= 100 : no approval
- total value > 100 : 1-step approval
- total value > 1000 : 2-step approval
- total value > 10000 : 3-step approval
CALL FUNCTION 'BBP_PD_SC_GETDETAIL'
EXPORTING
i_guid = lv_guid
i_object_id = object_id
IMPORTING
e_header = ls_header.
IF ls_header-total_value le 100.
no_further_approval_needed = 'X'.
endif.
IF ls_header-total_value > 100.
ls_approver-approval_index = 1.
ls_approver-approval_agent = 'US 146296'.
ls_approver-name = 'SA'.
ls_approver-approval_description = 'First approval step'.
APPEND ls_approver TO approval_table.
endif.
if ls_header-total_value > 1000.
ls_approver-approval_index = 2.
ls_approver-approval_agent = 'US 146720'.
ls_approver-name = 'BA'.
ls_approver-approval_description = 'Second approval step1'.
APPEND ls_approver TO approval_table.
endif.
if ls_header-total_value > 10000.
ls_approver-approval_index = 3.
ls_approver-approval_agent = 'US 146474'.
ls_approver-name = 'SU'.
ls_approver-approval_description = 'Third approval step1'.
APPEND ls_approver TO approval_table.
endif.

How to capture the Actual approver from BADI :BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI

If the approval branch(index) has 5 approvers and If any one of them is approving,
the APPROVAL_HISTORY_TABLE has all the 5 approvers of that branch.
User1 is one of the 5 users.When he is approving,the approval table has all the 5 approvers and no where the actual approver of that branch is captured.
Can we capture the actual approver based on Sy-Uname?
Or is there any other specific solution?please suggest.

Hello Kittu,
Here is below process for BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI BAdI call by function modul:
BBP_WFL_DIN_APPR_CONTAINER_SET > BBP_WFL_DIN_APPR_FINALLIST_GET > BBP_WFL_DIN_APPR_CONTAINER_GET > BAdI BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI.
Now, check what's happened for first function module local variable lv_actual_index and local table lt_cont_approver
coming from BAdI parameters ACTUAL_APPROVAL_INDEX and APPROVAL_TABLE.
Maybe your BAdI method is not correctly implemented.
Regards.
Laurent.

Purpose of table of APPROVAL_ADMINISTRATORS in BADI BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI

Hi Gyus,
what is the purpose of the table parameter APPROVAL_ADMINISTRATORS in BADI BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI? Is it to pass on approval information to the WF-Administrator?
Where can I find a useful description on this?
Kind regards,
Thomas

Hi,
You need to populate this table in the badi if you need to define an administrator for the workflow.
If the approvers are not found in the badi,you can fill the adminsitartor table with workflow admin deatils in the badi because of which the work item will go to the workflow admin.
See these useful related threads:

Debbuger never stop in BADI 'BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI' 's Method Implementation

Hi Experts,
We are implementing the PO n-step BADI workflow WS14000145 . I have implemented the method 'GET_REMAING_APPROVERS' of BADI 'BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI', but when I put a break-point, the debbuger never stop!!!... please help about it!.
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
Try the following:
- Set a breakpoint at function BBP_PDH_WFL_DB_UPDATE;
- Craete the cart. Breakpoint should stop in FM above;
- Change variable IV_IN_DIALOG to X (it is blank originally);
- Set a breakpoint at BBP_WFL_DIN_APPR_BY_RULE_GET. In here the badi to determine the approvers is called;
- F6 down until the call of this badi, i.e. CALL METHOD lv_wfl_appr_list_exit->get_remaing_approvers.

Urgent help on SC approval BADI BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI

Hello SRM Gurus,
   I am working on the BADI BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI for SC Approval.I need some clarifications on the foll points before I can proceed with the development...
My requirement is
1>The no of levels of Approval depends on the total Value fo SC and the Product Category of the Items(i.e. the Whole shopping cart since all the Items will be of the same Product category as well as same cost centre).
   Based on the combination of these 2 values,I will have to set the approval_index field.
2>Also after this,based on the combination of the value for the fields Product Category + Cost centre,the approvers have to be determined.
Now for the deteremination of Approvers,either a custom table can be   maintained or they ca be retrieved form teh Org structure itself.
But now here,for getting the Approvers,if I have to get the apporvers from the Table(database table bbpt_wfl_lia_def),I can only maintain the combination of values for the fields Cost center and Prod category and the corresponding agent and not the approval level.How do I link the approval index and the approvers???
Also, if i ma getting the approvers form the Org structure how is the link between Cost centre+Prod cat and Corresponding approver maintained????Or in case of getting the approvers for the Org structure,I just need to get the Chief/manager of the Person who is creating the Shopping cart(Since cost centre will be maintained at the User level)???
3>Also since my approval is purely at the Header level,whcih of the example implementations given with the std BADI will be usitable for my reqt(particularly for the APprovers part)????
Also since mine is Header level approval(since cost center+Prod cat will necessarily be same the whole of the SC,do I need to activate only the workflow 14000133(and no other wfs i.e.WS14500015,WS10000031,WS10000060,WS10000129 )?
Also,Please correct me if i have gone wrong in any of my understanding.Any help on this is highly appreciated.
Regards,
Disha.

Though i think this was posted long back, but still:
You need to do a BRF configration which will take care of ur approval levels and the corresponding approvers.
You need to define the schemas there.

Error with workflow approval BADI- BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI

Hi All,
We are running SRM 5.5 Classic Scenario.
We have activated "BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI" for n-step approval process of shopping carts. From a certain period of time I am facing the following problem: when a user, with defined output limit in the extended attributes, creates shopping cart below this limit, the shopping cart instead to be ordered immediately stays in status u201CIn your inboxu201D and there is a message in the field "notes for approval" that the user WF-BATCH is not assigned in the organizational structure, and the item status is u201Cawaiting approvalu201D. Although, if you go to approval preview, the message is that no approval is required, the shopping cat is sent for approving to the manager.
It is very strange, because workflow user has never been assigned to the organizational structure and the other strange thing is that this problem exists in all SRM systems (development, quality and training).
We tried to debug the BADI, and we couldn't find any problem. The BADI first checks the spent limit of the user (which is the set output limit in the extended attributes of that user) and because the validation is ok (the value of the shopping cart is below the spent limit) the process stops. But at the same time the shopping cart is sent for approving to the first manager.
Has anybody of you faced this problem?
Thank you in advance!
Desislava

Hi Masa,
Yes, this is my issue, that the shopping cart is sent to the manager for approving! And at the same time when the user is checking the status of the shopping cart -the status is"In your inbox" and the status of the item is "awaiting approval". When you go to item details-> to additional specification tab(field), a system message is generated in the field "notes for approval" and the message is "Cannot find org unit for user WF-BATCH". In my opinion that means that the system is searching for WF-batch as approver. Let me briefly tell you how the BADi works, first validates the spent limit of the user if the value of the shopping cart is below then the shopping cart should be sent directly to r/3 system and a PO should be created. If the value is above, the system start checking to which organizational unit the users belongs, and after that determines the first approver!
Hope it is more clear for you!
Thanks
Desislava

N Step Approval BADI - BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI

We have implemented this BADI and are having problems with the agent determination.
When creating and ordering the cart the approval preview shows the correct approval agents.
When clicking the 'Agents' button within the workflow log via SWI1, the message 'No selected agents' (Message no. WL795) is shown.
The buffers have been refreshed via SWU_OBUF and the indexes and organisational environment have been refreshed.
Has anyone had this problem before, and if so what steps did you have to undertake to cure it ?
Thanks
Keith

How to fetch Requestor of the PO in BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI

Hi All,
While processing PO in, I need to retrieve the approvers based on the approval limit of the Requestor.
However, I am not able to execute the FM BBP_PD_PO_GETDETAIL as during creation of PO, system is not giving the value of the OBJECT_ID. (I am getting the guid into the BADI)
Hence, can any one specify what exactly I need to do to fetch the Requestor (creator) of the Purchase Order details in the BADI BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI.
Thanks in Advance
Venky

Hi,
I guess you can pass the GUID also to the FM "BBP_PD_PO_GETDETAIL ".If not,you can always get the object ID using the GUID from the tbale CRMD_ORDERADM_H.
You will get the requestor name in the tables E_HEADER(PO header data ) e_header-created_by by field .
You just need to use this FM directly to get all the details of the PO.

BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI error scenario

Hi,
SRM 5.0
I have activated N-Step BADI BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI and it works well (good scenario cases) as per the customization.
In the customization, many tables are accessed. Due to some reasons if the record is not available, how do I error out ?
I want the user to see the error in the "approval preview" as well.
Is it possible ?
Pranav

Hi
Thanks
In my case, if there is an error (say no record), the work item has not been sent to the approver. When I check the SC (in approval preview), it shows "approver...." BLANK.
The reason is that the custom program can't get the record as it doesn't exist.
Do you mean in this scenario I can use BBP_DOC_CHECK_BADI ?

BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI - There are already implementations active

Hi
I was thinking about using badi BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI to set up different approvers for approval of the Shopping Cart in SRM. But unfortunately I get the message "There are already implementations active". Looks like SAP is already using this BADI. Does that mean that there is no way that I can use this BADI too?
Best regards
Steen

Hi Steen,
please look at BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI in SE80. In the object tree you should see the implemantation(s).

Using BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI for a user defined WF

Hi SRM Workflow Gurus,
May I know if it is possible to use BADI BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI for a custom workflow aside from the standard WS14000145? If yes, how do we differentiate (ABAP code) in the BADI?
What I want is to have different starting conditions based on the GOODS RECIPIENT's org unit. I don't know if you can use the org unit as a criteria in your BADI since from the samples, it is purely PO header fields that are used...I'm not too sure. Is there a better alternative to creating a new workflow?
Regards,
Marvin

The Badi is there to provide a means of creating your own approval behaviour of SC's and PO's.
The examples of the badi implementations are not used as guidelines.
Just create your own custom logic in the Badi, which can be based on anything..
Kind regards, Rob Dielemans

BADI to manage approver with SC workflow WS 14000109

Hello,
Is it possible to manage the approvers determined by the SC workflow WS 14000109 Approval n-step over Value Limit ?
By default, this workflow get the approver defined in the attribute SLAPPROVER. But is there any possibility to determined another approver ?
It seems the badi BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI can only be used with the SC workflow WS 14000133.
Thanks for your help.

Hello,
As far as I know, badi BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI can only be used with workflow 14000133.
Other workflows determine approvers hardcoded.

Ricardo

Regarding srm badis

Hi all,
my problem is when shopping cart is created, an RFC call is made to ECC5 to from SRM to determine the release strategies and agents, to do this do i need to implement the badi bbp_doc_save_badi or bbp_wfl_approv_badi.
when i have to use the badi bbp_wfl_approv_badi.
thanks
kishore

Hi,
If you are using the n step approval workflow (header level) i.e. WS14000133for Shopping cart approval,then you need to write the code in the badi BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI to determine the agents.In this BADI,you can then make the call to ECC system to fetch the approvers users based on the release startegy.All this logic needs to be written in the Badi.
