SRM 7.0 Issue

Question

Hi Experts,
This issue is in the implementing of SRM 7.0 and in the rejection scenario of the Shopping Cart (thru SRM portal), we want to make the "Approval note" a mandatory field to be filled in by the Approver.
The following is what I have done thus far:
1.     In the implemented class: ZCL_IM_SC_VALIDATE.
2.     Use Function Module BBP_PD_SC_GETDETAIL to get E_LONGTEXT.
3.     Use method GET_CURRENT_DECISION of class /SAPSRM/CL_WF_APV_FACADE to get current decision. 
4.     Check if current decision is REJECTED.
5.     Check if E_LONGTEXT has TDID = NOTM.
6.     Populate error message u201CEnter Rejection Reason in Approval Noteu201D on to ET_MESSAGE.
But when the approver clicks on REJECT button on the UWL, the SRM portal throws an exception. This exception is in class /SAPSRM/CL_PDO_BO_SC method CHANGE_DOCUMENT.
Thanks in advance,
Thembass.

Hi Themba,
This sounds like a requirement we had to implement in our system. It was tricky, but we got it. Someone else on this forum mighthave a better method, but here is what we did:
1.) Enhance class /SAPSRM/CL_CH_WD_BOM_SC and add a Pre-Exit to method /SAPSRM/IF_CLL_BOM_SCREJECT,which gets called when the user rejects the shopping cart. In this pre-exit method, set a flag variable and export that variable to a memory ID. You should probably also create a pre-exit to method /SAPSRM/IF_CLL_BOM_SCAPPROVE that clears out this memory ID so if the user decides to approve the cart instead, they don't get the rejection logic.
2.) Use an implementation of BADI BBP_DOC_CHECK_BADI to import the memory ID with your rejection flag. If the flag is checked from your pre-exit, validate the rejection note stored in E_LONGTEXT, tdid='NOTM' from your call to BBP_PD_SC_GETDETAIL. (actually, it looks like you already have most of this step in place)
That should do the trick. Good luck!
