Hi Folks

I am implementing badi PT_GEN_REQ to provide approver based on custom table for ess leave request workflow. I am trying to pass Actor to one of its

EX_DEF_NEXT_PROC_ACTOR . but its not taking it and throwing an error that ' Type of actor cannot be converted to type of EX_DEF_NEXT_PROC_ACTOR. I understand that actor is 'Char 14 ' and the other variable is an interface. Please guide me how to pass the values to EX_DEF_NEXT_PROC_ACTOR in the badi,

Regards

Waz

Thanx for your response,first of all. I donot want to follow the hierarchy. Actually there is a custom table where user will put the positions for each pers.sub area and based on that particular table, a set of approvers would be determined. I have coded the logic in the badi however as a final step I am unable to pass the actor ID to

VALUE( EX_RESPONSIBLE_ACTOR ) (export parameter) for method FIND_RESP_AND_DEFAULT_NEXT_PRC.

If you have implemented this badi, plz share a sample code.

you need to use create_actor method

CALL METHOD actor_agent->create_actor
EXPORTING
im_actor_type = 'P'
im_otype = 'P'
im_objid = '00000008'
IMPORTING
ex_actor = ex_responsible_actor
EXCEPTIONS
missing_parameter = 1
pernr_not_existing = 2
application_error = 3
OTHERS = 4.

the above code is already there in the method just uncomment and evaluate.
