SC for Approval in Future

Former Member — Thu, 09 May 2013 00:57:23 GMT

Hello,

The transaction SWI5 gives the completed and current SC pending for approval with user.

How do I pick up the SC which will come in future for approval for a particular user.

Ex..SC is created and say is pending for approval at BUYER level. This should be the future SC for President who is also identified as approver.

Thanks

Hi Bhavesh,

SWI5 transaction code does not give out approver which will get work item ID in future as until the predecessor work agent complete the work item.

In order for you to get the future agent of the workflow you could build some report if you do not have BI integrated as BI/BW provides Shopping cart approval Agent Report.

You could use Function module "BBP_WFL_DIN_APPR_CONTAINER_GET" and enter the work item ID of the Shopping cart which you can get from BBP_PD (Main workflow ID).

Hope this helps.

Thank you

Ritesh

Thanks for details.

The FM was based on a workitem_ID of SC. My concern is from user point of view, where user wants to identify which SC are in future pipeline.

I understood to build a report, though I thought may be writing a query will help

Thanks again,

Bhavesh.

Hi Bhavesh,

If you are looking to build query then look at table SWW_CONT, Where you have to enter the work flow ID of Shopping cart and it will give list of approver as Value with Element as "APPROVERLIST". But the value is kind of cryptic :-)...
