To overcome Authorization error while executing a Function module

[Former Member]

Hello Friends,

In my custom workflow , I need to execute a validation function module ( SAP standard ) in a dialog step - Approval step.

But the issue is approvers will not have authorization to the FM ( They have minimum authorization - Just to approver the custom workflow ) .

So , I need to know is ther a option to execute the FM using another user ID ( a BATCH user ID ) .

thanks

make the validation task before the dialogue step. a general task will run in background from user WF-BATCH and that wont need to authorization issue... after completion of this validation you can go for the dialogue step i.e the approval step..
