Using FQevent 5504 -> Clarification changed document

[l_molenaar]

Hello,

We are trying to set up an approval step for changed document. At the moment we are trying to use FQevent 5504.

If the payment method changed we are setting to following exporting fields:

E_C4EYE     =     '01'     (this value has been included into the customising)

E_C4LEV     =     '1'        (One other person has to check this)

E_C4LST     =     'X'       (We don't want the worflow just a simple approval step)

After a document change it asked if the saving needs to continue because the change needs to be approved.

So far so good (from what i understand).

But if we check the transaction FMCADOCA there is no list / documents in place.

Can someone please help me out here, what am i doing wrong?

Thanks a lot,

Lukas Molenaar

Hi Lucas,

So what I could get from your post is you are trying to approve the changes through transaction FMCADOCA and not through workflow.

Can you go to the following configuration-

IMG--->Financial Accounting---> Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable-->Basic Functions--->Postings and Documents--->Workflows for Checks and Authorizations--->Define Check Reasons

Now for reason 01, check the indicator for no changes is ticked or not.

This indicator defines that document changes are not permitted before the workflow is completed for confirmation.

Also, after making changes the error persist, then I would recommend to come back with the status of the changed document, whether its getting approved or a workflow is getting triggered.

Hope it helps...

Thanks,

Amlan

Hello Amlan,

It is correct that i'm not trying to use workflow. A simple approval step, from what i understand transaction FMCADOCA can do is enough to meet the requirements of the customer.

At the moment i've set the IMG setting you have described as follows:

After changing the document in FPE2 the event 5504 is triggered,.

If I view the document in FPE3 it looks like:

I cannot change the document at this time (so that is good!)

The problem in this is that the transaction FMCADOCA is still empty (no document to be approved). This occures for both my user and another user (that didn't do the change).

I hope this can help.

In case you need more info please let me know,

Thanks a lot,

Lukas
