Can i Cannge the WF_INITIATOR for SRM Approval Workflow.

Hi Experts,

I am facing issue related to sendor name format.

Whenever SRM approval workflow gets triggered then corresponding responsible user(Approver) gets a mail in their SAP inbox.

I checked in the system these workflow runs using RFC_USER user.So approver gets mail with sendor information as RFC_USER i.e. "Sent: Jun 17, 2011 by RFC_USER, Functional ID "

My requirement is to replace this RFC_USER with some other generic user.

Can anybody tell me please how can i achieve this.

Thanks,

Hello,

Usually, if I want to do anything unusual with mails from workflow then I create a step which calls a task which calls a new method of my BOR object which calls fm SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1. In that we can specify Sender name different from WF_BATCH or RFC_USER.

Check the following Code for sending mail.

CALL FUNCTION 'SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1'

EXPORTING

document_data = doc_chng

put_in_outbox = 'X'

sender_address = 'SAPSCHED'

sender_address_type = 'B'
