Multiple approvers at each process levels in srm 7.0

[Former Member]

We are on stand alone scenario in SRM 7 and invoice management is activated in the system. We have also configured approvals for
invoices. We have 2 levels of approvals for invoices and our requirement is to have multiple approvers at each level. Curently
we are getting multiple approvers but if any one of them approves the document is getting approved whereas we want all the
approvers to approve before the document is created.

Can you please advice on how we can do this.

Also our SC approval is based on product category and so is item level approval. Currently whenever we have multiple items in the SC
with different Product categories the SC is in approval with different approvers. However all these approvers are able to see the
items which are not relevant to them. In other words the whole SC is visible for them for approval which instead should only be their items

Decision type Item-based decision for partial document is not possible for Invoice.

See Knowledge base Article below:

1465831 - List of decision types available for SRM documents

This means instead of using Item-based decision for partial document, you use Item based decision for entire document or Decision for entire document.

Hi Laurent,

Thanks for your reply. i mentioned 2 problems in my post. One with invoice and one with SC approvals.

We are not using item based decision for partial document for invoice. We are using this in SC and have this problem that all the items are available for the approver in the SC.

Our problem with invoice is we need to have multiple approvers at the same level.

Ramya

Hello Ramya,

For SC items, if decision type is '4' and you do not use a specific Responsability Resolver Name, what you describe is a standard bug because it should not happen.

If you use specific Resolver Name, your ABAP code is not correct.
