Question_Workflow for CC Mgr?

[Former Member]

Hi guys,

I have a doubt in the following scenario;

		supervisor	limit (EUR)
Requestor	REQ	MAN_CC	300
CC manager	MAN_CC	-	90,000

Here, the supervisor of the requestor (REQ) & the CC Manager is the same person i.e. MAN_CC

REQ creates a SC with value 5,000 EUR....Approval WF shown as below;

• Buyer approval - BUY
• Sourcing approver - SOURC
• FICO Header - MAN_CC

The approver step of Item value & Header value are clubbed together at Header value as the approver is same for both the levels. This is correct.

Now,

SC value changed to 5,00,000 EUR

But, now when the value of the SC exceeds 90,000 (limit of MAN_CC), still the approval flow has MAN_CC at the FICO header level.

• Buyer approval - BUY
• sourcing approver - SOURC
• Sourcing Head - SOURC_HD
• FICO Header - MAN_CC

Also the SC gets ordered successfully.

Is this a standard behavior or am I correct in thinking that after ordering the SC (value exceeded 90,000), it should have given a FIKO competency Error as there is no approver maintained with such a limit.

If this is a standard behavior, can you please explain the logic behind this.

Please revert.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

If you buy above (>) 90,000  and there is no limit approver for it the workflow will error out.

@Melina: thanks for the reply

so I'm correct in understanding that the workflow should give an error and SC can't be ordered if the value exceeds 90,000

but in my case the approval flow didn't give any error and SC was ordered

what could be the reason?

is there any loop hole in the workflow....if yes what can possibly be wrong with the workflow

f.y.i - I'm testing this scenario in Quality.

Hi,

Have you tested above 90,000? Like 95,000?

Can you see any error in the WFL log at SWI6 or SWi1?

Have you checked at SWO1 for BUS4101 the approver limit and next approval level to see ?

Cheers,
