Remove approval step at the time of ordering

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have some carzy requirement. we have implemented PCW for SC ( item based partial approval type). In some scenarios there is a possbility that apporvers might repeat for certain steps. for example

level1 - user1

leve2 user2

level 3 user 1

level4 user 4

in this case what I want is, I want to remove level 1.  How do I do this?

thanks

Hello sankara rao bhatta ,

I had a same problem with the workflow . Moreover it when same user is having dual roles then Workflow start repeating . We have been using ACW so I did the code change in the BADI BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI  for method GET_REMAING_APPROVERS. Under this you need to find method  get_approval_hier_line , then under this method you need to find  method get_appr_hier_format_ln_item  . Under this method you can code your requirement before the approval_table is getting filled and after the table where all the approvers are picked everytime . For my case it was  lt_appr_frmt. This part will help you to overcome the looping issue with dual role .

Moreover if you are only looking to delete the level1 at run time then you need to code in FM BBP_WFL_DIN_APPR_CONTAINER_GET as this is the standard FM so you can do your enhancement over there . Check when you table  lt_cont_approver is getting filled . Once its filled then you can delete the approvers at run time . I have coded that as well . Just sort and delete duplicates .
