Lock Business Partner for use while Create/Change using Workflow

[MKM]

Hi Experts,

I have a requirement to lock Business Partner (BP) for use during any change in CounterParty role. It should go for a 2 level Workflow approval.

I have created a custom workflow using BUS1006 -> Change method.

But i am not able to understand, there is also a standard workflow WS20000263 for action TRLOAPPROV getting triggered. Is it possible to block it using this standard worklfow.

If not, then how to lock the BP using my custom workflow ? which FM/BAPI to be used to Set/Reset Central Lock flag in status tab of BP ? Will it lock BP for use only by setting this flag ?

Thanks in advance,

Manoj

Hello Experts,

I am trying to do it using BAPI_BUPA_CENTRAL_CHANGE in my custom workflow for BUS1006.

But stuck at below point.

We have to restrict our workflow for BP General and Counterparty Role specific field value changes only.

Is their any FM/BAPI which can tell us, what last changes happened to a BP ?

Also require a lock type which won't block already triggered transactions ( Ex. BANK account). It will only block new transactions after locking the BP.

Thanks in advance,
