SAP Build Process Workflow: Approvers from ABAP on cloud in Workflow

[nishantbansal91]

We are developing the application where Backend is ABAP on cloud and Front end is SAP Build App. We are designing the workflow in SAP process automation.

We have maintained all our approvers information in ABAP on cloud and API is already exposed from ABAP on cloud. Can we use the same API for approvers information in Business rule or do we need to create new approvers table inside the process automation workflow.?

You could. Create an Action to fetch the correct list of approvers for the context. Use the Action output as the input for the Recipients.

Hi @nishantbansal91,

My understanding is that you should have the approvers list on BPA as the process of WF starts from BPA.

But I'm curious to know which API you are using to read the approvers list on your backend system?

Thanks,

Hello Venkat,

I have created the custom API in ABAP for approvers details. But as per my understanding we can't use the API in workflow.

Hello @nishantbansal91,

I think you can try the below:

1. Creation an Actions project for the custom API to get the approvers details.

2. Add that Actions project in the Automation and write a custom script to get the approvers details as output parameters.

3. Then add that Automation in the Business Process and trigger the Workflow.

Please let me know your views.

Thanks,
