If the approver is blocked in SRM V 4.0

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am a bit concerned about the way EBP works in this respect. Could you please give me some more information:

When we create an ettBUY user, you always have to put in an approver for this user. What happens with the approver information, when the approver's id is blocked? Does the information disappear? Is there no longer information about the user's approver in the system?

I am not involved in user creation and have no access to user data. Therefore, I cannot provide you with the required information. Do you have any idea regarding this ?

Looking forward to receive your information in this regard.

Regards.

Hi

Which SRM version are you using ?

<u>What i understood is this from the requirement is this -></u>

No, the approver information when the approver's id is blocked does not gets disappear for old Templates.

But Yes, there is no longer information about the user's approver in the system for further assignments in future.

<u>Please elaborate your requirements, incase you need any other details.</u>

<b>Meanwhile, also go through the following SAP OSS Notes -></b>

Note 1010970 mySAP ERP enhancement package 2005.1: Enterprise Services

Note 910632 PREVIEW:Locked approvers are also displayed

Hi Atul,

We are working in SRM V4.0. My query is suppose an User is creating a shopping cart and he finds that his approver Id is blocked in the System after few days when he didn't obtain the approval from his Manager,then in that case how the system will inform the User about it.

Or in that case the System sends any mail to User?

Hi

No the system will not inform or send any mails to the user.

Only once the shopping cart is changed (approved, rejected, partially rejected, etc..) then only the system will send emails.

Hope this will answer your queries.
