Hello All,
We are upgrading from SRM 5.0 to SRM 702 SP10. We had decided to stay with ACW as change capability in item based approval is not available nor switching to change (completion) mode after an approval step.
BAdIs BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI implemented to trigger WS14500015 for item based approvals and BAdI BBP_WFL_SECUR_BADI to provide the change capability at the required levels. However, the workflow never restarts even when security level is set at 2 (always restart). The restart works as expected if I use a document level approval process (WS10000129 - One Step approval of shopping cart). On debugging I found that the function module BBP_PDH_WFL_CHECK_RESTART is never executed for item based approval both in the 5.0 and 7.02 systems.
- Is this a known issue/behavior? (I haven't been able to find any documentation).
- Has anyone successfully implemented the restart for item based approval in ACW (even in a 5.0 environment)? if yes, please let me know how it was done.
A strange thing I noticed in my debugging, BBP_WFL_SECUR_BADI gets executed 3 times when a user starts the approval process in the 702 system whereas it only gets executed once in the 5.0 system. Not sure why.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Ramki.
Upon further investigation I have found that no restart is available for item based approval by design. Found OSS note 777133 which provides a mechanism to restart with the help of a Z table in SRM Server 5nn.
Thanks, Ramki.
