Shopping cart approval work flow based on material group threshold

Former Member

Dear SRM / Workflow experts,

We are running on SRM 7.0 service pack 12 and our requirement is to setup a shopping cart approval based on

Shopping cart line item product category threshold value

i.e. shopping car should go for approval If the value of the SC line item is more than the value of the defined threshold for that product category.

For every product category, there will be threshold needs to be setup and if the shopping cart line item value is more than the product category approval threshold value, then the PO should go for approval.

Could some share your thoughts to setup SC approval workflow this ?

Also, can we setup this approval process without any enhancements ? i.e. through sap standard config etc..? or do we need any bespoke functionality?

Any help on this highly appreciated.

Kind regards,

Govardhan

Hi Govardhan,

We have just implemented a similar requirement. The solution is to have a custom table having material group, its description, threshold value, currency. You can do this development independent of workflow where you can cover this table with proper authorisations and default values for new entries.

When it comes to SC workflow keep in mind the following points:

1) One material group can be used in multiple lines on single SC, in such case do you want to aggregate all line items before comparing it with the threshold value for the material group?

2) What happens when you don't have an entry of the material group in this table.

3) Check for what you need to do when the SC is ordered under the threshold and PO is then changed to above the threshold value.

4) Don't consider deleted items values.
