Internal service requests without PM/CS scenario

[humberto_amador]

Hello gurus,

I seek your advice to know how I can record and start a workflow, in order to approve internal service requests conceived under the direct activity allocation scheme planned and executed under CO, by means of a transaction like KB21N. The catch is not to use a PM/CS scenario.

The basic idea is: the user requests an internal service which starts a workflow chain where it handles to the manager this one deciding to approve or reject the application; then the system should change the status of the service request accordingly. Just then, based on this status the direct activity allocation could be recorded or notified to the final cost object.

In short, it would be a sort of requisition order (MM), but with the variant to be used for direct activity allocation available only under CO.

Hello Humberto,

The issue would be what your cost object here. Different objects have different scenarios belonging to different modules. Such as if you use internal order: You can assign the budget and when it exceeds, you can define a warning or error message but a workflow would be more complex.

Best regards,

Hello Jason, thank your for your response.

In those terms it seems rather a logic step for any cost object really. I think that in such scenario the problem narrows down to the fact of checking the budget availability by means of an interface to external systems (my case). Do you know any bapi or program that could fulfill this requirement, I mean the budget availability check?
