Release strategy for printing a purchasing document

[former_member712372]

Good afternoon.

Colleagues, tell me please, we cannot defeat one problem, we have set up the order release strategy, everything is fine, but now we have been tasked with pulling out this approval for printing the purchase documents so that the signers can be seen on paper, who approved it and whether it was agreed at all in the system and etc., etc.
Printing of the purchase document is implemented in smartform, output to PDF format.
Can anyone come across this topic? we can't even find the table where it all lies, maybe there is a FM what? with which you can pull out such data for printing?

Not sure about your requirement!

Before releasing PO - you can go for PO output with watermark appearing in background for your DFAFT PO.

After PO completely released - you can have final RELEASED PO for your vendor with version number appearing in PO layout but I am not sure why you want to show releasers name in PO layout as no business for vendor to know PO approver names as a data within your organization but for communication purpose you can show buyer name and contact details in PO layout....

This requirement came from the customer and he does not care what the supplier sees by agreement

My task: I need to get the names of the approvers from the purchase order release strategy.

Then it needs to be displayed on the smart form.

This information is stored in MEREL_S_GRID1 (structure) in ABAP in the STEXT field.

How do I get this information by encoding it in the program lines?
