Workflow in Purchase Order / Purchase Requisition

[Former Member]

Hello guys,

My client has a requirement that there will be release strategy applied on Purchase Order. this will be one level approval.

But the approver should have ability to add an adhoc approver for this Purchase Order.

Can anyone tell me how this can be done using Release strategy with Workflow?

Thanks in advance.

The logic will be same. Do you need regularly ?

It has to do by customizing ,It does not automatically insert ad hoc approvers into the workflow. When necessary, you may manually insert an ad hoc approver between you and another approver remaining in the approval workflow. You can look up the user ID of an ad hoc approver Be sure to select the correct ad hoc approver from the list to route the PO correctly.

Hi

You have re-direct his mail inbox to another user or to share with him when he is busy or in holidays.This will be done in workflow .But it is better to do in workflow instead of doing in release.

Jeevan,

Thanks for the response.

The solution you have proposed is for 'Substitute' Approver. But this still doesnot address, adhoc addition of approver in the Approval process.

Hi Abhijit,

You can attach a document to the PO document directly using the transaction ME21N and then modify the workflow in order to attach the attachment in the workitem.

Hi Fernando,

The requirement is not towards additional document attachement,

The requirement is to Release PO with an additional adhoc approver in the workflow.

Thanks,
