Get approval item status before save - SRM Cart

Hi guys,

I'm having an issue with the status of an item from a shopping cart.

After reading lots of old posts:

Ex: https://archive.sap.com/discussions/thread/2119394

https://archive.sap.com/discussions/thread/259215

http://allaboutsapsrm.blogspot.ro/2012/02/item-based-approval-in-application.html

and many others ...

I still haven't found a way to get the current status of an item before save / submit.

Could you advise on a solution or post ? I'm not looking for tables that contain the value (as CRM_JEST, or similar) because the value isn't saved yet. Just reading the buffer status.

Regards,

Marius
