Change N Step work item text

[Former Member]

Hi. We are using the N step workflow with SRM 4.

We have got the workflow working fine and the approval preview is fine.

However, all the approvals have the same text in the inbox "Approve shopping cart from ...... with value .......".

We want the workflow text to contain the approval type from the approval preview.

The text is in the original workflow but it is not passed to the sub workflow and the task that creates the work item in the users inbox.

I could change the task and the binding to pass the description down, but won't that get overwritten by support packs?

Is there any other way? I've tried method SET_APPROVAL_DESCRIPTION in the N step BADI but that does not do anything. It is called but it changes nothing that I can see.

Does anyone know how we can get the step description into the work item text?

Thanks a lot for your help,

Dave.

Hi,

Customer defined workitem is available.

Transaction: PFTC_DIS

Menu: Edit -> Workitem text -> Redefine, Customer Definition

Save.

Transaction: SWU_OBUF, refresh buffer

Hi. I tried that already, the text from the approval preview s not passed down to the sub workflow, so we can not add it this way unless we change the binding.
