SC change in the N step approval takes to Next approver

[Former Member]

Hi All,

We are implemented N step badi, While creating shopping cart we have two step process like

First Step.

When Requestor creates Shopping cart , the cart will route to buyer for Sourcing(This will comes under completion workflow)

Second step : Once buyer does the sourcing the cart will back to requestor with the status "In your Inbox", once requestor does any change in the cart will add buyer as the first approver in the N-Step approval badi. In our approval process if any one change the document then N-Step workflow will get restarted from the requestor again. So here my issue is the first approver buyer, whenever he does the changes the workflow should not get restarted.

Please give your suggestion how to bypass the cart to the next approver even though the approver does the change in the cart.

Thanks,

Siibi,

Check BBP_WFL_SECURITY setting of the buyer role under PERSONALIZATION tab in PFCG transaction. You would need authrorization level of 2 or 3.

If the Authorization level is...

4 (High) - Approval Continues

3 (Medium) - The approval starts from the beginning, if new workflow found

2 (Low) - The approval starts from the beginning

1 - Shopping cart could not be changed
