Please go through the Part 1 Forward Button customization for better understanding.
Many time there are custom requirements for which it requires the need of creating Enhancement in standard SAP functionality.
Overview : PO Approvers are maintained in Release Strategy. Once the PO is generated it is set to be approved by PO approvers based on the levels maintained in PPOME structure. Only then the PO will be set to 03 status in EKKO.
Pre-requisite : All the roles and authorization must be given to the approvers to access the PO Approval Tile in SAP Fiori.
Requirement : If the approver find the PO is incorrect, he will reject the PO. The rejection of PO must contain the rejection text. Since the Text is an optional there comes up the challenge to make it mandatory.
Solution:
There are many ways to do this
1. Doing changes in Front-End using BTP/WEB IDE.
2. Making it mandatory from ECC
I chose the 2nd method since there was some issue in licensing the BTP and it was not configured correctly.
Making it mandatory from ECC
My PO tile looks like this
When the approver click on the Reject button , he must enter the Rejection note. If he doesn't then the PO should not be rejected.
SAP has provided only few objects which can be modified without the BTP framework. PO Approval is one of it. The main thing to note and find the Odata.
How to find the OData which will can be used for my development?
You can find the OData from going to Fiori tile -> Do Frontend debugging-> Refresh the page-> Navigate to Network Tab -> Find Path starting with key words /sap/opu/odata
In my case the OData is GBAPP_POAPPROVAL
/sap/opu/odata/SAP/GBAPP_POAPPROVAL
You can also find it through the XML file
Now you have the Standard OData name, it must be implemented so that it could connect with the backend system by providing the system name in External system.
Odata Implementation: The ODATA deployment is Central HUB . We have separate GW systems for hosting Fiori Tiles.
Tcode : /n/iwfnd/maint_service
Now one must get 200 response after connecting it with backend system.
Tcode : /n/iwfnd/gw_client
Till now OData is successfully configured. Now its time to find the BADI in ECC system to implement. This can be found in my previous Blog
Let me directly jump to the method which would be required to implement.
The method is Change SET_DECISION method
Here the SAP Standard documentation is pretty clear about the way of processing. You can go through it.
Accept : iv_decision = 1.
Reject : iv_decision = 2.
If you want nothing should happen mark ev_decision_processed = 'X'.
METHOD IF_GBAPP_EX_APV_PO_RDP~CHANGE_SET_DECISION.
" Standard Documentation: Do not delete
* This method can be used to enable execution of a workitem
* without updating a purchase order. The customer should
* implement the method and call a corresponding function to execute
* the workitem followed by COMMIT WORK.
* To avoid update of the purchase order, it is necessary to set the
* output parameter EV_DECISION_PROCESSED to 'X'.
* Preventing update of a document can be necessary, if the customer
* uses his own workflow where update of purchase order takes place
* in a separate background workflow step.
IF iv_decision EQ 2.
IF iv_rejection_text IS INITIAL.
ev_decision_processed = 'X'.
ELSE.

CALL FUNCTION 'ZFIORI_PO_APPROVAL_REJ_CHG' IN UPDATE TASK
EXPORTING
iv_ebeln = iv_pc_number
TABLES
t_return = t_return.
COMMIT WORK.
ENDIF.
ENDIF.
ENDMETHOD.
As per my requirement if the approver accept I should not check anything and simply make it happen, hence I have not done anything with iv_decision = 1. If you want, you can add your custom requirement under it.
For me I have marked ev_decision_processed = 'X', if rejection text/ note in not provided.
I have used a Update Task FM because these were the async call hence the system was giving dump while updating the EKKO. So as to correct this I have divided it in 2 Logical unit. A wait of 5 secs have introduced so that the previous task gets over.
