Use

In this Customizing activity, you can access the BRFplus function Determine Document Subset of SC Items (/SRMERP/F_WF_DETERMINE_DSS_SC) to group items of a purchasing document into document subsets. All items in a document subset enter the same approval process. The approval processes of different document subsets run independently of each other. For example, a shopping cart can provide one document subset of items that require an approval by one or more managers, and another document subset of items that are approved automatically.

For more information about BRFplus, see SAP Help Portal at http://help.sap.com under SAP NetWeaver Library --> SAP NetWeaver Library: Function-Oriented View --> Application Server --> Application Server ABAP --> Other Services --> Services for Application Developers --> Business Rule Framework plus.

Requirements

Standard settings

The BRFplus function Determine Document Subset of SC Items (/SRMERP/F_WF_DETERMINE_DSS_SC) is called by the default implementation /SRMERP/BD_DEF_WF_DSS_MPPR_SC of BAdI Map Document Items to Document Subsets (/SRMERP/BD_WF_DOC_SUBSET_MAPPR). As long as this BRFplus function does not contain a ruleset, the default BAdI implementation groups all items of a shopping cart into one document subset, that is, only one approval process is started.

Activities

To define document subsets, you assign your own ruleset to BRFplus function Determine Document Subset of SC Items (/SRMERP/F_WF_DETERMINE_DSS_SC). The ruleset should check the attributes of the shopping cart items, determine the appropriate document subset name, and change the return parameter Return DSS Name (RV_DOC_SUBSET_NAME ) accordingly.

Example

You define that items valued below 100 USD are approved automatically while items valued at 100 USD or more enter an n-step approval process. You create a ruleset that checks the value of each item and returns the corresponding document subset name. For example, you can define the following document subset names:

  • NO_APPROVAL for items valued below 100 USD
  • APPROVAL_REQUIRED for items valued at 100 USD or more
