Use
In this Customizing activity, you can access the BRFplus function Get Workflow Process Schema (/SRMERP/F_WF_GET_PROC_SCHEME) to define process schemas for your shopping cart approval processes. You define process schemas using rulesets.
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.
You can define more than one process schema if you want several different approval processes for shopping carts. Process schemas contain all possible process levels of an approval process.
Requirements
- Ensure that the following workflow templates are available in the system:
- Main Approval Process Template (WS 46000014)
- N-Level Approval Loop (WS 46000015)
- Approval Subworkflow (WS 46000016)
- You have performed the Customizing activities in Customizing for Materials Management under Purchasing --> Shopping Cart --> Business Workflow --> Technical Configuration.
Standard settings
The default ruleset Ruleset for SC process schema (/SRMERP/RS_WF_PROC_SCHEM_EX_SC) is available for demonstration purposes and has the lowest priority ('99'). It is triggered in a non-productive client only and only if you have not defined your own ruleset. It determines a process schema from the BRFplus decision table SC Decision Table of Process Schema (/SRMERP/E_DT_PROCESS_SCHEME_SC).
This decision table contains two approval process schemas:
- One-step approval: SAP_ERP_SC_1_STEP_APPROVAL
- Automatic rejection: SAP_ERP_SC_AUTOMATIC_REJECTION
The system selects the process schema using BRFplus expression Is Process Schema Valid? (/SRMERP/E_WF_IS_SCHEMA_VALID). When the expression returns False, the process schema for automatic rejection is selected; when it returns True, a one-step approval process is started.
The expression is based on the BRFplus function Is Process Schema Valid? (/SRMERP/F_WF_IS_SCHEMA_VALID). By default, this function does not contain a ruleset. Therefore, by default, it returns False so that all shopping carts are rejected automatically. When you assign a ruleset to the function and change the return parameter WF Boolean (/SRMERP/WF_BOOLEAN) to True, the one-step approval process is started.
Activities
To define the process schema determination, you assign your own ruleset to BRFplus function Get Workflow Process Schema (/SRMERP/F_WF_GET_PROC_SCHEME). This ruleset should check the document subset, determine the appropriate process schema for this document subset, and change the return parameter RV_PROCESS_SCHEME accordingly.
