Symptom
For a specific purchase order, system does not display any values under approvals ROOT node in the SDK.
Environment
SAP Business ByDesign
Reproducing the Issue
- Login to SDK
- Navigate to Repository Explorer
- Access Purchase Order Business Object (BO)
- Navigate to Approval Node
- Observe that no values are found
Cause
The data which displays under the approval node of the Purchase Order document is runtime data. This data is determined instantly based on the approval criteria and conditions defined. Therefore, it is not possible to read the Approvals data from SDK. Moreover, the approval details are read through business tasks, from where the approver for the document can be determined.
Resolution
- Utilize Library Functions.
- Refer to Approval Process Library Functions.
- Apply Transformation Rule in MDRS - BTM_APPR_PROC_LIB.
- Use Library Name – ApprovalProcess.
