3662326 - CDS for Purchase Requsition Approval & Purchase Order Approval

Symptom

  • The user requires a CDS/API view for Purchase Requisition (PR) Approval details, including data for PRs approved by multiple users at multiple times. 
  • PRs may undergo multiple approvals due to changes that re-trigger the approval process.
  • The user needs this data for business process improvement in the P2P area to analyze approval time and detect SOD violations.

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Cause

Approval data is managed by the Workflow framework, which is shared across multiple business processes (PR, PO, Service Entry Sheets, etc.). A dedicated CDS view for PR approvals is therefore not delivered by default.

Resolution

A similar request was already submitted in the SAP Customer Influence portal under the following link: https://influence.sap.com/sap/ino/#/idea/310810

SAP continuously prioritizes features based on customer adoption and demand through the Customer Influence portal. Since the earlier request for this functionality did not gain enough traction (votes), it was not included in the roadmap. Create a new requirement request and the development team will take the final call on implementations.

For reference, review SAP’s documentation regarding the usage of CDS view
