Symptom
- What is the reason that caused the restart.
- How to stop the workflow restart
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Cause
For example:
1.The total value of the Purchase Order Changed
2.header text or item text are changed
3.Tax code is changed
Resolution
- Open the Purchase Order, go to change log and add or resize the “Changed On” column to verify all changes that are either manual or automatic.
- Acknowledge that a change to the total value is considered critical and, by default, restarts the flexible workflow.
- If re-approval should be avoided for any fields change, configure the restart behavior using SSCUI 103345 or with BAdI MMPUR_PO_WORKFLOW_RESTART to disable workflow restart for the relevant field/change.
- Review custom logic in the Custom Logic app to ensure no explicit workflow restart is implemented for this scenario.
- After adjusting configuration/logic as required, process the Purchase Order and run the workflow as per governance.
Note: details are applicable for any document not just PO.
