Customizing PO Requisition Approval workflow

[dbarookie]

I have a business requirement to customize the PO Requisition Approval WF based on Position Approval Hierarchy. And there are some position within the Hierarchy that must be skipped depending on what the item type is e.g. if the category is computer supplies (IT item type) the requisition will be routed ONLY to those higher IT positions in the hierarchy for approval and if the other item type is safety supplies the requisition will be routed ONLY to those in Health & Safety in the hierarchy (while skipping those in IT) and so on... before creating PO's.
I am very new to WF/PO, can anyone pls. give me some ideas in terms of where I can incorporate this requirement in the wf.

Regards,
Olu

Hi,

I think there is no need of customisation of WF for such situation.

Beacuse customisation will become bottle neck for future changes in hierarchy.

This need is satisfied by functional setup itself and slight modification business process.

You consult you fuctional consultant this is possible, I had map similar requirement long back without any technical customisation.

Hi,

In the approval groups you can very well include/exclude the account /item categories ranges.

There is no need for this cuistomization as this is standard functionality.
