How do I implement an SAP MDG dynamic agent BAdI for supplier workflow routing with activation and GTS handling?
Implement IF_USMD_SSW_DYNAMIC_AGT_SELECT~GET_DYNAMIC_AGENTS to read the CR context, call your approver logic, populate user or non-user agent groups, and switch to a technical GTS step when the request reaches activation.
SOLUTION SUMMARY · SHORT ANSWER
Implement IF_USMD_SSW_DYNAMIC_AGT_SELECT~GET_DYNAMIC_AGENTS to read the CR context, call your approver logic, populate user or non-user agent groups, and switch to a technical GTS step when the request reaches activation.
Dynamic-agent BAdI implementations in SAP MDG determine approvers at runtime instead of relying only on static workflow tables. In the supplier example, the class reads the CR number, calls a custom approver resolver, fills CT_USER_AGENT_GROUP for normal approval, and switches to a technical non-user step for activation/GTS processing when CV_NEW_STEP reaches 91.
Process flow
- Create the dynamic-agent class and implement IF_USMD_SSW_DYNAMIC_AGT_SELECT.
- Check IV_SERVICE_NAME and run only the intended workflow branch.
- Read approvers from your custom logic.
- Fill CT_USER_AGENT_GROUP for dialog approvers.
- Set STEP_TYPE according to the next business action.
- If activation or GTS is required, clear the dialog agents and fill CT_NON_USER_AGENT_GROUP.
- Read the CR type from the application context or USMD120C if needed.
- Set CV_NEW_STEP and CV_NEW_CR_STATUS consistently before returning.

| Object | Purpose |
|---|---|
USMD120C | Fallback source for the change request type when the application context is not bound. |
TVARVC | Stores the allowed CR types used to decide whether the GTS technical step should run. |
DEMO_EXPRESSIONS | Example table updated in the sample to persist a flag for the activation branch. |
