MAKE APPROVAL

This user exit can be used to apply own checks to the approval process. In opposite to the exit BEFORE_APP_REV, implementations of this exit are executed once per request. Thus you do not have access to the information, what other requests are subject of the current approval…. If the TM user is going approve multiple requests, none of them will be approved if at least one fails the checks.
