would go the way SAP takes usually for all object types that are status=20
management-enabled: include the interface object type IFSTATUS in your =
object=20
definition. It provides you with a method "UserStatusSet" that you can =
use in=20
background tasks. If it's not possible to inherit this method from =
IFSTATUS, you=20
could at least look into that object type in order to see which function =
module=20
(if I remember correctly, it's "STATUS_SET_INTERNAL" or something like =
that) is=20
called by it.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<P><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>Hi,</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>I have created a workflow which is =
supposed to=20
approve and release a project. (PS module)</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>The workflow initiator gets to choose =
among=20
different approval chains. Each approval chain has up to five =
levels of=20
approval. Each approval level is set by updating the project's =
user=20
status field.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>I have created a sub-object type =
ZBUS2001 and a new=20
method ApprovalProcess. This method calls a function module =
which is=20
simply a BDC program using call transaction (transaction CJ20N) to =
update the=20
user status field. The function module has been tested=20
successfully. It also works fine when I test the method and the=20
sub-object type. However, when I test the task (User =
Status Update=20
Task) individually using SWUS, which uses the new method, the task =
fails=20
(WF-BATCH executes SWW_BI_EXECUTE_S).</FONT></P>
