problem. We have recently noticed that all purchasing documents =
release by BAPI_PO_RELEASE have WFBATCH as the responsible user on its =
document change history. I assume that this is due to the =
workflow manager executing the object method RELEASE in the =

later time.</FONT></P>

a way to update the change history to show the user id of the person =
for which BAPI_PO_RELEASE was executed, instead of the id of the =
workflow manager (WFBATCH)? I don't even know if we can alter =
SAP's change history log since it serves as an audit trail, but I =
thought I'd ask.</FONT></P>
