color=#0000ff size=2>Really - if you are 4.6C or above it's better (clarity for
developers and business analysts) and considerably quicker (initial development
and on-going maintenance, switch on/switch off, etc.) to use a start condition
(transaction SWB_COND) which utilises a standard check function module than
build your own custom check function module. Custom check function module
these days I treat as a last resort, card up my sleeve if all else fails type of
approach. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

Kjetil,<BR><BR>Do you want me to call this function module before the
triggering event is published? <BR><BR>If yes, then, I am afraid whether
I can do that since the event is published by the standard program. Also for a
moment even if I have control over publishing the event, how can I restart the
same workitem?<BR><BR>If no, then, will you please a bit more
elaborate?<BR><BR>I would definitely like to trigger as few workflows as
possible since that would reduce my work :))<BR><BR>Thanks &
Regards,<BR>Amit<BR><BR><BR>-------------------<BR>It's a bit late I guess,
but I would recommend using a check function instead. Then you prevent
starting the second instance by looking for existing workflows related to your
purchase order (function SAP_WAPI_WORKITEMS_TO_OBJECT). <BR><BR>The fewer
workflows started, the better - unless your salary depends on the number of
started workflows.<BR>-- <BR>Kjetil Kilhavn, Statoil KTJ IT

Betreff: Cancelling the previous workitem<BR> <BR>
<BR><BR> Hi Workflow Gurus,<BR> <BR> I
am new to workflow and need some help.<BR> <BR> I
have a workflow for which I am using 'CHANGED' event of the business object
BUS2012 (Purchase Order) as the triggering event. When a user changes a
particular PO, this workflow starts. But before it is completed if there is
another change to the same PO, then, one more workitem is started.<BR>
<BR> My requirement is that if there is change to the PO,
then, it should delete the previous workitem and start a new workitem. Can you
please advise me as to how this can be achieved?<BR> <BR>
Thanks in advance.<BR> <BR>
Regards,<BR> Amit<BR><BR> <o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
