<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">We are on 4.6C and are looking at using
the Standard SAP workflow for Purchase Order Release Strategy. Everything
looks like it is set up correctly, however, every time someone posts a
Purchase Order, the workflow becomes deactive. I go into configuration
transaction OOCU and activate the Workflow for release of purchase order,
but once a new PO is posted, it becomes deactive again. I tried to
troubleshoot the workflow, but it doesn't appear to kick off any tasks.
Has anyone encountered this issue before? Any advice?</font>

Hi Monique,<br>
=20<br>
Thanks for the info. I'm now able to disable the Back button.<br>
=20<br>
I have still not found why I don't get the "Back To Approval"
link<br>
doesn't show up in UWL. I'm still working on it.<br>
=20<br>
Thanks.<br>

Comments from our technical person in regards to the back button<br>
removal:<br>
=20<br>
In our portal, we use the Default Framework Page. One of the objects<br>
provided there is the Page Title Bar. The Page Title Bar contains<br>
History, Back, Forward, and options links for portal navigation. In
the<br>
case of the Back button, it goes back to the last top level navigation<br>
that was selected by the user. For instance, assume the user selected<br>
Content Administration from the top level navigation and then clicked on<br>
Go Shopping. Then, assume they went into several screens under the<br>
Shopping. If they then clicked the Back button on the Page Title
Bar,<br>
they would be sent back to Content Administration, not the previous<br>
Shopping screen. In our case, we made the entire Page Title Bar<br>
invisible to remove this Back button.<br>

Hi Monique,<br>
=20<br>
Thanks for your quick response. I'm still struggling why "Back to<br>
approval" link doesn't show up when I go through UWL.=20<br>
You mentioned that you have disabled/removed Back button from the page<br>
or portal itself. How did you do that? I didn't see any property for<br>
"Back" in UWL iView.<br>
=20<br>
Thanks.<br>

<br>
I can speak from experience that any back button other than "back
to<br>
approval" locks the users. We are struggling with this problem right<br>
now. We just warn the users to not click any other back button. We<br>
have even gone so far as to physically remove the back button from the<br>
portal itself. Now, the users only have "back to approval"
and the<br>
internet back button (which they tend to click on as well).<br>
<br>
I don't believe we did anything special to make "back to approval"<br>
appear.<br>

Hi Bijay,<br>
1) Can you see the "Back to Inbox" link.<br>
2) Regarding Locking of users : Ideally Portal Creates new session<br>
every<br>
time you visit the approval page, hence even if you use back button from<br>
portal , it should ideall not get locked.<br>
which version of EBP and Portal you are using.<br>
