<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Hi Anath,</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I am not on ECC 5.0, we are running
4.7. But I believe that the set to complete option will only work for workitems
of a dialogue nature where the 'confirm end of processing' has been
set and some processing on that workitem has been has happened.
You will not be able to just simply complete workitems when they
are processing midstream or have yet to be executed. </font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I think the best way to solve your problem
is to investigate why each workitem is in 'In Process'. For example:-</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">- are users receiving workitems that
require then to physically complete the workitem and they are not trained
or are simply forgetting to do this extra step after processing?</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">- do you have workitems that being generated
in error are really not supposed to be in existence?</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">- are these workitems really supposed
to be completed?</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">- is there errors in the programming
of the workflow where processes are not competing?</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">It is good to hear you are trying to
keep your workflow environment clean and clear of superfluous workitems.
The workflow manager will work much faster with fewer outstanding
items. One tip is to make sure you are not generating workitems for
users that maybe require one way email notifications instead of workitem
notification steps.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Lastly, if you really need to get rid
of the workitems that are lying around in production and have clearly established
they have to go. You probably can delete them logically in the workitem
change screen (where I am sure you know will keep a copy for your records).
I am sure before you do logically delete workitems you will
notify the users that are going to be affected, since I am not aware that
you can reverse this process.</font>

Setting workitem status to 'Completed'</font></table>
<br>
<br>
<br><font size=2><tt>Hi All,<br>
<br>
I am working on mySAP ECC 5.0 version.<br>
<br>
I am faced with a situation where there are lots of workitems which<br>
are in 'In Process' status. I want the workitem status to be set to<br>
'Complete' status by using SWIA transaction.<br>
<br>
I executed the SWIA transaction, selected the workitem and clicked on<br>
'Complete Manually' button. But there has been no change in the status<br>
at all, but in the history of that workitem, I see that the ' Workitem<br>
replaced manually' being displayed, but no effect at all.<br>
<br>
Can someone let me know how should I go about to change to status to 'Complete'.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance,<br>
Ananth<br>
