<DIV></DIV><BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>Hi Anath,</FONT> <BR><BR><FONT
face=sans-serif size=2>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 face=sans-serif size=2>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 face=sans-serif
size=2>- 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 face=sans-serif size=2>- do you have
workitems that being generated in error are really not supposed to be in
existence?</FONT> <BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>- are these workitems really
supposed to be completed?</FONT> <BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>- is there
errors in the programming of the workflow where processes are not
competing?</FONT> <BR><BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>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 face=sans-serif size=2>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> <BR><BR><FONT

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
