<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Hello Mark,</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">thank you very much for your input.
Yes, it seems like at least one development request will be needed
in this area.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I'll try to clarify the background for
my request :</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">The range of possible agents in our
process is quite huge, almost all users in the system should be a possible
agent and it is desired to be able to forward from the SBWP inbox. Since
we want to keep the maintenance simple we have therefore defined the tasks
as "General with forwarding allowed".</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">My client is maintaining the HR
"mini master data" for all employees due to the usage of time
reporting within PS/PP.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">However, they are not maintaining infotype
"Communication" (0105) in which it is possible to assign a userID
to the employee record.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Some "creative" users have
found out that if they press "Additional selections" in the forward
pop-up, they will be able to select Person (agent type P) and then search
for the correct receiver of the forward via the employee match code instead.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">The standard forward mechanism does
not control whether a userID is assigned or not to the selected object.
This is the same when selecting a position; it is possible to select
a position for which no userID is assigned. </font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">What happens is, of course, that the
work item gets forwarded but noone can see the work item in their inbox.
For the forwarder everything seems to be ok.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">So what we need to do is to run the
SWI2_ADM1 report in order to find all wi:s without agents and then manually
re-forward them to the userID instead.</font>
<br>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Therefore, the simplest way would be
to block the agent type P, since no userID can be derived from it anyway
when running workflows.</font>
<br>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Any other ideas on how to restrict the
agent types in the forward situation ?</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Kind regards</font>

At this stage I don't think you have much control over forwarding<br>
other than limiting forwarding to Possible Agents (General Forwarding<br>
Not Allowed).<br>
<br>
There have been numerous requests for more control, often by me. My<br>
typical requirement is to limit forwarding agents to be within the<br>
same Company Code for example.<br>
<br>
Jocelyn Dart did send out a query a while ago to see if anyone had<br>
developed a custom solution in the absence of a BAdI or equivalent.<br>
There wasn't any response from memory, but hopefully SAP is looking to<br>
deliver something... Jocelyn?<br>
<br>
All I can suggest is that everyone raises it as a development request<br>
and hopefully something gets done.<br>
<br>
Have fun,<br>
Mark<br>
