<div>Hi Richard,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>WF-BATCH runs the background step that removes the billing block (all background steps are run by WF-BATCH) - unfortunately, you cannot set a dialog user to run Workflow background methods/tasks. </div>
<div>However, you can record the user that "Approves" the credit memo through the "Decision" step by doing the following:</div>
<div>- On the binding from the decision task to the workflow, you should have an element called _Workitem.</div>
<div>- Pass this to a container of business object type "WORKINGWI".</div>
<div>- Under B.O WORKINGWI you have the attributes: ExecutedByUser which contains UserID (of the person that executed the last work item).</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Or... You can always make a copy of the method that removes the billing block. Make it a dialog step for a dialog user to execute in a task, thus forcing it to be a foreground task requiring a user to execute and being able to record their user ID. The main problem - this now becomes a two-step process... Not very elegant.
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Hope that helps.</div>

<p><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">We have a workflow for credit memo approval which is similar to the standard one. When the user approves the credit memo, using a decision step, a background step runs which removes the billing block. As expected, on looking at the change docs, it says that the block was removed by wf-batch. We can look in the wf logs to determine who really carried out the approval, but I'd like to know whether there's a way of forcing the block to be removed by the users user id.. if you see what I mean. I'm sure this is a common query but I couldn't find anything in the archives. I'm interested in knowing how you people have got round this.
