<DIV><SPAN class=755135412-11092007><FONT color=#0000ff size=2>I recognize this
as user status management for either quality notifications or one of the other
modules using notifications (which borrow a lot from plant maintenance
-PM). </FONT></SPAN><SPAN class=755135412-11092007><FONT color=#0000ff
size=2>This are is not necessarily anything to do with SAP Business Workflow,
unless you plan to control your notifications with status change
events. The challenge here is not so much the workflow side, which can be
reduced to delivery of the messages or additional background actions based
on status events, but on the relevant application module knowledge and your
specific scenario.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

archived, as if it was completed ? Also, surely you would want to log and
restrict access to approve/reject, while mark for deletion should only be
accessible to administrators.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

don’t know what release or application you are using – we don’t have
transaction PMM8 on our 4.6c system, so I am not sure what it does. What
I do know is that ‘mark workitem for deletion’ will likely cause a lot of
WFers out there to run for the hills. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
