Try this..SWO1 on the object FLOWITEM... "test" and instantiate with
the work item number, then run the method "change status" to change
the item to "Cancelled" (logically deleted). We use this quite often.<br>
<br>
Also you might want to use the correction of the IDOC as an alternate to
cancelling the workflow in the design and avoid this problem in the future.
Just a thought.<br>

Thank you for the response. I tried that. As I stated, the IDoc already
processed with status 53. 'Logically Delete' is not an option. 'Set to 'Done''
is grayed out.<br>
<br>
Found transaction SWWL which looks like will do the trick, but not authorized. <br>
<br>
Posted this message, just want to see if there is any other way.<br>

01/21/2008 01:29 How to delete Orphaned Workflow <br>
PM after IDOC processed outside <br>
Workflow? <br>

Please respond to <br>

<br>
<br>
Hi All,<br>
I have a situation, inbound IDoc processed with error, workflow is<br>
generated. Instead of going through workflow to processed the IDoc, someone<br>
corrected and processed the IDoc through a customer program.<br>
<br>
Now, we have a few Work item remain in the user's Inbox. Tried SWI1<br>
'Logically Delete' is not an option. 'Set to 'Done'' is grayed out. Is it<br>
Authorization issue? Is there any other way to detete these Work Items?<br>
What is the Authorization do I need to do it?<br>
<br>
Many thanks in advance<br>
<br>
Jimmy<br>
