style='font-size:11.0pt'>I would wonder what release you are on, and also what
your first step is dependent on. If the event is raised correctly, and
the workflow does start but then sometimes hangs up, perhaps it is that the
task couldn’t complete due to a timing issue? I’d check the task to
ensure that if the data it is looking for isn’t there yet, then an appropriate
outcome is performed (perhaps you go back to the task, depending on
outcome). Or loop until all the sales order data is found.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=2 face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:11.0pt'>The fact that you can successfully start and complete
the workflow manually, and that this issue occurs sporadically seem to support
that the sales order is not fully updated at the time the workflow task tries
to process.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<br>
I am facing a weird issue that I need to fix soon. When BUS2032 CREATED is
raised after a sales order is created, event trace does not show any workitem
created. When I check using SWI1, I see that workitem does get created but
status shows "In-Process". And it gets stuck there..<br>
<br>
I have attached screen-shots to show this.<br>
<br>
When I manually trigger BUS2032 CREATED event using SWUE, everything works just
fine. <br>
<br>
this doesnt happen everytime, but about 5% of the times.<br>
<br>
Any suggestions?<br>
<br>
Thanks <br>
Sudhir<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
