Advance w/dialog with not work with an intervening background task. Is the
background task something you could put in a secondary method (after) of the
first "General Task"?<BR><BR>

<P class=EC_MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: black">I have a background task

<P class=EC_MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: black">is the 'advance with dialog

<P class=EC_MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: black">in General Taks.. Invoice
Coder(User) will enter invoice Item in FV60(I have method calling Call
Transaction FV60, with terminating event ‘Completed’) and saves it as ‘Save as
completed’. In the background task I am reading the approver from that invoice
item details and sending approver a approval work item..</SPAN></P>
