<DIV>Brenda,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Deleting workitems or not is a business decision.</DIV>
<DIV>If you wish to logically delete these workitems you can user SAP_WAPI_SET_WORKITEM_STATUS with status CANCELLED. Afterwards you can archive these workitems.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Good luck,</DIV>

The majority of these are<BR>highly customised purchase requisition release and purchase order release<BR>workflows. For some reason, these workflows were not designed with wait for<BR>event steps to trap the event when the requisition or order is released or<BR>significantly changed, so the users have performed the necessary steps<BR>outside workflow and the workflows have not been terminated correctly. We<BR>now need to
remove these work items from the inboxes of these users, but<BR>obviously a manual trawl through all the workflows is not a preferred<BR>option. Is there a function module or BAPI which I can use to logically<BR>delete a workflow instance in the background from a batch program?<BR><BR><BR><BR>Many thanks in advance,<BR><BR>Brenda Raubenheimer.<BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR>-------------- next part --------------<BR>An HTML attachment was scrubbed...<BR>URL: <A href="http://mailman.mit.edu/pipermail/sap-wug/attachments/20090327/7faa676c/attachment-0001.htm" target=_blank>http://mailman.mit.edu/pipermail/sap-wug/attachments/20090327/7faa676c/attachment-0001.htm</A><BR><BR>------------------------------<BR></DIV></DIV></div><br>
