<p><span lang=EN-ZA>My new client has a large number of workflow instances
active on the system and many users have inboxes full of work items. The
majority of these are highly customised purchase requisition release and
purchase order release workflows. For some reason, these workflows were
not designed with wait for event steps to trap the event when the requisition
or order is released or significantly changed, so the users have performed the
necessary steps outside workflow and the workflows have not been terminated
correctly. We now need to remove these work items from the inboxes of
these users, but obviously a manual trawl through all the workflows is not a
preferred option. Is there a function module or BAPI which I can use to
logically delete a workflow instance in the background from a batch program?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
