<pre wrap="">Hi Kjetil
No not harsh just grimly realistic.
Biggest problem with task profiles to me is you can only assign 1 task classification per substitute. So if you want to assign eg travel tasks & budget tasks to the same substitute that's not permitted.
I have seen some sites create wrappers for task launch to recheck the executing users authority before launching the application itself.
Others have created their own substitution checks. Eg in BADIs that only permit users to assign a substitute of equal or greater authority or limit substitutes to managers in the same reporting line
I'm still hoping for better answers

Don't be so harsh on SAP Jocelyn - they try their best ;-)
The main problem is that task classification is not obligatory, and that it is
not mandatory to select a substitution profile (in GUI the lack of a profile
is accompanied by the description “General substitution”, I guess this is
equivalent to the “All tasks” selection in the UWL although it appears as if
you select a profile in the UWL).
You *can* solve your problem by doing the following:
1) Implement a measure (I don't know if there are any explicit enhancement
possibilities) to ensure that “All tasks”/“General substitution” is not an
accepted choice of substitution profile.
2) Assign classification to all tasks in use, and create the substitution
profiles for all required combinations of task classes.
Even if you don't have to assign task classification to a task for which
substitution should not be possible I would recommend creating a class that
makes it obvious that it is excluded from substitution.
The “General substitution” profile is the only profile that allows a
substitute to see tasks without classification, so both steps are required.
I have not implemented such solutions (customer did not want to), but it would
be a permanent and proper solution to the problem which could be applied to
any number of tasks without requiring further development. It would also (and
I would argue this is equally important) force users to actively make a choice
of substitution profile. They often don't, even if the substitute should only
handle e.g. approval of purchases and invoices.

<pre wrap="">Hi Loren
Unfortunately I suspect what you are missing is the reality check on task
classification capabilities or lack thereof - perhaps try work item exit or
a wrapper function or the Substitution BADIs instead Rgds

Hello Wuggers!
We have a situation here where the business realized that Annual Performance
Reviews can be opened and read by UWL Substitutes. They want us to exclude
tasks related to the Annual Appraisal process from a UWL Substitute’s view
when they are working on items on behalf of someone else.
I found this very good article on SCN that explains the process for creating
task classifications and assigning those classifications to substitution
profiles:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/display/HOME/Link+Substitution,+Classification+">http://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/display/HOME/Link+Substitution,+Classification+</a>
and+Profiles
However, I am struggling to make this work.
Our situation is that we basically have two Substitution profiles. One is
named “ALL” (for all tasks) and the other is named “TRAVEL_APPRO” (for only
approving travel related tasks). What I tried to do was define a new
Classification for performance reviews named “PDR” (Personal Development
Review). We use the standard appraisal workflow, WS12300110, which has
standard task TS12300115 for the employee to read and respond to their
performance review. I assigned task TS12300115 to the new “PDR”
classification. But then I did not assign “PDR” as a classification for
the “ALL” substitution profile. PDR is not assigned to any profile.
My thinking was that if the new classification is not included in any
profile, then the tasks assigned to that classification would not show up
in the substitutes’ queue, regardless of which profile they were using.
Am I missing something here?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
