Execute workitem from Lotus Notes (no SAP user)

[Flavio Oliveira]

The problem is that I have some users that will use SAP very sporadically
and, some times, they are not locally at our site. Is not interesting for us
to have specific SAP user id's for this kind of sporadicaly users.
 
That is why we are trying to use lotus notes id's.
 
The problems with log information we can try to solve by putting the notes
id as the user who has realy approved the document. I know that this is
possible only by changing standard SAP and we will have to decide what is
better: either create SAP users for all involved people or try to use the
lotus notes solution (with all the inconvenient that we know that exist).
 
I would appreciate any suggestion.
Thank you very much.
Flavio.
