disable forward option in SAP Office

[Dart, Jocelyn]

Hi Fabrice/Dave,
Have double-checked everything and you're right.
Only way to stop the forward function is by the attributes on the task.
 
PLEASE raise this issue as a development request through ASUG.
 
In the meantime, if you want to stop forwarding on all tasks including
general tasks, the only way I can see to do it is to modify function module
SWW_WI_FEASIBLE_METHODS_GET to disallow forwarding, i.e. remove entry
"SWW_WI_FORWARD" from the feasible_methods table before it is returned
to calling programs.
 
This function module is called when a workitem is displayed to see
what actions are possible on the workitem.  So that should work.
 
However it's still a mod... you'll need to decide if you are willing
to support that.
 
If you don't want to do the mod, then I'd suggest NOT using
general task.  I don't like general task being used for steps that
should never be forwarded anyway, if knowing the agent is that crucial
the task should be assigned only to the specific people involved.
Depending on your release you may be able to assign tasks to profile
generator roles (i.e. activity groups), which I usually find is the
easiest way to assign large numbers of users to a task.

Hi Fabrice/Jocelyn,
 
We seem to be having the same problem with the forwarding option. It seems
that you can only change the task agent assignment if it is not a 'general
task', and we have tried removing activity 25 from the authorisation object
S_WF_WI, but we can still use the forwarding function after setting this
up.
 
Is there any other settings we need to be aware of in profile maintenance
to switch this off?
 
Thanks
for any assistance
