How can I make workitem to be executed immediately.

[Dart, Jocelyn]

Hi Steve,
I agree with Mike that you are better off doing something in the
sales order user exit.
 
If you look under object WF_TASK method GETLISTANDDISPATCH the key
function modules to call are RH_SET_CREATE (to find the agents),
and SWU_WF_TASK_DISPATCH to display the list of agents found, let the
user select the agent, and pick up the returned agent.  You can then
check in your user exit whether they actually chose someone, and abort
the order save if they didn't.
 
Standard task TS302000141 can be used for further clues as to what
parameters
to use.
 
You will still need to find somewhere to hold the chosen agent that you
can then read in your workflow, e.g. somewhere on the sales order, or in
a custom table.
 
You could pass the agent as an event parameter but that would involve
changing
how the standard sales order event is raised - probably not a good idea.
 
Alternatively you could just send the first workitem express - but that's
still no
guarantee as the order creator can ignore it.

Hi Aravindan,
 
Thanks for your interest on my problem.
Maybe my expression is not correct.
I meant that my first step is inputting the actual agent on the "Choose
agent" box which is included by wizard.
That is, when a sales order of specific type is created, I want designate
actual agents immediately.
Is it valid?
 
Regards,
Steve

Hi Steve,
  If I understand your problem correct, you can use Role Resolution to
select
the responsible agents. Use transaction PFAC_INS and PFAC_CHG (4.6B Ver) to
create and change Role Resolutions.
 
Hope this is of help to you.
 
Cheers,
Aravindan.
