Deleting workflow mail from sap inbox

[Sander van der Wijngaart]

Dear Deepak,
 
SAP mails cannot be deleted by SAP Business Workflow. Tasks however you can
be 'deleted' or put to the status completed. For example place a task in the
agents inbox with the information you want to share (e.g. using the object
STD_TEXT, method ReplaceAndDisplay). Place a deadline on this task for a
week, which result in a modelled step in the workflow definition. After this
step end the 'information' task by using the workflow step 'Process control'
with the function 'set workitem obsolete' (of course you have to enable this
outcome with your 'information task'.
 
Good luck!

Hi workflow gurus,
I am modelling a workflow having a single satndard task
ordrsp_error.This task sends mail to recipients .I want these mails to
be deleted from the recipeints inbox after a lapse of say 1 week.
I have tried to model this through requested end deadline using deadline
modelling wizard.It seems I am missing something because mails don't get
deleted automatically.
Your help will be highly appreciated.
kind regards
deepak
