Deadline help

[Rickayzen, Alan]

Walt,
My concentration is still not up to scratch in this grim, grim week but the
MIT listserv is a good way of getting back to what reality used to be.
 
What you require is easily modelled if you specify an event as the outcome
of your deadline (latest end). This will cause a new path to appear in
parallel to the normal flow . Here you can add a string of mail steps, each
with it's own deadlines (requested start) which take care of the
notifications.
 
To cancel the notification chain (you don't want to send notifications long
after the main task has completed) you will have to include control steps in
the main path to cancel the notification steps.
 
Kind Regards,

Hi,
 
I'm curiously if anyone has attempt any complex
Deadline monitoring in SAP Workflow.  I'm trying to
accomplish
the following and I'm interested in any information
that could help me out.
 
The scenario is that a HR administrator has received a
workitem  request from the an employee and the HR
administrator
is waiting on documentation from the employee to
support the  request.  If the documentation is note
received
after 5 days an email to sent to the employee reminding
them of the need for documentation.  If after 20 days
the documentation is still not received and  a second
reminder is sent.  If after another 10 days no
documentation is received
the workflow is cancel.
 
It would seem that if  I was only trying to do two
deadlines I could use SAP Requested End and Latest End
to handle but
having 3 seem to make SAP deadline monitoring useless
in this case.
 
Any ideas or information would be very helpful.
 
Thanks,
Walt McDaniel
