Executing A Workitem Automatically

[Svanikier, Helena]

Hello Nicholas
 
For these things you are better off using a user-exit or BADI within the
transaction. There is no way, that you can get the first activity of a
workflow to show up immeadiatly after the workflow was triggered, without
having to go into your inbox.
 
Best regards

Memo from Nicholas N Brand of PricewaterhouseCoopers

Hello,
 
I've a requirement to execute a workitem automatically without the user
executing it from their inbox.
 
Here's why:
A trip is created by a user and the business wants the user to confirm that
the expenses are all business related for legal reasons.
One way of doing this is to present the user with a decision workitem with
just one option - that they certify the trip is business related.
I'd like this workitem to be executed as soon as the workflow is triggerd
so that the user saves their trip and is then shown the decision screen
(without having to go to their inbox and execute the workitem from there).
 
I've investigated the WORKINGWI object but couldn't get it to do what I
needed.
 
Any tips or hints out there would be great!
 
 
Kind regards
Nicholas
