Renaming SAP Userids - workflow consequences

[Adam Waring]

Thank you Shaelene and Alon,
 
Shaelene,
 
Unfortunately the 4.0B system does not have the functionality for
substitutions.  To which all I can say is "Do'h!".
 
Alon,
 
It'd be great if you could do some mighty fine code-slapping-together for
me.  I intend to rename approximately 600 users, of which the majority
would use workflow for purchase requisitions.
 
Thanks,
Adam.

Hi Adam
 
You could use the standard substitution functionality in SAP Office to
have the workitems assigned to the old user ID, display in the inbox of
the new user ID.  In version 4.6, this is available using the following
menu path in the Business Workplace (Office) -
 
Settings/Workflow Settings/Maintain substitute/
 
You would just need to retain the old user ID's for a period, until the
old workitems have been executed.
 
 I don't know of any tool that allows you to modify an existing
workitem.  Hope this helps.

     Perveyors of Workflow knowledge,
 
     Long time reader, first time question asker.
 
     We're using the 4.0B SAP system and use workflow for our MM
module purchase
     requisitions.  We are currently re-naming all our SAP userids
and therefore
     must change the ZM002 requisitioner table to replace the old
userid with
     the new userid.  That works fine and new requisitions are
workflowed to the
     correct person.  Unfortunately, when we rename a userid they
lose
     everything in their workflow inbox.  Is there a job that can be
run to
     reorganise the workflows to accept the new userid over the old
one?
 
     Thank you kindly,
