Hi Workflowers,
 
I posted a similar question a week ago but it did not appear on the
distribution list.  Thought I'd give it another try.
 
We currently have a workflow that will automatically approve a Purchase
Order or Outline Agreement if it determines that the creator of the
 
purchase document has enough systems of authority.  This functionality is
made possible by calling function module BAPI_PO_RELEASE found
 
in method RELEASE of object type BUS2012.  It was hoped that this ability
would create a more efficient work process.  The user would only need to go
to his or
 
her workflow inbox if he/she does not have enough systems of authority.
 
 
 
Here is the problem.  We have recently noticed that all purchasing documents
release by BAPI_PO_RELEASE have WFBATCH as the responsible user on its
document change history.  I assume that this is due to the workflow manager
executing the object method RELEASE in the background.  This has created
some confusion for our business users when they are trying to determine who
approved the document at a later time.
 
Does anybody know of a way to update the change history to show the user id
of the person for which BAPI_PO_RELEASE was executed, instead of the id of
the workflow manager (WFBATCH)?  I don't even know if we can alter SAP's
change history log since it serves as an audit trail, but I thought I'd ask.
 
Thanks.
