Work item lock by web user in WS20000081 Leave Request

[Tommy Fredriksson (QAC)]

Hi all,
 
We use the web based Leave request workflow WS20000081 for creating and approval of leave requests.
When an employee have created a leave request and then when the manager is approving it an error occur:
If the manager don't want to approve until later and try to exit the screen by pusching the "End Execution"-button or the "Back "-button in MS Explorer the work item is locked by this user and can only be unlocked by using transaction SM12 in R/3.
The error message the manager gets when trying to execute this workitem is:
Work item currently locked by user 'ZEOIMG1' (ZEOIMG1)
The same error occurs in simular situation for the cancel Leave Request workflow WS01000109.
The problim still exist if the user log off.
Any suggestions?
 
Best regards
