Work item lock by web user in WS20000081 Leave Request

[Marty Braithwaite]

Tommy, we had that happen to us in workplace where we run personal =
expenses and workflow.  It may not be the answer you're looking for but, =
our fix was to get our internet department take away the browser =
navigational control from the users browser when they chose the link to =
open up workplace.  I don't pretend to know how they did it, just that =
it seems to work, the only way the users can navigate in workplace now =
is by using the standard abap functionality built into the screens.

Subject: Work item lock by web user in WS20000081 Leave Request
 
 
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
