Status change of Work ITem in Entry Sheet release

[Swami Bala]

Thanks Tomasz. After my question was posted the business process has been
changed. The end users wants to utilize the collective release program by
SAP. But since SAP does not have a standard workflow for the Entry sheet, I
did a custom development on that. My concerns are how to handle these
scenarios:
1.When the entry sheet is created it triggers the workflow and goes to
  the approvers (App1) inbox which is ok and working fine
2.The users - because of the volume of the entry sheet in a day - are
  permitted to use the collective release program for the release which
  will make it ready for the next level of approvers ( App2 ). At this
  instance there is no use of the workitems lying in App1 inbox. What
  needs to be taken care of at this point ?.
 
Though I can set up triggering events through change document on every level
of release I still donot have a clue how to handle the moving of workitems
from App1 to next levels since I donot know who is going to be the next
level of approver unless the wortkitem is executed.
 
Let me know if you have any suggestions on this...
