Hi Dan,
There is a multiple execution option where you can basically execute th=
e
first work item and then all the other selected items have the same
decisions applied to them automatically. The overall effect is to execu=
te
all work items with a single click.
You need to write your methods to cope with this - they have to pass th=
e
current decision out and accept the previous decision in .
Have a look in the SAP Library help for more info.

Dan,
You are right -- you cannot pick any number of work items and have them=
processed on a single click. But I believe it is the mysterious "automa=
tion
feature" that your users are really interested in.
Most probably the design of the existing MM workflow is not appropriate=
for
what your users want. It appears that what has been defined as a separa=
te
process for each individual item needs to be still aggregated into larg=
er
collections of objects before being processed. Please consider logical =
ways
of collecting your items, only then move on to the design of the change=
s.
What really needs to happen within the flow? What is the application?
Perhaps we can help?
Kind regards,
Tomasz

Hi Folks,
We are 4.6c and in the process of enhancing an existing MM workflow so =
that
the user can automatically create an MM view with existing data in the
workflow. This is actually the easy part.
The clients believe they need the ability to select a group of work ite=
ms
from the inbox and use the same automation feature to populate the data=
.
In
other words, they want to execute multiple work items with the click of=
a
button.
I'm pretty sure this cannot be done. However, I'd be interested to hea=
r
from the gurus.
Thanks,
Dan
