Workflow Inbox Count

[Stephens, Monique S L]

Thanks for the response.
=20
Actually, the users that are most interested in this count are those in =
a work center (our Purchasing department).  Therefore, some of the =
issues you mentioned below would not apply.  These users will want to =
know how many documents arrived in the work center on a particular day =
even if they also happened to be released on that day.

Hi Monique,=20
The short answer: No.=20
The slightly longer version: This isn't as simple as it sounds since =
agent=20
assignments are fluid, nothing really goes "to someone's inbox". =
Instead,=20
someone's inbox provides a view of workitems which one could possibly=20
execute.=20
I'm afraid you're stuck with writing your own, but there are still a =
number=20
of issues.=20
What about forwarded items? Do they count for both people? A user gets a =
 
workitem, but someone else executes it - does that count? Yes, it did=20
'arrive in her inbox', but... Oh, and what about substitution? Someone =
could=20
substitute for someone in a different work centre and then it really =
gets=20
messy. Agents are evaluated at runtime, and the work centre can =
subsequently=20
change too...=20
I think you can see why there is no 'standard report' in SAP for this.=20
An idea might be a custom report on the underlying data instead.=20
