Workflow Inbox Count

[Michael Pokraka]

Hi Monique,
So that leaves two options: Evaluate SWWWIHEAD for the particular workflo=
w
and check against the objects to see which workf centre it is assigned to=
.
Alternatively, could you eveluate it from the business side? i.e. Purchas=
e
Req's for a purchasing group on a particular day?
 
Cheers
Mike
