Hi Kathleen,

If you want an end-user to see the status of a workflow related to a
particular business object then 'Services for object' is a good tool. In
4.6C you can find the button at the top-left of the screen and in the
menu under 'System' (f.i. in tx ME23N or MM03). This only works if the
particular business object has been defined as an
(input?) element of the workflow container. This way of reporting is
especially meant for reporting to end-users.

Hope this helps you.

Regards,

Fred Kouw
