Deadline Monitoring / Escallation for Single Step Tasks

[Serge Boulay]

Hi,
 
I am currently working on a TS approval also. The limitation of a =
Standard
task for approval was not a concern on our side but I thought of =
something
back then to maybe make it work.
 
You could create a task that would be connected to the CATS entry =
profile
that would call a method that would start a workflow template passing =
the
WorkitemID so that the real approval step would work.
 
Hope this help.

Thanks Kjetil and Jocelyn for your feedback.  It looks to me that
standard deadline monitoring is supported in workflow templates only. =20
 
Would you consider deadline monitoring/escalation performed outside of
the standard workflow (via custom ABAP) to be very undesirable? =20
 
I don't currently see another option for CATS if my users must have
automated escalation.  I need to re-cycle the original work item since
the terminating event from CATS (object/method CATS/APPROVE) uses the WI
id as the object key. =20
 
To all who post here, keep up the good work!  I am new to the board, and
have found your posts educational.  Mark

And please complain to OSS about the restriction to TS/T in CATS.

Check the task. If there is a tab for deadlines you (probably) have
deadline functions available. If there isn't you most likely do not. We
are not using 4.7, but in 4.6C you have to create a workflow template to
use deadline functions (defined on steps).
 
If there is deadline handling available and there is no deadline tab on
the task it must be achieved through a program which manipulates the
active work items.

Hello All,
 
We are on a 4.7 system implementing workflow for Time Sheet Approvals.
The current requirements call for deadline monitoring and escalation of
work items.
 
The (CATS) data entry profile customizing for Time Sheets restricts the
workflow task type to a standard task (TS) or task (T).
 
Is there any built in functionality that will handle deadline
monitoring/escalation for single step tasks?
 
Ideally, I would like to expand the original selected agents list to
include deadline agents when the deadline is reached.
