Logically Deleting The work item.

[Kesari Katakam]

Hi All,

I have a custom work flow, which simulates the standard PR release
process, but with Lotus Notes form based approval.

Here User can approvea PR from SAP standard release process pr from
Lotus Notes mail box.

Requirement is, if the user releases the PR in SAP standard release,
then we should not let the user release the same thing from Lotus
Notes mail.

I am thinking of a solution where we logically delete  the work
item(using a FM in the user exit of SAP's PR release program) , so
that user can not execute the work item from Lotus Notes Mail Box..!
And then re start the work flow for the Next level of approval. Is
this Okay or any effective solution is there.!?

A flaw i found in the above solution is..... user who got a mail in
his lotus notes mail box will be worried to see the work item to fail
, because by then we would have deleted the work item in SAP !

Please advice.!

Thanks and regards
Kesari
