Fw: Deleting work items in production

Hi, Viveka,
I checked the authorization. Yes there is an object - S_WF_WI workflow: work item handling option to choose for each different menu option. Now, I have the option to 'delete logically' and 'complete manually', which is much better solution than delete the work item through reports.
Thanks for your help,
Cindy

Hello again,
check your authorizations when you are located on the technical work item display screen ( /OSU53).
Which release are you on ?

Hello Cindy,
I've never heard of this problem in the technical work item display screen for wi:s with status Ready or In Process.
Could you please publish a screen shot of how the technical work item display screen looks like. Perhaps it's an authorization problem.
Regards
Viveka

Re: Fw: Deleting work items in production
Hi, Viveka,
You are right! This is a more reasonable solution for my problem. I thought that before, however, a bunch of choices under 'Edit' for the detail work item such as 'delete logically', 'complete manually' are greyed out from the menu. Also the 'set to done' option on the inbox. Is there something I need to setup to make the option available?
Thank you very much,
Cindy

In case you want to track the logically deleted wi:s in the future for some reason, you can find them via SWI1 and by entering the task IDs and status Logically Deleted (Cancelled).
As the status says; the wi:s are not physically deleted - they still remain in the wi:s tables but with status Log.Deleted.

Re: Deleting work items in production Link
Hello Cindy,
since you mention that the tasks concerned are the TS30001128 & TS30001117 (Enter document for document type & Assign document for document type) I would suggest you just set the status to Delete Logically via the work item detail screen (=> Edit => Change and then press the button Delete Logically) to get rid of those wi:s from the users inboxes - Unless you don't really want to reenter or reassign the images which I understand you don't want. Archiving makes no sence in this specific scenario since it only has to do with assigning/entering images stored in the document archive to a business document.
Regards
Viveka

Hi,
You could try transaction SWPC - Continue Workflow After System Crash... I never tried it but if you look at the program help that one of the reason it was created for.
