Setting workitem status to 'Completed'

[Khanna, Manish]

Hi Ananth,
 
It seems these are background workitems.
 
In SWI1 for each workitem goto edit > workitem > execute background ...
(dont remember the text)
 
Hope this helps.
 
Thanks
Manish

Hi Anath, 

I am not on ECC 5.0, we are running 4.7. But I believe that the set to
complete option will only work for workitems of a dialogue nature where
the 'confirm end of processing' has been set and some processing on that
workitem has been has happened.    You will not be able to just simply
complete workitems when they are processing midstream or have yet to be
executed.   

I think the best way to solve your problem is to investigate why each
workitem is in 'In Process'.  For example:- 

- are users receiving workitems that require then to physically complete
the workitem and they are not trained or are simply forgetting to do
this extra step after processing? 
- do you have workitems that being generated in error are really not
supposed to be in existence? 
- are these workitems really supposed to be completed? 
- is there errors in the programming of the workflow where processes are
not competing? 

It is good to hear you are trying to keep your workflow environment
clean and clear of superfluous workitems.  The workflow manager will
work much faster with fewer outstanding items.  One tip is to make sure
you are not generating workitems for users that maybe require one way
email notifications instead of workitem notification steps. 

Lastly, if you really need to get rid of the workitems that are lying
around in production and have clearly established they have to go.  You
probably can delete them logically in the workitem change screen (where
I am sure you know will keep a copy for your records).  I am sure before
you do logically delete workitems  you will notify the users that are
going to be affected, since I am not aware that you can reverse this
process. 

bind away,

Hi All,

I am working on mySAP ECC 5.0 version.

I am faced with a situation where there are lots of workitems which
are in 'In Process' status. I want the workitem status to be set to
'Complete' status by using SWIA transaction.

I executed the SWIA transaction, selected the workitem and clicked on
'Complete Manually' button. But there has been no change in the status
at all, but in the history of that workitem, I see that the ' Workitem
replaced manually' being displayed, but no effect at all.

Can someone let me know how should I go about to change to status to
'Complete'.



Thanks in advance,
Ananth
