Checking for duplicate WFs for an Applicant object

[Alon Raskin]

Hi Sue,
 
Use Function Module SAP_WAPI_WORKITEMS_TO_OBJECT. I haven't used it but I think it will do the trick.
 
To prevent superfluous triggering, you should implement this in a Check Function Module rather then the workflow itself.

Subject: Checking for duplicate WFs for an Applicant object



We are on 4.7, 620.

 

We have a workflow that begins when an Applicant/application is created (via an event).  Our users have a tendency of creating additional applications (which creates additional workflows) when they don't see the first workflow right away.  I want to add a step to the beginning of the Applicant workflow that checks to see if a workflow has already been started (and is active) for an applicant.  If there is already an active workflow, then I'll complete the current workflow.

 

I need to create a method that reads all workflows for the applicant object (like SWI6).  Is there a function module that does this?  What is the best way to determine if a duplicate workflow has been started for an applicant?

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
