Workflow Items when a manager is Terminated

[Susan R. Keohan]

Hi Ron,

Welcome.

In our shop, we set up a Passive Substitute for the person who has left, 
giving the new person the ability to process the workitems.  We maintain 
substitutes in table HRUS_D2, in both R/3 and SRM.

Of course, any good WF application should be checking to see if the 
Manager is still valid (via HR, or SU01 dates) before delivering new 
workitems to them.

Can't help out in MSS/ESS though.

Regards,
Sue
