How to delete Orphaned Workflow after IDOC processed outsideWorkflow?

Hi Jimmy,

Your IDoc Error Workflow Task should be configured with the appropriate
Terminating event, so workflow is removed from user's Inbox even if IDoc is
processed outside of workflow.

The status of the IDoc (status 53) does not change your ability to delete
the IDoc Error Work Items.
Have you tried these steps?
      1. Display Work Item
      2. Use menu Goto - Technical work item display
      3. Use menu Edit - Change
      4. Click on Delete logically or Complete manually

Jimmy,
Try this..SWO1 on the object FLOWITEM... "test" and instantiate with the
work item number, then run the method "change status" to change the item to
"Cancelled" (logically deleted).  We use this quite often.

Also you might want to use the correction of the IDOC as an alternate to
cancelling the workflow in the design and avoid this problem in the future.
Just a thought.

Best Wishes,
Sherie

Sheldon,
Thank you for the response. I tried that. As I stated, the IDoc already
processed with status 53. 'Logically Delete' is not an option. 'Set to
'Done'' is grayed out.

Found transaction SWWL which looks like will do the trick, but not
authorized.

Posted this message, just want to see if there is any other way.

             Hi All,
             I have a situation, inbound IDoc processed with error,
workflow is
             generated. Instead of going through workflow to processed the
IDoc, someone
             corrected and processed the IDoc through a customer program.

             Now, we have a few Work item remain in the user's Inbox. Tried
SWI1
             'Logically Delete' is not an option. 'Set to 'Done'' is grayed
out. Is it
             Authorization issue? Is there any other way to detete these
Work Items?
             What is the Authorization do I need to do it?

             Many thanks in advance

             Jimmy
