Release Strategy issues in 4.6c

[Sample, Rick]

Hi WF's,

I have an issue with performance. I think! 
I have a Purchase Release Strategy WF I am working on. 
User approves his step, Wf catches the Release event and 
evaluates for next approver. Standard approval stuff. 

The issue:
When user approves his task, wf event triggers, then I immediately go
and evaluate the Rel Strategy.
The standard BOR swc_get_property self 'RELEASESTATUS' l_status is
obviously getting the BUFFERED data. 
If I put in a WAIT UP TO 3 SECONDS then to a SELECT with BYPASSING
BUFFER I get the correct value 
from the SELECT, and I can verify that the BOR get property is the
buffered data. 

In all my time doing WF, I have never had to work around such a timing
issues. 
This solution 'appears' to work and is in a background task, so I don't
think it will be an problem. 

Also, I tried using the FMs in ME01 to refresh EKKO buffers, read the
EKKO buffered data, etc. with no success.
Anyone have a more elegant solution or comments with my above solution?

Thanks much,
