Archiving workflows

[Schumacher, Margaret]

I agree that in most designs the workflow approval must remain for the
life of the attached object.  With PO's and Requisitions SAP has written
the application to have the blocking and unblocking as change history so
that might be all your auditors would look for.  This is a unique case
since the PO/Req applications have specific transactions that can be run
outside of workflow to release the documents and log those as change
history.  You need to know what your Business has specified as part of
the retention policies and what the auditors look at when they tie the
SOP's to the actual documents.

A electronic workflow approval is like a  signature authorizing a paper
PO. 

Deleting it is... well, a certain company once became famous for their
use of shredders.

Hello All,

We use quite a lot of workflow - req, po, contract, credit memo
approval, invoice processing etc. We need to start getting rid of the of
old workflows that have completed. We could archive them off but would
prefer just to the delete them using SWWL as the users don't use this
data. Is there any legal requirement to keep these old workflows? Any
other comments? 

 

Thanks

Richard
