I've set it up and deadlines work but have you ever tried to use this to dynamically set the deadline recipient as the approver's line manager? I tried it with a hard-coded user and that was fine but can't see a way to get it working dynamically. Any help would be appreciated.

Below is an excerpt from Tips & tricks for the txn. You can do this for the standard workflow itself."... You can also adapt defined deadline monitoring to meet your own requirements." Cheers,Ramki.

I have already got the workflow WS14500015 working with an implementation of BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI to determine the approvers but I need to add deadline monitoring. As far as I can see there are 2 options:- Take a copy of the standard workflow WS14500015 and add deadline monitoring to the approval step. I tried this and the workflow doesn't really work properly as a copy.- Use SRM Alert Management with the background job SWWDHEX. I've read the limited documentation on this but I can't get it working.Any advice would be appreciated,Thanks, Anna Fogg> > > _______________________________________________> SAP-WUG mailing list> SAP-WUG at mit.edu> http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/sap-wug> > > Try Facebook in Windows Live Messenger!
