Background job to logically delete work items

[Shai Eyal]

Brenda,

Deleting workitems or not is a business decision.
If you wish to logically delete these workitems you can user SAP_WAPI_SET_WORKITEM_STATUS with status CANCELLED. Afterwards you can archive these workitems.

Good luck,

My new client has a large number of workflow instances active on the system
and many users have inboxes full of work items.  The majority of these are
highly customised purchase requisition release and purchase order release
workflows.  For some reason, these workflows were not designed with wait for
event steps to trap the event when the requisition or order is released or
significantly changed, so the users have performed the necessary steps
outside workflow and the workflows have not been terminated correctly.  We
now need to remove these work items from the inboxes of these users, but
obviously a manual trawl through all the workflows is not a preferred
option.  Is there a function module or BAPI which I can use to logically
delete a workflow instance in the background from a batch program?



Many thanks in advance,

Brenda Raubenheimer.
