Suspend deadlines for resubmitted work items

[Mike Gambier]

Mike,

 

The standard FM SWL_WI_DIALOG_RESUBMIT is a bit dumb in this area as it merely hands over the value to another standard FM SWW_WI_DEADLINES_CHECK (subroutine check_resubmission_date in INCLUDE LSWL3F01) that only enforces a few fixed sanity checks.

 

It's a pity SAP didn't chuck a BAdI in there to allow you to prompt the user for a more realistic date based on process-specific logic, but that doesn't stop you from asking for one or adding your own stuff via an enhancement :)

 

Regards,

 

Mike GT

G’Day, 
 
Standard SAP triggers deadline handling at the specified date, regardless of status. However we would like to suspend the deadline when the item is resubmitted. 
 
e.g. an item is sent on 24 Jan with a deadline of one week. The approver resubmits it for processing on 1 Feb. The deadline should move to 7 Feb. 
 
This was also asked by Nigel over here:

but never answered. 
 
As an aside, the almighty Google seems to be struggling with WUG posts, it won’t find the above post no matter what search terms you use.
 
Cheers, 
Mike
