SAP-WUG Digest, Vol 68, Issue 1

Hang on  folks - 

Restarting the deadline every time it gets forwarded sounds like a great big cop-out!
If the work needs to be done in 2 days then you shouldn't get an extension by buckpassing it onto someone else!

I know I'd be very unhappy if I put in a request which had an SLA of complete-within-2-days and it became 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 days because none of the approvers/processors took ownership.

Suggest you should discuss it further with your business process owners. 

Regards,
Jocelyn

Liz,

I'm trying to achieve the same function currently. On ECC6 against the item there are Program exits that I'm attempting to use.  Not working yet though.

So far: (implemented interface)
ls_wihead = im_workitem_context->get_header( ).
lv_action = im_workitem_context->get_action_name( ).
lv_wiid = im_workitem_context->GET_WORKITEM_ID( ).

  IF im_event_name = swrco_event_before_action
  and lv_action = swrco_f_forward_workitem.

*--> Call to Private method.
*    me->after_status_change( ).

If I succeed I'll let you know, this should allow for the functionality to be inserted on any WF item which is always a request from clients.

Mike.

 Rick,

I tried using the function module SWW_WI_DEADLINES_CHANGE.  This didn't
seem to effect the deadline.

The container elements that I am initializing are the deadline_date and
deadline_time and loop_cnt that I am using for the Requested End.  I am
initializing them to the system date and time as the first step in the
enhancement I put in the function module SWW_WI_FORWARD.

What is "normal" deadline behaviour when a workflow item gets forwarded
to another approver?  My requirement is to restart the deadline every
time that it gets forwarded.  Within the workflow I handle this by
simply updating the container elements deadline_date and deadline_time
and loop_cnt.  But as I mentioned this doesn't seem to work when a user
right clicks on the workitem from their SAP Inbox and chooses "Forward".

I appreciate your help!!

Subject: Help How to reset the deadline on a forwarded workitem?



I have a modeled deadline for Requested End in a custom workflow. If the
deadline is reached and the user goes into their SAP Inbox and simply
right
clicks on the workflow item and forwards it to another user, I need to
be
able to reset the deadline as if it has never been reached because it's
in a
new users Inbox.

I have added an enhancement to the function module SWW_WI_FORWARD to
change
the container elements that are used in the expression of the Requested
End
expression.  However , that doesn't seem to reset the deadline. ?

Your help is appreciated.

Hello Liz,

I searched for *DEADLINE* in SE37 and got:
SWL_ADM_DEADLINE_CHANGE
SWW_WI_DEADLINES_CHANGE

I'd try the second one first.
Which container elements did you change?

regards
Rick Bakker

If you use SWWL it will delete the WI from the underlying database. I
suggest you to use Rick's solution for this.

Thanks,

Transaction SWWL will help you do this.  Delete the last workitem in the
workflow.

Hello,

I would try fm SAP_WAPI_RESERVE_WORKITEM first. Reserve it for A.
Otherwise, look at the other SAP_WAPIs, maybe you can forward it from B
to A.
