Typical issue while approving workitems from SBWP.

[former_member787072]

Hello All,

I have an issue while approving workitems massivley from SBWP. I think we can approve bunch of workitems which corresponds to a single task at once.

But for me iam not able to approve all the related workitems at once. When i select and try approve , it asks me to approve one at a time ( i get screen by screen) . Where some are able to approve at once, i verified my user settings with them and every thing seems to be normal ( Parametes of SU01D).

What could be the reason, please suggest.Its very important for me.

Regards

Mahesh.

Hi,

  Ask the user to check from sbwp->settin->Workflow Settin-> Personal Settin and check 'Transf of Excution to other workitem possible' is checked

Hello Paul,

Thanks for the reply.

I found another thing with this issue.

Can you please tell me , if the confirm end of processing is checked in the method definition for this foreground task, will it allow mass approval.

Is there any limitation  for mass approval for such tasks.

And if it allows even this confirm check box is checked how the workflow knows that ths step is completed if we approve massively?.

Very interesting to know this.

Cheers

Mahesh.

Hi,

  You said in your first post 'some are able to approve at once' .

  If confirm end of processing is checked then they will also face similar provlem like you

Hello,

I think there is a basic problem with the workflow system at your site if everyone wants to mass-approve workitems. What is the point? Why do approvals at all? That would save even more time.

Hi,

Sometimes mass approvals are needed. At my client there is a rule that ALL refunds need to be approved by a person - they cannot go out automatically.

So we allow multiple (small-value) refunds to be selected by one user and approved en-masse. It works quite well in SBWP.

As for the problem being discussed, if it works for one user, it should work for all. Are there differences in authorizations between the users?

cheers
