[Former Member]

I triggered workflow and workitems sent for approval initially I did not given latest end deadline date and time but now I want set latest end deadline date and time

can I achieve above using fm

SWW_WI_DEADLINES_CHANG ?

if yes can you tell what parameters need to pass for setting latest end date and time

Hi,

So workflow is triggered.

Design is changed (modeled deadline)

No you want to change prior executed workitems.

Answer: You can't, workflow uses versions.

Work around: find out how workflow was triggered, logically delete existing workitems and retrigger to instantiate workflow with newest version.

When you have a deadline active you can manually change it by going to the workflow log, click your workitem then goto-->technical work item display

Then select Edit-->change

Now you have the option to manually click on change deadline service.

The function module does the same but programmatically,
