Erase workitem

[Former Member]

Hallo,

someone started a workflow, which in turn it generates a workitem. Now the user wants me to erase that workitem, for some reason; otherwise he´s getting a message every 5 days with the request to process it.

I can see in transaction SWI1 the workitem, the status is in process, in the protocoll I see the many emails that were sent ... but I find now way to erase a workitem.

What is the transaction or procedure ??

Thanks a lot.

You should always search the forum and then search. If the client is receiving mail you can either complete the workitem or forward it to someone who is responsible for this by using Tcode SWIA.

However you can delete workitem using FM

SWW_WI_ADMIN_CANCEL.

Thanks

If you want to erase the workitem use SWWL transaction. But please keep in mind the further steps from the workitem will be stoped.

1) Search here in SDN for one of the many previously answered questions for the exact same problem.

2) Search in [help.sap.com|http://help.sap.com/] for "workflow transaction codes" (for your release) and you will get one hit with title "Important transaction codes". Look there.

3) Consider whether you should really delete a work item just because a user finds an e-mail reminder about doing his/her job annoying. What I mean is: is it OK to delete this work item, or should it actually be processed instead?
