Hi Praveen,

Please check if for the workitem 70953 in the workflow there is a Requested Start set. It could be because of this that the workflow is still in waiting stage. To maunally execute the waiting step :

1. Execute SWWA T-code

2. On the Application tool bar click on button 'Save & Schedule' and say 'Yes'

All deadline job will be completed.

Hope this helps!

Any suggestions please. This is happening on our production system only. Also this is not

occuring for all contracts but only to few on a re- occuring basis. We want to know what is the root cause of the problem and why these contracts workitem status is in waiting.

Thanks

Hi,

You can try this:-

Clear the buffer in SWU_OBUF and then try triggering WF again..!!

Manually execute that WokItem Now.
