Imagine approval has to approve SC no XXXXYZ within the date 25/03/2012 but due to some reason if he cant pay attention on work item within his in box,when it crosses  the delivery date it should get deleted from his work list.

Could you pls tell me about any config to do on POWL or any other way ??

Hello Sahil,

I am not sure on an automatic process of deleting an exipred Work Item.

However I would suggest you to use the t-code SWWL pass in the Work Item ID aganist the Field ID remove the fields and then uncheck the DELETE Immediately radio button (so that you can view the description of the Work Item in the Next screen ) and click F8

Select the WI's whichever you wanted to delete and then click on the trash button.

Hope this helps.

Use the following FM's, enter the work item ID and remove your login id from Actual_agent entry.

Hi Sahil,

Another solution would be to create a custom program and then use a std FM to delete the wrk items which have missed the deadline OR use a std program like  RSWWWIDE.

Please refer the below links for more pointers:

Hi Sahil,

Incomplete work items need to be deleted manually.

You can use "Logically delete" option for the WI. Once this is done, the WI will be cleared from the approver's inbox.

Hope this helps.

Hi Sahil,

Please follow the below steps.

1. In BBP_PD, search for the SC

2. Navigate to the workflow log and check for any active work items (e.g status "In Process").

3. Click on Details and then click on the top node of the work item.

4. From menu select "Go To --> Technical Work Item Display".

5. From Menu, select "Edit --> Change".

6. Here you will get different options. Select "Logically Delete".

Please try and let me know if any more help is needed.

Thanks & Regards,

Aswini
