Handling Batch Input errors in workflow

Question

Greetings Friends,
I got a Subworkflow (Pa. process) to get aproves to unblock a Salesdocument.
After everyone aproves it, the process return to my main-workflow for a Batch input inside in a background task. But the batch input can result in somekind of error and fail. At this time, the workitem is already "lost" (processed?).
There is a way to recreate the workitem for another user? (I got one hint here at SDN about FM SAP_WAPI_PUT_BACK_WORKITEM)
There is a container that saves the last workitem processed?
Att,
José.

Hi Sunny,
What release are you on?  If the workflow errors out, then it must be telling you some sort of exception message.
Either at the header level, or at the individual task, where the red lights are.  (if you are on ECC6, you may need to hit CTRL/P to get to the more comprehensive WF Technical Log).
By all means, populate a custom table with exceptions if you must, or pass the error into the workflow container, but if your task goes into error, it doesn't complete, therefore it can't write the error into the container.
Give standard SAP functionality a try before building too much into capturing the exception.  It's already done for you, and it works.
Hope this helps,
Sue
