Removing items in workflow inbox

Hi there,
I want to remove items in the SBWP inbox of my user who has already resigned. These items are already processed. I just want to remove them from his inbox so that it wont be sent to SOST when a background job is run. Previously, I was able to do it using the SWIA but its taking more than 2 minutes to delete a workitem. I have 43,400plus workitems to be removed so I was hoping if there are better ways to do it.
Hoping for inputs from anyone.
Thanks in advance
Jun

Hi Rick,
Thanks for the warning. Anyway, here are our reasons and please correct me if Im wrong.
Before those workitem notifications can be sent to our Lotus Notes, it should be present (or queued) in SOST. But before it
is sent to SOST, it has to come from SBWP inbox. Those items in SBWP inbox will be read by the job SWN_SELSEN and then sent to SOST. Unless those items are removed from the inbox, it should always be sent to SOST over and over and therefors, will be sent to our Lotus Notes over and over.
Thanks

  • Delete Workflow items from workflow inbox.

    Hello All,
    We are using workflow in MSS for Compensation Management. As part of this an email will be sent to the managers when a compensation needs an approval. There are some workflow items under workflow inbox ( SBWP ) . How can I delete emails which I don't want to execute. I don't see any delete button. I can see delete buttons for the documents under inbox, but these emails that I want to delete are under workflow in Inbox.
    Thanks a lot for your help and points will be rewarded for any helpful solution.
    Thanks,
    Chakri.

    Thank You Suresh,
    You are refering to the emails in the inbox ( SBWP ) where I can delete my emails with the help of a delete button. But I am referring to the workflow items that are present under INBOX -> WORKFLOW. There is no delete button on these workflow items. If we execute these workflow items then they will be deleted automatically. I am looking for a solution by which I can delete (clean up) all the workflow items that are not executed from last year so that we can be ready for our compensation for this year.
    Thanks,
    Chakri.

  • Workflow loop, return the work item to the inbox, instead of automatically executing the work item

    Hello all,
    Within a workflow I have a loop. Inside that a foreground step is executed. Then a condition step is executed to decide if the workflow should continue, stop, or return the work item to the inbox.
    This new workflow was modeled after an existing workflow that is doing just that. Unfortunately, this new workflow is not returning the work item to the inbox. Instead, it just keeps displaying the screen that is called by the function module that is called by the business object method that is executed when the foreground task runs.
    I've included a Word document with further detail in a number of screen prints. Hopefully this is something that will experience workflow developer may have seen before and know how to correct.
    Unfortunately I have done very little workflow development and don't have a clue what might be causing this problem.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Bruce
    I could not attach a Word file, so I added 3 jpg files.  I would have added another 3, but it seems that posts are limited to 3 files.

    Hi Bruce,
    As per your design, If you are approving or returning, the workflow loops back to the step "Approver - stat key approve".
    Suppose you are one of the approver for this step ""Approver - stat key approve" and if you click on approve or return, then it will try to create a new workitem for "Approver - stat key approve" step.
    As you are one of the approver again, the window opens immediately instead of reaching the inbox of all other approvers.
    Include a dummy activity step in the "approve & return" condition outcome.
    Active the workflow & refresh the buffer SWU_OBUF.
    After this, when you click on return it will not open the same screen again. Instead it will be reaching all the approvers' SAP inbox.
    Thanks,
    Karthikeyan

  • Deleting all workflow  items from SAP inbox

    any suggestions????
    thanks in advance for your kind attention.

    So if I don't want a user to receive a particular Workflow message everyday, how can I cancel that? Can someone tell the transaction code and procedure to do this?

  • Weird User error - Items disappear from Workflow inbox when refreshed

    Hi All,
    One of our end users gets this error -
    He logs into business workplace, and clicks on one of the items and exits without doing anything - on refresh the item vanishes from his workflow inbox - not visible in any sub folders or Outbox (Work items exceuted by me).
    Same thing occurs when he clicks on the "Reserve" or "Replace" icons for an item and does a Refresh. The item disappears from Inbox.
    Tried to swtich off the Preview pane and refresh - same occurence.
    Tried to refresh / reserve from another computer and the same thing occurs.
    Is this a problem with the GUI / user profile?
    Any pointers highly appreciated.

    Rahul,
    Welcome to SDN Forums!!
    Is the user in question a selected agent for the work item(s)? Does this happen only for a specific user? If so, it could be an authorization issue. Check for any failed authorizations (SU53) for the user. What is the status of the WI when it disappears from the inbox? If in error, check for error messages in the technical display of the WF log.
    Cheers,
    Ramki Maley.

  • Item does not move from Workflow Inbox to Work Item Executed by me

    Hi experts,
    We have implemented workflow inbox for invoice payment. After archive document in OAWD, we will do posting through Workflow inbox. After posting, the item should go to 'work item executed by me' folder. But the problem is the work item is still in the workflow inbox. What should we do? Pls help. This is urgent. Correct answer will be rewarded, TQVM in advanced.
    Rgds,
    Nanie

    Hi Arianie,
    First check the status of your WORK ITEM ID. You can check it in SBWP or in SWI6 transaction.
    If your work Item ID still remains in the SAP Inbox & does not move into outbox i.e. "work Item Executed by me" then it may happened that your workflow is not triggered after users/responsible agents action completion. You can check the graphical status in SWI6 transaction itself.
    Also check whether your Work Item ID's status is not "ERROR" . If it is "ERROR" then you need to resume the work item ID (Whose status is Error) to start/recall the workflow.
    Thanks

  • Exchange 2010 + Outlook 2013 = Items deleted from inbox, Keep Re-Appearing. (Cached mode outlook only)

    Hey Team,
    We have a single user who when she deletes items from the Inbox they re-appear (in the inbox), if she is running in cached exchange mode. The items do not re-appear in OWA.
    She is not experiencing any network connectivity issues
    We have rebuilt her MAPI profile including deleting all existing OST files
    We have removed and reinstalled outlook / office 2013
    She is the only user with the issue
    There are no Sync issues
    As soon as we disable cached exchange mode this issue immediately goes away, she is running Office 2013 RTM.
    Any Ideas,
    Thanks,
    Robert

  • Any function module to get all items in SAP INBOX

    hi All
    I am trying to get all the items in my SAP Inbox via rfc.
    Can anyone help me with any function module to get all items in SAP INBOX.
    Thanks

    Hi Mukesh,
    Step 1. Use FM SO_USER_READ_API1 to get the folder details of the user
    Step 2. Use FM SO_FOLDER_READ_API1 of the respective folder. You can read the Inbox, Workflow Inbox depending on what folder you read. The function modules are documented well as well with examples.
    Hope this will  help u,
    Thanks & Regards

  • Receiving tasks in UWL and in R/3 Workflow inbox

    Hello,
    We are setting up workflow based on WS50000031 (used in MSS PCR approvals) , it has a subworkflow WS500000033 - ApprovePCR with a task TS50000075 (PCRweb) to approve/reject the PCR adobe form.
    Requirement - The approvers approve/reject based on the tasks that they receive in their UWL. They click on the task and the adobe form is launched with options to approve/reject/back to author. However, in the custom workflow, we are including more approvers and these approvers do not have MSS access (or not managers). In other words, they prefer all their work items in the R/3 inbox instead of the UWL. When tested,The work item can be seen in the workflow inbox, but cannot be executed. 
    How can we get this functionlaity where the approvals can be done through workflow (R/3) inbox, launching the form in a similar manner (the ones for UWL users)

    Imthiaz and Mike,
    Thanks for your replies.
    Mike:  Sorry for making it sound a bit confusing. What I meant by not having MSS access, is that the users are not managers, but still are approvers. Currently they work from their R/3 inbox to work on other work items (other than HR related). As they are "used to" R/3 inbox, they want to approve in R/3.  The idea of giving them a portal role and  setting up an UWL has been rejected.
    Thanks.

  • Stoping subscriptions to go to Workflow inbox

    Hello experts,
    In our system, all subscription emails are going to the workflow inbox in portal.
    Also, any email from the document approval process is going to the workflow inbox in portal.
    therefore, the inbox is getting very big. The items ander the tab "Tasks" can even not be deleted.
    I need to stop these emails from going to the workflow inbox.
    Can anyone please piont me to the right document to start with.
    thank you very much.

    Hi Sabbir,
    Goto Content Management --> Repository services -->Subscription service . Deactivate that is set the parameter "Send notifications to action inbox" to 'No'.
    By default it ll be activated as a result notification ll also be send to UWL.
    Hope this clears you.
