PO release workitem won't clear - 'Check FM ends with exception'

Question

Hi all,
I've got a workflow with multiple approval steps even after all steps in the PO complete successfully, i have one work item in the middle of the approval process that won't clear and the event log shows 'Check FM ends with exception' even though the PO is released successfully.
i've got the BUS2012 RELEASED event set as a terminating even to task TS20000166 as standard but i think the release code might not be getting received correctly.  How can i debug this or fix it?
Regards
Amir

Hi Kjetil
Unfortunately it is not a customer function.  ME_REL_CHECK_EVENT_PARAM is a SAP standard Check Function and has trapped me before.  Basically it checks the workitem container (before image if you like) against the event container.  (see Below)
Get the release code from the workitem container.
swc_get_element wi_container 'RELEASECODE' wi_release_code.
  if sy-subrc ne 0.
    raise container_error.
  endif.
Get the release code from the event container.
swc_get_element event_container 'RELEASECODE' evt_release_code.
  if sy-subrc ne 0.
    raise container_error.
  endif.
Compare the two release codes; if not equal: raise exception.
   if wi_release_code ne evt_release_code.
     raise release_codes_different.
   endif.
Weird, huh.
