Resubmission of workitem (CAT2)

Question

For the CAT approval process I am using Approval by supervisor standard task , and for the agent determination  I am using CATS approver BADI, due to problem in organization structure there are some org structures which have no supervisor assigned so when the user releases the request for approval after entring the time through CAT2,the workitem get created with no agent assigned, i can see that through CATSDB table. now we have fix the org structure and I want to resubmit the old workitem again to the right supervisor, how can I achieve this in best possible manner?? since there are hundereds  of workitems like that, I prefer to create a program which resubmit all these workitem without agent to the right supervisor, I am thinking of administrator forwarding approach by using the function module, I need to know is that the right approach?
Thanks in Advance

Answer 1

You could probably forward the work items with function module SAP_WAPI_FORWARD_WORKITEM.
Just build a report that goes through the CATSDB table and find the entries with no agent (if possible), then find the approver with the same logic as you have in the BADI that determines the approver, and forward the work item to the correct agent. This could be one approach to your problem.
You could also go through the SAP_WAPI* functions. There might be also some other usable functions.
Manual approach: you list the work items with no agent with the SWI2_ADM1 transaction (not sure if this was the correct one). Then you could execute the agent rules manually with these cases (just press the button for each work item). Anyhow I am not sure if this will work, since I am not familiar how the CATS approver BADI works with the workflow rule. Worth to check unless already done...
