Using Work Queue Work Items

Use

A work queue work item is generated by the workflow system when you use a work queue.

Once the work queue work item has been generated and you know its work item ID, you have the following options:

  • Process the work queue within a workflow.

  • Control the release, processing and status evaluation of the work queue with function modules.

  • Control the release and processing of the work queue by processing the work queue work item directly.

Integration

To create the work queue work item from the list, you use the function module SWZ_AI_CREATE.

Features

Work queue work items are not displayed in the Business Workplace. The work item status indicates the overall processing status of the work queue.

A work queue work item can also be identified with the type code A in the technical information on the workflow.

For more information on the possible status of this work item, see Status of a Work Queue Work Item.
