Questions and Answers

Question 1:  With workflow in-activated (not activated), why does the message "your changes have been submitted for approval and are pending review" show when an attempt is made to terminate an employee in the employee information application (P0801)?

Answer 1:  Access the Object Management Workbench (OMW in the fastpath).  Search on Workflow/Process = TERM*.  Note that there are a number of termination workflows.

If workflow for employee termination is not desired, disable all TERM workflows:

• Go into the design form for each TERM workflow to select Disable workflow. Do this also for Workflow/Process= EEMAST1 if changes to the employee master also do not need approval.

• When complete, access the Process Task Monitor P98860. Search on any active workflows. Highlight the grid row of the pending workflow for an employee and take the Row Exit to Terminate. This is terminating the workflow(s) previously submitted.
