Do you need to notify SAP WF Agents with separate WF Items, or altogether with the same WF Item, using a single WF Task?

Good day colleagues:

This is just a quick trick with which you can quickly decide whether you want to

1) Create/submit multiple SAP WF Items of the same SAP WF Task to a list of Agents, but each action upon the Item is independent, hence resolving it does not affect the other Agent’s Workliskt, or

2) Create/submit a SAP WF Item to all your Agents, same SAP WF Task, so that the first one who works upon it and resolves it, removes the Item from his/her own Worklist as well as from the other Agent’s,

Condition: You have a multiline ApprovalAgents container element in your WF.

Advantage: 1. The SAP WF Task for the approval does not have to change in any of the 2 cases explained, only the WF Step’s Miscellaneous Tab does.

2. This saves you from having to implement a SAP WF Fork.

My promise to you: It is going to be short this time, I promise.

1. Each Agent gets a separate SAP WF Item.
