Hey,

On a regular decision step we have the option ,

<i>Cancel and keep work item in inbox.</i> - Now this is SAP std.. can we change the name of this text... or change position of the Button ?

There is a good reason for this button. It is the only button which lets you tell SAP that «Oops I did it again» - I started a work item which I should not handle just yet. Press any other button and the work item is completed and thus disappears from the inbox.

Remove that button and the only option available for the users who want to keep the work item in their workflow inbox is to close the SAP window.

As suggested by others... reconsider this requirement. If they persist, give them an estimate of 3000 hours 😆

Hehe, this is exactly what I try to do in these cases. Another option is by telling them, NO this is not possible in SAP.

Also try to quantify the requirement (how many users have a problem with this and how many times approximately does this cause troubles, and in some cases how much money is gained by implementing this). In one case I was asked to give an estimate for the "removal" of the F12 button functionality in all of SAP, in the end it was contributed to 1 user who sometimes accidentally pressed the F12 instead of the backspace button

Hehe, careful about joking around with silly estimates - I once gave a 1600 hour estimate for a WF which we ended up building

The estimate was for 200 man-days and kept four people entertained for a few months totalling 210 days by the time we hit UAT.
