You will check here pending documents with the user that you want to lock. Insert the User ID and only select the Workflow status Unposted / In wokflow and Posted / In workflow.
If any document appears, we need to transfer these documents to a different user (normally provided by the requester, if not contact the EUP Team) and only after we can proceed with the blockage. (2.5. Recall / Resend Workcycles)
If no documents pending we can proceed with the request to block the workcycle user.
Insert the new user id and the Freshdesk ticket where it can be found the original request for this lock as shown below:
To unlock it you will need to follow the next steps:
- Go to the Freshdesk tool to see if you find a ticket with the reason why this user was locked. Then inform the requester and do not unlock it.
If there are no tickets:
- Go to the GRC portal. If this user cannot be found here it means that the person is no longer in SOLVAY. Please inform the requester and do not unlock it.
If the users is in the GRC portal:

WW Annual Cleaning
SBS Data Operation Team is responsible for the annual clearing of the obsolete user ids (worldwide)
Once a year it is extracted the list of PF1 and WP1 webcycle users through the SE16_/COCKPIT/TWC_UMP. Then the list is send to the HR team (email - sbs.HtRSupport@support.solvay.com) with this information:
"In the frame of the PtP Improvement request - Inactive Users - we need to identify from the list provided, the users that are already obsolete (retirement, left the company, ...) in order to clean our database in SAP.
Could you please add the USER ID info as we have in the GUDSIS?
We need to have that information in order to align the active users with they SAP user ID in order to be possible access the tool using the single sign-on."
The HR team will provide a new list with the requested information.
With the information received the operator will search for pending webcycles from the obsolete users. As these webcycles need be transferred to other users a shared file is created to EUP Team requesting the user ids of the substitutes.
When received the data the webcycles are transferred and the obsolete users are locked.
