Canceling an approval process
You can cancel the approval process at any time. Canceling the approval process does not delete the approval. You might decide to cancel rather than delete an approval process if you think you will need its details in the future.
If you cancel the approval process, you cannot submit it for review later. Any responses or comments that are made before cancellation are saved, essentially "freezing" the approval with all of its current details.
1.
Open the approval process.
a.
Select Operations > Approvals. The My Active Approvals view displays by default.
b.
If the approval process you want to cancel is not available in this view, select All Approvals.
2.
Click the Status icon (Page with green light) and select Cancel Review.
3.
Enter comments that you want to add to the approval in the Approvals window. For example, you might add reasons why you are canceling the review. Click Continue.
The All Approvals view shows the approval status as Cancelled.
If you cancel an approval that is linked to a workflow task, the task is "crossed out" on the workflow tab. That is, the font for the task and all of its details changes to italics, strikethrough. Additionally, there is an 'x' in the status column, indicating the workflow is considered "Skipped."
