Cancelling workflow in sourcing7

Hi,
I am using sourcing 7. My question is, how do I cancel a workflow? I do not see Workflow Definitions -> Current Workflow Processes in sourcing 7.
Scenario: Contract document is submitted for approval. Approvers receive an email to take necessary action on the document.
System admin logs in and wants to cancel the workflow. After this the Approvers should not see the pending action item and contract document status will move back to previous phase.
Appreciate any help.
Regards
Moumita

Hi Palz & Moumita,
In our landscape we have enabled cancel on Contract Document screen with following option
1) Copy the standard report for cancelling Workflow and create one restricted to the current Contract Document (This can be done with a hidden filter) - Note for this type of query to work, a new Query group has to be created for Contract Document since the hidden filter would be of Object Picker type
2) Create a new report for the custom query
3) Add this report to the "Document Report Configuration" for Contract Document
To Cancel the workflow -
1) Open the Contract Document in Workflow
2) Go to Reports on Contract Document toolbar and run the report to cancel Workflow
3) New pop up window opens with option to Cancel the Workflow

Cancellation Workflow for PO

Hello SRM Gurus,
We have a business requirement when purchaser cancel PO due to some reason it should go to his manager for approval. So my question is that is it possible to configure PO cancellation workflow (extnded classic). If yes how can we do it ?
Thanks,
Prashant

Hi Prashant,
I do not see why it couldn't be possible to trigger a 1 step WF in case of PO cancellation.
In the criterai, you should be able to use the PO item status (cancelled) to drive your WF requirement.
Kind regards,
Yann

LSO Cancellation Workflow issue???

Hi Experts,
I have copied the standard LSO Cancellation Workflow WS12000004, whenever i cancel the course in the portal the workflow is triggering and generating 2 parallel work items of Time Dependent Sub workflow . There is no fork in the main workflow even though its generating the same sub workflow parallel. But as per my requirement the sub workflow need to generate once... How can i achieve this???
Thanks,
Srikag

Thanks for your reply...
Whenever the event is triggering only one workflow is trigerring but its generating 2 same work items parllely, but i am not sure why its happening... Inside the workflow there is a condition based on that it will choose the path as Time dependent or Time independent course these both are 2 different sub workflows... Time dependent sub workflow is trigerring twice...
I have checked the configuration in that they maintained the same workflow twice for different courses... Do you think this will be the problem...? If so 2 times the same workflow should trigger but in our case only one time workflow is trigerring but its generating the 2 same work items parllely...
thanks,
Srikag

How to cancel workflow programmatically in sandbox environment

Hi,
I have 3 workflows asscociated to a form library in our sandbox environment. Is it possible to cancel the running workflows / mark the status to cancelled for overall workflows and respective tasks programmatically rather than
using Designer or powershell or some windows timer job. Since it is a sandbox environment, i'm can't use SPWorkflowManager. Any ideas?

Leave Cancellation Workflow - WS01000109

Hey SAPiians,
We have implemented the "Cancel Leave" service on the ESS at the client's end. We have already implemented and tested the service for "Leave Requests" using workflow "WS12300111".
Now i have the following questions:
1. Can the same workflow be used for "Cancellation of leave" ??
    If yes, are the necessary deletions performed from the respective
    infotypes ??
2. Can the workflow WS01000109 (Cancel Leave Request) be used for the
    same purpose ?? Where do i need to put the Workflow id in the
    config ??
Here is what we did...
1. We made a copy of the workflow WS01000109 (Cancel Leave Request) and did the expected activations in workflow wherever required.
2. In transaction PTARQ under CUSTOMIZING -> Service-Specific Settings -> Working Time -> Leave Request -> Processing Processes -> Specify Processing Processes for Types of Leave -> Define Absences/Processing Processes, we put this workflow id in the section "Workflow Template" in the cancellation request input box.
3. We then tested the scenario by raising a request. However, the request gets deleted without any approval and also no workitem is created in SWIA.
Is there any other setting which needs to be done to activate the workflow ??
Please guide.
Thanks,
Shashank

hi Shashank
Use only WS12300111 workflow template for delete,change and applying leave. Am using the same standard workflow for all the three cases its works fine. No need to worry about infotype. If you tag your workflow in cancellation request work item will go to the approver if he approves then run the post documetn which will convert from status approved to posted in tabel PTARQ_HEADER then go to t-code PA30 type the employee number and infotype 2001 and check the overview you can find the type of leave applied and date and all details.

There is no standard Workflow triggered when the Approved leave request
has been deleted by the employee!
This step should be configured by the customers as when to trigger a
mail to the Admin or Supervisor, when deletion or cancellation happens.
The workflow template is a simple template you can modify
to suit their needs.
The note 878916 is to make work flow enable to handle the case of
withdrawn request which are not posted. After implementing this note
all you need to do is insert an email step in the withdrawal path and
this will trigger an email to the approver informing that leave request
has been deleted by the employee.
Please read the note as ot lists the steps

Error auto-firing an approval workflow inside a project's workspace

Hi all,
I have activated the SS2010 Workflow in PWA site collection features in order to use an approval workflow in one of my project's workspace. I setup the workflow under "Project Documents" and select to auto-start upon an item's creation. However this doesn't happen and I always get an eventreceiver exception in Event log. It works as expected when I fire it manually. I am connected as the system account.
Is this a known issue or is the log correct stating that a system account cannot trigger a workflow autostart (below)???

Leave Cancellation Approval is not triggered

Hi Frnds,
   The leave cancellation workflow which is configured in IMG is not triggered for leave request with status APPROVED or SENT excluding the status u201CPOSTEDu201D.
IMG Configuration for workflow:
1) WS12300111                u2013 New Request
2) WS99900053 (Copied from WS12300111)     u2013 Cancellation Request
Example:
New Request           - Triggers WS12300111 for approval
Fully Approved           - Use WS12300111 for approval routing
Cancelled the fully approved request     - WS12300111 (but it should be WS99900053)
Can anyone help me out with the solution?
Thanks,
Suganya

1. Leave Cancellation WF is triggered only for cancellation of posted documents.

Stop and Restart Workflow on Item Edit (sharepoint online)

How can I stop running the workflow instances for the current updated list item?
I mean, how can I recognize the item that just updated and how can I stop the workflow
that access with this item? in s.p online.
thank you!

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to cancel workflow in SharePoint online.
We can pass the ID of the list & list item to get all the instances, then you can enumerate each of them and find the one you want to suspend or terminate.
To pass the ID of the list and list item, you can refer to the following code snippets.
// connect to the workflow services via a CSOM client context
var clientContext = new ClientContext(siteCollectionUrl);
var workflowServicesManager = new WorkflowServicesManager(clientContext, clientContext.Web);
// connect to the instance service
var workflowInstanceService = workflowServicesManager.GetWorkflowInstanceService();
// get all instances
var workflowInstances = workflowInstanceService.EnumerateInstancesForListItem(listId, listItemId);
clientContext.Load(workflowInstances);
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
Then we can find the list item workflow to suspend as below.
foreach (var instance in workflowInstances)
// is this what we are looking for?
// if so, suspend it
workflowInstanceService.SuspendWorkflow(instance);
// or you can terminate it
workflowInstanceService.TerminateWorkflow(instance);

Prevent editing whilst workflow in progress

Hi
I'm using SPD Approval workflow. Whilst in progress it is possible to edit the document which isnt desirable as if there are a number of approvers they could approve various versions.
One option is to cancel the workflow if document edited (using checkbox option supplied), but this edit could be acidental and the workflow would need restarting.
Is there a a way to prevent editing to the document whilst workflow in progress or is there a good reason to cancel workflow upon edit?
Thanks in advance.

Hi ,
According to your description, my understanding is that you don’t want other people to edit the document when the workflow is in progress.
You use SharePoint Designer to customize the task process to lock them out upon starting and give them rights again upon rejection and completion.
More information, please refer to the link below:
