  For more information, refer to How to Get the App

Good to Know

• As a best practice, cancelling a process in Manage Center is used for exception cases that are not handled in the configuration for an app.
• When you cancel a process, all tasks in Assigned status are removed from the participants' task list.
• As a best practice, if you cancel a process instance, it is recommended to search by process instance name so that you do not cancel the wrong process.

  To search by process instance name, you can retrieve it from Work Center. For more information, refer to:

  • Process Details screen (Modern)
  • Task Details screen (Modern)

  In this example, the process instance name is Sales Invoice-2022-11-28T05:05:58:102.

• The Sales Invoice app creates an invoice for products sold by an organization. This app provides a form to enter information for the invoice. The invoice request is then routed for escalating approvals from the finance manager.

  For the use case in this example, after the process starts, the customer has canceled the sales order. A user with the necessary access rights cancels the process in Manage Center.
