How to: Cancel Document Approvals

A customer may want to change an order after it has been submitted for approval. In this case, you can cancel the approval process and make the necessary changes to the order before you resend it for approval.

To cancel a document approval request

  • In the relevant document, on the Actions tab, in the Functions group, choose Cancel Approval Request.

When the source document has been canceled, Microsoft Dynamics NAV updates the status for the approval entry to Canceled. The document's status is updated from Pending Approval to Open. The approval process can start again from the beginning.

Tip

  • To see all your approval requests, open the Approval Request Entries window.

  • You can set up Microsoft Dynamics NAV to send an email notification to each approver, notifying them that the approval process for this document has been canceled.
