Terminate or reopen confirmation processes/schedulers

You can terminate a confirmation process scheduler, for example, if you do not want the scheduler to create further confirmation processes. You can terminate a confirmation process, for example, if the open confirmations must be closed because they are redundant or obsolete. You can reopen confirmation process schedulers and confirmation processes again after you terminated them. You cannot reopen a confirmation process that belongs to a terminated confirmation process scheduler. In this case, you must first reopen the confirmation process scheduler.

Prerequisite

You have the Confirmation manager or Confirmation owner function privilege.

Procedure

  1. Open the Confirmations fact sheet of the relevant object or model.

  2. If necessary, use the filter to limit the list.

  3. In the row of the relevant confirmation process, click More More, and then Deactivate/Terminate Terminate scheduler or Deactivate/Terminate Terminate process.

  4. Click Yes to confirm.

    The scheduler/process is terminated. If you terminated a scheduler, no further confirmation process will be created. If you terminated a process, all open confirmations are closed and displayed with Status (issue) Not completed status in lists.

  5. To reopen a scheduler/process, click More More in the row of the relevant confirmation process, and then Back/Reopen Reopen scheduler or Back/Reopen Reopen process. Reopen is only available if you terminated the confirmation process scheduler or confirmation process before.

  6. Click Yes to confirm.

If you reopened a scheduler, confirmation processes will be generated according to the specified conditions. If you reopened a process, the open confirmations from before the termination are also reopened for confirmation by the addressees. The users responsible are notified automatically by e-mail.
