To terminate a process instance, you must have appropriate access
rights as a process administrator.
You might want to terminate a process instance if the work or documents
it represents are no longer needed, if no one is available to complete the
process instance, if you have encountered problems with the process template
and it needs to be redesigned, and so on.
To terminate a process instance,
do one of the following:
- Click Terminate on the Process Instance page.
- On any of the process instance list pages, for example, Administered By
Me, select the check box next to the process instance, then click Terminate.
This action stops the process instance immediately without waiting
for any outstanding activities. Process instances that are terminated are
not compensated.
