FAM/PUR Workflow Log Maintenance

Use the FAM/PUR Workflow Log Maintenance option to review the state of the Budget Adjustment, Budget Transfer, Accounts Payable, Requisition, Purchase Order and Change Order workflows. In addition, you can review Vendor Access Center invoice and vendor workflows. You can cancel notifications for these workflows and delete entries from the workflow log table.

Menu Path:  System Administration > Workflow (Legacy) > Workflow Maintenance > FAM/PUR Workflow Log Maintenance

Action Bar Item

The following item displays on the FAM/PUR Workflow Log Maintenance page for entries that display using Errors as the Action Type:

Cancel Workflow

Enables you to cancel workflow notifications that are still being sent due to errors. The cancel only stops the notifications being sent to email or activities. It does not send a new notification that the workflow was canceled, nor does it change the status of a record that still may be in the approval process. This action item only displays when you select the Errors as the Action Type for any Workflow Type.
