@armando_hernandez_ma

same feature is available in Quotation.
We can set quotation to Lost and enter Lost Reason as shown in photo.

Code:
erpnext/quotation.js at develop · frappe/erpnext · GitHub

github.com

frappe/erpnext/blob/develop/erpnext/selling/doctype/quotation/quotation.py#L43


      
          
          
		from erpnext.stock.doctype.packed_item.packed_item import make_packing_list
          
          
		make_packing_list(self)
          
          
	def validate_valid_till(self):
          		if self.valid_till and getdate(self.valid_till) < getdate(self.transaction_date):
          			frappe.throw(_("Valid till date cannot be before transaction date"))
          
          
	def validate_shopping_cart_items(self):
          		if self.order_type != "Shopping Cart":
          			return
          
          
		for item in self.items:
          			has_web_item = frappe.db.exists("Website Item", {"item_code": item.item_code})
          
          
			# If variant is unpublished but template is published: valid
          			template = frappe.get_cached_value("Item", item.item_code, "variant_of")
          			if template and not has_web_item:
          				has_web_item = frappe.db.exists("Website Item", {"item_code": template})

You can write same script on after_cancel event. So after cancel system will ask user to select a reason for cancellation.

I would suggest to hook into the on_cancel event of the DocType in my app and push up a dialog, where i can enter the reason and store it somewhere, maybe a CustomField or a special Reason DocType. This would be the most simple solution.

Or you can enter a Comment using the board tools of ERPNext in the DocType history. But this is not an enforced process but more a working procedure.
