Hi to all,
I need help about workflow setup. I’m trying to reproduce the example of the guide, so I create a Leave Application process customized.

These are my workflow states:

states.jpg969×396 66.7 KB

These are my workflow transitions:

transition.jpg954×371 63.2 KB

So the Employ create the request the was set in Pending State,
The HR decide if approve or not, if Approved the Manager will be the responsible for the final arrpoval/reject.

When I try to save, an error message is shown “Cannot cancel befor submitting. See Transition 2”

Where is the error?

Hi

From what I know and understand, you can not cancel a document without submitting, i.e. Doc Status transition from 0 to 2 is not allowed. In this example, from in transition step 2, the doc status for pending is being changed from 0 to 2. I guess that is causing the error.

Not too sure though :expressionless:

@rasika25021 is right. Every document needs to go through submit before canceling. We were planning to remove this, but slipped through the cracks I guess.

I red this on the manual, but i don’t understand the meaning, and if this is the problem, the example on the guide is wrong too.

I thought that the doc status 1 is only to assign to the last status, the final approval, and that all other intermediate step should be in 0 status.

So if all states accepted in the middle has to be 1 status, when ihave to use 0 status? Can you give me an example?

Thanks
Alessandro

Anyone can help me to set this workflow?
I try to set also all the state 0 with Doc STatus=1. I can save the workflow but then when i Try to use it, an error message was shown, when I try to move from AAA state to HR APP state.

Status cannot be “HR APP”. It should be one of “Open”, “Approved”, “Rejected”

Regards
Alessandro

Hi all
please may you advice how to solve/workaround this error message :
"Status cannot be “HR APP”. It should be one of “Open”, “Approved”, “Rejected”

I tried to follow the Leave application case mentioned in the documentation before apply workflow on a live case. But sadly even the example is failing with this error message. Any advise?
thanks
very appreciated

Sounds like ‘Status’ is a select field with the options ‘Open’, ‘Approved’, and ‘Rejected’. Check ‘Customize Form’ to see. You’ll have to add additional options there.

I created transitions and states according to the example from documentation . is it supposed that additional status will be created automatically?
