Make an Approval Workflow Inactive

An alternative to deleting an approval workflow is to make it inactive.

When it is inactive, it cannot be used for processing approvals. However, you can make it active again, if needed.

You can make an approval workflow inactive only if it is not currently specified as the approval workflow being used for an application. To see if an approval workflow is currently being used by an application, check the General and Inventory tabs in Settings > Purchasing & Inventory > Company.

To make an approval workflow inactive:

  1. On the Navigation menu, click Settings > Workflow > Approval Workflows in the desktop application.
  2. In the Search field on the Approvals Configuration form, select the approval workflow to make inactive.
  3. In the Status field on the General tab, select Inactive.
  4. Click Save.
