How to withdraw approvals (ByD2005)

With ByD release 2005 we are now supporting withdraw of approvals.

Withdrawing approvals is supported for the following documents:

1. sales quotes
2. services quotes
3. quote for contracts
4. sales orders
5. service orders
6. contract
7. customer invoicing

Configuration

From a configuration point of view you just need to scope the approval process for the document needed. With this the “Withdraw” option is available for use.

Use Case

Once you send a document for approval the user will not be able to edit it anymore. If you would like to make changes to the document so far in ByD you need to contact the approver and tell him to send the approval back. One you have changed it you send the document again for approval.

Now with ByD 2005 we have automated this process as well. The user himself can withdraw the approval by himself. With this the document is not in the approval process anymore. You can make your changes and send it again for approval.
