Hi,<BR>
<BR>
Steps can be logically deleted in Branches & Forks because of End Conditions and also via other Process Control steps (Cancel Work Item, Cancel Workflow, Cancel Workflow including all Callers and Complete Workflow) which may be defined elsewhere in the same WF Definition. <BR>
<BR>
They can also die if their Parent Workflow is itself terminated or logically deleted by its Parent, i.e. a SubWF forced to end by a Parent WF.<BR>
<BR>
They can self-terminate if the steps point to Tasks that have terminating events.<BR>
<BR>
And steps can be manually deleted too of course by people with enough access to do so.<BR>
<BR>
It's unlikely that the step decided to delete itself. It's more likely that something terminated it in a controlled way because it was no longer required.<BR>
<BR>
The Step History tab in the Workflow Technical log should be able to tell you what happened in your particular case.<BR>
<BR>
Regards,<BR>

<DIV>Hello Team,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I had triggered a vendor related workflow. Following are the steps that i follow:</DIV>
<DIV>1.Once the Purchase Org approver approves the data changes.</DIV>
<DIV>2. check the Purch Org approver's action(here iam using multiple condition step - approve,reject,more info)</DIV>
<DIV>3.Check whether the purch org approver and the company code approver are same?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>In the workflow log, step 2 status is shown as 'Logically deleted'.</DIV>
<DIV>Because of this my workflow has ended abruptly.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Could you please help me out of this issue.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks in advance,</DIV>
