Instead of a terminating event for your custom EDIT method, Try
issuing an EXIT_CANCELLED if the document is not 'COMPLETE'. This
will keep the workitem from completing.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hello Wuggers,<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hope someone can help me here:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have a requirement in a workflow to have
a two-part approval process for the Incoming Invoice (BUS2081)
business object. The first part of the approval process is to
have the approver open the document in Edit mode and review
and make revisions to a restricted number of fields. Once
their review is done, we want them to click “Save as Complete”
and then automatically advance to the second part of the
approval process where the user decision (approve or reject
buttons) appear.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For the first step of the process, I am
using the standard EDIT method of the object and when I define
my task for using this method, I assign the terminating event
“COMPLETED” so that the task will only complete when the user
clicks “Save as Complete”.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The problem is that the EDIT method for
this object is asynchronous:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><img id="Picture_x0020_1"

height="378" width="405"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So the “advance with dialog” option does
not work to automatically advance to the user decision step
where the approve/reject buttons will appear.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I tried to create my own custom synchronous
method in the object that was a copy of the standard method.
I then created a new task to execute this new method and
defined the same terminating event. However, the problem with
that is when I insert the task into the workflow, there are
two outcome paths. One path is for the terminating event I
assigned but the other path is the normal “advance” path.
This causes the workflow to advance to the user decision step
when we don’t want it to. We only want it to advance when
they click “save as complete” and raise the COMPLETED event.
With this configuration, the step advances when they click
other options on the screen like “back”, “exit” or “cancel”.<o:p></o:p></p>
