Hi Loren,<br>
<br>
A better option might be to test the status in the 'Complete
Execution' Condition for the step. Not sure if that will break the
dialog chain. you can easily test it.<br>
<br>
And for the other question, the answer is SWC_CALL_METHOD
<Object> <Method> <Container>.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Ramki.<br>

downside to this is if someone happens to change the

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">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"><image001.png><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>
