Question

Could a LF Forms Business Process Instance that has ended be restarted?

asked on March 20, 2018

We are creating a business process to process Accounts Payable Requests.  Once the requests is paid in our financial systems we update the check number in a dB table and then will hopefully be using a Timer Catch to update the business process variable and create the PDF in the repository.  At this point currently the business process would reach its End Event.  Let's say for some reason the payment needs to be reissued.  This means the check number on the PDF and in the Business Process is incorrect and needs to be changed.  Could that business process be restarted somehow to make that necessary change or would we need to create the business process in a way that it will never reach an End Event unless the Check Request is Declined?

Hi Jared,

There is no way to put a "completed" instance back to "in progress" status, so you need to create the business process in a way that it will never reach an End Event unless confirmed.

Thanks that's what I thought.  I just thought maybe there was a round about way.
