What is the Force Complete Task action in contract workspaces or sourcing workspaces?
How do I force complete a task in a contract workspace or sourcing workspace?
You can use the Force Complete Task action to close unwanted or obsolete tasks in a workspace. While there are many reason you might need to force complete a task, the following list includes a few common scenarios:
- You created a task inadvertently and can't delete it from the workspace
- An action completed elsewhere in the project added an unwanted required task to the workspace
- A task is obsolete because you completed the task's actions outside of SAP Ariba
For example, obtaining an electronic signature outside of the task's workflow
Use the following procedure to force complete a task in a workspace:
- Open the workspace
- On the Tasks tab, locate the task you'd like to complete
- Select the task's name, then select Action > Force Complete Task
- Select a value for the AltStatus field and enter a comment (optional)
To see how the AltStatus value affects a task's status in the user interface, refer to the SAP Help Portal topic How to force complete a task in a contract workspace - Select OK
You must be a member of the Customer Task Administrator system group to see the Force Complete Task action.
If you don't see the option to force complete a workspace task, refer to Why don't I see the option to force complete a task?
