Completing Parent Subtasks of Early Completing Subtasks
You can use this option in the following environments:
-
Multiple stages and groups of participants perform subtasks in parallel.
-
A participant in one group approves or rejects a subtask, which causes the other participants in that same group to stop acting upon the task. This also causes the other parallel group to stop acting upon subtasks.
For example, assume there are two parallel subgroups, each in separate stages, as shown in Figure 29-40. One group acts upon lines of a purchase order. The other group acts upon headers of the same purchase order. If participant ApproveLines.Participant2 of the first group rejects a line, all other task participants in the first group stop acting upon tasks. In addition, the second parallel group stops acting upon headers in the purchase order. In this scenario, the entire task completes early.
