As a Process Manager, you may need to return a request for approval to the requestor. Returning the request to the requestor is considered a rejection of the request. If the requestor submits the request again after you have sent it back, a new approval request process begins.

Returning a request has the following results:

The request is not complete. For example, if the request was to post an invoice, the invoice is not posted.

The request appears on the Completed page of the My Workflow Processes page with the status Rejected.

The request for approval no longer appears on the list of the approvers' pending requests in their My Approvals page.

Depending on email settings, the requestor may be notified that their request was rejected.
