You have the option to click the Cancel Request option, from the toolbar, if the request is not in progress or has not been completed.

In the History log:

If the destination shell template does not have a Cost Sheet defined, and the user tries to add Cash Flow by CBS or Summary CBS curves, the following message will be displayed in history log: "Cost Sheet is not defined."
If the selected cash flow curve is of the Commitment type and the Commits BP setup does not exist in the destination shell template, the following message will be displayed in history log: "Business Process <BP name> setup does not exist or is in inactive status."
If the selected cash flow curve has a schedule selected either from Activity Sheet or Schedule Sheet, and the selected Activity Sheet or Schedule Sheet does not exist in the destination shell template, then when the user saves the properties of the selected cash flow curve in the destination shell template the system will display error message.
