Discarding a Consolidation Request

Consolidation request owners can discard a consolidation request in order to revert the consolidation and return the original requests to their previous state.

You can discard a consolidation request for a number of reasons. For example, you may want to include additional source requests in the consolidation request, or remove one or more source requests from the consolidation request, or you may want the source requests to go through some additional workflow (to get an additional approval as a source request before consolidating, for instance).

Note:

You can discard a consolidation request if you are the request owner and the request is in the Submit stage.

When you discard a consolidation request, the following actions take place:

• The original source requests are returned to their previous status of In Flight and the request owners are notified.
• Current policies for the source requests are evaluated and workflow proceeds as normal.
• The consolidation request is deleted.
• A request history item is added to each of the source requests.

To discard a consolidation request, perform an action:

• From Request Activity, select a consolidation request, click Actions , select Discard, and then select Yes to confirm.
• From the consolidation request, click Actions next to the request title, select Discard, and then select Yes to confirm.
