Orders waiting in the workflow in the in Progress or blocked states will continue when the workflow is resumed.

Stopping Instructions

The Stop operation is available from the action menu of any instruction in a workflow:

• A stopped instruction suspends any incoming order to create a breakpoint in the workflow.
  • Users can resume a suspended order from the same position or other position in the workflow.
  • Resuming from the same position forces the instruction to be executed.
• The operation to stop an instruction applies to the version of the workflow for which the stop operation is performed.

Precedence of Status Operations on Workflows and Jobs

Jobs in a workflow can be stopped and skipped at the same time. Other instructions can only be skipped. In addition, the workflow can be subject to suspension.

The above explanations suggest the following precedence of operations in descending order:

• A An instruction such as a job being stopped is assigned the highest precedence.
  • If a workflow is suspended then this means that orders can complete the current instruction in the workflow.
  • If the current instruction in a workflow is stopped then the order will be suspended before the workflow is suspended.
• If a workflow is suspended then orders will be frozen after processing of the current instruction has been completed.
• If the order with a specified end position is added then the order will leave the workflow when it reaches that end position.
• A job which is skipped experiences the lowest precedence compared to stopped jobs or other instructions and suspended workflows.
