# Cancel an ad hoc approval for a contract document revision

Cancel an ad hoc approval for a contract document revision if it no longer requires any action.

## Before you begin

You can only cancel an ad hoc approval that is in the Requested state.

Role required: sn\_cm\_core.contract\_fulfiller

## About this task

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to your workspace and open the contract request.

2.  In the **Approvers** tab, click **Cancel Approval**.

3.  In the Cancel Approval dialog box, select the approval record from the **Approval for** field that you want to cancel.

    **Note:** When you have only one contract document, then it is auto-populated.

4.  Enter comments for canceling the approval record and click **Confirm Cancellation**.


## Result
